0:00:30 > 0:00:32If you'd just like to come through.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34What do you think you're doing?

0:00:34 > 0:00:36I'm coming in with you. I don't need hand-holding.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38I want to know what she says.

0:00:38 > 0:00:39You're like a shadow I can't shake off.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Mum's not feeling very well.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43I can speak for myself. I was just saying.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45In what way are you not feeling well?

0:00:45 > 0:00:46She's tired all the time.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48It's not all the time.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51I just feel a bit more tired than normal.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Mrs Larkin... It's not Mrs,

0:00:53 > 0:00:54and it's Diane.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Diane, are you happy to discuss your medical details

0:00:57 > 0:00:58in front of your daughter?

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Of course she is.

0:01:00 > 0:01:01I've got a right to be here.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03It's my baby she's carrying.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09A few more hours under the duvet wouldn't have gone amiss.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11I knew you would.

0:01:12 > 0:01:13Would what?

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Listen to the late-night broadcast of HMS Pinafore.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19It did not finish until very late, but it was superb.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21It wasn't that, I'm afraid.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25Mrs Tembe, I came in this morning with some food shopping.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27You wouldn't happen to know where it is?

0:01:27 > 0:01:30No, but I will ask around for you.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Mr Gree...Grennock?

0:01:37 > 0:01:40Hi, Adam Grundy. I'm here to see the nurse.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42If you would like to, erm, take a seat.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44What are you doing here?

0:01:44 > 0:01:45Hello.

0:01:45 > 0:01:46I've got patients all day.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Oh, no. It's OK. I'm here to see the nurse.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50It's about my bite.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Oh... Which one?

0:01:52 > 0:01:54All right. Save it for the nurse.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Why didn't you answer my calls last night?

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Dead battery.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01What about the landline?

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Well, I must've been in the bath.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06I thought you had the hump with me. Why would I have the hump with you?

0:02:06 > 0:02:09I don't know. You're the one who rushed off yesterday - you tell me.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Look, erm,

0:02:11 > 0:02:13I'll try and see you at the end of surgery, all right?

0:02:18 > 0:02:19Nice to see you again, Adam.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Howard. Howard Bellamy.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Of course. Hello.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26I'm the practice manager here.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28I expect Emma's told you all about me.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31No.

0:02:31 > 0:02:32But it's OK.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34It's probably a good thing

0:02:34 > 0:02:36when people don't talk about their boss, right?

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Erm, Adam Grundy.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42Nice to meet you again.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45Any sickness or dizziness?

0:02:45 > 0:02:47No.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51No swelling. That's good.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53I've always had thin ankles.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55So, what is it, then? What's wrong with her?

0:02:55 > 0:02:56That's perfect.

0:02:56 > 0:02:57You can get up now.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Everything seems to be normal.

0:03:02 > 0:03:03Seems? What's that supposed to mean?

0:03:03 > 0:03:06I can't find anything wrong with your mum,

0:03:06 > 0:03:07and the baby's a little wriggler,

0:03:07 > 0:03:09so he or she seems to be doing fine,

0:03:09 > 0:03:12but I'd like you to see the nurse for a blood test.

0:03:12 > 0:03:13What for?

0:03:13 > 0:03:14You might be a little anaemic,

0:03:14 > 0:03:16bit it's nothing to worry about.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17What harm can that do the baby?

0:03:17 > 0:03:19It's actually more about the draining effect

0:03:19 > 0:03:21it can have on your mother,

0:03:21 > 0:03:23but being eight months pregnant at your mum's age,

0:03:23 > 0:03:26it's understandable she's a little tired.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29"That age" being a very youthful 50, might I add.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32So, can you tell her she needs to stop working?

0:03:32 > 0:03:33What do you do?

0:03:33 > 0:03:36I'm a hairdresser, and I'm not giving it up.

0:03:36 > 0:03:37You're eight months pregnant.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39It's the only income I have.

0:03:39 > 0:03:40And it's not as if I'm rushed off my feet.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42It's irresponsible.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Well, your hair could do with a few tonals.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46I can't believe you're drumming up work.

0:03:46 > 0:03:47Mate's rates.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50I'm slack this afternoon, so if you're passing...

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Thank you, Doctor.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Bye. Bye.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04So, you and Emma are a couple?

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Is there anyone here that doesn't know about us?

0:04:06 > 0:04:08No. We're a nosey lot.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10So, have you got any idea what bit you?

