Gallery: Screencaps
Robin: I can’t be in labor. It’s too soon.
Elizabeth: The best thing to do is just breathe, all right?
Patrick: You and the baby are going to be fine. You’re going to be fine.
Robin: Okay.
Robin: I’m glad you’re here.
Patrick: Of course I’m here. If this baby’s going to come tonight, we’re going to be ready for her.
Robin: Yeah, you’re right…
[Robin breathes deeply]
Robin: Because I’ve been taking my meds religiously so there’s a less than 2% chance that the baby could have HIV. And, if this is premature labor, then they can do a C-section. And then that’s fine, because that can work as well. So, no matter what, it’ll be fine.
Patrick: It’ll be fine. There’s only one thing missing.
Robin: What?
Patrick: A name for our little girl. If she’s going to come out tonight, we need something better than “hey you.”
Robin: Okay, what?
Patrick: Well, I was thinking Millicent, right? Milli for short.
Robin: Well, “hey you” is starting to sound really good.
Patrick: Yeah, maybe you’re right.
Kelly: I have good news. You’re not in labor.
Patrick: Oh, good.
Kelly: You’re having Braxton-Hicks contractions.
Patrick: False alarm.
Kelly: This is perfectly normal. It’s your body getting ready for the real thing.
Robin: Sure didn’t feel like practice.
Patrick: Well, if they’re more frequent and more intense, Braxton-Hicks signals pre-labor. It’s the softening and the thinning of the cervix.
Kelly: Someone’s been doing his homework.
Patrick: Yeah, well, I figured if I knew what this was going into it, it would kind of lessen the stress and the anxiety part of it.
Kelly: Yeah, how’s that working for you?
Patrick: It didn’t work at all.
Kelly: Well, there’s nothing to panic about here, okay? You’re healthy, and as long as you relax and avoid unnecessary stress, you should carry to term.
Anna: It was a scare. So we’re going to look on this as kind of a dry run, right? How did we do?
Robin: We did all right. I mean, I definitely have a lot of love and support.
Anna: You have so much love and support, support kind of beyond belief. It’s ridiculous, really.
[Robin laughs]
Anna: I — I don’t know. I feel like — you know, I want you to be happy, and I want you to have it all, and I’ve kind of turned into this awful, obnoxious, sort of overbearing mother that thinks that she knows what her child wants, and… okay, here’s the part where you’re supposed to jump in and say, “oh, no, no, no. You could never be that person.”
[Anna laughs]
Robin: Mom, I know that you’re always coming from a good place, and I love you for that.
Anna: So what I want to do is declare an official moratorium on all advice, but I’m going to reserve the right to hover.
[Robin laughs]
Robin: Okay, you can hover any time you want.
Anna: Am I that bad, really?
Robin: Uh…
[Anna laughs]
Robin: No, I’m just kidding. I just hope that I can be half the mom that you’ve been to me.
Patrick: How are you feeling?
Robin: Oh, a little silly. I just freaked everyone out, including myself, and got all emotional over Braxton-Hicks, which is fairly common.
Patrick: You know, I’m glad this happened. I’ve been badgering you about marrying me. Not very charming, and it’s not very funny, and it’s stressing you out, and that’s the last thing you need. Yeah, we’re going to raise our little girl together the best we can, and that should be — that should be enough for now. I love you, and I’m going to respect that, so no more proposals, no more affidavits. Subject’s closed, okay?
Robin: I love you, too.
Patrick: Good.
Patrick: I’ll see you later.
