00:30Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Back away from the stepladder!
00:33Babe, I'm pregnant. I'm not incapacitated.
00:35No, I'll tell you, Mum.
00:38Listen to your cousin.
00:39Yes, precious cargo.
00:41Plus, we don't want you tripping over that.
00:45What's that supposed to mean?
00:46Well, nothing, no. There's just an awful lot of fabric, isn't there?
00:49All right, fine. Well, you try getting something that fits two people in.
00:52Morning, mother hens.
00:55Whoa, whoa, hang on. I said balloon arch.
00:58Oh, yes, about that. So, um...
00:59Well, they're not the best for the environment,
01:02so I thought I'd take the liberty of ordering a more environmentally friendly option.
01:06Call it my contribution.
01:07I think it's a great idea.
01:08Yes, well done you for looking after the planet.
01:11I'm sure charity loves it.
01:12Is it a keeper?
01:14Yeah, it'll do.
01:15Result?
01:18Cami, no offence, you're way too early.
01:19Er, I'm...
01:21Er, he's just helping with everything.
01:23Yeah, including this mountain of goodie bags.
01:26Yeah, she's not a hormone little.
01:27Okay, well, I just want everything to be right, yeah?
01:30Nothing wrong with that, is there?
01:31No, nothing. Whatever you say goes.
01:33Oh, come on, Sarah needs this.
01:36And why shouldn't she get to enjoy the stuff that new mums get to enjoy?
01:39Plus, you know what?
01:40She's virtually been pumping herself dry the past few weeks.
01:42So the least we can all do is throw her a little party.
01:46Oh.
01:48Right.
01:49Everyone.
01:50I want brittle honesty here, okay?
01:54Does my bum look big in this?
01:55Oh, dear God.
01:56You know, there are actually people that pay for this.
01:59Babe, I did say get a girl on.
02:01I'm not going to wear a girl baby costume.
02:03That's weird.
02:04And the boy one's fine, yeah?
02:05Bagsie not changing his nappy.
02:07Right, shall we get everything else?
02:09Yeah.
02:12Hello?
02:13Yeah?
02:15What do you mean?
02:16No, it's fine.
02:18I'll come and, um, hello?
02:22Babe, my battery's died.
02:23Can you charge it?
02:23I've got to go.
02:24Why are you going?
02:25Do you know what?
02:25I knew I should have got Marlon to do the cake.
02:28The woman who's made the cake, she broke her toe.
02:29That's why I've got to go and pick it up.
02:31Well, no, well, you're not going anywhere.
02:33You won't fit behind the wheel.
02:34Matt, just get out of my way.
02:36No.
02:37This deflates.
02:38This doesn't.
02:38I will drive.
02:40You will navigate.
02:41Okay.
02:45So, what do you think?
02:47I'm on a date, mate.
02:48Not to buy.
02:50Your kid brother knocked them up for the baby shower.
02:53Although, now I've heard there's a free bar, I think I might take them over myself.
02:56Hmm, very community-spirited of you.
02:58It's all a little girl, eh?
03:00Yeah.
03:01Yeah, made up for them.
03:02Sugar and spice and all things nice.
03:04Till they hit 13 and then all hell breaks loose.
03:08Well, I've got a boy and that'll be having any more, so.
03:12Yeah, you've got it all to come.
03:14Teenagers.
03:16Best advert for contraception there is.
03:21Did you ever think we'd get to this point?
03:23Too right I did.
03:25I knew it'd all work out.
03:27It just feels so real all of a sudden.
03:29The birth will be next and then Gran will be frying up her placenta.
03:33That was a joke, obviously.
03:36Why do you keep checking the time?
03:40I know we've got the party and everything, but...
03:43I'm gonna need to nip off for a bit first.
03:45Nip off where?
03:46Work.
03:47I won't be long, I promise.
03:49You said you booked a day off.
03:50Yeah, I did, but something came up.
03:53Something been?
03:56It's nothing, honestly.
03:58It's just a meeting that I couldn't get out of, that's all.
04:00It's no big deal.
04:01You just concentrate on having a good time.
04:03Yep, I'll definitely do that.
04:05I'll be as quick as I can.
04:07Brett World Party starts at 12, so try not to be too late.
04:09I'll try my best.
04:11See ya.
04:12See ya.
04:15Hey, I'm with you, mate.
04:16Gang of women rattling on about rugrats.
04:18I pretend I was working, too.
04:20I'm not pretending.
