Series 4, Episode 7

1 You're pregnant.
No, no.
I can't be pregnant.
I'm supposed to be having my brother's baby.
You carry Kane's child? You cannot be serious.
I'm pregnant! - I'm here to steal Frankie.
- Oh.
I have rights.
- I'm her father.
- You have no proof.
I haven't explained the situation to the boys and Angie.
I will, when the time's right.
I'll wait till after the trial, but then I'll tell Angie myself.
Once I've won full custody.
Well, this is a game I wish it wasn't so - Guys, what are you doing? - What does it look like? - Oh! - What? - You double-bounced me.
- No, I didn't.
- Yes, you did.
- What about the kids? - They've all had a go.
- It's our turn now.
And don't get upset When you don't get what you think you deserve oh This is a game Whoa-ooh! Look at this for a birthday treat.
Pancakes! Happy birthday, Angie.
- Yum.
- OK, what do we have here? Some birthday cards.
Alright.
Let's open this first one.
"Happy birthday.
" Oooh.
"Love to Angie from Auntie Jean.
" Ten dollars.
Want it? There you go.
And the second one we have, it reads, "From the Obertan Family Dentist.
"Angie Baynie's appointment confirmed.
" Does it have money in it? Dentist's appointment? Are you kidding? Ah, can we discuss this later? No.
You don't make her appointments.
I do that.
I was concerned about her dental hygiene.
- Her what? - She doesn't know how to floss.
She's five years old.
That is the age when good habits are learned.
I'm sorry.
I don't know who you are.
This is Fiona.
Fiona Coates, Justin Baynie.
I was just saying, at Angie's age Yeah, yeah.
Just don't.
Don't say anything because you're not involved.
Fiona's actually a family consultant.
She's been appointed by the Family Court to compile a report about us.
I'll be spending time with Rodney and Angie and also you and Angie, observing the interaction between parent and child.
Observing? So the court can make a decision regarding custody.
I've just been here for Rodney's initial interview.
I need to make a time to meet with you.
I have left messages for you twice.
And I'd like to organise a party.
What? - For Angela, for her birthday.
- You can't.
I've already organised.
Well, I'd like to be there and Fiona should be there too.
If that's OK with Justin.
Let me get this straight, you've invited Rodney, who you hate, - to a party you're not having? - Yeah.
I had no choice, you know? - The woman was there.
- What woman? The court appointed her.
She's assessing his parenting skills.
There's a train wreck.
I mean, it would be for anyone.
Well, you've got to have the party now.
Go big, big cake, pony rides.
Blow her mind.
Kane's right.
Dazzle her.
You can have it at my place.
I'll get a bouncy castle.
- Kane can make a cake.
- No, no, I don't need bouncy cakes or fairy castles, OK? I'm a serious, hard-working parent.
Dental hygiene, boys.
Gentlemen.
Kane, can I have a word? New lipstick.
Suits you.
- I need you to move your van.
- Is it blocking something? Possible safety issue.
Move it into Smith Street.
Smith Street? That's miles away.
- I can't sell any pies from there.
- Why not? Give us a break.
We're practically family.
Practically.
Alex was taking me through your wedding plans.
- You've organised a celebrant.
- Yes.
I'm sure they're very professional.
Can you move your van? I told you this would happen.
We should have asked Auntie Heather to be the celebrant.
She's the headmistress.
We want a nice, relaxed wedding, not a school assembly.
- We'll cancel the other celebrant.
- I've already paid a deposit.
Auntie Heather should do it.
She really wants to.
So we just let her bully us into it? This is our wedding.
She doesn't get to make the decisions.
Yeah, well, maybe she should make some.
Do you ever stand up to her? - Regarding what? - Regarding anything at all.
- Mark, now, this came from HR.
- What is it? The results of your 360 performance review.
I didn't know I was having one.
It's a questionnaire filled out by your colleagues.
- I'll have a read.
- Don't bother.
It's all quite positive, so nothing useful.
OK.
"Motivational manager, aspiring team player, personable, generous.
