The weekend after the incident, as Rachel had begun to refer to it, they drove home with Rachel behind the wheel (Jake arguing the whole way, because in his opinion, his swollen eyes were nothing to worry about and he was perfectly capable of driving). Arranging to meet Alex and Grace for lunch at the Rafter house (while making arrangements for Libby and the boys to meet them there too); they set off right after breakfast, Ruby singing brightly from the backseat.

"We're almost here, Rubes!" Jake said brightly, turning around to smile at the little girl.

"Almost there", Rachel echoed, as she turned into the street she had called home. Stopping the car between the Rafter house and the Calamari Castle, she turned off the engine before glancing towards her daughter.

"Ready to see everyone?"

"Yes!" Ruby bounced a little, wriggling in her car seat. "Lemme out please!"

Jake unbuckled her seatbelt before lifting her out, allowing her to run in front and knock on the door.

"Grandpa!" she said excitedly, hugging the older man, motioning for Rachel and Jake to hurry up. "Mummy!"

"Jake, what the hell happened?" Dave wanted to know, as Ruby lead the pair inside.

"He hurt himself", Ruby informed her grandfather, taking Nathan's hand and dragging the boy towards the door. "Where's Uncle Ben?"

"Protecting your girls, Mr Rafter, like you told me to", Jake said sheepishly.

"Daniel's back in town", Rachel said quietly, and Dave grabbed his car keys.

"I'm going to-"

"I took care of it, Mr Rafter", Jake spoke up. If his eyes hadn't been so bruised and swollen, he would have looked almost proud of himself. "Guess what? He's never gonna come near Rachel or Ruby again. He's probably not even going to come to Sydney".

"You're a legend", Ben said from the doorway.

"Camel and George are sorry they missed out", Rachel spoke up.

"Wait, start from the beginning", Julie said firmly.

"well, Daniel contacted me, wanting to meet up and then Ruby got some death flu bug thing, and then Jake and I got it, and then I met up with Daniel, told him never to contact me again, and he contacted me again and Jake tore him to shreds". Rachel shrugged. "You're caught up, basically.

There was a knock at the door, and Carbo poked his head inside. "Look who I found outside!" he said, not even waiting for an invitation.

"Aunty Libby!" Ruby said excitedly, running towards the girl.

"Ruby Lou, look at you!" Libby knelt down slightly, grabbing the little girl in her arms and spinning around, the pair giggling.

"Mate!" Camel laughed, as Ruby was passed to him. "You've grown a foot!"

"No!" Ruby laughed, holding her arms out for her beloved uncle George. "I didn't even grow!"

With Dave, Julie and Grace handling it, they were able to sort out the legal side of things. In the next two weeks, it was cleared that Daniel Griggs would never come near Rachel again, and the couple could go back to living the way they had been.
