MEGHAN: We didn't plan to have another child.

This is our oops baby.

AGGIE: When are you due?

MEGHAN: Early June. AGGIE: Same.

Do you know what you're having?

Boy or girl?

-Boy. -Me too.

JACK: Did you hear next-door's

dog going off again last night?

MEGHAN: Yeah. JACK: I don't know

what's setting it off. It's doing it more and more.

Simon. No, I'm stoked you're coming back.

-When are you due? -Terrifyingly soon.

This is as much your baby as it is mine.

I don't want a baby.

RENEE: Hayden's still got a bit of growing up to do.

He'll do the right thing by you.

You told your sister that I don't want a third child.

That's because you don't, Jack.

Do you realise how fucked we are, financially, right now?

Friends of ours live next door that way.

Do you mean Jack and Meghan?

Well, I sold them the house last year.

JACK: I've come home early to have sex with my wife.

Don't worry about minding Leo.

AGGIE: He's fine. He's no problem.

-You're bleeding. -Hmm?

WOMAN: How many weeks?

Your pregnancy.

I don't know.

You still haven't told us your name.

Can you spell it for me?

I can't have kids.

It looks like you're pregnant, though.

I... I wasn't gonna jump.

Pop the gown on.

I'm going to get another doctor to come and see you.

[OMINOUS MUSIC BUILDS]

You're not changed?

I need the loo, really bad. It's urgent.

It's down the corridor.

Um, she's just going to the toilet.

LEO: I've got a baby sister!

I can see that. Isn't she gorgeous?

Oh, well done!

[KISSES]

Thanks.

I told Kev to knock on your door when we got home,

but you weren't in.

Have you decided on a name?

JULES: Thinking of Violet.

-Oh, that's so pretty! -Mmm.

So, tell me all about it. I want all the gory details.

Well, it was easier than the first time.

There's some pics if you wanna see.

Oh!

Six hours, which is pretty quick.

I was already in full labour when we got to the hospital.

Then, as the baby was crowning,

I realised I still had my shoes on.

-Ahh. -And I was like,

"No way am I giving birth with my shoes on."

I'm sending myself a couple of these.

Oh, yeah, go for it.

So, I had Kev on one foot and some midwife on the other,

undoing my shoes.

Midwife said I was a good pusher.

Kevin was great.

You'll be glad when Hayden gets here.

Are you still bleeding?

No!

-Are you bleeding? -No!

I spilled something on my clothes

and Leo thought it was blood.

Oh.

Now, Mummy needs to rest, so I'm gonna put her to bed,

and we'll watch some TV, OK?

LEO: OK.

[MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES]

Hello?

SIMON: [PHONE] Hey. It's Simon.

Yeah, hi.

Bad time?

Kind of. I'm just... I'm going into an appointment.

OK, I'll make it quick.

I'm, uh...I'm sorry if I was inappropes around the kids.

I'll try and behave.

Yeah, uh, don't worry about it.

Um, sorry, I can't talk in the waiting room.

OK, but you're cool if I drop round and see Jack?

Yeah. Yeah. You're being paranoid.

OK.

Mrs Shaughnessy? Dr Phillips will see you now.

Um, they're calling me. I've gotta go. Sorry. Bye.

Bye.

-[KNOCKING ON WINDOW] -Hey!

Hey. [LAUGHS]

-JACK: Pitched it. -Eh?

Smashed it!

-You had a great coach. -Ahh!

-Congrats, Muscles. -Thanks, mate.

What do you reckon the contract's worth on that,

if they commission it, half a million?

Well, you could ask.

Should we workshop that later?

Lunch? My shout.

-Your shout? -Yes.

I'll celebrate that. Screw the pitch.

[CAMERA CLICKS]

[CAMERA CLICKS]

-[TV SILENCES] -Oh!

I wasn't bleeding. Listen to me.

I spilled something, and it's wrong to lie!

[TV PLAYS CARTOONS]

OK.

[HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

JULES: Aggie?

Aggie?

Where's Aggie?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS]

-What are you doing? -Oh... She's with me.

I was putting the flowers in some water

and she started crying,

so I brought her in here so she wouldn't disturb you.

OK. Well, I'm awake now... and your dress is undone.

Oh! I'd forget my head.

Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine, but I've got to get to work.

I've got a shift.

Can I go see the ducks, Mummy?

No, baby, we're just going to the shops.

[MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES]

Hey.

Hey, hon. How was the appointment?

-Are you sitting down? -Mmm.

My caesar's been brought forward.

We're having a baby next Thursday.

Wow.

Is that necessary, or Dr Phillips

is just playing a round of golf?

Well, my blood pressure is off the charts, apparently.

Hi, Meg!

-Are you with Simon? -Yeah, yeah.

Do you want me to come home?

No. It's fine.

We're just celebrating a good pitch.

Ahh. That's nice.

I'm at the supermarket.

Look, have a good lunch. I'm glad the pitch went well.

Thanks, hon. Love you.

She said to say hi.

Thank you.

OK, stay close. I'm only gonna be a minute.

-AGGIE: Hi, Meghan. -Oh, hi.

Lachie?

It's not funny.

Lachie? Sorry!

Lachie! Lachie!

Lachie?

Uh, little boy? He's... he's four!

-Stay calm. -Lachie?

Lachie?

Lachie!

Excuse me. Have you seen my son?

He's in a stripy jumper!

-No, I haven't seen him. -Lachie?

[SCREAMS] Lachie?

Meghan? He's here. I've got him.

MEGHAN: Oh! There you are!

Where were you? I was calling for you.

He was in the storeroom.

Why were you in the storeroom?

My car.

AGGIE: He must have wandered in.

Were you hiding from me?

-I couldn't get out. -OK, OK.

The door must have closed behind him.

He's fine, aren't you?

Oh, God! Thank you!

Oh, God. [BREATHES HEAVILY]

I hope this one will be a little easier

to keep track of.

We're both giving birth to Geminis.

It is a wandering sign.

[LAUGHS]

-Don't forget your shopping. -Oh, thank you.

Need any other help?

No, I'm being helped,

-thank you. -Mmm.

We should go for a coffee sometime,

since we're both giving birth to Geminis.

Yeah, I'd love that.

-Thank you. -OK.

OK, come on.

[HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

MEGHAN: Thank you.

[MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES]

Hello?

SIMON: Hello. Is everything OK?

Yeah. Why?

Well, I was there when Jack called you.

He said you're having the baby early.

Yeah, well, I didn't know you were having lunch.

I would have spared you the update on my uterus.

Fair enough.

Is that why you're calling?

Oh, you couldn't talk before.

So, I thought I'd call back

and make sure the air is clear.

Yeah. It's clear.

Doesn't really feel like it.

OK, maybe I don't love the idea

of Jack regressing right now.

When you're around, he starts thinking he's single again.

It was better when you were gone...

to be totally honest.

Is that all it's about? 'Cause I can fix that.

-GRACE: Hello? -[DOOR OPENS]

MEGHAN: I've gotta go. My sister's here.

What's a uterus?

I'm not sure. Maybe Mum knows.

No idea.

I think I just need to face facts.

Before drinking, I swipe left, swipe left, swipe left.

You know, my standards are high, is what I'm saying.

You know, I don't just sleep with anyone,

but if I'm honest, when the animal comes out,

the horny sex animal, I swipe right,

because when the middle-class bullshit goes away...

[GASPING AND MOANING]

Thank you for the judgy silence!

If you really want my opinion,

you can improve your website with...

Will you shut up, Grace?

I slept with Simon.

[STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Jack and I had this massive fight.

We'd been arguing nonstop.

This night, he said some things that were just...

He said he wanted out of the marriage.

Then he just walked out.

So, I went over to Simon's house

to find out if Jack had said anything to him about us.

I just wanted to understand. I was so devastated.

So, we talked.

Had some wine.

And you had an affair.

I didn't have an affair. It was one time.

Afterwards, we agreed that it never happened.

[HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

So, could this be Simon's baby?

-I don't know. -But he's calling you.

So, he's obviously wondering

the same thing. Do you want me

-to talk to him? -No.

I'm really good at getting men to back off...

No. No, no, Grace, please, no.

You've been carrying this around this whole time.

Yeah.

Megs, what are you gonna do? Are you gonna tell Jack?

[CAR DOOR SLAMS]

[DOOR SLAMS, KEYS JANGLE]

Jack?

