"Ruby, hey it's me. Listen about dinner tonight, can you come down to the Blaxland? Joey and I have had a eventful day. Thought it would be nice if we could catch up out on the water, chill out. You can bring a friend with you if you like."

Ruby listened to Charlie, curious herself as to exactly what had gone on that day. It was not unusual for Charlie to take time out with joey but to invite Ruby in times like that was rare. Ruby, admitedly was confused. What was going on? Were they ok?

...

"It's all setled. Ruby's coming for dinner. She might bring Xavier. Won't know for sure for another couple of hours. We have enough food don't we hon?" Charlie asked.

"Charlie, you bought enough to feed a small army. How you managed to pick it all up and still rescue me from Angelo, I dont know, you must be Super Woman." Joey laughed.

"Yeah, I'd fly in a microsecond to get to you Jo, to protect you from harm. You know what if I had those super powers I would turn the clock back right now, go back to when we first met and you took me out on the Blaxland the first time for lunch... remember?"

'How can I forget Charlie. You left me high and dry that day, I was so confused. I loved You, i knew it that day, but I just couldn't figure you out. I was sure you loved me and you ran away" Joey reminisced, a pain in her heart going off as she remembered her first time in Summer Bay and the events that led to her leaving.

"Ohh baby, I never meant to hurt you, I was just an idiot, too many wrong choices, but I have you back in my arms. My heart fulfilled. I never want to hurt you again. Don't ever let me forget Jo. Don't ever let me forget how happy I am!! And if i should ever do something stupid, please ...' Charlie stumbled to find her words, taking Joey's hands in hers, looking into her eyes, she continued "please Jo, promise me you'll remind me of today and how happy we are, and tell me how stupid I am to let it slip through my fingers."

"Charlie, c'mon take a couple of deep breaths. I think all the stress today has melted your brain. You just need to relax, take a couple of breathers. let me take care of you now. You saved me from Angelo, now let me return the favour and look after you and Ruby tonight..." Joey pushed Charlie towards the deck of the boat, kissing her Love deeply and passionately. As she guided Charlie to sit down and relax, her hands couldn't help but caress Charlie's torso, up and down before settling playfully on Charlie's belly button. Looking into Charlie's eyes, she whispered "I want to make love to you Leading Senior Constable. I want you right now!!" she purred softly into Charlie's ear.

....

Ruby headed down to the Pier to meet Charlie and Joey without Xavier. They had got back together a short while after Geoff had left Summer bay to become a missionary. For the most part, she was happy with Xavier but tonight, she wanted to spend some time alone with her Mum and Joey. Perhaps they'll even tell her what happened today. She continued on, alone with her thoughts.

....

Charlie was wrapped around Joey's body, reflecting on the day's events. The last hour had provided the girls with some much needed alone time and extra curricular fun. She kept thinking to herself how lucky she was to have Joey back in her life. Life was definitely looking up! Joey had awoken from her slumber to a smile as Charlie kissed her shoulder and neck, totally unaware that she was awake. As Charlie began the descent down her body, kissing joey in all the erogenous zones, Joey was turned on... again.

Charlie reached the sweet spot, continuing to kiss between Joey's legs, she felt Joey beneath her, responding to each kiss. Both girls bodies quivering with excitement. Joey was enjoying herself. She never wanted this moment to end. As she felt Charlie's tongue continue in deeper, she achieved climax. An eruption of climax like she had never felt before.

....

"Oh my... Charlie, Joey... Oh I am so sorry" Ruby screamed as she climbed aboard the Blaxland, taking in the view of her Mother and girlfriend asleep on the deck. She closed her eyes and turned around, hoping that she could erase the vision.

Charlie and Joey woke up startled, looking up they saw Ruby;s back turned towards them. Frantically, they grabbed the robes placed nearby, quickly putting them on.

Charlie walked towards Ruby saying "we are so sorry Rubz, we lost track of the time. We are so sorry... what can I do to make it up to you?"

Ruby turned around, a cheeky smile on her face "Oh mum... you don't have to make up it up to me. I'm glad you guys are ok. I'm just happy Xavier wasn't with me. Would have given him an eyeful hey?"

All three girls laughed at the thought, and headed inside to have dinner.

"Jo, you and Mum, you didn't.. you know over dinner while you were cooking did you?' asked Ruby with an expression of pure fright.

"Course not. Dinner was cooked before we began" Joey laughed in reply.

Dinner was eaten on the setback of a beautiful sunset. Charlie looked around her at Ruby and Joey, and the happy scene that surrounded her. Gone were the troublesome conversations with Ruby. In their place a wholesome relationship, with intimate conversations, laughing, dining and the closer it got to Ruby sitting her HSC exams, she was sleeping over more at Leah's place on the weekends.

Charlie wanted to have her daughter home with her, but with the HSC round the corner, she didn't want to press the issue. She was just happy Ruby had come back.

After dinner they sat back on the deck and relaxed. Charlie and Joey were lying together while Ruby was listening to Joey's IPOD. Moored in the middle of the waters, they continued to talk about the events of the day including Angelos return.

Ruby was shocked but relieved that Angelo had decided to do the right thing and leave.

Was he likely to come back and stir up more trouble, she thought to herself.

As though charlie had read her thoughts, she came and sat down next to Ruby saying "Don't worry about Angelo Rubz, he's not worth it. Joey and I, we're strong. I'm not leting her out of my life just cos some guy wants a family with me and thinks I have made a big mistake. I'm not letting her go again darling."

Ruby gave her mum a big hug, reassuring her of her support and happiness that Joey came back and that they gave the relationship a second chance.

Joey observed Charlie and Ruby, reminiscing of how troubled the relationship was when she first came back and how much it had grown.

Smiling at Charlie and reaching in, all three girls joined up for a group hug, all of them thinking the same thing.

'Wow, how much has this relationship evolved!!'
