Expecting (film)

Expecting is a 2013 American comedy film written and directed by Jessie McCormack. The film stars Michelle Monaghan, Radha Mitchell, Jon Dore, Michael Weston and Mimi Kennedy. The film was released on December 6, 2013, by Tribeca Film.

Andie calls her friend of many years very late one evening, and Lizzie's husband Peter finds her having breakfast in the morning. At their couples therapy session with Doctor Grayson, Peter complains that Andie knew that Leslie was planning a fourth IVF treatment before he did. She tells them they've made no progress and bore her.

Peter, a real estate agent, is frustrated by one particular wealthy, potential client who never is interested in the houses he shows him and always has someone different with him. Lizzie, on the other hand, is content with the one high school student she tutors.

Andie, who has inadvertently discovered she got pregnant after a recent one-night-stand, cannot go through with an abortion, so offers Lizzie and Peter the baby. He thinks it's a crazy idea. However, after her birthday, she stays over, Lizzie has Peter hear the heartbeat and he seems to agree to adopt Andie's baby.

Andie moves in, as she's all alone, but Peter isn't too happy about it. Right after she and Lizzie go for the first sonogram, Peter takes his brother Casey home from his fourth stint in rehab. As they are having a bbq in the backyard, he asks about the baby project. Since Peter has suggested the women not tell him yet, he tries to change the subject.

Casey suggests adoption, saying they shouldn't fear it as all adopted babies don't becomes addicts like him. Peter convinces Lizzie to let him stay, as the clinic suggests initially patients shouldn't be left alone. He then tries to take him out, but Casey feels like he's being constantly watched and claustrophobic.

As Peter still has not sold a property for awhile, tells Lizzie he can't pay the mortgage payment. Andie offers to borrow it from her dad. Initially refusing, Peter doesn't find another solution so begrudgingly accepts.

Lizzie and Peter go away to Palm Springs for the weekend. Initially wary of Casey, they get to know each other playing ping-pong etc. Just as the couple returns, they walk in on Andie and Casey fooling around. They freak out, Andie comments they perhaps would not be such good parents for her baby, so Casey finally finds out about her pregnancy.
