Lil' Montana
Chapter 3
O'Brian's was the name of the little café down the street which the team had decided to eat at. Hawkes had joined them saying he was so hungry he could eat a horse which then caused Rosie to hide Barney behind her back. No way was he getting anywhere near her horsie.
"Hey everyone" said the older waitress coming up to the table where they sat
"Hey Babs. How you doing?" Mac asked. Always the polite one
"I'm good thanks. Been workin' a 10 hours shift and can't wait to get off though!" Babs said. It was then she noticed Rosie who was sat in between Danny and Lindsay.
"And who is this little beauty?! Well aren't you just the sweetest thing!" cooed Babs
Rosie just hid behind her Mom, her shyness being brought back again. Lindsay just smiled knowing how her daughter could be.
"This is Rosie. Pumpkin say hi to Babs"
"Hi" she said meekly still behind her Mom
"Ah someones a bit shy aren't they?! Never mind pet, you'll grow out of it! Now what do you guy's want? Let me guess pepperoni pizza and cokes all round?" she said with a smile which turned into a laugh once everyone nodded their heads.
"And a strawberry milkshake too!" Rosie shouted out so that she wasn't ignored and
"Please" as an afterthought. Everyone laughed at that causing Rosie to blush.
"Alright then, pepperoni pizzas, cokes and one strawberry milkshake for the little girl over there" chuckling at her.
"Thanks Babs" Mac said as she started to walk away.
"Mommy I have to go to the toilet "Rosie whispered in Lindsay's ear
"Ok pumpkin. We'll be right back"
Once Lindsay and Rosie had gone into the toilets, the questions started.
"What's she doing here?"
"Who's the father?"
"Who's been looking after her?"
"How come we've never met her before?"
"STOP!" Mac said loudly which shut everyone up "Look I don't know all of the answers to your questions and you shouting them at me isn't going to get them answered, OK?"
Everyone nodded their heads and they all looked as though they had just been told of by their teacher.
"But… I do know that Rosie was living with her grandfather in Montana because Lindsay didn't want her to grow up here. But now her father is getting to old to be able to take care of Rosie, and she has no one else to ask to take care of her, so she's going to be living with her from now on. Plus, Lindsay said that she missed Rosie."
"Do you know who the father is?" Danny asked
"No and it's not up to me to tell you even if I did know. That's Lindsay choice to tell you if she wants to, but I have a feeling that he has no contact with him anymore"
"Who does that, hey? Abandon their own child and leaving the mother to do it all. Men" Stella said, trying to ignore the scowls she was getting from her male co workers. "Well you were all thinking it! Even if you are men"
"Not all men are like that Stel" Hawkes tried to reason with her
"Yeah but it just gets me annoyed that someone would wanna abandon their own flesh and blood."
"Yeah I guess Lindsay's had it pre…"
"SHH's she's coming back"
"What you guys talking about then while we were gone?" Lindsay asked as she and Rosie sat down.
"Oh nothing much, just saying how... ur... how... how strawberry milkshake tastes better than chocolate milkshake" Danny said trying to think of an excuse.
"You talked about milkshakes?" Lindsay asked unconvinced
"Yeah, Baby here got us all on the topic didn't ya?" Danny said rubbing Rosie's head
"My names not Baby! It's Rosie, Rosie Monroe" Rosie said stubbornly moving out of the way of Danny's hand.
"Yesh! You know Montana, you and her are exactly alike! You know that right?" Danny said while the rest of the group chuckled
"Yep, and we like to be called by our given names, don't we pumpkin?" Lindsay said giving Danny a mock glare
"Yep!" giving Danny the same glare.
"Wow that's freaky! You look the same as well! Jesus!" Danny said just as the food arrived
"Here we go pizza, cokes and last but not least, a strawberry milkshake for Rosie" Babs said chuckling as she eyed the milkshake hungrily
"What do you say Pumpkin?"
"Thank you"
"You're very welcome. What a polite girl you are" Babs said even though Rosie wasn't listening. She was too interested in drinking her milkshake
"I'll leave you to it then. Call me if ya need anything"
"Will do"
"God this is great pizza" Don said wolfing down a mouthful.
"Probably why we always come here" Danny said with his mouth full
"Danny, God close your mouth" Stella told him
"Sorry, MOM" Danny said as he finished his mouthful. What he didn't realise was that he had a bit of cheese hanging from the corner of his mouth. Rosie burst out laughing while at the same time snorting milkshake through her mouth…. and nose.
"ROSALIND!" Lindsay shouted
"It's not my fault! Danny's got cheese hanging from his mouth! It's funny!!!" Rosie said while trying to breathe and stop laughing at the same time.
"This is all your fault you know that" Lindsay said to Danny while glaring at him and trying to clean Rosie up.
"How is it my fault? She was the one who spat the milkshake out of her mouth!" Danny said trying to defend himself while wiping the offending cheese of his mouth.
"And through her nose" Don added
"NOT HELPING Don" Lindsay through gritted teeth "Oh my God, come on you need to go to the bathroom" dragging Rosie along.
"Smooth move Messer" Don said
"What?! It wasn't my fault!!!"
The others just look on in warily.
There we go hope you enjoyed it!
I did the milkshake thing once… it wasn't nice and it got EVERYWHERE! Lol!
