That was waaaaaaaaaaaay [particularly for my Ruby] emotional, especially.............  so what about DJ and CJ” Brax grinned “Darryl Junior and Charlie Junior. And that’ll work for boy and a girl or for two boys” Brax grinned. Charlie sighed lightly as she reached out and hit his arm. “Be serious” “I was” Brax said. “Then no” Charlie shook her head. “You know this would be easier if you knew what you were having” Xavier said before he took a drink of his beer. “But we know” Jacob said seriously. “She aving babies” The adults all laughed at the little boys comment. “No laugh at me” “I’ve always liked Imogen and Lucy for girls. Rory and Zack for boys” Ruby smiled. “Aww I like Imogen” Charlie smiled.  “Yeah, so far” Charlie smiled “We still have time to think, and you know maybe when we see the babies the right names will just come to us”  “It’s long enough for us to decide to have a baby of our own” Brax said “I mean surely that’s shows a bigger commitment to each other than any marriage ever would and technically, if you add on the 8 months we were dating before I went to jail we’ve been together nearer two and half years”  Ruby sat on the couch trying to find something to watch on the TV. It was 2.07am, so chances were that there wouldn’t be much on. “Hey, whatya doing?” Brax asked as he walked into the living room as he yawned. “I couldn’t sleep” Ruby sighed “My mind is in overdrive. Things just keep going around in my head” “Oh dear” Ruby said “Well lucky for you I bought my snake zapper with me” “Yeah?” Brax smiled and Ruby nodded. “Yip” Ruby said “Tomorrow, Jakey and I shall be zapping the snakes away”  “No no no no no” Ruby shook her head “Brax, don’t you ever let Mum here you say that. You need to get up for them too” “But I don’t have the equipment” Brax argued “Or I would” “Please Brax, to spare yourself a lot of lectures and moaning from Mum, just get up with her or offer to feed them with expressed milk, or hold one while she feeds the other, I don’t know how you are going to work it, but my only bit of parenting advice to you is get up during the night”  Oh” Ruby bowed her head down sadly. Brax hadn’t included her in this picture. She was going to be these kids’ siblings too, but he didn’t seem to acknowledge that. “Yeah” Brax grinned, not seeming to notice Ruby’s change in mood. “I’m even looking into adopting Jacob” Brax smiled “We’ll be a proper little family after that” Ruby smiled lightly before she faked a yawn. “Sounds lovely” Ruby forced a smile. “But I’m going to go to bed. Goodnight” Ruby said as she jumped up from the couch and walked quickly out of the room as the tears began to roll down her cheeks.

ADORED that !!!!!!!, especially.............  Charlie smiled as Jacob climbed up onto her knee, although her bump was starting to get in the way of this. “Hey, Jake, are you not going to sit in your own seat?” “No” Jacob shook his head as he gave Bianca a quick gaze, before looking back at Charlie. “I sit here” “Aw but you’re a big boy” Charlie said “Don’t you want to sit on your own seat?” Jacob glanced at Bianca once more before looking up to his Mother and whispering in her ear. “No” Charlie tried to hold back a laugh. “She’s not going to make you go live with her”  “How about I buy you some orange juice and a nice big piece of chocolate cake?” “And a pack of chips” Jacob grinned and Bianca looked to Charlie who nodded. “Sounds fair” Bianca smiled, just as Leah walked over to take their order. “Oh Charlie, you are getting bigger every time I see you” “No” Jacob shook his head “Mummy no like it” Leah looked up to Charlie confused. “You no keep saying she is big”  “Orange juice and chocolate cake and a packet of chips” Jacob grinned “Mummy what’s the kind I get?”  “Well how am I supposed to know if I need to buy cute little dresses or little dungaree suits or one of each of those or what?” Bianca sighed. “Seriously Charlie, sometimes you really need to think about others”  “Because it looks so fricken cute” Bianca gushed. “Maybe you think so” Charlie said “But I’ll not be doing it” “Not even if they are identical?” Bianca questioned. “Even less likely if they are identical” Charlie answered “They are different people so I will be dressing them differently” “Well I’m still going to buy you the same outfits for them if they are two girls or two boys” “That’s fine” Charlie said “Doesn’t mean I need to have them wear it at the same time” “Yeah Bee-Bee it dunt mean she has to dress them the same time” Jacob said as he looked up to Bianca before he stuck his tongue out cheekily.  “Oh fine then I’ll just go home instead of driving for 2 hours to see my Mum and Jakey and Brax” “No no” Charlie shook her head “Of course you can come visit. It was just a surprise that’s all. If you told me I could have had a nice dinner prepared” Charlie said and Ruby looked at her Mother as she pulled a face, thinking of Charlie’s cooking. “Oi” Charlie lightly hit her daughters arm “I didn’t say I’d be doing the cooking. Brax would have done it” “Oh well in that case, it would have been lovely” Ruby laughed.  but I want a girl. I really want a girl” “Well it’s not as if you don’t have a girl already” Ruby said as she smiled up at her Mother. “I know, but I never got the chance to be a proper Mother to you” Charlie said “I didn’t raise you from the get go, and I’d really love the chance to raise a girl. Especially after having Jacob, it’d be nice to get some pink in this house again. Jakey and Brax are all about soccer or footie and fighting and silly boy’s games” “What if she is a tomboy who hates pink and girly things?” Ruby laughed. “Well for the first few years, I get to decide what she wears, so she’ll like it” Charlie said before she laughed.  “You don’t need to give us up” Charlie said “We’ll always be here. And the times that you do see us, it’ll be all the more special” “Yeah, that’s true” Ruby grinned “I think I really want this”

