Okay so I was reading this through and I honestly thought it couldn't get any fluffier….but it just did haha! Enjoy this fluffy chapter. Oh and this starts when Grace comes to stay over.

Chapter 21 – Let's go crazy.

"Are you ready!?" Connie shouted up the stairs at Rita.

"Two secs love." Rita called down.

Connie huffed honestly she made sure they had plenty of time to get ready before picking Grace up from the airport, Rita was definitely testing her patience.

"Were going to be late." Connie muttered grabbing her keys.

"No were not." Rita singsonged creeping up behind Connie,

Connie kissed Rita then pushed her towards the front door, she tsked as she looked at the time they were already 5 minutes behind her schedule and all Rita did was roll her eyes and laugh. When they were in the car and ready to go Rita asked Connie a question.

"Are you sure you want me to come? Don't you want to spend time with Grace alone for a bit, like give her chance to get used to this instead of throwing it on her?"

"I would really appreciate it if you were with me Rita but if you don't want to be say now."

"Conniee." Rita whined.

"That's not what I meant and you know it, of course I want to come with you I just didn't know if it would be too much for Grace."

"Rita she will be fine."

That was the last they spoke on that matter, Connie hadn't told Rita but she really wanted to come with her because she was scared. It wasn't that she wasn't excited to see her daughter but she knew what a mess she had made being her Mother and she needed Rita for support if something went wrong.

"Mind if I put some music on?" Rita asked so she didn't have to sit in silence, Connie said go ahead.

Rita flicked through the stations until she heard her newest favourite song,

"Oh I love this song." Rita squealed and started singing adding

a shimmy in parts.

"Cause uptown funk gonna give it to you! Saturday night we're in the spot, don't believe me just watch!"

Connie found it highly amusing and she couldn't help but laugh and when Rita had quietened down some Connie jumped in,

"I'm too hot, hot damn called a police and a fireman."

Rita burst out laughing and the song finished,

"Woo who knew Mrs Beauchamp was funky!" Rita said and giggled.

"I do believe you are a bad influence on me Miss Freeman." Connie teased.

"And you love it." Rita answered back with a wink.

"I love you."

"You are sooo sappy Connie Beauchamp."

"And you love it." Connie said mimicking Rita.

The rest of the car journey was spent with Rita holding Connie's hand, they arrived at the airport and Connie's heart began beating faster a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Connie stayed in the car after switching the ignition off and took a deep breath, Rita looked at her.

"Connie you will be absolutely fine, I bet she's so excited to see you again."

"Your right, come on then."

Connie got out of the car and straightened her jacket; she waited for Rita to come round from the other side of the car. Rita took Connie's hand into her own and gave it a tight squeeze and they walked into the airport. They checked what time the flight was coming in and they were right on time they could see a crowd of people going to collect their luggage and Connie tried spotting Grace.

"Mummy!" Grace shouted rushing over to her Connie.

Connie let go of Rita's hand and went to her daughter, she opened her arms and picked her up in a tight hug. After letting go she bent down to Grace's level and kissed her on the forehead,

"I've missed you so much baby."

"I've missed you too Mum."

Rita stood in the background watching them both, it was one of the most moving moments Rita had ever witnessed, she knew Connie loved her daughter but this showed how much it was truly beautiful. Connie started fussing over Grace who was trying to escape her Mom' grasp, Rita started laughing.

Grace looked over at Rita then at her Mum, she arched her eyebrow perfectly it was just how Connie did it and Rita smirked.

"Who's that?" Grace asked.

Connie walked over to Rita and stood by her,

"This is Rita."

"Nice to meet you Grace." Rita said offering her hand to Grace.

Grace looked Rita up and down and snubbed her,

"Grace don't be so rude!" Connie said sternly.

"It's alright babe, she needs to get to me first." Rita whispered to Connie.

Connie picked up Grace's suitcase and holding Grace's hand the three of them walked to Connie's car, Grace ran round to the front passenger seat.

"Shotgun!" Grace shouted.

Rita pouted her lip and Connie smirked she walked behind Rita trailing her fingers across her back,

"She did call shotgun." Connie said getting into the car.

Rita stood watching the Connie and Grace sat in the car, oh how she knew she was going to have her hands full with these two but she was going to love it. Rita got in the back of the car and looked at the interior mirror Connie was staring with a twinkle in her eye, Rita grinned back at her.

Connie was trying to concentrate on driving but was constantly being pestered by Grace and Rita although she found it cute it was getting on her nerves.

"Mum Mum Mum can I put a CD on please, I've got my 1D album in my backpack."

Connie pursed her lips if there was one thing she hated, Grace's choice in music was one of them.

"Yeaah Connie let Grace put her CD on."

Rita saw Connie purse her lips after hearing the CD was One Direction and she wanted to get Connie back for the shotgun incident it was obviously a good thing because Grace looked back at her with a smile. Rita was happy she scored points with Grace. Connie shot Rita at look which Rita translated as we will discuss this later on and Rita smiled sweetly.

"LET'S GO CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY TILL WE SEE THE SUN…." Grace and Rita sang together at possibly the loudest volume Connie had ever heard.

"Kill me now!" Connie muttered under her breath.

When they arrived back home Connie was the last one out of the car, she leaned back into the chair and closed her eyes. Rita and Grace were waiting by the front door playing some silly game and Connie was making the most of the peace and quiet around her, she opened her eyes and saw Rita looking back at her. Connie sighed she got out of the car, picked up the suitcase and opened the front door, Grace ran in and dropped her backpack on the floor along with her shoes.

"Bag and shoes away please Grace!" Connie called out.

Grace stomped back and picked up her bag and shoes and put them neatly to the side, Connie said thank you and Grace toddled back into the living room.

"Urgh I've got a massive headache." Connie moaned looking for some paracetamol.

"What you didn't like our singing?"

Connie death stared Rita then shook her head; Rita laughed putting her arms around Connie.

"I love you so much and Grace is lovely, she's a little mini you what's not to like."

"Hm you probably won't be saying that in a week."

"Yeah but I can just go home." Rita teased.

"About that Rita…I was wondering if you wanted to maybe ah move in with me."

"Are you serious?" Rita asked.

"Dead serious, I've thought this over and over."

"Yes I will."

"Really?"

"Yes really!"

Connie smiled well she grinned! She kissed Rita once and then twice.

"Urm Mum what's going on?" Grace said standing at the doorway.
