[She of course has a big, warm smile for him, as always, but there's a hint of nervous energy to her. Every so often, she glances at something off-camera]

Hi sweetheart! How are you today?

Yeah, I don't think that'd be any trouble. How about you? Are you ready for this? Excited? ...happy?

Sweetheart... I don't think any guy is totally ready to be a dad but I'll do my best and, yes, I'm excited. I'm over the moon. The woman I love is pregnant with my kid and is okay with me being the stand-in dad for her other son who I love just as much. It's a lot to, you know, absorb but, well, how could I ever be happy without you?

You are going to make a wonderful dad, and we're going to have a beautiful family. I just know Laurel and Julian will be thrilled to discover a new cousin on the way. One that won't be as fragile as Alex, Emily and Haley.

Laurel will love anyone new that she can hug. That girl has so much love in her that it's amazing... But you're right. The kids will be over the moon. Almost as much as me.

So... I guess I'll see you in two weeks, love? I promise my mom's going to like you more than she likes me.

Two weeks. You bet. And come on--I'm just the girlfriend and bearer of grandchildren. You're her son. Mothers always love their sons.

And speaking of, Alex is about due to get up from his nap. But, I wanted you to get the news when I did! Love you.

Snap. Give the little man a hug for me, okay?

[He grins at her before awkwardly waving.]

Talk to you later.
