Bella walked into her mum's house and smiled as she saw Lexie sitting there. She looked to her sister. "Hey you. Come here," she said as she pulled her sister into an hug.

Lexie looked to her. "I cause too much trouble. I missed you," she told her.

Bella smiled. She sat down with her and looked to her. "I've managed to get you into Waterloo Road. Don't even ask what I had to do."

Lexie nodded and smiled. She cuddled into her sister. "I've missed you."

"I missed you too. Is everything okay? You don't seem yourself," Bella commented.

Lexie sighed. She nodded. But she knew nothing was okay. Not with the secrets she was keeping.

Bella went into work. She saw Max and smiled. "So you didn't call me this morning. Shame. I had on my black thong... you know. The one you take off with your mouth."

Max smirked. "I was in a meeting from 7am. The LEA don't think that Rachel is doing a good job here. They want me to find proof she isn't coping," he told her.

Bella frowned. "I think Rachel is doing okay. You're not going to get someone fired for no reason Max. That's wrong," she said. She knew what Max was like.

Max sighed as he pulled her close. He kissed her. "I'm not getting her fired. I'm doing this so that she can get the support she needs. Okay?"

"Yeah. Okay."

Max smiled. "Don't be like that. I hate it when you're moody. Turns me off," he said.

Bella rolled her eyes. She pushed him away. "I don't care. You're not going to get Rachel fired. Promise me," she told him.

"Okay. I promise."

Bella watched as he walked off. She didn't trust him at all. But she knew he loved her.

Bella was sitting in the staffroom. She saw Tom and smiled. "Hey Clarky. How's it going?" She asked as she looked to him.

Tom smiled and nodded. "Yeah it was okay. I'm just tired. Was kept awake. Rose Kelly had someone round all night. Her bloody bed kept hitting off the wall."

Bella smirked. "Maybe you wish it was you. You should find someone to do that to you," she told him.

"If only. I'm not in the best of moods due to it. And I think you need to talk to Max. He's been sniffing around Kim. I don't want him to hurt you."

Bella smiled. "Max wouldn't cheat on me. He loves me. And I love him."

Tom sighed. "I'm only caring about you Bells. I know you love him. But just be careful won't you?"

"I will. I promise."

Bella went back to her flat. She saw Max's car there and sighed. Since Tom had told her how Max had been sniffing round Kim, she didn't trust him.

Max stood in her doorway with a smile on his face. "So I've been thinking. Why don't you and I try for a baby? I mean we're both in stable jobs, we have stable money coming in. So why not?" He suggested.

Bella frowned as she looked to him. "You want us to have a baby?" She asked.

Max nodded and kissed her. "I want us to be happy."

Bella looked to him and smiled. But could she have a baby with Max? Knowing that deep down, she didn't trust him.
