Emmett and Simone left the office and headed to the hospital to see Richard before going home. “Are we going to talk about it?” Simone asks, glancing over at Emmett. “You’ve been very quiet since you came to see me in my office.”

“There’s nothing to talk about” Emmett responds, releasing the breath he was holding. He knew he needed to discuss what happened between him and Miranda. He wasn’t looking forward to it. “You made up your mind what you wanted to do. I am going to support your decision. It looks like Miranda married her on again, off again boyfriend. That’s why we were in a ‘friends with benefits’ relationship. I didn’t want to commit because I loved you and she didn’t want to commit because she loved Nick.”

“Why were they on again, off again?” Simone asks, trying to piece together the true feelings she had for Emmett. She knew Emmett loved her and wasn’t worried about him. A woman he knew coming to Rocky Valley all of a sudden; she wasn’t so sure.

    Emmett and Simone headed towards Paul’s place after visiting Richard. They were taking Jonathon back to pick up some clothes for the next few nights as Cheryl agreed for him to stay with them since it was the weekend. “Did she give you a reason why she agreed?” Simone questions, trying to keep the shock out of her voice. She was still surprised she allowed Jonathon to stay until Sunday.“All mum said was she understood” Jonathon replies as Emmett pulls into the driveway.“There’s no need for us to come in” Emmett states as Jonathon nods and steps out of the car. “We’ll wait here” he adds watching him walk up to the front door before disappearing inside the house.“Did you want to get something for dinner? I can stop off at the café to pick up some burgers” Emmett says to Simone as she nods when a tap comes on his window; startling them both. Winding down his window; “Can I help you?” he asks, looking out at Cheryl.“I want to thank you for offering to take Jonny for a few days” Cheryl

She did and asked for his portfolio.Simone promptly informed her; she was away from the office; however, was able to send a photo with his height and measurements via text message. From there; she coached Jonathon on different looks and stances so he wouldn’t feel out of place.“I’ve messaged Todd; he is willing to do a few photos for your portfolio Monday after school and I will get your mum to sign the written permissions for me to manage you” Simone says, turning in her chair to speak with Jonathon. “That way we don’t need the written consent every time you are booked.”“Can I register under a fake name like you did?” Jonathon asks, looking at Simone.“A lot of models do.

The photo they chose was an accidental improv according to Jonny. They were meant to be running and Mattie slipped.

About the charity auction.”“Show her in” Angela answers, closing her eyes. Hearing her office door open, she opens her eyes and beams a smile at the lady walking into her office in a navy-blue skirt suit. “Mrs Keller; I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. It must be tough.”“It was. Even though it was over 12 months ago. I’m still grieving” Miranda replies in a strong English accent, taking a seat in front of Angela.“That will be all” Angela looks up at Chelsea who scampers out of

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
