Original subtitles

Why haven't you been answering my calls?

My parents are always around.

Well you need to tell them that you can't look after Eadie.

We could do it together.

It'd be fun...

...us bring up Eadie.

No, it wouldn't.

So what do I tell my parents?

I don't know.

That you changed your mind.

That you don't want to raise a child, that you're too young,

that you want to join the army. I actually don't care.

I don't think they're gonna go for it.

Come with me.

But Dale and I were gonna...

Okay.

Grace.

Bonnie. Is everything okay?

Oh, with this? Yeah.

You know I'm having a caesarean.

Yeah, Jim said.

I don't want to take any chances.

Yep, sure, whatever makes you feel more comfortable.

Um, I've got a final check-up next week,

but I wanted to give you this.

It's the house sale contract.

I do have a copy of this, Bonnie.

I'm giving birth in a week and we found a place

that would be so perfect for our little family.

It's got a garden and a nursery.

I have a family too, you know.

Sure.

But seriously, Grace,

your long lost daughter isn't Jim's responsibility.

I never said she was.

Fine.

But, I mean, don't you think that it's time that you just let Jim go?

We're divorced.

Maybe, yeah, but you still call him every other day.

Bonnie, we're selling a house together,

we've got business that we need to talk about,

we've got things that need to be fixed.

Right, so you can't fix a tap washer on your own?

Wow.

When did you get so primal?

Jim and I are exes, Bonnie, you've got nothing to worry about.

You're hanging on, Grace, you need to let him go.

Can you believe this?

Bonnie thinks I'm holding up the sale of the house

because I'm clinging onto Jim.

Okay, as your best friend, and midwifery unit manager,

you were married to Jim and you lost a baby with him

and now he's about to have a baby with someone else.

Yeah.

That can't be easy.

This is your way of saying you agree with her.

You think I need to move on?

Maybe we both do.

I mean, I just broke up with a married man

whose wife is 36 weeks pregnant.

And I went on a date with a guy who won't stop sending me dick pics.

Dick pics are out... good to know.

Seriously, do you know any normal guys?

Plenty.

Who want to have a baby?

Is that the first question?

I don't have time to muck around.

Look, I'm not asking for a superhero.

I just want someone that's caring.

Attentive.

Loving.

Sweet.

Like that guy.

Okay, he has been doting on his wife ever since they got here.

Anything she wants, he's onto it.

That's devotion.

You're in with Sasha, by the way.

Wrapping your baby gives it a sense of safety and warmth.

More sleep for bub,

the less you have to spend your nights feeling like

the walking dead.

Ah, that's swaddled, not suffocated.

Alright, well, keep practising and I will see you all next week.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

You always make the class so much fun.

Keeps them coming back.

Especially the partners...

they generally have low boredom thresholds.

You know that I know, don't you?

Look, there are other classes you can go to.

I've tried a couple.

None are as good as yours.

I'm serious.

You do make it fun.

I'm really sorry.

What for?

Oh. You mean for having an affair with my husband.

I-I know it's no excuse,

but I really thought that you and Paul weren't intimate.

We weren't.

Not for a long time.

Truth is, our love life died out over the years,

especially with Paul's cheating.

He lost interest and then so did I.

I guess I should be used to it,

but it still hurts to read a text from someone you don't know.

Well I can honestly say that's not happening now.

I know that.

This was from a Shelley?

- Do you need more ice? - Mm-mm.

Um, orange juice?

How's your back?

What about a heat pack?

- Nope. - I could sing you your favourite song?

- "Hit me one more time". - Classic Britney.

Okay, that is not my favourite song.

We sang it in the car on the way here.

Yep, that's because it was on your playlist.

Travis, you're fussing too much.

- Am I? - Yep.

I love you, but yes.

Hi, how are we going?

Strong and steady.

Ah, great.

Morning, Bree.

I'm Dr Tiffany Adams. Tiff.

I'm here to check on you and your baby.

That's okay, Tiff, I'm here keeping an eye on them both

and they're fine.

As her consulting obstetrician I make that call.

No, no, not at the birthing centre.

This is my space.

Your space?

As Bree's having a natural birth,

I'm her midwife and we decide how it progresses.

Ah, yeah, I should have mentioned, Sasha.

I know I got the all clear for a natural birth,

I just... I wanted the insurance.

Given your medical history, I think that's a wise decision.

Okay, fine. I'll leave you to it.

How about I get that warmed up for you?

Right.

Oh, Grace! Correct me if I'm wrong,

but this is a midwife-led birthing centre

with midwives calling the shots, right?

