00:00Hold me in your arms, don't let me go
00:05I want to stay forever
00:08Not to each day
00:12Home and away
00:17I think the baby's coming.
00:18Julie, can we get to a trolley?
00:20We need to get her up to maternity right now.
00:22Our baby is dead.
00:23What can you say that makes up for that?
00:25Just go fuck fuck shit!
00:28You have actually been more than dad than-
00:30Look after me.
00:32I'll be alright.
00:34Were you looking forward to the big day?
00:37The big boy is telling Aiden how much he means to me.
00:41Rach are you okay?
00:43I think I'm having contractions.
00:45Rach, don't worry, I can drive you.
00:46You can't drive, you've been drinking more than all of us I know,
00:49because I've been giving it to you.
00:50Why on earth would you be pretending to be drinking?
01:00Oh, God, at this rate, I must be 10 centimetres.
01:03You're going to be fine.
01:04You've got a birth plan and you're totally prepared for this.
01:07Except for the plan was for my husband to be here.
01:10I'll give Colleen a call, see if anyone's managed to track him down.
01:14Everything's going to be fine, OK?
01:19I don't know where the hell I'd be if it wasn't for Belle.
01:23I mean, you saw how screwed up I was.
01:25I was an idiot.
01:27I hated myself.
01:29Yeah, well, thankfully that's all behind you, isn't it?
01:32Yeah.
01:35Now I'm getting married.
01:38Can you believe it?
01:39Before Belle, I wouldn't have freaked out at the idea of getting hitched.
01:45And now, the idea of her being my wife is the best, best feeling ever.
01:55Can you believe it?
01:56Me getting married.
01:58It's a pretty good feeling, isn't it?
02:00Knowing you're going to spend the rest of your life with someone who makes you that happy.
02:04Another.
02:04Tony, let's get on it.
02:06No, mate, I'm...
02:07I'd better get going.
02:08Rachel will be wondering what's up next.
02:10Rachel Smachel, what?
02:12She'll be partying at the hen's night.
02:14OK, well, I'll give her a call to find out what's going on.
02:16Do it.
02:17Actually, you know what?
02:17Maybe we should call the night anyway.
02:19You'll thank me for it in the morning.
02:20Do you know where my phone is, mate?
02:22Whoa.
02:25Hello.
02:27Yeah.
02:28Alfie.
02:30Alf, yeah.
02:31OK, here he is.
02:33It's Alf.
02:34Alf.
02:36Thanks, mate.
02:38G'day, Alf.
02:38How you going?
02:39Where is he?
02:39Alf said Tony's coming, so he'll be here any second.
02:43Oh, God, Dary.
02:44You don't know how glad I am to see you.
02:46Let's have a look at things and we'll see if we can't make it a bit easier on you.
03:02The baby's heart rate is strong and regular.
03:08Now, you're fully dilated, but your membranes haven't broken yet.
03:12I think we should rupture them, otherwise their labour won't progress.
03:14OK, yeah, I agree.
03:16Oh, God.
03:17Hello, what's going on?
03:17You all right?
03:18The baby's coming.
03:19Rush, rush, hey.
03:20Oh, God.
03:22Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
03:24It's OK.
03:25All right?
03:26Who would have thought you'd end up here on your head this night, eh?
03:30Oh, I guess it's a good sign, Aidan's not here with alcohol poisoning.
03:35Hey, why didn't you tell us that you didn't want a drink tonight?
03:39Oh, it's just ever since rehab.
03:41I just haven't wanted to.
03:42For recovery and...
03:43Oh, yes, of course.
03:45I'm so sorry.
03:45I should have known that.
03:46Oh, no, no, it's fine.
03:47It's fine.
03:48And honestly, I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
03:50Well, you know what?
03:51You should be really proud of yourself, because you're doing really well with all that.
03:55Thanks.
03:58So, I wonder how long it's going to be before you and Aidan are doing this.
04:04I thought there was so much time for kids.
04:07What do you mean?
04:08There's plenty of time for kids.
04:10Oh, yeah, yeah.
04:12No, I just, I mean, everything is happening so fast.
04:14The wedding and everything.
04:18Actually, you know what?
04:18Tony's here now.
04:19I should go.
04:20I've got a million things to do before the wedding, and Mum and Ryan are coming tomorrow,
04:25so I'd...
04:25Yeah, no, no, of course.
04:26I'll let you know when there's some news.
04:28You get some rest, okay?
04:30You need some beauty sleep, bride-to-be.
04:33Thanks.
04:34I'll try my best.
04:38It's okay, Rach.
04:39Just squeeze my hand.
04:40It's hard for life.
