No, I’m blood Type O. I could be the donor.

Geraldine,

- I have to say... - No, you don't.

My idea is to use it as a home base commercial kitchen.

It also has the potential to be a permanent restaurant.

I'm gonna say yes on one condition.

Billie has to set it up and manage it.

Yes.

I’m good for you.

And I’m...

and I’m falling in love with you.

I've been thinking,

I'm not really in a position to start anything.

I'm actually pretty relieved.

Yeah. I don't know if I was ready.

Everything's different now than when I’m a dad.

Looking at my son so sick, I thought, ‘how can I start something?’

I realized that's a pissweak excuse.

Can we try again?

[clapping]

[man] Zoe Proudman-Reid, it's nice to meet you,

-and congratulations. -Thank you so much.

Now, you've become a bit of a poster girl for parents,

I think, you're-- you're an outstanding student.

You're a budding philanthropist.

You're an accomplished concert pianist,

and now Young Australian of the Year.

How come all this success so early?

Basically my mom.

I know everyone thinks their mom is the best mom in the world but,

my mom actually is the best mother in the world.

Well, she is pretty extraordinary, isn't she?

-She really is. -[clapping]

Why do you think she's so special?

Well, lots of things.

-Obviously her courage... -Yup.

her wisdom, her unwavering belief in me.

But I think the fact that she's always led by example

is probably the single-most important thing.

Mm-hm.

The overwhelming sense of balance she's given me.

Not only is she a loving and supportive mother.

She's also an ethical

-and compassionate doctor. -[distant whimpering of baby]

And to her credit, she's never tried to hide the fact

-that she's also a woman. -[baby crying]

A woman with needs and--

[Zoe crying] Uh,

Jesus, mother of--

[nervous chuckling]

If you keep biting me,

I'm gonna have to stop feeding you.

-Not completely, just with my boobs. -[Zoe whimpers]

Yeah, well, they're my boobs too, and that hurt.

That really hurt.

-[Nina sighs] -[Billie] So did she draw blood?

-A little bit. -Oh.

Maybe you should cancel dinner.

-Why? -Well, you know, the nipple situation

and the up all night.

And you do look a bit shit.

Right. Thanks for that concern.

But I'm fine.

And I don't really need to do anything

because Thomas is bringing everything and he's cooking it.

-Nice. Good strategy. -What?

Well, economical. Minimizing the distance

between the drinking dining area

and the pants-off sexy area.

It's not a strategy.

He just has a small kitchen, and I thought it was about time.

About time for sexy time?

I--I don't know. Possibly.

Sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy.

Okay, can you just not do that with your head?

Because I haven't even thought about it.

You wearing a hot bra?

I'm wearing a maternity bra.

Is it hot?

I--

I may not even have the energy to digest my breakfast,

so can we not get carried away thinking about what may or

probably won't happen tonight?

-I didn't say anything. -Yes, you did.

-I'm not saying anything now. -Well, you're thinking it.

Well, yeah, I was. But then I started thinking about Lawrence.

Oh. What about him?

He threw me a bit of a curve ball last night.

Where--where are the condoms?

I think we used the last one.

-Oh. -Last time.

[Billie] Oh.

-Oh. -[heavy breathing]

Oh, we could-- we could just wing it.

Wing what?

Stop using condoms.

-[smooch] -Okay. Well, I mean,

because, you know fill up about half a cup,

which is a bit of fun for everyone, but that's,

you know, that's offset by my tendency to

morph into a psycho.

So...

What are we talking about?

The pill.

Oh. I wasn't asking you to go on the pill.

Well, what were you?

Oh.

Oh.

-Oh, my God. -Correct.

-[Nina] What did you say? -Nothing. I just froze.

Sorry, I know...

That was a bit out of nowhere, wasn't it?

It is a little bit. I--I--I didn't, um, realize

we were up to the,

you know, "Let's talk about having babies" part yet.

Yeah, neither did I.

You must be rubbing off on me.

My spontaneity. He meant my spontaneity is rubbing off on him.

Oh. Oh.

So, how do you feel?

I dunno. I'm really thinking about it.

I don't know if I'm thinking about it for the right reasons.

-What do you mean? -I'm running out of time, Nins,

and he's--he's smart, pretty, well-adjusted.

He'd make such a great dad.

