I woke up because something scared me. I don't know what it was but decided I wouldn't be going to sleep anymore. I creeped out of bed. I am not supposed to get up too early. I looked at Daddy's door. It's shut so that means he is sleeping still. I run across to Jazz's room and go in. I crawl into bed with Jazzy. I don't need to wake him up because he smiles when I get in. We play our game. I think of something and he guesses it. Jazzy reckons its cos we is twins. I get his, he is thinking of sleep. He guesses mine, I am thinking of chocolate cookies. We play for a little bit until it gets lighter outside. We play quietly so Daddy doesn't know. I hear him move around down stairs, banging the cupboards in the kitchen. I tell Jazzy it's time to get up through our secret game.
I get out of the bed and go to the toilet. Jazzy bangs on the door cos I'm taking too long. I open the door and start brushing my teeth. Jazzy doesn't care I'm there. He says its cos I am a secret part of him anyways.
We race down the stairs and see Daddy in the room on the settee. He is just sitting there doing nothing. Jazzy starts talking to him.
"Hey Daddy, can we watch Despicable Me again or you gonna vote for Scooby Doo again?" Jazz is right up close to him and Daddy isn't blinking or anything. I look at Jazzy and know that I have to do something because he is younger than me and I am the big sister. I quickly go to the kitchen and get Bee Bees number off the fridge where we put it for emergencies.
Jazz comes in and starts to play with my hair while I pick the phone up. It takes me two goes to put the numbers in right. I hope she answers cos I am really scared. Daddy doesn't do this. Even when Momma left he wasn't like this. Jazzy keeps playing with my hair while we wait. It makes him feel better just as much as it does for me.
"Hello?" Bella asked.
"Bee Bee?" I ask, I am scared and I am not sure why. It's only Bella.
"Hey baby girl, what's up? Everything ok?" she asks me and I know it's to make me feel better. So I start telling her from the beginning.
"Erm, we just come down from sleeping and well, Daddy was just sat on the settee staring into space. Jazz went up to him and was talking but he didn't say anything. He hasn't moved since I come down the stairs. What should I do? I thought of phoning Uncle Eddie but Daddy said yesterday that he hasn't got Ali and Em and would like a sleep in today. I didn't have anyone else to ring. I'm scared Bee Bee, he didn't do this last year, he was fake but never not there." I really wanted to cry but I have to be a big sister for Jazz.
"Ok baby girl, this is what you do. Put the phone up to your Daddy's ear and I will talk to him. Whistle when he has it next to his ear." Bella said. I had to do this and so I did as I was told and put the phone up to his ear. Then I couldn't whistle. I started to panic and Jazz smiled and whistled for me.
I couldn't hear what Bee Bee was saying to Daddy but I could tell she was very cross. Just like the time she caught Jazz walking around with just undies on and Daddy's cowboy boots. Then just like that Daddy's eyes go massive and he sees I am sitting on his knee with the phone to his ear.
"Oh Bella, I am so sorry I don't know what happened. Thank you so much for everything," Daddy said it like he meant it so I smiled at him. He smiled back at me while he spoke to Bee Bee. "I am going to get breakfast sorted and will be in touch. Thanks for sorting me out, I really don't know what had happened. We will talk later. Speak soon." He took the phone from me and turned it off. Daddy gathered us both into his arms and apologized over and over.
"Daddy, you can't do that again! Me and Rosie were scared and I didn't like it. It made me feel strange, promise you won't do it again?" asked Jazzy. He doesn't talk about how he feels much. I smile at him over the top of Daddy's head. Daddy explains how sorry he is and that he won't do it again.
Daddy gets up and starts to sort out breakfast. We get whatever we want. I always want chocolate spread and peanut butter on toast, Jazzy has pancakes with peanut butter and Daddy decides just on coffee. I now see the beer bottles in the recycling. Daddy always just has coffee when he has more than three bottles. I smile over at Jazz and do our game. Jazzy smiles at me and I know he knows what I am thinking.
While Daddy does the breakfast he gets a text which he frowns at. I hope it isn't too bad. He replies but still has a scowl. Then he gets another one which makes him laugh. He writes back with a big smile on his face and I know everything will be ok.
I finish my breakfast and decide I wanna play hairdressers. "Daddy..?" I ask in my sweetest voice.
He turns and smiles at me. "Can I play Hairdressers with your hair? It's getting really long and I bet I could get it in a braid or ponytail. Please Daddy?" I ask in my sweetest voice. He begins to laugh and I know I will be allowed.
"Yeh, I suppose it is getting long and I should either get it cut or tie it back for work. Its ages since I have been to the barbers. Well, Miss Rosalie, do your worst. Hey Jazz, you gonna get your hair done too?" he asks Jazz. Jazz looks at me the look that tells me he is concentrating and then runs for the front door just as the bell rings. Huh Ali and Em must be here. Doesn't mean I am not playing hairdressers though. Just means I can do Eddie's hair too! I tell Daddy what I have decided and run up the stairs to get my stuff.

I picked the kids up from their respective friends' houses and thanked the Mom's for having them. This meant I would be hosting a mass sleep over soon. Hopefully I could talk Frankie into coming over to "play" again. Hmmmm that girl was FIT! She came back to mine last night and left this morning. Nothing major happened as neither of us was ready for that but I knew I wanted to see her again. She left me her number and the instructions to text and call frequently. Apparently, this was the first time she had done the walk of shame but I believed her. She was so funny and such a good friend to Bella. She wouldn't tell me anything about Bella's apparent hots for Carlisle. I would definitely have to remedy that soon.
I decided to swing by Car's and see what was doing. I wonder if Bella drunk called him last night. I chuckled to myself at that thought.
"Daddy, hurry up I haven't seen Jazzy for ages!" came a whine from the back seat. What a shocker, Ali knew where we were going as soon as I had decided. What a little oddball but she is all mine!
I pulled up to the house and Ali raced out of the car up to the door closely followed by Em. Considering how young all the kids are they act like couples, its so bizarre. Sometimes they are older than Me and Car.
I wander in after the kids and take in the sight before me. Rosie is stood on the settee behind Car, brush in hand and pulling his hair into a short ponytail. Em is on the floor playing with Ali and Jazz and their Lego. Ali is whining that Em keeps stealing her pieces, just as I think I will have to stop a war Jazz hands his pieces to Ali. The beaming smile says it all and all of a sudden she kisses his cheek. He looks at me panicked and goes bright pink. I raise an eyebrow. He may only be eight years old and practically my nephew but there is no need to go easy on him. That is my little girl after all. I plonk myself down on the settee next to Carlisle and I am informed by Rosie that I am next. I groan internally but smile outwardly. If I have to endure torture so can Car.
"So Car, get any interesting phone calls lately?" I ask with a smirk. "You totally suit your hair in a ponytail though, good job Rosie!" I smile at her as she beams back at me. Car just scowls. So the answer is yes then!
"Erm, random phone calls and visits were received lately," he says turning to me with a smirk on his face. Now I know that he wants to tell me all about it, well not kiss and tell but he knows I want details. I will have to wait until Rosie deems I am done. At that moment, she decides her Daddy is fantastic and it is my turn. He smirks and goes off into the kitchen. I assume he is cleaning when I hear the water run. Rosie is done with me about ten minutes later, so I head off to find Car.
