♪Ah ♪

Previously, on McLeod's Daughters.

That one's mine.

And that one's mine, and that one's mine.

And that one and that one's mine.

And you can't have 'em unless you name 'em.

(both laugh)

(gentle music)

I can't believe that all
of this is almost mine.

Almost ours and the bank's.

(laughs) I thought I'd put
the veggie patch down here,

twice as big as the one at Drover's.

Well, actually,
you're standing in the living room, right.

And the kitchen's over there, hm.

Reckon she'll have the
cria in a couple of days.

Really?

But do we have to call it that.

There must be a cuter
name for a baby alpaca.

Pachette?
Mm.

(lips smack)

Come on, Claire,
we're gonna miss the plane.

Right-o.

Make a start on the trough.

Don't worry, we won't miss a beat.

Hurry up.
Right-o.

(gentle music)

(engine revs)

They're not gonna know what's hit them.

Oh Alex knows what he's doing.

I meant Melbourne (chuckles).

You mean everything to me.

Can I get a word in?

Make it quick.

I love you.

(gentle music)

(horns honking)

Mm, you're still here.

Mm.

Well, I couldn't leave.

You were asleep on my arm.

(chuckles) Sorry.

(Claire laughs)

What's so funny?

Being here with you.

Funny ha-ha or...

Uh-uh, funny good.

(Claire sighs)

So when did you realize
you first fancied me?

Can't remember a time I didn't fancy you.

So any ideas how we're gonna
break the news to everyone?

I reckon they'll figure
it out for themselves.

Right, the wedding.

What about next month?

Uh,

oh, no, I'll be planting the lucerne.

What about the one after that?

Hmm.

Conference in Sidney, the first week,

then maybe...
Yeah?

Uh, no, big cattle sale.

Hmm, well, then it's Christmas.

And I wouldn't want to
organize anything there.

I thought falling in love was supposed

to be the hard part.

Wait 'till we have to decide
on the seating arrangements.

Whatever happened to the romance.

Aww (laughs).

That's what we've got the
rest of our lives together for.

Hmm.

Here we go,

Saturday the 29th.

We promise to love, honor, obey

and Bob's your uncle.

Yeah, I'll pencil it in.

Nuh-uh, pen.

The sooner I get you obeying me,
the better.

(Dave chuckles)

(water pattering)

(footsteps thumping)

You're in for a shock.

What?

Come and see.

In a minute.

Don't be too long.

You okay?

Yeah, fine.

(solemn music)

(heartbeat thumping)
(animal squealing)

Gorgeous little thing isn't she?

How long ago do you think she was born?

Her coat's still wet.

She can't be more than a few hours old.

She's so cute.

Look, she's trying to suckle.

Yeah, she couldn't find the teat, though.

Yeah, have a nibble something else.

How long until that's a concern?

I don't think you have to worry,

but Tess is the expert.

What do you think?

Tess?

Tess?

It's got to suckle otherwise
we have to express some.

Psht, I've never milked an alpaca.

Do you want me to call Dave?

No, he's busy.

I'll see what I can find on the Net.

(alpaca squeals)

(heartbeat thumping)
(solemn music)

Immediate family member with breast cancer,

two to three times more likely (sighs).

(door squeaks)

Find anything?

Uh, did you see that?

What?

Uh, I, um, I saw something move

behind the, um, the filing cabinet.

It's probably just a field mouse, Tess.

No, no, I think it was a snake.

It was definitely a snake.

You better do something about it

before Charlotte gets back.

Oh.

Terry!
Yeah?

You forgot your lunch.

Ah.

Where's my muesli bars
with the chocolatey bits.

I've given you an extra sandwich.

Yeah, but I need something sweet for

after.

That's why it's a honey sandwich.

It's not the same thing.

A packet of muesli bars a week

at $3 is over $150 a year we can save.

So?

So that's $150 closer we are

to paying off our block of land.

And if we can find 10
things like the muesli bar,

that's over $1,500 a year we can save.

Yeah, well, what 10 things, yours or mine?

Well, both.

We both want the block of land,

so we both have to make sacrifices.

(engine revs)

Hey, Mum,
Tess reckons she saw a snake in the study.

Can you go have a look for it?

Well, I'm busy, why can't you?

Well, I'm busy, too.

And you know what
Tess is like about snakes.

It's probably all in her head.

(gavel crunches)

Give it up.

Piece of junk's not worth fixing.

It's gonna have to do.

Have a look in the ute.

