Run Rabbit Run

Aw, she's still asleep.

Oh, well, I'll just have to eat all those pancakes myself then.

Tricked you!

Happy birthday, Bunny.

Happy birthday. Happy birthday.

Mum?

- Mum? - Hmm?

You're burning them.

Oh, Jesus.

Here you go. Ta-da!

Oh, okay. Here, put that on.

Looking forward to your party?

- Is Daddy coming? - Yeah.

- And Denise? - Mmm-hmm.

Toby, your dad, Denise, everyone.

Not everyone.

Not Grandpa.

I miss him.

Yeah, I miss him too, Bunny.

- Two dolphins, yes. - Yeah?

And the blue one I like the most,

'cause he can camouflage in the water, and he has a beanbag to himself.

Okay, well...

And has only a cushion and a beanbag.

Bye-bye, Mummy!

Bye, sweetheart.

How's work?

Oh, it's okay. It's work.

Ready.

Great.

Okay, I'm just gonna place the probe.

That's it.

Just looking for the sac

and the fetal pole, and...

That, Jordie, is a little heartbeat.

Oh. Yeah.

No. You better not be doing what I think you're doing.

Uh, Mia?

Is Joan coming?

What?

To my party, is Joan coming?

Uh, what makes you think that Joan might be there?

I miss her.

Isn't it a bit hard to miss somebody if you've never met them?

I miss people I've never met all the time.

Mummy, why's the door up?

I don't know.

Mum, look what I got!

Aren't you cute!

I know, I know, I know, I know.

You're so cute. I love you.

Uh, it's probably just escaped from someone's backyard.

But she was sitting here, waiting for me.

Um.

Is that from Daddy?

No. He's coming tonight, remember?

Who's it from?

It's for me.

- Another card about Grandpa? - Yeah.

I'm gonna call her "Rabbit."

They're here!

There's my birthday girl!

- Happy birthday, sweetheart! - Hi, Daddy!

- Ah, it's pouring a gale out there. - Come in, come in.

- Does he need something? - Oh, he's fine.

I just picked him up from his dad's. He didn't want to leave.

Where's Denise?

Um, she's coming straight from work. She'll be here soon.

I love you.

I'm gonna have to put posters up.

Or you could let her keep it.

How've you been coping?

Hmm, good.

Yeah?

Well, I saw all the boxes.

What?

The boxes in the garage.

- When I went to check on the kids. - Hmm.

I hope you'll tell me if you're ever... not good.

Dinner's ready!

Maybe we should just cut the cake.

I'm so sorry. She's... She's two minutes away.

I'm so sorry. I'm really, really sorry about this.

How are you guys? How's Denise?

Uh, yeah, good.

Good. Um...

Yeah.

We, uh...

Hmm?

- What? - We...

We... are trying for a baby.

I thought Mia was gonna be an only child,

and we agreed upon that.

You agreed.

Hmm.

- Hello? - We're in here.

- Hi! - Hello. Hello. Hello.

- Hi! - Hey.

What did I miss?

Well, apart from dinner, nothing. Just...

- Kids downstairs? - Yeah.

- Hey. - Pete was just telling me the good news.

Yeah, right. I'm thrilled, actually.

It'll be more work, but the pay is fantastic.

- And, frankly, I was done... - Oh, no, no. That...

That you guys are trying for a baby.

Oh!

Mia?

Mia? It's okay. I'm coming, honey.

- Mum! - Mia? You okay?

Toby hit me.

What? Are you all right?

- You... You don't hit! - Sarah!

Sweetheart, let's see. Here, let me see.

He's only three, Mia. He doesn't understand.

- You little shit. - Jesus, Sarah.

- Hey! Don't hit! - Sarah!

Sorry.

Is that a birthday cake I saw in the kitchen?

Why don't we go and have some cake?

Yeah. Yeah.

Come on, darling.

Sorry.

He is a little shit.

Yeah, piss off.

Yeah, go on, fuck off.

Go on.

Ow.

God.

What is that?

I made it.

Mia, you have fur all over you.

- Can you take this off, please? - Don't!

Oh, well...

Love you, Bunny.

This is Sandy McLennan from Warrendi Nursing Home.

Dr. Gregory, we'd like to meet with you to discuss your mother Joan's condition.

In person, if possible.

Can you please get in touch to arrange a time? Thank you.

Hi. Sorry.

- Sorry. - Uh, you're welcome to call ahead.

Yes.

Yeah, I was driving. Sorry.

- Um, what... Uh, where is she? - She went out to play. She's with Nowa.

Okay, um...

Fuck.

Where's Mia?

Um, she was just here.

Uh-huh?

Mia?

- Hey, Tubby, have you seen Mia? - No.

You know, you can always tell me if there's someone bullying you, Mia.

Is there someone bullying you?

Sure?

Why won't you tell me why you were so upset today, Bunny?

Sweetheart?

I miss her.

Who do you miss?

My mummy.

Oh.

Mia. I'm your mummy. You know that.

I'm right here.

Do you mean Denise?

Uh...

All right, Mia. Hop out. Gotta get ready for bed.

Guess who?

Um, can you take that off, please?

Who was on the phone?

Uh...

Nobody.

A ghost.

Yeah, maybe.

Come on, homework.

So we have to put the trunk in the family tree about here.

Mmm-hmm.

And all the people are the leaves.

Okay.

You know Grandpa?

Hmm?

How he died...

Yeah.

And we went to the funeral.

Mmm-hmm.

Was Joan there?

Uh...

No, she wasn't, Bunny.

Why not?

Well...

Uh, she lives very far away.

We need to stick photos in too. How far away?

Did you say photos?

- Yes. - Can't we just draw the pictures?

I need photos.

Well, I'm gonna need them back.

Where's Joan?

Um...

- I don't have any photos of her. - Why not?

I haven't seen her in a long time.

I don't stay in touch with her.

Why not?
