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. But the family Alex ends up with is very different from the one she expects. Reporter Tamar Cranswick Sound engineer Isabella Tropiano Executive producer Sophie Townsend
