What is Junior about?

A research scientist becomes the world's first pregnant man in order to test a drug he and a colleague have designed for expectant women. To carry out the trial, he has an embryo implant, believing that he will only carry the baby for three months – hardly expecting to face the prospect of giving birth.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

Yes. It lands on a happy note.