0:04:10 > 0:04:11I didn't see it.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13It must have got up my shorts.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14It hurts like hell.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Any other reaction...?

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Difficulty swallowing? Or feeling sick?

0:04:18 > 0:04:20No.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Well, it looks like a horsefly bite to me.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25And I think it's infected. That's why it's so inflamed.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28You didn't want Emma to take a look at it?

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Well, it's hardly sexy.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32You know, you ought to count your lucky stars

0:04:32 > 0:04:33it didn't bite any higher.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36I'll be fine, as long as we don't have to amputate.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42THUNDER RUMBLES

0:04:42 > 0:04:44I hate rushing my lunch.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46If you closed the shop, you wouldn't have to.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Don't start that again.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51I've registered at a local mother and toddlers group.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Already?

0:04:53 > 0:04:54The good ones have a waiting list.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55But I might not want to go.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57You won't have to.

0:04:57 > 0:04:58It'll be me.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01Yeah, course it will.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03You'll have done your bit.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Mother, when are you going to stop wearing those stupid shoes?

0:05:08 > 0:05:11I wore heels with you and your brother.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13You were a lot younger then.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15Would you stop having little digs.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17You're eight months pregnant - wear flatties.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19What does it matter what you look like?

0:05:19 > 0:05:21It matters to me.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24I know in your eyes I might be past it,

0:05:24 > 0:05:25but I still like to look nice.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27And when I agreed to have this baby,

0:05:27 > 0:05:30it didn't give you a right to tell me what to do, or wear.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32I know that,

0:05:32 > 0:05:34and I know I nag,

0:05:34 > 0:05:36but I worry.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39And if I have to keep on at you to be sensible, then I will.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42It's only until after the baby's born.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44And then you won't give me a second thought.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Now who's picking holes?

0:05:46 > 0:05:48You're like your dad - controlling.

0:05:48 > 0:05:49Not Dad again.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Oh, no, mustn't talk about him, must we?

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Don't be like this, Mum.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Me and Steve, we'll always,

0:05:56 > 0:05:59always be grateful to you for doing this.

0:05:59 > 0:06:00You know that.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Shall I get your slippers?

0:06:05 > 0:06:07SHE SIGHS

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Has he gone?

0:06:12 > 0:06:13Who?

0:06:13 > 0:06:15You know exactly who I mean.

0:06:15 > 0:06:16He's gone to the loo.

0:06:16 > 0:06:17Said I had cold hands.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19I'll tell you what, you've got a good one there.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21He's really lovely.

0:06:21 > 0:06:22Charmed you too, has he?

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Just a bit. And why not? He's a lovely bloke.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Yes, well, he'd be the first to agree with you.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29What? Don't look at me like that!

0:06:30 > 0:06:32He's just so...

0:06:32 > 0:06:33so... Nice?

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Yes, that's it! Nice.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Mr Nice Guy.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39He's always saying, "Oh, why don't you do this?"

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Or, "Why don't we do that?"

0:06:41 > 0:06:44It's all said with the same condescending smile

0:06:44 > 0:06:46and incessant cheerful banter.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Wow...

0:06:48 > 0:06:49Somebody needs to take a chill pill.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Oh, no-no, he wouldn't approve of pills.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Uh-uh. The body is a temple.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Well, you've got to admit,

0:06:56 > 0:06:57it is a pretty impressive one.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Should be - he spends most of his life

0:06:59 > 0:07:01prancing around in front of the mirror.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03So, what, you're finishing with him?

0:07:03 > 0:07:05No, why?

0:07:05 > 0:07:06But...

0:07:06 > 0:07:07But like you said,

0:07:07 > 0:07:08he's a nice guy.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10See you later.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Flexibility is the obvious benefit,

0:07:14 > 0:07:16but there are so many other beneficial factors.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Hypertension, for example.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22A study showed that after three months of practising the Savasana,

0:07:22 > 0:07:24it decreased blood pressure.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26What is the Savasana?

0:07:26 > 0:07:27The corpse pose.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30So, pretending to be dead

0:07:30 > 0:07:32can make you feel better?

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Surely that defeats the aim of the whole exercise?

0:07:35 > 0:07:38Well, admittedly it could use a better name.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41And who would want to put their feet behind their head?

0:07:41 > 0:07:43It is very unhygienic.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46No, I will stick with walking, thank you.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51It's about time you had a charm failure.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Oh, you know, just softening her up for next time.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Well, I take it you're finished?