04:45I don't think I can do this anymore.
04:48I'm already exhausted.
04:50I think I want the epidural.
04:52Whatever you want, whatever you need, I reckon.
04:59What is it?
05:00Is it the placenta?
05:01No, no, everything's fine there, but your baby's heart rate is slowing down with each contraction.
05:06Oh, God, he's in fetal distress, isn't he?
05:08No, not necessarily.
05:10It may just be normal pressure on the head.
05:12So I suggest we wait and see the next contraction and see if his heart rate comes back up.
05:16Okay.
05:17Oh, God, here comes another one.
05:25The theatre on standby.
05:27We're going to need to do an emergency, Cesar.
05:29It's slowing down, isn't it?
05:30It's going to be okay.
05:31We're going to prep you for theatre.
05:32We need to get this baby out, okay?
05:33Oh, God.
06:08Hi.
06:09Hey, I missed you.
06:12I always miss you, baby.
06:17I missed you, too.
06:24Oh, Aiden, it smells like you had a good bucks party.
06:29I only had, like, two beards.
06:32Yeah, right.
06:34I did.
06:39Okay, come on, time for bed.
06:41Hey, don't leave me, please.
06:44Baby, don't leave me.
06:51Okay.
06:55Oh, she's afraid she'll have a baby.
06:58She's pregnant.
07:02No, no, I just came from the hospital.
07:05And, um...
07:07Not yet.
07:09Okay.
07:12It's funny.
07:13You think next time we see her, she's going to be a mum.
07:18Could be us one day.
07:20Little Aiden running around.
07:23Little Belle.
07:28Let's just take one step at a time, okay?
07:41What's taking them so long?
07:42Why aren't I in theatre?
07:43Okay, just try to relax.
07:44Don't tell me to relax.
07:48Oh, God.
07:49It's okay.
07:49It's okay.
07:49Just breathe through it, all right?
07:50You can do this.
07:51Theatre's ready.
07:53Oh, God, I need to push.
07:54What?
07:54What do you mean?
07:55Yeah, I'm sure this baby's coming.
07:58The baby's heart rate is down to 60.
07:59What about theatre, though?
08:00It's too late.
08:01Okay.
08:01Rachel, listen to me.
08:03It's too late to do a seizure, okay?
08:04Oh, no.
08:05You're going to have to push this baby out right now, okay?
08:08Okay.
08:09All right, good girl.
08:10Let's do it.
08:11Oh.
08:12Oh.
08:18Hey, welcome home.
08:20Sorry, I didn't make you anything, did I?
08:22No, no, no.
08:22I, um, I just put Aidan to bed.
08:25It is Buck's night, and these decumates made sure it was a good one.
08:28Well, let me guess.
08:29They drank beer, and then they drank more beer.
08:31Something like that.
08:32Oh, look, I know you're tired.
08:35I just wanted to pass on a message.
08:37Dad's written a letter for Aidan, and he wants someone to read it out at the wedding.
08:40Oh, I'm sure Aidan would love that.
08:43But, you know, Roman would have been his number one choice for best man.
08:46Does Aidan know who else he's going to choose?
08:48Um, no, actually, I don't think he does.
08:51Well, you better hurry up.
08:52I'm in the weddings in a couple of days.
08:53Oh, girl, please don't remind me.
08:55I still don't know what I'm doing about my dress.
08:58Why?
08:58What's wrong with your dress?
08:59Oh, it's got this puffy sleeve thing.
09:02I was going to unstitch it, but I can't sew, and Rachel's going to fix it for me.
09:07But somehow I don't think that's going to happen anymore.
09:10Come on, Rachel.
09:11I need one more big push, OK?
09:13No, you can.
09:14One last push.
09:15Come on, take a deep breath for me.
09:17Take a breath.
09:19That's it.
09:20That's it.
09:21Now hold it.
09:22Keep going.
09:24Keep going.
09:25That's it.
09:25Here he comes.
09:26Keep it going.
09:27Keep it going.
09:28All right, here he comes.
09:30He's out.
09:31Oh, my God.
09:32You all right, mate?
09:38What's wrong?
09:39Why isn't he breathing?
09:40Come on, little man.
09:41Take a breath.
09:42What's his APGAS score?
09:44You don't need to worry about that.
09:45Tell me.
09:46It's three, OK?
09:47He's having trouble breathing on his own.
09:48We need to get him to neonatal special care now.
09:50Please let him be OK, please.
09:52OK, he's going to be OK.
09:53Be a bit of fun.
09:54Be a bit of fun.
09:56Oh, I can fix this easy.
09:59Really?
