15. A Maybe Baby For Bridget And Mark

Despite the better judgment of most women,  Bridget continually thinks that Mark is going to propose to her after having only dated each other for two months. So when Mark says he has to ask her a question and he wasn’t sure how to phrase it, she immediately assumes marriage. Instead, he asks her to go away with him for the weekend.

While there, Mark has some questionable moments but it’s his sheer joy at the possibility of having a baby with Bridget that makes it all worthwhile. She realizes on the trip that she has not had her period since starting to date Mark so she goes to a drug store to get a test.

Mark comes back to discover her waiting for the results and he has this look of utter bliss at the prospect. That is before they start prematurely fighting about what schools their make believe child would go to and it taints their entire weekend.

It’s a weird fueling to their break up (or their extended break before their back together again) and it was a failed attempt at making Mark unappealing. In fact, it only furthers to better his case because he lets her chose what’s best for her (even if Bridget called him out for not fighting for her).
