Come on.

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.

It's fine. I'm a light sleeper.

Years of being on call.

I just can't get her to
settle. I don't... it's okay.

Want me to try?

There you go.

Aw, I know, I know. There you go.

Hey, why don't you
go and get some sleep?

I can take care of little madam.

Are you sure?

Yeah. Go on.

Okay. Thanks.

Aw, I know, I know.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

A song?

Yeah?

Okay. Um...

Sophia, you good to go?

Oh.

- Um, you ready for a check-up?
- Yeah.

Decided on a name yet?

Are you actually gonna eat that?

I was.

- I just thought, as a nurse...
- Midwife.

You'd be more health-conscious.

Um...

Alright.

Yeah, well, I ran out of granola.

Are you sure that there's
no-one that you want to contact

about the baby, a friend, a relative?

Yeah, I've called my dad.

He wants to meet you.

Oh. Okay.

Great.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

- Come on, baby, you can do it, it's okay.
- _

Come on, that's it.

- That's it!
- That's it.

The baby's head's crowning.
We're almost there.

Come on, baby, go, come on.

Push, baby! Push!

There he is!

Well done, Meg.

So, Sophia's dad wants to meet me.

That's good, right?

I don't know, is it? What do I say?

Hi. I'm Grace.

Morning.

Oh, hey.

I'm thinking today is the day
that I... I land one.

Huh? Deliver a baby.

Pizza guys deliver.

Midwives birth.

I know. I know.

I know.

She is cute.

Yeah.

Definite baby commercial baby, this one.

Can you show me how to express milk?

Feeling like a night out, huh?

I was told it's probably best
not to breastfeed.

Who told you that?

- Hello.
- Dr. Cresswell.

I was about to give the baby
a head to toes.

I can take it from here, thanks.

I'll see if I can organise the...

So, enjoying being a mum?

Yeah.

I mean, it's okay, I guess.

Is it something that you planned?

I mean, you're young to
have a baby, aren't you?

No.

- Hi, Marnie. You settled in?
- Mm-hm.

This is Max. He's gonna
help me look after you today.

- Morning.
- Oh.

Is that gonna be a problem?

Um, my birth plan.

Okay.

Low lights, no drugs,
no medical interference.

Oh, double-sided.

Positive words at all times.

Partner to birth baby.

- Do you mind if I check?
- Yeah.

Just no ultrasound, I've heard
that it can harm the foetus.

- Are pinards okay?
- Mm-hm.

Thank you.

Okay, all good.

Kate's meant to be here,
but I can't get any messages.

Oh, yeah, the reception's terrible

except for in the foyer
and the courtyard.

- Oh, would you mind?
- I'll go.

No, that's okay. I need
to check something.

Make sure she's comfortable.

Of course.

She must have very good genes.

She's perfect.

Could I have a word, doctor, please?

Since when did you switch
to paediatrics?

It's a complete coincidence,
I just happened to be passing.

I have a right to know
my own granddaughter.

I don't want to overwhelm her,

not when I'm only just
getting to know her myself.

What, by taking her home with you?

And how's that plan
working out for you, hm?

Dad!

Sophia!

I think I might leave you with this one.

Hey.

I got here as soon as I could.

- Are you alright?
- Yeah.

I'm so sorry you had to go through
all this by yourself.

It's fine.

Oh, she's gorgeous!

What about you, up and about so soon?

What time was she born?

Ten past five...

... two days ago.

Two days?

You only just called me this morning.

- Did something happen?
- No, no.

God, everything's fine.

Well, why the bloody hell
didn't you call me sooner?

I mean, okay, I agreed that
you could come to the city

and check out the birthing centre.

No wonder I've been
getting the run-around.

Where have you been staying?

Grace.

Who are you?

- Her midwife.
- My birth mother.

I'm sorry, what?

Hi. I'm Grace.

Yes, I'm Sophia's birth mother.

And her midwife.

I don't understand.

Did you put her up to this?

- No.
- What? No.

Sophia coming to visit me
was a complete surprise,

and then she went into labour, and...

... as you can see, she had the baby.

Why wasn't I notified?

And, sorry, if you've only just met,
why is she staying with you?

Well, um...

it seemed like a good idea.

Oh, look, I'm sure you've
got a lot more questions.

I've just got to...

If you needed something to eat,

there's a really great deli
around the corner.

I'll be...

Sorry, I'll be right back.

Revised budget for next year's
midwifery allocation.

