Oh, you're up already! Happy birthday!
Thanks.
What's wrong with you?
Oh, I thought you would've seen it.
It's just something little.
You can open it whenever.
Thank you.
- Oh
- Sorry.
Yeah, no, of course. It's the big day.
Okay, um, I will be back early afternoon
and then we can get cracking
on that dinner of yours.
Is Grandma coming?
Do you want her to?
Then she's coming.
Okay, I uh, I really have to go.
Well, have a great day.
I'm excited for tonight.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
So, do you think balloons are too much?
For an 18th?
Yeah. Not the crappy ones.
The helium ones.
Uh Unless they're full of alcohol.
- (LAUGHS)
- Yeah, that's a terrible idea.
- Righto.
- (LAUGHS)
- Killjoy.
- It's exciting, though, huh?
- Little family affair for you. Huh?
- Yeah.
- Mmm.
- You too.
- What do you mean?
- You, Laney, your sperm
What No. No, no, no.
No, no, no, that was, um
That's purely hypothetical.
That was just two friends
shooting shit over a dinner.
Alright. Does she know
about that, 'Sperminator'?
Yeah, I think Sperminator?
Don't. Yuck.
And I definitely didn't say yes.
There was no I definitely didn't.
There was no verbal confirmation.
Did she say there was
verbal confirmation?
Okay. Celina. So, it's a first baby.
Uncomplicated pregnancy.
The only thing we kind of need to
keep an eye on is her family.
I've handled many a family
in my time, Grace Cresswell.
- I got you covered.
- Okay. We'll see.
- Yiayia.
- Good. You are here, eh?
- We're here.
- And who is this?
This is Max. Max, this is
Celina's grandmother. Yiayia.
Oh, please, please.
Help yourself to food.
There's moussaka, there's salads,
whatever you want.
Yiayia, you don't mess around.
- Of course not.
- Hey, George.
- Hey, Grace.
- Dimitri.
You made it.
- Is this more food?
- Oh, this is nothing.
Nothing?
- Eva. Hi. How you going?
- Hey. Good.
There's so much to do, guys.
Outside, outside.
- Uh, where should we put our stuff?
- Uh, just here is fine.
Okay.
(LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION)
Hey, uh, just so you know,
I was put on the spot by Laney.
(LAUGHS) Yeah, she does that.
- Hey, she's on the way.
- Oh, okay.
(IN GREEK) Paithia, fiyetai apo ekei!
'Cause if I'd known that
she was actually asking me
Max Not the time.
Roger that.
- Oh, Grace, finally.
- Celina. Hi. How you feeling?
- Oh, I'm calm. Breathing.
- Good.
- Oh, who's this?
- Uh, this is Max.
- He's gonna be assisting today.
- Oooh
Hey, how about we, um
how about we find a quiet room
and we can check out and the bub?
Yep.
(PANTS)
(MOBILE PHONE TRILLS)
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)
Come on, bub. Oh, I know. Oh Oh
- (MOBILE PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)
- (BABY GURGLES)
Hey. Happy birthday.
Thanks.
What do you want to do today?
You want to watch a movie or something?
Dad, you don't have to hang out
with me. I'm not five.
Your mum would be so
proud of you, you know.
(BABY GURGLES)
Anyway, I'll see you
in a bit, birthday girl.
- Dad, please don't make a fuss
- (CALL ENDS)
- (PHONE TRILLS)
- (SIGHS)
Come on. Yeah, come on
- (SIREN WAILS IN THE DISTANCE)
-
I'm sorry. You are nowhere close.
You're kidding.
Best thing to do go home, have
some paracetamol, get some rest.
(LAUGHS) With Tilly and
Flynn running round,
Mum chasing after them, it's chaos.
Oh, well, can't Eric
take them out for a bit?
We broke up about six months ago.
Oh, Martha Are you okay?
I knew it was over after our second.
And to be honest,
it's been easier without him.
Sit tight. Let me see what we can do.
(DOOR OPENS)
We're at capacity. Where
am I supposed to put her?
