Chapter Thirty-four“Hey Coops” I said walking into his office a week after Jai and I got back together. “Hi Simone” Cooper greeted me wearily from behind a stack of papers on his desk. “Cooper when did all this work come in?” I asked him picking up a stack of folders and flicking though them. He gave me a long sigh “today. I feel terrible, because I promised Austin I would hang out with him tonight and I doesn’t look like I am going anywhere, I at least need to make a dent in this”. He ran his hands threw his hair in frustration. I looking at the papers on his desk I added the folders I had been holding to the top and grabbed a bigger stack. “’Cooper go home to your family, I will make the dent for you, and you can owe me big time later” I said smiling as I stood up. “Really Simone?” Cooper asked me hopefully. I have him a nod “Cooper you only needed to ask” I said with a giggle. “I normally would have Simone, but you and Jai are still ‘new’ and I know what it’s like. I didn’t want to take your time with him away”. He said a little worried. “Cooper!” I scolded him “don’t ever do this again ok. Yes I love spending time with Jai, but this is my work and you are my partner. Austin wont be a kid forever, and Jai and I have plenty of time together. He will understand why I cant be home. I don’t think Austin will. Now get out of here before I kick your butt” I said laughing now. Cooper rounded his desk and gave me a quick hug “consider me gone” he said grinning as he let me go. I rolled my eyes and walked out of his door with a smile and headed to my own office. With a sigh I put the stack of papers on my desk and rang Jai. “Hey Kitten, when are you coming home. I miss you” he said to me when he answered. “Aww Jai you are so sweet” I said smiling at the phone “but I wont be home till real late. I have a stack of paper work I am helping Cooper with. Don’t stay up, I really don’t know when I will be home” I said listening to the silence on the other end. “What are you going to have for dinner?” Jai asked breaking the silence a moment later. “I think there are some biscuits in the coffee room” I replied. “Simone that’s not a good enough dinner” Jai scolded. “Sorry Jai, how’s this I will ring for a pizza or something” I said looking at the papers and knowing there would be no time to eat. “Make sure you do” Jai said, his voice relaxing. “I will honey. See you tomorrow” I said bidding him a good bye. After hanging up I opened the first folder and turned my computer back on. While it was loading I headed to the coffee room and made myself a strong coffee and grabbed some of those biscuits for my dinner, feeling bad that I told Jai a white lie about ringing for a pizza. “There just isn’t time” I mumbled to myself on the way back to my office, sipping my coffee as I went. Sighing I sat back down at the computer and smiled at the picture of Jai sitting next to it, tearing my eyes away from it I turned my attention to the paper work needing my attention. An hour later my stomach started its grumbling. “Shh” I said looking down, almost wishing I ordered that pizza. “Who are you telling to be quiet?” Jai’s voice came from the door. I looked up at him a little shocked. “What are you doing here?” I asked him. “I knew you wouldn’t order a pizza. So as soon as you hung up from me I got into my car brought some Chinese on the way” He said with a small grin. “What makes you think I haven’t eaten already?” I asked him with defiance. Jai gave me a knowing look as he raised his eyebrow. I didn’t have a chance to retaliate as my stomach gave a loud growl. “That’s how I know Simone” he said smiling as I gave him a sheepish grin. Leaning over the desk he gave me a long kiss. “Have I told you how precious you are?” Jai asked me with a smile when he pulled back. “You have, but you can tell me again” I said returning his smile. He gave me a wink and handed me one of the Chinese boxes from the bag and a set of chop sticks. Taking a seat in front of my desk he pulled out the other box. “How was your day?” I asked Jai as we ate. We continued the small chatter while we ate. Jai took the rubbish out to the cleaners that had come around then came back into my office and made himself comfortable on the lounge. His brown eyes watching me. “What?” I asked bushing from his gaze. “Your too sexy for words” he grinned. “Let me know when you are ready to go home” he gave me a wink as he picked up on of the magazines on the table. “Jai you don’t have to stay” I said to him. “I know Kitten” he said using his nick name for me “but I want to”. Giving him a grateful smile I went back to my work. Wondering how I landed myself such a wonderful boyfriend.