Mm-hm.

Look, I know Grace's presentation
the other day wasn't the way...

It was a total balls-up.

But she knows her stuff.

She's put a lot of work into this,
and she's deeply passionate.

Look, I don't doubt she cares,
maybe a little too much.

Is it true she took a new mum
and baby home with her?

Yes, but it turns out that mother
was her daughter.

Even better.

You worry too much.

You're getting little frown lines.

It's my job to worry.

Stop little problems turning into big...

Mm.

Big lawsuits.

Mm. We on for tonight?

You bet.

Oh, I gotta take Byron
to his clarinet lesson at 7 first.

Ooh, no domestic details, remember?

- Ooh, it hurts!
- It's okay, it's okay, just breathe.

Relax into it, Marnie, you got it.

I wasn't expecting it to hurt so much.

Can I try the gas?

Are you sure? It's
not on your birth plan.

There's some other things
we could try first.

We could have a bath, a heat pack.

I don't want a heat pack!

Alright, we'll get you some gas, then.

I know it's cheating.

It's just gas, it's not gonna kill you.

Grace is right. I wouldn't
be so hard on yourself.

Nitrous oxide doesn't
last long in the body.

Here you are, take the mouthpiece.

Take a deep breath.

In and out, there you go, for
the whole contraction, alright?

There you go.

And why didn't you tell me

that you wanted to track down
your birth mother?

'Cause I knew you wouldn't understand.

You're always so busy and
you're working on the house.

Yeah, getting it ready
for you and the baby.

I didn't ask you to do that.

Okay, well, it's done now.

I could pull back on my hours and
we can spend more time together.

Find the deli? They do
a pretty great Reuben.

I don't... That's not
what this is about.

What is it about, then, Sophia?

- Tell me, what am I missing?
- I'm not coming back home, Dad.

I'm not coming back to the farm
and I'm not keeping the baby.

That's why I came to find Grace.

I wanted to understand how this
whole adoption thing works.

That's what the social worker told me.

Social worker?

Yeah, I called an agency.

She said it takes about six weeks,

and then I have to go to
counselling sessions.

Was that the same for you?

Was it easier giving me up?

Oh...

I was so young when I had you.

I didn't think I could manage. I...

I thought you'd be
better off without me.

Look, you've just had a baby.

You need to take some time
to think about...

Could you stop giving my
daughter advice, please?

She doesn't need time
to think about anything

'cause nothing's happening.

Alright? Now, come on, we're going.

You've always told me there was
nothing wrong with being adopted.

I was loved, I was special.

So, what, it's alright
for the both of you

to make a choice but not me?

You're just a hypocrite.

You know what, in six weeks,

this baby's going to another family.

That's my choice.

I tracked down a breast pump.
You ready for our session?

Yeah.

Could you mind it for me?

You're gonna need that, too.

It?

What about her dad?

Did he know?

No, completely in the dark,
and here's the thing...

he seems like a really nice guy.

Why are you so surprised?

Sophia hasn't talked much about him.

I guess I thought he was...

I don't know, but he's not,
he's just her dad

trying to figure out what
to do with a 17-year-old.

So, adoption could be a good thing.

I mean, it worked out okay for Sophia.

Well, yeah, I guess but that doesn't
mean that she should do it.

You can't tell her that.

I can't? Why not?

What would you say?

Sophia, I made a mistake.

What?

You made a mistake?

What does that say
about the last 17 years

that she spent with her perfect father?

I didn't say perfect.

This is a breast shield, valve,
connector, membrane

and this is a breast pump.

This is the let-down button,
the speed suction dial

where you can adjust the speed

to where you feel
slightly uncomfortable,

and then turn it down a notch.

And then we put everything
together a bit like this.

And, voila, one breast pump ready to go.

It'll take a while to get used to it.

There's nothing expressed
without expressing milk.

Can I be by myself?

Of course.

I'll leave you to it.

If you need anything, just text me.

Thanks.

Babies take a bit of getting used to.

So I'm told.

Just concentrate on me, okay?

Look at me. Concentrate on me, okay?

I want to punch you in the face.

Okay, where, right here?

I reckon you've got a mean hook on ya.

It's gonna hurt me, you realise?

Alright, I tell you what, you get
through this next contraction,

I'm gonna let you do it.

Okay, you're still at the same dilation.

Is that bad?

No, no, it just means things
have slowed down a little bit,

and your baby's lying posterior.

