[theme music playing]

[Julie] Pregnant
at this stage in my life.

Not something I'd planned.

Already the mother
to three grown-ups.

Eldest 25, youngest, 21.

What lies in store.

One thing for sure...nappies.

[Nathan] Of course
it's amazing.

But have you decided
what you're gonna do?

[Sammy] Are you gonna keep it?

Of course they are.

Right, Mom?
You are, aren't you?

Look, it's not an easy
decision to make.

There's other factors at play.

Such as...

Well, you know, I'm a lot
older for a start.

But your dad's right.
It's a big decision.

And we know you're all
gonna have

different perspectives on it.

Well, from my perspective

it is fantastic.

I think what mom's trying
to say

is that it's her perspective
that counts.

Hers and dad's.

I wasn't saying that
as some kind of edict.

[Julie] Oh, no.
We know that, darling.

[Dave] Look, we're just
telling you so that you know

and you can give us
all the space we need

-to make a decision.
-There's no worries.

You just take all
the space you need, Dad.

-Thanks, Nathan.
-You're welcome.

[laughter]

Right. Well, that's you
lot up to speed.

What time did you say
Ben was getting here?

That's awesome! This is...
this is amazing!

Congratulations!
Good on you.

I don't even want to know
how it happens.

That's totally gross.

Bet you guys are feeling
pretty stupid now, eh?

Contraception,
you ever hear of that?

All those lectures
you gave me in high school.

Not so smart now, are you?

Mm, that's enough
out of you thanks.

-It's crazy, right?
-Yeah, probably.

-Yeah.
-Yeah. Look,

we just wanna keep
you in the loop.

Now we're gonna go for a walk
and clear our heads.

Yeah, that's a good idea
and hey don't worry

about dinner.
We've got it.

Oh. Oh, and listen

if anyone sees grandad,
don't mention this.

We want to tell him ourselves.

You know what
he's gonna say about it.

Yeah, that's why
I wanna handle it.

[Rachel] Okay,
our lips are sealed.

This is unreal!
Isn't it incredible?

Mom's gonna have it
though, won't she?

Oh, yeah.

Well, how can you be so sure?

Oh, because she's mom.

Yeah. Hey I got to go.

Uh, front door's that way.

Yeah. No...
I came over the fence.

Hey, did you see a guy
hanging out, out the front?

Looks like a bit of a tosser?

Well, don't know about tosser

but there was a guy
out there

with a truly hot car.

Yeah. That's ah Melissa's
ex-fiance.

[dramatic music playing]

-Is he still out there?
-[Ben] Yeah.

[Carbo] Joke's on him then.
He'll be waiting for a while.

No, she'll be here any sec.

She's coming for the date,
remember?

[Carbo] Well, let's tell him
to rack off then.

If he's got a problem
with it, we can take him.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Cause Mel
would really go for that.

Oh, what are you
gonna do then?

I don't know.
What can I do?

-Well, she's your girlfriend.
-[Ben] Well, technically

we're not still together,
so if she wants

to talk to her ex,
I can't really stop her.

Oh, you're taking
the Mr. Sensitive approach.

-Very impressive, Benno.
-[Ben] Hey, here she comes.

Come on. Come, come,
come, come.

I'd have called
but your bodyguard

wouldn't cough up
your phone number.

What are you doing here,
Shannon?

I heard you came to Perth.

Saw pretty much everyone
but me.

You left me standing there

at the church in front

of both of our families.

Do you know
what that felt like?

[Carbo] He's kind of fit.

What did you say
he was again?

Some kind of runner
or something?

[Ben] No, he's a footballer.

Serious? What team?

[Ben] Who cares what team.

[Carbo] Well,
if it was premier league--

Shut up, okay?
I want to hear this.

One card in two years.

We weren't just engaged,
Melissa.

We were best mates.

Okay, you've had your chat
now piss off, Sharon.

They almost got married.
They've got a lot

-to catch up on.
-Yeah, you're not helping.

What are you worrying about?
Mel's back with you now,

-isn't she?
-[Ben] What do you reckon?

Compare the two of us.
He looks like Colin Farrell

and plays premier league
soccer.

[Melissa] But I would change
the way I did it.

That was wrong.

And if there was any way
I could make it up to you I--

There is, uh, one way.

To have dinner with me.
No strings.

I just think we need
to talk properly.

