Amelia sighed as she walked into the kitchen. She smiled as she saw Lillie mae who was sitting with max. Amelia looked to her little girl and smiled. She saw much of max as she looked to her daughter, Amelia walked into the kitchen as tom walked in and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. He kissed the back of her neck causing her to moan slightly before she turned to face him and smiled, "when's my daddy coming back?" Lillie mae asked as Amelia turned away and sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. Tom walked over to her and smiled "your daddy had to go away for a bit" tom said as the three year old looked to him in confusion, she didn't understand why or how her dad wasn't there anymore.

Amelia sighed as she walked out of the room and sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. She was worried that max would return and that he would tell Madison how she told him to leave or that he might and take Lillie mae from him. It scared her as she knew it wasn't the first time that he had threatened to do so. Tom followed Amelia and into the hallway and looked to her and smiled before he pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her head "everything is going to be okay" he said as he held her close.

Later that morning, Amelia got to work and stood in the staff room. She spotted Madison who was sitting in the corner. Amelia knew that she was upset over max leaving and wanted to do what was best for her sister, but she never wanted Madison to get hurt. Amelia walked over to her and smiled. "You know that your going to be okay, your strong and you have had bigger set backs then max leaving, it's going to be okay" Amelia said as Madison looked to her and smiled.

Amelia sat in the staff room and frowned as she saw tom who walked in with a worried expression "what is it?" She asked as she placed a pen down and sat back in her chair and looked to him and sighed "it's Rachel, your mum" he said as she looked to him and rolled her eyes "I'm aware who she is, I've put up with her for twenty two years" "she went after bianca vale and her father" he said as Amelia looked to him for a moment then looked to grantly. She stood up and walked over to grantly and glared "this is all your fault, if you just did your job instead of being a lazy goat then now of this would happen, who lets someone take a kid out of class without doing any checks" Amelia as she walked off out of the room. Tom walked after her and smiled as he placed a hand on her shoulders and looked to her and smiled "it will be okay" he said as she looked to him and nodded.

Later that day, Amelia walked into Rachel's office and looked to her and frowned as Rachel sighed to her. "Don't start Amelia" she said as Amelia looked to her and rolled her eyes "you were being selfish, you didn't think about me or Madison, or even Lillie mae. She has been through enough with max leaving, we all have and even if I hate to admit it as does Madison, we need you, your out mum" Amelia said as Rachel looked to her and smiled "I know and I'm sorry" Rachel said as she pulled Amelia into a hug.