It's just gathering dust in the shed.

What's the catch?

There's no catch.

Just thought you and Alex could use it,

given the state of your pumps.

So he's still in Melbourne then?

Too much of a good time.

Yeah,
I guess he's got to meet the rest of his...

Family?

Yeah, it'd be rude not to.

I'll help you set that up.

No hurry to get back?

Nah, painters are in, muck everywhere.

Sam is still helping you redecorate?

Yeah, apparently, I have to decide

whether terra cotta is
better than burnt toffee.

To eat?

No, to look at.

They're both brown, aren't they?

That's what I said.

Wrong answer.

Anyway, Alex will be glad of this.

Hates having to fix things.

Yup, well, you know Alex.

If it's not brand-new, state-of-the-art,

he won't even notice it.

Look at the little ducky-wuckies.

What do they do, Char?

They go (quacks).

(laughs) Be careful,

baby talk has a way of spreading.

Soon you'll be saying
tractor-wactor and trousy-wousy.

Just keeping in practice
for her little brother.

Little, little brother.

Ah, so BOM's having a baby brother, is she?

Two or three and a couple

of sisters for good measure.

(laughs) You planning a dynasty?

Nah, a footy team.

Well, that's fine,

as long as you have 'em.

Hey, let's get a photo.

(Claire gasps) Here.

Hello.

Excuse me?

Could you, um, take a photo, yeah?

Oh yeah.
Good, thank you.

Come on.

A photo.
Photo.

Here we go.

Thank you.

Say babies.

(camera clicks)

Come on, one more, one more, thank you.

Say triplets.

Now you're going too far.

Oh get it over and done.

All right then, okay.

(Claire laughs)

(camera clicks)

(solemn music)

Tess, are you sure you saw a snake?

'Cause with Claire away,
we haven't got the spare hands.

What snake?

Well, Jodi said you saw one in the study.

Oh it must have been nothing.

Well, you better make sure.

Can't be too careful
with a baby in the house.

Wow,
I'd forgotten how beautiful your mum was.

Must have been hard when she got sick.

Everything all right?

Just get a bit sad remembering Mum,
that's all.

I'd better check on the cria.

(alpacas grunting)

(solemn music)

Right.

Come on, up you get, Isabel.

Good girl.

You hungry?

Ready?

Yes, of course you are.

Yes, you are.

Come on, Isabel,
we've got to get this baby fed.

That's a good girl.

Got a very hungry baby to feed,
don't you, hey?

You go over there.

Come on, Isabel, over here.

Yup.

This is gonna get you fed.

Good girl.

(whistles) Good day.

Hi, Tess call you with the good news?

No.

The cria was born this morning.

Oh, mother and child doing well?

Yeah, they seem fine,

not so sure about Tess.

Oh yeah, new grandparent, eh?

Come on.

(cria whines)

It's all right, it's all right.

What are you doing?

What does it look like?

It was only born a couple of hours ago,
Tess.

It should be suckling off its mother.

Well, it wasn't.

Well, that's because you
haven't given it a chance.

We were all a bit worried.

At least we know for
certain it's had a feed now.

I checked on the net.

It said it needed the
antibodies from the colostrum

in the first 12 hours.

Well, you obviously missed

the bit about the importance

of the bonding process.
I know what I'm doing.

So do I.

I'm a vet, remember?

Would you stop shouting at me?

I'm not.

You're shouting at me.

I'll go and check what it says on the net

about getting the cria to latch on.

(Tess sighs)

I'm sorry.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I just panicked, I guess.

It's, it's my first cria.

I got a bit carried away, that's all.

It's all right.

That's all right.

I wanted to put it back with its mother,
okay.

The more you handle it,

the less likely it is they'll bond.

I'll do it.

You, you go do your work.

All right now.

(solemn music)

(Tess sighs)

(somber music)

(door rattles)

Hey.

If you've finished your chores,

you can get on with looking for the snake.

Mom,
you know it's just Tess being paranoid.

Well, she thinks she saw one,
so get on with it.

(scoffs) Slave labor,
that's all I am to you.

Get Becky to help you.

Okay.

(horse nickers)

Tess?

You know, if there's anything wrong,

You can always talk to me.

I made a wrong call with the cria,
that's all.

Let's hope I haven't
completely stuffed things up.

Yeah, well, that's not what I meant.

If there's anything else wrong...

There's nothing.

I haven't told anyone this,

but Terry had a health scare.

He didn't say anything to anyone.

Was he okay?