I wasn't informed there was a consulting obstetrician

for my woman in suite one.

That's not how we do things, is it?

Not in principle, no,

but we're always guided by the wishes of the woman.

She was rude to me.

Sasha, birthing women say all sorts of things, you know that.

I meant the obstetrician.

You might want to have a word with her.

Her name is Tiffany Adams.

Ah, I'm so sorry, I have to answer this, sorry.

Bonnie.

Hi, I'm glad you called.

Look, I need to apologise for earlier, that was...

Bonnie?

I was just backing out and I had this pain.

I tried to call Jim, but...

Okay, slow down. Where are you?

In the car park.

The hospital car park?

Yes.

Okay, Bonnie, don't move, I'm going to be right there, okay?

Bonnie!

Hey, how are you feeling?

You okay?

I'm okay.

You having more contractions?

Um, no, I-I-I don't know. Maybe it's just a stomach bug.

Okay.

Okay, Bonnie, that's a contraction.

Argh!

It can't be, I'm not due until next week.

We need to get her inside.

Hi, Bonnie, my name is Max.

If you want, you can put your arm around me and I'll help you out.

I'm not ready to have this baby.

Can you please do something to slow it down?

I'm afraid not.

But I'm booked in for a caesarean next week.

I'm meant to be having a wax tomorrow.

Bonnie, believe me, no one cares about that.

Okay, ready or not, you're going to have a baby.

Okay, come on, ready?

Okay.

Her waters have broken.

It's okay, it's just liquid.

Nothing a sponge and a magic trick can't fix.

You're going to be fine. I'm going to come around, okay?

- It's okay. - Okay.

Just stay here.

Oh...

Okay, Bonnie, do you want to swing your legs around?

That's it. Keep breathing.

Keep breathing.

- Oh! It's okay. - It's okay, it's alright. It's okay.

Do you mind if we take the baby's heartrate?

- Yes. - Keep breathing.

Oh!

Slow it down, that's right.

In and out.

Oh!

I don't think we're going anywhere.

That's it, Bonnie, keep breathing.

You're doing so well.

Jim. Hey, where are you?

Across town. Just dropped off a patient. Why?

- Bonnie's in labour. - What!

She can't be. She just had a check-up this morning.

Well, she is and it's happening quickly.

How soon can you get here?

Half an hour at least.

Alright, tell me everything.

What's the CTG say?

The CTG says we're in the car park.

Oh...

St Brigid's, go.

What's she doing in the carpark? She should be inside.

I'm gonna call the obstetrician.

Jim, you need to calm down, okay?

It's not by choice we're in the carpark.

I'm gonna hand you back to Bonnie, but just remember, stay calm.

Jim.

I can't believe this is happening.

I know!

Where are they going to live? The cot's not even assembled.

Don't worry, okay? I'll get the baby room set up.

It's not how we planned it.

It's okay, sweetie, okay? Everything's gonna be okay.

Alright?

- I love you so much. - Me, too.

Oh!

Call the hospital, arrange a transport team,

and ring Laney and tell her to prep a birthing suite.

Okay.

It's okay, Bonnie, you're doing so well.

Is that everything?

Yep. And an interview.

What?

I told you that's why we're here.

Sophia, what am I supposed to say?

It's fine. Calm down, okay? Just follow my lead.

Sophia, good to see you again.

And you must be Jeremy.

Come in.

Okay, so Jeremy, you're happy to proceed with Eadie's adoption?

Yeah.

And would you like to maintain contact afterwards?

- Um... - No.

He doesn't want to confuse Eadie as she's growing up.

Thanks, Sophia, but I was asking Jeremy.

I think it's best that Eadie has a new Mum and dad.

And your parents? Have you discussed this with them?

Yeah. Yeah, they're good with it, yeah.

Can you tell me about your decision?

What do you mean?

What led you to this point.

I'm interested in your thought process.

Just tell her.

Um...

I-I don't know.

It seems like the right thing to do.

You wouldn't like to raise Eadie?

Yeah, sure.

But Sophia's not really into it.

So this isn't your idea?

Jeremy wants what's best for Eadie.

I'm sure he does,

but it sounds to me like he's... uncertain right now.

No. He's not uncertain, he's 100% certain.

Do you think you might need a bit more time

to think about this, Jeremy?

It's a big decision.

Um...

Perhaps it would help if we did a session on our own.

I can, um...

...I can fit you in towards the end of the week.

Does that suit you?

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

That's it, Bonnie, keep breathing.