ADORED that !!!!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaay funny , especially.............  Morag, “Oh for the love of Jesus, no just no.” Liam, “But you……” Morag, Oh my is that the time? I just, just have some……….some……….important filing I have to do somewhere very far away from here. OH AND DEXTER GET UP FROM OFF THE FLOOR I THINK RUDOLPH POOED THERE.” Dex, “Coffee beans? Oh no April you didn’t?” April, “What Sid won’t miss them.” Dex, “April these are my Dad’s prize winning coffee beans, you stole them from him.”  Sid, “Oh no these can be very dangerous they will keep the person wired for hours, but the come down is very depressing indeed.” Ruby, “What happens if we need you Santa in case those Rivertrolls drop by?” Santa, “Text me” Sid, “Oh you mean text Santa?” Santa, “Yes” Morag, “What will that cost?” Santa, “Oh I don’t know but with it being Christmas Eve it won’t be cheap.”  Brax, “To sit on your lap.”  Martha, “Go boys go and cause some mischief. I will distract everyone with some of my magical exotic pole dancing.” Liam, “Yeah one of those evil Rivertrolls kept selling them to me, until I ended up addicted, had to go to elf rehab.”  Liam, “Good job I have my wits about me now because if I wasn’t a smart little elf I would say your one of those RiverTrolls.”  Snowman, “No silly I cant believe you don’t remember me. I mean you killed me shot me in fact.  Jack, “Yep that would be me, well seeing Belle brought me back with her magic fairly dust and I have been in witness protection ever since.”

ADORED that !!!!!!!, especially.............  “Well, I do.Kind of.I mean, he’s not a mean boss or anything.He smiles and he’s polite.And then he asks me to go on the coffee run or do some filing.He hardly ever lets me near any of the cases, he never lets me see any of the clients…Morag trusted me with stuff, she asked my opinion on things, she let me take on small cases.And now it’s like I’m his secretary.”  “Sorry, I haven’t even asked you how your day was.Everything okay at the garage?” Ric forced a smile onto his face.“Yeah, couldn’t be better.”  “Nope,”replied Sasha sullenly from where she was sat reading a magazine,“Apparently uni students have to work later than lifeguards.”  Sasha glared at him.“Well, you try being surrounded by happy couples all the time when you’ve got no friends.” “Have you tried to make friends?” “What’s the point?I’ll be finished at school at the end of the year.” Xavier stared at her in silence for a few moments.“Look, you can sit here alone if you want but if you want to get to know the rest of us…” “I’ll let you know,”Sasha replied, returning her attention to her magazine.  Ruby looked at him hard.“You’re hiding something from me.” “No, I’m not,”Romeo claimed, avoiding her gaze and concentrating on his food. “Romeo, tell me what is going on,”Ruby insisted. Romeo put his cutlery down and looked at her.“Well, I was going to wait until dessert but…”He got up, producing a jewellery box from his back pocket and went down on one knee in front of her.He opened the box up to reveal a ring. Ruby looked at it agog, eyes wide open.“Oh…my…god.” “Ruby Buckton, will you marry me?” Ruby gave a scream of delight, flung her arms round him and kissed him enthusiastically.“Oh wow!I… yes!Yes, I’ll marry you!” Romeo got to his feet and slipped the engagement ring onto her finger.Ruby stared at it in wonder for a few seconds before throwing her arms round him again.He hugged her back, lifting her off her feet, the happiness on both their faces conveying more than words could say.

LOOOVED that, especially.............  “Woah, hang on, back up.Xavier?When did you two get back together?” April seemed surprised at the comment.“We’re not.” “But you’re going to the movies with him?” “Yes, as friends.” “Then why is it so important what you wear?” April floundered for a moment.“Because…I’m going to the movies and I want to look my best.For me, not for Xavier.I don’t get a chance to dress up much these days, what with uni and coursework.” “Okay, but why are you going with Xavier?” “Because, well, he’s a friend.”April paused, as though considering the matter herself for the first time.“A good friend.We’ve kind of been spending a lot of time together these past few weeks, he’s been helping me take my mind off things.”  She smoothed out some of the creases in his shirt, earning herself a scowl from her son in the process.“I’m sure April will be pleased you’re going to this much effort for your date.”Xavier opened his mouth to respond. “Yes, I know,”she continued before he could,“It’s not a date.” “It’s not,”Xavier reiterated. “So if it’s not a date, why did you borrow my aftershave?”John called over from the kitchen. “Because…because I’d just shaved?”Xavier suggested rather feebly. “Likely story,”John retorted with a snort.  “It’s okay, Mrs.Palmer,”April interceded,“Xavier and I are just going to the cinema as friends. Complimenting each other’s appearance is entirely optional.” John gave an ironic laugh.

