The office women are decorating the conference room. Angela is putting up pink streamers. Phyllis' is sticking small cut-outs of baby chicks on the wall.

ANGELA (passing by)
Ducks? Really?

Phyllis glares at her.

RECEPTION
Jim taps the desk lightly.

JIM
So... Michael says we'll be back by 3. But putting that in his time zone...

PAM
You won't be back till later tonight?

JIM
Here are the car keys.

PAM
Thanks.

Michael leaves his office and walks over.

MICHAEL
Alright! Are we ready to depart?

JIM
Yes.

Michael's car. Michael is driving while Jim stares absently out the window.

MICHAEL
So. Just a couple of weeks.

JIM
What's that?

MICHAEL
Doomsday is looming!

JIM
Sorry, I--

MICHAEL
She looks ready to burst! Just... huge. God, when is that thing gonna come out?

JIM
Oh, you mean the baby.

MICHAEL
I-- yes.

JIM
Yeah, shouldn't be too long now. So, is this meeting in the--

MICHAEL
Bet you're freaking out. Man, things aren't gonna be the same again, huh? You being a freakin' father.

Jim looks serious for a moment, his lips twitching into a sort of half-smile.

JIM

Yeah.

MICHAEL
I mean, you're hardly ever gonna get sex anymore. Have you talked about that, you and Pam? Worked out a... a schedule?

Jim throws a 'help me' look into the camera.


OFFICE. Pam is led into the conference room by the other women.

PAM
Wow, this looks great, you guys. Thanks.

Kelly watches Pam sit, hand on her stomach, with a look of pure envy.

TALKING HEAD-- KELLY
I swear, whenever I look at Pam I just want to die. Like, seriously, if I'm not pregnant in the next two years I will kill myself. ... Or adopt.

Pam is opening presents. She opens a bag from Phyllis, pulling out a bunch of knitted items.

PAM
These are adorable, thank you!

PHYLLIS
I can't wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl.

Pam rubs her stomach.

PAM
I don't know, I'm kinda thinking boy...

DWIGHT (from doorway)
That's impossible. Unless this has been confirmed from an ultrasound--

KELLY

Dwight, this is a girls only party, get out.

DWIGHT
But I--

Angela walks over and shuts the door in his face.



Dunder Mifflin Branch. Michael parks the Sebring, the pair exit.

MICHAEL
Okay... so... you have the bi-annual finance report, then?

Jim stares at him.

JIM
Michael, you said you had it covered. I thought you'd brought--

MICHAEL
I... yes. Well, it doesn't matter. Let's just... c'mon, let's go.

JIM

                         Oh my God...

OFFICE.

PAM opens the shiny pink parcel in her hand. She smiles and nods.

PAM
Of course.

She holds up a small white book that reads Baby's First Bible.

PAM
Thank you, Angela, this is great. We... didn't have one of these yet.

ANGELA
No, I didn't think so.

KELLY
Okay, me next!

She passes Pam the present. She opens it to reveal a set of Baby Einstein movies.

KELLY
I saw these on Oprah, it'll make your baby like, a total genius.

PAM
Right, yeah, thank you!

MEREDITH
My sister got those for her kid. You can just turn them on and leave them in front of it. They'll stare at it for hours, you can even leave the house, go out... It's like free babysitting.

PHYLLIS
Pam? Are you okay?

Pam has her hands on her abdomen. Her face has gone pale.


WAITING ROOM of Dunder Mifflin branch.

RECEPTIONIST
Alright, you two can go right in.

JIM
Thank you.

He reaches into his pocket and turns off his cell phone.