04:22I've got a meeting about that woman I told you about.
04:24The boss from hell.
04:26Like I said, I'm not gonna be pushed around by her anymore.
04:29Listen to you, Billy Big Kahunas.
04:31I'm serious.
04:33I'm calling her out.
04:34Hopefully it'll be sorted by the end of the day.
04:38Oh.
04:40What a relief.
04:43Oh, yes.
04:52I'll tell you what, there's a little squirrel in that edge having the time of his life back there.
04:59Oh, I could do without this baby using my flipping bladder as a trampoline.
05:04Right, let's just go so we can get back to the party and get the cake, okay?
05:09Yeah.
05:09What's up with you?
05:10Nothing.
05:10I'm fine.
05:12No, clearly something's wrong.
05:13What have I said?
05:15Nothing.
05:15Babe, seriously.
05:17I know when you're acting all mean and moody.
05:19What is it?
05:25It's just, it's all been very baby heavy at the moment.
05:30And, um, it was Ruben's birthday yesterday.
05:39Why didn't you say?
05:41Because you're, and everyone's excited, and I didn't want to be the miserable party paper
05:47in the corner.
05:49And there was me getting you to dress up as a giant baby.
05:52Oh, babe, I'm sorry.
05:55It was all right.
05:57I'm actually quite comfortable.
05:59Babe, you need to tell me in future what's going on.
06:01Tell me what's inside your head.
06:04Yeah, I will.
06:07And, hey, I'm sorry this isn't us.
06:12Yeah, me too.
06:14But, hey, we're going to be great-grandparents, and that's the next best thing, right?
06:18And not just great-grandparents, because as it happens, a little birdie's told me that
06:23she wants you to have a starring role at the christening.
06:25She's going to make you laugh for you, can't refuse.
06:28Really?
06:31Wow.
06:31Well, she's never been a godfather before.
06:35Aw.
06:38Right, missus, let's get the show on the road.
06:45Apologies, ladies and baby.
06:46There's a brief interlude while we start that.
06:50What's wrong with it?
06:51Er, I don't know.
06:53Er, it's...
06:54It's just not firing up.
06:55What?
06:56What do you mean?
06:56It was firing a minute ago.
06:58Don't worry.
06:59I'll fix it.
07:00Oh, God.
07:07It can't be four-hour deadlines.
07:08We haven't got any beds.
07:10Jacob, what are you doing here?
07:13I left a present for Sarah in my locker.
07:15I, er, I just nipped in to get it.
07:17Oh, yes.
07:17Family party, isn't it?
07:18Hmm.
07:19Yeah.
07:20It's, er, Sarah's baby shower.
07:23Sooner you than me, mate.
07:24Well, I hope that's not work you've got in there.
07:26No.
07:26Er, just some notes I needed for my portfolio.
07:29Do you want to go make a start on Mr Conley's history?
07:31Enjoy the room warming.
07:35Jake.
07:37Sorry, I'm in a bit of a rush.
07:39I just wanted to make sure you took everything I said on board yesterday.
07:42Er, yeah.
07:43And as I said, a move would be a massive mistake you might not recover from.
07:47You need to believe in yourself.
07:49You are going to make a great dad and an even better doctor.
07:52You just have to stick at it.
07:54Yeah, I'll, er, I'll keep that in mind.
07:56And remember, I'm on your side.
08:01Have a great afternoon.
08:14A flat battery.
08:15Are you kidding me?
08:17I know, I'm sorry.
08:18I thought you said you were going to get rid of this.
08:21Look, it's fine.
08:22All we need to do is ring you a taxi.
08:24We can't, though, can we?
08:25I haven't got my phone, because my battery died, remember?
08:28I haven't got mine either.
08:30What?
08:31Why not?
08:32I left it in the giant inflatable baby suit.
08:35Mac, we cannot miss this party.
08:38Well, it's fine.
08:39Don't worry, I'll fix it.
08:40Fix things how?
08:40No offence, babe.
08:41We're stuck in the middle of nowhere with a dead battery.
08:43No flipping phone, no flipping cake.
08:45Right, it's fine.
08:46Just wait here.
08:47Where are you going?
08:48I'm going to walk along the road and see if I can flag someone down.
08:50No, Mac, wait!
08:51I'll be five minutes tops.
08:54Mac!
09:00I think the cake's the least of our worries right now.
09:15Hey, how is the karaoke list coming on?
09:18Good.
09:18Good.