That was ACE !!!! especially.............  Charlie was sitting on the couch eating her third bowl of cereal when Brax arrived home.  . “I told you I would bring the bacon home” Charlie laughed lightly  “Or you could just buy maternity pyjamas” Brax answered. “Yeah, because that will make me feel sexy” “Oh babe, you are sexy” Brax grinned before he pulled her into a soft kiss.  “I know, but you’re getting bigger....they’re getting bigger.....what if I poke the baby -” “Aww babe, you are not going to reach that far” Charlie laughed and Brax tutted, looking offended. “I mean, no-one would. The babies are perfectly safe in there” Charlie smiled before she once again went to kiss Brax, and this time he responded, before stopping again as another kick could be felt. “I’m sorry, I can’t” Brax said as he shook his head. “Brax....this is the first time I’ve actually felt like doing this in weeks. I thought you’d be jumping at the chance considering how long it’s been” “I know....but I -” “Ahhhh” Jacob screamed as he ran into Charlie and Brax’s bedroom. “Mummy Mummy there’s snakes in my bed” Jacob said as he clung onto Charlie. “Snakes?” Charlie questioned as she looked down at her son, resting her hand on his head. “I don’t think so sweetie” “Yeah yeah” Jacob said “Blue ones and red ones and orange ones and yellow ones and green ones”  “I’m not in the mood anymore” Charlie said coldly as she walked back out of the bathroom, leaving Brax standing alone. She walked back into her bedroom and got into her bed, and wrapped her arms around her son, placing a kiss on his forehead.  “Bacon, cheese, peanut butter and banana” Charlie laughed as she took her sandwich back into her hand.  “What Colleen said today really got me thinking about us, and our future together and Jacob calling me Daddy” Brax smiled. “And you know, I think she’s right. We should become a proper family” A smile started to grow on Charlie’s face as she thought about what Brax may be about to ask her. Although a part of her thought this was hardly going to be the most romantic proposal ever, with Charlie sitting in Brax’s clothes, and Brax just in his boxers, she was excited for what may be about to happen. “Charlie, I want to adopt Jacob” “Yes.....I mean” Charlie paused as realisation of what Brax actually said hit her. “You want to adopt Jacob?”  “No” Jacob shook his head “He not Bax. He Daddy” “Are you okay with that? You know him calling me... yeah” Brax asked “Because I like it” Brax smiled as he felt his heart going ten to the dozen. He loved that little boy like he was his own and him saying Daddy felt amazing.

LOVED that soooooooo much, especially.............  Brax sat in amazement as he watched Charlie scraping the last of the custard onto her spoon, before bringing it to her mouth. “Mmm” Charlie sighed as she put the spoon into the bowl and sat back in the chair. “You actually ate it all” Brax said in disbelief as he looked down at Charlie’s empty plates and bowl. “I told you I would” Charlie grinned as rubbed her stomach, feeling full. “You did” Brax grinned before he looked down to his watch. “I gotta go to work” Brax said sadly. It was a rare moment these days that Charlie was in such a good mood so he would be sad to leave her. “I should probably go save Bianca from Jacob” Charlie laughed as she stood up. “But first I gotta go pee” Charlie said as she disappeared to the restroom. Brax watched as Charlie waddled away to the bathroom.  “Aww did Colleen upset the baby” Charlie cooed as she squeezed Brax’s cheek. Brax laughed lightly before he pulled Charlie closer to him, and kissed her softly. “No, but she did get me thinking” Brax smiled. “Oh yeah?” Charlie smiled. “About?” “Well that would just be telling” Brax grinned  “Hormonal?” Charlie questioned “I’ll show you hormonal” Brax braced himself for getting yelled at but Charlie just laughed before she gave him a peck on the lips. “I know I’ve been.....hard to deal with lately. I really do try to keep it under control, but you know, it is twins so I guess you could let me off considering I have double the hormones to contend with” “Hmm, I’m not sure it works like that” Brax said as he shook his head. Charlie looked up at him and raised one eyebrow. “I mean of course it does” Brax corrected.  “What?” Xavier said sounding surprised. “Ruby.....what?” Ruby sat back up on the couch and looked around at Xavier.  “Yeah?” Ruby asked “Because it’ll mean I need to travel a lot and well, be away from you. And not see Mum and Jacob as much. You know, and she is having twins, I mean I’m getting siblings and I should be here to see them grow up right? I don’t want to be the big sister who they hardly know and only see like a few times a year, if that. But then I mean being a professional singer, it would be awesome”  “Need a lift up fatty?” Bianca laughed as she walked forward and held out her hands for Charlie to take. Charlie smiled at her friend as she put her hands into hers and Bianca helped her back to her feet.  The ENTIRE sequence that starts with ………………….“Aww the little babies” Bianca smiled “You know it’s not fair, Buckton” Bianca sighed “You’ve got Ruby, Jacob and you’re getting these two. I want one” Bianca pouted.

ADORED that, especially.............  “You need to take her to the garage with you,”Matilda insisted. Ric looked at her, frustrated.“Morag’s never minded you taking Elizabeth into the office.” “But it’s not Morag at the moment,”Matilda reminded him,“She’s on holiday and this guy she’s got covering for her is starting.I want to look professional and turning up with a baby isn’t gonna do that.” “What and having a baby in a garage is a great idea?Health and Safety would love that.”  Matilda stood outside the office door for a long time, straightening her outfit, adjusting her hair and doing her best to look as professional as possible before taking a deep breath, putting a respectful smile on her face,  “Yeah but…sometimes it’s easier just to do as you’re told.”He went over to join Romeo.“And besides… don’t tell Mattie but it kind of helps not having to pay for a childminder for once.” “Because of this place?”Romeo asked cautiously.  The ENTIRE scene featuring Ruby, Julia and Indi.

