Army Wives, Season 4

Claudia Joy:
You're having a baby? Seriously?

Denise:
Yup.

Claudia Joy:
I don't believe it.

Denise:
You? What about me?

Claudia Joy:
What about Frank?

[Camera cuts to Frank and Michael in Michael's office]

Frank:
I was fine, once I came to. [shakes head] At first I thought she was joking.

Michael:
So would I. You had no inkling?

Frank:
[shakes head] None, none. After Jeremy was born they said Denise couldn't have more kids. [pauses] We haven't worried about birth control since.

[Camera cuts back to Claudia Joy and Denise]

Claudia Joy:
You always said you wanted more children.

Denise:
I meant twenty years ago. Talk about a late gift.

Claudia Joy:
Oh, you're healthy, you're strong. This is a blessing. It's exciting.

Denise:
Try terrifying. Well, you know the risks at our age. Chromosome problems, pre-eclampsia, even diabetes. I just thought I was past all this long time ago.

Claudia Joy:
Having kids keeps you younger.

[Camera cuts back to Frank and Michael]

Frank:
[horrified] Oh God. I feel old. I'm gonna be that guy sitting at a little league game with the ice cream dribbling down his chin. Other parents are gonna think I'm someone's grandpa.

Michael:
[chuckles] Who cares what they think? I'd say this calls for a drink.

Frank:
At nine in the morning?

Michael:
It's four in the afternoon in Baghdad.

Frank:
Roger that.

[Camera cuts back to Denise and Claudia Joy]

Denise:
Don't you have anything stronger?

Claudia Joy:
Not for nine months, my friend.

Denise:
Oh, I just realized that I will be packing lunch boxes when I'm fifty.