Chapter Thirty-fiveGrinning I looked down at Jai still sleeping happily, a slight smile on his lips, while I finished brushing my hair. Putting the brush on the night stand I leant down and kissed him awake. “mmm” he said pulling me closer to him. Bracing my hands on either side of his body, I gave him a little giggle “Jai I am dressed for work”. “So” he mumbled, sleep still clouding his mind. “Go back to sleep honey, I just wanted to let you know I was going”. “What time is it” he asked his eyes opening a little more. “To early for you to be up” I said touching his cheek softly. “Will you be free for lunch?” he asked. “For you, I will be” I replied “now go back to sleep”. “Ok” he mumbled “but not before I get another kiss”. Laughing I bent my head back to his and found his lips. Still smiling I left the room and headed for the kitchen to grab and apple for breakfast. Not expecting anyone to be up I tip toed through the house. “Simone!” Jackson said from the kitchen door. “Oh Jack” I said almost dropping my apple “You scared the life out of me, my heart is racing!” “Sorry Simone” Jack said giving me a sheepish grin. “I got up to use the toilet when I saw the light in the flat on. I knew it would be you, and I have wanted to talk to you. We just keep missing each other”. “Oh, Jack you should have given a message to Jai. I would have made time for you. You know that” I said with a smile. Jack retuned it with a wink “Yeah Simone, I know that and I knew that I would catch up with you eventually. So do you have a few minutes to spare now?” he asked. “Of course Jack” I said following him to the table and taking a seat in front of him. “I am not sure where to start” he said taking a breath “but I feel as a friend I need to question you, and what I say may sound harsh, but its not. I love you Simone and only want to se you happy”. He said looked at me with seriously. “Ok” I nodded, waiting for him to continue, after another deep breath he did, and got straight to the point. “Simone what are you doing with Jai?” “What do you mean Jack. I love Jai” I said feeling a little defensive. “I have no doubt about that Simone, but you don’t look at him the way you do Bryon. With Bryon you look at him like there is none else but the both of you in the room, you watch his every move and don’t seem to be able to tear your eyes away from him. With Jai you don’t do that” He said. I sighed “Jack, Bryon was the first person to show me what a real man was. I fell in love with him, but I lost my love for him when I found he was using me. He will always hold a special place in my heart, but I don’t love him anymore, I love Jai. The looks you are seeing is probably hatred, and wondering how he can be the man I first knew, the one I fell out of love with, not the one I broke up with. He has left me confused. But I am with Jai now and couldn’t be happier. He is everything I ever wanted, and he is a hottie to go with it” I said smiling. “I am sorry Simone, I just wanted to be sure you were that, happy” Jack said. I gave him a nod “I am more then happy Jack, and thank-you for been a great friend and worrying about me”. I said standing up and pulling Jack up next to me. I wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug. “I must get going to work” I said once we had pulled back “I have my own work to catch up on before I leave on a working holiday” I giggled. Jack looked at me confused “working holiday?” he questioned. “Oh Mel ran and asked me to take Ruby’s place on the cat walk while she was on her honey moon. Something about missing a top model and he couldn’t do without on” I replied rolling my eyes “I said yes, mostly because Jai will also be on that show. We decided to make a bit of a holiday from it” I said smiling. “I would to” Jack said grinning “make sure you have lots of fun” he said giving me another wink. “Oh we intend to” I said giving him a sly grin as I grabbed my bag “When I get home we need to organize a date” without waiting for a reply I kept talking “Bye Jack” I called over my shoulder as I headed out the door smiling. It was 10.30 when a knock came at my office door “come in” I called, stretching in my chair, I watched the door open. A pair of legs came in, the face hidden behind a huge bunch of flowers. “Are you Simone?” came the voice behind the flowers. “Yes, I am she” I replied. “These are for you, came the voice, as they put the flowers down. “Oh thank-you” I said giving the little man that put the flowers down a big smile. “You are more then welcome sweetie” he said returning my smile before leaving my office. I pulled the card from the middle of the flowers and read the message: “To my Kitten. These I hope these brighten your day. Love your Jai” I leaned in and smelt the flowers, my heart doing flip flops. Walking over to my desk I rang his mobile. “Hello Kitten” he greeted me after a few rings. “thank-you for the flowers they are beautiful” I gushed “you are such a darling”. “I am glad you like them Simone” he replied “but I am sure they aren’t as beautiful as you”. I giggled at his response “So when are you coming to lunch?” I asked. “How’s now sound?” he asked walking though my door. Laughing I dropped the phone and ran into his arms, hugging him tight. “You liked them that much?” Jai asked with a wicked grin “if I get this kind of response from flowers remind me next time to do something bigger” he laughed, before molding my body to his to give me a searing kiss.

Chapter Thirty-six WARNING: Chapter contains adult scenes . A big thanks to Colada for letting me use her self sim for this chapter!“Can you believe this is where we met?” Jai asked pulling me into his arms in the hotel in Hawaii, a week later. “Well it wasn’t in this room” I said with a teasing tone. “Oh no, don’t you look at me like that” I said trying to pull out of Jai’s strong grip. “Like what” he asked innocently. “No” I yelled with a laugh as his fingers started to move slowly over my sides to tickle me. “What am doing” he asked straight faced. “Jai….stop….” I said desperate for a breath through my tears of laughter. “Only if you kiss me” Jai said not letting up. I let go of his hands and pulled his head to mine and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “There is your kiss” I said managing to break out of his arms. He gave me a look to kill. “Oh bugger” I said in mock terror. Laughing I made a run for the bedroom and was just about to shut the door behind me, when his strong arms wrapped around my waist and lifted me off the ground and pressed my back into his hard chest. “Not so fast kitten” he whispered in my ear. “I still want that kiss”. “well put me down, so I can turn around” I said giggling. Jai put me slowly back on my feet. I turned my head and gave him a cheeky grin and went to make a run for it again. This time I wasn’t fast enough, his arms grabbed my waist again, as he turned my body and before I could protest his lips met mine in a soft kiss. Not minding one bit I moved closer to him as our kiss turned more passionate. Groaning he picked me back up, my breasts meshed to his hard chest he walked me over to the bed and lay me softly on the mattress. Pulling off my top his hands kneaded my breasts. Moaning I arched my back as his mouth left mine, trailing hot kisses down my neck he moved his mouth and suckled on one of my nipples, while his hand found the juncture between my legs. “Jai…please” I moaned. He gave me a little laugh and left me for a few minutes to pull off my jeans and remove his own clothes. He joined