LOOOOOOOVED that, especially.............  “We will find Master Xavier soon enough seeing as I have one of these high tech Rebel sat nav’s which detects body heat.” “Take left turn ahead please.” “See we only have to put our trust into this state of the art equipment and…… “Make a U turn when possible.” “Oh you have got to be kidding me.” Romeo says as the left turning he had just taken was indeed cut off by a giant wall of ice. “Make a U turn when possible.” “Ok, Ok keep your knickers on. Your getting as bad as Princess Indigo with all your nagging.” Romeo Solo says as he brushed the heavy blizzard of snowflakes away from his face.  “Well………..April…….D2………says……..the………odds…..of…….survival……are 725………to…….1.” To Dex3PO’s great relief Princess Indigo’s grip and shaking of him stops only to be replaced by high pitch wails of despair. Dex3PO backs away slightly from what seems to be a cut up/love sick woman  As footsteps quickly came closer to him Xavier had collapsed again from just having done that long monologue to his dead mentor. Which who in death had turned the odd colour of bright blue. “XAVIER DON’T WORRY I’M HERE” bellowed Romeo over the heavy snow storm. “RABBIT, MILES, RABBITS, JEDI, RABBIT, MILES.” “NO XAVIER IT’S ME ROMEO SOLO.” “DO YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND A RABBIT?” “XAVIER YOUR NOT MAKING SENSE.” “RABBITS ARE FLUFFY AND CUTE.” Dear God it seems he has gone slightly mad, even close to losing his mind what with all this talk of rabbits Romeo thought to himself.  “What is darl?” “Oh I think I’m going to be sick.” “I wouldn’t do that darl It would cost the rebellion a fortune in cleaning bills.” “But it’s just out of this galaxy disgusting.” Jai says covering his mouth trying not to heave. “What is it darl what do you see?” It looks like Captain Romeo Solo and Master Xavier are using what seems to be a dead tauntaun as shelter. They are sat inside it did you hear what I just said General Roberts?”  Xavier says with a big grin on his face, while Romeo looks on at Xavier in a dagger look stare.

Sooooo CUTE that Hayden was shy and hid behind Ruby’s leg both times !!!!

That was ACE !!!!, especially.............  “Okay, I understand” Brax said “I just always had this dream that I’d live in a nice big house, just outside of town, so we didn’t have any neighbours, but it was still close enough to civilisation” Brax laughed lightly “You know, the whole white picket fence, the kids, the dog. I always dreamed of the kids and I playing outside in the big garden while mum stayed in the kitchen baking us up some nice treat for when we came in” Brax smiled as he thought about the life he’d always wanted to have.  “Yeah, just don’t count on me baking up any kind of treats” Charlie laughed before Colleen came over to take their order.  Colleen smiled before she gave Brax a disapproving look. “And you, Darryl, when are you going to make an honest woman out of her?”  “But, I do think Brax and I have enough going on right now without the worry of a wedding” If Charlie was being honest, she’d love Brax to ask her to marry him, but she’d just need to wait until – or if – he did.  “A chicken burger with cheese. And maybe fries too. And a piece of the chocolate cake, oh and also a slice of apple pie with custard, ooh and a flapjack, and a coke” Charlie smiled as she looked up to Colleen who’s eyes had widened at all the things Charlie was ordering.  “Hey, I’m eating for 3” Charlie replied “And I’m starving. You know I was only given one egg with my breakfast this morning, I don’t know what the chef was thinking” Brax laughed lightly at Charlie. “Well you see his assistant hadn’t been to the shops so there was only one egg left in the fridge, so really the chef was very nice in giving it to you and not keeping it for himself”  “Okay, so since when have you gulped down glasses of coke?” Brax questioned “You normally hate the stuff” “I know” Charlie screwed her face up. “But I’ve just got this craving for it”  “Ruby we think......I think you are amazing” Dave smiled “You have a lovely voice that I think would do great out there in the market” “You....I....what?” Ruby stuttered as she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Was Dave about to offer her a recording contract? “Ruby, I want you to sing this song” Dave smiled “I want to offer you a recording contract” “But I’m here to work in -” Ruby started to talk as she felt her heart beating faster and faster. She couldn’t believe what Dave was saying.

SOOOOOOOOO funny !!!!! LOOOOOVED that, especially.............  Marilyn, “I have told you before a ex supermodel.” Brax, “Naa I know I’m good but not that good to pull a supermodel, I would just settle for a police woman I think.”  Heath, “Oh you mean just like Santa isn’t real?” Brax, “Heath you know that isn’t true.” Heath, “Oh do I? Whys that?” Brax, “Because his the one we are trying to destroy you idiot. Heath I do worry about you sometimes.” Heath, “No need I was only teasing you of course I know his real.”  Heath, “Yeah isn’t it all brightly lit and colourful with lots of sickly happy jolly people?” Casey, “Oh no this is an wicked wicked evil place of nightmares.”  Casey, “Oh yes” Casey mutters quietly to himself. “This is the wrong notepad.”  Casey, “To my sexy little minx, you make my heart flutter and give me butterflies every time that I see you. I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH then there’s big love hearts and loads of kisses.” Casey holds out the sheet of paper for everyone to see. Brax, “Casey er I don’t want to sound stupid that’s Heath’s job but have you just read out a love letter?” Heath, “Who’s the lucky woman Cas?” Martha, “I’m sorry I must be a bit confused here but I thought we were a couple of evil masterminds not a bunch of love sick puppies.”  Brax, “Ah that’s what I thought you said but I thought I heard you wrong, thought I must have had too much slime in my ears.” Heath, “Ruby? That doesn’t sound very evil sounds rather a pretty name.” Brax, “What does she do?” Heath, “Ah wait is it something like throw stink bombs at people or does she fart really loudly and the smell gases people am I close?”  Brax, “I must say I’m very disappointed in you Cas. You would never find me falling in love with someone, I would use them for my own needs yes but I would never love them.”  Brax and Heath’s bodies quiver slightly at having a sexy black haired witch caressing their chests. Martha looks deep into their eyes while moving in slowly getting ready to kiss them.

Pee Wee is actually one of the River Boys …he is one of the 2 who, for instance, kidnapped Dex and stranded him in the bush. From catching bits of EMPIRE today, Admiral Pee Wee appears to be loosely based on Admiral Ozzel.

