By the way, this is just before Christmas
It was the next day and Roxy woke up to her daughter standing at the bottom of her bed.
"Mummy" Amy said.
"Do you want to come in for a cuddle" Roxy asked and Amy nodded. Roxy helped Amy into the bed.
"Good girl" Roxy said as she cuddled up with Amy.
"Ames, do you want to go shopping with me and Ineta" Roxy asked and Amy made a face.
"Okay, do you just want to stay with Auntie Ronnie?" Roxy asked and Amy nodded getting excited.
"That's fine then, go and tell Auntie Ron then" Roxy said as she knew that Amy wasn't going to stay still for much longer. Amy climbed out the bed and ran to Ronnie and Charlie's room and opened the door.
They were both sleeping and Amy ran over to Ronnie's side of the bed.
"Auntie Ronnie" Amy shouted and Ronnie opened her eyes.
"Oh hey, Ames what's wrong?" Ronnie asked.
"Can I stay with you today? Mum and Ineta are going shopping but I don't want to" Amy said and Ronnie nodded.
"Of course, you can" Ronnie said helping Amy onto her bed.
"We will have more fun than them, won't we" Ronnie said as she tickled Amy and Amy nodded.
"Can we make cookies" Amy asked and Ronnie nodded.
"Oh course, we can" Ronnie said and Amy smiled before jumping off the bed. She then ran out the room.
Roxy had a shower and quickly got changed. She walked down the stairs to see Ronnie tending to Amy.
"Thank you Ron, I'm going to go and see Aleks and Ineta" Roxy explained and Ronnie nodded.
"Ron, can I talk to you for a second" Roxy asked and Ronnie nodded. They stepped out into the hallway so Amy couldn't hear them.
"I was thinking about asking Aleks to move in again" Roxy explained.
"I just think it might be easier, instead of me having to run around" Roxy explained and Ronnie nodded.
"I understand the logic but just watched Amy. She isn't used to you spending time with other people, she might get alone with Ineta just know but you will have to watch them when they start to be more like sisters than friends" Ronnie explained and Roxy nodded.
"I might mention it to Aleks, maybe we could wait until after the wedding. That's only just over a week away" Roxy said and Ronnie nodded.
"Don't say anything to Ineta until you have spoken to Aleks" Ronnie said and Roxy nodded.
"I'm not that stupid" Roxy said and Ronnie raised her eyebrow.
They talked for a bit longer before Roxy left to go and find Aleks. She arrived at Aleks and walked in.
"Hey, Ineta is still getting ready. She will just be a second" Aleks said and Roxy nodded.
"That's fine" Roxy said smiling. She looked at Aleks and decided to be brave and ask him.
"Aleks I was thinking maybe after the wedding, maybe after the wedding would you and Ineta like to move in with me" Roxy asked a little nervous.
"I think we would both like that. Can I ask Ineta?" Aleks asked and Roxy nodded just as they were talking Ineta walked into the room.
"What?" Ineta asked.
"Well Roxy was wondering if after the wedding would you like to move in with her" Aleks asked her and Ineta shrugged. She didn't see to impress with the idea.
Roxy was a little surprised as she thought that she starting to get somewhere with Ineta. She sighed but decided to just leave it at that.
"Are you ready to go out?" Roxy asked and Ineta nodded.
"Shoes and jacket" Aleks said and Ineta rolled her eyes and sighed before walking back to her room.
"She is being very moody today" Aleks said and Roxy nodded.
"It's okay, I'll talk to her" Roxy said smiling. She hoped that the girl was going to sort her attitude out. She didn't want to spend the whole day shopping and bickering with her.
The girl came back into the room.
"Are you ready to go?" Roxy asked and Ineta nodded.
They climbed into Roxy's car and headed to the shopping centre, Ineta was being really quiet and it was worrying Roxy.
"Are you okay?" Roxy asked and Ineta nodded. They arrived at the shopping centre and climbed out the car. Ineta seemed a little happier.
"Where do you want to go?" Roxy asked and Ineta shrugged. She didn't know any shops here.
"Ineta drop the attitude, what shop do you want to shop in" Roxy asked.
"Es nezinu nevienu veikalu , man" Ineta shouted.
