Our Secret Identities Chapter 172 – By Extension, You Are Family
Simone and Emmett woke the following morning to pots and pans banging in the kitchen. It wasn’t overly loud; however, it wasn’t a normal sound they were used to hearing. Getting out of bed and putting on her robe; Simone heads to the kitchen to see what was happening. “Sorry; I didn’t wake you, did I?” Cheryl asks, pouring some pancake batter in a sizzling frypan.“It’s ok” Simone smiles, taking a seat at the counter. “I was due to get up anyway.”“I… Uh…” Cheryl stammers as Emmett comes into the kitchen to stand behind Simone. “I want to show my appreciation for your help by making you breakfast.”“That was very kind of you” Emmett says, moving to the side to sit down next to Simone. “You didn’t have to bother yourself” he adds as Simone nudges her elbow into his ribs, shaking her head at him. “I appreciate the thought; it smells wonderful” he adds, taking her hint.“I told Jon to wash up and get ready for school” Cheryl says, putting a pancake on a plate next to the stove before add

Heading into town; Simone turns to face Cheryl in the back seat. “What qualifications do you have?” she asks her. She knew she was Paul’s personal assistant; she wasn’t sure if she had any qualifications as they were sleeping together. Her and Emmett thought they may be able to point her in a direction to get a job.“I’m a bookkeeper” Cheryl says as Emmett raises an eyebrow towards Simone. “I know what you’re thinking. I was hired by Paul to do the books. It was a few years before I started sleeping with him and before you say anything about the changes in materials; I didn’t know it was happening until Barry pointed it out to me one day. I covered for Paul and told him it was because the client changed their mind. I didn’t know it was still happening until he went to court.”‘Defensive!’ Emmett exclaims to himself with a chuckle. “My look wasn’t because of your relationship with Paul. Simone was going to advertise for a bookkeeper today. The person she had to do her books decided not

Simone, Emmett and Cheryl head to the common elevator for Cheryl and Simone to head to the third floor. “When you get to your office, can you send Tiff down” Simone says, giving Emmett a kiss before he heads to the private elevator. She didn’t have to ask him to explain who they were interviewing for the bookkeeping position. It was a given he would explain the situation to her before she gets there.“Tiffany is my personal assistant” Simone explains to Cheryl, stepping on the elevator. “Since Kat is at the school looking after Jonny and Mattie; I have Vince down here and Tiff is assisting Les today.”“Is Vince a bodyguard too?” Cheryl asks, stepping off the elevator behind Simone.“Yes” Simone answers ushering Cheryl to her office and nudging with her head for Vince to come in behind them. “If you get the position; Vince, Katrina or Jason will be there to escort anyone you don’t wish to be here. Vince, have you met Cheryl?”“Not officially” Vince says, offering his hand to her; whils

The following morning; Simone and Emmett were meeting with Stacey for another antenatal checkup. They invited Linda to join them this time and Jenny had offered to look after Jake whilst she came into town to see them.“How are you going?” Linda asks, giving Simone a hug at the doorway of the hospital.“I feel like a beached whale” Simone laughs, hugging her back. “And I know it’s going to get worse. I can still move around without waddling too much and I can sit down and get out of a chair with no trouble, not like those video’s you showed us.”“Give it time, you still have 15 weeks by my calculations” Linda giggles as they walk up to the nurse’s station who lets them know to take a seat before they announce their arrival. “Jake was disappointed he couldn’t see ‘cle Emt today. I left him screaming in Jenny’s arms.”“I told you. I’m lovable” Emmett whispers in Simone’s ear as she rolls her eyes at him before taking a seat in the waiting room. “We found an apartment building. It needs

Linda followed Emmett and Simone to the office building. Simone wanted to introduce her to all the models, Cheryl and Rachael since she accepted the roll of live-in nanny for Isabella. She was feeling a little nervous and Simone didn’t understand why because she was always an easy-going lady. She put it down to Emmett asking her to do an interview.“And to your right you will see my office” Simone says, in her best impression as a tour guide as Linda giggles next to her. Dropping the tour guide persona; “here, you have Tiffany’s office, and the bookkeeper’s office is over there. I will be making this back office into a small nursery for Jake and Isabella. You can set it up however you want it.”“The space is perfect” Linda says, giving her a nervous smile. “I can put a couple of portable cots, play area with some bean bags. Maybe a sofa or two and a television and DVD recorder with some kid’s movies.”“And through here is a common room for the models to do their work” Simone tells her