LOOOOOOOOOVED that, especially.............  “I’m good” Charlie smiled “I actually feel good today, which is rare. I’ve been a right moody cow this past week, and poor Brax here has bared the brunt of it” “Well Dad needs to be useful for something until the babies arrive” Sara laughed.  “Aww” Brax smiled “Still cute though eh, I mean that’s my kid” Brax grinned as he felt himself welling up. He cleared his throat as he tried to slyly wipe his eye, not wanting to show he was crying. Charlie looked up at Brax and smiled lightly, before she looked back to the screen.  “But nothing” Charlie said “It’s just having a little sleep. Jacob was the same at his 20 week scan and he’s fine, right?”  “Wow that was cold” Charlie said as she brought her hand up and rubbed her forehead. Sara smiled lightly at Charlie as she poked the side of her stomach, trying to wake the baby. “C’mon baby” Sara said “You going to wake up?” Sara continued to try to wake the baby, but she wasn’t having much luck. “I don’t think I am going to wake it” “Great. Stubborn like Mummy” Brax laughed and Charlie lightly hit his chest.  “You cried” Charlie smiled as she stopped in front of Brax, linking their hands together. “Did not” Brax cleared his throat as he looked down to Charlie. “You did. You cried” Charlie smiled once again as she looked into Brax’s eyes. “I thought it was really sweet” Charlie said as she took a step closer to Brax, closing the gap between them. “You showing your softer side” “Well their my babies” Brax said, feeling himself begin to well up again. “Aww you going to go again” Charlie smiled as she moved her hand up to his face, wiping away the tear.  “Thanks coffee girl” Steve smirked as he picked up his mug and took a drink. Ruby sighed lightly as she looked down at the older man. She may have only been there a few weeks, but she hated Steve, and his comments. The way he often spoke down on her. “Thanks Ruby” Dave smiled up at her. He was much nicer than Steve, and actually treated Ruby like a colleague should.  “She’s got too many words to fit in” Ruby said “She’s struggling to fit them in. It moves back to the chorus to quickly so she’s not getting enough time to sing the last few words of the verse”  “What, me?” Ruby questioned “But I’m not -” “Go” Dave said. “I don’t know the words” Ruby said as she rubbed her forehead. Was she really being asked to sing a song in front of record label producers and managers?  Ruby took a deep breath before she walked over and into the booth. As the band started to play the music, she felt her heart beating faster and faster, as she suddenly felt nervous. She began singing the song, starting off quiet, but as time passed she quickly became more confident, as was soon giving it her all. Dave and Steve stood with their mouths open wide as they started at each other, with a glowing glint in their eyes.

ADORED that!!!!!! Soooooooooooo funny, especially.............  a new base on the remote ice planet of Winter Bay  The pair had received rapid promotions as a result of being among the few Rivertroopers to still be alive after the Death Star.  “Because it’s probably tourists or something. People go to Winter Bay all the time to go snowboarding.”  Then he began to make out a large bath tub in the middle of the chamber, with steam coming out of it. Its occupant searched around for his black helmet and only when he had it back in place did he turn to greet his guest.  “Typical. Never trust a Rivertrooper to do a man’s job. Have the fleet set course for Winter Bay at once. And tell Admiral Pee Wee I am confisgating his surfboard until he does better.”  “Because you have an amusing name.”  base commander, General Irene Roberts. “I’m sorry to let you down, General Irene,”Romeo apologised,“but I’m afraid Liambacca and I are going to have to leave the rebels.” “Seriously?”General Irene asked. “If you do that, you won’t appear very much.” “I know it’s a pain but I need to get back to Summer Bay and pay Harvey the Hutt the money I owe him or he’ll have every bounty hunter in the galaxy after me.”  “Well, you could always come with me, Princess,”Romeo suggested. “I could stop by a tropical island and we could get married.” “I’m sorry?”Princess Indigo demanded indignantly. “You really think I’d marry a stuck-up, half-witted, scruffily-dressed nerf herder?” Romeo looked at her in confusion. “What’s a nerf?” “I don’t know. But whatever it is, you’d herd them.”  Xavier had a feeling he was going crazy because he was sure he could see his late mentor, Obi-Miles Kenobi, standing in front of him. And for some reason he was glowing blue.  You must travel to Swampy Bay, where you will find Rabbit, the Jedi who taught me all I know.” Xavier stared at him for several seconds then collapsed unconscious. Obi-Miles sighed. “Or you could just lie there and freeze. Either’s good.”  Anyone who did that would have to be both very brave and unbelievably stupid.” Dex3PO considered these words for a few moments and then looked at the sealed door. “Oh dear…” You’ve soooooooooooooooooooo done it again, Red Ranger 1