Hey.

Hey.

What's going on?

Well, they loved my pitch.

They wanna combine it with

this other thing they've been developing.

Um... Vadhika Chopra's gonna host it.

She's on the Lifestyle Channel.

She's got boobs.

Vadhika Chopra.

Hashtag diversity.

Hashtag thanks for the great pitch, Jack.

Now fuck off.

OK, OK.

And I'm not that guy that gets jealous of a woman succeeding.

She's real smart, but she knows zero about sport,

but it just... it just would have made

such a difference to us right now, you know?

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.

Ahh.

That's what I get for buying into the idea

they'd ever let me be an anchor.

I'll always be a roving mic.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey.

Your turn will come.

How's everything with your... blood pressure?

Dr Phillips says I'm stressed.

What's there to be stressed about?

Mmm.

Are we ready for number three next week?

Yeah. Course we are.

-I love your optimism. -Mmm.

Or is it denial?

I gotta go to bed.

[HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[DOG BARKING]

[HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Deep breath. Hands coming together.

And coming down over your heart.

Thank yourself today for your practice,

and namaste.

WOMEN: Namaste.

MEGHAN: Thank you. Great class.

-WOMAN: My pleasure. -God, I really needed it.

You're doing well.

Hey!

I haven't seen you here before.

I usually can't make this class,

but I've done my last shift at the supermarket.

Ahh, congratulations!

My God! We could be twins.

Yeah, except I do yoga like a hippo.

That makes two of us.

Do you wanna get that coffee?

My house is just around the corner.

Sure.

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

MEGHAN: Katoomba via London, huh?

Yeah, but that's the only travelling I've done,

other than running away to the city when I was 16.

-Really? -Yeah.

I just got on a train and that was that.

Why did you leave home?

Stuff.

The whole blended family thing didn't work out for me.

Same. My mum remarried as well.

I just never wanna do that to my kids.

No. I hated my stepdad.

He was just very religious. Jehovah's Witness.

Oh.

But I loved my brother, my ste... my half-brother.

Is it just the two of you?

Yeah. He died.

-Oh! -Yeah.

What happened to him?

Car accident.

Oh! I'm so sorry.

That's OK. Got my own family now.

Yeah. You deserve it, Aggie.

Is Hayden gonna be home for the birth?

I hope so.

Still waiting to hear from the navy

whether they give him the time off.

God, you must be frantic.

It's just the way that it is.

Gotta get used to it when you're a sailor's wife.

Yep.

-Oh! -Oh, shit!

-Uh, we should probably run. -Yeah!

-Arggh! Are you OK? -Yeah.

Don't slip, don't slip.

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

Let's get out of these wet clothes.

It's alright. I can change when I get home.

-Here. -Thanks.

Here, take this. You can keep it.

I get so many freebies through the website.

Do you have a bathroom or...

Oh! Yeah, sorry.

Oh! Thanks.

Two kids, you forget what privacy is.

There's a hairdryer if you need it.

Thanks.

Does Lucy like going to school at St Osmond's?

How did you know she goes there?

I've seen her in her uniform.

You've seen Lucy?

At the supermarket.

Oh! Of course. Sorry.

This is lovely. Thank you.

What was that you were saying earlier about a website?

Oh, Mucky Kids.

I'm just a glorified mummy blogger,

but I get lots of free stuff.

I'll give you a bag before you go.

Really?

Yeah, yeah. We should keep in touch too.

I wanna know how you get on.

-Here, put your number in. -Sure.

My caesarean's been moved forward.

What? Why?

Uh, complications. I'm not too posh to push.

So, you're booked in?

Yeah, Thursday at St Adeline's.

But that's less than a week away.

I know.

How am I gonna get everything ready before Thursday?

[HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[CENTRAL LOCKING BEEPS]

[HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[LAUGHTER]

[HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Sorry, um...

Just one more time.

I can't, I can't.

I got a baby on the way.

[SIGHS]

I'm gonna miss our games of tennis.

Me too.

Maybe we should try a real game sometime.

You would whoop my arse.

You've been good for my ego.

-Really? -Yeah.

I didn't train all those years just to end up selling houses.

At least you really were a champion.

You'll always have that.

I'm a shit.

If this is it, I do have one last favour to ask.