0:07:55 > 0:07:56For now. Good.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Where do you want to go for lunch?

0:07:58 > 0:07:59How are your bites? Massive.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01But you still haven't answered my question.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04I'm only going to lunch with you because I need to eat.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07And I'm only inviting you because I've left my wallet at home

0:08:07 > 0:08:08and can't afford to pay.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10SHE GIGGLES

0:08:17 > 0:08:19KNOCK ON DOOR Yeah?

0:08:19 > 0:08:21I'm just nipping out for lunch.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23You all right?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25It's as dark as a tomb in here.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27There's a much bigger light outside, you know?

0:08:27 > 0:08:29I think I'd rather stay inside.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31They forecast rain.

0:08:31 > 0:08:32Right.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36I hope you're not too put out by Karen's return.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38No, I'm glad she's back.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41It's a bit odd being on my own in that house.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Well, being on your own can make you think too much.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45That's not healthy.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Well, there's no danger of thinking too much with Karen around.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Sounds perfect.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Hiya!

0:09:01 > 0:09:02Took me up on my offer, I see.

0:09:02 > 0:09:03How could I refuse?

0:09:03 > 0:09:05A wash and a trim, please, if you can fit me in.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07No problem. You in a rush?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09No, half day.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11In that case, sit yourself down over here,

0:09:11 > 0:09:13while I go and pop the kettle on.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Now, if you're busy, I can always come back another time.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Oh, no, Mrs Bateman don't mind.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Besides, I said I'd do your hair, and I want to.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22You're a VIP.

0:09:22 > 0:09:23Isn't she, babe?

0:09:23 > 0:09:26All right, Mrs Bateman. I'll be with you in a mo.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33I thought I'd packed an apple in my lunch box.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Another senior moment.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Well, at least it wasn't the soap.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39I wouldn't mind, but it's one of many.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41The other day I mislaid my keys.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Well, I spent an hour looking for my jacket

0:09:43 > 0:09:45until I saw it in my purse.

0:09:45 > 0:09:46Your jacket?

0:09:46 > 0:09:48There you go, you see?

0:09:48 > 0:09:50I mean my dry-cleaning ticket.

0:09:51 > 0:09:52We're getting old.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54I don't like it, Emma.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58Yes, but it doesn't mean we can't have some fun while we do it.

0:09:58 > 0:09:59Enjoy your lunch.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Oh, I intend to.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Lovely thick hair you've got.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15It must be handy for your daughter having a mum who's a hairdresser.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18Oh, she doesn't get her hair done by me.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21She goes to a posh place near where she works.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23She's just started her maternity leave.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25She wants to keep an eye on me and the bump.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Oh! It must be nice being fussed over.

0:10:28 > 0:10:29It's a huge thing...

0:10:29 > 0:10:32what you're doing for her and her husband.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Life-changing.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37It must've been an incredibly hard decision to make.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Yeah, it was, but I wanted to do it.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43I haven't read Kara's file - can she not have babies?

0:10:43 > 0:10:46She'd miscarry in the late stages.

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Five babies she lost,

0:10:48 > 0:10:51and there was a funeral for every one of them.

0:10:54 > 0:10:55You know what?

0:10:55 > 0:10:57I think you should have lowlights,

0:10:57 > 0:10:58it would set your face off a treat.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Hmm...

0:11:00 > 0:11:02I think I'll stick to a trim.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04DIANE LAUGHS

0:11:04 > 0:11:07The doctor warned her off from falling pregnant again.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12So, after a lot of tears and what have you,

0:11:12 > 0:11:15she and Steve decided to look for a surrogate.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16That's when I stepped in.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Keeps it in the family.

0:11:18 > 0:11:19The IVF took first time?

0:11:19 > 0:11:21I know! I was shocked.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23I thought I'd be too old.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26You must've seen it in my notes, I'm perimenopausal,

0:11:26 > 0:11:28but a doc at the clinic said it didn't matter.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31It's the age of the donor they went on.

0:11:31 > 0:11:32And bingo!

0:11:32 > 0:11:33First time.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36PHONE RINGS Sorry excuse me.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Diane, can I use your loo?

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Oh, Mrs Bateman's in the customers' one.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Irritable bowel, poor love.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Use mine, upstairs, second on the left.

0:11:45 > 0:11:46Thanks, appreciate it.

0:12:00 > 0:12:01Niamh?

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Sorry, I got the wrong door.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09It's for the baby.

