Amelia sighed to herself as she got to work. She walked into the staffroom and sat down. Her feet were killing her. Tom walked in after as he stood talking to Madison. Amelia couldn't help but feel guilt as she looked to her sister, she knew Madison was sad over max leaving and telling him to go. Tom walked over and sat with Amelia, he looked to her and smiled "are you okay?" He asked as she looked to him and sighed "tom in fat and pregnant and my feet kill and I'm only half way through the pregnancy" Amelia said as tom walked over and sat opposite her as he rubbed her feet "you love to moan" he said as she rolled her eyes. She frowned as she saw Kim who was having a go at Madison and she felt her blood boil as she stood up and walked over to her sister.

"Your pathetic, max left because he didn't even love you" Kim said to Madison as Amelia frowned. She could feel her anger boil "leave her alone" Amelia said as she looked to her and smirked "says you, the slag who is what twenty one and pregnant with the second time with a different baby daddy, I wouldn't even be shocked if it wasn't toms I know how you mason sisters like to put it about" Kim said as Amelia looked to her for a moment and slapped her. Kim cradled her cheek and looked to Amelia shocked "you are a jealous and bitter cow and all because max didn't love you and I don't blame him either, max wasn't interest in you and you need to let it go" Amelia said as she stormed off and out of the staffroom.

Amelia sat in her classroom and ran her hands through her hair as Madison walked in and looked to her and smirked "I gather by your temper that your not getting laid?" Madison said as Amelia rolled her eyes "I'm pregnant Madison, I'm too tired to at the moment" Amelia said as Madison looked to her and chuckled "I think that you need to" Madison said as Amelia rolled her eyes "I miss max" Madison said as Amelia looked to her and smiled "I know that you do" Amelia said. She couldn't help but feel guilty over it all.

Tom walked into Amelia's classroom and looked to her and smiled "are you okay?" Tom asked as Amelia shock her head "no, it's my fault max left, I told him to go and told him to leave Madison as she deserves better, I was trying to protect her. Max has a temper and I know because I received the end of his temper when we were together, he hit me once and it was an accident but I wanted to protect Madison and Lillie mae. I just wanted to protect Madison and she's going to hate me when she learns I am responsible for max leaving" Amelia said as tom walked over to her and hugged her "your not a bad person, Madison will understand" tom said as Amelia smiled. Hoping he was right.

Later that day, Amelia sat in the hospital with tom as they attended their scan. She sat with tom as she was called into the room. She sat on the bed as tom took a hold of her hand. The cold gel was placed on her stomach as she and tom looked to the screen and smiled "look at our baby" tom said as she smiled "everything looks good, would you like to know the sex?" The midwife asked "sure" Amelia said "it looks like your having a girl" she said as Amelia looked to tom and smiled.

Amelia got home later that night and frowned as she saw max. She felt he colour drain from her face "what are you doing here?" She asked as he sighed "I came to make things up, I'm sorry and I miss Lillie mae" he said as he nodded "she's with my mum, just go home max and we'll talk later and don't you dare hurt Madison or I will kill you" Amelia said as he nodded.
