00:00Hold me in your arms, don't let me go.
00:05I want you to stay forever.
00:09Lots of each day.
00:12Come and away.
00:17What do you mean, staying here?
00:19Shush, I'm trying to explain.
00:21I'm just, I walk out yesterday and everything's normal,
00:24and I come back to find we've got a kid staying with us.
00:27What in front of him?
00:28The baby?
00:30Christy, Christy, Christy, there was nothing we could do.
00:34I'm so sorry.
00:36This is my fault, you know that it is.
00:38You can't blame yourself for this.
00:39I didn't want it.
00:41And now I'm being punished.
00:56Mummy!
01:11And Nicole and Romeo here?
01:13No.
01:16I thought it'd be better if you came home to a quiet house.
01:19How are you feeling, love?
01:22I might just go lay down for a bit.
01:29I'll bring you up something.
01:35She's still not travelling too, will I?
01:38I just want her to open up to me.
01:42I mean, this is something we should be dealing with together.
01:47She won't let me in.
01:52And I can't see that changing in a while.
01:58Did they give you any idea how long he'd be staying?
02:01I'm not sure.
02:03Are you hungry?
02:04Do you want some food?
02:05Martha, did they give you a time frame?
02:07What exactly does short term mean?
02:11Come on, I'll make you a sandwich.
02:13Come on.
02:18Hey.
02:19Can you stop blocking me out?
02:21We need to talk about this.
02:23And not now.
02:23You're scaring him.
02:25So we'll discuss it when?
02:27When you decide to get some sleep.
02:30Okay?
02:30Then we can talk about it more rationally.
02:49Hello, pet.
02:52I just wanted to see how you're feeling.
02:57It must be hard.
02:59Especially with Irene away, but...
03:03If there's anything you need, or...
03:06If you want to talk, I'm here for all of you.
03:20Talking about what happened.
03:23It might help.
03:26I know you've got miles, but...
03:30What you're going through...
03:32Only a woman can really understand.
03:35Only a woman can really understand.

03:52What about what you're doing?

04:23losing a baby it's never easy is mommy's out because the baby's gone
04:37yes mate in my experience it's times like these that young women need their mothers
04:44such a pity for kirstie that irene isn't here
04:58where's bumbang he's in xavier's room watching tv
05:04listen um i didn't mean to snap at you before i was just uh
05:11i don't know surprised i guess it's not every day you come home and find your girlfriends made a
05:17decision to take a small child in i'm sorry we didn't get time to talk about it everything
05:23happened pretty quickly well to be honest that's what worries me you've already had a huge year
05:30is taking on the responsibility of a small child really the best thing for you right now yes
05:37mother you go i know it's been a huge 12 months but you want to know the only reason why
05:42i got
05:42through it all because i had the help of other people and now it's time for me to give something
05:48back yeah but it's not necessarily that simple though is it i mean you've just come out of the election
05:56you trying to get the farm up and running but this is a huge commitment he's going to need constant
06:01care i didn't just jump into this without thinking about it well i'm not so sure about that look i
06:08understand why you want to help him i really do but i'm busy at work mum's got a new job
06:16xavier's at
06:17school i mean we'll help where we can but other than that you'll be on your own are you honestly
06:21prepared for that hugo this child is alone he needs someone to care for him i can't turn my back
06:27on that
06:27and deep down i know you can't either no of course i won't i said i'd help where i can
06:35good then you can start by supporting me i know what i'm doing
06:47shelly sutherland geez there's a name i haven't heard in donkeys talking to kyleen got me thinking
06:55maybe she does need family around yeah but she hasn't spoken to a mother for years i mean irene's
07:00been more of a mother to her yeah but she's not here and shelly is and i think she might
07:05be just
07:06the person to get through to her yeah maybe but hell of a lot of water's gone under the bridge
07:10between
07:10those two yeah there's been a rift she's never wanted to talk to me about it oh well shelly walked
07:18out on kirstie's father he then married a woman called beth hunter yeah she's mentioned her a few
07:23times oh yeah kirstie and beth were very close but then when shelly waltzed back in and broke up that
07:28marriage kirstie was furious she's barely spoken to her mother since yeah but getting upset about your
07:33parents getting together it was kind of teenage stuff don't you think it's not worth the five-year
07:38rift hey but isn't that kirstie's decision to make yeah but she's not talking to me she doesn't
07:43even want to sit in the same bed as me i can't take it anymore i'm barely holding it together
07:48somebody's got to give yeah well look it's it's your decision of course it is i'm just worried that
07:53if kirstie's not ready for this well maybe you'll finish up doing more harm than good
08:13okay
08:39Oh, Ollie, Ollie, sweetie, you can come give me a cuddle if you want.
