Chapter 62: NERVES AND RESPECT: NOAH

Once the news died down and the press pack ran off to focus on a cheating NFL quarterback and some Amazonian Supermodel in Rio, I tried to focus on pulling the threads of my life together and incorporating my son into our lives.

Molly's parentage took a bit of smoothing over with the welfare staff and I shamelessly turned on my charm to get them on my side. It helped that the key worker's assistant was a Fr8Load fan. I tried to balance the story to them in respect of Maggie's loyalty toward her deceased sister because I knew Maggie wouldn't tolerate anyone who spoke in a derogatory manner about Shona.

As Maggie rightly pointed out, Shona had been a teenage mother and as far as anyone outside the family knew, she had made the tough decision to keep her baby and was raising her when she died.
