She walked in behind her. “Hello Ailsa love, how are you?” Colleen said “Ok” Ailsa said as she picked up a note pad from the kitchen table and opened the fridge and began to write what she needed to get from the wholsale “Don’t mind me butting in but is there any news about Alf, you know we are all hoping for the best for him” Colleen said “No, there isn’t” Ailsa said “The case still tomorrow is it?” Colleen said “Yes that’s right” Ailsa said as she walked into the pantry. Colleen slowly walked o the pantry entrance “You sure you don’t want me to do that for you? Me and lancey can take care of the diner if you need to get yourself off” Colleen said “No, its fine, its better that I work instead of sitting at home” Ailsa said as she counted the cans on the shelf 'Cause I'm a model, you know what I mean And I do my little turn on the catwalk Yeah, on the catwalk On the catwalk, yeah I shake my little tush on the catwalk MRS S, MRS MAARGE IS HERE” Ailsa’s heart dropped when she heard that Morag wanted to see her. She walked out of the diner to see Morag standing at the counter looking at Lance “Do you want to come through?” Ailsa said “It’s a nice day…why dont we take a walk on the beach” Morag said and smiled “I wont be long” Ailsa said and began to walk out of the diner. “Nice to see you Morag” Colleen said and smiled Morag looked at Colleen and Lance then she followed Ailsa out of the diner I'm too sexy for my car Too sexy for my car Too sexy by far And I'm too sexy for my hat Too sexy for my hat What do you think about that?

Caravan Park – Summer Bay Carly came into the kitchen and yawned “ The kettle is still warm if you want to make a coffee” Pippa said as she washed the dishes “Ill grab something at the diner, I need to do the wholesale order…ill see you later” Carly said “Carly, before you go…I want to say something” Pippa said and she dried her hands on her apron then she took the folded cheque from her pocket and reached out to Carly “I cant take this…this is your money for your future..you are working hard…you don’t need to be spending your money on me” Pippa said “Pippa, its ok, honest’ Carly said “I went through some calculations this morning and I called the bank, I have some money in a different savings account that I forgot about so everything will be alright” Pippa said with a smile “That’s good news Pippa” Carly said and hugged Pippa whose smile disappeared Department of Child Services- The City “H": Bobby said and smiled but she wished she was meeting someone else. She had nothing against Andrew Foley but she remembered confiding to him about her marriage problems; “I saw the name and thought a blast from the past, how are you “ Andrew Foley said as he sat in the chair opposite Bobby “Good, when did you start working here?” Bobby said “About six months ago..what are you doing with yourself now” Andrew said and he looked at Bobby She looked very different from how he remembered her. “Well I still co own the diner with Ailsa, but I am also the catering director at the sands resort, I have my own catering and consulting business and doing my business degree” Bobby said “Wow…sounds like you are really busy…Good for you..glad to see that you have some direction and you must be happy doing so many different things that you want” Andrew said and he looked at Bobby Flashback Andrew- Are you alright Bobby Bobby- Yeah why? Andrew- Come on now, you are talking to a professional Bobby- Its nothing..only me thinking that I am not good enough for my husband anymore Andrew- What do you mean? Bobby- Oh I don’t know…he has changed a lot. He makes comments here and there that he didn’t used to about the way I look or how other woman look good. When I go to see him at work I feel like the ugly foster sister who got lucky then I see him with Roo and they look perfect together Andrew – Don’t say that Bobby- Why not when its probably true…anyway who am I fooling, I always knew I was second best Andrew- Have you talked to frank about how I feel? Bobby- Anytime I bring up the subject he said I am just being jealous or he dismisses it completely Andrew- Do you love him? Bobby- I gave up gong to Uni, to do what I wanted because I