Plot
When Timmy learns his fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda, want a child, Timmy wishes for one of their own, against Jorgen's warnings. The fairy baby does not appear immediately; rather Cosmo becomes pregnant and eventually develops emotional swings. Despite his efforts to throw a "baby shower" for the expecting fairy, according to ancient traditions, Timmy is unable to tolerate Cosmo any longer and wishes for him to get lost. Angered, Cosmo poofs away, leaving everyone frightened. Timmy and the other fairies scour the Earth and the Fairy, Pixie, and Anti-Fairy Worlds to search for Cosmo. In the process, Timmy accidentally spreads news about the baby to Anti-Cosmo, whom in turn tells the news to the Head Pixie. As the anti-fairies and pixies head out to kidnap the baby, Timmy and Wanda find Cosmo "getting lost" in a meadowMeadow
