Later that evening; Emmett was on the phone with Stuart. “He gave a statement to the police” Stuart says down the line. “He said he was driving past when the accident occurred. He stopped to offer his assistance and was being a good Samaritan.”

“Did they question about why he took the laptop?” Emmett asks, rolling his eyes towards Simone.

“Of course,” Stuart answers, pausing to let out a breath. “He claims I had asked for it and he was retrieving it for me. My statement to the police is I never asked him nor would I ask him to retrieve my laptop and the said laptop is still missing.”

“That was the sort of confession we were expecting” Emmett tells him, sitting down on the sofa next to Simone. “Did the assistant say why he ran into you in the first place?”

“Doctor Springfield claims his assistant is diabetic. His blood sugar levels were low and passed out, causing the accident” Stuart explains. Emmett knew the photos they had couldn’t prove or disprove this is what occurred.

    The following afternoon; Emmett knocks on the penthouse door and waits with Simone for Richard or Sandy to answer. “We could just go in” Emmett responds, pulling out his key.“It’s impolite” Simone scolds him. Knocking on the door again. “We gave him the penthouse to rent. We need to wait” she adds as the door opens.“Sorry; I was in the shower” Richard exclaims, drying his hair with a towel. “What do I owe the pleasure from a visit by my brother and his wife?” he chuckles as Simone and Emmett walk into the penthouse behind him.“Where’s Sandy?” Simone asks, taking a seat on the sofa.“She went back to her place. They finished fixing up her living room and bedroom after the flooding and she wanted to make sure it was up to her standard” Richard answers, taking a seat opposite her. “She’s also going to Lake Moya tomorrow see the others.”Taking a seat next to Simone; “did you know Stuart was in a car accident?” Emmett questions, getting straight to the point of his visit.“Tyrone was t

    Coming back into the living room; Richard hands Emmett a beer and Simone a bottle of water before opening his own, taking his seat opposite them again. “What did you find out about Paul and Cheryl?” Emmett questions him, thinking they must have gotten married. Running his hand through his hair; he didn’t know if he could take much more when it came to Paul.“I need to explain from the moment I went to Dad’s place to question him about Jeremy” Richard responds, taking a sip of his beer. “Cheryl wasn’t there at the time but I knew she moved in because mum’s things were gone and she had pictures and other items around the place.”“You questioned Paul about Cheryl’s stuff?” Simone asks, placing her hand on Emmett’s thigh. She had a hunch of what bombshell Richard was about to drop. ‘It could be because I am pregnant or you could call it woman’s intuition’ she says in her mind. ‘Either way, Emmett isn’t going to like it.’“I did” Richard responds, not removing his gaze from Emmett. “Dad go

I think she’s Rick’s grandmother.”‘Evelyn Springfield wants to see me?’ Emmett contemplates in his mind. ‘Why?’ he adds before answering Tiffany. “Message Rick to come to my office. Don’t tell him why” Emmett responds. “I’ll be there shortly.”Hanging

    “Rick said you wanted to see me” Tyrone states, coming into Emmett’s office later that day. “What about?”“We need to keep this confidential. I won’t be showing Les, Simone or Stuart unless I have to” Emmett explains, turning his computer screen around to show Tyrone what was on it. “I would like to know the best way to proceed with the following information.”“Where did you get this?” Tyrone asks, reaching over to take Emmett’s mouse and scrolling through the multiple emails on his computer. “There are hundreds of documents here.”“Bank account statements. Emails sent and received by Maxwell Springfield. Pharmaceutical invoices and collaboration documents with Jeremy” Emmett continued, keeping his face neutral. “Not to mention patient information regarding his drug addiction research. The person who gave it to me, took a huge risk; compiling this information over the years. They would like to remain anonymous.” “How did they…” “I didn’t ask and they didn’t tell” Emmett interrupts, g

