0:03:12 > 0:03:14What - for nearly giving me a heart attack?

0:03:14 > 0:03:18No. I can't believe you actually broke the window.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22It's all part of the gag. It's the tiny detail that makes all the difference.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32Can't believe you didn't tell me about Ben.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35- That's why they call it a surprise. - I've got a surprise for you, too.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Oh? Does that mean I have to get naked, does it?

0:06:40 > 0:06:43We have an appointment on Monday at an IVF clinic.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47What are you talking about?

0:06:48 > 0:06:51There was a last-minute cancellation.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53How come you didn't tell me earlier?

0:06:53 > 0:06:57Only found out this morning, and with the party and everything...

0:06:58 > 0:07:00We can't go back to the NHS.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02It's a private clinic.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05We can get a loan.

0:07:05 > 0:07:06It's not about the money, Beth.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I've been thinking about it for a while.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17It's just... Three times, love.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20What makes you think it's suddenly going to start to work now?

0:07:20 > 0:07:22It might, Jack.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26It's worth a try.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45I'm working a double shift tonight, so I'll not be in till after ten.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48- I'm sure we can afford it. - Afford what?

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Look, it's good what we've got. You know, you and me.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00I just don't want you getting like that again, that's all.

0:08:00 > 0:08:01You know how hard it was.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05It's not the same. I feel much stronger now.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11At least come to the appointment.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Yep. OK.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39- See you.- See you.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Did you talk to Jack?- Yes.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46- And?- I'm wearing him down slowly.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48If he's anything like his brother,

0:08:48 > 0:08:51he'll agree to anything after a pizza and a pint.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59What kept you? We're going to be late!

0:08:59 > 0:09:02I know. I'm sorry, love. The traffic was mental.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11Er... Before that I had a number of treatments,

0:09:11 > 0:09:13including fertility injections.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17Five or six IUI cycles, and then, finally, IVF.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22And what about lifestyle?

0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Do you smoke?- No, neither of us do. - No.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29- I try to look after myself. I run every day.- Good.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38So, er, what's the difference between private and NHS?

0:09:38 > 0:09:42The tests and treatments are much the same -

0:09:42 > 0:09:46cycle blood work, FSH, semen analysis.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50But we also do provide additional testings and treatments,

0:09:50 > 0:09:52but that will incur additional costs.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54That should be OK.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Yeah, yeah.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02I see your last attempt was seven years ago.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05I'm curious - why now?

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Er...

0:10:07 > 0:10:09it feels right.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11I just wanted to try one more time.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14What about you, Mr Roberts?

0:10:14 > 0:10:15Yeah.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18We've always wanted to have a baby.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Have you both thought this through?

0:10:21 > 0:10:25The whole process can put a considerable strain on a relationship.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Yeah. I'm sure we'll be fine.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33I see you were on anti-depressants for some time.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37Yes, er, but I haven't been on medication over two years. I'm fine.

0:48:41 > 0:48:42Chloe?

0:48:42 > 0:48:44Do you fancy some dinner?

0:48:51 > 0:48:53Chloe?

0:49:01 > 0:49:02Chloe?

0:49:04 > 0:49:05Shit!

0:49:10 > 0:49:12Chloe?

0:49:12 > 0:49:14Are you OK?

0:49:14 > 0:49:16You scared me.

0:49:18 > 0:49:20Are you looking for something?

0:49:22 > 0:49:23My book.

0:49:24 > 0:49:25Can I see?

0:49:27 > 0:49:30Mummy made it for me.

0:49:33 > 0:49:37This is when I was in my mummy's tummy.

0:49:37 > 0:49:39And that's me when I was just born.

0:49:42 > 0:49:44That's my first baby shoe.

0:49:44 > 0:49:45It's so tiny.

0:49:45 > 0:49:47Ah.

0:49:54 > 0:49:56Mummy took this one. We were at the beach,

0:49:56 > 0:49:59but I don't remember it - I was only two.

0:50:00 > 0:50:02Oh. Look who it is.

0:50:04 > 0:50:06I was three when I got Muttley.

0:50:08 > 0:50:10And this is me and my mummy on my last birthday.

0:50:14 > 0:50:15She's very pretty.

0:50:16 > 0:50:17Like you.

0:50:20 > 0:50:22There's some pages missing.

0:50:22 > 0:50:25I'm sure they'll turn up.

0:50:25 > 0:50:28- Can I keep it in my room? - Course you can.

0:50:47 > 0:50:49MOBILE RINGS

0:50:56 > 0:50:58Aye...

0:50:58 > 0:51:00Yeah, yeah.

0:51:00 > 0:51:01Hey, you two!

0:51:05 > 0:51:07Aye, I picked them up on eBay.

