When Sammie requires an amniocentesis test (involving an enormous needle extracting fluid from Sammie’s mid-section) Matt makes the questionable decision that it’s his husbandly duty to attend the delicate procedure. And despite Sammie begging him not to come, it isn’t long before that questionable decision would turn into unspeakable mayhem.