"I don't have a clue what you just said but I want you to drop the attitude and sort yourself out or we will be going home" Roxy said. Ineta sighed walking around before stopping. Roxy could tell she was thinking about what to say.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what is going on? I don't know the shops, it's confusing" Ineta said and Roxy nodded.
"Hey, it's okay" Roxy said putting her arms around her soon to be step daughter. "I forgot it's okay"
Ineta nodded and then Roxy walked into a close shop. Ineta followed and they ended up at the teenage section.
Ineta was amazed, she really liked the clothing here and ended up with a whole new wardrobe.
"Do you want all of this?" Roxy asked and Ineta nodded.
"But it's okay, you deserve it all" Roxy said.
"It's too much, I'll leave some" Ineta said.
"No sweetie you can have it" Roxy said.
They carried on shopping and Ineta ended up with a lot of clothes. She was really happy with everything she got. They then decided to head home.
They climbed into the car and started heading home. After spending the day with Roxy, Ineta's mood had improved a lot but now she was starting to have a sore stomach.
"What's wrong?" Roxy asked.
"My tummy" She said.
"What do you mean?" Roxy said.
"It's just sore" Ineta said.
"Where about?" Roxy asked and Ineta pointed to her lower abdomen and Roxy looked unsure.
"Do you want some medicine" Roxy asked and Ineta nodded. Roxy gave her a paracetamol before carrying on driving.
"Do you get it often?" Roxy asked.
"No, it's never felt like this before" Ineta said. She was a little worried. Roxy could sense this.
"Hey don't worry about it" Roxy said and Ineta looked at Roxy. Roxy didn't say anything else and decided to talk to Ineta along tonight.
They arrived back at the square and they decided to go to Roxy's house. They walked in and noticed Amy and Ronnie were just finishing making cookies.
"Did you have a good time?" Ronnie asked and Roxy nodded.
"Did you?" Roxy asked and Ronnie and Amy both nodded. Roxy got out a hot water bottle.
"What's that for?" Ronnie asked.
"Ineta was complaining about sore abdomen" Roxy said and Ronnie nodded.
"Have you talked to her about it" Ronnie asked.
"I don't know how to. I don't know what she knows" Roxy explained.
"Just go and ask her" Ronnie said.
"Can you come and help me" Roxy asked and Ronnie rolled her eye.
"Okay, but you are doing most of the talking" Ronnie said and Roxy nodded.
They walked into the living room where Ineta was sitting.
"Hey sweetie, do you know why you might be getting these tummy aches?" Roxy asked and Ineta shook her head.
"Well, I think it might be something which happens when you grow up. Do you know what periods are?" Roxy asked and Ineta shook her head.
"Well, sometimes you have these things which tell you that your period wouldn't be long. It might be a month or even up to a year or more" Roxy said. Ineta was really confused and didn't understand what Roxy was on about.
"What are you talking about?" Ineta asked.
"Well, you see when you get to a certain age you are able to have children. This means that you have an egg in your ovaries and once a month you will bleed from your vagina for 3 to about a week" Roxy explained. Ineta's face went and she didn't want to talk about it anymore. Roxy noticed this and decided that it was enough.
"But just remember that you can talk to me if anything happens" Roxy said she put her hand on Ineta's shoulder who was faced away from her. She looked at Ronnie for help.
"That's enough" Ronnie said and Roxy nodded.
She got up and they both leave.
"I don't think she knew anything" Roxy said and Ronnie nodded.
"That poor girl she is terrified" Ronnie said and Roxy nodded.
"I think I'll talk to her later" Roxy said and Ronnie nodded.
"Just give her some time to take it all in" Ronnie said and Roxy nodded. Roxy walked back into the living room but didn't say anything. Instead she just sat down next to Ineta and pulled the girl into her chest.
They didn't speak but Ineta liked just having someone holding her. She didn't understand why her mum hadn't told her this before. She was so embarrassed. She wasn't sure if she had completely understood Roxy either as it sounded disgusting.
They stayed cuddled up and Amy came bundling through with some cookies.
"Do you want one?" She asked and Ineta smiled.
"Thank you" She said, Roxy picked one up too.
They cuddled up watching the TV for a while before Aleks came around to take Ineta home. He ended up spending a bit of time with Roxy first and they had tea before he went home as Ineta was tired and starting to fall asleep.
So what do you think? I really need reviews now. I'm begging you to review if you are reading it so that I know if I should carry on writing it :)
