Okay, Emma. One cheerio at a time.
Walk to Daddy. I know you can do it.
She's seconds away from walking.
I can tell. Come on, Emma.
Ben, she will walk when she's ready.
Okay? She's a woman.
If she knows you want
it, she ain't gonna do it.
Go to work.
- (Sighs)
- Fine.
But if I miss her first steps,
I'm holding all of you responsible.
Bye, Baby.
- (Door closes)
- I don't know.
She looks pretty ready to me.
Come here, Emma.
Walk to your uncle Danny.
Come here, Baby.
(Gasps)
Ohh.
Tucker and Riley: Ben, wait!
(Theme music playing)
It's amazing how the unexpected
can take your life
and change direction.
Well, we didn't catch him.
I forgot that when he hears a girl
shouting his name on the street,
he just runs faster.
- (Chuckles)
- It's fine.
We'll just call Ben and
tell him what he missed.
Okay, no one is calling anyone.
- That was actually your phone.
- I hate you.
Ben would be devastated if he found out
that he missed Emma's first steps.
Well, maybe we can reenact it
so it seems like the first time?
Both: Yeah, that never works.
Look, Ben is a great dad.
There's only one thing to do.
Lie lie lie
like we have never lied before.
So what if Ben misses this?
I mean, he has missed a lot of firsts.
Like her birth.
Okay, maybe Ben didn't start out
being the best dad,
but he has come a long way.
All you boys have.
Here you go.
There.
Okay. Hi. Hi.
Hold her.
Whee!
Isn't this fun?
- There you go.
- (Gasps)
Want to maybe
take a step over here?
Is she okay?
Uh-huh.
Have a seat.
Oh.
Nice and easy.
Ah.
Is she having fun?
Yeah.
You guys look comfy.
Excuse me.
How old is your baby?
Oh, um that's a good question.
I met Angela at that party in the village,
- Mm.
- We dated for maybe six weeks
before we were intimate.
And she broke up with me
pretty much right after that.
I'm sure there's no correlation.
So we're into August now,
and they take like nine months
once they're up and running?
- I think so.
- So
(Sighs)
(Mouths)
Three months.
Three months.
My baby's three months old.
(Chuckles)
This plan is not working.
I'm out of food, the diaper's history,
and the new one's gonna blow any minute.
And apparently, there's some new rule
about bringing babies into the locker room?
Hey, buddy!
Why don't you put a towel on or something?
I've got a baby over here.
Rude.
I cannot do this, okay?
I've got a lap full of pee,
and it isn't even mine.
Hey! I can really use a diaper out here,
and I know one of y'all's holding.
Baby or senior, at this
point it really don't matter.
Where you going?
The cops are after us!
We just broke into our
neighbor's apartment.
You have to hide us!
You took Emma on a heist?
See?
Most fathers wouldn't do that.
Okay, Emma. I gotta get to work.
I'll see you at home, okay? All right.
(Chuckles)
Sorry about that.
So are you sure there's nothing you can do?
Actually, I think there is.
I didn't realize you were a couple.
Who, me and Juice Box?
Yeah.
I mean, I bi-racial gay couple?
That's like hitting the jackpot
on the diversity form.
Really?
Yeah, you are a couple, aren't you?
Yes, we are.
A couple of guys raising a baby together.
Baby's at the ready.
Oh, yeah.
In three,
two, one.
- Roll! Roll!
- Come on, Emma.
Come on, Emma. Come to Daddy.
- Oh oh oh oh.
- This way. Lead with your head.
- Oh oh!
- Emma, this way.
- Come on, Baby, come on.
- Emma Emma Emma.
All: Emma?
- Tucker: Where's the baby?
- Emma?
- Emma?
- Found her. Under the table.
Wait, here is my retainer.
I have been looking everywhere for this.
Okay.
Be careful. Grab this end.
All right. On three.
One, two, three.
(Danny and Tucker grunt)
It's okay.
Knock-knock. Child services.
Yeah, you really should
get used to hearing that.
Bonnie: Danny, just put her down.
It's not like she has a
limited number of steps in her.
Well, what if she does?
What if she uses them
all before Ben gets home?
Well, if she runs out,
she can always borrow some of mine.
(Chuckles)
Dude, I swear you know less about babies
than those two.
- Mom?
- Yeah, Sweetie?
Is it just me, or does Emma
look a little different?
What is going on?
Why do you look like that?
Well, today we learned
that a picnic with Emma is no picnic.
What's the emergency?
Oh my God. Is that Gerard?
Danny, I explicitly asked
you not to set me up with him.
You promised.
Okay, I'll tell him you're not interested.
But he wouldn't stop talking about you.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Well
You know, then it would
be rude not to say hi
now that I'm here, then, right?
You two ladies wanna tamp it down?
- (Imitates teenage girl)
- Please, don't call my mom.
She will totally freak out.
And if she grounds me, I'm gonna miss Prom.
And I think that David and I might
actually do it.
Shut up.
- You shut up.
- The two of you shut up.
You two should take this act on the road.
