As the impulsive secretary to the insufferably arrogant publisher Jerry Steinwald, her job hangs by a thread.

Orphaned by a tragic car accident, Thea is the sole guardian of her younger sister, Emma. The threat of losing her job is not just about her livelihood, but Emma's as well. Hence, she decides to breathe life into her lie, maintaining the pretense of her pregnancy with the aid of her loyal friend, Lisa. As Jerry retreats on holiday, his brother Nick steps into his shoes, adding another layer to Thea's escalating deception. Her clever ruse yields unexpected benefits as she is showered with special treatment by those around her. However, maintaining this intricate web of lies for a full nine months proves to be a task that pushes Thea to her limits. The plot of 'Labor Pains' unfolds with humor and heart, as Thea navigates the challenges of her deceitful predicament, all the while highlighting the lengths one would go to protect those they love and the life they have built.