Okay, on the next contraction, I'm going to need you to push, okay?

You're nearly there, you're doing so well.

What's going on? Bonnie?

Bonnie.

Grace, what's going on?

It's all good, mate.

Your baby's coming now, there's no time to move her.

Had a test run for every scenario except for being stuck in the car.

Get out of the way, you dickhead!

I'm sorry I was so cranky before.

If you need Jim to fix your taps, that's fine.

Don't worry about it, Bonnie, just focus on your breathing, okay?

You're doing so well, you're nearly there.

Jim!

I'm so scared.

It's okay, honey, it's okay, you're doing really, really well.

What if something goes wrong?

Nothing is going to go wrong, okay? Nothing.

You and Grace.

It's not gonna happen.

Okay? That's not gonna happen.

It's not gonna happen.

Okay, this is it, Bonnie.

- Ah! - This is it.

I need you to push.

Push harder.

I am pushing!

Okay, I can see the head.

I can see the head, you're so close.

- Push. Push. - Oh! Argh!

This is it, Bonnie.

That's it, you've done it.

You've done it, Bonnie.

It's a boy.

Oh!

Congratulations, mate, you've got a little baby boy!

Ah, that's unreal.

Grace, is he okay?

He's perfect.

You should see him, Jim.

He's so beautiful.

We're gonna get you checked out by the obstetrician

and then you and bub can come back to the birthing centre, okay?

Okay.

You okay, Bonnie?

Ah... Um, I don't know. I feel really...

...weird.

Okay, Max, you need to take the baby, we need to lie her flat.

It's okay, we got him.

Bonnie, stay with me.

Try and stay with me, okay?

Bonnie, Bonnie, can you hear me?

Shit.

Bonnie. Bonnie, stay awake if you can, okay?

Stay awake, listen to my voice.

Postpartum haemorrhage.

Bonnie, stay with me.

Can you hear me?

Where's Bonnie?

She's in theatre.

I'm gonna go see her.

You can't, they're still operating.

Well, where, where is he? Where's my son?

Everything's okay, Jim.

He's in the examination room. Come.

He's the spitting image of you.

He really is, look at his chin.

What happened, Grace?

Why didn't you get Bonnie to the hospital sooner?

Jim, I tried. It happened too quickly.

Were you trying to be a hero?

No.

Of course not.

Believe me, it couldn't have played out any other way.

She had a precipitous labour,

it increases the risk of postpartum haemorrhage.

I know, I'm sorry.

It's just...

...I don't know what I'd do without...

"Hey, it's Sophia, leave a message".

Sophia, hey, it's me.

Just checking in.

I was thinking maybe we could have a girls night later.

Maybe watch a movie, order in a... something healthy.

Let me know.

Jeremy doesn't want Eadie.

It's his parents who are forcing him into it.

He said that?

I had it all under control and Jeremy's just...

Sophia, no matter how bad things get,

there's always a solution

as long as you're brave enough to face it.

I just want him to go away.

Isn't there something that you can do about it?

Okay.

Got a number for them?

Yeah.

Alright then, leave it with me.

Get a cab to my place.

Let yourself in, there's food in the fridge.

What's taking so long?

You don't have to answer that.

It's the one thing about being in the profession,

you know what can go wrong.

She's in good hands.

Come on, why don't you take a seat.

He's gorgeous.

You okay?

Bonnie said I was hanging onto you.

What?

Before she went into labour, I fobbed her off.

I thought she was behaving like a threatened tigress.

She's right though.

I call you all the time because...

I don't have the right to do that anymore.

Not now.

Retained placenta is the cause of all of the problems,

so we've had it removed, the uterus is clear,

and she's recovering well.

Thank you.

Thank Grace, she stemmed the bleeding.

Are you alright?

Yeah.

Sure.

My ex just had a baby and I'm really happy for him

and I'm about to lose my house and my daughter

and my granddaughter along with it.

And... before you say things will get better,

what if they don't?

What if it gets worse from here?

Could end up homeless living in a bus shelter.

With only one set of clothes and a portable radio to keep you company.

Look, I know this may sound cliche, but things will get better.

They always do.

You'll find a new place, you'll meet someone new.

I appreciate what you're saying, but I don't feel like...

I don't know what I feel.

Okay, okay. Hey, put them down.

Come here.

Look at me.

What you did today was incredible.

You brought a little life into this world in a carpark.

That should have been mine.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

Don't... don't be sorry.

Don't be sorry.

You're allowed to be sad.

Oh, shit.

