    Alex doesn't want kids. She's learnt first-hand from the women in her family how hard it can be when relationships don't work out. But then she meets Tom.

    Tom desperately wants to be a dad and Alex wants to be with Tom, so they come to a compromise: they'll have one child together.

    The most intense fourth date ever

    Alyssa Hodges always wanted to be a mum, just not at 19 years old. Then 17 weeks into her pregnancy, her partner left.

    Overwhelmed and grieving, dating was the last thing on her mind. But a friend suggested she give Tinder a go, as it would be even harder to date once the baby arrived.

    She didn't expect to meet and start falling for Max Silvy. And she definitely didn't expect to go into labour when they were meant to be having their fourth date.

    DJ Kool Herc brings the Bronx to Hau Latukefu's house party

    Raised in Queanbeyan, Country NSW, Hau Latukefu is a world removed from hip hop’s ground zero in New York City. But like his Tongan heritage, he’s fully immersed in the culture and works hard to find his own hip hop voice.

    As one half of Koolism, Hau is a card-carrying pioneer in the local scene. And when Koolism is nominated for an ARIA award, Hau comes face to face with another pioneer, the legendary Bronx DJ Kool Herc. Will Hau get the nod of approval from the father of hip hop?