09:06I can't believe this.
09:10What are you doing here?
09:11Yeah.
09:13Miles called me last night and told me what happened.
09:17But after everything that's happened...
09:18Shh.
09:19It doesn't matter, sweetheart.
09:23I'm so sorry about your baby.
09:37I thought that the pain would have started to go away by now.
09:44I thought that it would get easier.
09:49Just a little bit.
09:52But it hasn't.
09:55It's actually worse.
10:00It's just like...
10:04It's just like getting hit with all these waves.
10:12Everything is just so black, Mum.
10:17I don't know how to make it stop.
10:35How is she?
10:36I left her to get dressed.
10:38She said she'd be down in a minute.
10:42You did the right thing, Miles.
10:46Is she angry at me for calling you?
10:47No.
10:48No, just the opposite.
10:53It's so strange being in this house after all these years.
10:58Stone, the flaming prose.
11:00Shelley Sutherland.
11:01Alf.
11:02It's so good to see you.
11:03It's been way too long.
11:04Yeah, it sure has.
11:05Rhys sends his best.
11:07Oh, that's great.
11:07How is he?
11:08He's good.
11:09He's really good.
11:09That's great.
11:12This, uh...
11:13This must be Oliver.
11:14Ali, this is Mum's Mum.
11:17Are you Grandma?
11:18This is Grandma.
11:20Ali.
11:25This is for you.
11:28I'm sorry.
11:28It gets a bit shy with me, people.
11:30Please don't apologise.
11:31It'll take us some time to get to know each other.
11:35Oliver?
11:36Do you want to open your present from Grandma?
11:38OK.
11:42Actually, why don't the three of us go for a walk?
11:44I could do with some air and it'll give you an Ollie chance to get to know each other.
11:48Sounds good.
11:49OK.
11:50Come on, Ollie.
11:51Come on.
12:05Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?
12:07I never thought I'd see the day.
12:10Not after the scandalous way you left.
12:12Well, of course, I never judged you and Rhys but other people in the town couldn't help gossiping.
12:18It's good to see you too, Colin.
12:20Yeah.
12:20Well, I'm glad that Miles listened to my advice.
12:22I did suggest that Kirsty needed her mother at a time like this.
12:26How is the poor girl today?
12:29She's...
12:29She's getting there.
12:30She and Ollie are outside, actually.
12:31I'm here for some drinks.
12:32Three orange juices.
12:34Oh, yeah.
12:34Coming right up.
12:36So, what's your news?
12:37How are the girls?
12:38Is Danny still in France?
12:40Hey.
12:40How's it going at home with Bumpa?
12:44Um...
12:44Alright.
12:45I guess.
12:46You're not happy about him staying?
12:49It's just a bit of a shock, that's all.
12:51I still can't believe that Doc's allowed Martha to take him in.
12:55They couldn't find an appropriate alternative.
12:58If Martha wanted to do it, we could vouch for her.
13:01They also thought the fact that you'd spent some time in Indonesia might help him adjust.
13:05Well, given I hardly speak the language, you don't see how.
13:08Anyway, if he gets too attached to Martha, isn't it just going to be harder on him when they move
13:12him on?
13:13Maybe, but I guess that's not going to be an issue if her application's approved.
13:18Her application for what?
13:22When exactly were you planning on telling me you want to foster him?
13:26You keep your voice down, he's in the other room.
13:28No, I will not keep my voice down.
13:31How can you even consider this without talking to me first?
13:34Why do you think?
13:35Because I knew you'd fly off the handle.
13:36And you were right.
13:38Applying to foster him is just... it's insane.
13:41When did you decide this?
13:43This morning.
13:45And you didn't think it was worth mentioning?
13:48I wanted to see if it was possible first, otherwise there'd be no point in having this conversation.
13:53Martha, you're not getting it.
13:55First it's a couple of days, now it's longer term.
13:57You can't just make decisions that affect us as a couple without consulting me.
14:01The application was for temporary placement only, which means until he finds a family.
14:05It is not a lifetime commitment.
14:07And what exactly does temporary mean?
14:09I don't know, like three, six months, I don't know.
14:13Do you get that you're not the only person to consider in all of this?
14:16Other people live in this house too.
