Thanks a million for the continued support Kristen much appreciated! I know... poor 'Kyle' Thanks for reading! x

Thanks KittCatt! Always appreciate the feedback x To be honest, I do actually feel a bit guilty writing all this misery for Kyle. I mean, how much more can the poor fella take?! Thanks Suzza! I've run out of likes for this evening. Really appreciate the feedback and glad you're enjoying it, even if I am tugging at your heartstrings! lol!

Thanks Jarlie, glad you enjoyed them! I think she probably should tell them, although that would be extremely unprofessional, so you'll have to wait and see!

Thanks RR1 I think you're right. They really would need to know what's going on if they're going to be able to help. Kat is probably the only one that could really explain. But how will Heath take the news?

Great chapter! I've said it a number of times now, but I think you have a great gift for dialogue. It's always so natural. That's something I struggle with. I loved this line, lol! "The universal posture of unapproachability. She approached him anyway." Feel sorry for Matt. Loved the Maddy and Oscar scene with the notepad and all the questions, so very Oscar. Also loved Oscar's joke about not listening to Auntie Evie, and his reply 'I thought so'. Brilliant! Looks like there's trouble for Evie and Josh? Looking forward to the next chapter x

Thanks everyone! Glad you liked it, I was a bit nervous about this one! It's quite a big reveal but there were actually quite a lot of clues throughout the story that Kyle might not have been 'Kyle'. The big question now is, who is he?

Poor Sasha! But I'm kind of relieved that she found out because Matt couldn't just keep getting away with it. I wouldn't have liked to be Casey in that situation, trying to decide whether to tell her or not. That's always tough! Darcy and Casey are cute together. Wonder whether she's right about Bianca? Matt doesn't seem like the nicest guy in this but I agree with RR1 above, it does seem that he's cheating more because of his own insecurities than anything else. Looking forward to the next chapter x

Thanks JarlieFanEver! Really glad that your surgery went well x Glad you enjoyed the Heath scenes too. Hoping to have another chapter ready tomorrow!

Great chapter Kristen! Poor Kyle, missing out on so much of his kid's life. Just hoping that Tamara will let him see her now that he knows. Liked how you made that the reason for Tam leaving town, that makes sense :-) Looking forward to the next update. x

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I've exceeded my 'likes' again today (oops!) Glad you all liked the Heath scenes. I think Heath has always cared about Kyle deep down, even if he hasn't been comfortable showing it. Something like this would shock him and bring out his more sensitive side. We got to see that side in the show when no-one else was looking! What has Kat found out?

Thanks! I've exceeded my 'likes' again for today! lol! You're right about Phoebe! lol! She's being pretty unreasonable about it but I suppose telling your partner and telling a load of other people is two different things in her mind. I just think Phoebe is a bit of a hypocrite in the show so that's how I'm writing her. Glad you're enjoying it!

Awwwwwwwww!!!! All the warm and fuzzies! Lol! I loved this chapter! x So happy things are going well so far with the baby, and I thought the scene where they all watched the DVD of the scan together was lovely. I really enjoyed the chat between Zac and Hunter, and it was so cute that Hunter wanted to be adopted! Thought it was incredibly sweet that VJ wants him to be his brother. I hope that Leah says yes to the adoption. Great story!

Loved their reactions to the news. I'd love it if Leah go finally got to be happy. (Wouldn't that be amazing? A happily married couple in Summer Bay) Hope all goes well for them. I don't know how many times I've said it now, but they're really cute together! x Hope Hunter doesn't freak out when he finds out about the baby. I'm hoping he'll see it as a second chance to have a solid family. With the baby he's properly part of this family. It kind of bonds him to Leah and VJ in a way that's even stronger. A real connection. It would be nice if he could see it that way. Sad that the story is drawing to a close but I've really enjoyed reading

Funny, I didn't even think of that! That will be interesting. Hope he doesn't burn the house down again! Lol!

Yay!!!! Leah is pregnant! I hoped she might be, given your teaser on the last chapter. Fingers crossed it goes well! I wonder how VJ will react when he finds out. I think he'd be pleased, if very shocked. Glad Peter didn't get bail. Great chapter! x

Great chapter! I feel really sorry for Matt! This is going to be so hard for him. It's not about being mature or being a good guy. It'll just be really hard to deal with. There will always be a third person in their relationship now and a baby that isn't his, and can't be his, because the dad is on the scene and wants to be involved. It would be easier if Oscar didn't want to play his part because then he could be the 'dad' regardless of biology. But now he'll always be on the outside looking in. They'd have to have an incredibly strong relationship to survive this! It's not that uncommon a situation but it's very difficult to manage. Looking forward to the next chapter x

Thank you so much Suzza! :-) Glad you're enjoying it! Brax is probably who he needs right now, as he was sort of a father figure to him, but then again, I think he'd be mortified to have to talk to Brax about it. Admitting it to Tam and Phoebe was hard enough. He always wanted the Braxtons to think he was tough. Poor Kyle! I feel bad for him and I'm the one writing it! Lol!

Thanks RR1! Glad you liked Heath. I think he'll really struggle to say the right thing. I was thinking about the episode with paralyzed Casey where he told him he could have all the disabled parking spots now! Like that was the silver lining! Lol! He was never known for his sensitivity. I'll do my best to write him true to character!

Thank you KittCatt!!! Really appreciate the feedback x I think you're right about Kyle feeling betrayed. Ash knowing, and then going and telling Brax (and Heath by extension) would be incredibly humiliating for him. Especially given how he feels about himself. Glad you're enjoying it x

Loved this chapter!!! So happy for Leah and Zac. I've said it before but they are just so cute together! love love love them! The kids are great but I started to wonder if VJ might be interested in Holly? Glad Peter's having a tough time in prison. He deserves it. No sympathy thrre, sorry... Looking forward to the next chapter! x

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked it! I remember Danny being a bit like that in the show. Danny was the one that first led Kyle astray, and got him in trouble with the law in his late teens, so I think this would be the start of it. Thought I wanted to show some of Kyle's angry side coming out too. .

Lol! I know, but I didn't want to ruin the surprise I thought it would be interesting to see Heath try to step up and be there for Kyle. Brax always did the supportive big brother thing and Heath just got to be a kid, whereas now he's a dad himself. With two kids to look after, I think he'll have grown a lot as a person (even if he doesn't know it himself). Glad you're enjoying it! x

Thanks to both of you for the lovely comments. I don't think Kat should have approached Kyle at work either but then Kat does a lot of things that I don't think she should! Glad you're enjoying the story so far! x

Great chapter! Love all the Leah and Zac romantic scenes. They're so cute together. It's nice that the kids are happy for them. Hope Holly isn't going to cause trouble! :-) (Sorry you had a rough weekend. Hope things are better now )

Thanks Red Ranger 1 Glad you enjoyed this chapter. You're right, I think Ash did the best he could in a bad situation (even if he kind of created the situation in the first place). Thanks again for your feedback. I really appreciate it!