We're just so different.

-[whimpering] -It's okay to feel

-whatever you're feeling. -I feel tired,

And confused. And fat!

And angry!

Good. Let's--let's dig a little deeper.

I wanna punch you in the face.

Well, that's very normal.

You're feeling angry, and even violent.

Your body is going through a whole lot of changes.

-[screams] -Mm, that's good.

I--I don't know that we're right for each other.

W--Why don't you just sit on this idea for a bit?

How did you leave things?

Pretended I needed to go to the toilet,

and then waited in the bathroom until he fell asleep.

And then went home.

W--When are you seeing him next?

Tonight.

She's been checking his temperature

at least twice a day.

-And recording it. -[keyboard taps]

She's also studying his poo.

She's constantly reading online journals.

She's hardly sleeping.

It might take her a while to trust that Alfie's really okay.

I know. So, we're talking about a normal level of concern here?

Mm, probably. Close to normal.

So you would've been the same if one of us had just had surgery?

-[bells chiming] -I didn't think so.

But Zara's always been a bit of a control freak, hasn't she?

I can hear you both, you know that?

What you may not know is that his antibiotic, antifungal,

steroid and vitamin supplements require day-by-day,

sometimes hour-by-hour, monitoring.

Yes. Yes. Absolutely.

All I think Jimmy is trying to say

is that you should perhaps try to enj Alfie's good health.

-That's all. -That's not what I'm saying.

-What are you saying? -I'm not saying anything.

Thanks for that.

What?

-[Kim] What are you doing? -Excuse me, I'm on my break.

Okay.

I've got someone coming in to have a chat

-about the extra shifts. -Mm-hm.

I, um,

I just wanted to let you know so you didn't chuck a berko,

'cause, um,

-'cause it's Cherie. -Hm.

-Are you crying? -No.

You've got tears streaming down your face.

Only on one side.

You knew she was coming back.

To Melbourne, yes.

I'm not prepared for her to come back to St. Francis.

Well, she's on her way back in,

so you might wanna fast-track your preparation processes.

I'm not being clear. I would prefer i you didn't offer her those shifts.

-Why? -Because I would prefer it.

Because you've still got a monster boner for her.

-Yes. -What if that's not good enough?

And I'm emotionally unstable.

[sniffing]

What am I supposed to tell her?

Well, tell her there's been a misunderstanding,

and all the additional shifts have been allocated.

All right.

Fine.

You look like an idiot.

I'm aware of that.

[Nina] The bra's fine.

Probably won't get that far.

But what if we do?

I've got a confession to make.

Oh, really?

My kitchen's actually really big.

-Is it, really? -Yeah .

It really is.

There you are. Sorry to, uh, interrupt your fantasy

about the guy with the really big kitchen.

You touching yourself?

-Morning. -Hi.

-You're chipper today. -Am I?

Yeah.

Ah, Maria Cordell.

She's had an epidural about two hours ago.

-She's getting pretty close. -Yes.

Noah can't wait to meet his new little "titter".

He hasn't quite mastered his S's.

Yeah. Maria still wants to call the baby Shoshanna.

Get used to it.

That's actually a beautiful name. Is it Jewish, or...?

Yeah, it is. Thing is, we're not Jewish.

I'm pretty sure that's racist.

-Is that racist? -It could be.

Uh, or, in fact, anti-Semitic.

-That's what it is. -Yeah.

[Nina chuckles] Alrighty, we've hit

the magic 10 centimeter mark. Let's have this baby, shall we?

[Leo] All right.

[Cherie] Honey, I'm home.

There she is!

Okay, not too tight. That's too tight. [laughing]

[Cherie] Look at you!

[Kim] Look at you!

[laughing]

-Hi, I'm Cherie. -Elvis.

Elvis, obstetrician. Cherie, midwife.

Right. You had a baby with Nina's dad.

Yes, I did.

And a life-altering affair with Martin Clegg.

His words, not mine. Kim says you're coming back to work.

-I hope so. -Yeah, maybe not.

I didn't think there'd be a drama, but there is.

Cherie, welcome back-- to Melbourne.

Ah, it's good to be home.

You look really well.

As do you. [clears throat]

Well, must carry on.

-What was that? -He's an emotional retard.

I think he thinks he'll lose whatever's left of his shit

if he has to see you every day.