- I'm sorry. - No, don't, no.

I don't know why I did that.

I'm so sorry, I need...

Kirk, hi.

How about warning me next time you decide to go rogue.

What are you talking about?

I thought you were leaving Jeremy's parents to me.

I... I seriously have no idea what you're talking about.

She did what?

Okay. Bye.

Let me guess.

You have to go.

That's it. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Oh, you did so well, great push, great push.

Bree, what can I get you?

Some more ice? Can I peel you an orange?

No, no. No ice, no orange, no singing.

You're fussing again, Travis.

Do you still want me in the room?

You called me multiple unrepeatable names.

I've heard worse.

Worse than numbnuts shit-face?

Oh, yeah.

You're not a numbnuts or a shit-face.

I love you.

She's been pushing for over an hour and there's no descent.

I think she needs some assistance.

Okay.

I'll go. You explain what's happening to Bree.

Sure.

What were you thinking?

Wh... what you mean?

You bribed Jeremy's parents?

Oh, I didn't bribe them, I incentivised them

- to consider things differently. - How much?

Well I didn't offer them money.

- Why do you always think the worst of me? - Okay, what then?

I simply suggested that if Jeremy would like to pursue university,

or an apprenticeship, that I would be happy to help.

As long as he didn't pursue custody of Eadie.

No see, I didn't say that.

But I think Sophia is absolutely right,

this whole thing has been driven by Jeremy's parents.

Sophia?

She came to see me.

She was desperate.

Why didn't she call me?

I was... just trying to help.

Well just stay out of it.

Well I would except that you're all coming to my place this evening.

I need a medical review for Bree.

Her labour's not progressing.

You're inviting me into your space now?

Yes, in the best interests of Bree.

Okay then.

Let's see what the problem is.

Look, thing is, we both want a good outcome, right?

And it's not going to be helpful if there's friction in the room.

Agreed.

So will you go out with me later?

What? No.

Then I can't guarantee my bedside manner.

That's appalling.

Okay, fine.

In my opinion, we should try a ventouse.

A ventouse?

What's a ventouse?

A ventouse is like a suction cup that attaches to your baby's head.

Ew. I mean, yay!

I'm sure Bree would like to know why.

Sometimes the baby gets locked in a position

and it doesn't matter how hard you push, it won't move forward.

Is it something that I'm doing wrong?

Nothing to do with you.

What Tiff means is you're doing everything you can,

but sometimes the baby might need a bit of help.

Are you okay with that?

Yeah. Yep. Help.

Okay, Bree.

Ah, hold tight, we'll organise a transfer for you

and then we'll get this...

The baby's moved.

I can see its head.

- That's good, Bree. - Push.

Deep breaths. There you go.

What about the ventouse?

No ventouse. No ventouse.

Okay, Bree, here we go.

Bree, the baby's head's out.

One more contraction, and then bub will be here, okay?

Let's do this.

Ah!

Oh! Oh!

I think it's a shoulder distraction.

Max, pillows out.

- Take her weight. - Why?

Hold off pushing, Bree, your baby's shoulder is stuck.

Ah! Ah!

Max, we need to get her knees up.

We need to open up the pelvis to give the baby more space.

Doing well. Doing really well.

Really well.

Great work, Bree.

We're going to try again.

- Sasha? - Mm-hm.

You're doing well.

Really good work, Bree.

Sasha, some pressure here.

Mm-hm. Ready?

Ahhhh!

That's it.

It's coming.

And...

And here he is.

Here he is.

Um...

...about what happened earlier, um...

...I'm really sorry that, you know.

Kissing you.

No need.

It was a good kiss.

It was a big day.

Mm.

Look, I don't want things to be awkward between us.

Can we just pretend it didn't happen?

Yeah.

Pub?

Drinks. Dinner.

I would love to, but I have a family intervention

that I'm so looking forward to.

Max?

Come on. My shout.

- What, for a feed? - Mm.

Absolutely.

Hey you.

Hi.

You gave us a scare. How are you feeling?

Much better.

I wanted to give you this.

I signed the contract.

Thank you.

Oh, hey, I can come around tomorrow and fix that leaking tap

if it suits you?

Oh, no, all good.

I paid for a handyman.

Good thing I'm a cheap date.

Sorry, that sounds like I wasn't...

Ah, thank you for that.

Yeah, well, you probably heard I recently broke up with someone.

Paul?

This is a bit personal.

Right, um...

See, it didn't occur to me before that I wanted kids.

Now I know I do.

Ah-huh.