love him Andrew- All young couples go through problems early on in their marriage..its the adjustment stage…maybe the two of you can go away together and talk things through Bobby- We cant afford it, we are supposed to be saving up to have a baby Andrew- Well that’s a good sign Bobby- Yeah I know but I still cant shake the feeling that I will always be second best Flashback ends “Yeah…I bet working here makes a change from teaching us lot “ Bobby said and laughed “Hmm I actually miss those days in Summer Bay” Andrew said and his mind drifted off. Bobby could see from his expression that his mind was elsewhere. She cleared her throat bringing Andrew back to the present “So, Diane our receptionist said you are here to submit some application forms…what forms would that be?” Andrew said and Bobby took the envelope from her lap and put it on the desk “I am submitting an application to be a foster mum” Bobby said and she opened the envelope and put the application on the table. Andrew looked at her then he picked up the application and looked at the first page “Oh right, what lead you to that decision?” Andrew said as he looked at Bobby “I just feel that it is the right thing to do” Bobby said “Well you are a great success of the foster system” Andrew said and he smiled “But” Bobby said and Andrew sighed “Ill be honest with you..fostering is not easy and does require you making sacrifices” Andrew said “Yeah I know” Bobby said “There is also the fact that the application process includes making sure you can afford to look after the child as well as residing in a place where the child came have their own room” Andrew said “I have all of that. I own a 5 bedroom beach house and have over $60,000 in the bank” Bobby said desperately as Andrew looked at her “That’s great Bobby but….another thing to consider is that you are still really young…with your whole life ahead of you” Andrew said and Bobby looked down “I know you have your heart set on it, but I want to be as realistic as I can with you…also there is a possibility that your application will be rejected” Andrew said and Bobby sighed. It felt too good to be true “Oh well, thanks for the chat” Bobby said and she got up “Where are you going?” Andrew said “You just basically told me not to bother applying” Bobby said “No, I didn’t say that…sit down” Andrew said “Look, I just want to give you a realistic expectation. I see many people walk through the door and most of the time their hopes and dreams are dashed…I don’t want that for you” Andrew said “Thanks” Bobby said as she looked at Andrew who looked at his watch “It looks to be lunch time, if you are not doing anything, do you mind grabbing a sandwich with me? Andrew said and Bobby smiled “Ok” Bobby said and Andrew got up and Bobby followed him out of the office. Beach- Summer Bay Morag stopped walking and breathed in then she exhaled “That smell is always the same…no matter how long you stay away..you never forget that smell” Morag said and Ailsa looked at her “Look, if you have something to say, please say it. I have to get ready for the lunch rush” Ailsa said and Morag sighed “I tried my best Ailsa” Morag said “What are you saying?” Ailsa said as she studied Morag’s face “Im saying that I haven’t been able to find something that connects someone else to the Wilson accident” Morag said and Ailsa felt a funny feeling come over her “So you are saying that Alf is going to prison?” Ailsa said “I am going to try and plead down to accidental manslaughter…being a first offense and with Alfreds reputation in the commnity, the maximum sentence is 5 years” Morag said as she looked at Ailsa turn away and look at the water with a shocked look on her face then she sighed “Have you told him?” Ailsa said “I am on my way there now, I wanted to see you first” Morag said as Ailsa continue to look at the water “I really am sorry Ailsa” Morag said “What about Al Simpson and his blackmail of Alf?” Morag said “Nothing to prove there. There were no witnesses. Any money being wired to Al coudlve just been as a lone..I really am sorry Ailsa” Morag said “I better go…court is tomorrow at 9am” Morag said and Ailsa didn’t respond then she walked away..

