Oh, you're up already! Happy birthday!

Thanks.

What's wrong with you?

Oh, I thought you would've seen it.

It's just something little. You can open it whenever.

Thank you.

Oh... Sorry.

Yeah, no, of course. It's the big day.

OK, um, I will be back early afternoon

and then we can get cracking on that dinner of yours.

Is Grandma coming?

Do you want her to?

Then she's coming.

OK, I... uh, I really have to go.

Well, have a great day.

I'm excited for tonight.

So, do you think balloons are too much?

For an 18th?

Yeah. Not the crappy ones. The helium ones.

Uh... Unless they're full of alcohol.

Yeah, that's a terrible idea.

Righto.

Killjoy. It's exciting, though, huh?

Little family affair for you. Huh? Yeah.

Mmm. You too.

What do you mean? You, Laney, your sperm...

What... No. No, no, no. No, no, no, that was, um...

That's purely hypothetical.

That was just two friends... shooting shit over a dinner.

Alright. Does she know about that, 'Sperminator'?

Yeah, I think... Sperminator? Don't. Yuck.

And I definitely didn't say yes. There was no... I definitely didn't.

There was no verbal confirmation.

Did she say there was verbal confirmation?

OK. Celina. So, it's a first baby. Uncomplicated pregnancy.

The only thing we kind of need to keep an eye on... is her family.

I've handled many a family in my time, Grace Cresswell.

I got you covered. OK. We'll see.

Yiayia. Good. You are here, eh?

We're here. And who is this?

This is Max. Max, this is Celina's grandmother. Yiayia.

Oh, please, please. Help yourself to food.

There's moussaka, there's salads, whatever you want.

Yiayia, you don't mess around.

Of course not. Hey, George.

Hey, Grace. Dimitri.

You made it.

Is this more food? Oh, this is nothing.

Nothing?

Eva. Hi. How you going? Hey. Good.

There's so much to do, guys. Outside, outside.

Uh, where should we put our stuff? Uh, just here is fine.

OK.

Hey, uh, just so you know, I was put on the spot by Laney.

Yeah, she does that.

Hey, she's on the way. Oh, OK.

Paithia, fiyetai apo ekei!

'Cause if I'd known that she was actually asking me...

Max... Not the time.

Roger that.

Oh, Grace, finally. Celina. Hi. How you feeling?

Oh, I'm calm. Breathing. Good.

Oh, who's this? Uh, this is Max.

He's gonna be assisting today. Oooh...

Hey, how about we, um... how about we find a quiet room

and we can check out and the bub?

Yep.

Come on, bub. Oh, I know. Oh... Oh...

Hey. Happy birthday.

Thanks.

What do you want to do today?

You want to watch a movie or something?

Dad, you don't have to hang out with me. I'm not five.

Your mum would be so proud of you, you know.

Anyway, I'll see you in a bit, birthday girl.

Dad, please don't make a... fuss...

Come on. Yeah, come on...

I'm sorry. You are nowhere close.

You're kidding.

Best thing to do - go home, have some paracetamol, get some rest.

With Tilly and Flynn running round,

Mum chasing after them, it's chaos.

Oh, well, can't Eric take them out for a bit?

We broke up about six months ago.

Oh, Martha... Are you OK?

I knew it was over after our second.

And to be honest, it's been easier without him.

Sit tight. Let me see what we can do.

We're at capacity. Where am I supposed to put her?

We'll find a way.

Christina... Sorry.

I should've made an appointment. No, no, no. No, no.

Um, it's totally fine.

How can I help?

It might be a bit late

but I've kind of fallen in love with the idea of a natural birth.

I wanted to see if I can transfer to the Birthing Centre.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, we'll have to get your medical files

but that won't be an issue,

so, welcome.

I mean, you didn't have to come all the way down here for that.

I'll just make some calls, set you up with a midwife.

I'm sure Grace is available. I'd prefer you.

Sorry?

I know it sounds crazy

but I just really want someone in the room that I trust.

What's the matter, birthday girl? You don't like your birthday shandy?

You know you don't have to put 'birthday' in front of everything?

