Laura lifted up the pregnancy test to the shower for her husband to see.
'Are you f**king serious?' Dalton called out in excitement. 'What the hell! Is that serious?'
His voice rose several octaves as he popped his head out of shower - razor still in hand.
'Is that actually what it means? Is that actually the two strikes?' he asked again in disbelief.
'I'm shaking. I did not think I would be pregnant,' Laura repeated incredulously.
'No you're joking!' Dalton said, as Laura burst into tears of happiness.
Laura then asked him: 'Can I still do the marathon?'
He answered, yes. 'Can you come out of the shower now?' she cried to her husband.

'I stood here for five minutes staring at the test feeling completely overwhelmed and shocked,' she wrote in caption text over the video.
'I had thought about this moment a lot – thinking about whether I wanted to have kids or not – as I felt the pressure to burst into happy tears which I didn't think I would.'
'I wasn't going to share this originally because it wasn't like a lot of the beautiful videos I have seen online but then I remembered that we all process things so differently and nothing is more or less than, it just is,' she added.
'And I just want to say that I completely acknowledge how much of a privilege it is to be shocked to find out I was pregnant like this and my heart goes out to every single person navigating the heart breaking journey of infertility.'
Fans and friends rushed to congratulate the happy couple in the comments and compliment the 'raw' and 'real' moment.
'"Can I still do the marathon?" Hahah I love you. You're going to be a wonderful Mum Laura, what a lucky baby xxx,' Olivia Molly Rogers commented.
'" Can you get out of the shower?" Hahahaha I love this. So raw and beautiful,' influencer Melanie Edwards wrote.
Child-free influencer Danni Duncan also added her praise for sharing the footage: 'Awww I love how normal and real this is Laura!!.'
'This is so wholesome,' Beck Lomas wrote. 'Dalton opening the shower door and the look on his face when you told him was so sweet omg.'
Laura revealed she was pregnant and shared a sweet Instagram post which showed her getting an ultrasound
Laura told Stellar Magazine that she was so caught out of the blue that she had a laparoscopy booked in May in order to check for endometriosis.
'I was going to do the London Marathon, have the laparoscopy, and after that start thinking about kids,' she told the publication.
Laura did a test one day after missing her period.
'I was like, 'We can't be. We had had sex once the month before – like, a morning quickie',' she laughed.
'[Then], you know, turn the test around and… we are pregnant.'

David Stratton's scathing review of iconic film The Castle goes viral following film critic's death
It's the low-budget Aussie movie comedy that's now considered a classic by fans. But when The Castle was released, 28 years ago, film critic David Stratton, who passed away on Thursday aged 85, confessed that he did not get the joke. And now his notorious review of the film, from the now legendary Work Dog team, has gone viral after being re-posted to X following his passing. Originally broadcast as part of The Movie Show on SBS in 1997, Stratton's review was scathing, calling the film, 'silly' and 'roughly' made. 'Well I'm afraid it wasn't for me,' he told his longtime co-host Margaret Pomeranz, who loved the film. 'I really didn't get onto the wavelength of this film at all,' Stratton continued, adding he thought the filmmakers had 'patronised' its working-class characters. 'I didn't find it funny,' he said, and gave the film one and a half stars out of four, while Pomeranz gave it four stars out of four. Still, Stratton lived to regret his verdict. Like many professional critics, serious about their role, the English-born cinephile was in the habit of revisiting films with fresh eyes. The 85-year-old told The Sydney Morning Herald, last year, he 'completely misunderstood' the film. 'It was the first film made by a team that worked in television, and it looked to me like a telemovie, whereas I'm very much into the visual side of cinema,' he explained. David admitted he had since watched the film several times and finds it very entertaining. 'But I obviously completely misunderstood it, as I have watched it a few times since, and I now think it's very funny,' he continued. Fans of Stratton were quick to comment on the X share. 'We'll miss you Dave,' said one user, while another added, 'A true giant of the Australian film industry, vale.' 'Sad about that. He was a legend,' added another. One follower commented: 'Not just a marvellous critic. A really wonderful man.' The Castle, which first hit screens Down Under in April 1997, is a comedy about a blue-collar family battling developers. Anne Tenney, Stephen Curry, Sophie Lee, Eric Bana and Charles 'Bud' Tingwell, starred alongside Michael Caton in the ultra-low budget film. The film's creators, Rob Sitch, Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner, and Jane Kennedy, who were famed for the tabloid TV satire Frontline (1994-1997), later made another comedy classic, The Dish, in 2000. Despite its extremely low budget of just $750,000, The Castle was a financial success, grossing $10.3 million at the box office in Australia. The film spawned a truckload of catchphrases. Dialogue lines like 'Tell them they're dreamin', 'That's going straight to the pool room' and 'how's the serenity' were endlessly quoted by fans and adopted by commentators in the three decades since the movie's release. Caton became a popular star in Australia after playing the lead role in The Castle - a Melbourne family man who fights to keep his home from being acquired by the government in its plans to expand a nearby airport. Since then, Caton has appeared in a slew of top-tier Australian dramas including Packed to the Rafters, Strange Bedfellows, The Animal and All Saints. He also starred alongside Sam Neill in Rams last year, and in the Packed to the Rafters reboot, Back to the Rafters. It comes after Stratton's family announced his passing on Thursday. He died peacefully, aged 85, in a hospital near his Blue Mountains home west of Sydney. Stratton's career as a film critic, writer, and educator in Australia spanned more than half a century until his retirement in December 2023, following a series of health problems. He was best known for appearing on television screens alongside co-host Margaret Pomeranz for almost three decades on various movie review shows. 'David's passion for film, commitment to Australian cinema, and generous spirit touched countless lives,' his family said. 'He was adored as a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and admired friend. 'David's family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming support from friends, colleagues, and the public recently and across his lifetime.' They also had a special request for film buffs. '[We] invite everyone to celebrate David's remarkable life and legacy by watching their favourite movie, or David's favourite movie of all time — Singin' In the Rain,' the family added.