09:19As long as I don't have to get up.
09:21What?
09:21You're not going to sing?
09:22Babe, I'm backstage only.
09:24Ever since Mr Lanninger made me sing Morning Has Broken In Year Five, I've got a real folk here
09:29about it.
09:29Okay, fine, but if you're not singing karaoke, you can't be part of my family.
09:32What?
09:34You're joking, right?
09:35Yeah, of course I'm joking.
09:36Or am I?
09:39I'm not going to lie, it does feel a bit weird.
09:42What?
09:43People knowing that we've seen each other?
09:44What?
09:45I'm sure they all know anyway, and Moira will have told Ken.
09:48Wait, Ken?
09:48He's not coming, is he?
09:49No, but even if he was, it's not a big deal.
09:51Yeah, well, maybe not for you.
09:54What are you scared of, Cammie?
09:55Everyone loves you.
09:56Look, I just...
09:58I don't want them to think you're dating down.
10:00I am not dating down, okay?
10:02Now, pick us all.
10:05There's a surprising number of blokes for a baby shower.
10:08Eh?
10:08Oh, well, there could be more.
10:09I mean, you've got Sam and Lydia, they're over at Lydia's mum's, and then you've got
10:12Cain, who's too busy, apparently, sorting out stuff for the new farm.
10:17Don't think baby shower's a really his thing.
10:19And then you've got Moira, who's looking after Kyle, because he's still not feeling very
10:22well, but she said she might pop in later.
10:24Hmm.
10:25Well, Babyzilla's cutting it far.
10:26Who, Charity?
10:27She's probably still strangling the cake lady.
10:29Right, has everyone got drinks?
10:31Yes.
10:32Eric's not drinking, so I'm having his.
10:34You better and boil your dancing shoes.
10:37I'm not going to stay that long.
10:39Not really, by scene.
10:41Give over.
10:42You're part of the family now.
10:43So I am.
10:45So I'd better have that drink, then.
10:48Whiskey, please.
10:50Attention!
10:51Mother-to-be incoming.
10:53Question is, is she talking about my mum while Sarah?
10:56Could be either.
10:57Right, music, maestro.
11:00Music, maestro.
11:03Oh, you guys.
11:05There you go.
11:06Welcome to the Sarah Sugden big baby bump-a show.
11:10Oh, you guys.
11:14Oh.
11:15OK.
11:15It's not a problem.
11:16All right?
11:16We just need to manifest ourselves out of the situation.
11:18Oh.
11:19I know what I'd like to manifest right now.
11:21Oh.
11:22Oh.
11:23Why did you have to go down all the back roads?
11:25Because you said it was quicker, and as the crow flies, it is.
11:29Oh.
11:30What?
11:32What do you mean?
11:33What?
11:34OK.
11:35OK.
11:35Let's.
11:36We need to try and not panic, all right?
11:37And we just need to find the best and quickest way to the hospital.
11:43How long did it take for the others to come out?
11:45Deb's was 14 hours.
11:48Ryan, let's not even go there and know it was an emergency C-section.
11:52Right, OK, so that gives us eight hours, eight hours, eight hours.
11:56We can handle eight hours.
11:57Babe, no.
11:58Moses was way quicker, OK?
11:59I barely had time to get the handcuffs off.
12:02Oh.
12:03Well, don't you stand there?
12:04Do something!
12:12Who's to wear?
12:15Just making sure I've got the notes I need.
12:17Glad I'm for punishment or what?
12:19And I thought you had a party you have to get to.
12:20Yeah, I have.
12:22Don't hang around for too long.
12:24Todd will give you an extra shift.
12:26What are you working on?
12:27Your portfolio?
12:28Don't tell me she asked you to reflect.
12:29What are you doing?
12:31What is this?
12:33It's nothing.
12:35You're complaining about Todd's to HR?
12:39Yeah, she's been bullying me.
12:42What?
12:43It's been going on for ages.
12:45I know she's a bit harsh, but...
12:47I can't take it anymore.
12:49Are you insane?
12:51You can't report Todd.
12:53You might as well quit your training right now.
12:55It's anonymous.
12:56No-one will know.
12:56Come on, Jacob.
12:57You think people won't see you going off to the meetings with HR?
13:01Now, it's career suicide.
13:03Someone has to stop her.
13:04She can't keep treating people like this.
13:07Look, mate, Todd is not someone you want to mess with.
13:12I am not asking you to get involved.
