A.N - After 'Perfect Catch' I decided to do a sequeal. This will see Ronnie & Jack 10 years on. Any confusion just ask away. Thank you.
Chapter 1 - Who's That Girl?
A small blonde girl bounced out of bed at the smell of fresh bacon. In her high school musical pyjama's and pink slippers she made her way down the stairs, along the hall and into the kitchen, taking a seat at the table.
"Morning sleepy head", Ronnie said turning round to face her daughter.
"I love the smell of bacon in the morning", she replied happily.
"You take after your dad", Ronnie spoke serving breakfast. "And I hear him now."
A couple of seconds later a tall, muscular man appeared at the kitchen door. "Good morning gorgeous", he begun softly kissing her cheek. "And you too Libby", he added while taking a seat at the table.
"Tuck in", Ronnie said taking a seat too. Several minutes later all three had finished their breakfasts, not a crumb in sight.
"You do make the best bacon", Steve said lovingly.
"So you say ... every morning", Ronnie teased before turning her attention to Libby.
"What you looking at me like that for?", Libby asked before taking a sip of orange juice.
"You know why", Steve said before Ronnie could get her words out.
"But I don't want to go to school", Libby moaned.
"I don't care if you want to or not, you're going and that's final", Ronnie said sternly prompting Libby to storm out the kitchen and up the stairs.
"And just when everything was going well this morning", Steve said while Ronnie began to clean up. Steve stood up and wrapped his arms around Ronnie, placing his hands on her stomach. "How about we have another one. Give Libby a little brother or sister."
Ronnie smiled at the idea, turning round to face Steve. "Maybe in another couple of year. I want to be married first, do it properly this time."
"Is that a marriage proposal Veronica", Steve asked grinning.
"That's the man's job", Ronnie said as she made her way out the kitchen. "And for calling me Veronica, you can do the dishes before you shoot off to work."
"Great", Steve muttered quietly before sticking his hands into the soapy water.

20 minutes had passed and Ronnie was fully dressed, wearing her favourite purple top and black trousers. She stood outside her daughters' room banging on the door. "We need to leave in the next 5 minutes or you will be late for school."
"Then I'll be late", Libby shouted.
"If you don't come out on the count of three I'm coming in", Ronnie yelled.
"No you can't", Libby shouted back defensively.
"1 .... 2 .... 3 ...."
Ronnie opened the door making Libby spin round in the other direction so her mother couldn't see her face. "Libby I'm in no mood for playing games. Now come on." Ronnie grabbed hold of Libby's arm pulling her round however Libby remained head down. "Libby!", Ronnie shouted lifting her head, laughing at the sight.
"All the girls are wearing make-up and the boys laugh at me cos' I'm the only one without it on. They keep calling me Ugly Betty", Libby spoke while sulking.
Ronnie sat Libby down on her small bed. "Make-up isn't everything. It's what's on the inside that counts. And boys are stupid; they're just picking on you because they like you. I mean who wouldn't you're a beautiful girl."
"Really?!", Libby said surprised. "But your beautiful and still wear make-up."
"That's because I'm a grown up", Ronnie said rubbing Libby's black eyes. "I tell you what. How about you have the day off and help him in the club."
Libby's' face lit up for a few seconds before returning to a frown. "Dad won't let me."
"Dad is going to work soon. He leaves before us. It can be our little secret", Ronnie promised prompting Libby to hug her mother tightly.
"I love you mum."
"I love you too", Ronnie said planting a kiss on Libby's head. "Tell you what when dad's gone I will phone school while you get changed into whatever you want and I will ring Auntie Roxy and ask her to come down to the club and give you the best makeover ever."
"Yeah!", Libby shouted with excitement. "This is going to be the best Monday ever."
"shh! Keep your voice down. Don't want dad ruining the day do we", Ronnie whispered.
At that moment Steve shouted up the stairs, "Right I'm off to work. Have a good day princesses." Seconds later the front door slammed allowing Ronnie and Libby to start with their plans of the day.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A little while later Libby happily ran down the stairs and into the living where Ronnie and Roxy were sat.
"Aunty Roxy", Libby shouted running over to her and hugging her tightly.
"Doesn't someone look cute today", Roxy said looking at Libby who had put on her best outfit.
"Right well you two can continue this discussion on the way to the club", Ronnie said while passing Libby her coat.
"You got your make-up Aunty Roxy", Libby asked as the three blondes made their way out the house.
"All the essentials are in my bag", Roxy said making Libby beam with excitement.
Ronnie locked the door and followed her sister and daughter across the road past as a grey BMW, with blacked out windows.
"Mind I don't want my daughter looking like a doll", Ronnie said seriously making Roxy and Libby laugh in sequence.