You will also need to provide the references of two people who support your application and can confirm that you would be a suitable foster mother” Andrew said “Is that it?” Bobby said “No, the department will also conduct a background check, approval to check your medical history and you will be required to meet with a department approved counselor” Andrew said “Why is that?” Bobby said “Well the background and medical check is for obvious reasons but the counselling session is to make sure that you are emotionally ready to be a foster parent and are doing it for the right reason” Andrew said and Bobby sighed and put her head down Now your picture's that you left behindAre just memories of a different lifeSome that made us laughSome that made us cryOne that made you have to say goodbye “Bobby is there something wrong?” Andrew said and Bobby didn’t respond.

Bobby said then she stopped walking and looked at Andrew “Well, Ill be honest with you, the way you feel about losing your baby…your marriage breaking up will be a concern to the department. I am sure you saw it yourself with your foster family, it really is a demanding job, having to juggle several different personalities under one roof..having very little time to do anything for yourself” Andrew was interrupted “But I know I can do it” Bobby said “Bobby Im not doubting that..look, I will submit your application for review. You probably wont hear anything for a few weeks but in that time, I really want you to think about why you are doing this..the real reason why you are doing this…I want you to be sure that” Andrew was interrupted “Be sure that I am not just trying to replace my baby” Bobby said and Andrew nodded “Yeah I understand how it would look like that” Bobby said and she sighed…she knew that was the reason even if she didn’t want to admit it to herself. Andrew put his hand in his pocket and took out a card “Here is my number, if you want to talk please call me..or if you want to discuss anything about the process” Andrew said and gave the card to Bobby “Thanks” Bobby said and she took the card and looked at it “Anyway, I better get back to the office..it was really nice to see you…and good luck with everything” Andrew said and he smiled “Thanks” Bobby said and she smiled. As she watched Andrew walk away her smile disappeared and she sighed…”Stupid idea” Bobby said to herself as she walked to her car.. Pawn Shop Yabbie Creek Pippa sighed as she pushed open the door. She held it wide enough for Christopher to walk through then she walked up to the counter and waited. Shortly after a man came out of the back “G’day” The shop owner said “Hello..I was wondering how much I would get for these” Pippa said and she took three rings out of her pocket and put them on the counter. The shop keeper picked each ring up and looked at them and inspected them “$300” He eventually said “Each?” Pippa said as her face lit up “No, $300 total” The shop keeper said “But they are gold and the other ring is a real diamond” Pippa said “This is a pawn shop love take it or leave it” The shop owner said and looked at Pippa and she sighed and nodded “You have 90 days to collect or we sell it..fill out this form” The shop owner said and put a clip board with a form on the counter for Pippa to fill out.

Summer's Bay Posted May 19, 2019 Author Report Posted May 19, 2019 Chapter 265 Waldorf Creek Jail- Waldorf Creek “Alfred, please say something” Morag said as she sat opposite Alf. His face looked like he had just seen a ghost “I went through every document, I spoke to everyone the police spoke to ..I just couldn’t find anything that proved this was nothing more than an accident” Morag said. Alf just stared at her. He always felt that he was guilty but now the reality was sinking in, he really was guilty and he was going to go to jail. He sighed then smiled and began to sing Hot cross buns,Hot cross buns,one ha' penny,two ha' penny,hot cross buns.If you have no daughters,give them to your sons,one ha' penny,two ha' penny,Hot Cross Buns Alf finished the song and smiled at Morag who looked at him confused “You know…that used to be Ruthys favourite song when she was a little girl. She used to always sing it with Martha. I would come in and find them at the kitchen table” Alf said then a single tear ran down his cheek. Morag sighed then she looked at Alf. She had failed him she didn’t protect him….just like she didn’t protect her grandchild. Morag felt tears coming to her eyes then she did a pretend sneeze “Oh excuses me, I think the dust is aggravating my eyes” Morag said and she took a tissue from her bag and wiped her eyes and blew her nose “I know you did your best Sis…this is probably for the best…you know” Alf said and smiled as he reached for Morags hand “You get off back to the hotel…I will be fine” Alf said as he looked at Morag “I really am sorry Alfred…I really am” Morag said and she looked at Alf and got up then she quickly made her way out of the room. Alf looked at the table and sighed.. Smart Residence- Summer Bay Naraelle laughed at the TV while bobby sat at the dining table looking over her class notes then she sighed. Narelle looked up at Bobby then she turned the TV down “Are you alright?” you been pretty quiet this evening” Narelle said “Fine” Bobby said as she looked at Narelle then she looked back down at her notes “Matt said Alfs trial is tomorrow so he is going to Summer Bay tonight.” Narelle said and Bobby didn’t respond. She was thinking of the meeting she had with Andrew and how her interpretation was that she shouldn’t even bother to apply. Bobby sighed “I still cant believe that Alf Stewart is going on trail for murder” Narelle said and Bobby didn’t respond. Narelle looked at her and got up from the couch and sat down opposite her “Whats wrong with you?” Narelle said as she looked concerned Phone ringing Narelle got up and walked over to the phone “Hello..Jeff hi” Narelle said and giggled. Bobby sighed as Narelle walked over to the couch with the phone and sat down. Bobby looked at Narelle as her face was full of love. Bobby put her notes back in her folder and got up from the table and went to the bedroom. As she walked, she looked at Narelle again who didn’t seem to know that she was going, she was in deep conversation with Jeff. Bobby closed the door behind her and sat and walked over to the bed and sat down. She could hear Narelle, not what she was saying but she could hear her talking. Bobby sighed then she slowly laid back on the bed and grabbed one of the pillows and hugged it then without warning tears fell from her eyes and she began to cry as she thought about how lonely she felt..