0:12:09 > 0:12:10It's beautiful.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13I only got the best.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Did Kara help you furnish it?

0:12:15 > 0:12:17No.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19She never comes in here.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21It was Lee's bedroom.

0:12:22 > 0:12:23My son.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Oh, right.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27He died when he was 12.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31A lorry lost its load on the bypass.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Lee was on his bike...

0:12:35 > 0:12:38He didn't stand a chance.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41I'm so sorry.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Kara kept telling me to clear his stuff out,

0:12:45 > 0:12:46but I couldn't.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51For 11 years, it stayed just the way he'd left it.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56And now it's ready for my baby.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01I can't give this baby to Kara. I can't.

0:13:02 > 0:13:03Diane.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07It's natural that you've formed a bond with the baby.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10You're carrying it, and you're going to be its grandmother.

0:13:10 > 0:13:11It's a boy.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14And I don't want to be its grandmother.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16I want to be his mum.

0:13:16 > 0:13:17But you're not.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20You're having the baby for your daughter

0:13:20 > 0:13:22and son-in-law.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Have you spoken to Kara about this?

0:13:27 > 0:13:30I always wanted more kids,

0:13:30 > 0:13:32but my husband only wanted the two.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35I never intended...

0:13:35 > 0:13:38I was only doing it for them,

0:13:38 > 0:13:40but as time's gone on...

0:13:41 > 0:13:42..and it's grown inside me...

0:13:45 > 0:13:46..he's become mine.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50You need to speak to Kara as soon as possible.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53I will, when the time's right.

0:13:53 > 0:13:54You're already in your eighth month.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56We'll never get your hair done at this rate.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Come on, lady, let's be having you.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Oh, I'm stuffed.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05Oh, erm, Adam, this is one of my colleagues, Zara.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Hi. Hi.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Someone's punching above their weight.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Look, I've got some calls to make,

0:14:16 > 0:14:18so I'll catch you later.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20OK. I'll call you.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Oh, are you off?

0:14:22 > 0:14:23Finally.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Before you go, can you recommend any yoga classes

0:14:26 > 0:14:29cos I'd really like to give it a go? Or hot yoga?

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Bikram, hot yoga... Yeah.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35To be honest with you, I'm into anything that gets people into yoga

0:14:35 > 0:14:39and gets away from that image of draughty village halls.

0:14:39 > 0:14:40Bikram is a refinement, if you like,

0:14:40 > 0:14:42based on body temperature...

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Nurse Marquez, are you aware you should be over at the Campus?

0:14:47 > 0:14:50How could I charge him for a short back and sides?

0:14:50 > 0:14:53He only had about six strands of hair.

0:14:53 > 0:14:54Hi, Mum. You OK?

0:14:54 > 0:14:57Yeah! Thanks, love. Oh, hello again.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Steve and I have been having a chat.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01And we want you to move in with us.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03No way! I'm happy as I am.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Only until after the baby is born.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07What, and then you throw me out?

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Everything I say, you jump on.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Because you're always trying to tell me what to do,

0:15:11 > 0:15:13like I haven't got a mind of my own.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Kara, I'm busy. Now, just leave it, all right?

0:15:15 > 0:15:16Come back tomorrow.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20Look at you. You're tired. ..Will you tell her she's tired?

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Might be an idea to shut up shop early today.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27See? Your own doctor thinks you shouldn't be working.

0:15:27 > 0:15:28I'm only saying it because I care.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Oh, you care now,

0:15:30 > 0:15:33but before I was pregnant, I was lucky if I saw you once a month.

0:15:33 > 0:15:34Give us a break.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36I work full-time. And what about weekends?

0:15:36 > 0:15:39Oh, no, sorry. You spend that with your father and his dippy wife.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41You don't even know her.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43That's it. Defend her, like you always do.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45His wife's pregnant with their second child.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48It's all right for men. They can just start all over again.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50You are so bitter. Maybe I have a reason to be.

0:15:50 > 0:15:51Sorry.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57Is this her hormones? I think you should go and see how she is.

0:16:03 > 0:16:04I didn't know you'd...

0:16:08 > 0:16:09When did you do this?

0:16:11 > 0:16:12A couple of months ago.

0:16:15 > 0:16:16Kara?

0:16:16 > 0:16:17I'm sorry if I upset you.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20I didn't mean to. You know what I'm like.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23I'm keeping this baby.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Please... don't say things like that, Mum.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30I'm sorry,

0:16:30 > 0:16:32but it's best you know now.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35You don't know what you're saying.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37You're tired. You need some rest.

