(After Gina comes to see Mum and asks for help.)

It hadn't taken much to get Harry to agree to come over for dinner which Mum counted as a blessing. She hadn't slept well, her dreams filled with images of the three kids, a mix of memories and worries intertwined to knot her stomach and bring on a migraine.

Checking on the roast, Mum whipped the potatoes, the soothing normalcy of it calming her nerves and steeling her resolve. We'll get through this. We'll find Ali. She'll be just fine. She's a smart lass. She'll be just fine. )

Gina finished the cigarette and ground it out under her shoe. She ran her fingers through her hair and walked toward the door. Stopping she turned back toward the street. She stood a second before turning again and with a determined stride walked to the door and knocked.

Just about to settle down in her favorite chair with a good book, Mum almost jumped when she heard the knock. With half a mind to ignore it, she grumbled as she unwound and stepped over to the door. If it's not Mr. Tall, Blonde and Handsome who just moved in across the street, I feel no remorse at kicking whoever it is to the curb!

''Hel--?'' Juliet's words died on her lips at the sight of her visitor. She started to shut the door. )

(Occurs during the party, specifically during the first part and before the Collaring Ceremony.)

Seeing Harry waiting where he'd left him when he'd run off to the loo, Matt grinned and made his way over. "Hey I'm back and boy you should have seen that lavatory! There were some things in there that I didn't recognize. And a woman cleaning a whip!!"

He suddenly realized that Harry was talking to someone else - a woman. "Oh I'm sorry ma'am. I didn't realize Harry was with someone. I'm Matt. Matt Damon."

"Good to see you again, Matt," Harry said, fighting the urge to shake his head. Whether this was how any of them wanted to be introduced or not, he couldn't exactly ignore the fact that Matt had just walked right up to them. ''This is Juliet Monaghan, Dominic's mother. Mum, this is Matt Damon.'' )

Mum thanked the security guard who'd brought her up to Sean's room. "Thank you luv. Give your wife my best. And for the tenth time, if she tells you she wants to make love then believe her. Heavens you men think women go to pieces when we're pregnant."

He blushed and left her just as she winked at him. Knocking the door, she braced herself to override any objections from her Harry. )

(occurs after Dom discusses the news with Harry, and Dom and Sean discuss the past.)

Waving off Dominic's attempt to help, Juliet refreshed the sandwich tray for their table and then moved over to the two orphans stranded uncomfortably on the couch in the den. "Now boys I know you can eat more than that. Big strapping fellows you are. Don't be shy!" She winked at Dwayne and Sala then returned to the living room where once again, she caught her other boys giving each other significant looks. Dominic was the worst and avoided her eyes as she entered.

Alright, I've had enough. What in the world is making you all act so twitchy? And not that I don't love you all, but to suddenly show up for tea is a bit out of the norm, my lads. )

Re-reading Harry's latest email which had already sent her into giggles more than once, Juliet sighed and wished him back to Balize already. Dear sweet Harry. All gruff and marshmallow. One particular line instantly conjured her image of him the very first time they met.

''Who in bloody hell are you and what are you doing in my Sean's rooms?'' )

(once Harry's a bit more alert and up to seeing visitors)

Dom carried the tub of cookies, munching on one as he walked. "So, he's a bit cranky Mum, poor old man, and missing Orlando like hell but of course he doesn't want him coming back from vacation."

''Dominic, if you eat another one of Harry's cookies, I will snatch you bald and I don't think even Trent will be upset.'' )

Delivered by courier to Harry from Mum

Harry!

After your outrageous gifts on my birthday, I knew I couldn't even attempt to match it. And you know me, have to get you practical things.

So, I hope you enjoy your day sweetheart! Many kisses from me,

Mum

(back story for Mum - she's looking for a way to start a business after her service debt ends and a friendly Retriever comes to her rescue)

Juliet could hardly see, she was that mad at the officious little toad that called himself the Assistant Manager at the Balize Home and Savings. She was equally mad at herself for not being more prepared. Trying to shake the gloom that fell over her, she paused for a moment, thinking she needed to sit down somewhere and just think for a bit.

Harry looked across the square, sure that he recognized the woman who had just exited the bank. Squinting a little, a wide smile broke out across his face. "Oi! Mum!" He hollered, then paused- realizing that was a bit too generic for a crowded street. Jogging forward he tried again. ''Hey- Dominic's Mum! )

A letter is taped to the outside of the box, which is delivered by Palace courier. Handwritten, in Harry's bold, distinctive writing, it reads:

Mum,



Happy birthday! I thought about asking you if you wanted to get together with me and Sean, Orlando and Eric and having dinner with you and Dominic, but I thought you'd like it better if you just got to have a night with your poppet alone. So that means we have a raincheck, yeah? You, me, Sean and our lovers, and you get one embarrassing question apiece. And don't tell Sean I said you could have that- just go with it and he'll blush and play along if I do.

I've sent a few things for you. And you aren't allowed to yell at me - one of the best parts about having a birthday is letting other people spoil you if they feel like it. So let us. Hope you like them.

Love Harry (and Orlando)

[First part: Mum delivers lunch and pie to her Wilding sweetie, Mads, Second part: Mum delivers pie, headache meds, and advice to a very hungover Harry.]

Leaving Harry's office, Mum moves back across the hall determined to peel a strip off Dominic's hide for not alerting her to the boys' conditions. Seeing his empty desk, she growls a bit. "Rotter! Prolly ran off to avoid my wrath!"

Hearing Sean's voice, she grins and decides there is no time like the present. Grabbing a boxed pie from the cartons stacked near her boy's desk, Mum makes her way over to Sala's station near Sean's door. ''Hello, sweetheart! You poor dear! Sean is a bit of a bugger when sober, and a right prat when hungover! Are you doing alright then? Did you enjoy the pie, luv?'' )
