By Jon Griffin

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:

When a couple makes the announcement that they are having another child, their eldest son, a jealous teenager must figure out a way to prevent the blessed event from becoming reality before his parents' attention that was once given to him shifts to the newborn. 

SYNOPSIS:

It is a wonderful day in the Martin household, but Chris Martin, a young teenager is not too happy. He tells the viewers that eight months ago, his parents have told him that they were going to have a baby and he was going to be a brother (via flashback), but Chris tells the viewers that he is going to receive the amount of attention he was used to getting and he tries to come up with some ways to stop the blessed event from becoming a reality. In dream sequences, Chris is the leader of a club for teens who are unhappy about their parents having a second child and Chris takes his parents to court and Marilyn Milian, the judge on the television show "The People's Court", hears the case.

At this point, Chris feels a little bit happy, but it is short-lived when he finds out that his mother is in labor. In the waiting room in the hospital, Chris waits, and then, his dad comes in and tells his son to follow him to the window of the nursery in the hall. Chris does this and when they get there, the nurse inside shows the newborn baby to the father and son. Chris's dad tells his son that he is the big brother to a little girl.

Then, the father and son go into the hospital room where Chris's mother is resting. Feeling a little guilty, Chris tells his parents how he was feeling earlier and how their attention will go toward the baby and how that will affect their love for him, but his parents reassure their eldest son that they will love him and the baby equally. Chris grins and he tells his parents that he understands and he and his parents are happy.