Oh, but you can't,
because where I come from,
using an innocent little
baby to steal a diamond watch
is what we like to call a felony.
Where did that come from?
We didn't put that in there.
Tell it to your parole officer, Sister.
Mom, why am I standing
here holding a black baby?
Um, okay.
You know, actually, Ben,
that is a very good question.
Are you sure that she's
not in there somewhere?
Mom! Where's Emma?
Well, obviously she's with Marcus.
Who should have no trouble
getting her to sleep.
We must have accidentally
switched the strollers.
I mean, it could happen to anyone.
I want my baby back. You call him.
Right right. I have his number
in my phone.
Oh see how smart you are?
Okay, uh, it's ringing.
(Cellphone rings)
Hello?
Marcus?
No, it's not Marcus.
Oh my God, Ben forgot his phone.
So so here's what we're gonna do.
I'll call down to the bar
and tell him that it's here
and he'll come rushing back up.
The minute he walks through the door,
we'll put Emma down and voila!
First steps taken.
Thank me very much.
Oh my God, Riley!
Oh, thank you. Thought I lost my phone.
- All right, see you guys.
- Wait!
Wait, um,
hey, Ben.
Don't you want to say hi
to your little girl?
Uh, okay.
Hi, Baby.
Can I go now?
- (Groans)
- I told you!
She had a limited number.
So you know what all this walking means?
*** shopping spree.
(Mouths)
And speaking of ***,
I'm gonna need some help
from this little cutie.
(Chuckles)
We've got a play date at the park
with a hot single mom.
Well, put a bonnet on a puppy.
Because there is no way that Emma
is leaving this apartment
until Ben sees her walk.
But this baby is a babe magnet.
And it's not like you all haven't done
the exact same thing.
(Rock music playing)
The point is,
I've only got one girl
in my life right now.
So please, just make
sure she stays as perfect
and healthy as she seems.
Mm.
Well, she's already got
one thing going for her.
She's got you.
Uh, what's this?
My phone number.
Give me a call sometime,
very single Ben.
The doctor will be right in.
Oh, yes!
I just got hit on by a hot baby nurse.
(Chuckles)
We make a good team.
Yes, we do.
Now shove these down your pants.
Oh, no no no, Honey.
I know you like Daddy's phone,
but the last time you baby-dialed someone,
- the police showed up.
- (Chuckles)
Look, you almost called Ava.
You almost called Ava.
Tucker?!
Tuck?
Okay, here's Daddy's phone.
Okay.
If you just hit right here, okay?
Right
Hold on, right here.
If you just okay.
Right here. No, Emma.
Focus, okay?
Just just right there.
(Cellphone beeps)
Yes!
(Line ringing)
- (Beeps)
- Ava: Hello?
(Mouths)
Ava: Ben? Is anybody there?
Hello?
(Phone beeps)
Oh, please please please
please please please please.
(Cellphone vibrates)
Ben: It seems we have a call.
(Chuckles)
Hello?
Ava?
(Giggles)
Oh, yeah. It's so nice of you to call.
You up for a little challenge?
I'm listening.
We each take a block.
Whoever lands the most numbers
gets the stroller the
whole rest of the day.
Game on. But I gotta warn you.
Tucker's in the zone.
Thanks for the heads up, Frunkle.
I'll take this block.
Wait wait wait wait.
You get the Yogurt Shop
and the Nail Salon?
Whoo! Is it ever hot out today.
Hey, hey
That is not fair.
Hey!
I want to renegotiate.
Okay, Emma.
Are you ready to be Grandma's wing-baby?
I have decided that today is the day
I'm finally gonna talk to the hottest guy
this side Hello!
There he is.
Now remember,
I get the one who's potty-trained.
Did you see that look?
Oh!
Why did I only shave up
to my knees this morning?
Now watch and learn, Emma.
First impressions are everything.
Excuse me, is this seat available?
Sure is.
Just like the woman sitting across from it.
Here here here. Just hold her.
you back the earring.
Come on. Come on.
There you go.
Yeah.
Aww.
She's awfully cute.
- (Spits)
- (Shrieks)
(Gasps, groans)
Ugh!
Here.
Your baby's broken.
Because right next to that is
a Korean foot massage place.
Oh my God. I love a good foot massage.
Oh, well then you should go there.
Or oh look, I have hands.
(Both laugh)
How could somebody so funny and sweet
end up with a roommate
that's such a wack-a-doodle?
(Chuckles)
Hey, let's be honest.
If I didn't take him in, then who would?
(Chuckles)
Well, you and your hands stay put.
I'm just gonna go check on Justin.
We will be right here.
(Chuckles)
(Bleats)
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Tucker?
Um
(Bleats)
Seriously, world's best wing-baby.
Wait, what are we gonna do
when she actually learns how to say no?
Like every other woman in your life?
Oh, yeah!
(Chuckles)
Besides, she's a wheeler.
She can be bought.
At least that's what your personal ad says.
Fine.
Fine, I will just get
a high five from Emma.
Emma? Where's Emma?
(Door closes)
Riley: Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
- No no no no!
