00:02She's smart, funny, and I just...
00:05Help, help, help.
00:06Okay.
00:08Idiot, I could have hurt myself.
00:09Hey, chill man.
00:10Don't tell me to chill.
00:11You're supposed to be spotting me
00:12and I'm spewing up about your stupid relationship.
00:14Fellas, what's going on?
00:15He's lost it.
00:15His tools shouldn't be allowed in the gym.
00:17He's got no idea.
00:30You have a chronic infection in your fallopian tubes.
00:34Now, this infection has progressed to such a point
00:36where both tubes have been blocked due to major scarring.
00:40There's nothing that we can do to fix it.
00:43So that's why I haven't fallen pregnant.
00:47Because I can't.
01:00No matter where you are
01:04You're my guiding star
01:09Hold me in your arms
01:11Don't let me go
01:13I want to stay forever
01:18Closer each day
01:21Home and away
01:23There must be some mistake.
01:26I mean, Leah's already had two kids without any problems.
01:28You can't do any other tests?
01:30The laparoscopy was conclusive, I'm afraid.
01:34So, why now?
01:36It's not as if she's been sick lately or anything.
01:38You have had this condition for quite a while.
01:42In fact, you've had this condition since I operated on you at the beginning of the year.
01:46My appendix.
01:48The radic swab that I left inside of you.
01:57I'm so sorry, Leah.
01:59I'm so sorry, Leah.
02:01Well done, roll it up.
02:06That's better.
02:07That's it, Aidan. Well done.
02:10Roll it up.
02:11Good.
02:11Take that, come on, here we go.
02:12Watch your mates.
02:16Get with it, Rick. You're letting the team down, mate.
02:18I fell with the ball. Big deal.
02:20Yeah, this is only a drill.
02:21What are you going to be like in a real game, mate, when the pressure's on?
02:23I can handle it.
02:24Oh, you think so, do you?
02:24Yes, I can handle it.
02:26Right-o, fellas. Bring it in. Move it on, eh?
02:30Let's move it on to tackling.
02:32Tackling's something, obviously, that everybody has to do,
02:34no matter what position you play, all right?
02:37And, obviously, a bit more to it than just closing your eyes
02:39and throwing yourself in the general direction of the bloke with the ball.
02:41So, we're going to set up that practical demonstration.
02:44Rick, you're going to run for the line.
02:47And Aiden, he's going to demonstrate the side tackle.
02:51Okay, set up the halfback on the 5'8".
02:53Let's go.
02:53Aiden, over here, mate.
02:55Move it up here, yeah.
02:56Move in a bit, Ricky.
02:57Not can catch pole.
02:59Hold it.
03:00Will do, yeah?
03:00Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it.
03:03Right-o, away you go.
03:04Let's go.
03:05Go.
03:08Good, kid.
03:10Lovely.
03:10Good.
03:11Come on, Rick, run it in.
03:11Nicely above the ball carrier's hips.
03:13He drove in well with his legs from a low centre of gravity.
03:16Now, do you see that, boys?
03:17Come on, Rick, run it in.
03:18Get his hand nicely behind the ball carrier's backside.
03:21That way you won't get hurt.
03:22Come on, Rick, run it in.
03:24We'll put you on a course of antibiotics,
03:26which will help with the inflammation.
03:29And I won't undo the damage.
03:31No.
03:32But when you are ready, we can start looking at other options.
03:36You can't fall pregnant in the usual way,
03:39but you still can't have a child.
03:42You mean IVF?
03:44Well, as far as we can tell, your ovaries aren't damaged.
03:46We still can collect eggs, create embryos,
03:49put them back inside your uterus.
03:51So, what about giving birth?
03:53Does this condition make that difficult?
03:55No, no, the births would be exactly the same.
03:58I can get you some information.
04:00I don't know if it's involved.
04:05I am.
04:06Don't.
04:09You need me, Summer.
04:11Like the moon needs the stars and the ocean needs the sea.
04:18I can't.
04:19Right.
04:20But we haven't rehearsed the very end.
04:22Well, Summer and Rex kiss,
04:23and then they live happily ever after.
04:25Just remember to do it on the night.
04:26So, if there are no further questions...
04:30Actually, we were all talking during the lunch break,
04:33and we still think some of the lines need changing.
04:35Just carry on again?
04:37Oh, but seriously...
04:38Ah, we've already made too many changes,
04:40and we haven't got enough time anyway.
04:43Well, we tried.
04:45So, what are you up to now?
04:46Do you feel like watching the rugby training with me?
04:48Um, actually, I thought I'd stay here for a bit.
04:51Okay, have fun.
04:55Are you doing anything now?
04:57Oh, no, just going over my lines.
04:58Me too.
05:00Maybe we could...
05:01Go over them together.