" "Waffles?" Bed six, Mrs Eldershaw did she have a tetanus shot? Ah, actually, I don't no, she did.
No, she did? I mean, she definitely did.
Sorry.
I am so tired.
I'm just I feel shocking.
I'm really thirsty - You unwell, Gem? - Too much exercise.
Dehydrated.
That's what it must be.
You don't drink ginger tea.
- I do now.
- You're a five-coffees-a-day person.
Well, I'm trying to cut down.
It's obvious.
You're pregnant.
You're having your brother's baby, yeah? You're the surrogate? Yes, I am.
That's incredible, going through all of that to help a sibling.
You're an amazing person.
Amazing is one word for it.
What was I supposed to say? How about the truth? I couldn't.
If he suspects for one minute that I'm having this baby for myself, that is my career finished.
Come on.
Saxon tells management, I don't get the promotion.
You know it.
We can't both be having Kane's baby.
Exactly.
- So which one of us is? - Me.
And I'm not pregnant? It's only for a week, until I get the promotion.
- Hm.
- Please? - Waffles.
- Mark? That's the nickname they've given me at work.
Because you're Belgian? No.
Apparently I talk a lot and I don't get to the point.
I drag it out and it's not quite as pointy as it should be.
I don't quite get to the point as In short, I waffle.
This is the part where you're supposed to say, "No, you don't.
" Yeah, Mark, we're a doctor down here.
I always thought of myself as quite direct, you know, straight to the point, on point, as it were.
I've got to go.
Green! Green! Come on, let's go.
Let's see some running.
Alright.
She's coming here? Yeah.
She wants to observe me very time I'm with Angie, you know, here, home, anywhere.
Well, you have nothing to worry about.
You're a great dad.
I hope I'm not intruding.
It's cool.
Red! I'm Lewis Crabb, Justin's business partner.
I can see you moving.
He's very good at the business.
The business business this business.
Green! Let's take a break for a moment.
- You all brought your lunch, right? - Everyone in the parachute! Here we go.
Here's a little drink and I've got your sandwich too.
- And this is Mrs Coates.
- Miss.
Fiona.
Hello, Angie.
Yeah, she's going to be hanging out with us for a bit and watch us.
Hey, Tav, you OK? - You got lunch? - Yeah.
Bag of lollies? That's it? - Yeah.
- Hey, Tav, come here.
Angie's going to share her lunch with you.
Come on.
There you go, mate.
He's great with kids too.
Bag of lollies, that's what his dad gave him for lunch.
No wonder he couldn't run.
I thought he was just lazy.
Maybe you should assess his parents.
Dad! Dad! Daddy! - Hey, he can't breathe.
- He's having some sort of reaction.
Ah.
Adrenaline pen.
I'll get it.
One second.
Hang in there, buddy.
We'll sort you out.
Right.
Stay calm, mate.
This won't hurt a bit.
There you go.
Deep breaths.
You OK, mate? You must have put peanut butter in the sandwich.
- It was curried egg.
- It might have been on the knife - and you cross-contaminated.
- Oh.
How is he? He's allergic to egg.
He's OK.
He's a bit rattled but good work with the adrenaline pen.
- Egg allergy.
What next? - You did the kid's registration.
- Why didn't you write it in the book? - I think I did.
- Egg allergy, rings a bell.
- Right.
Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you check it before you started shoving curried egg down his throat? Keep it quiet, please.
- You know what? I should have looked.
- It wasn't your fault.
It was whatsherface Fiona consultant up in your grille.
- Who? - She's writing a report on him as a parent for the court.
Yeah, so I poison a kid right in front of her.
- At least it wasn't yours.
- That's the best you've got? Where's consultant lady now? Surely you can explain.
She's coming to my house later on.
You're going to have to charm the pants off her.
Well, you know, not literally.
Although that might help.
Justin.
Frankie.
Ah, are you not feeling well, or? The hospital.
- I just thought - Oh! I brought in one of the kids.
- Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
- Not my kids, just one I poisoned.
