I slept with Simon.

When the baby is born, I want a paternity test.

This is Jack's baby.

Oh, come on, Meg.

We both know the dates add up.

No.

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

I also know your wife is pregnant.

End the affair now or I'll tell Meghan.

I accept I'm probably the father.

You are.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

They're letting him come home.

Isn't it great?

Hayden is going to be with you at the birth.

AGGIE: Hello, everyone.

This is Rory.

He's sleepy right now, but I'll send pics soon.

I'm exhausted, but so, so happy.

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

To my little boy.

You are due tomorrow.

I have worried constantly about you,

but all the scans say that you are healthy and strong.

I know most mothers like to write lists

about things they want for their kids,

but I'm not really one for lists.

I rely a lot on guesswork,

and thankfully, most of the time,

it seems to work out.

But I do promise you these things.

I'm going to say some things that I don't mean.

I will say no

when I probably should say yes.

But I vow, when I make a mistake,

I will apologise.

Most importantly,

I will love you unconditionally.

Even if you vote conservative,

or barrack for Collingwood,

or forget to call me on my birthday.

I can't wait to meet you...

[CAMERA CLICKS]

...my little boy.

I'll see you very soon.

Love, Mum.

PS, if you scoot over just a little bit

and stop kicking my kidneys,

I will buy you a puppy.

[COMPUTER CHIMES]

Hello, everyone.

This is Rory.

He's sleepy right now, but I'll send pics soon.

I'm exhausted, but so, so happy.

MEGHAN: "Congratulations. He is beautiful!

"I want all of the details. How was the labour?

"Call me when you get a chance.

"Best wishes, Meghan."

I'm not available right now.

-Leave me a message. -[CHIME SOUNDS]

Aggie, I don't know what to do.

Mum's beside herself. She wants to call the police.

[MOBILE PHONE CHIMES]

It's her.

She's had the baby.

A little boy named Rory.

Rory!

Rory, Mum.

Is... Is that a coincidence,

or did you tell her about Grandad?

Well, I told her. [CHUCKLES]

What else does she say?

"I'll explain everything when I see you.

"Right now I need to rest.

"I'm coming home soon. Please let me sleep."

Aww.

She knew you were coming home.

Why didn't she just give you an address?

-Rory, Mum! -[LAUGHS]

-Rory! -Oh, darling.

[HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

AGGIE: I've got cash.

WOMAN: Room 12. Out the back.

[HAUNTING MUSIC CONTINUES]

JACK: That was delicious.

Mmm, I'm glad you liked it.

I have stocked six containers in the freezer

for when I'm in hospital.

Oh, you didn't have to do that.

You know I can cook takeaway any time.

Oh, yes.

Do you wish I wasn't having a cesar?

No. I'd rather you were safe.

It won't be the same, though. Be all clinical.

Ahh, it is what it is.

-Stop worrying. -[EXHALES]

[MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES]

Who's that?

I told you about her.

-Mmm? -She's English.

She works at the supermarket.

So, are we gonna let all your fans and followers

-She's my friend. -Uh-huh.

-[DOG BARKS] -Zorro!

Oh, I see what's happened. The bird bath fell over.

Probably a possum. You want me to have a quick look around?

[DOG BARKS]

I hate to tell you this, babe,

but your bird bath self-destructed.

-How? -Possum, I think.

Must have been a big possum.

Yeah. Well, we'll get a new one.

I can't sleep yet, so I'm gonna go downstairs.

I'll... I'll stay up with you.

No, no, it's fine.

[SIGHS] Oh, no, I was just upstairs,

but I'm breathless all the time now.

Where are you? Why are you whispering?

Er, the baby's asleep.

Oh, congratulations.

Thank you.

[MEGHAN CHUCKLES]

You said to call.

I hope you weren't just being polite.

No, of course not.

We're on the same ride at the same time.

We're bonded for life.

[OMINOUS MUSIC BUILDS]

MEGHAN: How is the new arrival?

-Beautiful. -Aww! He arrived early.

Well, I wanted to beat you to it.

[LAUGHS] I want all the gory details.

Are you sure about that?

Uh-huh.

Well, it only took six hours,

which isn't that long, I guess.

Oh, my God! Now you're just showing off.

And when the baby was crowning,

I looked down and realised I had my shoes on,

and I thought, "Oh, my God,

"I am not giving birth with my shoes on."

Oh, dear.

So, yeah, that was funny.

I love the name Rory.

Did Hayden make it back in time?

No, he only got off the plane this morning.

Oh, that's such a shame.

Is he gonna go to Katoomba to be with you?

My mum doesn't have the space for him,

and I'll be back in a day or so.

[OMINOUS MUSIC BUILDS]

I'm going in tomorrow.

Are you nervous?

Mmm, a little.

-[TRAIN ROARS] -[GASPS]

Are you near a train line?

Er, yeah, my mum's house is right on it.

One went past here at the exact same time.

