Mornin'!
I got the full eight hours last night,
makes all the difference, don't it?
I woke up feeling all excited about a new baby in the family.
And I know I shouldn't be celebrating that,
not when poor Bailey's just lost her mum, but...
..here you are,
about to become a dad.
Right...
Breakfast - you fancy the full works?
You all right? You didn't sleep very well last night.
No. I didn't keep you up, did I?
No, it's all right.
I'll take it in to her.
Martin.
Come here.
What's that for?
Well, can't a wife kiss her husband
for being gorgeous and for being great at selling fruit and veg?
And...for being a good dad.
Arthur drew it for you.
Look, that's you and that's an apple.
Or it might be the other way round, I don't really know.
Got ourselves a right little artist, haven't we?
See you later.See you later.
Oh, Mum. Come here.
Jean, you look like you need to go back to bed.
I'm all right.
Here, let's do this.
Your temperature's the same as yesterday.
It ain't going down. Oh, well, we need to sort the kids.
Mum, look at you.
Me and Stace...
Me and Nan will manage the kids.
Go back to bed. Go on.
I don't know how much help you're expecting to get from Nan
because she's gone out with Fat Elvis.
Something about a van load of half-price burkinis.
The twins ain't very well, so I'm keeping them
off school for the day, but they need some fresh air -
so Arthur could come to the playground with us.
Like I said, I can manage.
Stacey...
DISTANT: Mum! Ernie's been sick!
Yeah, all right. Coming, darlin'!
Oh!
You hungry?
I can do you a bit of breakfast.
I'll get something later.
It's no trouble, what do you fancy?
Couple of eggs? Nice bit of bacon?
Is it nice?
Being back in your old room?
I put out all your old things out, you know?
Make you feel at home.
I'm not really into this stuff any more.
Oh, OK.
Well, we can have a lookout for some new things for you.
Maybe me and you can go shopping together sometime?
Sure, erm...
..not today, though.
Yeah?
No.
No, not today.
Right.
If you're looking for Louise, she's not here.
And Phil?
He's out.
Is there a problem at the Arches?
When were you going to tell me?
What?
At the 12 week scan?
The 20 week scan?
Or were you just going to walk round the Square
with Louise in your matching maternity outfits
and hope I get the message?
She told you.
How far gone are you? Who gives you the right...
That night at The Arches, when we... Keep your voice down!
It's not yours.
Are you keeping it?
What business is it of yours?
Because if you are and it's mine...
..I'm going to have to tell Louise.
It's not yours.
But you tell Louise,
and Phil will make sure you never see the baby that is yours.
Everything all right?
Yeah, he was just dropping back Louise's charger.
I'll make sure she gets it.
I'd better get back.OK.
There's someone I need to speak to.
Right, I've taken the day off so you can put your feet up
and have a rest.
So go on, put your feet up.
OK.
This time next year, you'll be sat here, with a baby.
I know, I can't wait!
I feel so lucky.
Keanu is such a great boyfriend.
Yeah, well don't let him hear you say that, it'll go to his head.
I, erm...
I need to talk to you.
We're about to get some lunch, you can get something.
I thought we could go somewhere else.
Yeah, I'm up for that. Bex?Yeah.
Just you and me.
Sorry, Bex, it's just that I need to take Lou somewhere...
..alone.
O-oh!
Exciting.
Yeah, it's OK, I've got to do revision, anyway.
Is everything all right?
Yeah, yeah, course. It's...
..a surprise lunch.
I'm going to have to delete that video off Whit's phone -
can you imagine what would happen if that got out?
Knowing you, you'd probably get more Instagram
followers, or something.
I bet it looked good on you.
No. Meringues are for eating, not for wearing.
Now we ain't got to stress about exams and stuff,
you thought about dating?
I know things didn't really...
..go to plan with you and Brooke, and you got stood up that one time.
But there could be someone else out there.
Nah, it's too much hassle.
Oh, no, but it ain't got to be all full-on.
Be a bit like when you first start messaging someone
and it's all fun and flirty?
No, I don't see the point in endless messages.
I'd run out of things to say.
You've got loads to say.
Like what, chess?
I can't imagine anyone actually being interested in talking to me.
It's not like when I talk to you, is it?
Cos you get me.
Anyway, you're much better than me at all that text-flirting stuff.
My head, it's...