We'll find a way.
- Christina
- Sorry.
- I should've made an appointment.
- No, no, no. No, no.
Um, it's totally fine.
How can I help?
It might be a bit late
but I've kind of fallen in love
with the idea of a natural birth.
I wanted to see if I can transfer
to the Birthing Centre.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, we'll have to get
your medical files
but that won't be an issue,
so, welcome.
I mean, you didn't have to come
all the way down here for that.
I'll just make some calls,
set you up with a midwife.
- I'm sure Grace is available.
- I'd prefer you.
Sorry?
I know it sounds crazy
but I just really want someone
in the room that I trust.
What's the matter, birthday girl?
You don't like your birthday shandy?
You know you don't have to put
'birthday' in front of everything?
Hey, I get one day a year, okay?
One day. Let me have it.
Well, I can't drink
because I'm breastfeeding.
- At least it won't go to waste now.
- What?
- (SQUEALS)
- Hi!
Oh, my God!
- You're back!
- Hey.
- Oh, I missed you so much!
- Oh, same!
Is this Oh, my goodness!
Hello, little Eadie!
Oh, and her little hands too
Aren't you just scrumptious!
Hi, Div.
- Sorry, Mr. G. How are you?
- Good.
- Is that a shandy?
- It is.
- Go ahead. It's fine.
- Thank you.
We're about to hit the shops.
And then are you gonna
join us for dinner?
Oh, yeah. Of course.
Alright, well, are you girls
ready to hit it or what?
- (LAUGHS)
- It's fine.
Oh, my God. I didn't even notice.
- This is beautiful.
- Thank you.
This colour looks so good.
- Alright. I see how it is.
- This looks so nice, though.
What the heck! I never
see you in this colour.
- Me in a dress? I know.
- Yeah, I know. Crazy. What the hell?
See you later.
Um, dinner?
Dad's gonna cook and
Grace will be there, okay?
Oooh, birth mum?
I can't do it alone.
Fine. But one night
there will be body shots.
Yes. Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
GRACE: That's it.
Just focus on your breathing.
It'll be over soon, I promise.
Nearly done.
- (MOANS)
- Try and slow down your breathing.
- Okay?
- That's good. You're doing good.
- (EXHALES)
- Good.
- You're doing so well.
- (GROANS)
- Slow it down. Slow it down
- Celina, eat.
- Keep your energy up.
- Thea, I don't think she's hungry.
- She's having a baby.
- Celina, do you want a back massage?
- I just gave her one.
- Okay, ladies.
How about we give Celina a minute, yeah?
Grace said to come back in ten.
We're back in ten.
She just said that to make you go away.
- God, Thea. Did you?
- I thought you had this.
Grace, you don't have any kids, do you?
- Uh, I I do, see
- How old?
Um, 18. Today, actually.
And how come you've never
mentioned a kid before?
Um, Max is a dad.
Are you still with the mum?
(LAUGHS) She wants
to know if you're single.
- (LAUGHS)
- (LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION)
Okay, everybody, can I have
your attention, please?
I appreciate that you
all care for Celina
but right now what she
needs is a bit of space,
so can everybody please leave?
- (CELINA MOANS)
- (IN GREEK) Ela. Ela tora.
Tha fiyoumai. Ohi. Tora.
Amesos. Exo. Fiyai.
Thank you.
- Thanks.
- MAN: (IN GREEK) George, ela, re.
Come on. Get out of here.
- Thank you, George.
- GEORGE: Coming.
(SIGHS) Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Oh
Slow that breathing down,
okay? Slow it down.
(EXHALES)
SOPHIA: (ON VOICEMAIL)
Hey, it's Sophia. Leave a message.
Hey, birthday girl. Um, quick question.
Do you like cheesecake?
There's a bakery around the corner
that does an amazing
blueberry cheesecake.
Um, but, you know, if you prefer
chocolate, that's so fine.
Just, yeah, let me know. Send me a text.
Bye.
