Franky looks at Bridget 'Are you expecting someone?'

Bridget looks at franky 'No I wasn't' Bridget heads for the door. She opens the door

Alexis shouts 'Auntie Bridget, Auntie Bridget we have something to tell you' Alexis jumps into Bridget's arms and Bridget's sister Louise walks up Bridget turns to see Franky.

'Franky this is Alexis' pointing to the girl in her arms then turns to Louise 'and this is my sister Louise'

Franky says 'Hello nice to meet you both' Bridget walks up to Franky whispering to her 'Don't be scared' she carries Alexis into the sitting room. The food still laid out from earlier on 'Auntie Bridget can I have a sandwich'

'Of course help yourself I'm going to go talk to mummy for a minute. Do you want to show Franky your toys she might do a jigsaw with you' Alexis's eyes light up she loves jigsaws. Bridget goes to talk to Louise in the kitchen, Alexis gets the jigsaw puzzles out of a large chest in the living room.

'Will you help me do a jigsaw puzzle?' Alexis says using the puppy dog eyes that work on Bridget. Franky laughs 'Yes of course I will'

Louise tells Bridget she's pregnant again and Bridget is so happy. Louise asks if Bridget can take Alexis for the night. She knows its Franky and Bridget's first night together and Bridget knows she wouldn't ask on this night unless it was important. Bridget agrees. Louise thanks her and tells her she owes her one. Louise leaves and Bridget stands at the living room door. Franky and Alexis are on the floor, Franky is helping Alexis place the pieces in the puzzle. Bridget smiles walking in, she sits next to Franky 'Your doing great,' she mouths to Franky

Alexis turns around 'Where mummy?'

Bridget looks at her 'Mummy's gone your staying here tonight. She's got something to do she will be back for you tomorrow, ok?'

Alexis looks at bridget 'Ok'

Franky looks at Bridget and whispers 'We can't do anything tonight then ehh?'

Bridget bites her lip and whisper 'Maybe we can if we are quiet'

Franky looks at her 'I can be quiet doubt you can though. Your a screamer'

Franky turns around Alexis says 'Finished'

'Auntie Bridget do I call her Auntie Franky'

Franky felt a tug on her heart this little girl was already warming to her. Bridget saw this, rubbing Franky arm 'what do you think?' Bridget muttered to Franky 'Franky nods saying its ok if Alexis wants to say Auntie Franky'

'Alexis, you can call her Auntie Franky if you want, you dont have to though and Franky will understand if you dont. I am actually your Auntie'

'I want to, I like her' Alexis says smiling and puts the Jigsaw away she was doing.
