"So how is Tula?" Rosie asked leaning down to charlotte's height and peering through the cage at the new set of Genits they had.

"Ah she's great Rosie! And Huge too! Like nearly taller than Danny!"

"wow! Been looking after her well then!" Rosie praised.

"I've tried..." Charlotte said sadly "Mum doesn't like me getting to close...says it's dangerous..."

"Well...shes right to say that, Tula isn't a baby anymore..." Rosie said comforting Charlotte

"I know...but it's not fair! Mum get's to do it! Danny get's to do it! Dupe, Liv and Thabo do...even nomsa! I want to help but i'm not allowed!"

"That's because you're 12!"

"13..."

Rosie rolled her eyes and smiled to herself.

She was as stubborn as her mother. She thought of Alice...and changed the subject.

"Anyway...your mum will be looking after the baby soon! Surely she'll want some help with that instead? And that is better than a baby elephant! You get to teach your little brother or sister all you know!"

Rosie caught charlotte smile before she went back to grumpy as she turned around.

"Yea...i guess..."

Rosie leant down closer to her.

"Yeeeeeea...you mean thats totally better than a baby elephant!" Rosie said tickling charlotte.

Charlotte begun to giggle loudly and scream as she ran away from Rosie and back to the house, Rosie chased after her and as they both rounded the corner, Rosie bumped straight into Max.

"Oh! Max! Sorry!" Rosie said blushing

Charlotte giggled as Rosie scowled at her.

"See ya Max!" Charlotte laughed as she ran off.

Max frowned and took Rosie in his Arms.

"What was all that about?" He asked, his husky South African accent brushing past her ears as she melted into a daydream.

"What? Oh...nothing Charlotte getting old before her time!" Rosie laughed.

"Hmm...come here wife..." Max said pulling her closer and placing a kiss on his lips.

"Oh! Mr Gifthold...what on earth have i done to deserve the pleasure?"

"Being my wife!" He replied smiling widely.

He pushed her up against the hallway wall.

"Max!" Rosie cried "What if someone sees?"

"Isn't that half the fun?"

"Er..."

"How long has it been since we totally did it your old bedroom?"

"Hmm...errrrm 3 years?" Rosie giggled.

Max gave her a look she giggled as he begun to chase her to her old bedroom. He forced his lips on hers and pushed her up against the door, Max twisted the door handle and the pair of them fell through the door and to the floor. Max placed his hands either Side of Rosie's head and leant in to kiss her but she stopped him.

"Er..."

The pair of them glanced towards the voice.

"Liv."

Max stood up quickly and brushed himself off before helping Rosie to her feet.

The 3 of them were gathered in an awkward silence.

Max leant over to Rosie.

"I swear this was your old room."

"It WAS..." she whispered back.

Liv stood up and placed her book on the side.

"Well...that was gross..." she replied walking between the two of them and through the door.

Rosie threw a look to Max who sniggered as the pair of them left the bedroom and shut the door tight. They joined everyone in the front room.
