Next week on *Home and Away*, Harper is grappling with a mix of emotions,

particularly struggling with morning sickness, while still uncertain about her future.

Xander, unaware of her situation, invites Dana to lunch, but she declines in favor of

heading home with Harper. To make things easier, Xander offers to prepare lunch at the beach house, and Dana accepts.

Earlier that day, Harper had stocked up on pregnancy supplements, and when Dana accidentally knocks over her bag, Xander spots a bottle of folic acid. Without thinking, Dana quickly covers for Harper, claiming the supplements are hers, explaining that she’s trying to stay healthy with her night shifts and lifeguard duties. Later, the trio heads to Salt, where Xander starts his shift. Harper confides in Dana, expressing her uncertainty about becoming a mother, given the tough upbringing they both endured with their parents’ addiction.

In a show of solidarity, Dana decides to support Harper by going alcohol-free for the day. When Xander brings over their usual order of red wine, Dana declares they’re detoxing and asks for orange juice instead. That evening, Harper finds comfort in knowing that Dana would support her if Tane chose not to be involved. This reassurance solidifies Harper’s decision—she’s going to keep the baby. Dana is thrilled, and as they excitedly discuss what lies ahead, from morning sickness to the joys of motherhood, neither realizes that Xander, while clearing a nearby table, overhears everything.

Stunned by the revelation, Xander stands behind the bar, shell-shocked, before confiding in Rose that he’s about to become a father.