me minutes later, covering my body with his he took me to unbelievable heights. “Where are you stationed tonight?” I asked Jai as I snuggled next to him in bed. He gave me a slow smile. “Out the back with all the…..models” he grinned “I get to perv on you when you are changing. Butt naked in front of me, now that’s what I call a job” Jai said laughed as I slapped him playfully. “Talking about jobs” I said looking at the clock “we better get ready to go” I said kissing his chest. “Cant we lay here all day?” Jai whined. “What and miss out on me changing and been butt naked in front of you” I teased. “Oh well if you put it that way” Jai said jumping out of bed causing me to laugh. “Come on lazy bones. The sooner we are there the sooner I get to see you naked” he laughed. An hour later we were at the venue. “I will see you soon” Jai said giving me a kiss and a knowing wink before he walked off to find his boss. I laughed, watching him walk away I took in his strong back and sighed to myself. ‘Such a nice ass’ I thought to myself as he left my view, I headed off to find Mel and see what I would be wearing for the show. After speaking to Mel I headed to hair and make-up when I heard a females voice. It wasn’t unusual to hear people talking and I usually ignored them, but for some reason I stopped to listen, and ended up been glad I did. “Why are you with her?” I heard Kate ask Jai “because she is beautiful, sweet and caring” Jai’s voice answered, as my heart went into my throat as I saw the picture of Bryon on the magazine kissing that girl. “So” Kate replied “I am all that and more. Why would you want her Jai when you can have me?” Jai didn’t answer her, with my eyes wide I moved so I could see them. The girl, Kate, was standing in front of Jai with her arms around his shoulders. “Because” Jai said reaching up and removing Kate’s hands “I love her”. I let got of the breath I had been holding. “But Jai” the Kate said shocked that he turned her down, I almost laughed at the expression on her face. Jai shook his head “Listen, I am not interested, I have a wonderful lady that cares for more then just herself. Now if you excuse me I have a job to do” he said setting her away from him and moving past her. Kate turned and watched him leave, more then just shock on her face. Laughing with happiness I ran past her after Jai. When I reached him I kissed him deeply. “What’s this for?” Jai asked me a little shocked. “Because I felt like it and because I love you” I replied with a smile. Jai looked at me utter happiness written on his face “I love you too Kitten” he said pulling me closer to him.

Chapter Thirty-sevenWarning to my male readers, the next few chapters contains ‘girly stuff!’“I cant be” I said to myself as I stared at the calendar on my desk, 4 weeks after Jai and I got back from our working holiday in Hawaii. I flicked back through the calendar again. It has been 5 weeks “I am never late I mumbled” my heart racing. I shook my head, I must have just been wrong. Convincing myself, I pushed my calendar aside and turned back to my computer, ignoring the nagging thought that I was correct. “ready to go home?” Cooper asked me, walking into my office. “Sorry, what did you say?” I asked him looking up from my computer in a daze. “Simone, you ok?” Cooper asked “You have been a bit lost all day”. I looked at him and forced the fog from my mind. “Ahh yeah. I am fine. Just thinking about the holiday is all” I replied with a small smile. Cooper looked at me worriedly for a few moments. “Cooper, I am fine. I swear” I said laughing. He nodded and finally returned my smile. As much as I love my best friend it was a relief not to explain my suspicions to him, when I wasn’t sure myself. “Can you give me 10 minutes” I asked Cooper “I want to make sure Jai is coming over tonight. I will meet you at the car”. He gave me a grin and nodded his head “no worries Simone” he said standing up and leaving me alone. When Cooper and I walked in we found Jai happily chatting to Jade at the kitchen table. “Hi Kitten” Jai stood up and walked over to me pulling me into his arms for a welcome kiss. “Why don’t you do that for me?” Cooper asked Jade with a pout. Jade rolled her eyes and laughed at her husband. “Cause I have been married to you to long” she laughed. Coopers face turned into mock hurt “Oh gem, that cut” he replied faking tears. “Oh Coops, I am sorry Jade said standing up and moved over to him. How can I make it better?” she giggled. Cooper looked at her and wiggled his eyebrows. “Cooper!” Jade said shocked as she turned her back on Coopers and looked at us. “Sorry” she said pulling a face. I had to hold back laughter and was about to answer her when Cooper swung her around and swung her over his shoulder. “We wont be long. The wife needs to be taught a lesson” he said teasingly as he patted Jades bum softly. Jai and I burst into fits of laughter as Cooper walked out of the kitchen, Jade still over his shoulder was shaking her head, a wide smile on her face. 10 minutes later she ran back into the kitchen, Cooper hot on her heals. He reached for her and missed. Laughing she sat on a chair in front of Jai and I and gave Cooer a cheeky smile. “Don’t think they will stop me my gem” he said indicating to Jai and I. “No I don’t suppose they will” she laughing “but I have a secret weapon”. “Oh and what would that be?” Cooper asked daringly. “Dakota, Austin, Indiana, Dallas” Jade yelled with a laugh. “Daddy’s home and wants a hug from you all at once”. Dallas and Indiana came running into the kitchen and held onto Coopers arms. “Daddy!” they both yelled. Dakota and Austin walked in moments later. “’Dad wants a hug” Jade said with a knowing look to them both. With a laugh from both of them Austin put his arms around his dads shoulders, while Dakota wrapped her arms around his waist. “ARRRRR” Cooper yelled with mock frustration “that was a dirty trick gem. Who wants to be ticked first” he asked his children. Dakota and Austin giggled and let go of him and moved a step back. The younger two looked at each other in happy terror then back at Cooper, neither of them letting go. With another yell Cooper lifted both his arms, pulling his children off the floor so they hung off his arms. “I will be back for the rest of you” he said walking out the door with two laughing children. “Its all fun and games till someone looses and eye” Jade said with a laugh at Coopers retreating back. “You started it” he yelled back “so you will be next”. “Like to see you try” she said with defiance, which got her another growl from the lounge and more laughter. “Jai do you mind if I ask you to follow that gorilla while I have a word to Simone?” She asked, looking at Jai. “Sure Jade” Jai said standing up with a smile, seconds later we heard another yell and more giggles. “While he is occupied for 10 minutes I wanted to talk you” Jade said looking at me “Jai is very much welcome here and both Cooper and I would like to let you know, if you wanted him to move in with you then its ok with us. And that goes for anytime. I am sure you will want to talk it over with Jai, but he is most welcome in our house anytime” Jade said smiling. “Oh I think I hear quiet” she said jumping off the chair. “Thank-you Jade” I said “it means a lot to me that he is welcome here”. Jades smile widened and she went to say more when Cooper appeared at the door. “You are mine now my gem “he said grinning. “Ah oh” Jade said before she sprinted out the other door, Cooper, Dallas and Indiana directly behind her.