..just not in the right place, Tiff.
You all right?
Martin.
Look, right, what you heard me saying yesterday...
I was just upset about not having Arthur on my birthday.
You are a brilliant dad.
Yeah, go on, then.
Go on, you walk off.
Go on, cos that's your way, innit?
Oi.Hey.
You ready to up your game?
What?
I've got a new stall, haven't I? Better watch your back, Kush!
"Upcycled clothing?" You mean second-hand clothing?
No, I'm selling vintage clothing and some of my own creations.
Oh! Good for you, Whit.
Kat!
You reckon my new stall will work, don't you?Yeah!
The hipsters are going to love it.
I'm taking the boys out to the playground if you want to join us.
Let the queen of retail cover you, get a bit of practice in?
Well, I'd love to, if that's all right with you?Yes, yes, why not?
I could do with a break.
I'll see you later!Yeah, see you.
PHONE:Hi, it's Louise, please leave a message.
Lou, I thought you might like lunch with us.
Give us a call when you get this.
I'm just going to the minute mart.
I could murder some piccalilli.
Won't be long.
Table for one, then.
Sorry it's just sandwiches.
Don't be daft, babe.
I didn't even expect you to have time for lunch today.
I just wanted to see you.
Louise, I...
I need to talk to you about...
..something.
It's important.
What is it?
Keanu?
You know how I feel about you, right?
Yeah, course.
And I'm sorry we're just in the park and it's just sandwiches.
And I know none of this is ideal.
Ideal for what?
But you have to remember...
..no matter what...
..I love you.
Keanu!
What do you want?
Bobby?
I've made you some lunch.
Nothing fancy, just...
Bobby?
Bobby?!
I'll leave it outside.
Karen, please.
I really need to talk to him.
About what?
He's not answering his phone.
I just need to talk to him before he does any damage.Damage?
What, is he in trouble?
No, no.
He's got the wrong end of the stick about something.
About what?
It's personal.
Look, I've told Phil I'll be long.
And that's my problem, is it?
I'm pregnant.
He thinks it's his.
And why would he think that, then, Sharon?
Why?
You said it was over.
It was once.
No!
It was a mistake.
But it's not his, Karen! I swear!
Phil is going to kill him.
What have you done?!
All he's been talking about is looking forward to him,
Louise, and the baby starting a new life!
And you...
You had to go and ruin it, didn't you?!
You stupid, selfish cow!
It wasn't like that!
I love Phil.
Me and Keanu were over.
We are over.
The sandwiches are so lovely.
And this is all so thoughtful.
You're so lovely.
And I can't wait to see our baby on that scan tomorrow.
But...
Didn't you say you had something to say to me?
Look...
..I know we didn't get off to a good start.
But I want you to know that I can't imagine my life without you now.
There's something I need to say.
I want this - us - to be right.
And for us to do things properly, that means we...
Oh, my God, yes!
Yes, I'll marry you!
That is what you meant, right?
Come on, breath of fresh air will do you good.
Nan, can you keep Arthur away from Mum, please?
I think she's still out with Fat Elvis.
I'm only trying to help, Stace.
Do you know what, actually?
I suppose you could take Arthur to the park with you
cos Mum's not feeling well and he's driving me mad.
But if you can't, then...
Course, it's fine.
All right, thanks.
I dunno how you do it.Eh?
Well, working Mum with all them kids.
And two of them being...
Not normal, as well.
Not normal?
Sorry - I didn't mean... They've got learning difficulties.
Right, yeah, sorry.
What did you bring them two up for?
The thing is, we haven't told anyone,
not that there's actually anything to tell - but Ollie's been a bit...
The doctors think he might be autistic.
Well, good luck if he is, cos you got your work cut out.
It's exhausting.
That, on top of your other kids giving you stress.
Well, like I said, they're not even sure there's anything wrong.
It's probably just a phase, isn't it?
I mean, all kids have them, don't they?
Yeah, with our boys, we just knew.
You know, mums just do.
Right, well, thanks.
You've been very helpful.
Linda!
Minute Mart were out of piccalilli.
Typical.
Phil?
Phil...
We're engaged.
Wow!
Congratulations, that's lovely.
I can't believe it!
I want to get changed, so we can go out and celebrate later!
And we have to start talking about getting a ring!
Shouldn't you have asked my permission?
