Kelly Hankins is introduced as a popular high school student and the team's star pitcher who has a seemingly happy relationship with Lisa Weld. They keep their romance private from Lisa's strict father, Reverend Weld. The setup establishes the social and personal pressures Kelly will face as the story unfolds.

Lisa confesses to Kelly that she is pregnant, creating a crisis that threatens his future and social standing. Kelly grapples with the shock and the potential fallout of such a secret. The revelation begins to fracture the private world they had built together.

Kelly learns from Uncle Theus that he allegedly transferred an embryo into a monkey’s abdomen and urges Kelly to try the same procedure on himself. The proposal is morally fraught and shrouded in mystery. Kelly is drawn into a dangerous plan that promises a way out of an impossible situation.

The procedure seems to succeed, and Kelly becomes pregnant. The sense of relief is tempered by questions about ethics and the risks involved. Kelly processes a mix of hope and fear as the reality of pregnancy settles in.

Over the following months, Kelly experiences typical pregnancy symptoms while trying to hide what’s happening from friends and family. Ditto offers quiet support, staying by him as the world grows more suspicious. The secret begins to take a toll on Kelly’s daily life and identity.

As the due date nears, the town starts noticing something off about Kelly’s behavior. Candy begins openly flirting with him, adding tension to his already complicated social life. The mounting scrutiny strains Kelly’s few remaining supports.

Lisa’s confidence in Kelly wavers under the mounting scrutiny, and she ultimately ends their relationship. She cannot bear the way others mock and scrutinize him. The breakup compounds Kelly’s sense of isolation and pressure.

Milton grows convinced that something is seriously wrong with Kelly and brings his concerns to Principal Miller. The idea of a pregnant boy challenges their beliefs, creating a clash between curiosity, fear, and support. The school becomes a focal point for the controversy.

Lisa reaches out to Kelly and begs for reconciliation, but only on the condition that the baby be transferred back to her. This demand tests Kelly’s willingness to keep the relationship alive and to what extent he will sacrifice his new life. The negotiation injects emotional stakes into their fragile dynamic.

At the prom, Milton’s revelations about the pregnancy expose Kelly to public humiliation. Reverend Weld attempts to demonize Kelly, but Uncle Theus stands before the congregation, arguing that Kelly’s pregnancy is a life worth understanding. The night becomes a turning point for how the town views him.

As graduation approaches, Kelly finds quiet support from his family, especially his father, who offers steady encouragement. The idea of moving forward begins to gain some momentum despite previous judgments. The family’s backing gives Kelly a sense of resilience.

Graduation day arrives, and Kelly unexpectedly faints and goes into labor on stage. He is rushed to the hospital, where his condition becomes a source of awe and relief for those present. The moment reframes the event from spectacle to miracle.

Kelly awakens to Lisa watching over him, and he learns he has given birth to twins—a boy and a girl. Lisa apologizes for her earlier actions, and they express a desire to raise the twins together. The town shifts from judgment to support as a new family begins.
