00:00You okay?
00:02What is up? Been quiet all morning. Have I?
00:05Is it work? Or are you not feeling well? I just didn't sleep great. My bad.
00:12You worrying about something?
00:14Tell me. It's probably nothing. Ah, so it is something. Come on, do you want me going to work? I'm worrying about you all day.
00:21Okay, my period's a couple of days late. It's not a big deal.
00:25Belle, why didn't you say? Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. I'm being an idiot. I'm obviously not pregnant.
00:32Of course. I just don't like the idea of you worrying for nothing.
00:38Piper, you are not helping me get this quote on. Right, stay there.
00:46We need to do a test.
00:48I'm a couple of days late. It's no biggie. Well, I mean you could be pregnant. I'd say that's a biggie.
00:52I'm on the pill. People don't get pregnant on the pill.
00:55They can, but I've not been sick or missed one. Don't you want to know for sure? Just set your mind at ease.
01:02Yeah, if I've not come on by the weekend, maybe.
01:09Tom, I've got to get this quote done urgently.
01:13Okay, I'll do it at lunch. You finish your thing,
01:17and I'll come back later.
01:23I
01:30Stop staring on it. I don't even think I want to know.
01:41I know the timing's off,
01:43because you want to build your career,
01:46but I said I'd support you 100% and I will. We can work around it.
01:51Work around it how?
01:54You've got plenty of time to establish yourself in this new job,
01:58and then we can afford for you to take maternity leave.
02:01Oh, paternity leave? Well, I mean, I wish we could survive without my full salary for a couple years. Two years?
02:08Whatever's best for you and the baby.
02:11Look, I could do the night feeds and
02:14my share on the weekends, but if working full-time is too much for you, you could go part-time.
02:20And as a wedding planner, you could easily work from home.
02:24I'm just
02:26trying to make the best of it, Belle.
02:28Do you not think we're just getting carried away with ourselves a little bit?
02:30Well, I mean, it's kind of a big deal.
02:34You could be carrying our first child.
02:40I don't want to look.
02:42I'll do it.
02:43No, no, no, let me.
02:51So, what's the verdict? Pregnant or not pregnant?
03:02I'm sorry.
03:09It's okay.
03:13Come here. Don't be silly.
03:18I don't blame you at all.
03:21You
03:24must be so relieved.
03:26Well, we both agreed it wasn't the right time.
03:29Well, I just want you to be happy.
03:31And if that means my dream of having a family has to be put on hold for what you want, fine.
03:36I don't think it's selfish wanting more time me and you.
03:39Honestly, I wouldn't want it anyway. Not with you being like this.
03:43I'd want you to be just as excited as I am.
03:46I'd come home from work and you'd be there with a positive test.
03:50Maybe you would have even gift-wrapped it and we'd sit down together and we'd open it and we'd be so happy that we cry.
03:56So, yeah, I'm glad it's negative.
04:01Tom, I am so sorry. We are gonna have that one day and I'm not saying never, am I?
04:08Where are you going?
04:09I'm gonna go see my uni mates.
04:10Okay, okay. We'll have fun. I love you.
04:21Yep, he went and bought a test. I did it. It was negative.
04:24What? Are you on the pill?
04:26Yeah. I was a few days late and you know what he's like. He'd love a surprise.
04:29Bless him. He would make a fantastic dad though.
04:33He was really upset and then tried to cover up the fact that he felt upset. So then I felt terrible.
04:38What? You told him that you wanted to wait, right? You wanted to put your career first.
04:43Look, he's just being a melt. He's a big softie and you're living the dream.
04:49It's not just about my job though. I worry what pregnancy would do to my hormones, my medication.
04:56Sweetheart, I'm so sorry you've got to think about all that and all.
05:00Well, this is his dream and I'm denying him of it. It's selfish.
05:03Eh? Having a kid is massive. So how? He's making sure that you're ready. How's that selfish?
05:10Listen, I grew up knowing that my mum wasn't ready to have me.
05:18She was always unhappy and I felt responsible for that.
05:22Mum, that's terrible. I'm convinced it's why I'm such a people pleaser now.
05:26Behind all the glamour and bravado. No, but seriously, you've both got to be on the same page.
05:31You know, for the kid's sake, as much as yours. Come on.
05:37Come on.
05:44Hey.
05:47I didn't think you'd be back till later.
05:49I didn't go out in the end. I just felt so stupid after what I said earlier.
05:54It's fine.
05:57Suddenly there was this possibility and I couldn't believe how happy and excited I felt.
06:02Because sometimes it's really hard to get pregnant.
06:05And sometimes it happens straight away.
06:09One of the reasons I'm worried about putting this off for too long is...
06:14Well, what if there's fertility issues?
06:17I know, I know. I'm overthinking it. I'm sorry.
06:20It's not that. There's just other issues too, isn't there? My mental health, my meds.
06:26Well, I looked that up. We've got options.
06:30You're a smart, organised powerhouse and you should have it all.
06:34Career, babies, the lot.
06:37And your family will jump at the thought of a baby and I'll even take paternity leave.
06:41Tom, we've decided to wait. I'll stick tea on.
06:54Thinking that you could be carrying my child, it...
07:00Belle, I haven't been that happy since you agreed to marry me.
07:05I want to have this baby now because then I'll finally have that stable family life that I never had.
07:13Why right now?
07:15Because... well, I'm worried that the longer we leave here, it'll just... it'll never happen.
07:22So say yes. Please. Please, Belle.
07:27I love you more than anything and this baby will complete us.
07:32So just say you'll try.
07:36Okay, yeah. Yeah, we can try.
07:42Well, you won't be needing the pill anymore.
07:48Really?
07:49Come on, humour me. It's symbolic.
07:54Right, we should celebrate. Maybe I should get a bottle of non-alcoholic wine?
07:58Yeah, perfect.
07:59Alright, I'll be as quick as I can.
08:01Okay.
08:03See you in a bit.
08:04No rush.
08:24No rush.
