Robbie had been at home for a while now and she was having some music on , the volume turned up a bit, the times she had the place to herself were rare so when the opportunity came a long she really took advantage of it. Ronnie was going to be home in an hour or so, so she still had som alone-time.
On the kitchencabinet a bottle of coke was standing without the top, some crisps were on the kitchentable, the cupboard where she got the glass out was left open, the tv was on and she was chatting away on the labtop on the sofa with her feet on the table, while talking on her phone to Whitney.
Then totally unexpected she got the scare of her life when she heard Glenda call her name out loud.
- 'Robin Riley Evangeline Mitchell!' Glenda's voice sounded through the whole flat.
- 'What the hell is going on in here, you think this is a youthcenter or what?'Glenda asked her youngest child. Robbie still in shock just starred at Glenda.
- 'Well, are you gonna answer me or what Robin!'Glenda asked Robbie strict.
- 'I'm just enjoying some time alone...that's all'Robbie said in a soft voice, putting her phone down.
- 'And leaving this mess on the table, and the kitchencabinet, having everything on, i mean are you listening to the music, watching tv or calling some friend, an on the computer?'Glenda asked putting the top on the bottle again and putting it back in the fridge. Glenda kept looking at Robbie. She was used to Ronnie being strict, but having 2 mums now with rules and ways, it was a bit to much to handle.
- So have you done anything about your homework then?'Glenda, still in her strict mood, asked again.
- 'Yeah i finished that before'Robbie said taking a zip of her drink.
- 'And your paper little missy, you know, the one that is due on friday?' GLenda asked but already knowing what the answer was gonna be.
- 'Yeah done a bit on that also'Robbie said lying, she had come home earlier and just did what she wanted to do, homework was last priority on her list.
- 'I want you to turn the music and tv off, and start on that paper now, you go sit here at the kitchentable!'Glenda said grabbing her lipstick out of her purse and putting it on her lips while Robbie turned everything off.
- 'Now what?'Robbie asked getting tired of Glenda telling her what to do and nagging about everything.
- 'Excuse me?'Glenda asked crossing her arms on her chest and looking at Robbie waiting for an answer.
Robbie sighed and grabbed the labtop and put it on the kitchentable.
- 'Now you go and sit here and i want you working on that paper, is that clear!'Glenda said 'i'll be in the bedroom getting changed'.
- 'Where are you off to then?'Robbie asked sounding interested to get Glenda to calm down a bit, Ronnie had already told her about their mum going for dinner or something with Carol.
- 'I'm gonna have dinner with Carol'Glenda said getting her purse from the table.
- 'Oh thats'nice and where are you going then, are you gonna eat at Whits?'Robbie asked again keeping a converstion going.
- 'No darling, it's to loud there with all them kids, were going to Fargo's i think'Glenda said'Now you gonna do your homework and i'm really have to get changed i don't wanna be too late at Carols'. Glenda walked over out of the bedroom.
Robbie starred at her walking out of the livingroom and just before she got to the bedroom Robbie said: 'Mum?'
Glenda walked back, "mum" seemed to be the maigc word to get Glenda smiling cause when she came back to the livingroom again Robbie could see she was glowing, she knew it cause she had seen it so many times with Ronnie, it didn't work everytime anymore with Ronnie but trying was always worthed.
- 'What darling?'She asked her youngest daughter, having her call her mum was music to her ears.
- 'I just wanted to say that i'm sorry mum, i mean for coming home to this mess'Robbie said standing up thinking this was what she wanted to hear.
- 'Alright darling, i understand you wanting the place to yourself once in a while but you don't have to exaggerate it'Glenda said giving her daughter a hug. Then she got back to the bedroom again to now really get changed.
About an hour later Ronnie came home, Robbie had done her homework while Glenda had been at home, just as she left she got of the table and turned the telly on, she left her schoolwork on the table though, if Ronnie would come home she would see she made an effort on doing what they wanted her to do.
- 'Hi my little love, you're alright'Ronnie said as she gave Robbie a hug coming in.
- 'Hi mum, i'm starving you know'Robbie said hugging Ronnie back.
- 'