“Amy! Jacqui’s on line 2″ Paul said as he peaked in her office door

Amy sighed picking up the phone “Babe I can’t talk right now, I have so much to do and not enough time to do it”

Jacqui sighed hanging up the phone. “Looks like Amy’s not coming”

“Babe she’s probably just really busy” Spencer reassured “Let’s go Taylor and Ashley will be waiting”

Bette was getting out the car as Jacqui and Spencer were leaving.

“Hello” Bette smiled

“Hi” Jacqui sighed

“What’s wrong?” Bette asked

“I have a scan and no wife to attend it with me” Jacqui explained

“Amy’s really busy at work” Spencer stated

“How about your mother in law attends with you” Bette smiled

“You not too busy?” Jacqui asked

“Off course not, infact I’d be honoured to attend it with you” Bette smiled


“Amy you okay?” Jess asked

“Yes I’m fine, I’m just in way too deep” Amy stated “I have uni stuff to do, I have a game tonight and I don’t have the time to do it all, and I have a shit load of paper work to get through”

“You do know Jacqui has a scan in 20 minutes time” Jess stated

“Not today she doesn’t, that’s tomorrow” Amy replied

“No hunni it’s today” Jess smiled

“Shit!” Amy said jumping up and grabbing her car keys “I’m such an idiot”

“Your not an idiot your just a little stressed, Jacqui will understand” Jess smiled

Amy raced into the hospital…

“Your wife is devastated your not here” Spencer smirked

“What room they in?” Amy asked

“Upstairs second on the right!” Spencer smiled


Bette held Jacqui’s hand.

“You ready?” Taylor asked

Jacqui nodded.

Amy knocked then came in the room.

“Better late than never” Ashley smirked

“I’m an idiot I’m sorry, I thought it was tomorrow and I’m an idiot” Amy apologised

Amy took Jacqui’s other hand kissing her softly “Sorry”

“It’s okay you’re here now” Jacqui smiled

“Ok let’s do this” Taylor smirked

The examination was over within 10 minutes.

“Everything looks great babe” Ashley smiled

Taylor handed Jacqui the scan pictures.

Amy and Bette left the room

“Mama thanks for being here for her” Amy smiled

“No problem at all” Bette said hugging her daughter “I had every faith in you”

“Glad someone did, I was convinced it was tomorrow till Jess reminded me” Amy admitted “I need to go to London this weekend for a conference and I can’t get out of it”

“Your wife wont like that” Bette smiled

“Her’s doesn’t like it either, I also have so much work to do for work and uni work, not to mention a basketball game tonight that I can see far enough” Amy sighed

“Cant Paul and Jess do the work stuff?” Bette asked

“Nope it’s all mangers’ appraisals and my signature and emails I need to respond too” Amy admitted

“What do you need to do for uni?” Bette asked

“You don’t even want to know! We have to do a stupid show and I need to bloody dance and sing at the same time, it’s like pop group stuff it’s the worst assessment ever!” Amy huffed “And Coach Galloway will never forgive me if I bail on his game tonight”

Jacqui and Ashley came out the room

Amy automatically wrapped her arm around Jacqui.

“Ok guy’s I need to go I have another patient, see you tonight, nice to see you Bette” Ashley smiled before leaving

“You want me to take you home?” Amy asked

“If you’re not too busy” Jacqui answered “Thanks for coming with me Bette”

“Anything for my daughter in law” Bette smiled “However I had ever faith of Amy making it”

Amy smiled at her Mama “Thanks Mama”

“I’ll see you both later” Bette smiled

Jacqui clasped her hand through Amy’s.

“You okay babe? You sounded angry on the phone” Jacqui admitted

“I just have loads to do baby and not enough time to do it” Amy explained “And I need to go to London for the weekend”

“You’re kidding?” Jacqui sighed

“I wish I was, I’m really sorry” Amy apologised

“It’s not your fault baby” Jacqui said

“I tried absolutely everything to get out of it and had no luck”

“When you going?”

“Friday morning and I’ll be back late Monday night” Amy explained

“It’s only 3 sleeps” Jacqui smiled

“3 too many” Amy said “I hate being away from you”

“I hate it too but it needs to be done”

Amy drove into the drive way.

“I need to get class now” Amy said as she leaned in and kissed Jacqui “I love you and I’m sorry about nearly missing the appointment”

“Don’t worry about it; go before your late… I love you too”



Amy walked into the class everyone was in an uproar.

“What’s up?” Amy asked Kayleigh who merely handed her a sheet off paper

Amy looked at the sheet.

