You're my Flesh and Blood.
Chapter 1.
"Kat" Mo shouts "can you get down, here I need some cash" Kat signs and grabbed her dressing gown and puts it on. She goes down stairs and stops when she reaches the corridor. She was looking in the kitchen, at Zoe laughing.
"Nan, do you always have to be so bloody loud, you're like an old hag sometimes." Kat says as she enters the kitchen.
"Kat" Zoe whispers and gives Kat a laugh.
"Do you have some money or not?" Mo asks.
"No sorry Nan" Kat replies as she sits down next to Zoe
"So Zo, what you doing today? Do you want to come shopping with your sister?" Kat asks Zoe
"Oh, I can't Kat. I promised Nan I'd mind the stall." Zoe replied
"It's okay I just thought you'd have nothing to do." Kat says looking disappointed. Kat moves closer to Zoe and whispers "you know I love you right?"
"Err I guess. Why are you telling me this?" Zoe asks
Kat looks at her funny and says quietly "I'm your sister, I'm suppose to say I love you every once in a while". Kat tries to change the subject "hey it's your birthday next week, what do you want?"
"Not much. You always get me the most expensive presents. Zoe informs her "I don't want you to spend so much on me this year" Zoe gets up and makes her way out of the kitchen, to go upstairs.
Kat signs and looks at a picture of Zoe on the fridge. She gets up to look at it, she smiles.
"What you doing Kat?" Lynne asks from the kitchen door.
Kat jumps and turns around to look at Lynne. "Nothing" Kat replies
"DAD Where's my blue jeans, the one where the button came off?" Zoe shouts
"I don't know love!" Charlie Shouts back
...
"I love you Zoe" Kat mumbles in her sleep
Lynne throws a pillow at Kat which makes Kat wake up.
"What are you doing, you cow?" Kat says
"Ssshhhhh" Lynne whispers "You were talking in your sleep. 'I love you Zoe'. Zoe could have heard you"
"So what if she does she deserves to know the truth" Kat whispers
Lynne looks Kat in the eyes and says "you can't tell her it will break her. You know what dad says."
"Yeah I know but if you were me what would you do?" Kat signs and drops her head onto her pillow and turns away from Lynne.
"Kat don't start crying" Lynne says. She gets up and goes over to Kats bed "I know it's hard but you have to do it for Zoe. You've done it all these years. I know it feels like she's drifting away from you, it's because she's growing up. Just please don't tell her" Lynne goes done at her level and tries to hug her.
"I can't do it anymore Lynne, I just can't, she needs to know" Kat cries. "She needs to know that I'm her mother, and she needs to hear it from me."
