Ali and Mark’s shared-custody of Jamie was like a well-oiled machine. There had never been a single issue with it because they both refused to make something like that impact negatively on their child. It hadn’t even gone to court, not even close. They sat down one night and make a list of joint-parenting agreements and both signed in. Nothing had ever swayed from it. What it boiled down to right now was Jamie stayed with Mark every other weekend, and any time through the weekend she wanted to. The only exception these days was whether Justin was ill or not, because it could affect what was going on in Mark’s life. Sunshine understood that her big brother was sick. She understood it better than a lot of adults ever would, and with such a wisdom too. She absolutely adored Justin, and vice versa. So general arrangements were flexible with Mark.

Then recently, Mark was ill, which shook things up. Justin back in hospital too. But Mark’s parents were out from Australia indefinitely while Mark was physically incapacitated and having them on-hand to help made the well-oiled machine keep chugging along, just in a different way. Max babysat his niece and nephew all the time, and that day, part of his job was to deliver Sunshine to Mark’s place so her nana and granddad could take her to hospital to visit Justin and her daddy for a little while. She would collect Dory to go with her, because Justin had special permission to have Dory with him even in hospital because she was a working dog now that he was conscious. Even so, Mark was shooting to get Justin home after the weekend if he was doing okay.

Max was on the receiving end of a pile of sloppy little girl kisses from his niece, followed by warm hugs from Nana Campbell who was taking the babysitting baton... )