Sitting on Emmett’s lap to allow everyone else to take the sofa and chairs around the office. Simone introduces Linda to Lester and Jason. “Linda was the nurse you hired for Dad” Simone says to Jason who nods.“Tiff hired her. I just pointed her in the right direction” Jason says with a smile. “What’s this all about?”“Apparently Sylvia isn’t the only person who was released from jail” Simone responds, as Emmett’s eyes grow dark, looking over at Bartholomew. He figured out who they were talking about since Bartholomew was in his office with them.“Claire!” he snaps as Bartholomew nods his head. “When?”“Don’t know” Bartholomew answers, turning his focus onto Linda. “Claudia wasn’t her real name. Her name is Claire Miller. When did you see her?”“A few weeks ago. I don’t understand; her name isn’t Claudia Jackson? Why would you tell Jared and I that was her name?” Linda queries, a puzzled look on her face.“You know how I had to register a name for my masters and doctorate; she registe

The following morning; Bartholomew, Simone, Emmett, Vince and Tiffany head out to the countryside in Simone’s SUV. They thought it would be easier and safer for all of them to go together. “Bart if you don’t stop flirting with my wife; I’m going to throw you out of the vehicle” Emmett yells, pulling Simone closer to him as giggles escaped her lips. “And the car won’t be stopped when it happens.”“And when he does; I’ll stop the car and kick your ass if you don’t stop flirting with mine” Vince spits over his shoulder.“Flirting is all I have, since I can’t have either” Bartholomew snickers, pretending to pout. “Ok; Ok. Jealous much?” he includes as Emmett tries to grab him and open the car door at the same time. “I’ll tone down my flirting. I never really did it before Claudia came into my life. I only started, hoping it will get rid of her. I haven’t learnt where to draw the line because she only got worse.”“The line was crossed when you got into the car” Emmett murmurs as Simone rol

Emmett, Vince and Bartholomew went to the café, where Linda told them she saw Claire. They had sat down in a secluded table away from the rest of the café, however could still see the counter and front entrance. Vince was facing the front door to see if she would show up. “You’ve been awfully quiet for a change” Emmett remarks to Bartholomew turning to look at the doorway as someone walks out.“You haven’t been vocal much yourself” Bartholomew banters back, taking a sip of his cappuccino. “To be completely honest; I’m not looking forward to seeing her.”“That makes two of us” Emmett states, turning in his chair as he hears the bells of the front door ringing again. The longer they waited the more nervous he got. “Show time” he murmurs as Bartholomew turns to look at Claire moving to the counter.“Wait until she sits down. I’m going to stand at the door so she can’t leave and Emmett; you go to the counter first and grab a sugar or something. Make sure she sees you; then Bart will follo

It’s been three years since Simone and Emmett were married. The pair had grown together over the time and the family got bigger with a new arrival six months ago; Lauren Josephine Peterson. 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
Our Secret Identities Chapter 219 – The Final
The limousine pulled up out the front of the banquet hall where the fashion parade was being held. Vince steps out and opens the rear door for everyone to climb out of the back.

Followed by Jason with Rebecca, Jonathon with Matilda, Richard with Sandy and Vince helping Linda, Tiffany and Cheryl out.Simone straightens her black and green full-length dress as Emmett leans over and kisses the side of her head. “Let’s head in; the others will catch up” Emmett whispers in Simone’s ear.Simone nods, taking Emmett’s hand and beaming a smile as they were stopped for pictures momentarily.“I want to call Aunty Leslie before it starts and make sure the twins are ok” Simone says as the group find a seat to the front of the runway.“I already did” Linda voices behind her, sitting down in her seat. “They’ve been fed and are sleeping peacefully. Jakey is playing wit

It’s been three weeks since the twins decided to arrive; giving Emmett and Simone a surprise of a lifetime. Simone was let out of the hospital two days later. Stacey wanted to make sure the twins didn’t need any additional medical help. Given Linda was their nanny; she was for happy for her to take them home when she did.Tiffany had reported to Simone every evening what was going on at the agency. In Simone’s opinion it was so she could see the babies. Robert wasn’t the only model to have been offered a contract overseas.

Our Secret Identities Chapter 216 – Twins?
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.”
Our Secret Identities Chapter 215 – In Labour
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
Our Secret Identities Chapter 214 – My Waters Just Broke
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
Our Secret Identities Chapter 213 – He is My Brother
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
Our Secret Identities Chapter 212 – Trying to Compete
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
Our Secret Identities Chapter 211 – What do you want?
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
