her career before her personal life. Now in her late thirties, she has finally decided to have a child on her own, but her plans change when she discovers she has only the slimmest chance of becoming pregnant because she finds out her uterus is T-shaped. Also denied the chance to adopt, Kate hires an immature, obnoxious South Philly girl named Angie Ostrowiski (Amy Poehler) to become her surrogate mom. When Angie becomes pregnant, Kate begins preparing for motherhood in her own typically driven fashion—until her surrogate shows up at her door with no place to live. Their conflicting personalities put them at odds as Kate learns first-hand about balancing motherhood and career by catering to Angie's childish needs. As if this weren't enough Kate also begins dating the local owner of a blended juice cafe, Rob (Greg Kinnear). What Kate does not know is that Angie is feigning the pregnancy and that in fact the in-vitro fertilization did not succeed. Hoping to ultimately run off with her payment, Angie begins to regret the lie but continually puts off confessing until getting an ultrasound wherein she discovers she is actually pregnant. Realizing the baby is her own (and her husband from whom she is separated -- Angie explains she was so distraught after her pregnancy test was negative that she ended up having sex with her then-husband), Angie is forced to confess at Kate's baby shower. While Kate explains to Angie that the pregnancy test was supposed to be taken two weeks after the procedure, and that the baby could still in fact belong to her, this drives a wedge between the two women. At the court hearing to definitively determine the maternity of the child, Angie makes an impassioned apology. The baby turns out to be Angie's. Meeting face to face after the proceedings, Angie's water breaks and Kate rushes her to the hospital. During Angie's delivery, Kate passes out. Upon waking, the doctor supervising Angie's pregnancy tells Kate that she's pregnant, the result of her relationship with her new boyfriend. After receiving the news, she goes to visit Angie, who is holding her new baby girl Stefani, named for Gwen Stefani, aka Stef. Kate forgives Angie and the two become great friends. Angie and Kate raise their children and are friends one year later at Stefani's first birthday party. It is revealed that Kate and Angie are best friends, and that Kate and Rob are very proud parents of a baby girl. Although he does not get back together with Angie, Carl stays close to his daughter and begins taking parenting classes.