- Oh.
- By accident.
Egg.
He's going to be OK, I think.
It's good to see you.
Yeah, it's good to see you too.
We should hang out.
Francesca.
Hi.
Sorry I'm late.
Twisted testicle, quite complex.
- Oh.
- Justin.
How are you going? - Good.
- Are you waiting for someone? - OK.
So, lunch? - Yeah.
Right.
See you later, Just.
So we do the walls in August Straw and we do a feature wall in Jalapeno.
- Yeah, good call.
- And a mobile thing.
Yes.
Do you believe our baby's going to spend its first night in here? I assumed she/he would be coming to my place first.
No.
I just thought it made more sense for it to come here.
- More sense? - There's more room.
And I just well, I just imagined we imagined - it would be better here.
- You prefer your place? I'm the mother.
A baby should be with its mother.
It's the first night.
Maybe you should move in with us.
I mean, Kane said it.
We've got plenty of room.
And all that travelling back and forward, that's boring for everyone.
That's very generous of you, Alex.
Yeah, it really is.
It'll save so much hassle, time and money, don't you think? - Pink or green, Daddy? - Green.
Hey, Fiona, that egg thing, that's never happened before.
I always check the books, always.
- Yeah, you've explained.
- Yeah, I just don't want the court - to get hold of it, that's all.
- Legally, everything's on the record.
That's a rule of the court.
Can it not be? I would like it not to be on the record.
What's court, Daddy? It's, um it's a big building.
But what's it for? It's where grown-ups go to have fights.
Are you going there? No.
I don't normally L-I-E.
- Honest.
- Justin, listen.
You're not on trial.
Nobody's judging you.
What am I on then if I'm not on trial? I'm simply taking a snapshot of existing arrangements.
- Existing? - I understand you'd like those arrangements to continue? That's listed as your preferred option.
My preferred option is how things were before Rodney turned up.
Dad, come outside.
I'm just talking to the lady.
- Cool pen.
- Thank you.
You wrote my name, and Angie's.
Hey, Zac, come this way for a second, OK? Except it says my name.
Hey, come on.
Back off for a minute, will you? Go get yourselves a drink.
As you know, Rodney's proposing substantial changes to the arrangements.
- Yeah, I know.
- And, as he's the biological father, we Sh.
Come.
Let's get away from the kids, shall we? But the point of me being here is - to observe you with the kids.
- Yeah, yeah.
I'm aware of that.
Is Angie aware that Rodney's her father? - No.
No, she's not.
No.
- But she's going to find out? Yeah.
Yeah, from me, not you, and not Rodney.
And he promised me he wouldn't say anything until I spoke to her after the trial.
I thought you might have spoken to her before this.
Is that right? Have you, um? Have you got any kids? That's not relevant.
Do you have any idea what it's like trying to explain to a four-year-old? - It's really it's not that simple.
- A five-year-old.
Angie's five.
I know how old my daughter is, OK? - I know everything about my daughter.
- You're being aggressive, Justin.
I'll come back when you've calmed down.
I can't believe you just asked her to move in.
She said she'd think about it.
- That pretty much always means no.
- No, it doesn't.
At least it'd stop you both from arguing.
That's how you solve arguments? You just invite people to cohabitate? Her landlord's a weirdo.
I feel sorry for her.
What? Yeah, he turns up at her apartment and just lets himself in whenever he wants.
- That's illegal.
- Yeah, he's a creep.
She genuinely scared of him.
Yeah, she'd better move out of there before the baby's born.
Yeah, I agree.
Hey, I know.
Why doesn't she move in here with us? Look, we're about to get married.
We need to be making room for a new crockery set, not a housemate.
Ah, so, how's it looking? You there yet? Thanks.
- Thank you.
- Look, if the offer still stands, - I'd love to move in.
- Really? Hell yeah.
I've got to get out of where I'm living.
- As long as I can watch the footy - No.
Not No.
No to the football? You can't move in, Eve.
Really, it's not the right time.
- Kane! - No.
It's a bad idea.
