Did you go home and change? It's an important day.

What if the baby needs him? What's the deal with you and doctors? Is your father a doctor? Yeah.

Who the hell is Jordy? -Your son.
I don't have a son named Jordy.
We all agreed on Jamie.
Jamie was the name of Susan's first girlfriend so we went back to Jordy.
What do you mean, back to Jordy? We never landed on Jordy.
We just passed by it during the whole Jesse-Cody-Dillon fiasco.
Ow! Leg cramp! -I got it.
-I got it.
I'm doing it.
You get to sleep with her.
I get the cramps.
No, you don't.
That is it.

-He did.
I'm trying to get a person out of my body here and you're not making it any easier! Now go! -Thanks.
-See what you did? -Listen -Out! Breathe.
Breathe.
What is that? Something exploded.
-That's not the baby, is it? -Her water broke.
Calm down.
Water breaking? What do you mean? What's that? Breathe.
Breathe.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
That's disgusting.
I'm okay.
-This is so your fault.
-How is this my fault? Carol never threw me out of a room before you.
There's a lot of things Carol never did before me.
-Are you trying to be clever? -You're so threatened by me.
Hey.
Okay, all right.
That's it.
Get in here.
My God, you guys.
I don't believe you.
There are children coming into the world here and your fighting isn't the first thing they should hear.
So stop all the yelling! Just stop it! Don't make me do this again! I don't like my voice like this! Who wants to hear something ironic? Are they here yet? Don't worry, we're gonna find them.
And until we do, we are all here for you.
Okay? You were telling me about Paris.
It sounds wonderful.
There was this great little pastry shop right by my hotel There you go, dear.
-You find them? -Not in the gift shop or cafeteria.
Where are Phoebe and Joey? There's something sinister going on here.
If you find anyone, or parts of anyone scream.
And scream again.
-Help! -Come on! -I'm having a baby in there! -Hello! Okay, everyone stand back.
Ow.
All right, good thing we're in a hospital.
Come on, Lydia, you can do it.
Push him out, push him out.
Harder, harder.
Push him out, push him out.
Way out.
Let's get that ball and really move.
Let's get I was just Yeah, okay.
Push, push, push.
What are you gonna do, suck the door open? Help! Help! And they found their bodies The very next day And they found their bodies The very next Mom, everything's going fine.
Ross is great.
He's in a whole other place.
No, he's gone.
No, you don't have to fly back.
Really.
What do you mean "This might be your only chance"? I'm only 26.
I'm not even thinking about babies yet.
-Where have you been? -I just had a baby.
Mazel tov.
It could be one hour or three.
But relax.
She's doing great.
So tell me, are you currently involved with anyone? Not at the moment, I'm not.
Are you? No, it's hard enough to get women to go out with me.
Right.
Yeah, I've heard that about cute doctors.
No, really.
I suppose it's because I spend so much time, you know where I do.
I try not to let work affect my personal life.
But it's hard when, when you do what I do.
It's, like.
Well, for instance, what do you do? I'm a waitress.
Aren't there times when you come home at night and you're, like: "If I see one more cup of coffee.
" Gotcha.
-I'm gonna check up on your friend.
-That's fine.
-How'd you know I was here? -Your mom called me.
So is this her? No, this is a loaner.
Ours is at the shop.
God, I hope she has my brains.
I'm sorry you had to do this by yourself.
I wasn't by myself.
I had a doctor, a nurse and a helper guy.
-So did you see who won the game? -The Knicks by 10.
They suck.
They're not so bad.
Come on.
Come on.
-You're doing it too hard.
-You have to do it hard or else Damn it.
Damn it.
Damn it, damn it.
This is all your fault.
This should be the greatest day of my life.
My son is being born, and I should be in there.
Instead, I'm stuck in a closet with you.
I have been waiting for this as much as you.
No one's been waiting for this as much as I have.
You know what's funny? You go home with the baby.
Where does that leave me? You're his father.
Who am l? There's Father's Day.
There's Mother's Day.
There's no Lesbian Lover Day.
Every day is Lesbian Lover Day.
This is so great.
Do you wanna explain that? I mean, when I was growing up, my dad left and my mother died and my stepfather went to jail.
I barely had enough pieces to make one whole parent.
And here's this baby who has three whole parents who fight over who gets to love it the most and it's not even born yet.
It's just the luckiest baby in the whole world.
I'm sorry.
You were fighting.
Where are they? -They'll be here.
-They wouldn't miss this.
Relax.
You're only at 9 centimeters, and the baby's at zero station.
You are really frightening me.
Somebody wanna help me? Trying to rip out my heart.
That's great.
Anybody seen a nipple? Ten centimeters.
Here we go.
-Time to start pushing.
-But they're not here yet.
-I can't tell the baby to wait.
-Oh, God.
-Okay, got the vent open.
-Hi, I'm Ben.
I'm hospital worker Ben.
It's Ben to the rescue.
Ben, you ready? Give me your foot.
On three, Ben.
One, two, three.

That's it, Ben.
What do you see? I see what appears to be a dark vent.
Wait.
Yes, it is, in fact, a dark vent.
Pheebs, it's open.
It's open.
Wait.
You forgot your legs.
-Push.
Push.
-We're here.
We're here.
Where have you been? Long story.
I need you to keep pushing.
I need Excuse me, can I have this? There's too many people here.
There's about to be one more.
So if you're not an ex-husband or lesbian life partner, out you go.
-Bye-bye.

Yeah, I know.
Look at him.
Nothing.
I don't think that's his name.
Look, he's closing his eyes.
