Aawh, bless Matthew for not leaving her bedside. This is so lovely, I love how Alice has the talk with her mum, so important.

Love grumpy Alice, I would imagine she would be like this in hospital. You make Hobart so sweet.

Gosh, that was frenetic. George Harvey deserves to be caught by Hobart, I'm sure he wasn't gentle. Praying for Alice to come ouot of surgery safely, she's had enough trouble in her life.

Oh no!

You’re right. He’s a dick.

Ooh, very tense, full of angst and fear, I'm glad she has the station on her side, and Hobart too.

I love this, the image of Matthew coming home to find his girls in a blanket fort, my kids used to make them all the time. Then, Alice's parents, well her father sounds like a piece of work, here's hoping Matthew sorts him out.

So intriguing! Love this au!

Ahhh...so sweet and lovely these two and all of them, really! Thanks for keeping this going!

I love this chapter, it's so lovely and rather domestic. The banter is fab, I am adoring little Anna. Sorry you're unemployed, contrary to popular belief enforced idleness doesn't always let the muse in. Keep safe.

I’m glad Cora called!

Oh wow! Love these scenes with these favorite people! Bravo and more!

I remember this episode and I love how you weave it into the story of Matthew and Alice, and Anna. You have written the thoughts everyone had very well.

Nice turnaround with McAvoy, he was a prick in the show. Poor Anna. My daughter did this to herself, four days before school photographs, I was the one devastated that she had to have a chin length bob, though it did suit her.

So wonderful seeing Matthew and Alice happy soul mates.