You owe me that at least.

-I can't tonight.
-Well, then, tomorrow night.

Okay.

Never thought I'd say this...

but it is good to see you.

-[Ben] Yeah, they're done.
-[Carbo] I reckon.

Come on let's go.

[dramatic music playing]

I just don't think
this arrangement's

doing it for me. It needs
a bit of kangaroo paw.

-Yeah.
-[Carbo] Or you know

for a bit of color balance.
Texture.

-[Ben] Yeah.
-Hi, Mel.

Hi. The door was open.

Are you okay?

Where's Shannon?

Um, he had to get back.

-Back to Perth?
-To his hotel.

Uh, right.
So are you all right?

Um, I don't know.

Uh, weren't you looking
for some kangaroo paw?

I don't know.
I'm thinking maybe

Baby's Breath
might bring it up...

I'll go find some.

I feel terrible.

Why?

Shannon's a nice guy.
I really hurt him.

Is that what he said?

How would you feel
if your bride-to-be

-was a no show?
-[Ben] Hey, no, no, no.

I believe him.
I was just wondering

why he's here.
What does he want?

I don't know. Closure.

Explanations.

I said I'd have dinner
with him tomorrow.

Fair enough.

Hey, but what about us?

Are we still on
for tonight?

Um, I don't think
I'm really up for it.

Sorry. Uh,
I was really looking forward

to it too.

Uh, another night, yeah?

[dramatic music playing]

Say something.

What do you want me to say?

Well, what you're thinking.

If we can't be honest now.

-[sighs]
-Okay.

Honest opinion.

Remember how we felt
the day that Ben moved out?

That brief 48 hours of freedom
before Nathan moved in,

Rachel moved in, Ted moved in.

No, the world was our oyster.

Yeah, exactly.
And it still can be.

Yeah, they won't stick
around forever.

Dad might.

Yeah, but Ted
does his own thing,

the kids will move on.
They'll find their own places.

But if we have a baby
right now,

we'll be back to square one.
We'll be back to nappies,

school runs...

I mean we'll be sixty
years old by the time

the kid gets out of school.

We may as well just apply
for our seniors cards

and book ourselves
into a retirement village.

-Oh.
-Yeah our lives will be over.

There you go. You know,
that's my honest opinion.

-Your turn.
-No. I feel the same.

-Well that's good...
-It's insane.

...that's good. At least
we're on the same page.

Jules? Aren't we?

Well, no I'm torn, you know.

I mean, this part
of me's with Ben saying,

"No way it's crazy,
it's stupid."

But this... [sighs]

This part of me...

Well, I just...
It feels the way I did

with all the kids.

You know especially Rachel.
She wasn't planned

but God when I found out
it was just...

It was the most incredible
feeling.

Abortion's never been
an option for me.

You know that.

Well, maybe not then
but this is now.

We've got to look
at all the pros and cons.

See a specialist.
Hear the facts.

Yeah.

I know you're right.

[dramatic music playing]

[Rachel] Okay,
about 10 more minutes

the potatoes
will be good to go.

-Vegies?
-Getting there.

Uh, shouldn't we call them
and see what time

-they're gonna be home?
-Mmm, no.

I'm sure they can't be
that much longer.

What'd I tell you?

Evening all.

-Oh, hi, Ted.
-Hey, Grandad.

You three mucking in together?

What's the big occasion?

There's no occasion.
We just thought

we'd give mom and dad
the night off.

Oh. Can I help?

Um, not really.

Just get your taste buds
ready.

Well, I'll go
and wash my hands then.

Now, remember it is not
up to us to tell him,

it's mom and dad's news.

And what news would that be?

[dramatic music playing]

[Ted] Yeah well it, uh,
explains a fair

bit about your behavior lately.

Well, my head's been
in a bit of a spin.

Mm.

Dad, um, look, I know
how you felt

about Rachel's situation
and...

[sighs] look this is...

this is very different.
You know, I'm a lot older.

There are so many risks
and so many reasons

-not to go through with this.
-Julie--

No, no, no.
Dad, can you just...

can you just let me finish?

You've been talking
about moving out

and I don't want that.
I love you

and I really want you
to stay but...

I know how you feel
about termination.

Abortion, Julie?

An ugly word for something
that is ugly.

No. All right. Yeah.
Yeah, it is ugly, Dad.

