Two chapters in one day? :O What's going on? Let's just say I'm slightly hungover (again) and this has kept me distracted ;)

Hope you enjoy!

While they were waiting, Whitney felt a hand on her arm and turned around quickly to see who was trying to attract her attention. Katy glanced up too, to see what was happening. Tyler was looking at her friend. He didn't seem to have noticed the pregnant teenager beside her.

"Look, I'm sorry," he started, "I don't want to be rude and I don't normally do this, but… can I get your name?"

Instantly Whitney's mood darkened. Since the whole Rob situation she hadn't so much as looked at another guy. It had taken this long for her confidence to come back and Katy knew instantly that this conversation wasn't going to end well. But a small spiteful part of her refused to let her say anything. She was hurt that Tyler seemed to be hitting on her best friend. And in front of her as well.

Whitney rolled her eyes and turned back to Katy, turning her back on Tyler. Seeing the look in her friend's eyes, the younger girl realised that Katy was slightly indignant about the situation.

"Just your name, that's all." Tyler pressed. "So I can spell it out in my sleep." Whitney laughed sarcastically at his terrible chat up line. Katy was doing her best to stay invisible. "And she smiles! It's my lucky day!"

"Don't push it mate." Whitney told him.

"If you ain't gonna give me a name, at least give me a number. Come on, what you playing the shy girl for? I bet you give it out to worse."

Instantly Katy felt her blood boil at his words and knew that Whitney would be feeling the same. She turned in time to see Whitney's fist flying towards Tyler's face. It connected with his mouth, sending him flying backwards and landing sprawled on the tiled floor.

"Who d'you think I am, eh?" Whitney demanded loudly.

"Maybe later then?" Tyler asked, sitting up with one hand on his lip, which was bleeding. Whitney grabbed her tea and headed outside, leaving Katy staring at him. With Whitney gone, Tyler seemed to notice Katy at last and his face fell, realising that she'd have seen the whole thing.

She picked up her own tea and turned to leave, but not before she spat, "Bother her again and she won't be the only one decking you. Got it?"

Then she followed Whitney outside quickly. The teenager was at the stall with Lauren, clearly starting to fill their best friend in on what had just happened. Katy waited until Whitney had finished talking, sipping on her tea while she listened, before asking if she was alright.

"Yeah… I could do without prats like him trying to hit on me though. Eurgh! I am so off men. They're just a massive waste of space. They either mess you around or the get you pregnant and bugger off or they're just totally useless."

"Sometimes they're all three…" Lauren added.

"And sometimes they're even worse." Katy chipped in.

The other two looked slightly confused for a moment. Then Lauren voiced their question. "How can they be worse?"

"They can be… nice." The Mitchell said, pulling a face. Her best friends laughed and soon their conversation had turned onto more cheerful things, planning their imaginary holiday for example, and Whitney's run-in with Tyler Moon was almost forgotten.

A little while later Katy's phone buzzed and she read the text message quickly.

"Oh… Apparently I'm going out for lunch with the sisters before my pre-natal appointment later, so I'd better shoot. I'll catch you later, OK?"

"Let us know how it goes, yeah?" Lauren ordered, while Whitney nodded in agreement. "The welfare of our goddaughter is very important, you know."

Whitney laughed. "I'll go and grab some sandwiches for me and you then, Lor?"

Lauren nodded and waved as her friends set off in opposite directions; Whitney to the café and Katy towards the flat.

"You never told me he was coming." Katy hissed, glancing towards Michael who was standing a little way off talking to the waiter.

"Because I knew you'd try and get out of it if you knew." Ronnie told her with a shrug. "He just wants to apologise for last night… sleepwalking and everything. Jack's finishing some business at the boxing club and Rox should be on her way. Just play nice, alright?"

Katy made a noncommittal sound in her through as Michael approached and the waiter led them to a table set for five. As the teenager read the menu, she kept sending Michael angry glances. He merely smirked back, infuriating her even more.

"You drinking?" Michael asked, looking at Ronnie. "I'm guessing, or rather hoping, that you're not, Katy."