Martin.

[Cherie] Can I have a word?

Did you tell Kim not to rehire me?

No. I believe the additional shifts were already allocated.

Oh, what a crock of shit!

Hello, welcome.

[woman] Hi.

Is this how it's gonna be?

You can't even look at me.

I took it on the chin when you wouldn't take my calls.

I was on the road.

I'm home now.

You can't just pretend I don't exist.

Cherie, I've only

just come to terms with you being gone,

and I'm afraid I...

I just don't

have the strength to cope with your return.

Perhaps if I was as competent

emotionally as I am sexually.

But I'm not.

Forgive me.

[Nina] Okay, Maria. I've got her head in my hands.

-You're almost there. -[Leo] She is.

This is it. I need you to take one more deep breath in.

[Leo] Here we go.

Then push down as hard as you can.

-Push down, Maria. Big push. -Push harder.

-[Leo] That's it. -Ah. Some--

some--something's not right. I--

Okay, take another deep breath.

[Maria] I don't, I don't, I don't feel right.

-I'm--I'm having trouble breathing. -[Leo] That's okay. I'll get some oxy

-It's okay, baby. -[Nina] It's all right. Slow it down.

-Slow it down. -Here we go.

-[Nina] Breathe slowly. -[gasping]

-Deep breaths. Deep breaths. -Just relax.

Breathe in. Just breath. Just relax into it.

-It's okay. -Feel the oxygen. And breathe, Maria.

-Yeah and breathe. Maria, -[machine beeps]

can you hear me? Maria? Maria?

-Maria, can you hear me? -Wait, what's going on?

-[Nina] Keep talking to her, Russell. -[Leo] Maria?

-Get some help in here, Leo. -[Russell] Already done.

Here, here.

Multip, uneventful pregnancy and labor.

Epidural at six cm.

-[Leo] Very regular. -[Nina] No indicators,

just collapsed during ventouse.

One more gram of Adrenalin, thank you.

-[machine beeps] -[Martin counting]

We've got the baby. Delivering the baby now.

-[counting] -[machine continues beeping]

Here we go.

-[baby crying] -Baby's clear.

-[counting continues] -[baby wails]

[wailing continues]

[Martin] 3, 4, 5, 6...

-[Leo] We've got no pulse. -[Nina] Charging.

[Martin] 11, 12, 13, 14...

[Nina] Clear.

[machine toots, baby wailing]

Time of death 1:46 p.m.

[baby crying]

[Nina] Russel.

Maria has had a cardiac arrest and...

we were unable to resuscitate her.

I'm--I'm so sorry.

-But I-- -[baby crying]

-But she was fine. -[Nina] I know.

It happened very quickly.

She suffered acute respiratory failure.

She may have had some internal bleeding.

An embolism, a blood clot

that caused an obstruction,

but we won't know for sure

until we carry out some tests.

I'm so sorry.

[baby wails]

Uh.

Mm, ah.

-Can I just-- -Yeah, of course.

-[Leo] Of course. -[Nina] Yes.

[baby cries]

[Russell] Hey, hey, hey.

I'll be right outside the door.

-Okay. -[baby crying]

Come on, lay with mom.

Just lay with mom.

There you go.

That's it.

-It's okay. it's okay. -[baby whimpers]

[baby crying]

[Nina] Focus, Nina. Just fill in the blanks.

[melancholy music]

-Hey. -Hey.

Just, uh, thought I'd let you know that Russell and the baby

-are back in their room. -Oh, thank you.

Oh, hey. I really appreciated

the way you handled the whole situation.

Well, I've been in a few of those situations before.

Does it get any easier?

[clattering]

[Leo sighs deeply]

No.

Just more familiar.

I've been trying to work out what to say to Russell.

I've been-- I've been thinking about

what would've helped me

when--when I lost Patrick.

Whether there was anything that anyone could have said or done.

I can't think of anything.

[somber music]

[Billie] How good is that frontage?

[Jimmy] It's good frontage.

We're gonna have more hipster foot traffic than you could poke a stick a

[chuckles] It's great, Billie.

It doesn't get much better than this.

[Jimmy] Yeah, I mean, the kitchen needs a bit of work, but.

Wow.

Hey, have you--have told Mick that we're going into business together?

