Plot

Marge and Homer are worrying that Marge may be pregnant again. After a home pregnancy test Marge gives inconclusive results, Marge drives to Dr. Hibbert's office. Homer begins to tell Bart, Lisa, and Maggie about how he and Marge got married, and Bart's birth thereafter.

In 1980, Homer was working at a miniature golf course and dating Marge. One night, Homer and Marge make love inside of a golf course castle after seeing The Empire Strikes Back. Shortly afterwards, Marge discovers that she is pregnant. Homer decides to propose to Marge, and she eagerly accepts. The two marry in a small wedding chapel across state lines, while Marge is visibly pregnant. The two spend their "wedding night" at Marge's parents' house, sleeping on a couch in the living room. Needless to say, this aggravates Marge's mother and sisters extremely.

Unfortunately for Homer and Marge, Homer's wages are not enough to pay for his new family. Homer attempts to get a job at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, but fails. With Homer and Marge's newly purchased baby supplies and Marge's wedding ring are repossessed, Homer decides to leave and find a job, in order to provide for Marge and his unborn son, leaving a letter to a sleeping Marge explaining his actions. Marge is brought to tears by Homer's absence. However, even in sorrow, Homer still winds up irritating Patty, who complains for Homer to "not scratch the pen so loud".

Homer gets a job at a "Gulp 'N Blow" taco restaurant, where Patty and Selma find him. Selma, feeling sorry for Marge and some pity for Homer, decides to tell Marge the truth in spite of Patty's reluctance. Marge, now well into her third trimester of pregnancy, finds Homer and convinces him to come back home with her. Homer decides to try to apply for a job at the Nuclear Power Plant once more, this time marching into Mr. Burns' office and telling him dramatically that he will be the perfect spineless employee. Mr. Burns is so impressed that he hires Homer on the spot. Homer, glad that he has this well-paying job, is able to now buy back the repossessed wedding ring and baby items.

When Homer returns to Marge's house, he discovers she has gone into labor and is already at the hospital. He arrives at the hospital with Marge's mother, telling Marge of his success. After the baby is born, Homer and Marge decide to name him Bart. Bart takes Homer's cigarette lighter and lights his tie on fire. Homer quickly dips the tie into a glass of water, gets mad at Bart ("Why you little--!!") and tells Marge that he did it on purpose, but Marge tells Homer that Bart is only ten minutes old.