But sometimes
it's the only sensible option

and you're gonna have to let
me be the judge of that.

Whatever the consequences.

Look, if this has got
something to do

-with money, I can help.
-No, no, no, Dad.

It's got nothing
to do with money.

I appreciate the offer
but it's not about money.

[Rachel] Mom, we are so sorry.

Yeah. Look, uh, never put us
up for any diplomatic gigs.

-You okay?
-Yeah, I'm fine.

Had to have the conversation
some time.

So is, um, Ted gonna be
eating with us?

Uh, not sure.

Why don't we, um, start
and see if he joins us.

Look, Mom, I know
this might be a little bit,

uh, premature...

so to speak, um, shut up.

Um, but if you are gonna go
through with this,

you're probably gonna need
some extra space

-like a nursery...
-[Sammy] Yeah.

And our room is closest
so it would make sense

-if you did want space.
-Oh...

[Dave] Look, we have
many more decisions to make

before we have to worry
about accommodation issues,

all right?

-[Julie] Oh, Dad?
-Are you, um--

[Ted] I'm off for a walk.

[Julie] Either way
you looked at it,

our decision
was proving controversial.

[owl hooting]

[Young Girl] Come on, Dad,
I'm gonna be late.

Netball starts in ten minutes.

-Dad!
-Oh, actually, sweetie,

I've just got to go
to the bathroom.

Well, won't be a sec.

Dad!

3:00.

Five hours
till the specialist.

You know Dr. Clayer said
that any pregnancy

over thirty five they call
it 'geriatric'.

That's the best reason
I've heard yet not to go

through with it.
I told you, we're too old.

No, there was a woman
in Italy who was over 60.

Well, she was geriatric.

[chuckles]

How did this happen?

Uh, I thought you would've
figured that out at puberty.

[Dave] No. I mean,
aren't those things supposed

to be full-proof? One hundred
percent protection?

No. I think the promise
is ninety nine percent.

And we obviously scored
the one.

Dad came back late.

Jules, don't let your father
pull strings--

-I know.
---or anyone for that matter.

They don't have any rights.

It's our choice.

Yeah. Well, shut up
and give me a cuddle will you?

[dramatic music playing]

[sighs]

[Dr. Marsh] All right.

Let's not beat about the bush.

This is clearly an exciting

if nerve-racking time
for you both.

[chuckles]

In a sense, the greatest risk
for a woman

of your age is falling
pregnant at all.

So I'm assuming
this wasn't planned.

No.

Right.

Well, you should know
that I believe

in full disclosure
with the facts

so you two can make
an informed decision.

Okay. Well, I'm ready.

Mrs. Rafter,

the major risk in pregnancy
for a woman of your age

is to the development
of a fetus.

But unfortunately...

the risk isn't just
for the fetus.

Pregnancy puts a lot
of pressure on anyone's body.

But it gets particularly
difficult the older you get.

What kind of difficulties?

[Dr. Marsh] There's
an increased risk

of the placenta detaching,
which leads to hemorrhaging.

Diabetes, miscarriage.

Do you have a history
of miscarriage?

Um, my mother.

And our daughter recently.

[Dr. Marsh] Well,
that may be a factor.

And due to your history

of high blood pressure

during previous pregnancies,

and your advanced
maternal age,

there is a real risk
of pre-eclampsia

this time around.

I'd be advising bed rest

during your final trimester.

What's pre-eclampsia again?

It's a potentially
life-threatening condition

whereby the placenta
doesn't deliver enough blood

to the fetus.

Basically it affects
the mother

through interruption
to organ function,

which in the most
serious cases

can lead to convulsions,

stroke, fluid on the lung,

heart failure
and as I mentioned,

potentially fatality.

You know what I'm gonna say,
don't you?

If there's the slightest risk

to you or your health,
then it's a no.

[Julie] Well,
what if it's a risk

I'm prepared to take?

Don't do this to me, Jules.

I know it's your body
and your life

but I've got a say
in this too.

Yeah. Well, and so do I.

Look, I don't want us
to have an argument

or for something
to come between us.

What can you see
that happening?

I can feel opposition growing.

Yeah, so can I.
Look at your body language.

Well, we're not talking
about where to spend

the Easter long weekend.
We're talking about a life.

And since when has
our relationship

not been democratic?