0:16:37 > 0:16:38You're not listening to me.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40I said I'm keeping it, and I mean it.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43You've been planning this the whole time.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45I didn't mean to do this.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47I wanted to have a child for you,

0:16:47 > 0:16:49I wanted you to be happy, but I...

0:16:49 > 0:16:51I'm your daughter...

0:16:52 > 0:16:54..and you want to take away my baby?

0:16:56 > 0:16:57No...

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Mum.

0:17:00 > 0:17:01No.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04INDISTINCT SHOUTING

0:17:11 > 0:17:12Hello?

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Excuse me.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Sorry. Sorry. You just dropped this.

0:17:24 > 0:17:25You don't understand, Kara.

0:17:25 > 0:17:26But why, Mum? Why?

0:17:26 > 0:17:29After everything I've been through. Please don't blame me...

0:17:29 > 0:17:32Sorry, but Mrs Bateman is... Tell her that she can't keep my baby.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34I'm sorry, but I can't get involved.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Do you have something to do with this? Of course not.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Stop trying to find someone to blame.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41I'm the one who made this decision.

0:17:41 > 0:17:42Me.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43Your pathetic mother.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46Oh, yeah. You said it.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48I'm going to go and tell Steve.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50And we'll both be back later.

0:17:53 > 0:17:54Are you OK?

0:18:00 > 0:18:02Oh, I was about to bring this to you.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Oh, thank you. That's very kind.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06I sneaked a sugar into it.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10It'll be amphetamines if you're not smiling by tomorrow.

0:18:10 > 0:18:11Do you believe in the spirit world?

0:18:11 > 0:18:14No. I've never been religious.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17I think we all run on electricity and hormones, not a soul or...

0:18:17 > 0:18:18That's not what I meant.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23You getting all spiritual on me, Heston? No.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Well, be careful. If Mrs Tembe catches you in that mood,

0:18:26 > 0:18:28she'll be prescribing Sunday service.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32And who would want to be taken away from a weekend at home?

0:18:36 > 0:18:38Diane?

0:18:38 > 0:18:39Are you OK?

0:18:45 > 0:18:46I'm bleeding.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51INAUDIBLE

0:18:53 > 0:18:55KNOCK ON DOOR

0:18:59 > 0:19:00Why am I still bleeding?

0:19:01 > 0:19:04You're here now, they're monitoring you and the baby,

0:19:04 > 0:19:05so try not to worry.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10I'm scared.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12The baby can pick up on how you feel,

0:19:12 > 0:19:14so try and send him big, powerful, positive messages.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20If you hadn't have been there at the shop,

0:19:20 > 0:19:22I'd have panicked.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24You think I don't?

0:19:24 > 0:19:25The trick is not to show it.

0:19:29 > 0:19:30You must think I'm awful,

0:19:30 > 0:19:32doing this to my daughter.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34It's not my place to judge.

0:19:40 > 0:19:41I'm calling him David.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46It was Lee's middle name.

0:19:46 > 0:19:47Diane...

0:19:47 > 0:19:51you and your body are going through a lot.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53You don't have to make any decisions now.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Why don't you give it some more thought,

0:19:55 > 0:19:57before you decide what you want to do?

0:19:57 > 0:19:59I've had eight months to think about it.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01There's no doubt in my mind.

0:20:01 > 0:20:02I'm never giving up this baby.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07The happiest times of my life was when they were little.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09You can never replace your son.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11I know.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14And I wouldn't want to.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Have you thought about what this could do to your daughter?

0:20:19 > 0:20:21I know what it'll do.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23It'll break her heart.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25And I wish I could...

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Next of kin. The hospital called her.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Mum.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34I KNEW you weren't well.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37I've had a word with the doctor.

0:20:37 > 0:20:41He said the baby will be fine, as long as you take it easy.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43And will I be fine?

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Come on, Mum.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Stop feeling sorry for yourself.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53We've both been under a lot of strain,

0:20:53 > 0:20:56and we both said things earlier that we didn't mean.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58I've had a chat with Steve,

0:20:58 > 0:21:02and we'd like to pay for you to go on holiday somewhere nice

0:21:02 > 0:21:03once the baby's born.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06Have a proper break, somewhere hot - you'd like that, wouldn't you?

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Stop treating me like a child.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10I meant every word I said.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12You haven't even thought this through.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14You're too old to look after a baby.