My daughter's 18th.
Oh. The crazies begin.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
Thought you could use this.
Oh, thank you!
(IN GREEK) Ela tho, skatouli!
I'm sorry about my family.
None of them have
what you call that, um
- Boundaries?
- That's the one.
No, I should be the one apologising.
No, it had to be done.
You're very lucky to have
such a beautiful big family.
So are you.
And your daughter?
(SIGHS) It's It's complicated.
Well, I came to Australia
a long time ago,
alone, with no family.
I had to make my own.
- (LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION)
- (LAUGHS)
My community was my family.
And then I met Stefano
and we had George.
You know, families don't always
look the way you think.
Laney, this is insane.
The three of us in the same room
together when my baby is born?
- What were you thinking?
- She asked me.
- What was I supposed to say?
- No. You say no.
Room four's scheduled
to leave in an hour.
- Want me to set it up for Martha?
- Yeah, pop her name on the board.
We'll leave her progress empty.
We'll update as things get moving.
Sorry, what What's going on?
I have a woman who's not in labour
yet but she's got family issues,
so she's exhausted.
Then she should be sent home.
We're not a hotel.
Uh, since when have you cared
which woman goes in what room?
I'm the executive director
of operations.
- It's my job to care.
- (SCOFFS)
Yeah, we both know what this is about.
If there's no medical reason
for her being here,
then she shouldn't be.
Send her home.
(SIGHS)
(LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION)
Hope it's going alright in there. Eh?
Mmm.
- Hey, Max.
- Hey.
- You been sent outside as well?
- (LAUGHS) No.
- You boys good?
- We stay where we're told.
Move when called.
So, you're a dad, huh?
- You got any advice?
- Uh
Opa.
Here we go.
- He's been doing this all morning.
- Ha.
Getting a bit nervous, are we?
No, I just want to be prepared,
know what to expect.
Nothing can prepare you. Nothing.
You have a baby,
your life turns upside down.
But we wouldn't have it any other way.
Right, Maxy?
- Yeah Yeah.
- (PATS DIMITRI'S BACK)
(MOANING)
Excuse us. Dimitri, it's go time.
Best day of your life.
(MOANS)
Keep going. Almost there.
Almost there, okay?

- Yes.
Home until your labour establishes
or your waters break, okay?
Thanks.
- One sec.
- Okay.
Hey, uh, we were sort of hoping
she'd be all good to stay.
I'm not following.
We thought we'd maybe need
to keep her overnight
with her blood pressure being high
- But it's not.
- I know. But she's exhausted.
We just need a medical
reason to keep her
- So you want me to lie for you?
- No.
It's for Martha. She wants to stay.
It's one tiny favour.
I'm not doing it.
Unfortunately, we can't
technically give you a room
but we can pop you in the staff
overnight room for tonight
- Oh
- on the down-low, of course.
- You're a godsend.
- Sasha will keep an eye on you.
And we'll pop you in a room
when things start moving.
- Thank you, Laney.
- Hey, don't thank me.
Thank Sasha.
It was her idea.
Thank you, Sasha.

- Oh, my God.
(LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION)
- You're not on tonight.
- No. Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm just, um
Just feeling a bit What's up?
Uh, so, before you get too attached
to the whole, uh, donor thing,
there's there's something
you should know.
- (DOOR OPENS)
- Paul
- What?
- (DOOR CLOSES)
I was hoping to have a word.
- Chat tomorrow.
- Sure thing.
If you're gonna check the
birthing board, she's not on it.
Look, I'm sorry about earlier
but hearing you'll be at the birth,
it kind of smacked me
I know that it'll be weird at first
but once things get going,
you won't even notice I'm there.
But I will.
Paul
- Don't
- I know. I'm
I'm not trying to get back together.
I just wish things were different.
Well, they're not.
You're having a baby with Christina.
And I've moved on.
(POP MUSIC PLAYS FAINTLY)
DIANE: Mmm. Delicious, Grace.
Thank you.
KIRK: It's really good.