He's fine.

But he got himself so
worked up thinking he wasn't.

Turned out he drove himself
crazy with worry over nothing.

Well, so long as he's all right now.

I got to go check the cattle.

I'll see you later, come on.

(Tess clicks)
Tess?

(hooves patter)

(horse whinnies)

(train clanks)

Ah, you are so gorgeous, eh?

(chuckles) Huh?

(Claire chuckles) Yeah.

Don't listen to a word he says.

Why? You do.

Oh I'm a sucker.

I hold out more hope for my daughter.

So you're tellin' me I
don't have to try so hard.

(Claire laughs)
Any old line will do.

(both laugh)

Only if you're saying it.

(phone rings)

Oh.

Ah.

Hello.

Oh hi, Meg.

I was just wondering
when you're coming back.

Oh well, uh,

seeing the MP was a
bit harder than I thought,

so probably tomorrow.

You can't make it sooner?

Why?

Nothing really,
it's just the cattle need drenching,

and the cria was born last night.

It hasn't suckled yet.

Well, um,
Becky and Jodi can take care of the cattle.

And Tess can look after the alpacas.

It's Tess I'm worried about.

What about her?

Well, I've tried talking to her, but...

Claire, I think you should come home.

I think she's ill.

I'm on my way.

(phone beeps)

(solemn music)

Tess isn't well.

(dramatic music)

(chainsaw buzzing)

(horse nickers)

(solemn music)

Why didn't you just paint the walls white?

Sandra thinks it's not
warm and inviting enough.

All that brown,
I'd reckon it'd put people off.

Yeah, but it's not brown.

It's terra cotta.

Meg told me off once

for buying a teal and puce jumper.

Now I didn't know what she's talking about,

and I kept wearing it till
she got all narky at me

for ignoring her.

What's teal and puce?

Red and green.

If she'd just use a proper name for colors,

it would save a lot of trouble.

Well, maybe I should tell Sandra

I want teal and puce walls.

She'd be begging me to go for white.

Oh, a bit of reverse psychology,

good idea.

(engine hums)

What do you reckon, hmm?

Brand new.

Alex will notice this.

Top-of-the-line, latest model.

Of course, if you don't want it.

Oh I reckon we could use it.

Nice.

We've searched everywhere.

There's no sign of any snake.

Told you, Tess is paranoid.

Just humor her and keep looking.

She taken the mother somewhere?

No, she went to check the cattle.

Must've forgotten to shut the gate.

That's not like her.

Let's split up and see
if we can find Isabel.

First snakes, now alpacas,

this day is not looking good.

Whatever you do,
don't say anything to Tess.

Why?

I don't want her blaming
herself and getting upset.

Okay, remind me again why we have alpacas.

(alpacas squeal)

'Cause they look after the sheep,

and Tess likes them.

(Jodi grunts)

Yeah, then why isn't she out here chasing

around a paddock?

Oh watch it, oh!

(both laugh)

(gentle music)

So what do you reckon about our Tess?

Ate too many mung beans?

Or soy beans maybe?

She hates soy beans.

Too much tofu, maybe.

(Alex laughs)

You found her.

Yeah.

She missed the social club.

She was trying to rejoin her mates.

Hey.

Oh, if that's the problem,

let's bring her mates to her.

Oh great, you mean we have to go back

and get the rest of them?

It'll help settle her down.

(horn honking)

They're back.

Oh finally, my knickers.

I'll head home,
give you some time with Tess.

Thanks.

Hey, guys!

How was it?

Hey, welcome back, you two.

Thanks.

Oh hello, darling.

How was the big trip?

Well, she loved the plane.

She is a born flyer.

I'm glad you could make it back today.

Yeah, I was sick of the noise

and the pollution anyway.

So how was Melbourne?

Melbourne was good.

Need a hand with your stuff?

Yeah.

Tess went for a ride.

She should be back soon.

Oh.

I'd better get going.

Call me later.

Right.

(scoffs) Definite body language.

I thought you were staying in
Melbourne an extra few days.

Yeah, yeah, we were, but, um,

Alex had to come back.

You want to help me unpack?

Oh shopping first.

Later, Jodi, let Claire unpack.

But if we take the goodies now,

there's less to unpack, isn't there?

(sighs) How you can spend that much

on knickers is beyond me.

(gasps) Thank you so much, Claire.

I love them.

(chuckles) Here you go.

You didn't have to get me anything.

I love it, thank you.

