Courteney gives Brad a stern look.
Courteney : I'm sorry, I'm just stressed...
Andrea : About what?
Courteney : The baby.
Kristin : Jen's baby?
Jen laughs.
Courteney : Yeah, I mean I'm going to be a godmother... I've never had that responsibility before.
Jen : Court... you're a mother.
Courteney : But being a godmother is different.
Jen : Yeah, different in that it's a lot less responsibility.
Courteney : Well...
Jen widens her eyes as Court goes on.
Courteney : What if you two die?
Brad shakes his head, laughing.
Courteney : Then I suddenly have 2 children on my hands.
Jen : I don't think we're going to die any time soon, honey...
Courteney : But what if?
Jason : There's always a what if.
Jen turns to Jason, shaking her head.
Jen : Court, if it's too much of a responsibility...
Courteney : No...
Brad's phone suddenly starts ringing, interrupting her.
Brad : I should take this.
He leaves the table before Court goes on.
Courteney : No, it's my responsibility to take... it's all mine.
Jen : Mhm.
Andrea : And we'll help you Court. It's not like you're going to be alone.
Jen : Hey, Brad and I are not going to die...
Andrea : I'm just saying.
Jen : I know, I know... but I just think...
Brad : Jen?
Brad walks back into the room, trying to get Jen's attention.
Jen : I don't think it's necessary to find out who's gonna help Courteney or not to take care of the baby when neither of us are even close to being dead yet.
Jen laughs, before Brad taps her shoulder.
Brad : Jen?
Jen : What?
She turns to look at his shocked face, not realizing what's going on.
Brad : Uhm...
Jen : What is it?!
Brad : The hospital called.
Kristin : What hospital?
Jen's eyes widen as he goes on.
Brad : Maria's in labor.
Jen : What?!
Amanda : Oh my god!
Jen covers her mouth with her hands, while the whole table starts shouting.
Jen : When I said it could be any minute... I didn't mean it literally.
Kristin : Jenny...
Courteney : I'm not ready for this!
