♪ (Julie) Dave, you're not listening!

-Yes, I am.

-What was the last thing I said?

(Dave) 'Bout the baby.

(Julie) The whole book's about the baby.

-So, I was right.

-Oh!

All right, well, by the end of this month, the baby's length will be about 25 centimeters and will weigh just under a kilo.

(Dave) That's about the same size as the flathead I caught last weekend.

(Julie) Oh!

Do not compare our unborn baby to a bottom-feeding fish!

(Dave) Trying to get a visual reference.

(Julie) And your flathead was about half the size.

-No, it wasn't.

-Oh!

It was.

Any kicks?

(Julie) No, just flutters.

Don't worry, it'll happen.

Okay, changes for mums.

During the second trimester, sexual desire, or libido, may well increase, mm!

(downhearted music) -Dave.

-I'm sorry.

(Julie) Look, staring at it's not gonna change what's in it.

(Dave) Just can't help thinking how different this would have been for my mum, you know, going through it by herself.

When are you gonna tell the kids?

Soon.

(Rachel) I still cannot believe her name is Rachel!

And according to Rafter legend, wasn't it Dad that insisted on calling you that?

-It's just a coincidence.

-No, it is too freaky.

-This has to be connected, Dad.

-Oh, can I see?

Father unknown?

Well, how could she not know who made her pregnant?

(Ted) Carnal knowledge.

Sorry?

Look at the birth certificate.

How old was she?

-Uh, she--Yeah.

-Fifteen.

Under the age of consent.

Now, if the boyfriend was over 16, and she'd named him, he coulda been charged with an offense.

Even if it was consensual?

(Ted) That was the law!

-Oh, God.

-Come on!

What happened to the swinging '60s?

(Sammy) Yeah, free love and all that?

(Ted) Nothin' to do with the '60s.

It's still the law!

So you're saying she just kept her mouth shut?

(Julie) Yeah, probably kept quiet to protect him.

That'll be my guess.

(Rachel) Okay.

Now, there's an address here.

Uh, Rachel, just hang on.

(Rachel) And, now, we just zoom in.

Right, well, it looks like, um, that address is now part of a shopping strip.

(Sammy) But maybe someone remembers a neighbor, maybe?

Oh, come on, look, it was 40 years ago.

She probably just got married, changed her name.

Morning, all!

Need some milk.

What's goin' on?

(Julie) Oh, we're, uh, looking for your dad's mother.

Right, what?

No way, you're kidding me!

Look at the surname, it's Warne!

Ugh, are we Warnes?

(Dave) No, mate, we're Rafters, we'll always be Rafters.

There are 16 R. Warnes in New South Wales, nine in Queensland, eight in Victoria.

(Nathan) Mm, two in South Australia.

-Oh, check out WA.

-Mm.

-Hey, don't forget Canberra.

-Yeah, oh, and Tassie.

Everyone always forgets Tassie.

(keyboard clacking) Guess there's no harm in having a little bit of a hunt around.

Rafter was my dad's adoptive parents.

(Melissa) Yeah, and the name he grew up with, that's what counts.

(Carbo) But you don't get it, Mel, it's about blood!

-That's right!

-Yes, and we are all a product of our ancestors.

I, for example, have the blood of Greece flowing through my veins, Hercules and Zeus.

-Zeus?

-Yeah, and Dimitris Saravakos, and Nikos Anastopoulos, -and Mimis Domazos.

-These are footballers.

(Carbo) Footballing gods!

Look, Ben, he could be related to Shane Warne, cricket god.

(Ben) That would be awesome!

Or, you could be related Warney Warne, who ripped off your dad.

-What?

-Well, he could be.

No way!

Mate, family's like a tree, mate.

They all start from the same root.

-Carbo.

-Of a tree!

-Oh.

-And then they branch out.

Rachel, you haven't even met him.

(Rachel) Yeah, well, I wasn't gonna mention that a girl doesn't like to beg -for an invitation.

-Oh, no, actually, maybe not a good idea.

Mum has a bit of a thing about birthdays.

I said I can do it, I'm fine.

Your mum was showing me, um, all your trophies before.

You've won a lot!

The shrine.

If I'd had won a gong for best nose-picker, mum would have put it on display.

(Grace) Jake, don't be so gross!

Anyway, what's wrong with a mum being proud of her boy?

No, don't let her fool ya.

She's the real hero in this family, -raising two kids on her own.

-All right, enough of that.

Rachel doesn't wanna hear it.

(Jake) Mum was always there for us.

Rugby matches in the pourin' rain, Little Athletics.

(Alex) And havin' a child with special needs is no picnic.

Luckily, she had me as well.

I reckon I kept her sane.

He's messin' with ya.

I know, I know.

Well, my boys are my life.

I don't know how I'd cope without them.

Oh, soppy old thing, are ya?

(Sammy) Okay, but no canceling, not for work, not for a nuclear holocaust.

(Nathan) Deal.

(phone ringing) (Sammy) Oh, let me guess, Layla?

Yup.

Layla, hey.

No, sorry, I can't come in.

Because it's Saturday night, and I'm at home with my wife.

Ugh!

Okay, well, I'm sorry to hear that you value my contribution so little.

-Just go, Nathan.

-Hold on.

Better than losing your job.

No!

No, stuff her, she's out of line.

Well, go there, tell her that, and then come home quickly.

-You sure?

-Yeah.

Dinner tomorrow night sounds good, -just the two of us.

-Absolutely.

(rock music) What is so urgent?

(Layla) Look, I'm so sorry to interrupt your romantic night at home-- (Nathan) You speak to me like that again, Layla, -and I quit.

-No, Nathan!

(Nathan) Look, just tell me what the problem is because I haven't got all night.

Steve is cheating on me.

Again?

(Layla) Yeah.

And, you know, I-- you know I wouldn't mind if it were just some trashy groupie because we have a really open relationship, but this time it's different.

The same woman has answered his phone four times this week.

And tonight, she hung up on me!

I thought this was about work?

(Layla) It is!

It is work, Nathan, because he is our boss!

No, it's not, that's personal.

And, I'm sorry, but I'm not a counselor!

What you need to do is, you need to go home, you need to have a good night's rest, and I will see you on Monday morning.

(Layla) No, Nathan, Nathan!

No, look!

I just didn't know who else I could tell, okay?

And I'm really sorry to dump this on you, but you're the only friend that I've got right now.

And, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, I've got a present for you.