Now, I don't want to worry you, okay,

but I will have to update
the obstetric team.

I'll be back shortly.

Interesting pain management technique.

Well, a distraction works every time.

Well, she's gonna need a lot of it.
Posterior hurts like hell.

Well, then, it's obvious
she should have a caesarean.

I don't think she's there yet.

She really wants to have
a natural birth.

Well, we don't always get what we want.

I mean, why should you put this woman
through unnecessary pain

when the result's gonna
be exactly the same?

Well, pain isn't always a
bad thing, not in labour.

Oh, really, Grace?

Then why are you here?
Why do you want my opinion?

Sophia's giving her daughter
up for adoption.

What are you gonna do?

At least you got a heads up.

Your mother, if the baby doesn't turn
and the labour is stalled,

she'll be in pain for hours.

Why don't you just get her to agree
to an epidural and syntocinon?

How are you... ? Uh...

Maybe she just wants some time out.

How was she able to just
up and leave like that?

- Don't you people have duty of care?
- You people?

Okay, well, how about just you?

Her midwife who made no
attempt to call her father.

As I said, we're guided
by the wishes of the woman.

Not your own?

Why'd you take her home with you?

What were you trying to do,
make up for lost time?

I offered Sophia a place to stay

because I didn't want her
living in a sharehouse,

and, while we're at it,
what kind of a father lets

his eight-month-pregnant daughter
travel to the city by herself?

She didn't want me to go with her
'cause she wanted to come and see

a midwife so she could
talk about personal stuff.

Sh, it's okay. Sh, sh, sh, sh.

Okay, alright. Sh, sh, sh, sh.

Okay, alright.

Look, why don't I take her?

I'll get her fed and changed,
and you can try Sophia again.

Sh, sh, sh, sh.

I'm not gonna kidnap her.

I'm a failure, aren't I?

I can't stand a little pain.

Your baby's spine is
lying against your spine,

and we know that's causing
more than a little pain.

Yeah, top marks for making it this far.

I couldn't have done it.

Hey, hey, hey,

have you thought of any names
for this little heartbreaker, hm?

Heartbreaker?

Well, grief he's giving you
now, he's bound to be.

Yeah?

What have we got? Hit me
with some. What have we got?

Sam.

Kate! Wait up.

Hey, Marnie's been desperate
for you to arrive.

Yeah, I know, but I can't go in.

It freaks me out to see her in pain.

I'm not good with it, never have been.

She's not in pain anymore,
she's had an epidural.

Yeah, I don't want to jinx it.

Jinx it?

We've had a couple of miscarriages.

Yeah, I know.

This is the first to last full term.

You don't know what that feels like.

Believe me, I do.

I lost a baby at 33 weeks,
a little boy, Henry.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, me, too.

So you know what I mean.

I'm scared to death right now.

Well, Marnie's scared, too.
She really needs you.

What if something goes wrong?

Then she's gonna need
you more than ever.

And, hey, if it all goes right,

then you get to be there
and experience it with her.

I'm sorry, I can't. I'm sorry.

Hey. It's Sophia. Leave a message.

Sophia, hi, it's me, Grace.

Look, please call me or
text or call your dad.

I just want to know that you're okay.

- Hey.
- Hey, what's up?

Uh, where are you?

Not far away, just
did a patient transfer.

I need you to do me a favour.

Could you swing by the house
and see if Sophia's there?

Why don't you just call her?

I have, she's not answering her phone.

- Leave a message.
- She's done a runner from the centre.

I can't... I can't get hold of her.

Shit.

Yeah, shit.

- So, will you do it?
- I don't even know the girl.

Well, think of it as practice

for when you and Bonnie
have teenagers of your own.

The baby's not even born yet.

Come on, Jim, please.

I'll owe you one.

There's a lasagne in
the fridge you can have.

Oh, oh, you're bribing me
with frozen lasagne?

Best I've got.

Please.

Alright, fine, I'll do it.

Thank you. Oh, and, Jim...

How do I tell a woman's partner
to be by her side during birth

no matter what the outcome?

Jim?

You can't.

It's personal.

Call me, okay?

Why was she left alone?

I didn't... She needed privacy.

I didn't think she wanted
an audience expressing milk.

Okay, how about when
she was first admitted?

Did she leave an emergency contact?

I'm not allowed to
give out that information.

I'm her father!

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, man, why don't we grab
a drink, cool off a bit, hm?

_

It's a diet cola.

Sorry, it's the best I can do.