Chapter Thirty-eight“Simone are you ok?” Jai asked me as we lay relaxing on my bed that night after dinner “you seemed really distracted tonight.” I looked at him and burst into tears. Jumping off the bed I walked away from him. He followed and turned me to him. “Simone, you can tell me anything. What is upsetting you, kitten?” he asked concerned. I took a deep breath “Jai I think I am pregnant!” I blurted out. Jai looked at me shocked “Your what?” he asked. “I am sorry” I said wiping away more tears “my period hasn’t come and I am never late. I can understand if you don’t want any more to do with me, but there is no way I am going to abort our child” I said stubbornly, as I watched him. He pulled me into his arms and hugged me close. “Simone, first of all there is no way I would ever walk out on you, I love you so much. I am just shocked. I am going to be a dad” he whispered in my ear happily. I pulled from his arms and took in his smiling face. “Really?” I said quietly “even thought we didn’t plan this and a baby will change out lives forever?” I asked. “Simone more then anything I want you to have our children, and if you aren’t pregnant this time, promise me that when you are ready we can have lots of them, all girls so they can be a beautiful as their mum!” he said honestly. “Oh Jai” I said throwing my arms around him. “I was so scared you would hate me for getting pregnant” I sobbed into his shoulder. “Kitten, I could never be angry with you, ever” he said kissing away my tears “just don’t ever think you have to do anything by yourself anymore. I am here with you. Your pain is mine” he said lifting my face to his. I gave him a watery nod and smile. “’good now with that out of the way, when will you know for sure if you are going to make me a dad?” he asked hopefully. “’Well I am a week late” so I guess I can take a pregnancy test now and we will know for sure” I replied. “Really?!” Jai asked excitedly. Laughing I nodded “yes”. “Will you do one tomorrow, I am just about bursting to know” he said. I giggled, his laughter infectious “yes honey, but to be completely sure I will make an appointment with the doctor and get a blood test done, but that will take a few days. Until then it’s the waiting game” I said shrugging. “Ok. I guess I can hold myself together until then” Jai smiled, before he turned serious. “I guess this is a good time as any” he said loosing his smile. “I have been looking for the perfect time to do this, and there were of course plenty, but I wanted it to be remembered by the both of us, and now that you have given me the gift, of possibly been a dad I want to ask you something”. I looked at him and nodded “ok” I said confused as he got down on one knee, my tears started up again this time in happiness. “Simone Jessica Ford will you marry me” Jai asked as he pulled a small box from his pocket and opened it up. I stared at him, my mouth dropping open as I looked at the beautiful ring inside, then back at his worried face. “Yes” I breathed quietly “I would love to be your wife” I said. Jai stood up pulling me high into his arms. Laughing he set me back on my feet to give me a long deep kiss. “Jai why do you have your own apartment?” I asked him, my lips tingling from our last kiss. He looked at me and started to frown. Laughing I didn’t give him a chance to speak. “Move in with me, here. You practically live here anyway. Lets make it official”. Jai’s eyes widened “Really Simone? You really want to live with me?” he asked. Laughing I nodded my head “Jai, of course I want to live with you. You are my world, and now my fiancé” I said with a grin as I looked at the ring glittering on my finger. “Then its my turn to say YES kitten, I would love to move in with you” he grinned picking me up for the 2nd time that night, this time he didn’t put me down, but carried me to the bed.