09:59Yeah, I'll just take off the sleeve here and I'll undo the back.
10:04That'll be perfect.
10:07Given I can't sew, I'll have to take your word for it, but thank you.
10:11Believe it or not, I actually love doing this stuff.
10:13I'm thinking about doing a design course next year.
10:16So who knows, maybe one day I'll have my own label.
10:19But it's so great that you know what you want to do.
10:23I'm sure you'll have a really big future ahead of you.
10:28Aiden is going to be blown away when he sees you in this.
10:33I just want him to remember everything about the wedding.
10:38For as long as he lives, I just want him to know how much I loved him.
10:45There's something I've been meaning to say.
10:51I know I wasn't totally thrilled about you and Aiden getting together at first, but the truth is, you two
10:58are so ripe for each other.
10:59And I'm so sorry about all the trouble it caused when he died.
11:05Nick, it's all forgotten.
11:09Aiden, I know what good friends you guys are.
11:12Yeah, I've never had a friend like Aiden.
11:14Especially a guy.
11:16And although he does drive me completely crazy sometimes.
11:21After everything that we've been through with Dad.
11:25I don't trust many people, but I trust him completely.
11:31This can't be happening.
11:33This is my fault.
11:34I was supposed to stay on bed rest.
11:36Aiden, you're going to do this.
11:37Okay, don't blame yourself.
11:38Right?
11:41Derek, how is he?
11:43See for yourself.
11:45Congratulations.
11:46Your son's a real little fighter.
11:49Anti-Zap girl is up to eight after five minutes.
11:54Oh, hello.
12:05Might leave you to get to know your son.
12:09I'll come and get him and take him back to the nursery in a while.
12:12Okay.
12:15He's so tiny.
12:16Oh, he's just beautiful.
12:22You made him, Rach.
12:25So this is Harry.
12:28G'day, Harry.
12:30G'day, mate.
12:35Seven pounds, eh, mate?
12:37That's a good size.
12:37It must have been all those vitamins I told Dr Armstrong she should take.
12:41Yeah, well, I'm not really sure what it was,
12:42but I can't tell you how happy I was when they said he sounded all right.
12:45And he's totally fine now, love.
12:47Yeah.
12:48And he is gorgeous.
12:49Oh, good.
12:50Oh, I can't wait to meet the little angel.
12:53Yeah, well, Rach said you're all welcome to come visit whenever you like.
12:55I go, I'm going to head back up there now.
12:56I'll give her our love.
12:57Bye-bye.
12:58Tone, good on you later.
13:00Jack would have been proud.
13:01Yeah, thanks very much.
13:02Good on you, Ralph.
13:03Thanks.
13:05Oh, hey.
13:06I heard the good news.
13:07Congratulations.
13:08Oh, yeah, thanks, Nick.
13:09Nice little boy.
13:10Good on you.
13:10See you.
13:11Hey.
13:13Hey, I fixed a dress.
13:15What, already?
13:16Well, yeah, I took it out last night to have another look at it,
13:18and I just couldn't resist.
13:20Oh, Nick, I hope you won't have all night.
13:22No, but I definitely do need a coffee.
13:25Well, look, it's on me.
13:26Sit down.
13:27I'll grab it.
13:28Colleen, can we grab a cappuccino from the cold?
13:31Here you go.
13:32Oh, what's this?
13:34It's the letter that Dad wrote for Aiden.
13:36I wanted to give it to you before things got too crazy.
13:39Actually, you know what?
13:40I mean, I've been thinking about this a lot,
13:41and I want to make it a surprise for Aiden,
13:43and I think you should read it out.
13:47Well, doesn't that depend on who Aiden chooses?
13:49Look, I really don't want to step on anyone's toes.
13:52Just leave that with me, okay?
13:56So, enjoy your coffee.
13:57I'll talk to you very soon.
13:58Okay, bye.
13:59Bye.
14:02Good, he's just had a feed.
14:04How are you?
14:05Yeah.
14:06He's been so noisy all morning.
14:08Is he?
14:10Have some tucker?
14:11How are you?
14:13How noisy.
14:22Mrs. Avent, if you can take a seat,
14:24Dr. Larkin will be with you shortly.
14:27Bye.
14:34My head is going to explode.
14:37Oh, baby.
14:38Look, hang over, cue up.
14:43How's the bar?
14:44Bob, I was going to ring the hospital.
14:46Aiden, I am so impressed.
14:48Do you even remember Rachel went into labour?
14:50Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
14:51No, they're doing really well.
14:53Their little boy, Harry, mum and bub, doing great.
14:57Awesome.
15:03Do you want to tell me something?