I dropped the ball.

I thought she was doing fine.

Kids, huh?

Yeah. You got any?

Yeah, I do, actually, a son. He's seven.

He's just starting to get into all
the things that I used to get into,

which is a worry.

Sophia?

Hello.

Sophia?

Look at this.

Sophia, you in here?

Hello?

- Hey, any news?
- No, you?

No sign of her or her friends, no.

I've had a text from Sophia.

She wanted me to pass on a message?

She texted you?

What can I say? We bonded.

"Let them know I'm not dead".

That's it?

Guess she didn't want you to worry.

Her baseline's consistently above 160.

And there's no change to the cervix.

What does that mean?

What's wrong?

So, your baby's heart rate has become
what we call tachycardic.

Tachy-what?

It means it's beating too fast,

which usually means
the baby's under stress.

Why? What am I doing wrong?

No, no, it could be
any number of things,

not to mention your own stress.

So, at this stage, I think we
should go for a caesarean.

Hey.

The only outcome to focus on now is

a healthy baby and a healthy mum.

It's just not what I expected, you know?

It's not what I planned.

Well, sometimes plans don't go
the way you want them to,

but it doesn't mean that you can't have

a beautiful experience from here.

You can still have skin to skin.
It can still be lovely.

I just wish Kate was here.

We should've done this two hours ago.

We didn't know this was inevitable.

We could've predicted it
with a fair amount of certainty.

Why do you always make me
feel like I'm in the wrong?

I can't help how you feel.
I'm not responsible for that.

Oh, no, it's just me
fucking up again, as always.

You never approve of anything I do.

I taught you to think for yourself.

You're the one who made the decisions.

You can't blame me for them if they
come back to bite you on the arse.

Oh, so, we're talking
about Sophia now, are we?

I made a decision, it was
confused and irrational,

because I never thought that
I could talk to you about anything.

Things at home weren't exact...

Not here.

You kept it a secret from me
until it was too late.

I was just thinking for myself,
Diane, like you always taught me.

- Oh, so it's my fault?
- No, I did it. It was my choice.

I thought I was making
a mature, considered decision.

That's what I had drilled into me.

And you never thought,
not for one second,

how I might feel about you
giving your baby up... ?

I could never talk to you
about anything.

- You were too busy fighting with Dad.
- You could've come up to me at any time.

Yeah, right, maybe I should've
made an appointment.

Why did you do it, Grace?

- Come on, the real reason.
- I don't know.

Why did you give up the baby?

- I don't know!
- Yes, you do.

I have to prepare for theatre.

_

We're all ready in theatre.

Marnie's fully dilated plus two.

Right, I think we'll stop there.

We're a bit late for a caesarean now.

Marnie, the good news is that

your baby has moved
into the birth canal.

Bad news is you're
going to have to push.

You made it.

Yeah.

Come in. Come in.

I'm so sorry, I had some
delays, but I'm here now.

Nothing's gone the way we planned.

As long as you're okay, okay?

Okay, Marnie.

Now, this is going to feel really weird,

but, when you're ready,
we're gonna try and push, okay?

Ready? You can do this.

Big breath in.

Hold it. Push, push, push, push, push.

So good. Okay, take a breath.

One more time.

Big breath and hold it.

Push, push.

So good, deeper, deeper.

Baby's head's asynclitic.
We might need to use forceps.

Alright, allow me.

Marnie, is it alright with you

if I adjust the position
of your baby's head?

Yeah.

On your next contraction,
it's just a little twist.

Okay, ready, big breath in.

Hold it. Push. That's it.

So good, so good, Marnie.

Good.

Okay, we're good to go. Kate, you're up.

Please, stay with me.

Please.

Max?

Are you sure? Okay, you better hurry up.

Okay, ready, Marnie? Big breath in.
Big breath in. Hold it.

Push, push, push, push,
push, push. So good, okay.

Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.
One more push from the shoulders.

Okay, you got this.

Big breath in, big breath in.
Squeeze it tight.

Push, push, push, push!

Push. That's it, look!

Hey. It's Sophia. Leave a message.

Sophia. Hi, it's me again. Um...

I have something I need to tell you.

Just please hear me out.

Hey.

You have that look.

- What look?
- First birth look.

Yeah, that was pretty special.

Yeah, it's not something you forget.

Buy you a drink?

Oh, I can't, sorry. Next time.

I'll hold you to it.

Ooh, hey, I left your man...

