Texas Gardening: Mystery cucurbit - Can you guess what it is?, 1 by cr0ak

I found this cucurbit growing in my veggie garden and it was in the way of where I wanted to put my tomato plants. So I moved it to a different area. By the shape and size of the original leaves, I figured it was some kind of squash plant - or a cucumber plant. But... it's none of those. I have NO clue what it could be. As a volunteer plant, it really could be anything! Well... anything in the cucurbit family.

The plant has a slew of little oval-ish balls on it. I'm thinking it might be in the cantaloup family or something similar, but since I've never planted them it's a mystery as to where the seed came from. Birds? Squirrels?

Does anyone have a clue as to what this might be? I thought that if I waited until "babies" started to appear that I'd be able to ID this plant. I don't want to wait too much longer, as if it's something I wouldn't eat, there's no point in taking up valuable garden space... so I'd rip it out and plant something else in its place.
