AN: Completely forgot to upload the chapter that Grumbello wrote ages ago, so here it is for those of you who haven't read it from her profile! The next chapter will be up very shortly! Hope you had some patience, and I really am sorry! xx
Sooo...here we are, once again. I could sit here and whine about how hard it is to balance..blah, blah, blah...but we're going to just say HI! How are you? I've missed you all so much! I know we said we'd keep in contact but what with the children and their constant school curriculams and after school sports and things to do we just haven't had time and I thought we agreed to go out for coffee two weeks ago but you didn't turn up...I've also lost your phone number and so we're going to need to exchange that again. So call me next time will you? So I don't look like a complete loner at the coffee shop on the corner again. That was awkward. The guy serving me kept giving me that..'oh you poor lonely woman' stare. Creepy.
Anyway I get distracted :P Enjoy the chapter guys :D

Elphie I have some terrible news,
Ama Clutch has been committed to the local hospital for further tests and studies, they tell me she might not make it. I think I would just...die without my Ama. She's been with me since forever! Oh Elphie what am I going to do? I wish you were here. You'd help me sleep at night wouldn't you?
I'm having so much trouble getting to sleep Elphie. I'm plagued by night-terrors and even when I'm awake I am so nervous and anxious about her health that I just feel so awful and can't enjoy the hol's any more. I must admit though, reading has really helped me get through this ordeal by stealing me away. Oh I read this wonderful book about princesses and unicorns and...Elphie I was the princess. I felt so happy and care free. The only problem was my prince charming...
If Ama is to...oh I can't say it...if she were to be no longer my Ama, I would have to move into the main dorm. That icky 12 girls a room dorm. Oh how horrid. I couldn't live that way Elphie.
Oh Elphie I would LOVE a honeysuckle scented oil. That would be amazing. I would smell so sweet all day and I really do enjoy a nice relaxing wash every night with the oils instead of bath time. Hard to believe but I have found something better then bubble baths. Shocking I know. I just love the sensual feel behind it all. Like...if no one else will love my body...I at least can take good care of it. I love that feeling.
Silly Elphie! I wrote the smiley like ':)' because it made you turn the page upside down and around and around till you got it. Like my smiles, you need to work to get it. And in the end you smiled, that is the best thing that I could do. Makes me happy to know you're happy.
Oh...well...I'm really sorry if I upset you by asking to meet your family. I thought I could share in your life more. Sorry Elphie. My family aren't very big at all. It's just me, Momsie, Popsicle, Daisy, Alfred, Mossy, Bellfray, Holland and Rentsa. Oh and Sugarcube. It's really quite quiet here.
That's wonderful Elphie! So glad to hear you're escaping your world of books and finally seeing what I see. Isn't it beautiful! Life is so...colourful!
I really hope we can organize for you to meet my family at least! I know they are dying to meet you. I just can't seem to stop telling them about you. They think you're amazing for getting me to read...like I was a dummy or something before I met you. Silly parents. Oz Bless them.
You make sure you do take care of yourself my Elphie.
You keep your gorgeous skin out of the sun though. Don't want you to get burnt!
Hope to hear from you soon Elphie
Toodle-oo