13:14But I am not going to stand back and let her carry on wrecking people's lives.
13:18Someone has to make her stand.
13:21Mate, seriously, you need to think about this.
13:25Go against her.
13:26You might as well kiss goodbye to working in medicine.
13:29I'm happy to take that chance.
13:33Come on, you can do this, you can do this.
13:35Oh, no, babe, I can't.
13:38Yes, you can.
13:39You're Charity Dingo.
13:40You're the strongest woman I know.
13:41Babe, no, I can't have her here.
13:43What if something goes wrong?
13:45Happiness is going to go wrong, babe.
13:47I promise, I'm not going to let it.
13:50Just try and go to your happy place.
13:52My happy place is being ransacked right now.
13:57What is it?
13:58Car.
13:59The car's not going to go up the battery.
14:01No, babe, there's a car behind you.
14:03Oh, thank God.
14:07Hang on.
14:08Oh, God.
14:09Stop, stop.
14:10Oh, it's Ross.
14:13Oh, Ross.
14:14Are you kidding?
14:15Mate, you need to take us to the hospital.
14:17Charity is going into labour.
14:19Oh, yeah, got another herd to nick, have you?
14:23No, no, this isn't a scam.
14:25This is real, mate.
14:27Yeah, well, I'll call you an ambulance when I get home.
14:29Oh, no, I don't think she's going to last that long.
14:32Please.
14:33Look, you know, you're like a bro to me, but birthing babies, I don't want to be involved.
14:39Ross, Ross, she's really in a bad way.
14:41Please.
14:42Oh, for God's sake.
14:46Believe me, Ross, I don't want this as much as you, do you okay?
14:49Come on.
14:51I don't want a full ballot after this, all right?
14:53Oh, steady.
14:53Careful.
14:54All that she wants is another baby.
14:57She's gone tomorrow, boy.
14:59All that she wants is another baby.
15:02Yeah.
15:04Oh, if he's not singing that song, Christ, Sarah.
15:07Oh, mate.
15:08That's fantastic.
15:09Never say never.
15:10Oh, no.
15:11One bird in the family is more than enough at the minute.
15:14CHEERING
15:17You and Cammie are going to get up.
15:19What do you mean, me and Cammie?
15:21Well, nothing.
15:22No, just the little bird told me that you might have gone on a little date yesterday.
15:26I didn't see that in the family group chat.
15:28No, that was on the Bell and Cammie one.
15:30Ah-ha.
15:31Yeah, we don't want people making a big deal.
15:32We're just going to take things slow, see how we get on.
15:35Er, is the music all right?
15:36Yeah, it's great.
15:37Yeah, so as I was saying, Cammie, you and Bell were going on a little date yesterday.
15:42Oh, er, yeah.
15:46Dark horses.
15:50Listen, right, if you break her heart, I will cut off your kahunas and wear them as earrings.
15:56OK?
15:57OK.
15:58Understood.
16:00How are you feeling then, little mummy?
16:02Good, yeah.
16:03Gran really went all out, didn't she?
16:05Oh, yeah.
16:06It's the hormones.
16:07She's like a crazy lady.
16:09I just wish she'd bothered to show up.
16:10No, she's definitely coming.
16:11She's just had to go get the cake.
16:12There'll be a delay a summer.
16:14Er, where is the father to be then?
16:16Oh, he just had to nip to work first.
16:17He should be on his way.
16:19Oh, my phone's dead.
16:20Er, Cammie, got that charger?
16:22Er, yeah, give it to you.
16:23Charities will be well charged by now.
16:27Eve's, I presume?
16:28Yeah, but you're not going to fit much beer in that.
16:30Oh, no.
16:31Ha!
16:32Drinking from the Wellington routine.
16:34No.
16:35Has it been worn?
16:36Er, only lightly.
16:37And before you ask, it was pre-Veruca.
16:39Wow.
16:41LAUGHTER
16:48Easy does it.
16:49Just breathe, OK, babe?
16:51Absolutely nothing to panic about.
16:52Other than my cervix falling out.
16:54Oh, right, and on that note...
16:56Well, no, mate, you can't just leave us here.
16:58Mate, my work here is done.
17:00You're going to have to give me a hand getting her inside.
17:03You're going to have to give me a hand getting her inside.
17:03Oh, I can't move.
17:05Yes, you can.
17:06It's just a few steps.
17:07The door is right there.
17:07No, baby, no, I can't.
17:11Ross, go and get me a wheelchair or something.
