The Baby My Husband Lied About

No. No.

I always forget how big this place is.

It's just a house.

It's just a mansion.

Hey. Bags to the west guest suite, please. Thanks.

Uh, honey, here you go.

Oh, uh, please, we have uh, people to help us with that.

Thanks.

I'll never get used to all of this.

Yeah, it's something, isn't it?

And I'm, I'm worried we're gonna be late.

Oh, wouldn't even worry about it. Mom's probably

too busy planning her party to even notice we're here or not.

That's fine for you. You're her perfect son.

But if we're late, she'll blame me.

You know she's like that with everybody, right?

Don't take it too personally.

It's been a year and a half since we eloped and she still

goes on about how I denied her the chance to watch

her only son walk down the aisle. And it was your choice.

Think she's over that now. Our wedding, our choice.

Our wedding, your choice.

Well, as much as I'd like to continue this debate,

I am getting a little distracted.

Seven weeks today. Can you believe it?

No, I still can't.

How'd I get so lucky?

Oh, sorry.

What's wrong?

Oh, uh just one of our clients about seeing

the Fuller Park project. They're having trouble selling.

Well, that's great, right?

Uh, yeah.

Come on, let's get ready for the party.

The party, right.

Here we go.

It really is great that you are finally getting some

interest on those properties.

Yeah. But, it means I might have to do a tiny bit

of work this weekend.

Don't burn yourself out.

You're allowed to take a break every once in a while.

Yeah, I know, but I want a comfortable life

when the baby comes.

Which also reminds me that you need to have

some rest and relaxation this weekend, okay?

Because I know how intense my mother can be.

I just hope she doesn't hate what I got her.

It is extremely difficult finding something

for the woman who has everything.

No, she's gonna love it. I promise.

I was thinking that maybe we could give her

a gift that she could brag to her friends about.

Such as?

Such as... the grandbaby.

You know, maybe they could announce today that they're

going to be grandparents.

It's still quite early. I don't know if I feel

comfortable announcing it to everyone yet.

Can we just keep it between us, just for a little while longer?

You know what? You're right.

There's a lot going on today and um, I want all eyes on you

when we announce it and the baby. You ready?

As I'll ever be.

You look beautiful, by the way.

Thank you. You look all right.

A-ha.

Oh!

- Hey, Mom. - Darling.

- Mwah! - Hi. Hello.

Hi.

Well, it's about time. Where have you been?

Sorry, Mom, we uh, we got caught up.

Um, happy anniversary.

Congratulations, Annabel.

Well, thank you, Jennifer.

And I trust the suite is to your liking?

As usual, it's lovely. Thank you.

That's for you.

Oh. Well, isn't this interesting?

Uh, Jen put a lot of thought and effort into it, Mom.

We uh, wanted to get you something that you could keep

forever and was special.

Well, I appreciate the sentiment.

Now you head out to the pool.

There's a lot of people waiting for you.

Okay, great. You look beautiful, Mom.

Thank you, darling. Enjoy.

- Thank you. - Oh!

Even by Annabel standards, this is some party.

You do know not everybody lives like this?

Oh, I know. I live a very privileged life, darling.

But I'm not gonna take it for granted

because I have you to keep me grounded.

Mm-hmm. Uh, there's Carrie and Marcus. Let's say hi.

Um, you know what?

I'm not really in the mood for Marcus tonight.

What is it with you two lately?

You can't be together for five minutes

without being at each other's throats?

I don't know, Marcus just keeps saying

he's a doctor, you know, just like Dad,

and that I'm just in real estate. You know I just...

I don't think he means to upset you, Spencer.

Come on, it's a party. Let's go party.

Come on.

Okay, fine.

I appreciate that.

Yeah.

Hi!

Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

I'm having a particularly bad case of imposter syndrome.

Oh, it never changes.

No matter how many of these parties I come to.

Well, how's my favorite cousin?

Uh, I'm your only cousin.

Business is booming, yeah?

Oh, here we go.

Buddy, I told you not to start a business right now.

The Fuller Park units, they're not selling, are they?

Well, luxury listings are taking a little bit longer

to find the right buyer for. So, uh, but you wouldn't

understand that 'cause you're just a doctor.

- Oh. - Spencer!

No, no, that was good, he got me.

I still feel like Annabel hates me.

No doubt Spencer's ex would be fit right in here.

Apparently she was like the daughter that Annabel never had.

- Uh... - Hello, my darlings.

Hi, Mom.

- Auntie Vanessa. - Spencer.

Ladies.

Hey.

I just had to come and get my hugs

before I get another plate of these delicious prawns.

Mom, it's canapes. They bring it to you.

That's the entire point.

Oh no, I'm not going to wait.

Oh uh, I'll leave you guys to it. I'll see you in a bit.

All right.

- Hey. - Hey.

So, he gets to go say hi to my dad

before I even had a chance to talk to him, right.

You know what? I need a drink.

Speaking of drinks?

Oh, thank you.

Um, so about Annabel. - Hmm.

One time she told me that she could never understand

why Spencer ended things with Maddie.

Oh, no.

It's bad, right?

Yeah. Uh, I miss our double dates.

Me too.

Hmm.

Can you please tell me what's going on with our husbands?

They're butting heads all the time these days.

It's so strange, isn't it? They used to be so close.

Hmm, well at least the guests of honor are having a good time.

Thank you, darling.

Mm-hmm.

Forty years together.

Personally, I can't believe William's hung on for this long.

Surely you don't mean they're not as happy

as they'd have us believe.

No, he's definitely hanging in there

because all of the family money is Annabel's.

Hard agree. You know, although

not all relationships are perfect, right?

Oh, something you're trying to tell me?

I'm just keeping it real.

Someone around here has to.

Enjoying yourself?

Yes, thank you.

Cheers to that.

Cheers.

William.

Annabel.

I'm so glad you could make it.

I wouldn't have missed it.

Well, I will let you see to the rest of your guests.

Excuse me.

William.

What is that all about? Talk about frosty.

Yeah. Yeah, there's no love lost between those three.

Annabel and Vanessa don't speak unless they have to

and I don't think William was too keen on keeping in touch

after his brother died.

He's always been super hands on with Marcus

but it was like Vanessa never existed.

Mom sure knows how to throw a party.

Yeah, well, she paid enough for it.

Huh.

How are the uh, how are the properties?

You know what? Uh, let's just not talk about work.

Fair enough.

Spencer's had a pretty tough relationship

with his father, right?

Yeah and I don't see it changing anytime soon.

Spencer often feels like he's um, letting his dad down.

He's disappointing him.