I need a testimonial for some flyers and my website.

A quote from Jack Shaughnessy would be... appealing.

Sure.

[HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

AGGIE: Dear Jack, I know you're having an affair.

I have photographs of you and her together.

I also know your wife is pregnant.

End the affair now or I'll tell Meghan, arsehole.

[HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

I got your text. What's up?

Well, you're in trouble now.

-Hi. -Hi!

RENEE: I know I should have called,

but I... well, I really wanted to surprise you.

Thank goodness for Jules.

She found me on your doorstep

and let me practice my grandma skills on Violet.

She's a real pro.

So, how did you find me?

Well, Hayden told me.

Right. So, why am I in trouble?

Oh, you're not! I was just razzing on you.

-Oh! -[LAUGHTER]

Now, I came to give you the big news.

Well, Hayden spoke to Family Liaison,

and they're letting him come home.

-Isn't it great? -What?

And Hayden is going to be with you at the birth.

-Oh, whoa! Oopsie! -Just sit down. [LAUGHS]

She's a bit overwhelmed.

It's the shock and the joy combined.

-When will he be home? -Wednesday.

Oh, my God!

JULES: Isn't it amazing?

He's gonna be home on Wednesday.

I'm so happy for you.

[HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

SIMON: Not your best effort, mate. Are you right? Eh?

Oh!

I haven't been looking after Meg.

Why not?

I just can't see a way through this, you know?

-Can't support all of us. -You'll be right.

Me and Meg, we're...

we're either fighting or we're being nice to each other.

It's like this loop we can't get out of.

And I've been messed up about her getting pregnant.

Yeah.

You know, we only had unprotected sex once.

Fucking crazy. Once!

Maybe it's not your baby.

[LAUGHS] That's funny.

No, I'm pretty sure it is, mate.

Yeah, no, I gotta sort my shit out. Step up.

You certainly gotta, uh...

you gotta step up your tennis game, that's for sure.

-More humour. -[LAUGHTER]

Whatever.

MEGHAN: Can you feel bubba?

[LACHIE WHISPERS]

Are you telling the baby a secret? I see.

[MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES]

OK, time to hop off.

MEGHAN: [PHONE] It's Meghan. Leave me a message.

[BEEP]

Hey, it's, um... it's Simon.

Hey, um... I'm sorry for chasing you,

but I've... I've got this feeling...

in my gut.

And I don't wanna hurt you or Jack.

But I need to know if the baby's mine.

Please call me back.

Are you crying, Mummy?

No, I'm not.

Your eye.

Oh. It's just leaking a little bit.

Stop making Mummy cry, OK?

MEGHAN: Oh, thank you. [KISSES]

-Jack's back at the studio. -SIMON: I know.

The kids are asleep.

Well, you're not returning my calls.

I've asked you to respect my boundaries.

The more you try and avoid this conversation,

the more worried I am...

You do not... you don't get to barge in here, into my house!

You barged into mine.

No.

You need to stop. You need to stop calling me.

You need to stop texting me.

[TAP RUNS]

-No. -[TAP SILENCES]

I am not trying to hurt anyone...

but when the baby is born, I want a paternity test.

This is Jack's baby.

Oh, come on, Meg. We know the dates.

-They add up. -No.

No, and I had my period after being with you.

-I don't believe that! -Then that's your problem!

I only have the vaguest memories of my father.

He is a man banging at a door,

begging my mother to let him inside, and shouting.

I told myself, I don't care if I don't have a dad.

There are lots of kids that grow up in broken families.

Simon...

But after my mother died,

I found a suitcase full of letters he had written to me.

Birthday cards.

Christmas cards.

So, this is about your father.

It's about you, Meghan.

It always has been.

You know I'm in love with you.

[GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS]

Can a court demand that a woman have a paternity test

on a newborn baby?

Depends. Is it the husband demanding the test?

No. Third party.

Far out, hon. What have you done?

No, no! It's not... it's not me.

I find it hard to imagine a court

ordering a paternity test

if both the husband and wife agree

that they're the parents.

OK. Great.

The fact that someone is questioning paternity means,

one way or another, it's a horror show

for everyone involved.

Darling, are you being blackmailed?

What would you suggest?

Your friend has to tell her husband.

Husbands can surprise you.