Chapter Thirty-nineTwo days later my periods came. I cried in Jai’s arms all night, he sat soothing me. “Kitten its ok. I love you so much and there is plenty of time for us to have children”. “But I feel like I failed you Jai” I said sobbing. “Simone look at me” Jai said lifting my face “I love you, and I am a jealous man. As much as I want children with you, as much as I want to see your belly swell with my child, I am glad to be able to have you all to myself for a while longer. To be able to be selfish and steal you away for picnics or dinner dates when ever I want to. Don’t ever think you have failed me Kitten, because you never could” he said wiping away my tears. I gave him a small smile “I want your children Jai, promises we can start soon” I asked. Jai bent his head to mine and kissed me softly “Kitten I told you when ever you were ready to have children then I would be to. You only ever have to give the word”. I sighed happily and snuggled into him. “Can we try now? I really would like the practice” I asked looking into his eyes. He groaned and his kisses turned more passionate. The next 3 months flew by. Jai and I spent as much time as we could with each other, neither one of us able to keep the hands of the other Ruby and Saxson came back from their honey moon, but that didn’t stop Mel asking me to do modeling jobs for him. I said yes more often then not, because Jai was at most of them. I loved working with him, and he would do everything he could to get out the back to watch me naked, as he would always say, making me laugh every time. I never got to meet his parents as his mother died when Jai was 15 and his father lost his will to live 12 months later. He never failed to spoil me, sending flowers and setting up romantic picnics during my lunch hour. He was also one step ahead of me and I was never able to surprise him as he did with me until one day. I had my suspicions that something was different with my body, so I made an appointment with the doctor, the test came back 3 days later. I couldn’t wipe the smile from my face. I still remember Jai’s face when I told him I was pregnant and he was going to be a dad. I never knew a face could light up that much. “Kitten, wake up” Jai said kissing me awake 4 days after I told him I was pregnant. “Are you awake?” he asked looking at me. I gave him a soft grin “Yes honey, I am awake”. “Good” he replied “its time to get up and get ready for work” he said kissing my face “Kitten, I want you to come home early tonight. I have a surprise for you” He said grinning like a little kid. “OH really” I exclaimed “what is it?” Jai laughed and shook his head “No, you will find out tonight. I will have it all set up and ready. So the sooner you go to work my love the sooner you will come home” he said pulling me from the bed. “ok” I said laughing, before he kissed me. Letting me go moments later, he slapped my butt as I walked for the shower. I spent the entire day going over what the surprise would be. Jai never told me before that he had one for me so I knew it would be big. I could barley wait for the afternoon to come around, and for once I rushed Cooper out the door, much to his amusement. Jai wasn’t home when we got in. Grinning I sat down on the couch resting my hands over my belly thinking about our child growing inside of me, I smiled at how special Jai was and all the lovely things he has done for me, when a knock came at the door. I jumped up with a giggle, knowing it would be Jai. I swung the door open and lost my smile. Standing in font of me were two uniformed police officers. “Simone Ford?” one of them asked. “Yes” I frowned, my heart racing. “Miss Ford I am afraid we have some terrible news. If we could come inside please and get you to sit down” he said calmly. “What’s happened? Is it mum?” I cried. The officer shook his head “Please Miss Ford” he pleaded. “NO” I yelled franticly “I want to know what you want. NOW”. The office that spoke to me sighed “Miss Ford I regret to inform you that your next of kin, Fiancé Jai Alex Philips has passed away. A truck collided with his car on the gateway motorway. The ambulance officers were unable to revive him and he died at the scene of the accident. We are very sorry Miss Ford”. I stood staring at them, unable to think or breathe. “No” I whispered “he isn’t dead. He has a surprise for me and he wanted me home early” I pleaded. “We are sorry Miss Ford” the other office said. I looked at them both and didn’t really see them all I could feel was the pain in my chest and my legs giving way as I crumbled to the floor. All I could see was Jai smiling face that morning waking me up and kissing me good morning. I looked up at the officers and started crying when Coopers voice came from behind me somewhere. I looked at him talking not hearing the words. “He’s dead” I whispered “my beloved, the one I care deeply for, the father of my baby is dead and I never got to say good bye” I said through tears.

(editors note: I would just like to say I didn’t kill Jai cause I didn’t like him, matter-of-fact, I loved him. But I needed drama for the story. When it came time to ‘kill’ the sim I couldn’t do it, so there wont be any pics of the funeral, etc. Jai is very much alive in my game, and I would like to say thanks to Dizzy again for making him. To anyone that found this chapter sad, there is a box of tissues waiting for you)

Chapter Forty“Simone I have something I need to show you” Cooper said to me from the door way of my room in the main house, 3 days after we buried Jai. I looked at Cooper with glazed eyes, not really seeing him. Lost in my thoughts of the day I said my last good bye to my love. The funeral home was packed out with people who loved and respected Jai. I remember seeing a lot of faces that day, but the only one I looked for was Jai. Refusing to believe he would never hug me or kiss me again. Refusing to believe he would never see his child grow. Refusing to believe that I would never again be able to tell him I love him. I kept expecting him to walk through the door and tell me it was a horrible joke. I wanted to hear his voice again, most of all I wanted to hug him, just one more time. “Simone?” Cooper said walking into the room. “Sorry Cooper” I said wiping away fresh tears. “Simone you have nothing to be sorry for” he replied “I have said it before, and will again. Jade, I and the kids are here for you. If there is anything, anything at all you need, or even if you want to talk, we are never far away”. I gave Cooper a cheerless smile and sighed. “There is something you want to show me?” I asked him, trying to show him some interest, though my heart wasn’t in it. Cooper nodded “Follow me”. He said waiting for me to get off the bed. Taking my hand he walked me to the room across from mine. I looked at him and frowned “Cooper there is nothing in this room. Its an empty spare room. What are you showing me? A wall?” He gave me a grin and opened the door, and pulled me inside. Turning away from him I looked around the room. The walls were painted yellow, with a teddy bear border. At one wall there was a wooden cot, next to it was a rocking chair in the same wood. On the wall across from them stood a chest of draws. The draws had the same teddy bear print as the walls. I looked at Cooper, my frown growing. Cooper gave me a small smile. “It was to be your surprise, the night Jai died, this is what he was going to show you. He had been working on it since he found out about the baby. He needed help with the walls, but swore me to secrecy. He made the cot, draws and rocking chair with his own hands. Carved them from one very large piece of wood. He was starting on a change table next. He was going to finish it before surprising you. But he was bursting with excitement to show you. He did it while you were at work or in the middle of the night when you were fast asleep”. I felt my chest constricting as I walked over to the chair and touched it lightly, as I felt the small carvings on little teddy bears he had made in it. I burst into tears and looked at Cooper. “Why was he out then? If the surprise was here, why did he have to be in the car that day? Why did he have to die?” I asked between sobs. “Because of this” Cooper said stepping aside and pointing to a big brown toy teddy bear, with a green shirt on the floor. “They found this sitting on the back seat, a seat belt strapped over it. He rushed out to get it, from the toy maker. One thing he wasn’t able to make himself. He got a call the night before letting him know it was ready. Jade was helping his set up the room before he left, he looked at the time and realized you would be home soon. She said he tore out of the house like a bat out of hell. He wanted this to be special for you Simone. I am sorry he wasn’t able to show you any of this himself. He was so very proud of his work, but even prouder of you. That you were giving him the family he always dreamed of having” Cooper said walking over to me and hugging me tight. “Thank-you for showing this to me Cooper” I said returning his hug. “I don’t mean to be rude” I started to say. Cooper nodded and interrupted me “No, I understand Simone, you want to be alone for a while. I wont be far, if you need me just call”. I thanked my friend and watched the door close after him. I took another look around the room and fell down next to the bear. “Why did this have to come out without a scratch Jai” I said to the walls “and you…..you….” I burst into tears unable to finish.

