Delicious: Emily's Miracle of Life/Pushing Too Hard

This is the fourth chapter of Delicious: Emily’s Miracle of Life.

## Level 31 - Relax! Harder!

*The spa is supposed to be a relaxing paradise, so… why is everyone so tense?*

* Emily enters the spa to meet Mary-Lynn.
* Mary-Lynn: Oh my gosh! Are you Emily? From Emily's Practice Makes Perfect?
* Emily: That's me!
* Emily: Actually, it was one of my viewers who recommended you to me.
* Mary-Lynn feels Emily's pregnant belly.
* Mary-Lynn laughs,
* Mary-Lynn: Wow, you're really far along, aren't you?
* Mary-Lynn: We're a prenatal yoga studio... You're in good hands.
* Mary-Lynn: Besides, I'm jealous. My husband and I have been trying for a while, now.
* Mary-Lynn: So, you ready to get relaxed?
* Emily's ready,
* Mary-Lynn: It's CRUCIAL for your unborn child, you know.
* Mary-Lynn lead Emily to the mat.
* Mary-Lynn: Okay then - extended triangle pose, let's go! Chop chop!
* Mary-Lynn poses first, then Emily's scared, so she poses.

### After the level

* The Yoga group pose.
* Mary-Lynn: Ladies! I want you to bring your partners next time!
* The ladies go to Emily.
* Mary-Lynn: It's CRITICAL for them to be present during this important stage of emotional bonding with your child.
* Andy enters the spa.
* Mary-Lynn: Hey, sweetie! Did you make that appointment with the new fertility doctor?
* Andy: Oh! Er... uh, sorry - I forgot.
* Mary-Lynn: Andy - that's the THIRD day in a row you didn't call.
* Mary-Lynn: I told you how hard it is to get an appointment with her.
* Andy: I'll do it tomorrow, I promise.
* Mary-Lynn: Please, this is important.
* Andy: I said I'll do it tomorrow, okay?
* Mary-Lynn: Okay. I'm sorry for nagging. It's just -
* Mary-Lynn: It's exciting, you know? Fresh start - new doctor.
* Andy: Yeah...
* In the bedroom at Emily's Place...
* Emily walks to Patrick.
* Emily: Sweetheart, the instructor at my prenatal yoga class wanted us to bring our husbands tomorrow,
* Patrick surprised.
* Emily: She says it's critical that you're present during this ‘important stage of emotional bonding'.
* Patrick: Gee, uh... that sounds really awesome and all but um... I... er-
* Patrick: I'm right in the middle of an important man cave project - if I put it off, it won't come out right.
* Patrick continues reading. Emily's sad.
* Patrick: Why don't you bring Francois?
* Emily: Well, she seemed to think it was really important that YOU were there.
* Patrick reads the newspaper.
* Patrick: Nonsense! I'm sure he'll do great.

## Level 32 - Sympathy Fathers

*It’s CRUCIAL that fathers are present today! Help them through the exercises when they request your attention.*

* During Emily's live...
* Emily: So, until next time - keep living the delicious life!
* Emily finishes the live vlog.
* Evelyn enters the workshop.
* Evelyn: Emily! I've been doing some research!
* Evelyn: Now, I know you're not thrilled with the names I found on EDWARD'S side of the family tree...
* Evelyn: You know...
* Evelyn: Elena?
* Emily goes to the counter.
* Evelyn: ...Elisabetta?
* Emily cleans the table.
* Evelyn: ...Emilia!
* Emily: Er... Yeah, Mom - they're nice names. It's just - with our last name being O'Malley and all...
* Evelyn: EXACTLY why I've been looking at names from MY side of the family.
* Evelyn: What about, 'Ernestine'?
* Emily: Er... Sorry, Mom - I gotta run to my yoga class.
* Emily runs to the yoga.
* Evelyn: Enid?
* Evelyn: Esther?
* Evelyn: Edna?
* Evelyn: Back to the drawing board, I suppose.
* In the Yoga...
* Mary-Lynn: Emily! I was helping Francois here with his sympathy bump!
* Francois has a sympathy bump!
* Francois: I don't see what all the fuss is about. This pregnancy thing is a breeze!
* Francois walks around, then he slips and falls into the water!
* Emily goes to see Francois. He pouts!
* Francois: Oops...
* Emily and Mary-Lynn laugh. Mary-Lynn goes to fans
* Mary-Lynn: Come on guys! Let's start the session!

### During the level

* Mary-Lynn helps the partners and customers with their exercises!

### After the level

* Yoga women are posing.
* Mary-Lynn: Fathers!
* Mary-Lynn: I like to end each class with you kissing the pregnancy belly of your wife...
* Mary-Lynn: ...so your child can REALLY feel that blissed-out vibe!
* They're anxious.
* Emily: Uh, Er... uh... Francois here is a friend.
* Emily: Patrick couldn't make it.
* Britney (Fan 1): Same with me. It was Karl's bowling night.
* Stacey (Fan 2): I brought my barista.
* The fans leave.
* Mary-Lynn: Wow... I was like, REALLY hoping we'd get some dads in here.
* Emily: To be honest, Patrick was less than enthused.
* Mary-Lynn: Sometimes guys just need a little nudge!
* Mary-Lynn: Take my Andy, for example. He's still young, right?
* Mary-Lynn: He was REALLY shaky on trying for a kid, until I told him how much it would cement our relationship.
* Emily: Well... it IS a big decision. Don't you think he ought to come on it on his own?
* Mary-Lynn: Please! I'm already twenty-nine.
* Mary-Lynn: If I waited for him to grow op on his own, I'd never have kids.

