Amelia stood in the kitchen when lillie-mae ran in "walk" amelia said knowing just how clumsy that her daughter was. She didnt want another bruise on Lillie's legs. "yes mummy" lillie siad and amelia smiled. She ran her hands through her hair and yawned. She grabbed her phone to see a text off of tom and smiled at it as Madison walked in holding summer, followed by rachel "grannie" lillie said as she ran over to rachel who picked her up "havent you got her breakfast ready amelia?" rachel asked and amelia glared "im sorting it, what does it look likeim doing writing a bloody book" Amelia said as she cut of the crusts of the toast that lillie didnt like. "maybe you should pay more attention to your daughter then tom clarkson" rachel said "mum" madison siad trying to stop rachel "so what? becauseim a mum, i cant hav a relationship" amelia asked "lillie-mae should be your responsibilty" "she is"amelia siad as rachel rolled her eyes and walked out. "shes such a cow" amelia said as she ran her hands through her blonde hair "hmm" "wait until she finds out about ou and the father of my child" amelia said and madison sighed "please, dont go there" madison said and amelia smiled she knew that Madison was dreading rachel finding out about her and max "she has to find out some time" amelia said "meelie, please" "i wont sya anything you know that madi" amelia said.

Amelia got to work after dropping dropping Lillie off at nursery, Tom spotted her and walked over to her. She was busy looking to Max, madison and summer "you okay?" tom asked and Amelia sighed "that's what i wanted for Lillie, the family but he ran off and yet again, hes found another interest rather than his daughter, he hasn't seen her in two weeks" Amelia said and tom smiled "i know its none of my business" "yeah?" "but you could always go for full custody" tom said and Amelia sighed, she knew how max would react and he would possibly win with the money he had. All she wanted was a family for her daughter, tom took her hands and Amelia smiled to him, she started to think that maybe they could have a future, maybe they could be a family. "tom" "hmm" tom said as he turned to face her "i love you" Amelia said for the first time, tom  turned to look at her and placed his hands on her face and kissed her "i love you too" he siad and amelia smiled "hows things with josh?" amelia asked "hard" tom siad and amelia smield "youll get there" amelia said.