    Emmett leaves his office and heads into Lester’s. He couldn’t hide the worry on his face as he takes a seat on Lester’s sofa. “I have Aunty Josie coming tomorrow” he states as Lester glances up from his paperwork. “We need her help with Hawkeye.”“Is getting Maxwell Springfield and Jeremy O’Connor that difficult you need to involve her?” Lester questions. He knows who Josephine Boyle is to Simone and Emmett and wanted to make sure this was the only viable move Emmett could make.“Yes” Emmett responds not going into more detail. “If anyone can get information to arrest him for what he is done. It’s her” he continues, keeping his face as neutral as he could. He knows he couldn’t hide his worry from Lester. “I want to surprise Simone. Don’t tell her she’s coming.”“Ok” Lester sighs, stepping out from behind his desk. “I’m ready with all the paperwork for the directors meeting. Are you ready to introduce a new chief editor?”“As I’ll ever be” Emmett responds, walking out the doorway behin

Stuart and Roger were throwing questions at Josephine when she smiles at him. “Drake” she exclaims, walking over and wrapping her arms around him.“You weren’t meant to come in until 11” Emmett responds with a smile; picking her up and twirling her around. “It’s good to see you” he adds, placing her feet back on the ground.“I couldn’t wait to see you. Cassie sends her love” she smiles, turning to give Lester a hug as he comes off the elevator. “Still causing trouble for this one?” she questions, nodding her head towards Emmett.“When haven’t I?” Lester answers with a snicker.“I was about to brief Stuart and Roger about our meeting” Emmett injects, pulling out his phone to message Simone and Richard. “You may as well come into my office now.”‘Our 11am is early.

    After listening to Sylvia’s confession; Josephine looks over at Simone and Emmett. “You are aware we can’t use this as evidence to arrest Doctor Springfield” she says, picking up on the bit of information he was the one who ordered their accident. “Are you certain he was involved?”“Roger, do you mind moving so I can show Aunty Josie the files?” Emmett asks, as Roger and Josephine switch places. “We are aware. We have more.”“I had found the information out with Mike’s help” Stuart explains as Josephine clicks on the files in Hawkeye. “Celeste and Victoria’s old editor had some of their old notes and was sure they were set up. He couldn’t prove it. Mike found a connection to Doctor Springfield and everything else fell into place. He was the person they were investigating.”“How do you know Seamus O’Connor wasn’t the head of the Irish Mob?” Josephine asks, glancing through the files.“Alan O’Neill told us his part in the arrest” Tyrone spits as Josephine turns to stare at him. “He did

Thankfully there was no surprises of a second baby during the delivery.“Are you ready for our special evening?” Emmett calls from the living room as Simone walks out in her bodysuit, dressed in an off the shoulder royal blue evening dress with a slit up the right side. “You always look stunning” he adds, giving her a peck on her temple.They were heading to the charity banquet for the local shelter for domestic violence. Cheryl helped establish it with the money given to her from Evelyn when she passed away. “Dad; we leaving shortly” Simone calls out as Phillip comes out of the playroom with Lauren in his arms and two three-year-olds hanging onto each leg. “Thank you for looking after them tonight” she adds.“You don’t have to thank me” Phillip beams, placing Lauren in the playpen and picking up e

    Tiffany walks through the door of the birthing suite. Seeing the little bundle in Emmett’s arms, she walks over to him. “There’s my little goddaughter” she coos, taking her from Emmett.“Hmm-hmm” Simone sounds, clearing her throat for Tiffany to look at her. She glances up and sees the second baby attached to Simone’s breast. Her mouth gapes open as she glances between the two babies.“Twins? When the fuck were you going to tell us?” Tiffany whisper shouts at Simone. “And why didn’t you tell me you were in labour and heading to the hospital?”“I couldn’t tell you about this one because I didn’t know. This little man decided he wanted to stay hidden. The amnio results were taken from Isabella’s fluid sac since his was behind hers” Simone whisper shouts her explanation back to Tiffany, who starts smiling and cooing at Isabella. “As for being in labour; I didn’t get a chance to tell you. I called Emmett to let him know my waters broke and before I knew it; he was carrying me to the car.”