Hey, I get one day a year, OK? One day. Let me have it.

Well, I can't drink because I'm breastfeeding.

At least it won't go to waste now. What?

Hi!

Oh, my god!

You're back! Hey.

Oh, I missed you so much! Oh, same!

Is this... Oh, my goodness!

Hello, little Eadie! Oh, and her little hands too...

Aren't you just scrumptious!

Hi, Div.

Sorry, Mr G. How are you? Good.

Is that a shandy? It is.

Go ahead. It's fine. Thank you.

We're about to hit the shops.

And then are you gonna join us for dinner?

Oh, yeah. Of course.

Alright, well, are you girls ready to hit it or what?

It's fine.

Oh, my god. I didn't even notice.

This is beautiful. Thank you.

This colour looks so good.

Alright. I see how it is. This looks so nice, though.

What the heck! I never see you in this colour.

Me in a dress? I know. Yeah, I know. Crazy. What the hell?

See you later.

Um, dinner?

Dad's gonna cook and Grace will be there, OK?

Oooh, birth mum?

I can't do it alone.

Fine. But one night there will be body shots.

Yes. Thank you. Thank you, thank you.

That's it. Just focus on your breathing.

It'll be over soon, I promise.

Nearly done.

Try and slow down your breathing.

OK? That's good. You're doing good.

Good.

You're doing so well.

Slow it down. Slow it down... Celina, eat.

Keep your energy up. Thea, I don't think she's hungry.

She's having a baby. Celina, do you want a back massage?

I just gave her one. OK, ladies.

How about we give Celina a minute, yeah?

Grace said to come back in ten. We're back in ten.

She just said that to make you go away.

God, Thea. Did you? I thought you had this.

Grace, you don't have any kids, do you?

Uh, I... I do, see... How old?

Um, 18. Today, actually.

And how come you've never mentioned a kid before?

Um, Max is a dad.

Are you still with the mum?

She wants to know if you're single.

OK, everybody, can I have your attention, please?

I appreciate that you all care for Celina

but right now what she needs is a bit of space,

so can everybody... please leave?

Ela. Ela tora.

Tha fiyoumai. Ohi. Tora.

Amesos. Exo. Fiyai.

Thank you.

- Thanks. - George, ela, re.

Come on. Get out of here.

- Thank you, George. - Coming.

Thank you.

You're welcome. Oh...

Slow that breathing down, OK? Slow it down.

Hey, it's Sophia. Leave a message.

Hey, birthday girl. Um, quick question.

Do you like cheesecake?

There's a bakery around the corner

that does an amazing blueberry cheesecake.

Um, but, you know, if you prefer chocolate, that's so fine.

Just, yeah, let me know. Send me a text.

Bye.

My daughter's 18th.

Oh. The crazies begin.

Yeah.

Thought you could use this.

Oh, thank you!

Ela tho, skatouli!

I'm sorry about my family.

None of them have what you call that, um...

Boundaries? That's the one.

No, I should be the one apologising.

No, it had to be done.

You're very lucky to have such a beautiful big family.

So are you.

And your daughter?

It's... It's complicated.

Well, I came to Australia a long time ago,

alone, with no family.

I had to make my own.

My community was my family.

And then I met Stefano and we had George.

You know, families don't always look the way you think.

Laney, this is insane.

The three of us in the same room together when my baby is born?

What were you thinking? She asked me.

What was I supposed to say? No. You say no.

Room four's scheduled to leave in an hour.

Want me to set it up for Martha? Yeah, pop her name on the board.

We'll leave her progress empty. We'll update as things get moving.

Sorry, what... What's going on?

I have a woman who's not in labour yet but she's got family issues,

so she's exhausted.

Then she should be sent home. We're not a hotel.

Uh, since when have you cared which woman goes in what room?

I'm the executive director of operations.

It's my job to care.

Yeah, we both know what this is about.

If there's no medical reason for her being here,

then she shouldn't be.

Send her home.

Hope it's going alright in there. Eh?

Mmm.

Hey, Max. Hey.

You been sent outside as well? No.

You boys good? We stay where we're told.