Chapter Forty-one“Call me as soon as you land” Jack said giving me a tight hug good bye “and don’t forget I will be over in a few weeks”. I gave him a watery smile and a nod as he let me go. Cooper stepped up to me and took my hands in his. “When you come back you will always have a place with Jade, I and the kids” he said sadly pulling me into his arms and hugging me just as hard as Jack did moments earlier “Thanks Cooper. I don’t know how to say thank you enough for everything you have done” I replied to him. Looking at the others standing behind him I gave them the biggest smile I could muster. “It isn’t good bye everyone. Just see you later. I will miss ever single one of you”. I felt tears pricking my eyes as I looked at them all each in turn. I didn’t want to forget any of their faces. I took a breath as a last call came over the PA system for my flight. I looked behind me at the air hostess who was waiting patiently for us. “I love you all” I said to my friends, but I really should go”. I got some sad nods as I felt a hand on my waist. I looked at my mum and nodded, turning with her we headed for the gangway. “Its not to late to change your mind and stay with them. They all love you, and will help with the baby when it comes” mum said to me quietly “and you know, no matter where you are I will come to you for the birth”. I turned to look at them one more time as I felt the tears starting to form again, I shook my head and continued walking. Once we were seated I looked out the window not really seeing anything as I remembered the conversation I had with them all a few days before. We were all sitting in the lounge room when I told them all I was going home with mum. I needed to find myself, I hadn’t done that since college. I always had someone with me. At Uni there was Cooper, then when I came here I had them all. I never knew how attractive I was till Jack changed my appearance and Ruby talked me into modeling. Then after that I was with Jai. It wouldn’t be forever. I need my mum when the baby comes. Every single one of you are amazing, and have been for the entire time I have been here and I know that you would have been a great help to me if I stayed. But I need to do it on my own for a while. Jack promised me he would fly over after a few weeks to see how both the baby and I were doing. I couldn’t ask for a sweeter best friend. “Are you ok Simone” Mum asked touching my arm and pulling me out of my thoughts. I gave her a nod and turned back to the window. The hardest part about leaving, was leaving behind Jai’s grave and the memories I had of him that came with the house. The day I decided I sat next to his head stone for hours, just thinking and asking him for help. I will never be sure if he heard me or not. Part of me hoped so. I felt mum take my hand as the plane moved down the run way and up into the air. I didn’t look at her just stared out the window, saying a silent good bye as the hot tears I had been holding back rolled down my face.

Chapter Forty-twoWaking up a month after I left, I stretched and expected to hear children’s voices. It took me a moment to remember where I was. With a sigh I got out of bed and headed for the shower, then down to the kitchen for breakfast. Mum was sitting at the table sipping a coffee when I walked in. “Morning Darling” she greeted me. “Hi Mum” I said returning her greeting. “Don’t you have an Ultra sound today?” she asked. I gave her a nod and touched my still flat 4 month belly. “I can find out the sex of the baby today as well”. “Really?” She asked a little shocked, technology had come along way since she had Claudia and I. “Are you going to?” she asked. “Part of me wants to, I want to know if I am having a girl. Jai wanted a girl” I said sadly, the conversation we had coming back to me. “the other part of me wants it to be a surprise”. “Will you tell me if you find out?” mum asked. I looked at her and a giggle slipped out. Putting my hand to my mouth I stopped it as tears pricked my eyes. “Oh Simone, Its ok to laugh. Jai would want to see you happy” mum said getting off the chair and hugging me. I nodded wiping away the tears. “I know mum, but how can I laugh when my heart feels like its torn to shreds. I don’t want to laugh knowing he cant laugh with me”. Mum looked at me sadly. “Simone just because you can’t hear or see him doesn’t mean he isn’t with you. Feeling sad when you do. Happy when you are and laughing with you. A laugh doesn’t mean you have forgotten him. Tell me, when he was alive and you were upset. What did he do?” She questioned. “He made me laugh. He used to pull stupid stunts or tell me stories of his childhood until he got a smile out of me” I replied smiling at the memories. “Simone honey, just because he has passed on doesn’t mean he wants to see you unhappy. He was happiest when you were. So don’t stop the giggles honey” Mum said giving me another hug. I gave her a small nod. After a quick breakfast I gave mum a kiss on the cheek and headed to the hospital. I sat there watching my baby moving around on the screen and sucking its thumb, all I could wish was for Jai to be here and see his child. There was nothing more awesome seeing their little feet and hands. “Would you like to know the sex of the baby” the lady who was doing the scan asked me. I looked at her and shook my head. “No I want the surprise” I said with a smile. She smiled back and gave me a small nod before turning back to her own screen. I was on a semi high when I left the hospital and for the first time since Jai died I felt really excited about the pending birth of my child. Looking down the street I saw a baby shop. Not really wanting to