When Eddie was alone on the island, for a value of alone that meant 'without his wife and children', he began making a scrapbook for Emmy so that he could still, in this small way, be a part of her life, and she a part of his. It was a project that was not forgotten but set aside when they joined him the island and he could actually spend time with ( Read more... )

The worst part about the whole thing was that he wasn't even stoned ( Read more... )

Dated December, 2009:
Making time for getting high with Eddie is one of the most important things Lennox can do. So, in the snow, they take a few joints and go sit on a picnic table and discuss democracy, rules and island government. Sort of.

It's been a difficult week. She's brought one child into the world and lost another, and today's the first day that she's felt good being out of the hut. She doesn't go far, just to the swing seat in the Hamlet, with the loose fabric of her skirt blowing around her ankles and her baby, her new baby, cradled against her shoulder.

Here he is, ( Read more... )

Her stomach stopped rolling just in time for her to realise what day it was. The bump was big enough that it was actually starting to get in the way, but it didn't stop her seeing patients and it didn't stop her getting Emmy up and dressed. They visited the memorial wall and left some flowers for Jessica and Alianne and for Cutter and Amy, Neil ( Read more... )

Bill's iPod contained, among many, many others, quite a few songs by a band called Travis. He'd never heard of them before, but he suspected they were Scottish based on a snippet at the end of one of their songs where they could be heard talking. It was good music, if not exactly the type he'd immediately prefer, but after listening to them for a ( Read more... )

Emmy's getting better at the idea of having a little brother or sister. At first, Eddie and Lily had had to deal with a few tears before bedtimes, an explaination that they could have two children and love them both (And Lily's mum had had five) but, as the days went by, the first trimester well and truly over, Emmy's starting to get used to the ( Read more... )

Lennox wakes up on Eddie and Lily's couch back in Long Bay and no one knows quite what's going on. They discover soon enough that it isn't the Long Bay Lennox remembers, but the home Eddie and Lily left from.

After gathering all his courage, Lennox goes to see a Chris Cutter who doesn't ( Read more... )

It'd been a few days since the island kinda sorta got back to its usual self, but some people were still wandering around like they were a little lost and Eddie couldn't blame them. It was just weird, waking up at home for a couple of days - home just the way he remembered it - and then coming back to the island again like it never happened. Maybe ( Read more... )