That was SUBLIME !!!!!!!, especially.............  “Damn it Darryl” Charlie yelled as she threw Jacob’s bowl down in the sink, on the good job that it was plastic, or it would have shattered into pieces. “Ooo she sayed Dawyl” Jacob said as his eyes widened. “Yous in big twouble now” Jacob said, referring to how the only time Charlie ever called Brax Darryl was when she was really mad with him.  “Don’t” Charlie pulled away as she shook her hands. “Brax, we can’t afford this. Money is getting tight as it is and we’re about to have twins” Charlie said “That’s two babies” Charlie held up two fingers as she spoke. “Not one, two. Two babies. We need to buy twice the amount nappies, twice the formula, two bassinettes, two cots, two car seats, two prams, two -”  “Hey, babe, you’re absolutely gorgeous” Brax said as he tucked her hair behind her ear before he cupped her cheek with his hand. “Those people who make comments, their just jealous that you still look so hot and you’re having babies” Brax said. “You must really love me to make up crap like that” Charlie said as she wiped the tears from her eyes.  Charlie smiled as she placed her hands over her stomach. “I’m so scared about giving birth too” Charlie admitted “I mean its two babies Brax” Charlie bit her lip “Having Jacob was hard enough, not to mention the pain, and I’m going to have to do it twice”  Ruby walked into the apartment she shared with Xavier in Sydney  “I’m so stupid. How did I think I could do this? I may as well quit before I even start” “Hey, you’re bound to make mistakes at first” Ruby said as she lightly rubbed his back in comfort. “I’m sure even the words best chefs made mistakes when they were starting out”  Ruby had taken a job with the Sony Music Record Label and the week previous to her starting she’d been on a high, telling everyone they met, whether she knew them or not. “Meh” Ruby sighed “Apparently I’m still just the coffee and bagels girl”  Xavier said before he walked out of the kitchen, failing to clear up after his disastrous attempt at creating the dish. Ruby sighed lightly before she picked up the phone, and called to order their dinner.  “So all my toys are safes?” Jacob wondered. “Of course they are” Charlie smiled as she pulled her son into a hug. “And I still get to play?”  “Coowl” Jacob grinned as he jumped up to his feet and ran over to his bed, picking up his tatty old blankie that he still occasionally slept with. “They could take this” Jacob said “I’s a big boy so I’s no need it” Jacob smiled as he gave his blankie to Charlie. “Aww wow” Charlie smiled “You really want to give your blankie to your baby brothers or sisters?”

That was EXCELLENT !!!!!!, especially.............  Heath looked up at his brother fidgeting next to him like a five year old kid.  Suddenly it all made sense to Heath, the blinding smile his older had on when he had returned from work the previous night, and the almost unconscious state he had repeatedly found his brother in the past few day as he stared into space.  "what as he told you, apart from my excellent charm and my undeniable good looks", Heaths smirk only grow wider as he noticed the frustration on Brax's face.  Heath had started to feel like the third wheel, wanting to direct some attention to himself, while creating some amusement for himself, he turned to both Charlie and Brax...  "Cause Charlie if you are his girlfriend I must say I am disappointed in your choice", Heath let out a little laugh as he stopped talking, enjoying the reaction he was getting from Brax.  "Sorry about Heath, he can be a real idiot sometimes... actually no make that all the time".  She couldn't believe how in the last four years being anything more than a guy friend had scared her, while at this moment in time the thought of being nothing more than Brax's friend scared her more.  she found it hard to believe that the oh so beautiful boy that was sitting before her was now hers, she felt her jaw line sting a little, as she was unable to get rid of the smile that had now taken over half her face. Her eyes lit up even more as she noticed brax leaning into her slowly, she tried to compose herself as her whole body shivered at the thought of having her lips against his. As their lips slowly linked with one another she felt numb neck downwards, as his kiss sent tingles rushing down her body  "I can see why she's got you so distracted" Jack said looking at Brax, making Charlie's cheeks go noticeably red, as Brax pulled her closer to him. "Hy", Martha piped up as she hit Jack across the chest.  They both knew that Miles was only bagging on them because he had liked Leah for a while now but hadn't been able to find the courage to tell her.  Miles snorted under his breath as he walked away to one of the tables clearly displaying how annoyed he was. This sent Brax and Jack back into fits of laughter as they followed behind him with the girls staring at them wondering what was so funny, apart from Martha who knew why Miles was so grumpy.  As she recalled the last time she had been as happy as she was at that moment, she felt shivers of disgust rush through her as she remembered how that happy day had ended on a disastrous note for her, she only hoped nothing would damage her new found happiness.  he couldn't help but thank whatever force had brought her to Summer Bay. The beautiful girl sat next to him was all his, and he wouldn't trade her for anything or anyone.  "No I can't come, mums going out so I am stuck looking after April for the rest of the afternoon" Bianca frowned, although she adored her little sister, spending her afternoon with her friends was a much more appealing offer than spending it with her three year old little sister.  "I know I don't but I want to, plus it will give me an excuse to spend a bit more time with my beautiful girlfriend" Brax smirked "Oh yh, so where is she" Charlie responded trying to keep a straight face, but failing miserably   "9.00 as in AM?" Charlie looked a brax a little mortified  Elise just simply walked over to Charlie and gave her a hug, although she knew Charlie hated how over protective she had become, she couldn't help it. She felt she had failed Charlie once and was determined to stop anyone from ever hurting her again.  "Lottie, Lottie", Charlie smiled as she looked down Ruby who had her arms out signalling that she wanted Charlie to pick her up. After several attempt of trying to get Ruby to say either Charlotte or Charlie, she had settled on calling Charlie Lottie.  "Ruby missed Lottie"... Charlie tightened her hold on Ruby "Well Lottie missed Ruby too". "Night mummy", Ruby squirmed out of her Ross's arms as she went over to give Elise a kiss good night, Charlie watched on as her mum and Ruby embraced each other.  Reaching her door Cheryl curled over as she proceeded to throw up all over the carpet below her feet. Brax jumped back quickly before grabbing his mother's hair pulling all the lose strands from her face.  Elise looked at Ross as he sat next to her "You don't believe her do you"... "I didn't either. I am really worried about her Ross"  He only hoped that one day the old Charlie would return back to them, but deep down he knew that was unlikely even impossible but still he prayed for a miracle...