17:13Now!
17:14Oh, be my hand, be my, be my little baby.
17:23Say you'll be my darling.
17:25No, sucker, mocktail.
17:26No, just water, please.
17:29She's killing that.
17:31I'm not in a good way.
17:33Come on, get off.
17:35Be my little baby.
17:38Is this where the party is?
17:40Oh, yes, for them that's invited.
17:42A little present from Lewis.
17:43Oh.
17:44Oh, please.
17:45Yeah, I wish you'd bought them before charity had to do a mercy dash to Houghton.
17:49Some karaoke, eh?
17:51Yeah!
17:52The free bar.
17:54Oh, go on, Jimmy.
17:56Come on, get one.
17:57Come on.
17:59Babe, I can't.
18:00Please.
18:01My throat and close over.
18:02What?
18:02Is that just because you're scared of my family?
18:04No.
18:05I just think it's a bit silly.
18:07You were the one I said, take things slow.
18:09Uh, Belle, you're up.
18:11Hmm.
18:12Fine, you know what?
18:13I'll do it by myself, then.
18:16Okay.
18:21What are you doing?
18:27They say we're young, and we don't know.
18:31We won't find out until we grow.
18:37Well, I don't know if all that's true,
18:40because you got me, and baby, I got you.
18:47Babe.
18:49I got you, babe.
18:53I got you, babe.
18:56They say I love my people.
18:59You all right, kidder?
19:00Yeah.
19:01You know, it's been nice.
19:02I just wish Gran and Jacob would bother to show up.
19:04Oh, love.
19:06Especially Gran.
19:07She knows how important all of this is to me.
19:09You know what?
19:10Something must have happened,
19:11because she's taken so long to organise all this.
19:13There's no way that she would miss it,
19:15unless there was a proper reason.
19:17What reason could she possibly have had not to come?
19:19I got you, babe.
19:20And Jacob.
19:22I got you.
19:34Jacob, sorry about the delay.
19:36The meeting I had earlier overran.
19:38That's okay.
19:39I'm all yours now.
19:40Do you want to come through?
19:49Oh, where's Cammie?
19:50Um, I don't know.
19:51As in, not in the toilet?
19:52No, I need my phone.
19:54I think it's behind the bar.
19:55Why?
19:58Sarah, what is it?
19:59What's up?
20:00Is everything all right?
20:02No, far from it.
20:06Oh!
20:07Oh!
20:08Oh!
20:10She has that phone in her hand, 24-7,
20:12and the one time I actually needed to look at it.
20:14Why is no-one else answering?
20:16Oh, because you're ringing.
20:17Why do you think?
20:19Mac, she's got to be here.
20:21She can't miss this.
20:22Look, why don't I just drive back and let everybody know?
20:24Just try one more time, please.
20:28Hello?
20:29Sarah!
20:29Ross, what's happening?
20:31Sarah, it's me.
20:32We're the hospital.
20:33Charter's going into labour.
20:34Hospital?
20:36Hello?
20:37Sarah?
20:38Oh!
20:40She's gone.
20:41What do you mean?
20:42Did she hear you?
20:43I don't know.
20:43At least we know that she's looked at her phone.
20:45Oh, Mac, you've got to get her here.
20:46She can't miss this.
20:47No, no, she will.
20:49Hello?
20:55She's got a voicemail.
20:57They definitely said they're at the hospital.
20:59Yeah, I think so.
20:59Okay, we'll go straight down.
21:01No, don't worry.
21:02She'll be on her way.
21:03She'll be on her way as we speak.
21:04Don't worry.
21:05We're okay.
21:05Oh!
21:06Just breathe through it.
21:07Breathe through it.
21:08Oh, no, babe, they're getting closer together.
21:10Uh, why aren't we moving?
21:12What?
21:13None of the buttons are working.
21:14What do you mean they're not working?
21:15Oh, what's happening?
21:16Uh, nothing, other than us being trapped in a lift.
21:19What are you talking about?
21:20Just open the doors.
21:21I would, but none of the buttons are working.
21:23I'm serious, Ross.
21:24This baby is weighing around for some maintenance man
21:26to get off his tea break.
21:28Hello?
21:28Look, the last thing you need to do is panic.
21:30Ross is right.
21:31You need to try and stay calm.
21:32No, don't stay calm.
21:34Panic, okay?
21:35This baby is coming out,
21:37and I'm not doing it in here.
21:38So just get me out!
21:42Oh!
