Duncan: Babe, the hot water!
Erin: Sorry! I forgot you were in there.
Duncan: Want to hop in with me?
Erin: Tempting… I do need a wash. I’m dying for something to eat though, maybe later.
Erin: The TV is still on! I’m amazed at what that kid can sleep through.
Duncan: Heh, he takes after his Mom.
Erin goes into labour later that morning.
Erin: It’s a girl!
Lewis: Wow, a little sister???
Erin: That’s right. Any name suggestions?
Duncan: Uh..
Lewis: Penny?
Erin: Hmmm. I like Penelope. A little more formal. Duncan, what do you think?
Duncan: Penelope’s fine by me, babe.
Erin: You take him, dear. Lewis, are you ready for school?
Lewis: I wanna hang out with the baby!
Duncan: Sorry, kiddo. Get yourself dressed before you miss the bus!
Duncan: Sorry, kiddo. Get yourself dressed before you miss the bus!
Aiyanna: It’s uh…
Duncan: We really are gonna try the just friends thing, yeah?
Aiyanna: Sure, sure. Listen, um. We should talk!
Duncan: Uh.. congratulations? It’s Alon’s, right?
Aiyanna: I told you, we’ve been taking things slow. We never…
Duncan: Please don’t say what I think you’re going to say.
Aiyanna: It’s yours, Duncan.
Duncan: Fuck.
Duncan: This is awful, Erin’s gonna kill me. I was totally gonna try and be a decent husband, too.
Aiyanna: It’s not like I did this on purpose! You came onto ME!
Aiyanna: I’d be happy to just leave you guys alone but.. I need help! I have like, no idea how to raise a kid.
Duncan: What about Alon, can’t he help?
Aiyanna: Look, you’re not the only one with a partner who’s about to kill you! I’m freaking out, I dunno what to do!
Aiyanna: See, you’re great with kids! And you’ve already got all this baby stuff. I’m thinking maybe you should have custody?
Duncan: You’re kidding. One baby is already tough enough!
Aiyanna: It’ll be easier if we pool our resources though, right?
Duncan: Can you beleive this chick, Penny? You don’t want a little brother or sister, do you?
Aiyanna: I can hear you, you know.
Duncan: I’m sorry, I’m sorry. We’ll figure this out somehow.
Aiyanna: I really didn’t mean for this to happen.
Duncan: It’s okay, it’s not your fault, I just… we’re screwed, right?
Might as well make the best of a bad situation!
Aiyanna: I’d better get going.
Duncan: Yeah. I’ll have to figure out what I’m going to tell Erin.
Aiyanna: If she does try and kill you, you can hide out at my place.
Duncan: Thanks. Might take you up on that if it gets too intense.
Erin goes straight to bed when she gets back, and Duncan spends most of the evening worrying. How can he spin this so he doesn’t look like a total asshole???
Duncan: You awake, babe?
Erin: Just checking my emails…
Duncan: Cool, cool. Listen, you know I love you more than anything, right?
Erin: I sure hope so.
Duncan: Right, well, um. I might have kind of maybe fucked up a little…