go home I headed for it as I remembered mums words, that even though all I had at the moment was a tiny pot belly, she said to expect to pop any day and would need maternity clothes. I looked down at my belly and rubbed it lovingly. Looking back up I saw a pair of expressive brown eyes and black hair. The man smiled at me, like Jai used to as he walked past. My heart leapt into my throat. “Jai?” I mouthed as I turned around and watched the mans back walking away from me. “JAI?” I yelled after him as I stared off at a run for him. Grabbing his shoulder I stepped in front of him. “Can I help you” he asked confused at my actions. I looked back into his face. His eyes weren’t brown as I first thought, they were blue. “Oh…I am sorry” I said flustered “I thought you were someone else”. He smiled again “No worries”. He said before continuing on his way. I watched him leaving a burst into tears. “Why couldn’t that be Jai” I sobbed to myself. “Id give anything to have him back”. (a HUGE thanks to my best friend for letting me use the ultra sound photo of JB)

Chapter Forty-three(please excuse the fact Simone is wearing different clothes. Its been ages since I took pics and I forgot what she was wearing. Opps) (Bryon’s thoughts) “You are dropping of samples at the hospital today aren’t you Bryon?” my work mate and friend Seth asked me as I cleaned up my station. “Yeah mate I am. They have news for us on the latest results, and need to be picked up. Why did you want to go instead?” I asked him. He shook his head “Na, but I have something things that need to be dropped off at the lab on Edgings street. I know its out of your way a bit, but would you mind dropping it off on the way to the hospital. They rang this morning and have an opening” he asked me. I rolled my eyes and nodded. “Sure Seth, but I will need to go soon. I am dying to see the results of the last test” I replied. “Give me 10 minutes, and I will have it ready for you” Seth said rushing off to the next room, as I sent laughter after him. “Did you drop it off” Seth asked me over the phone 20 minutes later. “Oh I have bad news Seth” I said seriously, hiding my laugh as I teased him. “I dropped it and it spilled everywhere making a hole to china”. “Oh” Seth said with shock, his voice dropping in worry “I guess I can make it again”. Not been able to hold back anymore I started laughing. “Seth, relax mate. They are with the lab, safe and sound”. Seth sighed with relief. “Thanks Bryon” he said happily”. “No worries mate” I said still laughing “but you need to learn to lighten up. Oh just reminding you I wont be back till tomorrow, the boss wants me to take the rest of the day off. Something about working too many late nights”. This time it was Seth’s turn to laugh “Bryon he is right. Take the afternoon off and go find a girlfriend. You work more then anyone here. There is a rumor going around that you don’t have a life.” He said teasingly. “Bye Seth” I said firmly and hung up with a laugh. Rolling my eyes I put my mobile into my pocket and walked out the main doors of the hospital and looked at the hot red head sitting on one of the chairs available. She had her head in her hands. She looked familiar to me. Shrugging it off I went to walk past her when she let out an almighty sob. I stopped in my tracks and took a closer look at her. “Simone?” I asked sitting down. She lifted her head of her hands and looked up at me, her eyes red and her face tear streaked. I had never seen her like this before. “Simone what are you doing here?” I questioned her. Last I heard she was still in America with Jade and Cooper, I had also been told the terrible news about her fiancé Jai. She sighed as tears continued to roll down her face. I sat down next to her and pulled her into my arms, and held her as she cried. “I…I….I thought I saw…Jai” she said between sobs. “I really wanted it to be him Bryon” she said burring her head into my shoulder. “But it wasn’t, it was some stranger, with the same smile as him. Why does it hurt so much?” she asked me. “Simone, I …I don’t know how to answer that” I said my heart tearing for her. I felt her nod against my shoulder. “I know” she mumbled her tears subsiding. “Bryon I don’t want my mum to see me like this” she said looking up at me. I nodded and pulled her off the chair. “Come on my place isn’t far from here. I will take you there to get cleaned up and bring you back here for your car” I said to her. She gave me a small nod and walked next to me, not letting go of my hand till she was seated in the car. She sat staring out of the window silent tears rolling down her face. We got to my house 10 minutes later. Showing her to my bathroom I left her along for a few minutes to gather her thoughts and clean up. When she wasn’t out 20 minutes later I went to find her. She was sitting on the floor. “Simone” I said softly hunching down in front. She looked at me and burst into fresh tears, her little body racking with sobs. Leaning up against the bath I pulled her into my lap, and pushed the hair away from her face. I made soothing noises as I rubbed her back. She put her head on my shoulder and let her tears spill forth wetting my shirt. Looking down I tilted up her chin so I could look into her eyes. She went to speak but nothing came out. Not sure what to say myself I bent my head and put my lips to hers in a soft kiss. “Bryon” she moaned into my mouth. I stood up taking her with me. Moving back wards toward the bed I pulled off her top, while she unbuttoned mine. Well fell onto the bed in a fit of passion, each of us tearing at the rest of our clothes in a hurry. After making wild love we fell asleep in each others arms.

