Dr. David Kalenberger is the head of a fertility clinic in Oklahoma City. Andi Knox is a waitress at Galatoire's restaurant in New Orleans. Andi and her husband have been trying to get pregnant, and had been going to a fertility clinic that was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina.

Out of the blue, Jennifer suggests that Andi come up to Oklahoma, stay with them, and undergo fertility treatment at David's clinic. They assume she'll never take them up on it. She does. Reporter Scott Gurian tells what happens next. (4 minutes)