GREAT opener !!!!!, especially.............  April gaped at the large letter written at the top of the page in horror.“D?!But that’s not possible.I…I did loads of research, I learnt all the facts to do with the subject.” “The factual content was good,”Simon confirmed,“But you failed to apply the facts properly.It’s no use knowing everything about anatomy if you can’t use it for correct diagnosis and treatment.”  Something about the way he said it made April’s ears prick up.“You think I won’t?”  Unfortunately, he’d forgotten that Heath was the manager there these days.And for some reason Xavier couldn’t quite fathom, he didn’t seem to like him.  He could see someone sitting on a fence down by the beach and instantly realised it was April.Since her break-up with Dexter a few months earlier, he’d often seen her on her own.She gave off the air of being quite a solitary person these days.But something prompted him to head down towards her.  Xavier sat down beside her.“So you often hang out on beaches on your own in the middle of the night?”  “Want to swap?You can do essays on human anatomy and I can wait tables and get shouted at by River Boys.”  “Well, you never know.Stick it out a few years and you could be running that restaurant.”Xavier laughed. “No, I mean it,”April insisted,“You might not be into the book learning but you’re pretty smart in your own way too.”

ACE opener !!!!!, especially.............  Indi looked at her glass of orange juice without much enthusiasm.“I can’t believe you two managed to drink this stuff for nine months,”she remarked to Ruby and Matilda,“I’ve got another three months of it and I’m already dying to cut loose.”She noticed Xavier looking at her warningly.“Not that I will.”  “Well, yeah.Morag was married to Ross, who was my grandfather I guess, and she’s your grandfather’s sister so that makes us…”Ruby floundered. “Step-second cousins,”Matilda supplied. “Right!We’re practically brother and sister.”  “I’m a firm believer in the tradition that the women have the babies and the men pick up the bar bill.”  Romeo took a deep breath.“I’m going to ask Ruby to marry me.”  It was about an hour later that Xavier and Indi arrived home.Since Indi had discovered she was pregnant, Xavier had moved in with her and Sid  “You know what they say about pregnant women getting frisky.”  “Do I have to see this?”complained a female voice from the doorway. Xavier and Indi looked round at Sasha.Indi’s half-sister had come to live there a month previous, joining the Year 12 class of Summer Bay High, and was certainly making her presence felt.“I’m just showing your sister how much I love her,”Xavier replied with a smile. WAAAAAAY looking forward to see where it goes.

LOVED that [even if Hayden IS a terror], especially.............  “This is our new home” Casey told Hayden “Not home no Brax and Charlie” Hayden responded “She’ll get used to it but it may take a while” Ruby told Casey Casey carried Hayden in the house while Ruby unpacked some of the boxes.  “Where Claire?” Hayden asked “Not here” Ruby responded “But we live together” Hayden said “Not no more” Ruby responded “Yes” Hayden said then she throws a tantrum “Hayden no no” Ruby said Hayden crawled up to Ruby and opened her mouth almost like she was going to bite her mother

GREAT, intriguing start [and AWESOME that it's begun so soon after the original finished] !!!!, especially.............  “Mummy” Jacob smiled as he ran over to her and she bent down, as far as her 5 months pregnant stomach would let her and hugged her son.  “Very active” Charlie yawned as she placed her hand on top of Brax’s, just as a kick could be felt. “That’s amazing” Brax grinned as he felt another kick. “Seriously I could just keep my hand there all night” “Well we would appreciate some food” Charlie grinned as she looked up at Brax. “Dinner will be around 10 minutes” Brax replied and Charlie smiled before she shared a kiss with Brax, before resting her head against his chest.  “Someone told me today I looked like I was about to pop any second, and someone else said and I quote ‘Oh you must be close to your due date now, are you getting excited?’” “So, what does it matter what other people think?” Brax said. “Oh it matters, Brax” Charlie said with anger building up. “What do you have to do? Nothing” Charlie said “I have to -”  “I know. I’m sorry” Brax said as he rubbed Charlie’s arm, trying to stop Charlie going into one of her hormonal rants, that were becoming more popular over the last month  Jacob said before he put his hand onto Charlie’s stomach and his eyes widened in amazement as he felt kicks. “Oh he’s angry to Mummy” Jacob said as he looked back up to his parents. “He?” Brax questioned and Jacob nodded. “Mummy has boys” Jacob said as he looked back down to her ever growing bump. “Is that so?” Charlie asked as she lightly ran her hand over Jacob’s head and Jacob nodded. “What about Ruby? She’s a girl” “Eh well....ehm” Jacob said as he scratched the side of his head, trying to think of a response. “You have boys now”  “You told Jacob to keep a secret?” Charlie questioned “Have you just met the boy?”  “I agree it’s pretty small, but Brax, we can’t afford to move elsewhere. With my crappy wage and -” “Oooh Mummy sayed a bad word” Jacob said and Brax bit his lip, to stop himself laughing at the boy.  She looked mad with him. Sighing lightly he took a forkful of his lasagne and brought it up to his mouth. It seemed like he couldn’t get anything right these days.