Move when called.

So, you're a dad, huh?

You got any advice? Uh...

Opa.

Here we go.

He's been doing this all morning. Ha.

Getting a bit nervous, are we?

No, I just want to be prepared, know what to expect.

Nothing can prepare you. Nothing.

You have a baby, your life turns upside down.

But we wouldn't have it any other way.

Right, Maxy?

Yeah... Yeah.

Excuse us. Dimitri, it's go time.

Best day of your life.

Keep going. Almost there. Almost there, OK?

OK. Alright. One long push, OK?

You're doing beautifully. One more push, OK?

That's it. Push. That's it.

Come on. You got it.

Push.

? I said you're the greatest thing ?

? That ever happened to me... ?

Oh, she's beautiful! It's a girl!

We've got a girl!

It's a girl! Oh, my god! It's a girl!

It's a girl! Hey, we've got a girl!

You've got a granddaughter.

Let's all get drinks!

? You're the greatest thing ?

? That ever happened to me ?

? And I want to thank you... ?

Oh, no, no. I'm driving.

Everything looks great.

You're just a little early. Yes.

Home until your labour establishes or your waters break, OK?

Thanks.

One sec. OK.

Hey, uh, we were sort of hoping she'd be all good to stay.

I'm not following.

We thought we'd maybe need to keep her overnight

with her blood pressure being high...

But it's not. I know. But she's exhausted.

We just need a medical reason to keep her...

So you want me to lie for you? No.

It's for Martha. She wants to stay. It's one tiny favour.

I'm not doing it.

Unfortunately, we can't technically give you a room

but we can pop you in the staff overnight room for tonight...

Oh... ..on the down-low, of course.

You're a godsend. Sasha will keep an eye on you.

And we'll pop you in a room when things start moving.

Thank you, Laney. Hey, don't thank me.

Thank Sasha.

It was her idea.

Thank you, Sasha.

Lasagne and nachos.

Yeah. Sophia wanted it one time for her birthday and it stuck.

Her mum and I made it every year.

Cheesecake? Yeah.

Well, I didn't hear back

and I thought that chocolate seemed a bit boring, so...

No, no, no, no, no... That's good. Something different.

Oh, whoa. Look at you two. You two look incredible!

Thank you. Oooh, OK. Stand together.

Oh, god, no. Come on. Come on, just one.

Just one.

And... OK, that was two.

Ready? Can we help with anything?

Uh, yeah, you could finish up the salad. Uh, dip...

There's a baguette to slice. Cool. Thank you.

This guac is gonna be good.

See? It's gonna be fine.

Surprise!

Balloons. Wow.

Oh... Oooh... I love them.

Yeah. Can't have a birthday without balloons.

They're great.

I'll take those.

Oh... I'll get it. Uh, Div, do you want to choose a birthday playlist?

That's a lot of trust, Grace.

Don't let me down. Oooh... Sorry.

- Mum. - Hello.

And Omar.

Yes, it's official. We are dating.

Can we please move on now?

Gladly. Good.

This is for Sophia. Uh, out on the back deck.

Yeah, good. Thanks for having us.

Thank you for bringing this.

Come through.

Hello!

Ah, hi. Happy birthday. Hello!

Oooh... This is for you.

Carolina. Old enough for the signature scent, I'd say.

Oh, thank you. It's a pleasure.

Hey, Sophia. Omar. Happy birthday.

This is, um, Kirk. Hey, Kirk. How you going?

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Oh, my god. Look at that. Oh, my gosh.

I think Good Girl is, like, a hot perfume.

Yeah...

This is amazing. Oh, my god.

You're not on tonight. No. Are you OK?

Yeah. I'm just, um... Just feeling a bit... What's up?

Uh, so, before you get too attached to the whole, uh, donor thing,

there's... there's something you should know.

Paul...

What?

I was hoping to have a word.

Chat tomorrow. Sure thing.

If you're gonna check the birthing board, she's not on it.

Look, I'm sorry about earlier

but hearing you'll be at the birth, it kind of smacked me...

I know that it'll be weird at first

but once things get going, you won't even notice I'm there.