Look, it's always
been democratic.

It's, the problem is that
it's a democracy of two.

Who's gonna cast
the deciding vote?

[dramatic music playing]

Pregnant?

Goodness.

That is a surprise.

Yeah.

But she's not sure
she wants to keep the baby.

And you're...

you're finding
this difficult?

Well, Julie's my only child.

Louise and I tried to give
her a little brother

and sister but it just
wasn't happening.

Well, it was...

but she kept miscarrying.

So you stopped?

Yes, we did.

Well, who can blame you?
At some point you have to.

You can't keep on torturing
yourselves.

Life's too short.

It's every parent's right
to decide

that enough's enough.

But ultimately that decision
has to be made

by the people involved.

Sorry. Too many cliches
for one day.

No, no.

You're absolutely right.

Thank you, Marjorie.

Gee, it's really nice
to have someone to talk to.

Any time.

Would you, um, like
to come in?

I have a fabulous
collection of tea,

exotic, domestic, fruit.

Name your poison.

No, thanks.

Ah, better get going.

Another time though.

Absolutely.

Thanks, Marjorie.

Bye, Ted.

Mom.

Hi, darling.

Hi. You all right?

I think so.

I've left you father.

Oh.

Oh, this is such
a lovely place.

It just says home. Family.

I've always thought that.

Now, Trish, are you sure
you don't want

a, uh, tea or a coffee,
or something stronger?

[Trish] I started the day
with a Bloody Mary.

I'm not risking my license.

Even if it is my last day
in Australia for a while.

You're leaving the country?

Why not?

I'm taking
the little I have left

and I'm treating myself
to a few weeks

in London with a friend.

What about dad
and the court case?

I didn't think your father
could sink any lower

than his behavior towards
you the other day

but it turns out
that I was wrong.

You know, that Tony
has left me with nothing

more than the clothes
that I stand up in.

Some jewelry.

A few pieces of art.

The houses
are all in Suki's name.

Can you believe it?
Shifty little snake.

You two obviously have
a little bit to talk about

-so I'm just--
-Oh, Nathan, please

don't leave on my account.

I don't care who knows it.

Uh, no. I've just got
some work to do.

Oh, well good for you.

I mean, maybe this whole doing
it for yourselves thing

could work after all.

You won't be able to call
on me much longer.

Ten minutes won't hurt.

[Sammy] So when did you last
speak to dad?

This morning.
Just before I walked out.

Rattling around
in that big old house.

He took it well.
Unsurprisingly.

Should've done it years ago.

Mom.

[exhales]

I think I will take
that drink.

Thank you, Nathan.

Sure thing.

[dramatic music playing]

Tense, mate.
What's the problem?

Come on, tell uncle Carbo.

Melissa said she'd call me
and she hasn't. So...

Well, that's not good, mate.
Not good at all.

Hey, do you reckon
she's starting to get a bit,

you know, hung up
with this Shane guy?

It's Shannon!
And no I don't reckon!

Can't you just be a mate
for once in your life?

Be positive?
Show some support.

Oh, this is stupid.
I'm calling her.

Mate, you don't want
to do that. Trust me.

-It's the first rule.
-What rule?

-What are you on about?
-[Carbo] The rules of love!

First one,
don't be a desperado.

You have no idea
what you're on about.

Mate, I play Eros
five days a week at the shop.

Six days when it's market day.

-And I've been engaged.
-Oh, yeah.

'Cause that worked out
so well, didn't it?

I just know, all right?

[phone ringing]

Melissa? Hey.

No, no. I'm very happy
with my mobile plan.

Thank, thanks very much.

Look, she said
she'd call you okay?

If you call her
she'll be cranky.

-End of story.
-Oh, I just can't stand it.

She's having dinner
with him tonight.

Yeah, but she told you,
you know.

It's not like
she was sneaking around.

Oh, I have to see her.

Mate, you don't want
to do that, okay?

-Remember the rules.
-Stuff the rules.

Melissa will get upset.
Trust me.

I'm just dropping around.
I think I know my girlfriend

better than you do.

Women.

[Sammy] Are you sure
you're gonna be all right

to drive, Mum?

[Trish] Two drinks
in three hours.

I'm so far under the limit.

Well then--

Well, have a wonderful time
in London.

See you on the other side
of this whole mess.

Absolutely.

Better go.

