Alison Scott, a driven reporter in Los Angeles, receives a promotion to an on-air role at E!. This achievement marks the beginning of a new chapter in her career, reflecting her ambition and determination in a competitive industry.

During her promotion celebration at a local nightclub, Alison meets Ben Stone, a carefree slacker with an unconventional job. Their chemistry leads to a night of heavy drinking and a spontaneous one-night stand, setting the stage for unexpected developments.

The following morning, Alison and Ben share an awkward breakfast, realizing they have little in common. This uncomfortable encounter leads them to part ways, seemingly closing the chapter on their brief relationship.

Eight weeks later, Alison begins to experience morning sickness while interviewing actor James Franco. This prompts her to take multiple pregnancy tests, ultimately confirming her worst fears: she is pregnant after her encounter with Ben.

Alison contacts Ben to deliver the news of her pregnancy, leading to a surprised and brash reaction from him. Despite initial uncertainty, Ben expresses his willingness to support her, although doubts linger regarding his readiness for fatherhood.

Faced with her mother's pressure to consider abortion, Alison ultimately decides to keep the baby. This decision solidifies her resolve to take responsibility for her life and the new life she is bringing into the world.

As time passes, Alison and Ben begin to explore their relationship amidst the upcoming arrival of their baby. Ben awkwardly proposes using an empty ring box, promising a real ring later, but Alison feels overwhelmed by the sudden commitment.

Alison starts to have doubts about Ben's commitment, exacerbated by observing her sister Debbie's troubled marriage. This leads her to reflect on the kind of partnership she truly wants as she prepares for motherhood.

After a chaotic road trip to Las Vegas with Pete, Ben has a psychedelic epiphany about the importance of rekindling his relationship with Alison. This realization prompts him to pursue a fresh start with her despite their troubles.

Meanwhile, Alison and Debbie attempt a night out, only to be thwarted by nightclub age restrictions. Amidst the disappointment, Debbie expresses her longing for her husband, prompting a poignant reconciliation during a birthday party.

Alison's boss seizes the opportunity of her pregnancy for publicity, causing tension between her personal and professional life. This conflict adds to Alison's stress as she navigates impending motherhood.

When Alison unexpectedly goes into labor, she calls Ben, who faces his own chaos upon discovering that her gynecologist is attending a Bar Mitzvah. This situation heightens the urgency, leading to frustration and panic.

During labor, Alison expresses regret for doubting Ben’s commitment to her. As he insists on supporting her through these intense moments, their bond begins to strengthen amidst the chaos.

Finally, Alison and Ben welcome their baby girl into the world, marking a significant milestone that brings hope and joy into their lives. With this new beginning, they face the challenges of parenthood together.
