Plot
At her house while eating spaghetti, Angelica asks her parents where babies come from. Drew and Charlotte excuse themselves from the table, not knowing what to tell her. They agree to tell her the truth because that's what they decided a long time ago, then get back to the table. Both parents have a conversation with Angelica, saying that it starts with a mommy and a daddy, and Drew says that babies come from eggs. Charlotte regards Drew for making it sound complicated, then goes on, but gets at a loss for words. Drew suddenly blurts out that both parents call the stork which delivers an egg. Angelica now believes that babies come from stork eggs.
The next day, which happens to be Ultra Bowl Sunday, at Tommy's house, Angelica tells the babies what her parents told her (the stork delivers an egg to a mommy and daddy who take care of the egg until it hatches into a baby). The babies are unable to believe the story, but Chuckie's preconception on seeing if it's true convince them to go into the backyard. Meanwhile, Lou, Didi, Charlotte, Betty and Howard are busy watching the game, while Stu and Drew begin prepare an omelette for the occasion. Drew asks Stu if he bought enough eggs for the occasion. Stu says he ordered one "gross" of eggs to be sure. Drew explains to Stu that a "gross" is 144 eggs, which is way too many eggs!
In the backyard, the babies retrieve an egg from a bird's nest, thinking it's a stork's basket. The babies decide to call the baby in the egg "Milton." The babies make a nest for the egg inside, but Angelica takes the egg away after the babies tell her about the egg. Chuckie threatens to take Cynthia away from Angelica if she doesn't return the egg to them. Tommy has an idea: give the items to their respective owners through the use of the twins. Chuckie hands Cynthia over to Lil, who then hands her to Angelica. Angelica hands the egg over to Phil, who tries to hand it to Chuckie. Angelica reclaims the egg as soon as Phil hands the egg to Chuckie.
Back in the kitchen, Stu and Drew continue to prepare the omelet for everybody. Stu wants to put a particular kind of olive into the omelet, and Drew again exclaims that those types of olives are still pitted.
After the egg gets thrown onto the floor without getting cracked, and getting taken by Spike, it goes into the hands of Stu, who gets ready to crack the 144 eggs ordered from the grocery store. Tommy tries to get the egg back, but Stu unknowingly takes the egg and attempts to crack it. After the other babies distract the dads from the egg-cracking job, Tommy reclaims the egg. The brothers put the babies back into the playpen and tell them to wait a little longer for snack time, thinking that they came into the kitchen looking for something to eat.
The egg hatches, and Milton the bird is born. After hearing Milton's first chirps, Didi comes into the room and puts Milton back into his nest where he belongs. Initially, the kids think that Tommy's parents didn't want a baby right now, but then they finally realize that Milton's a bird and not a human. Angelica, disappointed by this, asks where human babies come from. Susie, who had just come over with her family for occasion, whispers into her ear on where baby people really come from--but Angelica doesn't believe her.
As the episode ends, Milton's parents fly to the nest and share a kiss next to their little chick while a couple of bees buzz by.