Well, um, call every day
and message whenever.

Sammy, I've got a bit
of a confession to make.

-Okay.
-Up until a few days ago,

I saw your father
as the strong one

in the family.

Now I realize
that you're the one

with the strength.

Mom.

I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

[sighs]

You hold
onto what you have, Sammy.

Nathan, Julie and Des.

Dave.

[laughs]

One day I'll get that right.

[sighs]

It's okay.

Bye, mom.

[engine starts]

[Julie] As Sammy contemplated
the disintegration

of her family,
Ben wasn't exactly helping

his chances with Melissa.

[Melissa]
What were you thinking?

In what universe
is this all right?

-Mel just--
-No. Being overprotective

and controlling
is the worst thing

you could do.
I am doing this

for my conscience
and you have

-to accept that.
-I can't accept it.

You're having dinner
with your ex-fiance tonight.

So what?
You don't trust me?

I do trust you.
It's, it's, it's him

that I don't trust.

Mel...

Look, just promise me
that after tonight

you'll never see him again.

I can't promise that.

Then I can't promise you
that I won't follow

this taxi.

Or sit at the table
next to you.

Or better still
just join the two of you.

If you follow this taxi,
or even call me,

it's over, okay?
I'm serious.

Spencer Street, please.

[engine revs]

[dramatic music playing]

[Julie] To follow,
or not to follow.

That was the question.

[Julie] Bailey, come on,

-sweetheart. Please.
-No! No! No! No!

Darling, don't you want
to see daddy?

-He's gonna be home soon.
-No! No! No!

[Julie] You know what?
I'm gonna count to five,

-all right? One, two--
-No! No! No!

[woman] Oh, grandkids.
Thank God we can give them

-back at the end of the day.
-[Bailey] No! No! No!

-God. [sighs]
-What?

Oh, just thinking about
some of the assumptions

and misunderstandings
we'd have to face.

I've been on the net.

Oh, yeah?

There's some huge,
serious risks, Jules.

Dave, can we just wait
until the ultrasound--

No, no.
You're not listening to me.

I don't want to lose you
over this.

Your baby,
it's not even a baby yet.

It's just a few cells.
But you're a fully grown woman

who I love, who I've loved
for almost three decades.

And if there's
the slightest risk...

If I have to choose,

I choose you. I love you.

Darl, I love you too

but just don't close
your mind off, okay?

Look, the ultrasound's
tomorrow morning. We'll--

-No, Jules, Jules--
-[Rachel] You guys

are both here. Good.

So, don't read too much
into this okay

but I went past
the most incredible store

at lunchtime.
It's amazing.

It's all baby ware.

All eco-friendly,
natural fibers,

funky little designs.

So, I got you,
there's the catalogue.

What do you think?

That your timing's terrible?

You have no rights here,
Rachel.

This isn't your decision.

Oh, Dad I,
I wasn't trying

-to influence your--
-[Dave] No?

You don't buy baby wear
for babies you don't have.

Dave!

Mom, I'm so sorry.

I didn't...

I just, I saw the things
in the window and--

-I know.
-Sorry.

[sighs]

[door closes]

[knocks on door]

[Julie] Rach?

Come in.

See what I mean?

Their clothes
are really gorgeous.

This isn't about me
being pregnant, is it?

Is it that obvious?

Sweetheart, this must be
so hard for you.

Oh, sweetie.

Your baby wasn't meant to be.

You know that, don't you?

No, it wasn't.

But, um...

mom, I didn't have
a miscarriage.

-I went to a clinic.
-What?

[Rachel] I'm sorry
I didn't tell you.

I just thought it was better
that no one knew.

I didn't wanna
get you involved

in keeping secrets
from grandad.

Oh, darling, no.

[Rachel] It's okay.

It was fine. Really.

No, actually it was horrible.

-Really awful.
-[Julie] Oh, yeah.

Oh, you poor thing,
there by yourself.

Why didn't you tell me?

I just...
I'm sorry. I couldn't.

I felt like
I was letting you guys down.

Oh, no, never.
Never.

And one secret from grandad
we would've coped.

You made the right decision
at the time for you.

Yeah.

Um, I just don't think

you should give up
this baby, Mom.

Not if you don't have to.

[dramatic music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

I mean the UK's
always been my goal.

You know that.
But at my age

I reckon I pretty much
missed that boat.