Carly put her hand in her apron pocket, she had made a lot of tips like she normally did coming up to the weekend, but she decided that she was going to share the tips with Pippa “Hi Carly” Carly froze when she heard a familiar voice say her name. She turned around to see Matt walking towards her “Hi” Carly said and smiled “How are you?” Matt said “Ok…how are you…here for the court case?” Carly said “Yeah, my parents didn’t want to come…they are still not over Shane dying” Matt said “Sorry to hear that” Carly said and smiled at Matt. “You know, I am really sorry about all this” Carly said “Thanks…it has been hard” Matt said “If you ever need someone to talk to…well if you need a friend” Carly said and Matt smiled “You don’t know how good that sounds” Mat said and he stepped forward and hugged Carly.

Summer's Bay Posted May 21, 2019 Author Report Posted May 21, 2019 Chapter 266 Brenan Residence- Summer Bay Laura yawned then she sighed as she poured the hot water in to the cup.

On top of everything I don’t think I could bare saying goodbye to him too” Alf said as Ailsa put her arms around him and sighed “I know I said I wanted to do it but can you tell Ruthy afterwards…im too gutless to tell her face to face..tell her that I will write to her” Alf said and looked at Ailsa. She had one tear running down her cheek “Whatever happens today…please know that I love you….and I don’t expect you to wait for me, so if you want a divorce I will understand” Alf said then sighed “Lets not talk about that love” Ailsa said as Alf wiped the tear from her cheek “Lets go Stewart” Ails and Alf both looked twards the door to see a policeman “Ill see you at the court” Alf said and he bent down to kiss Ailsa and smiled and walked towards the door as she helplessly watched him walk away..

She didn’t even know why she said that, she just wanted to get off the phone “Good..well have a good day” Andrew said “You too…and thanks” Bobby said then she put the phone down and sighed then she walked out of the phone box and walked towards the university building. So if you're mad, get mad, don't hold it all inside, Come on and talk to me now. Hey there, what you got to hide? I get angry too, well, I'm alive like you.

Matt stared at Alf with a mean look on his face. Alf put his head down and when he looked up his eyes locked with Al Simpson who was sitting in the back smiling. Matt sat in his seat and sighed. Just talking about that night made him sad all over again. He then smiled to himself and looked around for someone. He looked all around the court and didn’t see her then he sighed and put his head down I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you, I'll stand by you. Baby, even to your darkest hour, and I'll never desert you, Caravan Park- Summer Bay Carly lay on her bed and watched Christopher playing on the floor. Pippa asked Carly to watch him while she went to the court to support Ailsa. Carly looked at Christopher innocently playing with his toys then she sat up. She felt a little light headed but was able to sit up. She picked up the mirror from her table and looked at herself. Her face looked normal. It didn’t look as if hours ago her nose was bleeding. Carly put the mirror down and laid back on her bed and held onto the pendent that Ben gave her then she sighed as she thought about the reason why she made Ben angry again…Matt…she hated Matt right now for what he was doing to her relationship. She had no intention of going to the court and she didn’t want to see Matt again I'll stand by you. And when, when the night falls on you baby, You're feeling all a lone, you're wandering on your own, I'll stand by you. High School- Summer Bay Donald stared at the newspaper on his desk. He didn’t know how long he had been staring at the headline ““Summer Bay local goes on trial for 1984 murder” He felt guilty that he was a free man while Alf was about to go on trial..he also felt guilty that he again betrayed Barbra by sleeping with Morag. Donald sighed “Knock on the door” “Yes come in” Donald said and the door opened “Ms Lawrence, what can I do for you?” Donald said as Debra walked into his office “Just your signature on the proposal we discussed about reducing the amount of academic trips” Debra said “Oh good” Donald said and Debra handed Donald a folder with the the paper he needed to sign Debra waited as Donald did a quick read through and when Donald was finished, he signed the document and gave the folder back to Debra to her but as she reached for it folder fell to the floor “Oh I am very sorry” Donald said and bent down “No it was my fault” Debra said and as she waited for Donald to pick up the papers. She noticed that he missed one and walked to the other side of the desk and picked it up when she did and stood up she got the shock of her life when she was met with the photo of someone from her past…someone she couldn’t forget “Thank you…please excuse me” Debra said and took the folder from Donald and rushed out of his office and closed the door. She rushed into the staff room and locked the door. She picked up the newspaper on the desk and the blood drained from her face. Debra felt faint and sat down as she looked at the photo as it reminded her of a wonderful time n her life...the photo reminded her of the man she once loved…. I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you, I'll stand by you, baby even to your darkest hour, And I'll never desert you, I'll stand by you, Background music ends

Before she closed the door she looked at him. He had a toy in his hand and was smiling at it. Laura felt butterflies in her stomach..this was her second chance. She closed the door securely and walked to the drivers door and opened it. Laura sat down and looked back at Christopher.