I get it.
It's fair enough.
Do you really think this is going to impress the observer? Do you think she cares how big the party is? Friends, food, family, sharing the love.
- What else matters? - I don't know.
Clearing up afterwards? Look, I get it.
I'm just not really sure I'm up to it physically.
Darl, it's a barbie.
You don't have to do a thing.
Hm.
I love the way you say that with a straight face.
Hey, guys.
Just got some extra stuff for the party.
There you go.
Help's arrived already.
- I'll give you a hand.
- Got some more boxes in the van, - just some party pies, some cakes.
- Oh, good.
Some dinner.
Not for you.
You'll be having something super-healthy, I hope.
- Really? - What have you got in there? Some streamers, balloons, sparklers and I think there are some candles in here somewhere.
I've got some - Gemma! Gemma.
Are you alright? - Are you hurt? Sir, can I help you? - I'm here to see Gemma Crabb.
- It's next of kin only in here.
Yeah, I am next of kin.
I'm the father.
The baby's fine but we will run a few more tests, just to make absolutely sure You kept this well-hidden.
You and Abi pregnant at the same time.
What are the odds? - Congratulations.
- Thanks.
You too, Lewis.
You've got a tiger in the tank.
Is Gemma going to be alright? I don't see any reason to be worried but with geriatric pregnancies - Geriatric? - It's a standard medical term, darl.
I've ordered more bloods and a CT scan.
Gemma, you said you were tired and thirsty before the dizzy spell.
I'm fine, honestly.
How thirsty would you say you were? Excessively? On a scale of one to ten? - Ten.
- I am next of kin, OK? Here you are.
You OK? - Kane.
- I'm meant to be here.
- Kane, can we have a quick chat? - Wh - Is everything alright? - Gemma is OK.
And the baby? The baby is fine and, if anyone asks, you're not the father.
- What? - You can't be, just for now.
- Are you nuts? - I need you to do this for me.
Lewis.
I am Kane's surrogate.
You and Gemma are having your own baby.
- What? - Just as far as Saxon is concerned, and anyone else in the hospital.
Is that what you told him? Look, it's only until I lock in my promotion.
Right now the only thing I'm concerned about - is my wife's health.
- And the baby.
The baby is fine, Kane, if that's all you care about.
What? I also care about Gemma.
If Gemma wasn't pregnant, whatever's happening here wouldn't be happening.
Gestational diabetes.
Gestational diabetes isn't symptomatic.
It's rare for it to present like this but the indicators are all there.
Well, what is it exactly? It's a type of diabetes which occurs during pregnancy if the mother's not producing enough insulin - How serious are we talking? - Can it harm the baby? If left untreated it's not good for the mother or the child.
Are you here to support Lewis? Yes.
Yes, I'm here for Lewis.
Nothing's confirmed yet.
Gemma needs to fast overnight, then we can test properly tomorrow.
Then, if it's diabetes, we can talk.
I'm into that.
I want to go home.
Gestational diabetes can be managed.
I read some case studies.
- The baby could have growth issues.
- I read that too.
- It's rare.
- It can happen.
All sorts of stuff can be caused by the mother's diabetes.
That's the Internet, though.
It blows everything out of proportion.
- The doctors are on it.
- And you know what? It's completely out of our hands.
I had to beg Lewis to be able to see the doctor.
It's like we're not even a part of it.
- Got everything you need? - I am terrific, honestly.
This was a mistake.
We should never have agreed to let you be Kane's surrogate.
It's a bit late now.
If anything happens to you Apart from this setback, I'm perfectly healthy.
We've got nothing to worry about.
And I put my hand up for this.
It's not Kane's fault.
- Dad, you took my ruler and pencil.
- You don't want 'em washed? There you go.
Hey, are you emotionally emotionally shut? Emotionally what? "Justin presents as emotionally shut down.
" The lady left it here.
Fiona? Fiona left it here, or you took it from her? She's writing about us.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's her job.
Why? What's it for? She said I'm going out.
- Outgoing.
