A/N: I don't any of the H&A characters...I'm just borrowing them.
This is the end...for the moment. There will be a second part, so stay tuned!
EPILOGUE
Two days later, Jade answered the door. It was Max, wanting to know if the invitations had been sent out. The reunion was this Saturday, at Jade's house.
" Yup and we have a few RSVP's already." Jade told him, " Irene, Sally, Flynn. Dad, Kirsty and her family, plus Fisher are all coming."
" Cool. What about Alex, Noah, Hayley and Josh?"
" I haven't heard back form Hayley and Josh. Noah declined the invitation and so did Alex."
" Why? Alex had always loved a party."
" That was 20 years ago Max. Alex has changed ever since his sister left the Bay with her son." Jade reminded him.
" Everyone's changed," Max, muttered.
" Not true. I'm still the same old Jade and Nick hasn't changed either." Jade protested.
" We'll see." Max sighed, " Well, I'm coming and so is Tamara."
" What about your daughter?"
" Joanna's so painfully shy…she hates parties and crowds. She refuses to come."
" That's a shame. Maybe you can change her mind. It's still two days away." Jade pointed out, " Joanna shouldn't miss out on such a huge event. She'll get to meet all her daddy's friends and family."
" Maybe. Joanna can be really stubborn-takes after her mother that way."
Jade nodded and Max left the house then. On the way, he bumped into Jade's eldest son Thomas.
" Hey, where's the fire?" he called after Thomas. Thomas was practically running towards the front door.
" Mind your own business." Thomas snapped, facing him. He was sporting a nasty looking black eye.
" What happened?"
" Nothin'" Thomas said, " Leave me alone would you? I'm sick of seeing you around all the time!"
" Sorry buddy, but I can't help that." Max said. Thomas scowled at him before disappearing inside the house.
That kid has got some serious attitude. Max mused as he headed towards the café; I hope he grows out of it.
Max entered the café and saw Alex serving a woman with long, curly black hair. The woman looked familiar and when she turned to face him, his jaw dropped.
" Aunty Shelley? What are you doing here?"
Aunt Shelley smiled, " Nice to see you too Max."