“This is clearly a wind up!” Amy laughed

“Least we get paired together” Kayleigh laughed

“I can’t believe your laughing” Daryl sighed

“If I don’t laugh I will cry” Kayleigh admitted

“Ok you all have your groups and the 3 songs you have been assigned…you also need to write a song from scratch and it needs to be a poppy boyband/girlband song.” Joanne stated “Amy a word!”

Amy walked over.

“You don’t look impressed!”

“I’m not!” Amy admitted “I can’t dance to save myself and I sing a totally different style of music and I write a different style of music, not to mention I will be a nervous wreck since I don’t have my guitar to hide behind!”

“Amy you have a lot more experience than everyone in this class…we need to challenge you a lot more than we do them to prove your capable, isn’t your wife a chorographer?”

“She was yes but that doesn’t mean I’m good at it, I suck big time at it, and Jacqui would be the first to tell you that, infact she’ll want front row seats just to laugh at me!”

“You’re an athlete you will be fine!” Joanne smirked

“And these song choices are ridiculous!” Amy finished as she walked back to Kayleigh


“Ok everyone get into your groups!” Joanne shouted

“The fucking vengaboys! Is she delusional?” Mark snapped

“It would appear so” Amy agreed

“Listen we just need to get on with it” Daryl stated

“Vengaboys – Boom Boom Boom Boom! A-teens- half way around the world and S club juniors – one fine day!” Kayleigh stated “I’ve not even heard of S club juniors or the A teen’s!”

“Let’s start you-tubing” Mark stated walking over to the computers

The four of them stood horrified!

“I can’t fucking sing!” Kayleigh snapped

“I can’t dance!”

“Were going to get the shit kicked out us!” Mark said to Daryl

Amy laughed at Mark

“The vengaboys one isn’t so bad!” Kayleigh smiled “Amy can sing it!”

“Oh can I?”

“Well considering you’re the only female in the group that can sing, yes!” Kayleigh smirked

“I’ll be telling you who’s singing the leads” Joanne smirked

“Your enjoying this aren’t you” Daryl stated

“Yep” Joanne laughed “Reminds me of when I was in university”

“Fantastic” Kayleigh muttered

“Amy you’re taking all the female leads and Mark your taking all the guy leads!”

“I might have guessed” Amy snapped

“You will just adore the chorography for this group!” Joanne smirked “I seen it last night!”

“Cant wait!” Amy snapped

“Ok guys everyone can go!” Joanne shouted “Good luck tonight Amy and Kayleigh!”


Amy and Kayleigh walked into the gym everyone was waiting on them.

“Glad you could make it!” Coach Galloway stated

“We had a class don’t snap at us take up with our lecturer!” Kayleigh stated

“Yes were here to study music not basketball!” Amy said sitting down

“Amy you’re playing shooting guard from now on!”

“WHAT?” Amanda snapped

“You were only keeping it warm” Amy smirked

“Amanda I’m moving you to point” Coach Galloway snapped “We also decided the captain of the team and after a lot of consideration Jay and I have decided Amy deserves it, she’s worked her arse off to get back to where she is now and she’s the best player for the job, co captain will be decided tonight!”

The girls all clapped as Jay put the C on Amy’s vest.



Bette, Tina and Nathan sat in the stands with Jess and Spencer.

Jacqui and Ashley came in just before the game started.

“Look Amy’s got the C on her vest, they made her captain” Nathan smiled “Check us out team Kennard Porter all the way!

“She looks really tired babe!” Tina said

“I know, she’s had one hell of a day today” Bette explained “She needs to go to London this weekend too”

Jacqui was listening on concerned

“Does she look okay to you?” Jacqui asked Ashley

“Ask me at half time!”


The first half was over and the all-stars were down by 18.

“What the hell is going on out there?” Coach Galloway snapped “Amy?”

“Why you asking me?”

“My shooting guard isn’t doing much shooting!”

“Maybe if your point guard would get the fucking ball!” Amy snapped “I’m not your star fucking tool so quit using me as it I’m human the same as the rest of the bloody team! I can’t shoot if I don’t have the ball”

“Put me back to shooting guard and we won’t have this problem!” Amanda snapped

“Listen your about to be an all star seeing stars if you don’t shut the fuck up!” Kayleigh snapped “Amy is the shooting guard get over it!”

“If we lose tonight were out the championship!” Jay stated “So lets just go out their and win this!”

The second half began.