I...
Sorry. I should have thought.
Yeah, you should.
But you're doing right by my daughter,
so you're doing right by me. You're a good man.
Welcome to the family.
And talking of family...
Me and Sharon have got a bit of good news as well, haven't we, Sharon?
Well, tell him, then.
I'm pregnant.
Wow, that's...
That's great.
Congratulations.Thanks.
Right, let's all get down the club, eh?
Let's have a double celebration!
Not even a text.
How long does it take to reply to a text? Seconds.
Still not heard from Sharon, then, no?
Phil can tell you she's expecting, but there I am,
stood right in front of her, and nothing.
I thought she was supposed to be my best mate.
Maybe she don't want to say anything till she's had the tests,
cos of her age.
I don't blame 'em for being worried.
Cos the whole thing's a lottery, ain't it?
Yeah, well, we shouldn't jump to any conclusions.No.
No. But...
..you know, we're sitting there with our doubts.
It's going to take a couple of months with the NHS,
so I think we should take him for a private assessment.
I had a little look online.
It's going to cost us probably about three bags.
Three grand?!
Well, it's for our boy, innit? So...
Yeah, but there's no point panicking, is there?
I mean, it's not as if he's got a life threatening-illness, is it?
I just think we could do with some advice from people, you know,
that have maybe been through it, who know how the system works...
We don't need any advice.
We can shell out three thousand, but for what?
An assessment that we'd get in a month or two on the NHS, anyway?
I mean, what difference will it make to Ollie?
Hey.
Hey, you all right?
Hey!
I thought it was just going to be the four of you.
Yeah, Stacey needed a hand.
This is probably not a good idea, is it?
I've got my hands full, anyway.
Why don't we meet for a drink later?
Sorry.Yeah, yeah.
Bye, mate!
Push me, daddy!
Oh, look at that, eh?
A smiling teenager, should we call a doctor?
You all right?Yep!
We're getting a couple coffees, do you want anything?
Nah, I'm all right, thanks.
But you could help me with something, if you've got a minute?
Course.
What do you reckon is the best way to move on?
What, you mean, like, get over someone? Yeah.
Just forget they ever existed?
Oh, well darling, the best way to do that is just find someone else.
And as fast as you can, and all. Oi, that's my niece!
I'm only telling her the truth, ain't I?
Karen!
My sweet princess, what can I get you?
I was after Linda.
She's out, want me to pass on a message?
She came to see me earlier - said she wanted to talk about your Ollie,
but I had other stuff on my mind.
She said the doctor thinks he might be autistic.
Yeah. Well...
..they're not sure yet, but...
Karen, when did you first, you know,
try and find out about your two boys?
I knew early on there were different.
I was terrified of going to the doctors, of having them
confirming it in black and white.
But once I knew what I was dealing with, it was actually a relief.
You need to get him a proper assessment -
you need to get an EHC plan.
It's a piece of paper saying he needs extra support and once you've
got that, you give it to the school and they can give you extra help.
Yeah, he starts in September.
The waiting lists are a nightmare, but as long as you get him
assessed before then, you'll be fine.
Look, I ain't going to pretend it's going to be easy,
but it ain't easy with any of your kids, is it?
You know, you'd die for every last one of 'em.
What is it they say?
They say, "Don't ever have kids, they'll break your heart."
But no-one ever listens.
Look, if ever you two need to talk, you know where I am.
Thank you, Karen.
I appreciate it.
And tell Linda I'm really sorry about earlier.
Don't be silly.
All right.See you later, babe.
Finally got Hope off to sleep.
I didn't know you was coming home for lunch.
Yeah, I just...
..needed a break from having to look at Kush all day long.
Why, what's he done now?
He thinks he can say what he wants
and then pretend like he didn't mean it.
Where's Arthur, then?
Well, I needed a bit of quiet in the house for Mum.
I went to get her some soup.
So, Kat's taken him to the playground with the boys.
Brilliant, Stace. No, he's fine, Martin.
It's half an hour.
My mum needs me.
Yeah, fair enough.
All right, Whit?
Kush? No, no.
Last time I seen him, he was on his stall. Why?
Right.
I knew we couldn't trust Kat.
Whitney is covering Kush's stall, says he's not answering
his phone and she's wondering if I know when he's going to be back
from his break with Kat and the boys!
There you are!