It sounds like you were right outside.

[OMINOUS MUSIC BUILDS]

[LAUGHS]

Are you tired?

[YAWNS]

Now you really are spying on me.

I heard you yawn.

Mmm, yep, I am exhausted,

but I don't think I'm gonna get any sleep tonight.

Well, I'll let you go.

Mmm. Thank you for calling.

I can't wait for our babies to meet.

Me neither.

Can you make sure Grace doesn't feed them crap.

-And stays off Tinder? -[MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES]

Hello.

[MEGHAN BREATHES HEAVILY]

I'll call him back.

Stop calling my wife.

[LAUGHS]

-Yeah, no, it's today. -Hey, I'm going. Come on.

Um... Oh, thanks! I will.

I'll pass that on. All right, gotta go. Bye!

He just wanted to wish you luck with the baby.

Oh, that's...nice of him.

He is a nice guy. All right!

OK, bye!

-I'll be back. -LUCY: Bye, Mummy!

Hey, Grace, whatever Meg said,

I want you to know I do want this baby.

Are you happy with everything?

Um... Yeah. Extremely, thank you.

Great. I was looking for Jack.

Jack?

He promised me a testimonial for my next brochure.

I'm following up.

Uh... Yeah, he's not here right now,

um, and we're to go to the hospital today.

So, it'll probably have to wait

till after the baby's born.

Oh! Gosh, yes. I won't hold you up.

But tell Jack to give me a call.

Yeah, no problem.

JACK: Shit! Fuck!

What are you doing at my house?

What did you say to her?

Relax. I only said I wanted to see you

about the testimonial.

I've been calling and texting.

All right, forget about that. I can't do it.

I need this, Jack. My competitors are killing me.

Whoever put that note on my windscreen,

if they see me spruiking your business,

they're gonna go straight to Meg, OK?

I'm trying to put everything I got

back unto my marriage.

Look, this isn't how

I saw things playing out either.

[HORN HONKS]

I'm not gonna risk my marriage and my family

waiting for the birth?

-No, she's already had him. -What?

Yeah, she had the baby.

That's impossible. She hasn't told me.

Better give her a ring.

Yeah, good luck. Her phone's been off.

Well, I've got spare keys. Come on down.

and this little man got a nine out of ten.

You know, that's an Olympic medal

on the Apgar scale for my son.

Well done, you.

Right, mate, you ready to meet Aunty Grace?

Hi!

-Oh. -Oh, yes, hello!

Oh, my gosh, look at you, little heartbreaker.

God, he looks just like Mum.

That's hilarious!

I think he looks like Jack.

By which she means devastatingly handsome.

LUCY: Let's kiss him!

-Oh, OK, just gentle. -Yeah!

-Come in. -Oh, that's nice.

Not too much of a good thing.

LUCY: I can't see him. I'll kiss him!

Yeah, but if you kiss him too much,

you'll kiss his face off!

All right, all right, all right,

all right, all right, shh!

OK, hey, hey, who's hungry?

-LACHIE: Me. -Let's go and have a look.

LACHIE: Yeah! JACK: Come on, let's go.

Come on.

LACHIE: Daddy, get us chocolate.

MEGHAN: I knew everything would be fine

once he was here.

Jack's in love with him already.

GRACE: Mmm-hmm.

-Please don't mention Simon. -I didn't, but now you have.

He doesn't really look like Jack.

Well, he doesn't look like Simon either.

What are you gonna do about the DNA test?

I'll worry about that tomorrow.

Please just let me have today.

[SIREN WAILS]

LUCY: Aunty Grace, can I go in the front seat of the car?

-Hey! -LUCY: Uncle Simon!

Hello! How you doing?

-Hey! -GRACE: Hey.

-We have a baby! -Do you?

Hey, guys, can you go finish your chips over there

so that they don't mess up my car?

Thank you!

What are you doing here?

The same as you.

No. They've just had the baby,

so they just need a little bit of space.

Jack knows I'm coming.

Yeah, but he doesn't know why, does he?

She told you.

Er... She told me that you're causing trouble.

So much for keeping secrets.

Oh, we're sisters,

so, we tell each other everything.

Then did she tell you who the father is?

It's Jack.

I don't need you going in there

and giving him the reason to doubt that.

This is between Meg and myself.

And your best friend, and their baby,

and their children, and their marriage.

Listen, if you thought there was a chance

that a baby was yours,

you would want to know too.

[PLASTIC RUSTLES]

Please don't tell me

you brought a DNA kit with you.

I warned her.

Simon, don't be a dick!

-This is not the time... -We're finished.

Can we take Uncle Simon to see our baby?

Uh, no, Uncle Simon is gonna leave, actually. Aren't you?

Uncle Simon is gonna come back another day.

-Another day. -Mmm, OK.

-Say goodbye. Let's go. -Bye!

-SIMON: Bye. -No, we're gonna go this way.

LUCY: Can we go to the zoo tomorrow?