Now is this the one you wanted,

Race, Gender and Cultural
Politics in the 18th Century?

That's the one.

Good.

Tried reading a bit, real page-turner.

There you go, Tess.

That should last you for a while.

And next.

Took photos?

(solemn music)

Oh Tess, just...

Ooh, let me see.

I knew it.

You and Alex?

Yeah.

I just didn't want to say
anything on the phone, you know.

Uh, no, it's, uh, it's wonderful.

I'm (sobs),

I'm really happy for you.

I'm sorry.

(door rattles)

(solemn music)

Well, you have to see a doctor.

I don't want to.

Tess, you have to.

But what's the point?

All they do is give you chemo.

The chemo makes feel lousy,

and then you die anyway.

Tess, you don't know it's cancer.

It could be nothing.

I looked it up on the net,

two to three times greater
chance with a family history.

So?

There's still a chance it isn't.

I watched my mother die,
slowly and painfully,

and I couldn't do a damn thing about it.

Tess, just because you get it,

doesn't mean to say you die.

Yeah, and not everybody lives either.

Well, that's a positive attitude.

What are you gonna do, just give up?

No.

Well, I don't know.

Maybe.

What about Dave?

(Tess gasping)

You haven't told him?

(solemn music)

Well, he's already lost one wife.

I don't want him to worry,

in case it turns out to be nothing.

And you won't know it's nothing

until you go see a doctor.

But what if I'm right, Claire?

What if I've got cancer?

Then we'll deal with it.

Oh, I forgot.

I'm so happy for you and Alex.

You two, you're made for each other.

And I want to hear every dingle detail.

On one condition.

That we go make a phone call first.

All right.

All right.

Okay, come on.

Yeah, so 10 o'clock tomorrow.

Thanks.

Uh, no, I have to look after the cria,

and Nick and I have to start thinking

about planting the lucerne and then...

10 o'clock tomorrow at Fisher.

Forget about work.

I can take care of that.

Tess, I just wanted you to know

that we're still looking for the snake.

Snake?

We'll find it, I promise.

Uh, Jodi...

Well, then what about BOM.

You know,
if there's a snake in the house...

There is no snake.

Yeah, there is.

You said...

I made it up.

I didn't want you to see

what I was reading on the computer.

I'm sorry.

She doesn't have cancer.

She's got a lump.

People have lumps all the
time that turn out to be nothing.

Do you ever check?

Yeah, sometimes.

I've always thought I was too young.

What if they have to, you know,

cut it all off to get rid of it all?

I mean, I think I'd rather lose an arm.

Yeah, but you need an arm.

You don't really need a breast.

Of course you do.

No, you don't.

Amazon women used
to cut one off on purpose.

How do you know?

I saw it on a show.

Their boob would get in the way

when they fired the bow and arrow.

One boob,
that's not really my idea of being a woman.

Yeah, you just get fake ones.

That's not the same.

You'd still know the difference

and so would your boyfriend.

Hey, if the guy's with you for your boobs,

then you're better off without him.

Well, you'd want to hope he was a leg man,
anyway.

Okay, let's go.

Come on.

How long did Tess have
it away from its mother?

About an hour.

Well, if it doesn't start bonding soon,

we're gonna be bottle-feeding it for good.

Hmm.

Jodi and Becky are
bringing up some its mates.

They're herding animals.

You put them with their own kind,

it should calm her down,

be more likely to accept the cria.

Yeah, worth a try.

(gentle music)

You know, I'd feel it in my bones

if it was bad for Tess.

And I don't.

I don't know what to say
to make her not worry.

You don't need to say anything.

Just be there for her.

You got all of us to help and Alex.

So what do you think?

Took you long enough.

(Claire laughs)

I hope she doesn't know
they're having trouble.

I didn't want her to worry.

Thanks.

I thought I gave you the day off.

I need to keep busy.

So how's the cria doing?

Fine.

I haven't unpacked yet.

Let's think of something
special for dinner.

I would kill for a decent roast.

Well, what time's Alex coming over?

He's not.

Plenty of time for that.

I won't forget what he looks like.

What about Dave?

No, I didn't want to lie to his face.

And hopefully, after tomorrow,
I won't have to.

Good.

Girls night in, then.

She must have rocks in her head.

I'm the best thing that's
happened to Claire,

and she knows it.

So has Harry gone senile or what?

Bribery, mate.

Thinks he's being replaced.

Harry buys me an irrigation system.

Bryce wants to take me to the States.

Yeah,
having two fathers does have its upsides.