So, it's semi-professional
soccer

and the accountancy exam's
next--

Shannon, can I just...

I just wanted to say
once and for all

that I am really,
really sorry

I hurt you the way I did.

-Melissa, that's okay.
-No, it's not.

And I'm sorry
our parents don't speak.

I can't believe
your dad blames you.

I mean, don't they realize
how much they pushed us?

Since we were kids,
they never gave us a chance

to figure out what we wanted.

And then on that morning,
standing there

in the wedding dress that mom
had basically chosen,

I realized I had been
operating on some kind

of autopilot.

For months and I...

It just didn't feel right.

Thank you for telling me.

-You're not angry?
-No. Not anymore.

In Perth
when you didn't see me, yeah.

Because I wanted
the explanation.

And because I wanted
to tell you something.

I guess, kind of get
your blessing.

Ridiculous, I know.

After you left
I did some thinking,

soul-searching,
figured out what I wanted.

-And now I've met someone.
-That's wonderful.

Oh, I...
I'm really happy for you.

Wow. Do I know her?
Is she from Perth?

Uh, yeah.
And no.

[dramatic music playing]

[Julie] Ben wasn't
my only offspring facing

a life changing choice.

-Hey, what's that?
-I don't know.

A courier just dropped it off.
It's from your mom.

Hm?

I don't know if I can handle
any more surprises.

Oh, my God.

-Whoa, that's ugly.
-I have to call her.

Yes you do, tell her thanks
but no thanks.

[laughs]
No, you don't understand.

This painting is worth
a lot of money.

Well,
how much are we talking?

Fifty, maybe sixty
thousand dollars.

What?

She had it
in her dressing room.

You're joking.
Sam, that's nearly enough

to pay off our debts.

Yeah and maybe even put
a deposit on a house.

[Julie] Tempting.

But was it the right thing
to do.

Oh, hello.
Haven't seen you all day.

Yeah. I'm off to the movies
again tonight.

Dad, look, you don't have
to keep avoiding me.

Um, no decision's been made.

I'm not the devil
incarnate yet.

Julie I...
I'm sorry

if I seemed angry
or judgmental.

It's every parent's right
to say enough's enough.

And if that's what your heart
tells you to do,

then that's what
you've got to do.

You've paid your dues, mate.

Where's this come from?

Oh, I had some sense
talked into me.

Made me think straight.
I better get going.

Dad?

Mm?

Thank you.

Love you.

[dramatic music playing]

[phone ringing]

Vatalidis Flowers,
spreading the love.

-I mean hello?
-They're having champagne.

-Benno?
-Champagne.

We all know what that means.

He's practically asking her
to have sex on the table.

Tell me you didn't follow her
to the restaurant.

-Or course I did.
-Mate, that's stalking.

She's my girlfriend
and this is doing my head in.

Look, calm down.
Whatever you do,

don't go in there.
Trust me on this.

This isn't right.

Who uses words
like "closure"?

He's playing her
like a violin.

Remember rule number two.
Give the lady a little space.

Make her want you.
Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen.

I can't get her back

and just let some loser
take her away again.

He's a professional
footballer.

-So?
-[Carbo] So he's not a loser.

He might be an idiot
or a wanker

but he's definitely
not a loser.

Why did I even call you?

Ben? Ben?

Bugger the rules.

'Cause so many things now

I'm thinking...
So me running--

Worked out well
for both of us.

-Uh, we should drink a toast.
-Great idea.

-Um, what to?
-[Shannon] Uh...

[Julie] What Shannon
had revealed to Melissa,

had changed the whole game.

Poor Ben
just didn't know it yet.

[Julie panting]

Jules, just breathe.

Jules, just breathe,
breathe, that's good.

Get me the epidural!

You said you wanted
a natural birth.

-Just breathe--
-Get me the bloody drugs!

But it's true.
The pains does pass.

And then comes
that tide of warm,

enveloping emotion.

The most wonderful feeling
in the world.

[door closes]

Are you getting
sentimental again, Mom?

Sorting baby photos.

-Uh, I was cute, huh?
-[laughs]

Yeah, you all were.

Though it's hard
to describe the bond

that you form
those first few minutes.

It's a miracle.

I need a miracle.

Have you got one for me?

Well, is this about Melissa?

Right now she's having dinner
with her ex-fiance.

