Sharlene always wanted a baby, but her spoiled husband only wants a child to secure his position in his wealthy uncle's will. A mix-up at the fertility clinic reveals his hypocrisy, prompting a pregnant Sharlene to strike out on her own. She's determined her child will enjoy the happy home growing up she was denied.

Single Sharlene "runs into" Zack on a busy street and falls for him—as he does for her. She takes the struggling student/small business owner Zack up on his offer to rent an apartment in his building. They become close neighbors, but good manners keep them at arm's length for longer than necessary. Even their best friends cheer them on!

Sharlene wonders could Zack ever love a child that isn't his? Zack wonders will he ever find enough courage to tell Sharlene he's the biological father of her child before she goes into labor?
