Tom walked into the house. He had been out with Max. They had been talking about how Max could fix the mess he was in with Charlee.

Tom saw Olivia sitting with Charlee. He smiled. "Hey. How's it going?" Tom asked.

Charlee sighed. "I should go. Thank you Tom. For giving Max the number for that lawyer. They're literally bringing up all of my past to prove I'm a crap mum."

"Charlee. I'm sorry."

"Don't."

Tom and Olivia were lying in bed with Lily. Olivia sighed. "This is a mess Tom. It really is. So you need to sort this. She's my sister and you betrayed me."

"I know. I'm sorry... he's my friend and I didn't want to betray him."

Olivia nodded and sighed. She looked at him. "We have to fix this. I don't want this coming between us. But she is my sister. And I'm firmly with her."

Tom kissed her as he took Lily and put her in the cot. "I'll sort it."

The next morning, the two of them walked into work. Olivia kissed him and walked off with Lily.

Tom knew he wanted to make it right. He didn't want to lose Olivia to an argument that wasn't even their's. Tom felt like he wanted to help Max be a father. But he couldn't lose Olivia.

Tom walked into the school and sighed. He saw the pupils acting saft. Tom walked over. "If you're going to do that, do it when you're at home," he said.

"Sorry Mr Clarkson."

The pupils all walked off. Tom sighed knowing he was feeling rotten. He hadn't slept so well.

Olivia smiled as she looked at him. "I'm not sure what's going on. But there's all cakes and stuff in the staffroom. I was going to take one of everything. But decided to wait for you."

Tom laughed and nodded. The two of them kissed and walked into the staffroom.

Olivia was sitting in her classroom. She looked up as Charlee walked in. She smiled. "Hey. How's it going?" She asked.

Charlee shrugged. "I don't know. It's all a mess. And I know that Max is literally doing whatever he can to make sure he gets this baby from me. I think my only option is to leave. And I really didn't want to."

Olivia frowned. "You can't leave because Max is an asshole. You're having a baby and you're going to need support. So don't go."

"I don't know. I really don't."

Olivia and Tom were cuddled up in the staffroom. She smiled as she looked at him. "So you know how we need some alone time, maybe my mum could have Lily this weekend and we go away?" She asked.

Tom smiled and nodded. They kissed passionately as Rachel walked in. "Hey mum. Do you think you could have Lily for us this weekend?" Olivia asked.

Rachel nodded. She looked at her. "Sure love. But there's something I need to tell you before you go. It's important," she told her.

Olivia just nodded and smiled. She watched as Rachel walked off. But what did she need to tell her? And would it change everything for her and Tom?