But I will.

Paul...

Don't... I know. I'm...

I'm not trying to get back together.

I just... wish things were different.

Well, they're not.

You're having a baby with Christina.

And I've moved on.

Mmm. Delicious, Grace.

Thank you.

It's really good.

The lasagne and nachos is quite an interesting combo.

Was this your choice, Sophia?

Not really.

What? You want it every year.

Not since Mum died.

Oh. Sorry.

Just assumed.

Sorry... It's OK.

Dad just still thinks I'm five.

Fathers tend to be like that with their daughters.

Mmm.

But you're 18 now. Yes, she is.

Mmm?

So, what's next? Have you got any plans?

I haven't really thought past the adoption.

- Hip-hip... - Hooray!

Hip-hip... Hooray!

Make a wish. Really?

Oh, come on. Come on.

Bravo! Bravo!

So, what did you wish for?

This to end.

OK, it's present time. Dad...

And this is for...? Your new car.

Wow.

It reminds me of Herbie the Love Bug. Eh!

Mikey's fixing it up,

so by the time you learn how to drive, it'll be ready.

Oh, my god. You have to take me out for a spin.

Thanks, Dad. It's really cool.

OK. You haven't opened mine yet.

Oooh... Oh...

So, you can open it up

and put a little picture in there of someone special.

My dad got me a locket for my 18th and I loved it.

Well, actually, I bought it. He just put his name on the card.

No, you didn't.

Oh, he was very busy - with his other family.

What other family? Nothing. My dad remarried.

But she wasn't in the picture then. The divorce wasn't even finalised.

You don't talk about him much. There's not much to say, really.

Like Grace. She never mentions my birth dad.

So I wonder if she even knows who he is...

Sophia... I know who he is.

He left without a word and I never saw him again.

Let's cut the cake. Actually, Div and I are leaving.

Oh, are we?

Well, Div's only here for a night and we want to make the most of it.

Plus, I have a house full of babysitters.

You don't mind, do you?

No. Not at all.

You haven't even cut the cake.

Thanks for dinner. It was great.

Yeah, have a good night. See you.

Bye.

Keep your phone on. I want updates.

I'm going for a walk.

Back later.

Hey-hey-hey, birthday girl!

You gonna hit the town, get lit? Something like that.

Alright. Be safe.

Look at this. Everyone's here.

Actually, um, we should get going, I think.

Really?

Oh... Cheesecake.

Thanks, Grace.

Grace, I'm... I'm sorry.

We'll just, um... see ourselves out, then, alright?

Yep...

So, uh, I just finished work

and thought I'd come and grab a couple of my boxes

but... it's not a good time?

Listen to me, OK?

Tonight, Sophia Gilbert is not a mum. No!

She is young, free and totally getting checked out right now!

What?

I mean, obviously, your boobs are, like, kapow.

Stop!

Excuse me. Can we have four shots, please?

Tequila.

Ready? Yes.

Oh... Giddy up!

Let's go again. Ready?

Oh, wow!

How you going in here?

Happy? You don't have kids, do you?

Well... I'm working on it.

Oh, who's the lucky man?

No. No man. I am planning on doing it alone.

Right.

Sorry.

No, lots of women choose to do it solo.

I wasn't expecting to, is all. That is OK.

And don't get me wrong, I love it.

It just took me a bit to get used to.

I mean, Mum practically lives with me. My sister's down the road.

And friends? It's different.

There's only so many times you can call

before they question whether to pick up.

And what about you? You've got family here?

Parents are in Adelaide. Brother's in Canberra.

But I've got Grace and, I mean, she's like family.

Right. Yeah. That's good.

Good.

? Please, let me catch my breath ? ? Let me catch my breath ?

? Let me catch my... ?

Why didn't we eat?

'Cause of your mum.

Don't call her that.

Oh... You look...

Oh, I need to go.

Can you hold my hair up? Yes.

Where do you want these things? In there.

Well, that was a disaster. She practically ran out.

Listen, I'm sorry about before, OK?

You wanted this to work. We both did.

I think we just both tried a little bit too hard.