05:02Are you ready, Lucas?
05:04Oh, the programs.
05:06Can I help you some other time?
05:07No, they have to be picked up today,
05:08and you don't expect me to lug them from the printers, do you?
05:12I guess I am busy after all.
05:17Quick, sticks!
05:27Come on, Chris, let's go, I'm outflowed.
05:29Come on.
05:30Offload, offload, come on, come on, offload!
05:32Offload, offload, come on, come on!
05:39How many times do I have to tell you rugby's a team game, mate?
05:42Yes, right on.
05:43Hey, we all work together.
05:44Okay, why do you think I was calling for the ball?
05:46I was outside of you.
05:50Let's move it on.
05:51Gather around.
05:54All right, fellas.
05:55Now, you know that our first competitive game is in a couple of weeks,
05:57and the whisper on the street is that one of the state selectors
05:59is going to be down there to have a look.
06:00That's right, so make sure you give it 110%, eh?
06:03Get that little tick alongside your name that means they're interested.
06:06Exactly, and Mr Stewart here has kindly agreed to do an extra training session tomorrow,
06:10so unless you've got a note from an undertaker saying you're unavoidably dead,
06:13I suggest you down there at 8 o'clock.
06:15Off you go, boys.
06:17Aidan, good.
06:18So, you got a touch of white line fever, did you?
06:21What?
06:22That last move.
06:23You should have passed the ball.
06:24It is a team game, you know?
06:25Yeah, so everyone keeps telling me.
06:28You've got to learn to concentrate, mate.
06:29You've got to focus on your rugby, like young Aidan does.
06:32Tell you what, I'll be very surprised if the state selectors aren't interested in him.
06:36Damn good player, that boy.
07:04I know what you're going to say.
07:05Just no matter how I look at it, I can't help if I'm responsible.
07:09When I went to the hospital, I nearly didn't go in.
07:14All I could think about was Pippa.
07:17This beautiful, selfless gift that Leah had given us,
07:20and now her and Dan want a child of their own.
07:22And I just thought maybe I'd be the last person she'd want to see.
07:29You shouldn't be feeling that way.
07:31Yeah, but I did.
07:34All sorts of things were going through my head.
07:38I was thinking about when I first found out that I couldn't have children
07:41and how angry that made me feel and how she cheated.
07:48When you and Leah would be feeling the same way,
07:50and I should be able to comfort her.
07:56And maybe seeing me would make everything that much more painful.
08:01Well, you've done nothing more than the one who's made the mistake.
08:05This is a terrible thing that has happened,
08:09and for a moment it clouded my judgement too,
08:12but I can't feel that way.
08:14Neither can you.
08:16Leah knows that if you hadn't operated that day,
08:19then she would be dead.
08:24I don't feel bad about anything.
08:26Feel bad about the situation, because it isn't fair.
08:30Not for them or for us, but they'll get through it.
08:34The same way we did.
08:39Leah gave us our beautiful daughter.
08:43You gave Leah a life.
08:45Never forget that.
08:49Okay.
08:59But enough about me and Aidan.
09:00You never really told me how your big date went.
09:03You and Lucas, last week, ringing your bells.
09:06It was nice.
09:08Nice, that's it.
09:11If I tell you something, will you promise not to laugh?
09:15You wouldn't understand.
09:17Well, it's not a proper date if you don't kiss.
09:18Oh, look, it's no big deal.
09:20Yes, it is.
09:20The play's tomorrow night,
09:21and our first kiss is going to be in front of the whole town.
09:24Can you imagine how embarrassing that's going to be?
09:26If it all goes wrong?
09:27If we bump heads or something goes wrong.
09:29I mean, I'm not going to just make a fool of myself,
09:31but she's never going to want to kiss me again.
09:34Well, there's only one thing you can do.
09:36You have to kiss Luke between now and then.
09:38Yeah, well, we've been trying,
09:39but every time we think it's going to happen,
09:40someone interrupts.
09:41Well, all you've got to do is you've got to go and find Matilda,
09:43and just grab her and plant a fresh one.
09:45No, no, but that's what you've got to do.
09:47Go.
09:49Thanks for listening.
09:51Anytime.
09:52And remember, don't stress.
09:53Just do something about it.
09:55I don't know.
09:55It's like we're under some sort of doom star.
09:57More like Colleen's dialogue is affecting your brain.
10:00Oh, it's true.
10:01And look at the time.
10:02I might not even say Luke between now and tomorrow night.
10:05You were saying?
10:08See ya.
10:09Hi.
10:10Hi, I thought you were helping Colleen.
10:12Um, yeah, it didn't take as long as I expected.
10:16Cool, well, here we are.
10:19The thing is, there's something that I was...
10:23Well, it's not a big deal.
10:25I just thought maybe...