Yeah, we spoke the other day.

Was it supposed to be a secret?

-No. No, why would it be a secret? -All right.

Was he, was he asking about me, or...?

No. I think I brought it up.

Have you told him a--about,

me and Lawrence?

No, I--

I didn't think you were that serious about him.

I didn't think it was up to me.

So he hasn't asked if I'm seeing anyone?

We--we don't really talk

about you and him anymore.

-I should get her home. -Okay.

-Yeah. -I might have another look.

-Okay. -Okay.

[Jimmy] Hey, Billie.

I think this might just be the one.

Okay.

Maybe I'm thinking about it too much.

You know, I'm not getting any younger,

and I have feelings for Lawrence, you know?

It's just so big.

And through this, I'm not sure that I'm in love with hi

[Zoe mumbles]

Yeah. Maybe I don't need to be sure that I love him.

You know, 'cause plenty of mismatched people have kids together.

You know, people who hate each other have kids together,

and the kids survive. Most of the time.

[Zoe coughs]

Oh! Look who's here...

already.

Thomas.

-[Billie] Hi. -Hi. Oh.

Hey.

-[Thomas] Hi, Zoe. -[Zoe gurgles]

Hi.

-It's Billie. -Yeah, no, I know. We met at pool.

Um, I think I might be a bit early.

I knocked, but I wasn't sure if I should...

I can just come back.

No, no, no. Don't be silly. You're here now. Come on in.

-[Thomas] Okay. -[Billie] Yeah.

[door slams shut]

Quite a load you've got there.

Hope it's not too much. I'm making goulash.

Interesting choice.

Yeah. It's an old family recipe.

-Is that right? -Yeah.

So, Nins tells me that you've got a--

a prohibitively small kitchen.

That's true.

That must be frustrating.

Oh, it's not ideal.

So, do you, do a lot of cooking?

Not really.

So this is really just to get a foot in the door?

Pretty much.

-I just wanted to impress your sister -With goulash?

And with homemade garlic flatbread.

-So you're bringing out the big guns? -Oh, yes. I am.

[clattering]

So, where are your parents from?

Dad is German and mom's a Kiwi,

and I grew up in New Zealand.

Hm.

Oh, New Zealand? I was there, it's a little while back now.

Um, I spoke at an international conference.

I was one of the speakers.

Oh, great.

Nah, not really. I, um, had an anxiety attack

and threw up all over the front row.

Oh.

So your parents are still together?

They are.

Oh.

And, um, any siblings?

Just one brother. Are you guys close?

We are, yeah. He's Rocco's godfather.

-Oh. Are you a religious family? -Not really.

-Own any Nickelback CDs? -No.

Ever slept with a man?

-Sorry? -[Billie laughs]

Kidding. That's too far.

-Overruled. Can I get you a drink? -[cellphone rings]

-Yeah. -Oh, this'll be Nina.

Oh, no. Not Nina, It's--

-Billie Proudman. -Hey,

-it's me. -[rustling]

[Billie] Yes.

H--How's your day going?

Good, thank you, and you?

-[Lawrence] Are you at work? -Ah, no,

I'm just, um...

-I'll just... -Yeah, sure.

Okay, there's a big bald Kiwi in my kitchen

making what could be pre-sex dinner.

And I'm drilling him.

Subtly, like a, like a probe.

A gentle probe.

Okay.

I--I'm trying to understand, but I'm struggling.

Nina's new friend Thomas is cooking dinner for Nina in the kitchen.

She's not home from work yet, so I'm entertaining/probing.

[Lawrence] Why are you whispering?

I don't want him to know who I'm talking to.

[Lawrence] Okay, and why is that?

I don't want to accidentally let slip that Nina has a history of mental ill

Nina doesn't have a history of mental illness.

That's good. That's helpful.

Are we still on for dinner?

Yeah, yeah. As soon as Nins gets here,

-I'll head over. -Okay. I'll see you then.

Okay, bye.

[phone rings]

It's Nina. Leave me a message after the tone.

[whispering] Hi, um, it's us. Ah, Zoe's fine.

Um, just calling to let you know that Thomas is here.

Already. He's cooking goulash.

Give me an ETA if you could just give us a call when you can.

[phone clicks]

[clattering]

[baby wails]

How's the feeding going? .