“What the hell!” Nathan said

“What?” Tina asked

“Amy’s playing both positions and shutting Amanda out the game!” Nathan stated


“Amy what you doing?” Kayleigh asked

“Winning the game!” Amy stated

“Your going to kill yourself, let her play point!”

“She’s making and arse of it!” Amy said “I’m fine just help me win this game!”

Amy and Kayleigh were on fire getting the points back up.

Amanda was getting angry by the minute.

Amy scored another giving the all stars the lead.

“YES!” Coach Galloway smiled

“You are aware she’s shutting Amanda out the game!” Jay asked

“Yes and if she needs to do that for us to win I’m okay with that!”

Jay laughed “You shouldn’t have put Amanda in the point!”

“I had no where else to put her, Lynsey couldn’t play tonight so I needed Kayleigh in that position!”


“What the hell are you playing at?” Amanda snapped

“I’m doing your job for you; someone needs to because you clearly can’t!” Amy stated getting the ball she threw in the hoop winning the all-stars the game.

Amanda ran straight for Amy knocking her into the wall. Amy fell straight to the floor holding her right shoulder.

“AMY!” Nathan said running from the stands and jumping over the barrier over to his sister.

Ashley wasn’t far behind him.

“Your pregnant stay here!” Jess warned Jacqui as she and Spencer went down

Tina stood with Jacqui; Bette made her way down to Amy.

“What the hell is your problem?” Jess snapped at Amanda

Ashley and Spencer helped Amy up. Amy launched herself at Amanda, luckily Ashley and Spencer seen in coming and managed to restrain her.

“Your one stuck up jealous bitch!” Amy snapped “Let me go!” Amy demanded

“Babe your wife is in the stands watching so just chill out, she’s pregnant!” Spencer warned

“Amy your Mum is also watching, calm down now!” Bette warned

“She deliberately fucking done that!” Amy snapped

“We know we seen it!” Bette stated

“Let me go now!”

Ashley and Spencer let Amy go as she stormed into the locker room.

“Nathan go back up with you mum please!” Bette stated

Nathan looked from Bette then to Coach Galloway. “I hope you aren’t going to punish Amy for this!”

“Not at all Nathan do what your Mama says!”

“What about Amy?” Nathan asked

“I’ll go speak to your sister” Bette reassured “Go you let your Mum know Amy is okay”

“Come on buddy well come with you” Spencer said “Ashley and you Mama will go check on Amy”

Jess put her arm around Nathan as they walked back up to the stands.

“You better watch your back!” Jess said as she walked past Amanda

“Bitch!” Nathan snapped looking at her “My sister better be okay!”

The three of them walked up to the stands, Ashley and Bette went into the locker room.

“Amanda clean out your locker you’re off the team!” Coach Galloway instructed

“Why?” Amanda asked

“Are you for real?” Jay snapped “You just took out one of your own team! ON PURPOSE!”

“She took me out the game!!”

“You’re lucky she hasn’t taken you off the planet” Coach Galloway snapped “Locker emptied then leave my gym!”



“Are you okay sweetheart?” Bette asked

Amy sat on the bench with Kayleigh. She wiped her eyes and left the gym not uttering a word to them.

“Her arm is out the socket!” Ashley stated

“She has a cut on the back of her head too” Kayleigh told them

Amy got in her car driving straight home before Bette or Ashley could catch her.

“Tell Jacqui as little as possible we don’t want her worried or upset!” Ashley said to Bette as they walked back up the stands.

“Amy’s going to meet us at home” Ashley smiled

“Is she okay?” Jacqui asked worried

“Yeah she’s fine, just a little angry” Bette stated “You know what she’s like”

“We can’t blame her for being angry, I’d have took her teeth out” Jess stated

“Yes we know, let’s just all go home” Bette sighed

Tina looked at Bette. “She knew Bette was hiding something”

Jacqui followed Ashley and Spencer to the car with Jess.

“What’s going on?” Tina asked the minute they were in the car

“Amy stormed off, she was crying!” Bette explained “Ashley said her shoulder is out the socket and she has a cut on the back of her head”

“Do you think she’s went home?” Tina asked

“I do, but I also know she’s far to angry to talk to anyone right now”

Bette drove into the drive, she seen Amy’s car in her own driveway.

“Should we go over?” Tina asked

“No just leave her, Ashley’s going to see her when they get home” Bette explained

“She’s hurt Mama!” Nathan said

“She’ll be fine Nathan just trust me, Her temper is too high for anyone to go near her”

Ashley dropped Jess off before they headed home.