- Oh, you read it too, Jacob? Why? What's it for? She's, er She's writing a book.
- About us? - Yeah.
Yeah, about us.
And you guys can't read her private notes anymore.
OK? Back to work.
What else did she say? She says I'm repressed.
She also said I was emotionally shut down.
But that's a good thing, right? How? Well, I've always been accused of being a hothead but obviously I'm more in control now.
It's not a compliment.
Basically she's saying you don't engage.
You lack empathy.
- What's wrong with that? - That means you're a serial killer.
Keep it down, will you? Gemma's sleeping.
Justin, you've got open up, engage.
Be vulnerable.
You need to take this woman on a journey.
- A journey to where? - An emotional journey.
Oh, OK.
Alright, so you want me to waffle.
Waffling can be a positive thing.
You don't want her to tell the court you're a psychopath.
Finally got the kids to agree on a DVD.
Thanks.
Look, you need to ring her, you need to get her over to your house and you need to talk to her, a lot.
Can I just say this is not normal procedure? I'm not on call 24/7.
Yeah, I know.
I know, but it's important.
We need to talk.
I'm listening.
I'm actually quite emotion ally vulnerable.
Yeah.
Some really intense things have happened to me.
- You're not writing this down.
- Like what? Like, er, you know Lucy.
Lucy was Angie's mother? No.
No, that was Nicola.
She died.
That was the worst.
But Lucy was more recent.
- What? Lucy died too? - No, no.
We broke up.
I'm sorry to hear that.
And do you think you've recovered? Have you processed all of that? That the thing.
I just pick myself up and I just get back in the game.
You know.
That's what I do.
And I'm not closed down.
I'm open.
I'm available.
- Alright, Justin - See, Fiona, I'm open right now.
See, I've had this person come into my life recently.
OK, it's not the best of situations.
I can't say I know her that well but she she seems super-smart, you know? Together, and obviously really knows her way around kids.
OK, I'm going to stop you right there.
This is inappropriate.
- What? - I can't allow this.
I'm sorry.
What are you talking about? I'm trying to open up.
I can't be involved with you, Justin.
Surely you understand that.
- I wasn't No.
Fi, I - Stop.
Stop, please, just I am going to leave now.
We do a blood test first, then the glucose drink.
- Here, drink this.
We'll see.
- That's it? That's the test? Yep.
We take blood again in an hour and then again in two hours.
Shall we go home, come back? I think while you're here we might do an ultrasound, take a good look.
Oh.
It's Kane.
Any news? Uh-uh.
Test takes a while.
They just drink some stuff and wait around.
- OK.
I'd better go say hello.
- No, don't.
They're about to do an ultrasound.
- I should be in there.
- No, Kane.
You've done enough.
Sorry? - You put my wife's health in danger.
- Gemma agreed.
Because of you, pressuring her when Abi couldn't be your surrogate.
- That's not what - You and your baby crusade, - that's what got us here.
- You're blaming me? I'm not the one who got my wife pregnant.
Hey, guys.
- We're ready when you are.
- I'll be right behind you.
Not you.
Lewis is upset, that's all.
He's just worried about Gemma.
Yeah, I get that, but it's not like I don't care about Gemma too.
- Does it mean the party's on or off? - As far as I know, it's on.
Look, I should go help set up.
None of this is Justin's fault.
Think I should go as a superhero too? Call myself Yes-Man, a superhero who can't say no.
I should have said yes to Eve.
Being shut out of the ultrasound made me realise that kind of thing can't happen once the baby's born, not to Eve, not to us.
A lot easier if we're under the same roof.
I think we need to be.
- Ah, yeah, number one.
- Yep.
- There she is.
- Eve.
- Eve.
- Hi.
What a surprise.
- We need to talk.
- Sure.
Maybe later.
I'm in a rush.
Squash.
I made a mistake.
I want you to move in.
- Really? - Really.
- You sure? - Absolutely, totally sure.
Yay! I've got to run, though.
See you.
Auntie Heather? Alex.
Kane.