-Well, she's entitled to.
-He wants her back.

-Oh--
-I know he does.

That doesn't mean
she wants him back.

Yeah.

But she's never said
she loves me, remember?

You've got to have some faith
in yourself.

Have faith in Melissa.

You are a wonderful person.

You're kind, funny,
thoughtful.

Cute.
Just give it time.

You know even when things
are meant to be,

it sometimes takes a while
to get there.

Thanks, Mom.

Is that what
it really feels like?

Having a baby?
A miracle?

Yep.

Well, no pressure or anything

but I'd really like
a little brother.

You know one
that I actually like.

[laughs]

Joke. Night.

Night.

[dramatic music playing]

[knocks on door]

-It's open.
-[door opens]

Hey.

Mel, hey.
Is everything okay?

Everything's great,
surprisingly.

So dinner was good?
He didn't try anything did he?

Um...
[laughs]

Why are you so happy?

It's sort of freaking me
out a bit.

Well, we talked.

Major confession time.

Turns out me running

was the best thing
for everybody.

-What do you mean?
-[Carbo] Hi, Mel.

-Ben found you then.
-Sorry?

-Oh, at the restaurant.
-Carbo.

Did you follow me
to the restaurant?

No. Well, yeah.

-Sort of--
-You followed me?

After everything
I said about trust.

After expressly asking you
not to?

Yeah. But you didn't see me.

And I didn't come in. Not
really.

And then I realized
that you were right

and that it was none
of my business

so I came home.

-You're unbelievable.
-Melissa! Mel, please.

Listen to me!

[door closes]

You are an idiot!
An absolute joke!

Well, mate, it just came out.
I wasn't thinking.

Everything you said
about the rules of love,

she came back!
Everything was sweet!

And now she's gone
because you don't think!

You know,
I actually like films

with a bit of oomph in them.

You know where something
actually happens,

when someone does
something heroic,

or saves the planet,
or you know,

the kind of movies
where your seat vibrates

with the music.

-So I picked the wrong one.
-Oh, no, no.

I do like
historical films too.

Here I am.
Thanks for walking me.

All of ten meters.

Eat your heart out,
George Clooney.

You know, I've been baking

and I have a really
delicious choc-fudge cake.

And a bottle of something
somewhere in the kitchen.

Hm?

Not tonight.

It's been lovely
to chat though.

It took my mind off
the family.

I'm sure they'll be fine.

Yeah. Well, there's a limit
to how much you feel

you can stick your bib in,
isn't there.

Well, maybe next time.

Well, the next movie
I take you to

the seat'll vibrate
so much you'll think

we're the ones saving
the planet.

Can hardly wait.
Goodnight, Ted.

Night, Marjorie.

Marjorie?

Actually,
it'd be lovely to come in.

[dramatic music playing]

-Nathan?
-Yeah?

[sighs] I couldn't stop
thinking about

all those people
who've lost money

because of what dad did.

This is just mom
getting back at dad.

It's not our painting.

It's probably not even hers
to give.

We don't need it.
Mom was right.

I mean,
we can do this on our own.

And I know it might sound
a little bit--

-Insane?
-Yeah.

-Unbelievable?
-That too.

-What do you think?
-Well, I think?

Um, debt free
and the deposit on a house

versus living up
to your parents' example.

Let's see...

painting goes back.

Let's break the cycle.

So I guess we're staying here
for a while then.

Looks like it.

No more space,
no more privacy.

Maybe even a crying baby.

Nanny duties
and dirty nappies.

Mmm-hmm.

Oh, it could be worse.

-It could be a lot worse.
-Mm.

[laughs]

Now Mrs. Rafter,
if you could just show me

your tummy.
Great.

This won't be
your first ultrasound,

-I'm guessing.
-Oh, uh, no.

But the last one
was a long time ago.

Yeah.
Our kids are older.

We had them a while ago now.

-Before electricity.
-[laughter]

[woman] Okay.
Well, here we go.

[exhales]

[woman] And there it is.

Where am I looking?

There.

-Is that the heartbeat?
-Oh, here you can listen.

[heartbeat pounding]

There it is.

[Julie] Our democracy of two
just got

a whole lot more complicated.

[Julie]The miracle of pregnancy.

The miracle of life.

The perfect expression

of two people's love
for each other.