OMAR: The lasagne and nachos
is quite an interesting combo.
Was this your choice, Sophia?
Not really. (LAUGHS)
What? You want it every year.
Not since Mum died.
Oh. Sorry.
Just assumed.
Sorry It's okay.
Dad just still thinks I'm five. (LAUGHS)
Fathers tend to be like that
with their daughters.
Mmm.
- But you're 18 now.
- Yes, she is.
Mmm?
So, what's next? Have you got any plans?
I haven't really thought
past the adoption.
(CLEARS THROAT)
- GRACE: Hip-hip
- OTHERS: Hooray!
- Hip-hip
- Hooray!
- Make a wish.
- Really?
- Oh, come on.
- Come on.
(BLOWS)
(OTHERS CHEER AND APPLAUD)
Bravo! Bravo!
So, what did you wish for?
This to end.
(HALF-LAUGHS)
- KIRK: Okay, it's present time.
- Dad
- And this is for ?
- Your new car.
(GASPS) Wow.
- It reminds me of Herbie the Love Bug.
- Eh!
Mikey's fixing it up,
so by the time you learn
how to drive, it'll be ready.
DIV: Oh, my God. You have
to take me out for a spin.
Thanks, Dad. It's really cool.
Okay. You haven't opened mine yet.
- KIRK: Oooh
- Oh
So, you can open it up
and put a little picture in there
of someone special.
My dad got me a locket for
my 18th and I loved it.
Well, actually, I bought it.
He just put his name on the card.
No, you didn't.
Oh, he was very busy,
with his other family.
- What other family?
- Nothing. My dad remarried.
But she wasn't in the picture then.
The divorce wasn't even finalised.
- You don't talk about him much.
- There's not much to say, really.
(HALF-LAUGHS)
Like Grace. She never
mentions my birth dad.
So I wonder if she even
knows who he is
- KIRK: Sophia
- I know who he is.
He left without a word
and I never saw him again.
- Let's cut the cake.
- Actually, Div and I are leaving.
DIV: Oh, are we?
Well, Div's only here for a night
and we want to make the most of it.
Plus, I have a house
full of babysitters.
You don't mind, do you?
- No. Not at all.
- (KIRK CLEARS THROAT)
You haven't even cut the cake.
(BANG!)
DIV: Thanks for dinner. It was great.
- Yeah, have a good night.
- See you.
DIANE: Bye.
KIRK: Keep your phone on.
I want updates.
I'm going for a walk.
Back later.
JIM: Hey-hey-hey, birthday girl!
- You gonna hit the town, get lit?
- Something like that.
Alright. Be safe.
(DOOR CLOSES)
(LAUGHS) Look at this. Everyone's here.
Actually, um, we should
get going, I think.
Really?
Oh Cheesecake.
OMAR: Thanks, Grace.
Grace, I'm I'm sorry.
We'll just, um see
ourselves out, then, alright?
Yep
So, uh, I just finished work
and thought I'd come and
grab a couple of my boxes
but it's not a good time?
('CHAMELEON' BY PNAU PLAYS)

DIV: Listen to me, okay?
- Tonight, Sophia Gilbert is not a mum.

I mean, obviously, your
boobs are, like, kapow.
- Stop!

Excuse me. Can we

- How you going in here?
- (HALF-LAUGHS)
- Happy?
- You don't have kids, do you?
Well I'm working on it.
(GASPS) Oh, who's the lucky man?
No. No man. I am planning
on doing it alone.
Right.
- (LAUGHS)
- Sorry.
No, lots of women choose to do it solo.
- I wasn't expecting to, is all.
- That is okay.
And don't get me wrong, I love it.
It just took me a bit to get used to.
I mean, Mum practically lives
with me. My sister's down the road.
- And friends?
- It's different.
There's only so many times you can call
before they question whether to pick up.
(HALF-LAUGHS)
And what about you?
You've got family here?
Parents are in Adelaide.
Brother's in Canberra. (LAUGHS)
But I've got Grace and,
I mean, she's like family.