10:26Look, whatever it is, I'm sure I'm fine with it.
10:29Hey, g'day, guys.
10:32Hey, mate, you want lift home?
10:33I'm just giving a copy.
10:34Um, yeah, sure.
10:37Sorry.
10:38That's all right, but, um, what was it that you wanted?
10:41Oh, um, I was wondering if you want to see a movie tonight.
10:45Yeah, I'd love to.
10:47Great.
10:48I'll check the session times.
10:49Are you going to be home tonight?
10:51Um, no, I'll probably just be here, so, um, just text me.
10:54Great.
10:54I'll see you soon.
10:55Okay.
10:57G'day, mate.
10:58G'day, g'day.
10:59What are you doing here?
11:01I live here.
11:03I mean, I thought you were going to Waz's.
11:05No, he's got some family dinner thing.
11:07So you're going to be home for dinner?
11:09Is that a problem?
11:12I've invited Aidan over.
11:13Cool.
11:14You really don't mind?
11:16No, I don't mind, I don't mind.
11:27You shouldn't be working.
11:28No, I'm fine.
11:29You just had surgery.
11:30It was just a small procedure.
11:32Okay, let me call Irene.
11:33I'm sure she won't mind coming in.
11:34Dan, I said I'm okay.
11:36Uh, cheese cake to go, please.
11:41Yeah, I know, I've told her she should be home.
11:43And I said I'm fine.
11:45Listen, I really need to tell you both.
11:47Lynn.
11:47No, please let me say this.
11:49You both know I'm very sorry.
11:51No one's blaming you, okay?
11:55Still, I cannot change the past.
11:57I desperately wish I could, but I can't.
11:59If there's any way I can help now,
12:01I mean, if you want to look into IVF adoption,
12:03I will do everything that I possibly can to help you,
12:05but then Sally feels exactly the same way.
12:07When the time's right, we'll come and talk to you.
12:09Okay.
12:15I'm worried about you.
12:17Just let me do what I need to do, okay?
12:21I'll come and pick you up later on.
12:35How are you going somewhere?
12:36Um, yeah, to the movies with Matty.
12:38Is that okay?
12:39Well, it is the night before the play.
12:41What do you think?
12:42But I've got all my lines down.
12:43Nice try, mate, but the answer's no.
12:46Dad!
12:46Lucas!
12:47No.
12:49And I'm sure Beth doesn't want Matilda going out either, okay?
12:52Listen, mate, save the energy for the play tomorrow.
13:10I don't know what I'm supposed to do, but you know that I am there for you.
13:18So go on, believe me.
13:21Do what you want to.
13:23Be what you want to be.
13:26You don't have to believe me.
13:29You can take it or leave it, but that's how it's gonna be.
13:34Okay, what can I do to help?
13:36Um, oh.
13:37Oh, you probably need to get that.
13:43Aiden, come in.
13:44These are for you.
13:46Oh, thank you.
13:47That's beautiful.
13:49Hi.
13:50And these are for you, Miss Fletcher.
13:52Oh, thank you.
13:53And you can call me Sally.
13:54We're not at school now.
13:56G'day, Aiden.
13:57Can I get you a drink?
13:57Yeah, sure.
13:58Thanks, Aiden.
13:58It'll be good.
14:02Rick, I thought you were going out, mate.
14:04Did you?
14:05Yeah, I mean, if I had known, I would have bought you some flowers as well.
14:09That's all right, Tiger.
14:10Just yourself, son of.
14:16Matty.
14:18I'm here.
14:31Lucas.
14:33You all right?
14:34Yeah, I'm all right.
14:34I'm fine.
14:43Hey, what the hell's going on out there?
14:45Lucas, is that you, mate?
14:46What's going on?
14:51I can't believe I've roped into doing a plan.
14:54Oh, Colleen's not an easy person to say no to.
14:57But at least I'm playing opposite you.
14:59Yeah, and it is much less stressful being the supports, even if we are playing Luke and
15:03Matilda's mother and father.
15:05Have you learned all your lines?
15:06Yeah, well, that's the easy part.
15:08I'm actually a little bit more weighty than my acting skills.
15:10No, you seem pretty good to me.
15:11Nice result, son.
15:14Anyway, it should be fun.
15:15But it's a shame you haven't got up so early in the morning.
15:18No better way to start the day than on the field, eh, Rick?
15:20If you get off on that sort of thing.
15:22So you're pretty serious about your rugby, Aidan?
15:24Mm.
15:25Yeah, I mean, I've always dreamed about playing professionally and, well, there's a selector
15:30coming in the next couple of weeks.
15:31Well, you'll impress him for sure.
15:33Yeah, I hope so.
15:33But, you know, best not to get too cocky.
15:36Well, I suppose you're any younger men.
