Kinda Pregnant

As a child, Lainy plays a significant role in a game where she pretends to be a mother giving birth. This imaginative play with her best friend Kate sets the stage for their deep friendship and foreshadows future themes of motherhood in their lives.

After growing up, Lainy and Kate both become teachers at the same school. Their experiences as educators bring them closer together, although they have very different personal lives.

One night, Lainy's boyfriend Dave surprises her by inviting her to dinner and suggesting a threesome. Shocked and upset, Lainy had been expecting a marriage proposal instead, leading to a significant strain in their relationship.

The day after the dinner, Lainy finds herself overwhelmed with emotions and stages a dramatic rebellion in her classroom. In a moment of frustration, she burns her students' books and sets off the fire alarm, drawing attention to her internal struggles.

During a lunch date with Kate, Lainy learns about her best friend's pregnancy. The news triggers a mix of emotions within Lainy as she grapples with her own uncertainties about motherhood and her life choices.

The following day at school, Lainy discovers that another younger teacher, Shirley, is also pregnant. This news only deepens Lainy's feelings of isolation as she continues to navigate her own complicated emotions.

Lainy and Kate visit a maternity clothing store where Lainy tries on a fake pregnancy belly. The experience makes her feel empowered and respected by others, leading her to embrace this ruse as a way to connect with the pregnant community.

Lainy is invited to dinner at Megan's house, where she meets Megan's husband Steve and her brother Josh. The evening takes a comedic turn when Lainy's fake pregnancy belly accidentally catches fire, resulting in an unexpected bonding moment between her and Megan.

Megan invites Lainy to join her at a therapeutic class for pregnant women. Determined to maintain her charade, Lainy uses creative props like a helium balloon to simulate her pregnancy, showing her commitment to her deception.

While babysitting Megan's son, Lainy shares a passionate kiss with Josh, leading to an intimate encounter in the garage. However, she remains anxious about revealing her fake pregnancy status, complicating her feelings for him.

Lainy confides in her co-worker Fallon about her intentions to 'get rid' of her nonexistent baby. She is overheard by Shirley, which leads to complications and misunderstandings with her friends.

Kate invites Lainy to her baby shower, believing it will be a joyful occasion. However, Lainy's ruse unravels when she uses a roast chicken to simulate her pregnancy, leading to an embarrassing revelation in front of their friends.

After the chaotic event, both Kate and Megan decide to reconcile with Lainy. This newfound understanding allows Lainy to express her genuine feelings for Josh and to start being honest with her friends.

When Dave visits Lainy, she initially deceives him by claiming she is having triplets. Eventually, she reveals the truth when she removes her fake pregnancy cushion, leading to a moment of clarity for both.

Lainy returns to teaching and is met with a surprise when her students point out a Zamboni outside. In a spontaneous moment, Josh professes his love for her while they cause chaos on the Zamboni, symbolizing Lainy's embrace of love and freedom.