Okay, I think.

She's taken about 15 mils.

Good.

She looks pretty happy there.

[baby moans]

She's so beautiful.

[sighs]

I was looking at her before, and, um,

I forgot.

Just for a second.

I just keep getting caught up in her.

How perfect she is.

And then...

[Nina] You remember.

And then I remember.

I don't think I can do this without her.

You're already doing it.

[clattering]

[phone clicks]

[sighs]

-[chuckling] -[Billie] Mm.

Finally.

Please tell me you aren't still at work.

I'm still at work.

Well, you're missing an outrageously good pinot.

And the smells coming out of this kitchen.

[Nina] Billie.

I lost a patient today.

She gave birth to her child, and then she died.

And we couldn't resuscitate her.

Oh, shit.

I just don't think I can see Thomas.

[Billie] No, Okay. I'll--I'll take care of that.

Are you okay?

Yep, think so.

[Billie] Oh. Just take your time,

and we'll see you when you get here.

Okay, thanks.

[phone beeps]

Is everything okay?

Um,

not really.

[sighs]

[sighs]

How's the urine?

-[thump] -Phillip.

I'm still urinating. Thank you for asking.

-No light-headedness? -No. Unfortunately.

Not a drop.

She's completely fixated.

Can you please just--

Can you please just talk to her, try to reassure her?

I tried.

I'll try again.

[clears throat]

[exhales]

How are you?

Still good, thank you.

Is this all your research?

May I?

-Yeah. -[paper rustling]

Mm. Amazing what you can get online these days.

GAMSAT?

Are you...

considering medical school?

No. Nope, I was just having a look at some stuff online.

-You've got the whole booklet here. -Yeah.

I must've printed that accidentally.

Really?

Yes, really.

Right.

Well, that's a shame, because...

I imagine you'd make a fine doctor.

Well, I'm a bit busy pretending to be a fine mother

-just at the moment. -[chuckling]

But thank you for saying that, Phillip.

It's very kind of you.

Not at all. [chuckles]

Hi.

That's it.

Did she sleep?

She thought about it.

-Sort of. -He brought flowers.

I had a bowl and a bit.

Good girl.

Do you want to talk about it?

Not really.

I think I just need to be with Zoe.

And you're supposed to be having dinner with Lawrence.

No, it's okay. I called him. I'll get there when I get there.

[Zoe whimpers]

-Oh. -Mm.

[baby gibberish]

Did you get a chance to think about the baby question?

[Zoe gurgles]

I did.

And?

Jury's still out.

You should go and talk to him.

You--you sure you don't want me to hang around?

I'm sure.

Okay.

[Zoe whimpers]

Oh, and...

for what it's worth, Thomas is really great company.

And he said to call or text when you're ready.

I really liked him, Nins.

You look after your mom.

Oh.

[sultry mexican music]

Here we go, guys.

Thank you.

You're very welcome.

-[Leo] Why don't you ask her out? -What?

She's been trying to flirt with you for the past hour.

-Fuck off. -Okay.

Define flirting.

Well. [clears throat]

I'm pretty shit with the whole sexy, romantic, science of attraction

kind of thing, for me.

But in a strange and slightly cruel twist of fate,

I'm very good at noticing when people have the hots for other people.

You'd have to be a special type of asshole to toy with me about this.

There's nothing special about this asshole, I assure you.

[Elvis] Cherie could probably sue if she wanted to.

-What? -You can't not hire someone

because you had sex with them, and you want to have more sex with them,

and they won't let you.

[Martin] Hola!

Grrr!

Sorry I'm late.

[clears throat]

Ah, [In Spanish] cerveza, por favor.

Oh, what are we talking about?

Ah, romance.

Ah, yes.

[In French] Affaires de coeur. [clicks tongue]

Tricky business. Are we dissecting anyone in particular?

Actually, I was just, um, asking about Patrick.

I was just thinking about Nina, and how hard today must have been for her

and, um, it just made me wonder about what kind of man he was.

He was honorable.

No fanfare, no bullshit.

[Martin] Yes, he was a man of few words.

Oh, [In Spanish] gracias.

How did that, um, how did that work with Nina?

Well, uh...

Their relationship was not without its difficulties.

[Kim] Yeah, they pushed each other's buttons, all right.

[Martin] Oh, my God.

