After all this time Reenie had finally seen Pete for whst hevreally is. A peodophile. Reenie felt like a really bad mother due to the fact she had let Pete near her three daughters Porsche, Celine and Cleo.
"I swear if you've as such touched Kathleen-Angel or Myra-Pocahontas or upset Matthew I will kill you", Reenie said.
"You failed last time", Pete replied.
Reenie ran out of Pete's hospital room and bumped into Peri in her state causing Peri to drop her coffee on the floor. Reenie looked at the mess and back at Peri.
"Sorry love, let me buy you another one", Reenie said.
"No its fine, I was going to bin it anyway, wasn't as good as the coffee from Esther's magic bean", Peri replied.
Reenie tried to wipe away her tears but just found herself crying even more, she looked at Peri as Peri sat her down in the village.
"Would you like me to go and find Porsche, Celine or Cleo", Peri asked.
"No", Reenie replied.
"What's wrong", Peri asked.
Reenie sat crying, she didn't know what to say to Peri. She didn't want to scare her but would blame herself if Pete had tried to anything to her. Reenie took a deep breath and turned to look at Peri.
"I have failed as a mother", Reenie said.
"You haven't given up your daughters. I gave Steph up. If anyone failed as a mother its me", Peri replied.
"You know Pete", Reenie asked.
"Yeah, I've seen him", Peri replied.
"He has been having a relationship with Cleo", Reenie replied.
Peri felt physically sick. Pete seemed like a nice man. Reenie looked at Peri again thinking and then spoke up.
"Pete had also given Jade a phone", Reenie said.
"That must be why Jade has been shaken up", Peri replied.
Reenie wiped away her tears and smiled at Peri. Reenie got up and went to Esther's magic bean and saw Jack, Nancy, Charlie, Oscar and Jade and went to leave.
"Reenie", Jack said.
"Sorry", Reenie replied.
"What for, your the one who's suffered", Jack replied.
"How", Reenie asked.
"Darren mowing down Pete", Jack replied.
Reenie gave a half smile. She wanted to own up and tell Jack she stole one of Darren's Daz cabs to hit Pete with but then it would make the whole situation look worse.
"Let me buy you whatever you were getting", Jack said.
"Jack no", Reenie said.
"Please it's the least I can do", Jack replied.
"But your financial worries", Reenie said.
"I get paid to look after Jade", Jack said.
Seeing she wasn't winning Reenie took a deep breath and looked at Jack.
"A cup of tea and a slicevof chocolate cake please", Reenie said.
"Coming right up", Jack replied.
"You can sit with us", Nancy said.
Reenie awkwardly sat down next to Jade who smiled at her. Reenie looked over at Jack who was waiting for the order.
"What Pete did wasn't your fault", Jade said.
"I'm sorry about my daughter attacking you as well", Reenie replied.
"That was nothing. It was over a boy at school but we are both over him now", Jade replied lying.
"Which boy", Reenie asked.
"His called Alexander Diara, his Spanish", Jade replied.
"If you want help with your school work Cleo can help you", Reenie replied.
Jack came over with the cup of tea and the bigggest slice of chocolate cake ever. Reenie looked at the cake and had an idea. She got up and got some more plates and forks.
"I can't eat all this on my own, Jade would you like some", Reenie asked.
Jade naturally looked at Jack as in her old foster homes sometimes they would be really horrible and not feed her.
"Jade you can have some if you like", Jack said.
"Yes please", Jade replied.
Reenie put some cake on to Jade's plate and then looked at Charlie who was busy drawing a picture. Nancy looked at his picture and to her surprise it wasn't a picture of a dead body.
"What you drawing there", Reenie asked.
"Nancy, Darren and Oscar", Charlie replied.
"Where are you", Reenie asked.
"I'm there", Charlie replied and pointed to the person holding Oscar's hand.
"Would you like some cake", Reenie asked.
"Yes please", Charlie replied.
Reenie gave Charlie a little bit to Charlie and then looked at Nancy and Oscar. Oscar was looking at Charlie's chocolate cake.
"Would Oscar like some", Reenie asked.
"Would you like some chocolate cake", Nancy asked Oscar signing what she had just said.
Oscar looked up smiling and tried to grab some of Charlie's with his little hands. Charlie moved his plate away from him.
"Oscar would love some cake", Nancy replied.
Reenie gave Oscar some cake and looked at Oscar who signed thank you to her. Nancy smiled at him and gave him praise.
"Good boy", Nancy said.
"You kind of miss it when they are young, Porsche, Celine and Cleo used to always have cake for a desert", Reenie said.
Everyone smiled.