LOVED that sooooooooooooooo much !!!!! A perfect end for a BEYOND FANTASTIC fic, especially.............  “Daddy” Jacob shouted as he ran into his parent’s bedroom in nothing but his underpants. “Daddy” Jacob shouted again as he lifted his hands to go up to him. Brax smiled lightly as he picked the boy up into his arms.  Charlie walked back into the room, in a gorgeous sleeveless blue dress, that cut just above her knee. “What” Charlie asked as she looked up at Brax who was about to do up his tie. “You still can’t do a bloody tie” Charlie sighed  “I’s no like it” Jacob shook his head as he pulled a face. “Well sweetie it’s Ruby’s graduation so you have to dress up nice and smart” Charlie said as she looked around his bedroom, trying to find where he’d put his suit. “Ruby” Jacob smiled.  “Jakey wear this” Jacob smiled as he held up his pirate dress-up outfit.  “Finally you’re here” Ruby said as she walked over to the car, and noticed her brother dressed as a pirate. “Wow you’re a pirate Jakey” “Arrgghh” Jacob growled as he waved his plastic sword in front of him.  “I just graduated” Ruby said “No biggy” “Well giving what happened in your last year, I think you did good to stay on track” Charlie said and Ruby smiled lightly as she looked down. Casey had been sentenced to 15 years for her rape, and had to do 10 years before chance of parole. After hearing of his brothers sentencing, Heath went off the rails, and ended up back in jail, on charges of robbery, assault and for harvesting and selling marijuana, and had a nine year jail sentence to do. Cheryl stayed the same, relying on the pokies and alcohol to get by, and ignoring the only son who was trying to do good in the world.  “A gift voucher for the spa, where you work” Ruby said. Charlie had recently taken a job as a receptionist at the spa that had opened up at the new resort.  “Hmm” Ruby said as she shook her head, not believing her mother, but quickly shaking it off and went out to enjoy their lunch.  “The new lady from across the street?” Brax questioned and Charlie nodded. “So, I was just being friendly, I....Charlie I wouldn’t need to go looking at another woman when I’ve got you” “I know” Charlie answered “I don’t think it was her you were interested in. I think it was what was in her arms” Charlie said as she bowed her head down.  “I’m going to ask you a question, and you’re going to answer truthfully. Yes or No” Charlie said and Brax nodded lightly. “Do you want a baby?” Brax exhaled lightly before he nodded his head ever so slightly “Yes” Brax answered, seeing that he needed to be honest. Charlie pursed her lips together as she heard the answer that she had been expecting to hear.  “Ruby and Jacob, they have different fathers. I have two kids to two different men and if I have a third with a third man, well there’s names for women like that”  “Okay” Charlie nodded as she pulled back “Let’s do this. Let’s have a baby” “Yeah” Brax smiled as he pulled back from the hug and looked into Charlie’s expressive blue eyes. “Yes” Charlie smiled and Brax grinned excitedly as he pulled her into another hug. “And, you know” Brax said as he stayed in the embrace. “You’re right. Nothing does last forever” Brax said and Charlie pulled back and looked at him worriedly. “Nothing lasts forever” Brax smiled lightly as he cupped his hand around Charlie’s cheek. “Except you and me” WAAAAAAAY looking forward to the sequel of this AMAZING story !!!!!!

ADORED that !!!!!, especially.............  Sally, “Blah Blah what a load of glittering sprinkles that is.” Tinker Bell, “No its not and its easy for you, you have that nice handsome hobbit Flynn wanting to take you too the fairly Christmas ball, but I don’t have anyone wanting to take me.”  BFA, “Roman I got new friend.”  BFA, “My friend looks cute enough to eat.”  Tinker Bell, What kind of stupid name is that? I mean what does it stand for?” BFA, “Big Friendly Aden.”  Tinker Bell, “Tinker Bell but I like to be called Belle for short, but that is besides the point since you are going to put me right back in my treetop home.”  Belle, “Oh my your not shy in coming forwards are you?” Big Friendly Aden, “I do not understand your way of talking.”  One of the reasons of course was her having to flee the bay with Goblin Hugo after he had eaten a load of children.  In that way you would have everyone falling under you spell and Brax certainly found himself falling under her spell as his lingering eyes hovered round Martha bosom area. Hugo the Goblin, “HEY TROLL STOP PREVING AT MY HOT WITCH GRILFRIEND.”  Heath, “Oh goody can I sit on Santa’s lap? I will be right back.”  Brax, “Oh I don’t know. How about your trying to destroy and ruin Christmas?”

That was ADORABLE !!!!!, especially.............  “Eh, well I was thinking about what you said, you know, about me being a chef, and I love the idea” Xavier smiled. “I’m looking at the Gordon Blue Culinary School in Sydney”  “Ah c’mon, I’m not exactly the best cook in the world and even I knew that” Charlie laughed as she picked up the glass and turned on the tap, filling the glass up with water.  “Move to the city?” Charlie questioned, sounding slightly alarmed at the prospect of her daughter moving away.  “Nah” Xavier shook his head “Mother-In-Law eats for free” “I’m going to hold you to that Xavier” Charlie laughed as Brax came walking through to the kitchen.  “Oh no where’s my feet going?” Charlie asked and Jacob giggled as he continued to move the sand, with Brax’s help, until he was confident his mum’s feet were hidden. “Gone” Jacob announced as he pointed to the big pile of sand that had replaced Charlie’s feet.  “Jacob, don’t you dare” Charlie raised her voice as she leaned forward grabbing Jacob’s arm and placing it up near his mouth as Jacob bit down on himself, before he burst into tears. “See it’s hurts doesn’t it” Charlie said before she immediately felt guilty and lifted her son into her arms to comfort him. “See baby that’s why we don’t bite” Charlie said as he rocked her son in her arms. “No” Jacob shook his head as he looked down to his arm, where he saw his teeth marks. He put his hand on it before he started crying again.  “Brax bit him” Charlie laughed and Brax gasped in shocked. “Charlotte Michelle” Brax said “You take that lie back” Charlie giggled just as Georgie walked into the Diner.  “Sargent G. Watson’. “So I see you took the promotion. Congratulations” Charlie smiled weakly at her.  “Oh, well in that case” Charlie laughed “What do you think Jacob? Should we let him have a piece?” Jacob looked up to Charlie then to Brax, then down to the cake. He picked a little bit off with his hand before reaching out and passing it to Brax.