0:21:14 > 0:21:15I'm fit and healthy,

0:21:15 > 0:21:18and there's nothing you can say that'll change my mind.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Your mum needs to rest.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22It's MY baby.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24I'm sorry, love...

0:21:24 > 0:21:27but there wouldn't be a baby if it wasn't for me.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28I'm the one giving it life.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31You know you won't be allowed to keep him.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34Biologically, he's mine and Steve's.

0:21:34 > 0:21:35We'll take you to court.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37They'll take him away from you.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Do you really want to go through all of that?

0:21:39 > 0:21:41You need to talk about this another time.

0:21:52 > 0:21:53I'll do what I have to do.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59David is my baby.

0:22:15 > 0:22:16Why?

0:22:22 > 0:22:23I feel...

0:22:23 > 0:22:26like I felt when I had the miscarriages.

0:22:28 > 0:22:29It's like...

0:22:30 > 0:22:33I knew it was happening,

0:22:33 > 0:22:35but I couldn't stop it.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Why is she doing this to me?

0:22:41 > 0:22:45I'm sure she didn't set out to hurt you.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49It just that her own feelings for the baby have taken over.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50It's selfish.

0:22:53 > 0:22:54She'll never be allowed to keep him.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00The woman who gives birth is always treated as the legal mother,

0:23:00 > 0:23:03even if she's not genetically related.

0:23:05 > 0:23:06No.

0:23:08 > 0:23:09That can't be right.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Why don't you give your mother some time?

0:23:12 > 0:23:14She might change her mind,

0:23:14 > 0:23:16or you might be able to find some compromise.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20She's got no right to keep him.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25He's mine.

0:23:30 > 0:23:31Mum?

0:23:33 > 0:23:34Mum...

0:23:36 > 0:23:38Please don't keep my baby.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42You can find another surrogate.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45But I'll never be able to have another baby.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48If you go through with this...

0:23:50 > 0:23:54..I will hate you for the rest of my life.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00I'll have David to love.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03And he'll love me back in a way you never have.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09I'll tell the court you're round the bend.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12How it took you years to get over Lee's death.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15MONITOR BEEPS The only way you coped was by popping pills

0:24:15 > 0:24:18and drinking a bottle of wine a night.

0:24:18 > 0:24:19And you still go on about him.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23Kara, you need to go now. OK? You're stressing out your mother.

0:24:23 > 0:24:24Your precious Lee. You smothered him.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27If he was still alive today, he'd have left home years ago.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30SHE SCREAMS I will fight you, Mother.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32I will fight you every step of the way.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35And I'll have Dad by my side,

0:24:35 > 0:24:36like he's always been.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Out. Now. I'm losing him.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41It's my punishment for wanting to keep him.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43You're in the right place.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45OK? And you've done this before.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46You're good at it.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48DIANE SCREAMS Hang in there, all right?

0:24:48 > 0:24:50I can't lose him. I know.

0:25:07 > 0:25:08Get a grip, man.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53That's good. So, just...

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Look over there. Straight out. Look straight out.

0:25:56 > 0:25:57That's good.

0:25:59 > 0:26:00Hi.

0:26:01 > 0:26:02Phew... Hot yoga.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06I had two very eager recruits,

0:26:06 > 0:26:08so I hope you don't mind, if we...

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Emma?

0:26:10 > 0:26:11Em? What?

0:26:11 > 0:26:13I'm sorry. I didn't think you'd mind.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16Me... No, I don't mind. Why should I mind?

0:26:16 > 0:26:18Oh, I knew you wouldn't.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Did you now?

0:26:20 > 0:26:22You know what?

0:26:22 > 0:26:24Actually, I do mind. But you said...

0:26:24 > 0:26:25Yeah, well, forget what I said.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29I'm sorry!

0:26:30 > 0:26:32Oh, go on, then.

0:26:35 > 0:26:36OK.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Fantastic. Let's pick it up.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40Feet together,

0:26:40 > 0:26:42relax those shoulders...

0:26:43 > 0:26:45..and arms forward.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Come on, Em. Get your kit off and join in.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52The heat in here makes your muscles dead supple.

0:26:52 > 0:26:53That's great control, Karen.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55OK. Now, both down into downward dog.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Because you're not listening to me, Mrs Tembe.

0:27:10 > 0:27:11I don't stand a chance.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14Throwing me out of house and home, at my age.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16It's the doctors as well, Alice.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19I know what they're trying to do. Don't you worry!