But even if I met the perfect guy tomorrow,

it's like there's still that getting to know each other stuff,

and then moving in together, and then, like, you know,

who knows if we'll even work out.

You see my dilemma?

Mm.

It got me thinking,

I mean, there are other ways to get impregnated.

Mm-hm.

I just...

I just want to know, um, how's it work?

- Um... you put... - I don't mean the mechanics.

- I just... - Oh.

I just mean are you glad you did it?

100%.

Joano's great. Um...

And my sister and her partner are phenomenal parents.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Would you do it again?

Oh, um...

- I don't... - Oh, no, no, no.

I wasn't... I wasn't asking you.

Yeah, no, I didn't think you were.

Yeah.

I mean... I mean you wouldn't, would you?

I'd have to think about it like pretty seriously.

At least you know what you're in for.

But I mean, it's a silly idea.

It's not silly, it's not... don't... it's not silly it's just, it's um...

It's, it's, ah...

It's, it's, it's a, it's a big decision.

For the both of us.

So, where would you like to go?

I only said that so you'd be nice to Bree.

Even if that were true, I know you,

you don't go back on your word.

You're always so sure of yourself, aren't you?

Mm, it's 90% front.

10% bullshit.

Have dinner with me.

And if you still hate me at the end of it

I promise not to engage with you while I'm at St Brigid's.

There's a sushi bar around the corner.

I hate Japanese.

Yeah... I know.

I hear you managed a severe postpartum haemorrhage

like a champion.

It is always hair-raising, but it was a good outcome.

Quick drink?

I'd love that, I really would.

But not tonight.

Tonight I have a... a small bushfire to extinguish.

Where do you want to sit?

Outside.

Sophia.

What? Do we really have to do this?

Maybe you'd prefer a court room.

I don't want to talk to them, so we might as well just cancel.

I'll get it.

Right, well I'd just like to start by saying

I never had any intention of bribing anyone...

Thanks, Mum.

So, I think the purpose of this evening obviously,

other than clearing the air, is to work out what's best for Eadie.

Jeremy, do you want to go first?

Is custody something that you really want?

Oh, yes he does.

She was asking Jeremy.

Sophia. Don't be rude.

She was.

Go on.

Tell everyone what you really want.

Yeah, sure.

I, um...

I don't know.

Where will you live?

At my parents' house.

And what about work?

My folks' newsagency.

Who's going to take care of Eadie?

We'll manage.

So you're going to look after Eadie for the next 20 years

until you're 40 and your parents are 80?

Didn't you want to sell the business, retire,

and travel round Australia?

Family comes first.

Yes, of course, we all feel that way.

But what Sophia wants for Eadie is a united mum and dad.

By adopting her out.

That baby is our blood.

She's our grandchild.

She's our son's daughter.

No, she's not.

She's not any of those things because she's not Jeremy's baby.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Is this true?

Okay, I don't... I don't understand.

I think it's pretty clear.

Sophia, what the hell's going on?

I needed someone to sign the adoption papers.

So I asked Jeremy because he's my friend...

no one was meant to find out.

I wish I hadn't told my cousin.

Why didn't you tell us the truth?

I tried to.

The lie kind of snowballed

and then I thought Sophia might change her mind...

...and we could bring up the baby together.

I'm sorry, Jeremy.

That's okay.

Right, well I guess that's that then.

Can I offer anyone a drink?

Thanks for coming.

Good luck.

You'll need it.

Why, Sophia?

Told you I needed Jeremy to sign the adoption papers.

Why not the real father?

He's not in the picture.

Sophia, if something happened to you, a date that went wrong...

Oh, my god, no, stop it.

It's nothing terrible, I just don't want to talk about him.

Then why the big secret?

I don't know, Grace,

why won't you tell me who my father is?

Well, one thing you can say, she's shown a lot of initiative.

You're welcome to stay at my place.

Thanks, but I've extended my stay at the hotel.

There's no real point going back with her birthday round the corner.

I can't believe she's going to be 18.

I know.

Yeah, I'm really, really glad Jeremy is not the father.

Oh, he's sweet.

Okay, sure.

What a night.

More to come.

Hey, Grace.

I just want to say I really appreciate

everything that you've done on this.

Sophia, I don't know how I would have handled it by myself.

Me, too.

I mean... with you.

Goodnight.

Yeah.

Ha!

Not that hard.

So we didn't get to do our girls night.

Maybe tonight?

Sure.

Pepperoni pizza and a movie?

Sold.

'Miss Congeniality' is a classic.

She's a lot like you.