Right. Yeah. That's good.
(HALF-LAUGHS)
Good.

Please, let me catch my
breath, let me catch my breath ♪

Why didn't we eat?
'Cause of your mum.
Don't call her that.
Oh You look
Oh, I need to go.
(VOMITS)
- Can you hold my hair up?
- Yes.
(VOMITS)
- Where do you want these things?
- In there.
Well, that was a disaster.
She practically ran out.
Listen, I'm sorry about before, okay?
You wanted this to work. We both did.
I think we just both tried
a little bit too hard.
I think you're right.
I screwed dinner up.
Yeah, well, I screwed
everything up, so
No, you were great.
(SETS GLASS DOWN)
Where do you want this thing?
Um, it goes in here.
(PHONE RINGS)
Hang on, hang on, hang on
Sorry, sorry, sorry
Mum, what's wrong?
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
I'm just letting you know
that Sophia's here with me.
She is drunk.
- Is everything okay?
- Sophia's at Mum's place.
- She's drunk.
- What's the address?
No, just tell him there's
no need for that.
Hang on, hang on
I'm just about to put her
to bed, let her sleep it off.
Okay.
- Thanks, Mum.
- Bye.
(GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS)
She's fine. She just went too hard.
- We've all been there.
- (HALF-LAUGHS)
Yep.
Um, alright, I'm gonna
go back to the hotel
and I'll speak to you tomorrow.
Yeah. Of course.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
(GROANS)
(CROCKERY CLATTERS NEARBY)
Ah. Had quite the night last night.
- I don't want to think about it.
- (LAUGHS)
How's Eadie?
Oh, she's good. She's with Grace.
It's weird not having to
get up during the night.
I doubt you could've.
(HALF-LAUGHS)
God, I'm sorry about last night.
I must've drunk
too fast or something.
That's alright. I understand.
Everyone's acting like it's normal.
Well, it sort of is, really.
Mum should be here.
(SETS CUTLERY DOWN)
I mean, it's my 18th.
I just miss her so much.
I'm really sorry, Sophia.
It's fine.
Could you stomach an omelette?
Mmm. Yeah. (LAUGHS) That'd be good.
Good.
Did you know my dad?
Uh, yeah.
Can you tell me who he is?
I don't actually think this
is the kind of conversation
She won't talk about him.
Well, she will
when she's ready.
- MAX: Big night, huh?
- Yeah. I think I ate something weird.
(HALF-LAUGHS)
Eh, so, the reason, uh, I came in
last night was I wanted to talk
Oh, yeah. Hey, about that, hey,
listen, I'm thinking maybe not.
- The whole donor situation.
- Oooh.
Yeah, I just think I need to
slow down, get my ducks in order.
It's all moving a bit fast.
Right. Yeah.
But thank you for considering it.
Oh No, I thought it was all
hypothetical anyway, so I
I wasn't really, um
Did I do something?
Believe it or not, Max,
this isn't about you.
No, yeah, of course. (LAUGHS)
I, uh I realised that I want
to be a dad with a partner,
like a real dad, next time I have a kid.
- Good.
- Yeah.
- So, we're good, then?
- Oh, yeah.
- Okay.
- Okay.
JIM: Oh, you are a baby whisperer.
That tip you gave, he actually slept.
Yeah? How about you?
Oh, a couple of hours, broken
into ten-minute intervals.
(LAUGHS)
- So, um, Omar, is he, uh
- Dating my mother?
- So, I'm not crazy!
- Yep.
He's a brave man.
Well, that's the last of your stuff.
So, what, you were actually
gonna chuck these out?
- You haven't played golf in years.
- And?
Jeez.
So, uh, how was the rest of your night?
It's hard to be a mother
when you're not one.
- I know, right? Parenting!
- (LAUGHS) It hasn't even been a week.
Yeah, well, it feels like a lifetime.
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
- It's open!
- Alright, well, I'll, um
I'll come back for
the rest of this stuff.
