Coffee Shop
Cheryl and Pam are at a table.

CHERYL: You think I'm crazy, don't you?
PAM: No...
CHERYL: Well, come on, out with it, we've been friends long enough. Been through menopause together for heaven's sake!()
PAM: Look, I know you're going to love the baby whatever happens, but...
CHERYL: I've got a family to think of, I know that, Pam. But if I have decided to accept this child come what may, nothing that the tests reveal will make me change my mind.
PAM: ...but if there are complications, and it does need lifetime care...
CHERYL: But there's been no indication that there's anything wrong. I am perfectly healthy! The only reason to have the tests is because I'm a little older than your average Mum.
PAM: If it feels right, you've made the right decision.

Gaby comes over to join them and Cheryl decides "it's time to go public"

CHERYL: I'm pregnant.
GABY: Wooaaah! Well, I can't say I'm not surprised, I'm surprised! Congratulations! Well, when's it due, is it a race?!

They start excitedly talking about going to ante- natal classes together. Pam still looks a bit worried.

Lou is trying to reassure the family that there is only a one in fifty chance of the baby not being healthy. Brett isn't so sure, saying it's best to be prepared.

LOU: Brett, there's no buts. Cheryl's made up her mind and I think we should abide by that.
DANNI: Yeah, but it affects us too...
CHERYL: Of course it does, darling, I know that.
BRETT: Look, mum...we know how much you want this baby. And everything will be fine, you're see.
LOU: Course it will. Now, if Cheryl says it's going to be a normal pregnancy, then that's what we're going to have.

Cheryl sends Danni and Brett off to get ready for school.

CHERYL:(to Lou) This kid is going to have the best dad in the whole world!
LOU: The best parents in the whole world! Hey, do you think it'll want us to get married
CHERYL: Um...no(!)

Cody can't wait - it'll be good knowledge for her medical career too!

Pam comes in and refers to herself as Gaby's "birthing support person". Gaby stutters.

CODY: Good question.

LOU: Thanks, mate. Who would have thought it, eh?
DOUG: I know. Rather you than me, all those sleepless nights, stinking nappies...the coup, the gripe...measles...all those pocket money handouts...

MICHAEL: I'm not exactly sure yet...well, I wanted to apologise for being so negative all the time.
CODY: Oh.
MICHAEL: And...why won't you go out with me?
CODY: I told you. I'm sick and tired of hearing about how awful everything is. It brings me down too.

LOU:(impressed) No, mate. You're not.
