Please update soon. Great chapter! Great story! :)

Stupid Alex and his temper has once again gotten him into big trouble, and all because of Michelle's bitchy attitude!
If Alex and Stevie had sticked to their plan and Alex just for once could keep his cool and think about Rose, then all would have been allright!

But I can understand how much it must hurt Alex, not only to witness Michelle attacking Stevie, but also being haunted by his own past of finding out his own father wasn't his real father, and that certainly didn't make it any better! And I guess as hotheaded as he is, he couldn't take it anymore, also since he knows how much this is eating Stevie up inside and obviously just wanted to get this issue over and done with once and for all!
However I am also certain that he didn't want everything to come out like this either! Michelle attacked his integrity, and he had had enough of the way Michelle kept attacking Stevie and just wanted to hurt her back! He was so angry that he didn't seem to realize what the consequences of his actions would do to Rose!

Stevie and Alex should have talked about how they were ging to tell Rose before she arrived, but because of Stevie's morning sickness and Stevie being so anxious about this whole matter, they haven't really been able to discuss it in detail how they were going to actually do this, really trying to tell Rose the truth in a way that would not harm her more than what only couldn't be avoided!

I hope talking to his mother can help Alex patch things up with Stevie and Rose, or at least make them listen to his apology and let him explain, why he just blurted the whole thing out like that! I also hope Liz can make Stevie see things from Alex' perspective!

While Rose is out riding, I hope she comes across Tom the new leading stationhand (I guessed that is what he must be, since Riley is the overseer), and that he makes sure she is allright and can be someone she will open up to, and get her to start working through everything she is feeling.
And hopefully Tom can bring her comfort, by telling her about himself and how he came to be here. Since he is unaffected in this matter, he can be neutral and see things more clearly and give Rose a different perspective, by not only let her see the negarive side on things, but instead let her know how lucky she also is, because she in contrast to him, has a family who actually cares about her.
It would be a really good thing, if he could be her confidant and support, so she has someone to be there for her, when she confronts her family about the truth of her existence!
I can't wait to find out how Rose is going to react, when she finds out the whole truth, and if she wants to stay at the station or even talk to Michelle!

I am also very worried about Stevie! I hope she doesn't faint and fall of her horse, since the stress has obviously caused her to vomit twice already, and without enough fluid anything can happen!
It would be a tragedy if all this causes a miscarriage!

Does Stevie have the letter and her other baby things? Can Stevie convince Rose about, how she has always had her in her heart and in her thoughts?

Awww sweet.

When a photo of Harry Ryan and Father Dominic has been printed in the newspaper, is someone from Harry's buried past going to recognize Harry as a relative he thought to believe wasn't alive anymore?
How is Harry going to react when that someone is suddenly knocking on his door and is greeting him with his former name Carl Weatherdon?
Is Harry finally going to reveal to Alex and Stevie and Nick and Tess, how his own anger and mean spirit came to be? And how will they react to this revelation?
Since Harry has never been this open and honest before with his sons, will this news help Harry bury their feud for good and have Alex call him dad again, or is it too big of a lie that Harry has been living with, that Alex and Nick doesn't want anything to do with him anymore?

I can certainly understand Stevie's fears about telling Rose the truth, especially about how she and Alex are going to explain why Stevie hasn't taken care of daughter, when they are able to handle three small children!
I don't think Alex is aware of how difficult it can be to communicate and make a teenager understand the bigger problems in life, and how life sometimes gets too complicated to want something really bad, but not be able to make things happen the way you want them to - that sometimes you have to make sacrifices, because you do not have any other choice!

I can understand why Stevie warns Regan about being careful about Marcie - but to her defense, the incident with Alexander was random, it could have been anyone else helping him, this was just a lucky coincidence!
And having similarities with Grace and being a mother and helping Alexander the way she did, she seems to be a completely harmless and very caring person!
If she wasn't harmless, she wouldn't have liked the dog following her and making sure Alexander would be ok!

Yeah, I never liked Ashleigh. Really good chapters. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful. Chapters 42 and 43 were very well done. I knew all along Harry had a soft spot. He just had to find it. Can't wait for the next chapter.

This was... well, I'm not really sure what to say. Sometimes I wonder if Stevie and Alex will ever manage to actually talk. Great writing though. Can't wait for the next chapter.

ummm... Should I be worried? Seriously, Stevie got hurt once already. Must she again?

Og god! Don't tell me she just opened the door without checking who's there. After what she said to Jodi about the security. Hope Stevie and everyone else will be ok. Or maybe it's not the bad guy...it could be Rose? haha Please update soon.

Sorry I've been quiet, been super busy. Great chapter. Very cute!

In sing song voice: "I know what happened to Jodie, I know what happened to Jodie."
Seriously, thought, this is great. You are very good at tying the show in with the fanfic. Keep it up.

No Jodie wasn't at the Cross Country ! I wonder where she got too? lol ..Sorry you'll have to wait for the next chapter...Maybe you'll find out then? I know where she is :) shhhhh

Yep, this is so Drover's and McLoed's daughters. But where is Jodi in all of this?

Oh, boy, where is this going? Love, love it. Keep it up.

Regan's Pregnant i just know it. is Jazz going to be this one and what's happening with Rob is everyone going to find out that his real name is Matt?
