The following morning; Emmett and Simone head into the office after seeing Stacey at the hospital. She wanted to double check; Simone didn’t have any side effects from the amniocentesis. The baby’s heartbeat still sounded strong and Simone didn’t have bleeding or cramping that could occur.

There was another reason for her appointment. There were early results given to Stacey. They will still have to wait for the official results; however, Stacey gave them an envelope, containing the sex of the baby which could be determined in the first 2-3 days of the amniocentesis.

Emmett wanted to open the envelope right there and then. Simone took it before he could. Because she was heading to the office building to meet Katrina, she thought she would give it to Lester at the same time. She found out that morning; Katrina was Jason’s sister. Vince was going to meet them at the office; deciding he will see how he goes with being a personal assistant.

“Hide this” Simone says, coming into Lester’s of

    Stuart sits nervously in Emmett’s office. He can hear Simone and Emmett arguing outside the open door. “Kat; take Simone home” Emmett yells at another lady.“No. I’m staying right here” Simone responds just as loud. “This involves my mother too. I have every right to be here. I need to know what the hell is going on.”‘Her mother?’ Stuart questions in his mind. ‘One of the ladies must have been her mother. That explains the way they acted.’Relaxing a little; Stuart sits there and waits for Emmett to come into his office. “Fine” Emmett shouts, walking into his office with Simone following. “Stuart; you need to tell me everything you know about the investigation they are doing on the car accident.”“He didn’t tell me anything on why they were investigating the car accident” Stuart begins, sucking in a gulp of air. “This is why I wanted to follow up the lead. Look at old articles they were doing at the time; see if there was a link to Seamus O’Connor.”“Do you think Paul and Seamus have

    Heading into the office the following morning; Simone and Emmett were a bit apprehensive. Phillip had told the pair yesterday; he didn’t know what they were searching, but thought whatever Celeste and Victoria were working on; got them killed. He couldn’t prove it and didn’t know where to start to find out. Emmett was going to talk to Stuart about their discussion, today.“What the fuck?” Emmett says, glancing upwards out the windscreen as he pulled into his parking spot near the front door. The whole building was covered in some sort of plastic. “It looks like it’s been lowered down from the roof” Emmett fumes, getting out the car.They walk towards the front doors; Simone notices everyone coming in and out of the building were all wearing the same colour. “Lester!” she exclaims with a laugh; taking out her phone and snapping a picture. A sense of warmth and joy replaced the anger and apprehension she was feeling.Emmett stops to stare at Simone; “We are having a girl?” he questions,

    After going around the third floor; Emmett and Simone left laughing as the painters arrived and thought they were told the wrong colour scheme until Barry assured them the pink was for a different reason.“When will the floor be finished?” Emmett asks Richard as they wait for the elevator.“Providing there is no unforeseen variables to cause delays. End of next week” Richard answers with a smile. “Because Simone accepted the new drawings and there were no structural changes to the floor above; it is a quicker progress. Also; taking into consideration Barry wanting to do a good job and finish in a timely manner for his niece.”“Great” Simone exclaims as they all step onto the elevator. “I can’t wait to sign up and teach new models.”Heading down to the first floor, where the radio station was; Emmett, Simone, Tiffany, Richard, Tyrone, Katrina and Phillip got off the elevator. Sure enough; the desks, counters, partitions, walls and floors were all pink; with pink streamers and balloons

    Paul races up to the top floor; getting changed into the clothes from Tyrone. “I am getting a granddaughter” he yells coming into Emmett’s office. He didn’t question why he was allowed to enter the office; nor did he know who the other people were, sitting in there with Lester, Simone, Richard and Emmett.“That explains the pink everywhere” Roger says with a chuckle from his seat in front of Emmett’s desk. “Congratulations by the way.”“You do not have a granddaughter. My father has a granddaughter” Simone says, pointing to the older gentleman on the sofa in the corner; next to Lester. “You may be biologically related to her; she is not your granddaughter.”“You are going to deny me my granddaughter?” Paul asks, his face turning red with frustration. “All Sylvia and I ever wanted was a daughter.”“You are trying to tell us; if Emmett and I were girls, you wouldn’t have been such an ass to us?” Richard scoffs from the corner of the room as Emmett puts up his hand to stop him from talki

I don’t know who else to turn to. You have friends in powerful places.’‘Vic; I think she saw us. We need to leave” Celeste’s screams as they hear the car starting up in the background.‘When you get this message; you need to come to Bay’s Bridge’ Victoria says in a panic. ‘You need to hurry.’‘Oh, my god’ Celeste yells as they hear a loud crash before the recording goes dead.Once the recording was done; Paul opens his eyes, hoping the tears he felt; didn’t fall. Emmett was no longer behind his desk. He hadn’t noticed Emmett move to Simone; holding onto her so tight he thought he was going to snap her in two. “Get out” Richard snaps at Paul.“Come again?” Paul snorts. ‘Since when does Ricky order me what to do’ he spits in his mind.“Jase, get him out of here” Richard yells, standing up.

    Emmett and Lester sent everyone home for the rest of the day after Stuart told them what he had found. When Paul ran into the office the day before; he yelled ‘It was Sylvia’ which took Simone, Phillip, Richard and Emmett by surprise. He had said, ‘Vicki must have recognised Sylvia and called him; that is why she thought only he could help her. Sylvia was also at the crash site, claiming ‘she followed me there. I believed her.’They knew they needed to question Sylvia for her involvement in Victoria and Celeste’s death. Paul was very forthcoming and was willing to help get her to the office.“Why do you need me to go see Emmett?” Sylvia shouts at her husband. “I don’t care about your bastard son. I never cared about him.”“Simone is carrying my granddaughter. Emmett is willing to let go of the past for the sake of the child. He wants to make sure you are willing to do the same. Please come with me; for the innocent child she is carrying” Paul pleads with Sylvia.Sylvia was the one who

He didn’t want her here.“Vince called me and told me you went to the hospital. I came as fast as I could” Simone snaps back.Calming down slightly; Emmett answers her first question. “Paul stepped in front to stop Sylvia from stabbing me” Emmett murmurs; taking in a long breath. “I was applying pressure to the wound until help arrived. He’s still in surgery.”“Why didn’t you go to Rocky Valley hospital?” Katrina voices, coming into the waiting room. “It would have been closer.”“Yeah, right” Richard scoffs, looking perplexed at the woman in front of him, before realising she didn’t know about his grandfather. “It was better for him not to go there” he respon

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

    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.

    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.

    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