She got in, put her seat belt on and just as she was about to drive off, the engine stopped again When you've been loved When you know it holds such bliss Then the lover that you kissed Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight Ben caught up to Carly who was crying “Maybe you should call the police” Ben said “NO..no police..I will find him…just please help me look. He has to be around here somewhere” Carly said and ran off “CHRISTOPHER” Carly said as Ben rolled his eyes and looked at his watch So the words you could not say I'll sing them for you And the love we would have made I'll make it for two “Stupid car” Laura said as she put the hood of the car down again then sat down in the car and closed the door. She looked behind her as she heard Christopher laughing. He was in his own little world…as if he was talking to someone that Laura couldn’t see. “Baby” Christopher said and laughed as Laura looked at him. He looked really engaged in conversation with someone. Laura smiled then turned around “CHRISTOPHER” Laura froze when she heard someone shout for Christopher. Her heart began to beat fast as she revved the engine off the car and took the hand break off but the car wouldn’t move..Laura tried again but the car wouldn’t move. It felt as if someone was pushing on the car preventing it from moving forward. “CHRISTOPHER” Laura heard again as her heart beat fast “Mama” Christopher said and Laura sighed and finally realized what she was doing….what she was about to do. She suddently felt guilty…this wasn’t her secnd chance…this wasn’t her son….she had no right to take him “Baby” Christopher said and giggled in the back seat as a tear ran down lauras cheek For every single memory Has become a part of me You will always be My love Waldorf Creek Court- Waldorf creek “No further questions” The prosecution barrister said as he smiled at Al and Morag who got up and walked towards Al “Mr Simpson, where do you live?” Morag said “I have nowhere permanent right now but I am hoping that changes” Al said “Are you referring to the reward money you will get when Mr Stewart is convicted?” Morag said “No, I am referring to finally beign free of this secret I was carrying so I can start a new life” Al said and he smiled at Morag “Intersting…so tell me Mr Simpson, what took you so long to come forward with what you saw that night” Morag said “I didn’t know how to” Al said “What you really mean is you were in prison for an attempted bank robbery” Morag said “OBJECTION! Your honour, Mr Simpsons criminal record is not the subject of this case” The prosecution barrister said “I agree, overruled. Change the line of questioning” The judge said as he looked at Morag “Surely your honour, Mr Simpson serving a sentence should be taken into consideration since we are assuming he is a credible withness” Morag said “OBJECTION” The prosecution barrister said “Overruled. Move on” The judge said as he and Morgan looked at each other “Fine…Mr Simpson..What was you doing at Stewarts point the night of the accident?” Morag said “ I was doing some odd jobs for a family that live by there, I went to collect my wages..you know, to take care of my wife and daughter” Al said and smiled at Morag who felt uncomfortable when the subject of Bobby came up again “While you were up there, did you see Shane Wilson?” Morag said “Yes I did” Al said “Did you by any chance talk to him?” Morag said “Yes, I asked him what he was doing up there” Al said “What was his response?” Morag said “He said he was waiting for somebody” Al said and shrugged his shoulders “Wouldn’t you say it was an odd time of night for him to be up there?” Morag said “Hey, I am not his dad, I don’t care what he does” Al said “Interesting answer..I would’ve thought a respectable member of the community would take an interest in the children in the community” Morag said and smiled which irritated Al “Like I said, I had to get my wages and go home to my wife and daughter” Al said and he noticed Morag stop smiling “Mr Simpson…I don’t believe you saw Shane that night” Morag said “How do you know, you wasn’t there” Al said almost annoyed “Well I spoke to the residents of the houses by stewarts point and mounts point and none of them mentioned anything about reciving any visitors that night” Morag said and she smiled at Al then at The prosecution barrister. “Because I told the person I worked for not to say anything” Al said frustrated “Oh? Why is that?” Morag said with a forced look of concern on her face “Well I was getting some money for being unemployed at the time and I didn’t I didn’t want the government to know…besides..the money you sent for the upskeep of your daughter I was fostering wasn’t enough to take care of her” Al said as people in the court room gasped and began to whisper. Morag looked at Al who sat back in his chair and smiled at Morag who turned white as a sheet.. For every single memory Has become a part of me You will always be My love “CHRISTOPHER” Laura heard again as she stared at the steering wheel as tears ran down her cheeks.