15:05Oh, no, Aiden, they're not for you.
15:07Ah-ha.
15:08No, they're a hen's present for Nicole.
15:11Ah, I should have guessed.
15:12That is not exactly her strong point.
15:18Actually, you know, I know we said that I wasn't going to have a bridal party, but I think
15:23you should still have the best man.
15:26Well, if Roman's the person I would have asked, so...
15:29Yeah, I know, so why not ask the next best person?
15:33Nicole.
15:36Nick, are you joking?
15:38Uh, apart from the fact that she's not a man.
15:42Yeah.
15:42Aiden, I'm aware of that.
15:43But, come on, you guys are close, and I know she's always been there for you.
15:48Are you sure you'd be cool with that?
15:50Yeah, Aiden, that stuff is all in the past.
15:53I just want us to focus on what really matters, you know, our friends and making each other happy.
15:59And I know that she'll say yes.
16:02So you've got it all worked out.
16:05Sure do.
16:19I think he's got your eyes, hasn't he?
16:21He looks like you.
16:22You reckon?
16:24Oh, he's definitely got the whole good pride.
16:27I reckon Lucas used to go on like this.
16:29I don't know.
16:41I keep having flashbacks of doing shots and sculling beers.
16:48Why?
16:48You don't even remember the stripper.
16:52I vaguely remember Squire taking his shirt off, but I've kind of blocked that out.
16:57Okay, gross.
16:58Yeah.
17:02So how are you feeling?
17:04Your last days as a free man.
17:07Yeah, and I'm spending it with a hangover.
17:12Actually, Bell, Bell kind of came up with an idea.
17:17And if you're not up for it, I swear, don't feel obligated at all.
17:21Just tell me what it is and I'll make up my mind for myself.
17:25I want you to be my best man.
17:28Okay, now you really are hungover.
17:31Yeah, look, I know.
17:31I know.
17:32Crazy.
17:34That's why I thought you'd go for it.
17:36It'd be really cool to have you there, Nick.
17:39I mean, we've been through a lot together.
17:42So I just figured, yeah.
17:48I don't know what to say.
17:51Well, have a think about it and let me know.
17:55I'll catch you later.
18:04I just feel a bit weird about it.
18:06You know, with what happened between me and Aidan.
18:09Oh, Nick, no, no, no.
18:10That was a long time ago.
18:11Look, Aidan wouldn't have asked if Bell wasn't all right with it.
18:14Yeah, you're right.
18:15I am.
18:15So just say yes.
18:16Ready?
18:17Ready for it?
18:17One, two, three.
18:19Yes.
18:19Yes, awesome.
18:20Can you please get that for me?
18:23Make yourself useful.
18:25Hello.
18:27Oh, sorry, Bell doesn't leave for any more, but can I take a message?
18:34Oh, okay.
18:36Yeah, I'll let her know.
18:37Bye.
18:44Bell?
18:48What are you doing?
19:01What are you doing?
19:11And Aidan is asleep.
19:12If you're in trouble, he needs to know.
19:14Nicole, when's the last time you went to an NA meeting?
19:18I'm sorry, but I don't think that is any of your business.
19:21It is now.
19:22Gil called while I was over at Jeff's.
19:23He said he hasn't heard from you in weeks.
19:29Bell, what...
19:30What is going on?
19:38Honestly, Nick, this isn't what you think.
19:39Aidan has no idea, does he?
19:42You are lying to him again.
19:43Please do not do this.
19:44You have no idea what you're talking about.
19:45No, I know what I saw.
19:49Aidan is my friend, and I am not going to let you do this to him again.
19:56You were meant to be marrying him tomorrow, and I can't believe that you were going to go into that
20:01lying to him.
20:18You want to know the truth?
20:20Yeah, I do.
20:23I'm sick.
20:30What?
20:33I have a tumour.
20:37I was diagnosed about a month ago.
20:45And, uh,
20:48it's so advanced that there's nothing that they can do.
21:02Next week on Home and Away.
21:04Please don't ask me to do this.
21:06Well, you certainly don't give much away, do you?
21:07You can try and cover up your wife's incompetence, but it's not going to work.
21:11I refuse to take the blame for your mistake.
21:13That kid was always trouble.
21:15Good riddance, I reckon.
21:16They're going to find him, and when they do, he's going to pay for what he did.
21:18This is coming, look out!
21:21Charlie!
21:21You haven't told him that I'm going to do this my way.
21:24If there's something I need to know, then just tell me.
21:26You're just going to go ahead with the wedding and hope that he shows up?
21:29Shouldn't the groom be here by now?
21:30There's going to be a wedding today.
