Sonya comes in unexpectedly and Toadie greets her.
SONYA: I just thought that the two of us should have a bit of a chat...is Sindi out?
TOADIE: She decided to get a room at The Retreat. She felt it was best. But Hugo's going to stay here until the DNA results come in...if that's OK?
He looks uncertain.
SONYA: Yeah. Yeah. (A pause) I know I said I'd stay in Daylesford until then...but I just hated being away from you.
She hugs him tightly.
SONYA: You know, Andrea's come between us before and...I just don't want to let that happy again.
Toadie is very relieved.
TOADIE: Agreed.
SONYA: So when do you get the results back?
TOADIE: Should be pretty soon.
SONYA: If he *is* yours...we'll deal with it, OK? Together.
TOADIE: Thank you.
SONYA: Yeah. I'm not going to pretend like it's going to be easy, but we're a team. And we need to be united in this, whatever happens.
Toadie nods gratefully.
SONYA: I also...I also want us to continue with IVF.
TOADIE:(surprised) Are you sure?
SONYA:(firmly) Yeah. I want a baby! And I'm supposed to start my hormone injections today. I don't want to waste a cycle. Who knows how long it's going to take us, OK? Let's...let's not wait.
TOADIE:(conflicted) OK, then.
SONYA: OK.
TOADIE: Yeah, if this is what you want.
SONYA: Yes!
She hugs him. Toadie doesn't look so sure though.

Bea tells Patrick/Finn that she didn't get a wedding dress and wants Elly to come with her to help her choose one.
BEA: I didn't know where to start or what to do. I really want my sister there.
PATRICK/FINN: I can understand that. I know it's been hard on you, keeping things from your family.
BEA: Yeah, and I don't want to do it anymore. I want to tell Elly about our engagement.
PATRICK/FINN: You know what, let's scrap the idea of a wedding dress.
BEA: What do you mean?
PATRICK/FINN: Well, we both want a life together. So let's stop wasting time and let's elope!
BEA: But...my family and my friends...
PATRICK/FINN: Why don't we ask Elly to be a witness?
BEA: Really?
PATRICK/FINN: Yeah. We could say we're having a picnic or something and when she arrives we'll spring it on her that we're getting married! I've already found the perfect church for us. It's in Maryborough. It's a little bit of a drive, but it is gorgeous.
BEA: What about Karl and Susan?
PATRICK/FINN: We'll throw a party after the ceremony, announce our news then. You can invite anyone you like. Wait...
(He gets a ring out of his pocket)
BEA: Oh, it's beautiful!
PATRICK/FINN: And I have been doing my exercises...
He stands up.
PATRICK/FINN: So, I will be putting this on your finger after you've walked down the aisle in front of your sister. What do you say?
BEA: I say yes! That's everything I've ever wanted.
No.28 (Garden)
Susan, Karl, Sonya and Toadie are having a cup of tea together. They talk about the hormone injections and Toadie still looks a bit unsure.
Just then Toadie's phone pings.
TOADIE: It's David. He's got the DNA results.
"Patrick"'s apartment
PATRICK/FINN: When we first met, I liked you. But I wasn't sure you and I had a future.
BEA: Okay...
PATRICK/FINN: I had a pretty intense relationship a while back. She hurt me. A lot. I didn't think I'd trust anyone again.
BEA: Why have you never mentioned her before?
PATRICK/FINN: Because I don't really like talking about it. And also...sometimes you remind me of her. I know that doesn't sound great, but I just needed you to know.
BEA: Well, who is she?
PATRICK/FINN: It doesn't matter. It was such a long time ago and she doesn't mean anything to me anymore. The longer I spend with you and the closer we get, the more and more I fall in love with you.
BEA: Well...thank you for teling me.
They kiss.
Over Bea's shoulder, Finn's face is somewhat murderous.
No.30
David is explaining that the DNA test is 99.9% conclusive and it would be highly unikely that it could be wrong.
DAVID: Have you talked through both outcomes and what that means for your family?
TOADIE: Pretty much...
SONYA: In a way, yeah...
DAVID: If you're having trouble agreeing, I'd suggest some counselling for you both.
TOADIE: We're old hands at that.
DAVID: So you know how beneficial it can be.
SONYA: Can we...just...get this over and done with, David? I really can't stand it any longer.
David holds out the envelope containing the result.
TOADIE: Could you open it and tell us, please?
David opens the envelope, then unfolds the results and reads them.
DAVID: The DNA is a familial match. Toadie, you are the father of this baby.
Toadie and Sonya take this in. On cue, little Hugo babbles "Da da!"