- My man?
- Yeah, Kirk.

Yeah, he's in the family room.

I couldn't bear to see
him looking so sad.

Grace, baby's been fed, changed,

vomited so changed again,
and now she's finally sleeping.

My baby-minding duty's done.

Thank you.

Hey, little miss.

Alright. Yep. I'll let you know.

Dr. Cresswell.

Dr. Sebastian.

Good to see you again.

How long has it been, six months?

Seven. Bridgewater Conference.

Your talk on gestational diabetes
was eye-opening.

I'm surprised you remember that.

Well, it was a weekend
full of surprises.

So, how have you been?

Good, good.

- You have children, don't you?
- Three.

Two married and the third
still trying to find themselves.

What's your day looking like?

I'm here to see Professor Hill, but...

Well, do you want to
have a drink, maybe?

So long as it's my shout this time.

- Hey.
- Hey. Anything?

At least we know she's not dead.

Until I get my hands on her.

Hey.

A year ago, I had a daughter in
high school, and now I'm a granddad.

Congratulations, by the way.

Thanks. You, too.

I don't know how we
got so far off track.

Sophia mentioned that her mum died.

Yeah, two years ago.

The first six months were pretty heavy,

but then I thought that she
was dealing with it, you know?

Thought she was doing okay.

I'm an idiot.

Yeah, well, that makes two of us.

So, now what?

Uh, I guess we wait for her to turn up.

Do you have a place to stay?

Yeah, I booked a hotel.

Um, look, the thing is I'm
set up for a baby at home.

If you're comfortable, I think
I should take her home with me.

I don't think so.

Well, at least until Sophia turns up.

Okay, well...

You'll call me if she does?

Yeah, of course, of course. And you me?

Thanks.

Okay, I'll... I'll call you.

Okay.

So, you're still happily divorced?

You?

Ooh, yeah, yeah, I'm
enjoying my single life.

I like company, though.
I like dinner, a few drinks.

Well, here's to that.

And, your kids, you
get on well with them?

I wouldn't say entirely,

but they're adults now, and they've
got their own lives to sort out.

You can't keep living it for them.

No.

My daughter and I are still,

how would I say, we are still evolving.

If I was to tell you that I had
just become a great-grandmother,

you might have some idea of what I mean.

I'm sure you'd be a great grandmother.

For me?

I wasn't sure if women
still liked getting roses.

Well, this woman does.

- Hey.
- Hey. No news?

She's not dead.

So, I did tidy up a bit.

Jim!

You can't do that. You
don't live there anymore.

You're having a go at me for cleaning?

Yes! No.

Guess not, thank you.

Are you okay?

If you want, I can swing by
and keep you company.

Thank you but you've got
a pregnant wife at home,

she needs you more than me.

Alright. See ya.

You asked me to hear you out.

Thanks for taking care of the baby.

Look, I know I shouldn't
have run off like that.

I was just overwhelmed with you
and Dad and the baby, and...

No. We totally get it.

I...

I felt exactly the same way at your age.

What, I'm you at 17?

Now I'm trying to relive a decision
that isn't mine to make.

I know you want to know why.

I just... I don't have any easy answers.

I mean...

I could say that it was for
this reason or for that reason,

but it wouldn't be the full picture.

It...

The truth is...

... it's complex...

... and messy and...

It's difficult to explain.

And maybe it'll take a conversation,

maybe it'll take a hundred
conversations, I don't know, but...

I'd really like for you to stick
around so that we can have them.

I have something to share with you.

I decided on a name.

Oh, well, I mean, I was warming
to It, but go on, let's hear it.

Eady.

Good choice.

- Yeah, hi.
- She's here.

She's safe.

Yeah, she just texted me.

She named the baby Eady.

That was her mum's middle name.

I told her that it's her choice.

We'll support her.

Are you okay with that?

Not really.

How about you?

I didn't know what else to say.

Okay, so, what are we
going to do about it?

- We?
- Well, you are in this now, aren't you?

Yes.

Well, we've got six weeks
to change her mind.

Every new life...

... brings them closer.

He's gorgeous.

You should get with him.

Every secret...

In my experience, secrets
always have a way of coming out.

... is dangerous.

Paul's wife, she knows it's me.

Hold on tight.

What're you gonna do?

The biggest...

You don't get to judge me.

... surprises...

Sorry... I'm sorry.

... are coming.

I'm trying here, okay?

Singing lets the baby know,
it's safe to be born.

Three, four...
