Plot:
At the urging of Peter and Lois, Chris and Meg are tasked with taking Stewie to a friend's birthday party at the bowling alley, with Peter and the guys doing their own bowling on the side. After the party, Meg offers to stay behind and help Bruce clean up, during which he laments the fact that he wants to have a kid. Knowing there aren't many suitors lined up for her, Meg offers to be Bruce and Jeffery's surrogate, much to the disapproval of her parents. Meg goes through with the implantation and proceeds to carry the pregnancy, but her constant mood swings and other needs get on her family's nerves. Meg eventually gives birth to a daughter named Liza one montage later, but following some hesitation from Bruce and Jeffery, she offers to raise her for a bit while they finish getting their home ready.
While Peter is enthralled by the new arrival, Lois is concerned when Liza's dads don't show up as promised, despite loving the idea of becoming a GILF. Meg, meanwhile, grows to love having Liza around, feeling that motherhood gives her life purpose. When Bruce and Jeffery eventually show up to visit their daughter, Lois calls them out on their seeming negligence, before Bruce reveals that it was due to Meg constantly telling them to delay picking her up, not wanting to part with the first living thing that needs her. However, Liza's first words indicate a desire to be with her dads, giving them all the incentive they need to take her in.