14:18Which is why I thought that he could live with me on the farm full time if things don't work
14:22out here.
14:22That's not the point.
14:23But what is the point? I don't understand why you're making such a big deal out of this.
14:27I'm making a big deal out of it because you're making a mistake.
14:29You know what, I can't talk to you when you're like this.
14:31I'm going ahead with the application whether you like it or not.
14:48Hey.
14:53I'm sorry.
14:55I didn't mean to lose it with you.
14:58I guess I just let my worry get the better of me.
15:01I was always going to tell you about this.
15:04That was the plan.
15:07I honestly thought you would be okay with this.
15:11I can't believe how wrong I was.
15:19It's not just you I'm worried about.
15:22It's Bambang.
15:26Spending time in Indonesia gave me a pretty good insight into how Indonesian kids are brought up.
15:33I know. It's different to here.
15:35Yeah.
15:36It is.
15:38The language, obviously.
15:40The culture.
15:43I mean, it's important he doesn't lose sight of where he's come from.
15:48You need to think about what's best for him in all this.
15:54So you think I'm being selfish because I want to look after him?
15:58I don't think you could be selfish if you tried.
16:02But he's been brought up in a world that we could never fully understand.
16:07He needs to be with people who can give him everything that we can't.
16:17His attachment to you, it's natural.
16:21You were the first person to show him affection when he was found.
16:24Of course he's going to latch on to that.
16:26But that doesn't mean that you're the best person to be looking after him.
16:34You have the most beautiful, generous spirit of anyone I've ever met.
16:42But this isn't the right thing to do.
16:47And I think if you really look inside yourself, you know that too.
17:03And what shall we make for his nose? How about tomato?
17:07Yeah.
17:07Okay.
17:10That's good hair.
17:12Look, he's smiling.
17:14He is.
17:16I still can't believe that she's here.
17:18Are you sure you're not angry about me calling your mum?
17:22No.
17:24Not at all.
17:26I like that she's here.
17:35Kirst, I was thinking it might be nice to have a ceremony for the baby, you know.
17:40No.
17:40I can't.
17:42I'm sorry.
17:45Sure.
17:53Kirst, I can't keep on doing this on my own.
17:56We really need to be doing this together.
18:00I'm worried about you.
18:03What you said last week about blaming yourself for what happened.
18:10I should go and check on Ollie and Mum.
18:16Oh, is it okay if you sleep in Romeo's room again tonight?
18:20That way Mum can share with me.
18:22Sure.
18:23Thanks.
18:37I just spoke to Docs. They're only about ten minutes away.
18:42I've got to say, I was surprised when you rang and said you wanted to bring Bumbung in.
18:46You seemed so certain about applying to foster him this morning.
18:49Yeah, once we had a chance to think about it, we realised it wasn't the right thing.
18:54For me or for him.
18:58Is that the only reason you changed your mind?
19:01Yeah, why wouldn't it be?
19:04It's just Hugo didn't seem too thrilled about the idea when I saw him earlier at the diner.
19:09He wasn't as keen on the idea as I was.
19:12Look, I'm sorry that he had to find out from me. I just assumed that he knew.
19:16No, it's okay.
19:18Anyway, I think he was right.
19:21We need to think about what's best for Bumbung.
19:25And that means finding him the right family that can look after him better than I can.
19:37Hey.
19:40How'd it go?
19:42Bumbung just left with the Docs officer.
19:46How was he?
19:49He was upset.
19:51And crying.
19:53And he didn't want to let go of me.
19:58You did the right thing.
20:01I know it doesn't seem like it now.
20:05But you did.
20:07I hope so.
20:10I know I didn't know him for long.
20:15Sorry, I'm really tired.
20:29It's really good to be here, sweetheart.
20:33Miles seems lovely and it's pretty obvious Ollie thinks the world of him.
20:41You know, it may not be my place to say this, but is there something more going on between you
20:48and Miles?
20:49I mean, more than just the baby.
21:05Next time on Home and Away.
21:07It's a bummer I've got to stay in town a night.
21:09Depending on how it goes, it might even be two nights.
21:11Xavier, we shouldn't be using Liam's place without asking.
21:13It's going to be a tea party compared to the parties Liam were throwing.
21:16Happy Halloween. Does this party rock or what?
21:19You call this a little get together?
21:21You having a good time?
21:22Are you kidding?
21:23Why don't we make this even more fun?
21:24Come on guys, just go please.
21:26Come on mate, just go.
21:27Party's over.
