Four years after the first film, Annie announces she is pregnant, leading to George's anxiety about his age. After selling their home due to termites, George and Nina stay with Bryan's parents but discover Nina is also pregnant. They meet their former wedding planner, Franck, who helps coordinate their plans. George becomes upset when he sees a demolition crew at their old house and manages to buy it back from Mr. Habib. Annie is offered a job in Boston, which Bryan eventually agrees to. George hires Franck to create a 'baby's suite' for the new arrivals. During the final weeks, Bryan is called away to Japan, leaving Annie in George and Nina's care. Franck's extensive renovations and the stress of sleep deprivation lead George to accidentally overdose on sleeping pills.
