Gil: Mr. Grouper, you guys, Molly's gonna be a big sister, to a baby!
Deema and Oona: (squealing): A baby...?!
Molly: Uh-huh! My mommy's going to have a baby!
Deema and Oona: A baby...!
Gil: Uh oh!
Mia: (crying)
Molly: Shh, shh, shh. You're all right, Mia.
Deema: What's wrong, Oona?
Oona: (worried): I hope we get to see the baby before she's all grown-up.
Nonny: Babies take a long time to grow as big as us.
Gil: Yeah! Babies need lots of food and sleep and--
Oona: (smiles): Lots of love.
Mr. Grouper: That's right. The new baby will grow up in a loving home and have everything a baby needs.
Goby: Yeah! The baby can eat food in the kitchen.
Nonny: And go to sleep in a bedroom.
Oona: (hugging Nonny): And snuggle in the living room.
Deema: Ahh... there's no place like home.
Gil: Let's sing about it!
Doctor Snail: I think your friends are just in time.
Deema: Just in time for what?
Doctor Snail: Well, while Molly's mommy rests, I was taking big sister here to meet the baby!
Goby: Can we come?
Deema: I wanna see the baby!
Doctor Snail: Is that okay with you, big sister?
Molly: Mmm-hmm. Do you wanna come see the new baby? Great, come on! (almost bumps into shark) Oops. Excuse me.
Shark: Heh, excuse me.
Oona: Awwwww.... Look at all the babies.
Goby: They're so cute.
Gil: Which one is it, Molly?
Molly: Hmm. Um, I'm not sure.
Deema: What's her name?
Molly: Her name... [baby giggling] ... is Mia.
Deema and Oona: Mia...
Gil: Hi, there, Mia. [Mia giggling]
Mr. Grouper: What a pretty name. "Mia". (Mia giggling) Molly and Mia.
Molly: Mia.
Mia: (giggles)
Molly: That's right. I'm your big sister, I'm Molly.
Mia: (making baby noises, giggling)
Mr. Grouper: I think she loves the sound of your voice, Molly.
Ms. Peekytoe: Oh, that's wonderful news, sweetie.
Molly: I can't wait.
Gil: Hi, Molly. Hi, Ms. Peekytoe.
Molly: Hi, Gilly.
Ms. Peekytoe: Good morning, dear. You must be so excited for Molly.
Gil: About what?
Molly: I'm going to be a big sister!
Gil: (smirking): Cool. (shocked): Wait! You are?! (excited, swimming in circles): You're going to be a big sister. That's so cool. I wonder if it's going to be a boy or a Gil -- I mean, a girl and it's gonna have brown eyes or pinkish hair like you or maybe blue hair like me. Molly's going to be a big sister! Maybe the baby will like to sing and--oof! (bumps into Bubble Puppy)
Mrs. Peekytoe: (chuckling) I think Gil is just as excited as you are!
Molly: (giggling)
Goby: Is it a girl or a boy baby?
Molly: I don't know. It's a surprise!
Mr. Grouper: Oh, congratulations, Molly! That's really exciting.
Deema: Can you bring it in tomorrow so we can play with it?
Mr. Grouper: Well, Deema, it'll take a little while before the baby's big enough to play.
Molly: Yeah, my mommy said that when babies are brand new, they can only do a few thir. Grouper: ngs.
Gil: Like what?
Mr. Grouper: Let's think about it. What can brand new babies do?
Oona: This is my baby kitty. Meow. Come on! Meow meow! Here's some milk to drink, kitty.
Mr. Grouper: What a cute kitten, Oona. Does she have a name?
Oona: Mm-hmm. Marie.
Mr. Grouper: That's a nice name.
Gil: Hey, Molly, what are they gonna name the baby?
Molly: Hmm... I don't know yet
Deema: I had a turtle named Beyonda. But I don't know if she was ever a baby, because when I got her, she was already big.
Mr. Grouper: Well, every animal starts out as a baby. And sometimes we call baby animals something different than the grown-up animals.
Oona: Like we call baby cats kittens.
Mr. Grouper: Yup.
Goby: And baby frogs are called tadpoles.
Nonny: And baby oysters are called spats. (The Guppies and Mr. Grouper give shocked expressions)
Mr. Grouper: Huh. I didn't know that.
Guppies: (all laughing)
Deema: Let's sing about baby animals.
Deema: I'm teaching the babies how to do stuff. Come on!
Guppies: (all talking like babies)
Deema: Okay, babies. Are you ready to learn stuff?
Gil: Goo-goo-ga-ga! Ga-ga!
Guppies: (giggling)
Deema: This is a toothbrush. You use it to brush your teeth.
Goby: Hey, wait a minute! We're babies! We don't have teeth yet.
Deema: I forgot about that.
Guppies: (all laughing)
Mr. Grouper: Okay, guys. What story do you wanna hear?
Gil: Can you make one up?
Mr. Grouper: Okay, let's see... what should the story be about?
Goby: Oh, I know! How about a baby?
Gil: Yeah, a baby!
Mr. Grouper: Oh, well, maybe you guys should tell the story!
Gil and Goby: Okay!
Goby: How do we start?
Gil: How about with: "Once upon a time".
Goby: Oh yeah. Once upon a time... there was... a baby.
Gil: Yeah. And the baby wanted... something soft to snuggle with.
Goby: So he tried to snuggle with... a dump truck!
Oona and Nonny: (give confused expressions)
Goby: But... it was too hard!
Guppies: (all laughing)
Gil: (giggles): Yeah! So then he tried to snuggle with... a box of crayons, but it was too messy!
Goby: But then, his big brother gave him his nice, soft blanket, and it...
Gil and Goby: ...was just right.
Guppies: (all cheering)
Mr. Grouper: What a happy ending!