Hi.
I just stopped by to drop something off to Eve.
Some healthy eating guidelines for the canteen.
But I brought my squash racquet instead.
Ooh! Silly me.
I'll give it to you Monday.
Heather, don't.
May as well tell them now.
I'm moving in with these guys.
We shouldn't have secrets.
What secrets? Alright.
Heather isn't here to talk healthy eating guidelines.
- I'm here to see Eve.
- To play squash.
Well, yes, we are squash partners.
We're also involved off-court.
On a personal level.
- Personal as in? - Romantic.
- (LAUGHS) - The new lipstick.
You're dating my auntie? Amazing.
Congratulations.
- Thanks.
- Kane.
Yeah, amazing.
(LAUGHS) Here's the birthday girl.
Happy birthday, sweetie.
What have you got there? Lolly bags.
She made them herself.
I have one for you.
Oh, thank you.
You're not allowed to have it till later.
Yeah, they're the rules.
OK.
How about I put these away somewhere safe? Let's go.
Where is everyone? - At the hospital.
- Bouncy castle! Hey! Be careful, you kids.
- Yeah, we will.
- Are there any responsible adults? I think that'd be you and me.
Oh, Lewis got the bouncy castle.
So much for keeping it real.
So how did you go with the observer? Yeah, we met up, we spoke, I opened up.
Good stuff, because I know about this.
We've been doing psychological profiling at work.
Yeah, you wrecked everything.
You and Lewis, you stuffed it up.
- She thinks I'm into her.
- Are you? No.
No, I was just doing what you said.
You really must have opened up to her.
- Gestational diabetes? - Mm-hm.
Saxon was right all along.
- I'm so sorry.
- Look, it's annoying but manageable.
I can help you put together a meal plan if you like.
I guess Lewis is pretty happy with me right now.
He'll get over it, - at some point.
- What's Miss Looby doing here? Excuse me.
Eve.
You brought a date.
Oh, no.
It's not what you think.
I think it's great, you two being so open already.
Ah, Kane - Miss Looby.
- Hi.
- Thanks for coming.
- You invited Miss Looby? It's a good look for Justin's observer to have the school principal at the party.
- Anything I can do to help Justin.
- Make yourself at home.
Thank you.
As school principal, it's very important that my life outside the school remain private.
I'd appreciate your discretion on this.
- Of course.
- I know this must be a shock.
It was a surprise for us too.
But I wanted to assure you that just because I'm involved with Eve it doesn't mean to say I'll interfere with how you raise the baby.
I didn't think it would.
And you can park your pie van anywhere you want.
- I can? - I spoke to Alex.
Thank you for asking me to be your celebrant.
(LAUGHS) She's so excited.
Yeah.
Hey.
Hey.
How are you? Your mate's arrived.
Just relax.
Breathe.
I'll go and talk to your dad.
Hey, fellas.
Hey, Justin.
You seen Fiona? - I don't think she's coming.
- Oh, no, she's here.
I just saw her on the way in, and she's brought along a colleague with her.
Justin, this is Hayden.
He's a fellow consultant.
Can we talk for a moment? With Hayden present.
OK.
- You got it all wrong when I said - I heard what I heard.
Right, cos I am not attracted to you, at all, in any way whatsoever.
- We don't need to get personal.
- Personal? What? I mean, how is it not personal? Any of it? You have control over my entire family.
Now you're getting aggressive again.
- Dad.
- Just a minute, sweetheart.
I'm not being aggressive, mate, OK? I'm not aggressive.
- Look.
Look what I've got.
- What, baby? What's up? My painting.
Oh, wow.
That's cool.
Did you do this? I painted it with my other daddy, Rodney.
- High five.
Whoo! - Abi, it's nice to see you.
You were right about the diabetes.
I know.
Gemma's going to have to take it easy.
Lewis must be worried, and Kane, I guess.
Just from what I've heard.
Unless both you and Gemma are surrogates for Kane.
How many kids does he want? My baby's not for Kane.
Mine's for me and Mark.