How'd it go with Bryce, anyway?

Well, he was a shit, just like Harry.

Well,
that'd explain the way you turned out then.

Hmm.

You reckon Harry's worried
enough to buy us a new tractor?

It's worth a try,
as long as you don't take it

with you when you move to Drover's.

I'm not goin' anywhere.

Why's that?

Well, I don't want to rush these things.

(chuckles) Oh right, after 15 years, right.

Yeah, well, we would've stayed

in Melbourne longer, but, uh...

What?

Well, Meg phoned and wanted
Claire home straightaway.

There's something wrong with Tess.

(solemn music)

(Becky sighs)

This is the last alpaca I want to deal with

for the rest of the millennium.

She's pretty skinny.

Yeah, I'll call Dave, first thing tomorrow,

if things don't change.

Where are you going?

I don't know, to a quiet, dark place

where I can dream about a tropical island

where there are no alpacas.

Haven't finished yet.

You can help me with Isabel.

Becky, you help the cria find the teat.

We'll have to take it in turns

to do the feeding, every couple of hours.

(alpacas squealing)

(solemn music)

You all right?

Lumps don't hurt, Claire.

No, that's, um, that's not what I meant.

I'm gonna be fine.

Yeah?

Yeah.

(Claire laughs)

Night. (Tess laughs)

Night.

Tess, want some ice cream?

Yeah, sure.

(gentle music)

(birds twittering)

I reckon Tess will be just fine.

Of course she will.

It's gonna be nothing.

You okay?

(Claire sighs)

I missed you last night.

Mm, I missed you too.

(Claire giggles)

How 'bout tonight?

Let's see how things go today.

(guitar music)

(scoffs) I mean,

how can it take 15 years to fall in love?

Maybe they were always in love,

and they just didn't know it.

That doesn't make any sense.

Being in love means not being able to eat

or sleep or think straight.

If they'd been like that for a decade,

they'd both be nuts by now.

You just answered your own question.

Mind you, I can't think straight now.

Is this what having a baby's like?

You have no idea.

Beer?

Oh I don't drink much beer.

No, I don't drink any.

What about magazines?

Be fair, I hardly ever buy them.

Well, I never do.

Shampoo and conditioner,

I reckon you should use regular soap,
like I do,

and I'll give up deodorant.

You will not.

Well, it's only for a few years,
as you say,

and when you got a goal like we have,

what's a few years of misery.

Terry, if you don't wear deodorant,

the misery will be all mine.

(engine revs)

Any luck with the cria?

No, it still won't suckle.

All right, well, you get on with your jobs.

I'll phone Dave.

Mum, we've been up half the night.

We all have, and we're two down,

with Claire and Tess away.

We're on to it.

Want some more water?

No, I've still got some.

Magazine?

Prince Charles to marry Lady Diana Spencer,

I think I've already read that one.

Oh.

What about a crossword?

You've got a pen?

No, I'm not good at them, Claire.

No, me, either.

Tess McLeod, my name is Tim Segal.

I'm the radiographer.

Oh, so you'll be doing the...

Ultrasound, yes.

You can get changed down the hall.

Actually, I'd like to see a woman,
no offense.

None taken.

I'm afraid I'm it today.

Oh.

Look, I assure you I've
done this many times before.

Still, I'd rather, if that's okay.

I can come back, another day.

That's fine.
Of course.

Tess.

We'll have to wait weeks.

This was a cancellation.

(Tess sighs)

Is it all right if I go in with her?

Yeah, sure.

Come on.

(solemn music)

You know, there's a family history.

Why do you think Claire's so worried?

(monitor beeps)

Are you breasts normally lumpy

at this stage of your cycle?

Um, I don't know, maybe, probably.

Is that all it is, just my cycle?

I'd have thought with
your history you'd know

to check yourself at different stages.

So can you see anything?

(monitor beeps)

Just a minute.

I haven't finished yet.

(Tess sighs)

(cria squeals)

Howdy.
Oi.

You come to see the
newest addition to the family?

Tess back yet?

I don't know.

She's gone into town, mate.

Yeah, I know,
I thought you would've gone with her.

Why?

To see her doctor.

What?

What doctor?

What for?

Look, I'm sure she'll tell you.

Sorry, I've got to go, mate.

Tell me what, Nick?

(Dave scoffs)

(dramatic music)

He didn't say it was cancer.

He didn't say it wasn't, either.

He said he had to write up his report

and give it to the referring doctor.

