Ronnie violently grabbed the bottle of vodka and watched the transparent liquid gurgle out into her glass. She looked on with disgust as her aunty and father locked lips for the millionth time that night. She'll see the real Archie soon, Ronnie thought to herself whilst throwing her head back and downing the drink.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to take this opportunity to ask everyone in the nicest possible way to shut up and listen up. Excuse me…" Roxy shot Mo a murderous look "…Thank you. Now, myself and Ben are going to sing a duet, a cover of 'When The Stars Go Blue' by The Corrs. Right, you ready kid?" As Ben came over to the front to join Roxy, Ronnie decided to head upstairs to check on Amy as a sing-song was the last thing she needed right now.

She quietly entered the baby's room, sat down beside Amy's cot, and stared longingly as she slept. Roxy had no idea how lucky she was. She had her daughter, financial security from the father, and a loving family around her. Amy began to stir. Ronnie cooed the baby, and settled her down again before placing the baby monitor nearer to Amy so she could be heard over the noise downstairs.

She headed back down hoping that she could just get through tonight. Peggy had done so much for her and her sister, the least Ronnie could do was show her support to her aunty. As Ronnie entered the bar, she heard a loud squeal and a roar of playful 'boos' from the crowd (mainly aimed at Roxy).

"Ooooooo Sensual baby…"

"Where do you go when you're blue yeahhh yeah he…

"Follow you, follow you, follow you…"

"Yeah eh hee hee…"

Roxy had completely missed the high notes and had now took hold of Ben's hand, and had raised it to form an upside down V shape as they took an united bow. Ben gave his auntie a quick peck on the cheek.

Ronnie starred as her sister embraced their nephew in a tight hug. If she was going to do this, it had to be now.

"Rox, give us the mike' will ya" Ronnie flicked the pages of the catalogue.

"Ooo watch out everyone, Veronica's on the loose" Roxy teased he big sister as she and Ben left to take their seats.

"Well it can't be worse than Roxy's voice can it love?" Mo held a cheeky grin as she winked at Ronnie.

Ronnie punched the numbers into the machine and waited for the track to start. All the hurt her father had caused her was going to come pouring out of Ronnie, but there was no going back now as the drum rhythm kicked into life as it roared through the speakers.

A/N Sorry short chapter, but the next few are much longer. Hmm I wonder where Danielle's got to? Wasn't there a very angry Jeanine in a read sports car driving about this time? We'll have to wait and see...