I think you're right.

I screwed dinner up.

Yeah, well, I screwed everything up, so...

No, you were great.

Where do you want this thing?

Um, it goes in here.

Hang on, hang on, hang on... Sorry, sorry, sorry...

Mum, what's wrong?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

I'm just letting you know that Sophia's here with me.

She is drunk.

Is everything OK? Sophia's at Mum's place.

She's drunk. What's the address?

No, just tell him there's no need for that.

Hang on, hang on...

I'm just about to put her to bed, let her sleep it off.

OK.

Thanks, Mum. Bye.

She's fine. She just went too hard.

We've all been there.

Yep.

Um, alright, I'm gonna go back to the hotel

and I'll speak to you tomorrow.

Yeah. Of course.

Ah. Had quite the night last night.

I don't want to think about it.

How's Eadie?

Oh, she's good. She's with Grace.

It's weird not having to get up during the night.

I doubt you could've.

God, I'm sorry about last night.

I must've... drunk too fast or something.

That's alright. I understand.

Everyone's acting like it's normal.

Well, it sort of is, really.

Mum should be here.

I mean, it's my 18th.

I just miss her so much.

I'm really sorry, Sophia.

It's fine.

Could you stomach an omelette?

Mmm. Yeah. That'd be good.

Good.

Did you know my dad?

Uh, yeah.

Can you tell me who he is?

I don't actually think this is the kind of conversation...

She won't talk about him.

Well, she will...

when she's ready.

Big night, huh? Yeah. I think I ate something weird.

Eh, so, the reason, uh, I came in last night was I wanted to talk...

Oh, yeah. Hey, about that, hey, listen, I'm thinking maybe not.

The whole donor situation. Oooh.

Yeah, I just think I need to slow down, get my ducks in order.

It's all moving a bit fast.

Right. Yeah.

But thank you for considering it.

Oh... No, I thought it was all hypothetical anyway, so I...

I wasn't really, um...

Did I do something?

Believe it or not, Max, this isn't about you.

No, yeah, of course.

I, uh... I realised that I want to be a dad with a partner,

like a real dad, next time I have a kid.

Good. Yeah.

So, we're good, then? Oh, yeah.

OK. OK.

Oh, you are a baby whisperer.

That tip you gave - he actually slept.

Yeah? How about you?

Oh, a couple of hours, broken into ten-minute intervals.

So, um, Omar, is he, uh... Dating my mother?

So, I'm not crazy! Yep.

He's a brave man.

Well, that's the last of your stuff.

So, what, you were actually gonna chuck these out?

You haven't played golf in years. And...?

Jeez.

So, uh, how was the rest of your night?

It's hard to be a mother when you're not one.

I know, right? Parenting! It hasn't even been a week.

Yeah, well, it feels like a lifetime.

It's open! Alright, well, I'll, um...

I'll come back for the rest of this stuff.

You're not gonna use them. You don't know that.

Oh, hey. Here he is.

You must be, uh, Sophia's dad.

Yeah. Kirk. Yeah. Jim.

The ex.

So, uh, how'd you go last night?

Aren't the Creswell family dinners a treat?

Yeah, it was, um, very eventful.

Cool.

Well, um, I should probably get to work, Jim, so...

Yeah. Rightio.

So, I'll take Eadie. Yeah.

Mmm...

And her stuff?

Uh, it's at the front door.

Front door. OK. So, we'll... chat later.

Yeah. Yeah. Mmm.

Good to meet you, Jim. You too, mate.

Come on, baby. Hello.

Seems like a nice bloke.

Contractions are long and strong. Labour's moving quickly.

Good. How are you feeling, Martha?

Good. Glad it's finally happening.

Everything is tracking along nicely.

Are you OK? Yeah. Long night.

How is your pain?

Fine.

Oh, no, I'm not.

Yep. No, I'm not.

Sit there. Oh...

It's alright. Oh...

Got it?

In...

..and out.

Hey, Sasha, do you mind...

I'll be right back.

Yeah. No worries.

? Saturday night, living the dream ?

? Ordering drinks ? ? with your brother's ID ?