I came up earlier.
You didn't need to lock your door, you know?
How did you lock it, anyway?
I found an old lock in the tool box.
I just wanted some time on my own.
Sorry.
No, it's all right, it's your room.
Look, Bobby, you're bound to feel a bit...
..unsettled.
Things will feel better when your dad's home.
Has he called?
Well, I know he's busy...
He doesn't want me here, does he?
Course, he does!
Look, we all do.
He couldn't wait for you to come home.
So where is he, then?
He hates me.
I don't blame him.
Well, this is nice, isn't it?
Playing happy families, are we?
Can I have a word?
We ain't doing anything wrong...
Was this your idea all along -
worm your way round Stace so you could help your boyfriend again?
No, no, it wasn't! It's not her fault.
You've got this wrong, right?
I was just trying to help you and Jean out!
Wow. I can't believe you just brought Mum's cancer into it.
That is not what I meant.
I've been trying to talk to you all morning! Stace...
Talk to me, Kat? Or take advantage of your own family?
You know what? You two deserve each other.
I just want to be able to see my son.
No-one is stopping you from seeing him, Kush!
It's all the creeping around behind our backs
and the lying that we don't like.
See it's not fair, is it? On any of us.
Because you think that you can't trust me,
and then I end up thinking you don't want me around him.
It's not even fair on Kat, cos she gets caught in the middle.
So it's just best all round if we sort things properly.
What do you mean, properly?
I'm going to apply for a child arrangement order.
A what?
You'll hear from my solicitor.
He was so sneaky!
He kept pretending he was trying to tell me something important,
then kept saying sorry about the sandwiches -
he totally threw me off track!
It's really sweet.
A baby on the way and a wedding to plan.
Cheers.
Listen, I ain't checked this with Sharon yet,
but obviously, you'll be wanting to move in with us.
Phil, that's...
..very kind, but I can't.
I've got my lot to look after and my mum wouldn't want me to...
Listen, I ain't saying your family ain't important,
but I know Louise wants you with her.
And I want Louise to be happy.
Anyway, I could do with another man round the house -
I've had enough of the piccalilli and sardine brigade.
Thanks, Phil.
Thanks, Dad.
Whole family under one roof - that's how it should be.
It won't be too long till these two have us
pushing matching buggies round the Square.
You should call your mum, she should be here.
I've narrowed it down to those three.
They're gorgeous.
You're going to look amazing, Tiff!
Must be nice to have something to look forward to now exams are over.
I read this thing today, and erm,
it said that more gay couples meet online than straight couples.
I told you, I ain't interested in meeting someone.
Yeah, but that's cos you think online dating is hard work.
Yeah, cos it is!
I was the one sitting there like an idiot when I got stood up, remember?
I know that was bad.
But when you meet the right person...
..it all just...
..clicks.
Yeah, well, no-one's messaged me, anyway.
Well, when was the last time you checked?
Ages ago.
But that's what's exciting, Bern, innit?
Cos this phone, this brand-new phone of yours,
is a world of possibilities.
World of pain, more like.
All right?
I got your message, what's the occasion?
Tell her.
Me and Louise...
..we're engaged.
Oh!
That's great! Congratulations, to both of you.
I should get the next round in, shouldn't I?
What you having?
Orange and a water, please.
Do you want to give us a hand, yeah?
It all happened a bit suddenly.
But I know you like Louise, so I thought you'd be happy.
It's you having a baby with your soon to be mother-in-law
I've got a problem with!
How do you know...? What was you thinking?!
Keep your voice down. You told her? We don't want...
We don't want what?
Your husband realising his son-in-law's
having a baby with his wife?
It's not his baby.
I can't do this any more.
I'm telling Louise now.
He will kill you!
This is my baby.
If anyone's going to do anything, it's going to be me.
When this is finished, I'll read you a lovely little book.
All right?
Hello, my name's Mick Carter.
I'd like to book a private assessment for my son.
Could you call me back when you get this, please?
You've been up and down and in and out all evening.
You all right?
Hm?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Is this about Keanu moving in?
Cos I thought it'd make you happy, us all being under the same roof.
But if you're going to get the hump about it...
I haven't got the hump.
Course, it makes sense for him to move in.
It's going to be great -
we'll have two brand-new little Mitchells running round the place.
Phil...
There's something I need to tell you.