This grotesque body horror is a case of come to gag, stay for the gags
'If we don't split now, it'll be so much harder later,' Millie forlornly tells her boyfriend, Tim – setting up one of the great horror told-ya-sos of recent years. At the start of this energisingly grotesque debut feature from Australia's Michael Shanks, these two young not-yet-marrieds – played for meta-points by real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie – find themselves at a fork in the road. His career as a musician has stalled, while hers as an English teacher now depends on them quitting their city apartment for a rural fresh start. The bad news is this joint move is being made when the pair have never felt less attached. The good is that a lovely new home awaits: an attractive clapboard cottage in the country with a spacious kitchen, plenty of bedrooms – and a cursed subterranean spring within easy walking distance. On the sort of hike that begins with the suggestion 'Shall we follow this trail of sinister iron bells inscribed with occult sigils into the forest?', Franco inevitably ends up drinking from this transparently satanic chasm, and soon thereafter feels physically drawn to his partner in a way he hasn't in months. Or, in fact, ever. Supernatural forces keep yanking him into her presence in a trance, while in moments of intimacy their lips and limbs become temporarily superglued. Indeed, 'joined at the hip' would be a polite way to describe them after one heroically revolting sequence, which features some memorable flesh-stretching sound effects and what I hope was a convincing prosthetic. With that twangy flourish, Together positions itself in that fruitful strain of horror which takes a metaphorical reading of a common human problem and turns it into a one-off real-life nightmare. In short, what The Babadook did for depression, Hereditary for family trauma and Rosemary's Baby for pregnancy, this does for couples who can't work out when, or if, to call it quits. The familiar-in-each-other's-skin chemistry between Brie and Franco never quite feels essential to the project, but certainly greases its wheels. You buy that these two are a long-term item, but also that her mounting frustration might cause her to look twice at an affable new colleague played by Damon Herriman, whose strangely unplaceable appearance serves as a visual feed-line for one of the film's more satisfying pit-of-the-stomach-drop moments. It's one of its more amusing, too. Despite its elevated horror trappings (note the extremely serious opening credits font), Together grows increasingly droll as it squelches along – even if in its middle act it seems a little uncertain of exactly how funny it wants to be. But there's a chuckling fiendishness to some of the couple's later predicaments that feels closer in spirit to Japan's Takashi Miike, the director of Audition, than the more satirically charged body horrors of David Cronenberg, while a joke about a certain chart-topping Nineties pop album resolves itself after almost an hour with such outrageous nerve that I let out a bark. Come to gag, stay for the gags – or vice versa.

Aussie fitness influencer reveals David Beckham slid into her DMs and shows the proof
Pregnant Aussie fitness influencer Laura Henshaw sent her fans into a frenzy on Wednesday when she revealed English footballer David Beckham had slid into her DMs around seven years ago. The KICPOD host, 32, made the revelation in a video uploaded to her podcast's Instagram page and even shared a censored look at the messages.

'Story time on old mate Dave ploise [sic],' one person wrote in the comments, while another said: 'We NEED the Beckham tea!' 'Now I'm curious what did Beckham say to Laura!' a third added, while someone else commented: 'Podcast on David Beckham please Laurs.' Need to know more on David Beckham!' said one. 'Surely tell us David story! Leaving us hanging,' another noted. However, those who have followed Laura closely over the years will know the messages were likely about the work she did with AIA Vitality seven years ago. David has been a global ambassador for the health and wellness brand since 2017, and is often involved with AIA Vitality initiatives. Laura, as a co-founder of Australian health and fitness app Kic - formerly Keep It Cleaner - got involved with AIA Australia in 2018.