? Pretending we like ? ? someone's girlfriend's band ?

? Put on our boots, carry our heels ?

? Stumbling home over the field ?

? Gin from a bottle stolen from her dad ?

? You smoke to choke the feeling ?

? Till the walls don't need ? ? a ceiling... ?

Oh, shit.

? All we talk about is leaving ?

? All that I know is ? ? No matter how far away ?

? This is the place ? ? we were made... ?

OK.

Martha, looks like you're ready to start pushing.

Are you OK? Yeah. Don't worry about me.

OK, Martha. Good to go?

Yeah.

Alright, hold onto me.

We're all here for you.

We've done this before.

Oh... Nice deep breaths.

When you're ready to push... you know what to do.

That's it. You got this.

Big push.

Big push. Oh...

Oh, wow.

? Painting our face, straighten my hair ?

? Wait for the bus, take us somewhere ? ? Anywhere, as far away from home... ?

Oh...

? We're playing poker down in a shed ? ? Talking about boys now we call ex ?

? Freezing cold ? ? and we don't even know... ?

? All we talk about is leaving ?

? All that I know is ? ? No matter how far away ?

? This is the place we were made ?

? I know every streetlight ? ? And maybe the colours will fade ?

? This is the place we were made ?

? By the late nights ? ? and fires on the beach ?

? Made by... ? ? Laney. ?

? The small-town secrets we'd keep ?

? All that I know is ? ? No matter how far away... ?

She's perfect.

? This is the place we were made. ?

Heard you had a visitor in the overnight room.

I see you ignored everything I said.

I chose not to listen.

Good outcome, nonetheless. Surprise, surprise.

Sash, I'm sorry. You've just never done something like that before.

Yeah, well, this is the new and improved Sasha...

that speaks in third person.

You saw me breaking the rules.

I saw us giving a single mother some TLC

before she pushed her third baby out.

If we can help, we do it.

OK. I hear you and I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Also, I'm banning myself from the Birthing Centre.

What?

You guys do things differently here

and you're definitely going to ask me to do something I don't want to do

and I'm probably going to do it because...

I'm in love with you.

So, I'm going to leave before you ask me to do some other crazy thing.

But I'll see you tonight?

Sasha says that you will.

Oh! This is a nice surprise.

What time did she call you? About 11:00.

Why didn't you call me sooner? Grace, she's 18.

She got shitfaced. It happens.

Look, I'm really sorry about last night.

I wanted it to be perfect for everyone and I so blew it...

Mum, it's fine. Just... Is she OK?

She... She's missing her mother. You may have contributed.

I didn't even think.

I just was so focused on making her day special.

Oh, well, that's motherhood.

Sometimes things blow up in your face

despite your best intentions.

And she asked about her father again this morning.

Well, I told her the truth. What else can I say?

What's going on?

You may not have told her the whole... truth.

Sorry?

It was never gonna be the right time to tell you this.

In my defence, it was a very brief conversation.

I certainly wasn't expecting him to disappear.

What are you talking about?

I had a word to Rohan about you before he left.

What?

You were wagging school, you were dropping classes...

Mum...

You were going down a very weird road with that boy...

What did you do? ..and I...

I simply told him that if he really cared about you, he would...

back off a bit, that's all.

Just let you focus, you know.

I had no idea you were pregnant.

So, this whole time, I've hated him...

I felt that I had no other choice but to give up my daughter...

He still left you, Grace... Because of you!

Grace... Just...

Just... don't!

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

Some stuff came up. Are you good to go?

I'm not coming.

Sorry?

I never should've found you.

After my mum died, I thought, you know, if I met you,

maybe I'd feel better.

But I don't.

I just want my mum

and you acting like her, it...

So, I'm staying with Diane...

until the adoption's over.

Here?

Yeah.

Dad will pick up my stuff.

Sorry.

Oh... That's fine.

Whatever you need.

I'm sorry that it's been so confusing.

But if you want to stay here, then...

And if you change your mind... I won't.

..well, you know where to find me.

I'm sorry for just... showing up at the Birthing Centre that day.

I shouldn't have done that.
