Chapter Three
Matt Devlin Flat
Central London
Once Lilly had woken up from her nap, madness had once again descend into the Devlin household. The kitchen looked like a flour bomb had hit due to the flour fight between Matt and Lilly, Lilly's bedroom had toys spread out across the floor, and the lounge looked in the same state as her bedroom. But the feeling was of love and that it was a home, not just some plan old flat with no love.
Alesha was on the huge operation to clean up the flat, ready for everybody coming round for dinner. First room on her hit list was the Kitchen, as this is where they would be eating tonight. Also it was the room in the biggest mess.
So plugged her iPod in the dock and started to clean. Completely unaware that
Matt and Lilly where stood in the door way watching her singing and dancing as she cleaned. Once the song had finished Matt made himself known and said "Well Lilly has 'Lesh not got a nice voice?"
Lilly nodded happily and laughing. Alesha then said "Thank you. Anyway Mr you have to help get this house clean as our friends will be here in about an 1hr and 1/2."
Matt then laughed " 'Lesh my dear they all have children and this flat does not have to look spotless. It shall not stay that way, first lesson with children a clean house does not stay clean for very long. I have cleared up the lounge and all the toys are in Lilly's toy box. You have done the Kitchen. All that left is to cook dinner and give this one here a bath while I need a shower."
The second that Lilly heard the word bath she started to get worried and shouted at the top of her lungs "NO BATH, COLD AND SMELL FUNNY LIKE KITCHEN."
Matt then said "Sweetie, how about Alesha gives you one and I am sure that there are toys you can play with that only work in the bath. You will be allclean and smell nice when Ronnie comes over."
Lilly's eyes lit up at the mention of seeing her Godfather, but still unsure at the thought of having a bath and said "Ok daddy." So Matt passed Lilly across to Alesha and both of them headed up stairs to get ready.
While Matt placed dinner into the oven which was chicken curry and placed the potatoes into the oven as well. After he did this he headed to the en-suite and had a shower. So he was no longer covered in flour. Completely unaware that Alesha had a photo of him and Lilly smiling covered in flour.
Matt then changed into a pair of jeans and a long sleeve blue jumper and headed back downstairs to finish dinner.
Meanwhile Alesha started to run a bath and get out the bath toys which happened to be very old and mostly likely Matt's. Lilly was still unsure of what would happen as usually Lilly's mum baths her in water and belch. Once the bath was run, Alesha striped Lilly out of her clothes and placed her into the bath.
The second Lilly was in the water she stared to get worked up. But when Alesha started to play with the toys Lilly knew it was becoming a good thing. They played races with the rubber ducks and the wind up swimming duck. There was a small issue of when Alesha tried to wash her. But with the promise of having some chocolate if she was good. Lilly did so without a fuss.
Once Alesha had dried Lilly she dressed her in a pair of dark blue legging with skirt covered in small red hearts, with a long sleeve dark blue top with a huge heart on it. This was one of the things bought by Matt after he been in court this morning. As when he got Lilly she only had the clothes that she was wearing and what had been left over from last time Lilly had visited him.
Once Lilly was ready with her hair bushed and placed. She headed off to see
Matt to inform him of the fun time she had in the bath. This gave a chance for
Alesha to change into a pair of black leggings, a white long bodied tee-shirt with and a long black cardigan. Also she let her hair down and put on a small amount of makeup.
Alesha then headed out into the kitchen to see what Matt and Lilly where up to.

Outside the M.I.U offices
Bow Street
George and James where stood outside the M.I.U office waiting for Ronnie and
Natalie to finish for the day. Both were armed with gifts for Lilly, Matt and
Alesha.
James had got a bunch flowers and chocolates for Alesha and Matt and a happyland village set. George has a bottle of wine and two tops with matching bottoms.
When Ronnie and Natalie had come out of the office they were also armed with gifts. Natalie was armed also with a bottle of wine, and a soft cuddly teddy bear. While Ronnie had a no actual gift for the couple he was going to offer babysitting Lilly twice a month while the happy couple could go out on dates.
Also he was armed with 2 gift bags full of toys and clothes for Lilly.
Once everybody was ready they headed over to Ronnie's car. Placed the gifts in the boot and then sat in the car. Ronnie and Natalie were in the front so James and George were in the back.
James then broke the silence and asked Natalie "Natalie how come you knew that Alesha and Matt are dating?"
Natalie answered "Since Alesha's rape we meet up once a week for coffee. See how she's getting on and stuff like a mother daughter bond. She mostly talks and I'll listen and give my advice when needed. It's mostly dates gone wrong and stuff. Then she kept saying about this bloke she was seeing and then a few weeks ago she let slip it was Matt. Also Ronnie I thought you would of guessed
Matt was seeing someone as he keeps coming in smelling of flowers on a Monday morning. Not a word of this gets out understood they will tell us when they are ready or I will make your life hell."
Before George could say anything Ronnie parked the car into a space near the building and sent a text to Matt saying 'Just pulled up outside. Ron'
Meanwhile Matt was putting the last bits to dinner when his phone went off and saw the text and replied 'Meet you down stairs. Matt'
While Matt was typing that he yelled out and said " 'Lesh they are here, going to meet them downstairs."