(All muttering)
All: Emma? Emma?
I remember the first time Ben
locked himself in the bathroom.
Of course it was for a
very different reason.
It just makes me realize
all these milestones
are going by so fast.
- Huh?
- (Coos)
What do you think, Emma?
This is what we call a party.
Someday, you'll grow up
and trash Daddy's place, and the
circle of life will be complete.
I'm actually getting kind of
teary-eyed just thinking about it.
I need you to focus. This is
a critical birthday decision.
Traditional?
Tiara?
All: Aww.
Ben: Oh, no.
Or my personal favorite,
viking warrior Princess.
All: Warrior Princess.
Oh, and also, can we please vote
on whether or not we're getting a pony?
I still think we can
fit one in the elevator.
Well, I measured.
And we can totally fit
a pony in that elevator.
Yes!
I don't know which one you are,
but you're definitely the
cutest reindeer of them all.
When did I become one of those parents?
Probably two seconds after I
saw you in those little antlers.
I can't believe we have been
waiting almost three hours.
At this rate, they should
just pass out easter eggs
and call it a twofer.
I'm sorry, but who knew
so many people would want to see Santa
two days before Christmas?
Everyone.
Yeah, well, I just wish
I didn't wait until now
to get Emma's present.
Who knew they'd already be sold out?
Again, I'm gonna go with everyone.
Now what am I gonna do?
I have to get Emma that Giggorilla.
She loves that laughing ape.
She told me so with her smile.
Well, you do know there's a good chance
that smile was just gas, right?
You're next.
If anyone feels the need to spit up,
tear up, or hiccup,
I'd appreciate a heads-up.
Well, I'd appreciate a "hurry up."
Because I got a turkey I need to pick up.
Well, here's how it's gonna go down.
He "Ho-Ho" 's,
you tell him what you want,
we snap a picture,
and then if you'd like
to make another memory,
meet me in 20 minutes
in the Gingerbread House.
I might have to fold you in half,
but I think I can get it done.
Best offer I've had all week.
Okay, folks. Let's do this.
So, I'd like to call on
Emma's two amazing godfathers.
- Ready to go, dude.
- We're on it.
Her one incredible godmother.
That's me.
Her two one-of-a-kind
grandparents.
- Oh, we love you.
- Yes, we do.
We love you.
And hopefully a new step-granddad.
Hey, baby girl.
So, we're gathered here to make a promise.
That we will always watch over her,
and make sure that she's always loved
and happy and protected.
And that she knows that she's
never alone in this world.
We may be loud and crazy
and anything but a typical,
normal American family,
but we will always be there for you.
Danny?
Here we go.
Here you go.
Here we go, Emma.
Ohh.
All: Ohh!
Okay, Emma.
And just remember,
whenever you need a moral
or spiritual guide
You just come to me.
- What?
- No, she would come to me.
- I'm her grandmother.
- No no.
(Overlapping arguing)
We love you, Emma.
- Go!
- All right, here we go.
Hakuna Matata! "The Lion King."
Yes!
"Nobody puts Baby in the corner".
- "Dirty Dancing."
- Yes!
- Uh
- (Growling)
- (In Australian accent)
- A dingo ate my baby!
"A Cry in the Dark."
Yes! Five seconds!
Five seconds!
Hasta la vista, Baby.
"Terminator 2."
- Yes!
- What?!
That is time!
(Cries)
Come on, you have to eat.
I'm begging you.
Come on.
(Emma coos)
(Giggles)
What?
You like that?
Look what Daddy can do.
Huh?
I do this at work every day.
Huh?
You want some now?
You want some?
Here it comes.
Here it comes, baby.
(Chuckles)
Oh my God, you're eating.
Thank you so much.
Okay people, let's do this.
- Hi, Sweetie.
- Where's the cake?
Oh.
Was this for Emma?
Well, Baby,
maybe this isn't what you signed up for,
but you're stuck with us.
All: Happy Birthday, Emma.
It's him. Everybody act natural.
Okay, um
(All stammering)
Move it, move it, move it.
Oh, hey.
You guys are still here.
Way to be productive.
Hey, Ben.
I'm just making coffee.
And I'm cooking a meal.
And I'm leaning.
And I'm carting your baby around
because she doesn't know how to walk yet.
Oh, good. So I didn't miss anything?
Hey, Emma.
Don't you want to walk for Daddy?
Oh my God, Emma.
Did you guys just see that? Emma walked!
- That's amazing.
- Really?
I can't believe my little
girl's all grown up.
I know these are your first steps,
and they're gonna take you
out there in this world,
but just remember,
no matter where you go,
Daddy's always gonna be right here.
- (Pop music playing)
- Her name's Emma
Oh, I am head over heels
there's one dilemma
she doesn't know how I feel
I put her picture on my wall-ah-all
oh, she's my baby
she's my da-da-dol
her name's Emma
oh, and she acts like a star
June or December
I want to be where you are
what can I do to make her fall?
Tweeted my number, never call-alled
Emma, Emma
you're lonely no more.