"Oh… no… no, better not." Ronnie said, thinking about the fact that she was going to drive her sister to the hospital later that afternoon.

Apparently choosing to ignore her, Michael ordered a bottle of red wine anyway. Ronnie shot her sister a glance that indicated that she wasn't completely comfortable. It was an expression that Katy returned whole heartedly.

"So, look… I mean, for the next hour let's just relax and just be you. You know, well… the old you." Michael said, looking directly at Ronnie. Katy was confused. The old Ronnie?

"What are you talking about?" She demanded, arching her eyebrows. "The old Ronnie? There is no old Ronnie. She hasn't changed."

"I just meant… with all the stress of everything that's happened… James and you getting pregnant and all. Maybe Ronnie could do with just chilling out for a bit. I didn't meant to offend her. Or you." He said smarmily. Katy's older sister furrowed her eyebrows at her, frowning slightly, before smiling at Michael.

"Yeah… that would be nice. An hour just relaxing and forgetting about everything else." She said sighing. Then she added in a low voice to her sister, "Behave."

Katy pouted but didn't say anything else. The conversation continued for a little while, mainly between Ronnie and Michael, with the teenager chipping in every now and again. Occasionally Michael would bring up a topic that Katy thought was too personal, or too much like him trying to stir up trouble and she would make her feelings very clear, bringing that particular conversation to an abrupt end.

"I should ring Roxy, shouldn't I?" Michael said at last. Katy opened her mouth to agree, but Ronnie cut in before her.

"Oh, no, you'd better not." She said with a sigh. The teenager looked at her as though she'd gone mad.

"Yeah?" Michael asked with a strange look on his face.

"Well she's obviously got tied up and she'll get here when she can, won't she?" Ronnie reasoned.

"She's probably forgotten. You know what she's like." Katy argued. "I'll ring if you like."

Ronnie shook her head again, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "No, leave it, she'll be here soon."

"Fair enough." Michael said, not seeming the slightest bit disappointed that his girlfriend wasn't here. "So where were we? Umm… yeah, Ibiza! So all the blokes putting it on you?"

Ronnie laughed and Katy looked disgusted. What kind of question was that to ask your girlfriend's sister?

"Well, I may have had a few offers." Ronnie said candidly. Despite her annoyance with everything and everyone at that moment in time, Katy was eagerly listening to the conversation. Ronnie rarely talked about their time in Ibiza, especially to her.

"Anyone special?"

"No, no. I was always… I was always looking out for Roxy."

"Bet she can get into trouble!"

"Yeah, she really can." The blonde said fondly, nodding. "That girl really knows how to get into trouble!"

"She's wild."

"She is!"

"Bet you were there to sort her out."

Ronnie nodded. "I was. Every time without fail."

"Eurgh…" Katy muttered under her breath. Ronnie shot her a look, but Katy just rolled her eyes. "What, you're making me feel sick with your little love-in."

"You were just been a kid, right?" Michael said, his chummy tone not fooling Katy in the slightest. "That must have been brilliant, growing up in Ibiza with your sisters?"

He knew full well that Katy hadn't been there and he knew that she knew he knew. Ronnie, on the other hand, seemed to think that he was genuinely confused.

"No, Katy wasn't in Ibiza with us." She explained. "We met her just over a year ago after her mum died."

"Oh… well… at least you and Roxy have that connection." He said pointedly. The teenager narrowed her eyes.

"Whatever." She muttered trying to ignore what Michael was doing. He was clearly trying to make a big deal out of the fact that her older sisters shared so much history that she wasn't a part of. "D'you wanna just shut up, yeah?"

"Behave!" Ronnie hissed at her again. "Sorry… it must be hormones or something."

"Yeah…" Michael said snidely. "Or something…"

Katy was prevented from replying by Roxy's arrival. She looked slightly put out that they had clearly been there a while.

"Sorry, did I get the wrong time?" She asked as she sat in the seat beside Michael, opposite Katy.

"No." Her older sister assured her with a smile. Katy just rolled her eyes and leant back in her chair with her arms crossed over her chest. She'd had enough already.