## Level 33 - An Oasis of Overwork

*Why can’t Mary-Lynn work at the spa anymore? How will this affect Emily?*

* Emily: We had class today, right?
* Britney: I thought so.
* Mary-Lynn enters the spa.
* Mary-Lynn: Sorry I'm late, everyone!
* Mary-Lynn: You see- my FIRST pre-natal visit ran a little long.

* They're exercising.
* Mary-Lynn: Hey, fam - I have an announcement.
* The fans all go to Mary-Lynn.
* Mary-Lynn: I'm afraid I can't be your teacher anymore.
* Emily: That's shame - what happened?
* Mary-Lynn: My work schedule has been non-stop since forever...
* Mary-Lynn: ...and I- er, I mean WE, have been trying for SO long to get pregnant...
* Mary-Lynn: ...well, I just want everything to be perfect.
* Emily: If there's anything I can do for you...
* Mary-Lynn: Actually, I was hoping you'd say that!
* Mary-Lynn and Emily step off the exercise area.
* Mary-Lynn: ...I was wondering if you could lead things in my absence?
* Mary-Lynn: You have been SUCH an inspiration to me and the rest of the class...
* Mary-Lynn: JUST until I can find a replacement - I promise!
* Emily: You can count on me.

## Level 34 - Wellness Guided Tour

*Having managed all sorts of businesses around the world… how difficult could it be for Emily to serve at a spa?*

* Mary-Lynn guides Emily to the juicer.
* Mary-Lynn: Some customers like to order juice. Here's a squeezer. Make sure to prepare enough of them.
* Emily: Okay...
* Mary-Lynn tours Emily to the tea.
* Mary-Lynn: If you run out of tea leaves, call the Snuggford Herbarium.
* Mary-Lynn: If you run out of ROSE PETALS though, you have to call Snuggford Floral.
* Emily: Got it.
* Mary-Lynn follows Emily to the towels.
* Mary-Lynn: Make sure the towels don't get too cold, and the water doesn't get too hot.
* And Mary-Lynn guides Emily to the tables.
* Mary-Lynn: And watch for clashing energies! You don't want customers with opposite auras in the hot springs area at the same time.
* Emily: Er... what?
* Mary-Lynn: So! Any questions?
* Emily: It's only for a few days - how much harder can it be than running a restaurant?
* A yoga fan (Britney) enters the spa.
* Britney: Please, help! My chakras are out of balance!

### After the level; Cutscene: Kitchen Fire

* Inside Emily's vlog at the O'Malley Workshop...
* Emily: Okay, everyone - due to popular demand, I've brought my grandpa Vito on the show.
* They act on the camera.
* Emily laughs.
* Emily: Er... uh, no Myrma654, my grandfather isn't at the Snuggford senior center much.
* Vito turns on the stove while Emily gets a bowl.
* Emily: Last week, I gave you the ingredients for my special butterscotch ginger cookies...
* Emiily: Remember, if you want to see store-bought butterscotch pudding, that's TOTALLY okay!
* Emily: Just combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, some cloves and salt...
* Emily: Then mix in your eggs, butter-
* The oven stove is on fire!
* Emily: Hold on, Vito went to get a finished match out of the oven...
* Emily rushes to turn off the oven!
* Emily: Grandpa!
* Emily: Grandpa, you were supposed to take the cookies out of the oven.
* Vito: I'm so sorry, dear... I- I must be tired... I didn't sleep very well.
* Emily: It's okay, Grandpa.... it's okay.

* Emily: So far so good, Mary-Lynn. I think I have it under control.
* Mary-Lynn: Are you sure? I could hang around.
* Emily: Don't worry - everything's in good hands. Go home and enjoy getting ready for the baby.
* Mary-Lynn's down for a fight.
* Emily: Mary-Lynn? What's wrong?
* Mary-Lynn: Andy and I had a fight...
* Mary-Lynn: He ended up leaving.
* Mary-Lynn wipes her tears.
* Mary-Lynn: It's nothing, honest! He'll blow off some steam and come home soon, he always does.
* Emily: Being pregnant is a blessing, but it can also be stressful.
* Mary-Lynn: Oh, no! He's REALLY excited about having a baby, honest!
* Mary-Lynn: In fact, he's probably back already, finishing up the baby room.
* Mary-Lynn: As a matter of fact, I'd better get back myself!

* Evelyn: Now, we know you're not craze about some of the family names we've found...

* Mary-Lynn: He wanted to meet me here.
* Britney: Er... so he stopped by your place while you were gone?

* Mary-Lynn: Didn't you hear me? Andy will be here ANY minute.
* Emily: Of course... I'll just leave you to lock up, then.

* The family enter the workshop.
* Evelyn: But Brigid - 'Proinsias' is a boy's name!