The blending of two souls
in perfect utter harmony.

Until reality intrudes.

You're not there yet, are you?

-Mel.
-Did Ben send you?

No.

Look, I'm sorry.
I was stupid.

-I shouldn't have blurted.
-Hey, I'm not angry with you.

That's an Arum Lily.
It means ardor.

-It's like passion.
-Carbo--

And daffodil means hope,
and that's a hyacinth.

It means constancy.

You know like sticking around.

I know what constancy means.

And that's an orange gerbera.

Which means
you're the sunshine

of my life.

Please tell me
these aren't from you.

No, of course not.
But put all these together,

and that's how Ben feels
about you.

-I knew he sent you.
-No, no, no, he didn't.

Look, Ben loves you.

And he's really trying
to make things right.

He's just a bit
of an idiot sometimes.

Mm.

Look, I know these aren't
the most professional bouquet.

Look I'm still learning.

But they're yours.

If you want it.

Oi, Benno!

I'm still not talking
to you.

What about me?

Melissa?

Rule number three.

Keep your mouth shut
and ears open.

Okay. So technically
you didn't come

-into the restaurant.
-No. Just down the road.

And then I realized
it was stupid.

Shannon's a friend, right?

A gay friend.

What?

That's what he wanted
to tell me.

-You're kidding me.
-That's what I said to him.

But apparently the girl
he's met is, um, a guy.

I knew it!
I totally picked it.

Oh, you so didn't.

-Shannon's gay.
-Looks like.

[laughter]

The fact you stalked me
to the restaurant,

that was stupid.

But the fact you realized that
and then left,

that was good, Ben.

-Verging on mature.
-Yeah?

I think we're making progress.

But I think for this to work,

we're gonna have to rewind
to the beginning.

-Yeah that's--
-Take it slow.

That's fine.
Whatever you want.

I just think
the worst thing I could do

would be to move in
back here,

so, we could date
and see how it plays out.

And then we'll be okay,
yeah?

I'd like to think so.

Melissa's giving me
another chance!

[Melissa]
Ben, I said "mature".

This is mature.
Hey, Mom! Dad!

Melissa's giving me
another chance!

Oh! Ben!

Oh darling are you all right?
Oh, darl--

Melissa's giving me
another chance.

[Julie] Yeah, I know.
That's... Oh look at your lip!

-Are you okay?
-[Dave] Come on, mate.

Melissa's giving me
another chance.

-Yes.
-So mature.

-Mom, don't fuss. It's okay.
-It's not okay.

You need to get
some iodine on that.

You were right.

I just had to hang on
in there

-and she came good.
-Um, hello.

-Standing right here.
-How did you know that?

Oh, what can I tell you,
years of practice.

Oh, no. Some of the stuff
you know is incredible.

[Julie] Yeah. Well,
when they make mothering

an Olympic event,
you can recruit me.

No, I mean it.
You're amazing, Mom.

Thanks darling.
Now hold still.

Hey, hey, hey, you didn't say
iodine, did you?

Uh, unless you want that cut
to get infected--

Uh, no! No, mom.
It burns!

Oh, hold him down, Mel.

Darling, just stop!
Just for a second.

[Julie]Sometimes, despite all advice

to the contrary,

you can't help but choose
the stupid option.

The complicated thing.

-The risky thing.
-[knocks on door]

Yeah?

Hey.

Only Ben could turn
fantastic news

-into a split lip.
-Yes.

Well, he's a dag.

-Yeah, but he's our dag.
-Mmm-hmm.

I can't believe
I've spent the last few days

tossing and turning over
whether to bring another kid

of ours into the world.

We've spent most of our lives
being parents, Jules.

-It's what we do.
-Yep.

We'll get our time eventually.

In the meantime...

there's a little bloke in here
who wants to be born.

He's got a whole load
of potential

of his own and he just...

doesn't know it yet.

Who says it's a he?

Haven't you been
listening to me?

I've been a father
for 25 years,

I've got a sense about these.

Are we being stupid?

Yeah, probably.

[Julie]But what's life about

if not taking risks?

-Let's go and tell them.
-Okay.

Jumping in with both feet
and seeing what happens.

Our decision finally made.

The only thing certain
about the future

is that it's uncertain.

Ben! Oh, honestly...
No...

[Julie] That we would
face it together.

All of us.

[indistinct chatter]