0:51:07 > 0:51:10- Some fella was flogging all his kit. - Result.

0:51:10 > 0:51:14I'm heading out on Saturday afternoon, if you're up for it?

0:51:15 > 0:51:18Right, this is ready. Marty, will you clear that stuff off the table?

0:51:18 > 0:51:20Yeah, in a minute.

0:51:20 > 0:51:23Marty. Dinner's ready.

0:51:23 > 0:51:24Bloody fishing!

0:51:25 > 0:51:28- Lucy, will you set the table? - Yeah, sure.

0:51:30 > 0:51:31Thanks, love.

0:51:33 > 0:51:36- You two seem to be getting on better.- Yeah.

0:51:36 > 0:51:40Seems to be redirecting all her hatred towards her stepdad.

0:51:40 > 0:51:42- He sounds like a total dick.- Oh!

0:51:43 > 0:51:45- Chloe seems on good form.- Yeah.

0:51:45 > 0:51:48It's good for her to be around other kids.

0:51:48 > 0:51:49Oh. Here. Take these over.

0:51:53 > 0:51:55What's that you're drawing, Chloe?

0:51:55 > 0:51:56That's me and my daddy.

0:51:56 > 0:51:59- And who's that?- That's Beth.

0:51:59 > 0:52:02It must be nice having your own room.

0:52:02 > 0:52:06I liked my old room at Mummy and Daddy's house better.

0:52:19 > 0:52:22So Tim picks up the mackerel

0:52:22 > 0:52:25and bangs it off the side of the pier...

0:52:25 > 0:52:27Oh, come on, Marty - we're trying to eat.

0:52:27 > 0:52:29I'm not trying to be gross.

0:52:29 > 0:52:32I'm just trying to say that he's fearless.

0:52:32 > 0:52:34This dinner's lovely, Shauna.

0:52:34 > 0:52:37- That sauce is great. It's got a right old kick to it.- Thanks.

0:52:37 > 0:52:40And pass down the wine - stop hogging it.

0:52:44 > 0:52:47'I need to know you've told me everything.'

0:52:48 > 0:52:51'You've got to believe me - there's no more surprises.'

0:52:54 > 0:52:58'I liked my old room at Mummy and Daddy's house better.'

0:55:11 > 0:55:12You're up early.

0:55:16 > 0:55:18I've made a list of all the bills.

0:55:18 > 0:55:20You'll sort them from now on.

0:55:20 > 0:55:21Yeah, OK.

0:55:21 > 0:55:26I've done all of Chloe's washing. And the window cleaner comes the first of every month.

0:55:26 > 0:55:28Just leave a tenner under the black bin.

0:55:31 > 0:55:32What's going on, Beth?

0:55:32 > 0:55:34Do you really have to ask?

0:55:35 > 0:55:37I'm leaving.

0:55:39 > 0:55:43But things are going really well - things are working out...

0:55:43 > 0:55:45- You can't leave us.- I'm not -

0:55:45 > 0:55:47I'm leaving you.

0:55:48 > 0:55:49I don't understand.

0:55:49 > 0:55:50All the lying.

0:55:50 > 0:55:52I told you the truth.

0:55:53 > 0:55:55No, you didn't, Jack.

0:55:55 > 0:55:57You told me you hardly knew her.

0:55:57 > 0:56:02You were off playing happy families on Christmas Day when you said you were working late.

0:56:02 > 0:56:08- Look, Beth...- I sat at Shauna's, while you were with her, and you made me feel guilty for complaining.

0:56:12 > 0:56:15All you ever wanted for us was to have a family.

0:56:16 > 0:56:19- We can be a family.- No, Jack.

0:56:19 > 0:56:21She's your child.

0:56:21 > 0:56:23She can be yours, too...

0:56:24 > 0:56:26I know, but not like this.

0:56:26 > 0:56:29Beth, wait!

0:56:29 > 0:56:31I'll do whatever it takes. We'll try the IVF.

0:56:31 > 0:56:35You don't get it, do you? I would have stayed for the truth.

0:56:35 > 0:56:38I used to think I'd give up everything to have a child, but I won't.

0:56:38 > 0:56:40- I love you, Beth. - Well, maybe you do,

0:56:40 > 0:56:43but I'm not going to waste my life looking back,

0:56:43 > 0:56:45- second-guessing everything.- Beth!

0:56:46 > 0:56:48Stop, please!

0:56:49 > 0:56:52Please. Just think about Chloe.

0:56:52 > 0:56:55She's a wonderful child,

0:56:55 > 0:56:57but she doesn't need our mess.

0:56:57 > 0:57:00Don't lie to her, Jack.

0:57:00 > 0:57:02She needs to be able to trust you.
