Their surrogate is ready to pop and their life as care-free New Yorkers is nearly over.

So as a last hurrah, and to get their relationship back on track before the baby arrives, the soon-to-be-daddies embark on a road trip across America to pick up their bundle of joy.

After all, what’s a road trip without a few bumps along the way?