15:37If you don't make it this year, there's always next year, right?
15:39Mm.
15:40Exactly.
15:41I'm just, you know, focused on the team right now.
15:43I think we've got a pretty good chance of winning this year, so...
15:45It's not what you said this morning.
15:47What'd I say?
15:48When I dropped the ball, you acted like I just blew the grand final.
15:52Yeah, sorry about that.
15:53You know, you all get a bit hot under the collar sometimes, so...
16:05OK, goodnight.
16:06Oh, no, guys.
16:09You want to get a bit as well?
16:10I thought you were OK with me and Aidan.
16:13I am.
16:14Then what was all that about?
16:15What was what about?
16:16All the snide remarks.
16:17You couldn't have been more rude if you tried.
16:19Well, at least I wasn't being fake.
16:21Neither was he.
16:22The guy's too faced.
16:24Coming in here acting all nice...
16:26He is nice.
16:26He's an idiot.
16:27That's what he is.
16:28You've seen him throw his way down on the field.
16:30Oh, no, hang on.
16:31You haven't because he's Mr. Perfect.
16:33Jealousy's a curse, Rick.
16:37Whatever, OK?
16:37It's your life.
16:38Exactly.
16:39And I like Aidan.
16:40So if I ask him over to dinner again and you can't handle it,
16:42at least have the guts to say so.
17:04You know what's weird?
17:07I'm a counsellor.
17:08It's my job to be able to handle any situation,
17:10but right now I don't even know what to say to you.
17:14I'm sorry.
17:16No, don't be, but please, Leah, just talk to me.
17:18Tell me how you're feeling.
17:23Maybe we should head away from people.
17:25Get on the coast.
17:26No, a holiday isn't going to change anything.
17:29Well, Dan, I know how much you've fallen in love
17:32with the idea of having another child.
17:34Yeah, you've not talked about that.
17:35And I also know how difficult IVF is.
17:37And adoption's even harder.
17:39We'll get through this together.
17:40You don't have to.
17:42Yeah, it's about us.
17:44I love you.
17:45I love you too.
17:47Too much to stop you from having the family that you deserve.
17:51So I don't think I understand.
17:54Simple.
17:54I'm giving you an out.
17:56Out?
17:56Yeah, a chance to save yourself a whole lot of heartache.
17:59No hard feelings, no arguments.
18:01Dana, what?
18:02You want to split?
18:03Is that it?
18:06I just want you to be happy.
18:08And if I can't guarantee that,
18:10then maybe us going our separate ways is the only option.
18:15I'm sorry.
18:27This is crazy.
18:28We don't have to separate.
18:29You say that now.
18:31How I feel, Leah.
18:32It won't change.
18:33Well, how do you know?
18:34Dan, Dan, I love that you're trying to do the right thing.
18:38You know, it makes me love you even more.
18:39But we have to be realistic about this.
18:42Yeah, I agree.
18:43If we go down the adoption path or the IVF,
18:46it might take months, years to have a baby.
18:49Dan, we may never have a baby.
18:51We have to be prepared for that.
18:53Now, can you honestly look me in the eye
18:54and tell me that you're okay with that?
18:56Yes.
18:57But in years to come, you won't look back with regret.
19:01You know what I will regret?
19:03If you're not by my side.
19:04If we haven't raised Vijay and Ryan together as a family
19:07and built memories, grow old together.
19:10I mean, all that, that's what I'll regret.
19:13You know, we've got two pretty amazing kids.
19:16If we have another, however we have it, then great.
19:18But if we don't, we've still got a pretty good family as it is.
19:24Now, I made a vow to you three months ago
19:26that I'll stick with you no matter what.
19:29You promised me the same thing.
19:30If the roles were reversed,
19:31you wouldn't walk away from me, would you?
19:34No.
19:35How on earth do you expect me to walk away from you?
19:38I just want to give you a baby.
19:39Yeah, I know.
19:40Look, whatever happens, we are in this together.
19:45Yeah?
19:46Yeah.
20:03You call that a tackle?
20:05Yeah, you wouldn't even make the bench, mate.
20:09Set it up again.
20:14What's up with you?
20:15Just trying people who are two-faced.
20:17Well, sort it out off the field, eh?
20:20Righto, boys.
20:21You know our first game's just around the corner,
20:24so use your head and use a bit of ticker, eh?
20:27Remember, shoulders above the ball carrier's hips,
20:31lower your centre of gravity and drive in with the legs.
20:34It's okay, here we go.
20:49Hey, settle down.
20:50Go easy.
20:54You all right, mate?
20:57Get on the ambulance!
21:12It's suddenly near
21:16I will always lead you here
21:21Hold me in your arms
21:24Don't let me go
21:26I want to stay forever
21:29Close to reach me
21:32Home and away