“Ok before we get out the car I have a confession” Ashley admitted

Jacqui looked at her.

“Amy stormed off before I properly got a chance to look at her, I know her shoulder is out of place but I never got to see the cut on the back of her head”

“Brilliant” Jacqui sighed getting out the car

“Babe she’s really angry maybe you should just leave her be!” Ashley suggested

“She’s my wife and right now she needs me”

“You’re pregnant” Spencer tried

“Don’t care!” Jacqui said opening the door

Amy wasn’t in the living room so Jacqui assumed she was upstairs. She sat her keys down and then made her way upstairs. Jacqui took a deep breath before opening the door.

Amy looked up from their bed. She wiped the tears from her eyes.

“Your ex is a complete and utter arse!” Amy stated

“She’s not my ex babe but yes she is an arse” Jacqui sighed sitting on the bed “Are you okay?”
“No I have a sore head, my shoulder is killing me and I feel sick, not to mention the fact I can’t calm down!”

“Baby your shoulder is dislocated; you shouldn’t have driven home like this!”

“I was so angry I just needed to get out of their” Amy admitted

“Baby you need to get your shoulder seen too” Jacqui said softly

“Its fine it’s just sore” Amy said

“No it’s dislocated baby, you need to get it seen too”

“How do you know?” Amy asked

“I can tell just by looking at it” Jacqui laughed

“It just looks a bit swollen and wonky” Amy said looking in the mirror

“You need to go to the hospital” Jacqui smirked

“Surely that’s not necessary” Amy huffed “Cant you look at it and fix it”

“I could…at the hospital but not here, you also have a cut on the back of your head”

“I know it stings!” Amy said

“You got blood on your pillow” Jacqui smirked “We can see what Ashley thinks”

Jacqui stood up walking over to Amy. “Let me see your head?”

Amy turned and Jacqui had a look “The cut isn’t deep but does need cleaned”

Jacqui opened their bedroom door signalling for Amy to go downstairs. Jacqui followed her.

“You okay babe?” Spencer asked

“Yes” Amy sighed “Jacqui thinks I need to go the hospital, what do you think?” Amy said looking at Ashley

“I agree, and I know you hate the place but I need to x-ray your shoulder”

“On the bright side it’s not your shooting arm” Spencer smiled

“I actually couldn’t care less, if she’s not off the team I won’t play for him” Amy stated “She done that out of jealousy!”

Ashley had a look at Amy’s shoulder and head.

“Let’s go get you sorted” Ashley smiled

“Are you coming?” Amy asked Jacqui

“Do you want me too?” Jacqui smiled knowing Amy’s answer

“If your not going I’m not going” Amy stated

“Look’s like were all going” Spencer smirked “I’m not staying here myself”


They all walked into the emergency room.

“Hey we heard what happened you okay?” Aiden asked

“Yes I’m fine” Amy stated

“What a bitch!” Aiden stated “As if your ex injured your wife!”

“She’s not my ex, she was a drunken mistake when I was 16 let’s clear that up just now!” Jacqui snapped

An hour later and Amy’s x-ray had been done. Ashley was looking at it with Spencer.

“Your going to have to help me to pop it back in” Ashley stated

“Babe I’m rubbish at this” Spencer admitted

“You’re a doctor, as your boss I’m helping you improve, let’s go” Ashley smirked “As your fiancé your supporting me, Amy terrifies me when she’s pissed off”

“Amy terrifies everyone when she’s pissed off” Spencer laughed

They walked back into the room. Jacqui had finished cleaning Amy’s head.

“What you doing?” Ashley asked

“You took too long” Jacqui smirked

“You’re pregnant!”

“So everyone keeps reminding me, I’m still capable of cleaning a head wound!” Jacqui stated “And after this well let’s just say Amy will just want to go home!”

“What’s that suppose to mean?” Amy asked “This is going to fucking hurt isn’t it?”

“Hey you’ve had a bone marrow done, you can handle anything now!” Spencer smiled

“Okay Spencer’s going help me, because Taylor and Jessie are busy” Ashley explained “This is gas and air; it will help with the pain”

An hour later they were on their way back home. Amy with her shoulder in a sling.

“Is it supposed to be this tight?” Amy asked

“Yes” Ashley smiled “You just can’t play basketball for a few weeks”

“Can I dance?” Amy asked

The three girls looked at her confused as they walked into the house.

“Excuse me?” Jacqui asked

“One of my assessments in uni is to dance and sing at the same time” Amy explained

Jacqui laughed as did Spencer.