    Emmett raced to the hospital with Simone protesting beside him to slow down. ‘I knew it wasn’t Braxton Hicks this time’ Emmett fumes in his mind. “Slow down, Emmett” she says again, pulling him out of his thoughts.He looks over to her and beams a smile in her direction; “we are going to meet our little girl” he says as another contraction hits Simone and she screams out in pain. “We are almost there” he whispers in a hushed tone.He pulls up out of the emergency department. Linda is waiting out the front with a wheel chair for them to arrive. “You called Linda?” he asks as she nods and tries to breathe through another contraction.“How far apart are the contractions?” Linda asks Emmett.He gives her a blank stare; “I was a bit preoccupied, trying to get her to the hospital; I forgot to time them. If I was to guess, they are 2-3 minutes apart” he tells her.“And her waters broke while she was on the phone to me. Let’s get her up and see how far along she is” Linda states as Emmett pus

    Sitting at her desk; Simone started fidgeting as she glanced at the doorway, hoping Cheryl, Vince, Tiffany, Jonathon and Matilda would walk through. “Calm down” Emmett states, running his hands through his hair as he sat on the sofa. “You decided to let Cheryl and Tiffany go to the runway show and be pleasantly surprised at the clothes tomorrow night.” They decided not to tell Emmett the real reason behind not going to the production warehouse for the final and gave him the excuse she wanted to be pleasantly surprised. It was a good thing too, since the day at the hotel with Alexandro; she had been getting Braxton Hicks contractions every couple of days.“I know” Simone murmurs, walking out from behind her desk and taking a seat next to Emmett on the sofa. “I’m nervous because I’m not there to stop Alexandro for doing or saying anything to Jonny.”“He wouldn’t be game with Vince or Tiff there” Emmett chuckles, putting his arms around her and pecking the side of her head. Emmett pulls

    Over the next few weeks; to Simone’s surprise, Alexandro stayed away from her when she went to the warehouse for the production. Holly and Quintin confirmed he hadn’t been asking questions about her or her relationship with Emmett anymore. ‘Maybe he has finally gotten the hint’ she says to herself.Emmett had made an effort to get to know Albert for the time he was in Rocky Valley and both decided to keep in touch. “I’m glad you and Al could become friends” Simone says to Emmett in the bedroom as she steps into her green maternity dress to get ready to head over to the production warehouse. “He really is a great guy.”“Ehh” Emmett voices with a shrug of his shoulders, causing Simone to giggle at his attempt to downplay his friendship with an old school colleague. “Are you and Vince taking Jonny in today?”“Yes” Simone replies, putting her watch on her wrist and looking at the time. “He should be heading up any…” she didn’t get to finish her sentence when they heard the knock on the do

    Albert had left the room to head down to the lobby. He had mentioned to Adam before walking out the door to make sure the ladies were safe; one thing he was certain of, Alexandro wasn’t to be trusted with them. He had a feeling Simone’s comment to the hotel receptionist; Emmett would be notified of their whereabouts and would be there soon. He wanted to explain his involvement before it got out of hand.He barely made it out of the elevator before Emmett ran through the front door; stopping dead and folding his arms in front of him with a smirk on his face. “Why am I not surprised; he had you kidnap my wife” Emmett spits at the man in front of him.Albert’s eyes widen with Emmett’s statement before composing himself again. Leona only told him Emmett wasn’t her brother; he didn’t know any other details. “What kidnapping?” Albert states; glaring back at Emmett as two more men walk through the doorway to stand behind him. “They came freely and Leona gave you a message she was ok on the s

    Caitlyn and Simone were shocked they were ushered into a waiting vehicle out the back of the supermarket. Because of this, Simone was inwardly cursing herself for leaving Sandy and Cheryl without giving them an explanation on what was happening. She was even more annoyed both of them had left their handbags in the trolleys so she couldn’t message Emmett what was going on and tell him she was ok; ‘hopefully he will see the camera footage and know they were fine’ she tells herself.“We should have bought our bags with us” Caitlyn giggles, trying to lighten the mood with a joke. She too was annoyed she didn’t think it would be more than two minutes to go out the back to talk. Seeing Simone wasn’t amused by her comment; Caitlyn turns her attention to the men in the front seat. “Al; we understand he can’t leave and everything. Why is it important for him to see us?”The chestnut brown-haired man driving, looked at the two women behind him in the rearview mirror. He didn’t say anything exce