BLAH...that took me forever, to re-load BA. TNANKS everyone for been so patient with me. Things have been really chaotic at home. With us all getting used to a baby been in the house. SORRY it took me so long and again thanks :rose: .Chapter Forty-four
I grinned as I woke up and felt a hand across my hips and a hard warm body next to me. Its not Jai my mind screamed. I opened my eyes in realization. I looked over to the person next to me and took in the red hair, the night before rushing back to me, it was indeed not Jai, but Bryon next to me. Slowing my breathing down I looked across him to the bedside clock, 5.30am it flashed. I turned my head to the other side, blinking the last of sleep from my eyes, as I tried to focus on the window to astatine weather the sun was up or not through the thick curtains. Bryon moaned in his sleep and tightened his arm around me. I held my breath waiting for him to wake up, my heart was racing, as I didn’t want him to wake up and have an awkward conversation. I gave a small sigh of relief as his breathing deepened once again. Holding my breath I moved Bryon’s arm off my hips. He groaned once again in his sleep and turned over. Letting go of my breath I slid out of bed and quietly gathered my clothes. Heading out to his lounge room I put them back on. Hearing a noise my breath caught in my throat, when nothing more came from it I slipped out his front door. “I cant believe I did that. I just lost my fiancé and I am carrying his baby” I scolded my self as I walked down the street. “What was I thinking. What will he think of me? How could I forget Jai like that?! Even for one minute and fall into another mans arms like that. Especially with Bryon of all people. He cheated on me and I fall into his arms, the moment I loose control of my life. Curse my body for reacting to his innocent touch. It has been years since we were together, how can I still feel that tingle?!” I got to the hospital still talking to myself not believing how stupid I had been. “You ok love” the lady in the nurses uniform ask me. I gave her a nod and a smile. “Yes I am fine thank-you” I replied. She returned my smiled before turning away to finish her cigarette. Feeling a little bit silly for been caught talking to myself I hurried off, not waiting around for her to say anymore. Getting in my car I let out a huge sigh. ‘Thank-god Bryon doesn’t know my number or where I live anymore’ I thought to myself as I started the engine of the car and drove out of the hospital car park ‘I feel so foolish’ kept going though my head as I drove home. Before I knew it I was pulling into mums drive way. I put my hand to my mouth in terror. “I feel like I have cheated on Jai. I am as bad as Bryon was. How can I get over him that fast, its just not possible. Jai never liked Bryon, because of what he did to me, why on earth would I do something so stupid and destroy Jai’s good memory and run into Bryon’s arms? I was still lost in thought when Mum came to my car window. I looked up to see mum standing there giving me a funny look. I gave her a quick smile and opened the door. “Are you ok Simone, honey?” she asked me. I gave her a nod. “Yes, just thinking about things” I replied, as I put my arm around her waist, as we walked back inside. I didn’t want to tell her what I was thinking about, I felt so guilty. “Simone did you hear me?” mum asked pulling me from my thoughts once again. “Sorry mum, no I didn’t” I said giving her my full attention. “I know you are an adult and I don’t set rules for you anymore, but if you are going to stay out all night, just give me a call next time honey. I was a little worried about you” mum said to me sternly. “Oh mum, I am sorry. I didn’t mean to stay out, just things happened.” “Simone, its fine. You don’t need to explain anything to me, just call next time” She said giving my shoulder a small squeeze. I gave her a nod and let her waist go as I opened the front door. “So did you find out the sex of my grandchild” she asked as she stepped threw the door. I shook my head “No I want the surprise, but I have been thinking of some names” I replied. “Oh tell me over a coffee” she said walking into the kitchen. I followed her in and sat down at the table, and told her the names I had in mind. (Bryon’s thoughts) I woke up to my alarm going off next to me. 7.30am it flashed, I turned over and saw an empty bed next to me. Sighing and shaking my head I threw back the sheets and headed for the shower. ‘Why does she always do that’ I thought to myself as I turned on the Fawcett in the shower. ‘she never gives me a chance to explain what happened with that girl in the club. So why cant I just give up on her, like she did me. I felt a little used’. Getting dressed and having a quick breakfast I headed for work. Knowing my boss would go nuts at me for being there, as I was meant to be on holidays, but I was so close in my research, I couldn’t leave it now. I stepped into the building and greeted the receptionist, before heading to the lifts. Pressing the number for my office, the lift started to move up, and I lost myself in thoughts of the night before, when there was an enormous bang. The lift shuddered and stopped. My thoughts went flying from my mind as I stepped towards the buttons and emergency phone. As I moved my feet I heard one of cables snap above my head, there was a creak and groan and dust and panels from the ceiling of the elevator came flying in. Beginning to panic, I tried pulling at the door that housed the phone. Panicking more as it was stuck I started yelling for help. The lift started screaming as the last cable started to give way. It took so little time and before I knew it, my stomach was in my throat as the lift and I were plummeting to the ground, and no doubt to my death.

Hey Kate, you responded first! Ok, that has to be the ... scariest endings of all time! I mean, I know it's rare and all, but whoa. I think. My uncle knew someone at work (while the guy was at work), that was in an elevator when it fell to the ground. He broke his back and became paralyzed* (I know horrible spelling). Simone, I think, should have left like she did.... don't give him another chance!!!!!!!!