It sounds like standard procedure to me.

Yeah, 'cause he doesn't want to be the one

to give the bad news.

(engine revs)

(solemn music)

How'd it go?

We won't know for a while.

Dave.

Dave, wait, please.
Tess,

we're getting married, right?

Now if there's something wrong,

why am the last to know?

I didn't mean you to be.

Well, you told Nick.

No, I didn't.

I haven't told you anything,

'cause I don't want you to worry

until I find out what it is.

Well, I'm worried now.

I found a lump in my left breast.

Right.

And?

And they saw something in the ultrasound,

but, uh, I won't know what for sure

until the doctor rings with the results.

Oh Tess.

You're gonna be fine, okay.

Trust me, I'm a vet.

(Tess laughs)

Forget that, just trust me.

(gentle music)

What, you and Claire?

Yup.

I always thought she'd end up with Nick.

Well, I'm better looking.

Well, long as it's legit this time.

Yeah, it's legit.

Is that why you stayed so long in the city?

Well, I wanted Claire to meet Bryce.

So you got on okay with him?

Well, he wants to take me skiing.

Skiing?

Yeah, in the US.

You know,
that new irrigators gonna be great

for your crops.

Well,
only if we can get the soil ready in time.

You know, the tractor's had it,
and I don't know

where we're gonna get
the dough for a new one.

What sort of model did you have in mind?

You told Dad Bryce was a shit, yet?

(playful music)

Well, that jumped-up city lawyer,

what'd you expect?

Well,
so how 'bout that new tractor then, huh?

Don't push your luck.

(Alex laughs)
(Nick laughs)

Thanks a lot, mate.

I nearly had him (laughs).

I know, nail polish.

Terra cotta, nice.

Or is that sort of a, more of a, you know,

burnt toffee kind of caramelized
roasted sort of a shade?

I just call it brown.

Those are for you.
Muesli bars!

I had a pack hidden away (chuckles),

but don't eat more than one,

because we're going into
Gungellan tonight for Chinese.

Well, where's that fit into the budget?

I decided life's too short for a budget.

You beauty!

(both laugh)

Oh, get off my toes.

Oh, all right.

So Mom gets to have Chinese food,

and we get the poor man's pasta sauce.

Personally, can't tell one
tin of tomatoes from the next.

You really need to go to Italy, Beck.

They are very fussy about
their tinned tomatoes over there.

(cabinet door thuds)

You know, I,
I don't think Tess is being paranoid.

How can you say that?

Chances are that she
doesn't even have cancer.

I'm not talking about the lump.

I'm talking about the snake.

(solemn music)

(snake hissing)

(gentle music)

So it's okay?

I didn't wreck it?

No.

Mother and child perfectly bonded.

I'm predicting they won't be requiring any

longterm counseling for separation anxiety,
at this stage.

(Tess chuckles)

We should give her a name.

Hmm?

Bruce.

Nah, she's a girl.

Ah, it's a bit early to be labeling her

with gender stereotypes, don't you think?

Yeah (chuckles).

Ah, guess you won't be needing this then.

No, they, uh, needed to be left alone

and let nature take its course.

That's all.

Well, we got your snake.

But there wasn't one.

I made it up.

No, take a look.

(Tess gasps)

Well, it is my professional opinion that

that is definitely a real snake.

Guess you must've had a gut feeling.

Tess, phone for you.

It's the clinic.

(Tess sighs)

Yup.

Yes.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh, right.

Okay then, well, thank you very much.

Bye bye.

(phone beeps)

They want to do further investigation.

Well, what sort of investigation?

They want to do a needle biopsy,

which is, um,
which is where they, uh (sighs),

they put a needle in, and they, um,

they, uh, take out some...

Cells.

Yeah, they take out some cells.

I don't think it's a big deal.

It's not.

It's not, okay.

They have all this diagnostic
stuff that they love using.

That's all.

It's just routine.

Yeah.

You're gonna be fine.

(lips smack)

(solemn music)

Charlotte go down okay?

Out like a light.

You know the doctors
are just being careful.

Yeah, yeah.

Do you want me to go home?
No.

(Claire sighs)

It's just not fair.

Yeah, I know.

God, if I didn't have you right now...

Well, you do.

And nothing's changing that.

(gentle music)

(floor creaks)

(Tess sighs)

(footsteps treading)

Not that old creaky floorboard?

I was awake.

Look, yours is still up there.

(bright music)

My star.

Let's wish upon it.

Help things along a bit.