- You're not gonna use them.
- You don't know that.
Oh, hey. Here he is.
You must be, uh, Sophia's dad.
- Yeah. Kirk.
- Yeah. Jim.
The ex.
So, uh, how'd you go last night?
Aren't the Creswell
family dinners a treat?
Yeah, it was, um, very eventful.
Cool.
Well, um, I should probably
get to work, Jim, so
Yeah. Rightio.
- So, I'll take Eadie.
- Yeah.
Mmm
And her stuff?
Uh, it's at the front door.
Front door. Okay.
So, we'll chat later.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Mmm.
- Good to meet you, Jim.
- You too, mate.
Come on, baby. Hello.
Seems like a nice bloke.
Contractions are long and strong.
Labour's moving quickly.
Good. How are you feeling, Martha?
Good. Glad it's finally happening.
Everything is tracking along nicely.
(EXHALES)
- Are you okay?
- Yeah. Long night.
How is your pain?
Fine.
Oh, no, I'm not.
- Yep.
- No, I'm not.
- Sit there.

Hey, Sasha, do you mind
I'll be right back.
- Yeah. No worries.

(LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION)
Heard you had a visitor
in the overnight room.
I see you ignored everything I said.
I chose not to listen.
- Good outcome, nonetheless.
- Surprise, surprise.
Sash, I'm sorry. You've just never
done something like that before.
Yeah, well, this is the new
and improved Sasha
that speaks in third person.
You saw me breaking the rules.
I saw us giving a single mother some TLC
before she pushed her third baby out.
If we can help, we do it.
Okay. I hear you and I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Also, I'm banning myself
from the Birthing Centre.
(LAUGHS) What?
You guys do things differently here
and you're definitely going to ask me
to do something I don't want to do
and I'm probably going
to do it because
I'm in love with you.
So, I'm going to leave before you
ask me to do some other crazy thing.
But I'll see you tonight?
Sasha says that you will.
(LAUGHS)
DIANE: Oh! This is a nice surprise.
- What time did she call you?
- About 11:00.
- Why didn't you call me sooner?
- Grace, she's 18.
She got shitfaced. It happens.
Look, I'm really sorry about last night.
I wanted it to be perfect
for everyone and I so blew it
Mum, it's fine. Just Is she okay?
She She's missing her mother.
You may have contributed.
I didn't even think.
I just was so focused
on making her day special.
Oh, well, that's motherhood.
Sometimes things blow up in your face
despite your best intentions.
And she asked about her
father again this morning.
Well, I told her the truth.
What else can I say?
What's going on?
You may not have told her
the whole truth.
Sorry?
It was never gonna be the
right time to tell you this.
In my defence, it was a
very brief conversation.
I certainly wasn't expecting
him to disappear.
What are you talking about?
I had a word to Rohan
about you before he left.
What?
You were wagging school,
you were dropping classes
- Mum
- You were going down
a very weird road with that boy
- What did you do?
- and I
I simply told him that if he really
cared about you, he would
back off a bit, that's all.
Just let you focus, you know.
I had no idea you were pregnant.
(GASPS)
So, this whole time, I've hated him
I felt that I had no other choice
but to give up my daughter
- He still left you, Grace
- Because of you!
- Grace
- Just
Just don't!
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Hey. Sorry I'm late.
Some stuff came up. Are you good to go?
I'm not coming.
Sorry?
(EXHALES)
I never should've found you.
After my mum died, I thought,
you know, if I met you,
maybe I'd feel better.
But I don't.
I just want my mum
and you acting like her, it
So, I'm staying with Diane
until the adoption's over.
Here?
Yeah.
Dad will pick up my stuff.
Sorry.
Oh That's fine.
Whatever you need.
I'm sorry that it's been so confusing.
But if you want to stay here, then
- And if you change your mind
- I won't.
well, you know where to find me.
I'm sorry for just showing up
at the Birthing Centre that day.
I shouldn't have done that.
Don't apologise.
It was the best day of my life.