You figured that out already.
Have you told Belinda? Why would I do that? You tell the boss, you win, you get the promotion.
You really think I'd do that? Squeal on you? Yeah, I do, absolutely.
Well, that's just sad.
Frankie! Hey.
You coming? Couldn't help yourself, could you? You told Angie.
Not here, mate, not here.
You told her.
Of course I told her.
It's the truth.
I said let me break the news.
Remember? You said, "Yeah.
Yeah, Justin, yeah.
" We agreed.
After the trial, remember that? It just came out.
We were painting pictures and It just came out, did it? Look, she gave me her painting and she asked me if I knew who was in it.
And I said it looked like a little girl and her father, and she said I was silly, that it was a picture of me and her, and I wasn't her dad.
So I couldn't lie to her.
I had to tell her the truth.
Angie's awareness may not be a bad thing, Justin.
It's not the point.
I wanted it to come from me.
What are you writing? Can you stop writing? Justin, get a grip.
Auntie Heather is a very experienced celebrant.
You can't say no to her, ever.
She and Eve will make all the decisions and you'll side with them.
Not necessarily.
Not all the time.
It'll be three votes to one in my own home.
Looby's already talking about raising the baby.
There's no way Eve's moving in.
Are you going to un-invite her? You can't do that.
Face it, Kane, our household, we're not just a family, we're a tribe.
You already knew that.
That's what makes us cool.
Yeah, a tribe where I don't get to make any decisions.
Looby will be chief.
This is a game - What about the kids? - They've all had a go.
It's our turn now.
Eve and Looby, they're an item.
Yeah.
Rodney told Angie he's her dad.
What's the problem anyway? What's wrong with having two dads? Ah, what do you think? Nothing wrong with having an extended family.
You know, it's like being in a tribe.
Oh, you reckon? I think it's weird.
- Weird? - Yeah.
- How is it weird? - He didn't mean that.
No, no.
I mean weird.
You know, a bunch of people raising a kid, it doesn't work.
Are you an idiot? Are you a prehistoric, out-of-the-swamp idiot? Prehistoric? Hey, you're the one in a tribe.
- Angie's only ever needed one dad, me.
- That doesn't mean it's perfect for everyone else.
I'm not talking about - everyone else, Kane.
- Yes, you were.
You were saying that everyone else was weird.
Kane, do you want your kids to have five parents? Is that what you want? What's wrong with that? If there's five people and they love the child, then there's nothing wrong with that.
That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard.
- Are you an idiot? - Guys.
Guys.
Come on.
- Yeah, fellers - You've got no idea.
- Like you do.
- At least I'm the actual father.
Mate In you go, sweetie.
There we go.
Zac, help her with her belt, please.
Thanks.
How's the jaw? It's fine.
I'm sorry, mate.
I didn't really mean it.
It was just Rodney and the observer.
It's OK, mate.
Hey, maybe the observer didn't see it.
- She saw it.
- Yep, she did.
Yeah.
There goes the court case.
Don't think like that.
You don't know what she's going to write.
I've got a pretty good idea.
They're going to do another ultrasound in four weeks.
I'll let you know the date.
Thanks.
So your mum and I, we were, you know - Married? - Yeah, yeah.
And then, then her and Rodney, they became friends after that, and they made Angie.
How? We'll get to that.
It's the second part of the conversation.
The point is you, Jacob and Angie are family, OK? You're brothers and sisters.
That doesn't change.
And I'm your father, always.
But Angie's got an extra dad.
Yeah, Rodney.
Rodney is Angie's other dad.
Do we have other dads, me, Jacob? No.
No, you don't.
Hey, you understand what I'm saying? - I want another party.
- What? You already had a party.
- I want another one.
- No, it's our turn next.
OK, you have one.
I love parties.
Come here, you.
Oh! Love you, baby.
You're my favourite daddy.
Go, go.
Over here, Jake.
Over here.
Quick.
- (DANCE MUSIC) - (KIDS CHATTER AND SQUEAL) Dad!
