When Janette woke up she started panicking as it was her baby shower day but she hadn't invited anyone. She went to find Amy who was making breakfast.

Amy: "morning, you look better than you did last night. You ok?"
Janette: "everything is a mess. I fell asleep and didn't message anyone about today so no one is going to be there."
Amy: "it's alright, after I left you asleep last night, I realised that you hadn't messaged anyone so I did and everyone is coming."
Janette: "what would I do without you? Did you message Aljaz?"
Amy: "I did. Hope you don't mind."
Janette: "it's ok, this is his baby too and I have to see him sooner or later. Let's eat I'm starving."

After breakfast, Janette washed up then started getting ready for her baby shower and planning how she was going to tell everyone.

Amy, Janette and Ben were on their way to set up the venue when Janette received a message from Aljaz saying that he was on his way to help out. Janette's heart sank, she wasn't ready to face him yet. She started rubbing her bump with her son kicking back. When they got to the venue, Aljaz was waiting for them. Amy and Janette picked up some of the bags and took them inside.

Ben: "she's had a rough few weeks, give her time."
Aljaz: "I know and thanks for letting her stay with you."
Ben: "it's ok. We should start getting these boxes in to the girls."

Amy: "you ok?"
Janette: "nope, I know I have to talk to him but I can't."
Ben: "where do you want these boxes?"
Amy: "kitchen please, they have the food in."
Aljaz: "what time is everyone getting here?"
Amy: "between half 2 and 3"

Ben and Aljaz went to get the rest of the boxes while Janette and Amy unpacked and decorated. When all the boxes that were in, Ben and Aljaz helped with the decorations.

When everything was ready, the girls went to get changed and do their makeup.

Janette: "I'm really scared"
Amy: "why?"
Janette: "what happens if they react like my mom."
Amy: "I'll be there and if anyone says anything then they'll have me to deal with."
Janette: "I know I've said it before but I wouldn't have got through the last few weeks without you"
Amy: "I'm just glad that I could help and that you felt like you could trust me"
Janette: "come on, let's go back everyone will be here soon."

Amy and Janette headed back to where Ben and Aljaz were just as the first guests started arriving. When everyone was there, Janette grabbed Aljaz to the side to see how they should announce the news. Once they'd decided, they went back and made a noise for everyone to be quiet.