Gave each other the shits most of the time.

Yes. Theirs was not a standard love story.

Nope.

But it was real.

Indeed it was.

To real love stories.

[Martin] Yeah.

-[Zoe crying] -Good girl.

[shushes]

-Hey. Off to sleep. -[crying continues]

Come on.

[Nina] Not tonight, Zoe, please not tonight.

-[Martin] Good evening. -[Darcy chuckles]

-Martin. -Yes.

Everything all right?

Yes, I, uh, just wanted a brief word with Cherie.

Right. Um, she's just putting Ray back to bed. Come on in.

Ah, would, oh--

Yeah. Cherie did say that, um,

you two had words earlier.

-Did she? Oh. -Mm.

Well, the fact is that, um, I've been, um,

struggling... somewhat to contain my.

affection for Cherie for some...

[clicks tongue] time.

Mm. [clicks tongue]

-Well, I can relate to that. -Huh?

Not Cherie, with Geraldine.

Oh.

[chuckles]

You see,

I had hoped that our recent separation might serve

to dampen the fire somewhat,

-but, uh-- -[Martin chuckles]

Well, I'm afraid, um...

It's only made things worse?

-Funny that. -Yes.

-Hm. -Hm.

But, you know,

I've come to the realization

that Geraldine is an indelible part of my life,

and always will be.

No matter how much it hurts.

[Cherie] What's, uh,

-what's going on here? -[Darcy] Oh.

[clears throat] Man--Man talk.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

Good chat.

Hi-ho.

-What do you want? -[Martin] Well, I, um,

I came here because I want to...

I want to apologize for my behavior earlier today.

Well, go on, then.

Cherie, you are an exceptional midwife,

and an absolute joy to be around.

And upon reflection, I cannot in all good conscience deny

your unique blend of charm and professionalism

to my patients or to my staff.

What are you trying to say?

Please come back to work.

I thought you said that was too hard for you.

It's not going to be easy, but you're worth it.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Martin.

[Billie] I'm so sorry for being so late.

It really doesn't matter.

But your souffles have gone all droopy.

Well, they'll still taste the same.

Will they?

I don't know, and I don't care.

Yeah.

You are the calmest, neatest,

most even-tempered man I have ever slept with.

Thank you?

And you--you're k--kind,

and thoughtful, and--

Well, you're so chiseled.

It's like you've been carved

out of some very hot man stone.

And what-- what you said last night,

it completely blew me away.

I just don't think I'm ready.

I think you'll make a great dad,

and I want to be really clear about the fact that I'm not saying no

But it's just...

huge for me.

And I--I need to take,

you know, one step at a time.

Okay.

Okay.

[mobile phone rings]

[ringing continues]

[Thomas] Hi.

[Nina] Hi.

I--I just wanted to ring and say thank you.

For everything.

[Thomas] Oh, I didn't do much.

Yeah, you did.

I'm glad that you called, actually.

I was just wondering how you are.

I'm okay.

I think.

Okay.

-Where are you? -Oh, I'm just walking.

Where are you walking?

I wanna try some of your droopy souffle.

Do you want some?

I might be asleep by the time you get back.

Mm.

I'll be back.

[tranquil music]

[chair clacks]

-Mm. -[phone beeps]

[phone clicks]

[Thomas] Rocco didn't even really start sleeping

through till a few months ago.

[Nina] The more I need her to be asleep,

the harder she fights to stay awake.

They're not very nice.

-And they don't care. -No.

They really don't care.

-They don't care. -They really don't care!

[chuckling]

Oh, I just feel like I'm running on empty.

All the time.

Probably 'cause you are.

Do--do you ever feel--

Do you ever worry...

that you're not--

enough?

All the time.

I so desperately want to be everything Zoe needs me to be.

And I'm shit-scared that I'm not enough.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, and I jus

panic.

I rewind through the day,

and try and work out how I could've been more...

present for her.

Sometimes I'm just so fucking tired,

that I have to remind myself to enjoy her.

She's the highlight of my life and I have to remind myself

to enjoy her.

I can't even imagine what you went through today.

And I really tried.

I was trying to work out what I could say or do

to try to help, but I couldn't think of anything.

You might be shit-scared and exhausted,

but you're here, Nina.

And you're doing it all anyway.