“Yeah that’s not going to happen babe. Even if your shoulder wasn’t dislocated…you dance…hilarious!” Jacqui smirked

“Yes Amy you can dance” Ashley said shaking her head “You two are horrible, she’s had a shit night as it is without you both ripping the piss!”

“Let them…I couldn’t give a shit to be honest” Amy said going upstairs

“Guy’s that was lame” Ashley said to them

“We were joking” Spencer stated

“I wasn’t I’ve seen her dance and she has no patience or time for it” Jacqui smiled “She use to say I was wasting my time with it”

“Yes but now she’s getting made to do it for an exam and you both laughed at her!” Ashley told them

“Okay were sorry” Spencer apologised

“Not me you need to apologise too” Ashley yawned “I’m off to bed I’m in a six tomorrow morning”


Amy lay in the middle of the bed. Jacqui lay down on her side of the bed and Spencer lay at the other side of Amy.

“Were sorry for taking the piss” Spencer said

“Hey a dance assessment is the least of my worries, don’t worry about it” Amy said

“You seem pissed!” Spencer stated

“I am…I’m absolutely fuming she hurt me and I never even got to punch her teeth out!”

Spencer and Jacqui laughed.

“It’s not funny I now need to go to London with this ridiculous sling on my arm!” Amy told them

“You can’t drive either” Spencer smiled

“Say’s who! I can drive one handed!”

“Yeah you wont be driving baby” Jacqui laughed “Absolutely not!”



“I’m telling you Bette, her temper concerns me!” Tina sighed as she washed the dishes

“Baby she was angry!”

“She was ready to kill her!” Tina stated

“So would I if she had done what she did to me!”

“Exactly that’s my point!” Tina snapped “You need to speak to her; it’s you she takes it off!”

“This isn’t my fault…I thought she was extremely calm tonight”

“Only because Ashley and Spencer were holding her back, then she stormed off, that is not calm!”

“Did she hit anyone?” Bette asked

“No but…”

“In that case she was calm!” Bette snapped “That girl deliberately set out to hurt Amy!”

“I understand that, however our daughter needs to watch that temper or she’ll end up in a cell in my flipping station!”

“Amy’s her own person! Just because she has a temper doesn’t mean it’s my fault so quit blaming me for it everytime Nathan or Amy get angry I get the blame for passing on the temper! When was the last time I was extremely angry? Apart from the time some idiot nearly killed my wife and daughter!” Bette snapped leaving the kitchen

Tina ran her hands through her hair before following Bette.

“I don’t mean it like that Bette.”

“Then how else do you mean it Tina! I’m absolute sick of it, this kid are their own person they have me and you both in them. According to you they seem to get all their bad traits from me!”

“Bette…”

“No Tina save it! Amy had every right to be angry tonight…every right!”

“Mum…Mama?” Nathan asked

“Shut up Nathan!” Bette and Tina both snapped at the same time

Nathan shook his head leaving the house. Bette and Tina were oblivious to it.

Nathan opened Amy and Jacqui’s door. He walked in took his shoe’s off and made his way upstairs. He knocked on Amy and Jacqui’s bedroom door.

“Hey, can I stay here tonight?” Nathan asked

“Yeah off course you can” Amy stated

“What’s up?” Jacqui asked

“Mum and Mama are fighting” Nathan told them

“I’m off to bed” Spencer smiled getting up

Nathan took her space on the bed.

“Night” Spencer smiled

“Night” Amy and Jacqui both said

“What they fighting about?” Amy asked

“You” Nathan admitted

“Oh!” Amy sighed

“They both just shouted at me to shut up! So I left the house and came here” Nathan told them

“Do they know you’re here?” Jacqui asked

“I don’t know”

“Go get changed for bed and get to sleep you have school tomorrow” Amy stated

“Ok” Nathan said getting up “Sorry your hurt Amy…Again!”

“I’ll get over it!” Amy smiled “Bed go goodnight!”

Nathan left the room going into his own room and Amy and Jacqui’s.

“You’re really good with him, your going to be such a good Mum” Jacqui smiled

Amy lifted her phone and dialled Bette’s number. It went straight to voicemail.

“Hey Mama it’s me, When you and mum are done arguing you might be interested to know Nathan is staying here tonight” Amy put her phone down

Jacqui cuddled into her. “You okay?”

“Yeah just sore and this sling is so annoying” Amy yawned

“It will be for a few days babe” Jacqui said cuddling into her “Let’s get some sleep”
