More time passes, and Tiffany's now pounding the bed and screaming that she wants to go to the hospital. "I can't do it," she whines. Lily points out that she is doing it, and "doing it beautifully." She tries to get Tiffany to focus on the fact that pretty soon she's going to have a baby. This doesn't exactly soothe Tiffany, who shrieks, "I'm not ready! I don't even like babies!" Lily takes a seat on the bed and gives her a pep talk, telling her, "From the first moment you look into this little baby's eyes, your heart is going to open in ways you never dreamed possible. Just hang on. It won't be much longer."
Downstairs, Zoe and Grace spring up at the sound of huge brakes squealing. Jake flies through the door and hugs each of them in turn. Tammy's right behind him, asking where Tiffany is. "Is that a snowplow?" Zoe asks, peeking out the foyer window.
Up in the bedroom, Tammy gets right down to business, declaring that there are too many people in the room. "You're gonna stay, right?" she asks Jake. "Are you kidding?" he asks. Out in the hallway, Lily slumps against Rick's shoulder. Tammy pokes her head out the door and says that Tiffany wants Lily to be there. Lily looks uncertainly at Rick. "Well? Get in there!" he urges.
The gang at Karen's is knee deep in the Monopoly, with the exception of Jamie, who's tucked in on the couch. Eli returns from the washroom or wherever he was and notices Jamie tossing around on the couch. "I think he's having a hard time," Judy whispers. Eli grabs his guitar and comes to the rescue, moving to sit next to Jamie on the couch. He asks, "Want me to show you how to play a G-chord? " Jamie emerges from beneath the blanket, looking intrigued. Eli arranges his fingers on the strings and then hands Jamie a pick to strum with. At the sound, Eli launches into "O Come All Ye Faithful," and Jamie grins at his accomplishment. He starts singing along with Eli, who's now fully playing the guitar. Jessie joins in, and Karen proudly rubs her back. Sam wanders in from the kitchen and is amazed to see his kid actually interacting. The adults join in the song. At the end, they all squeal and clap delightedly. Karen clasps her hands together and looks fondly at Eli, thinking, "God bless us, every one!"
Jake props Tiffany's shoulders while she pushes, and Tammy urges her on. The momentum builds, and Tammy cries that she can see the baby crowning. Lily and Jake laugh and shout their encouragement while Tiffany screams bloody murder.
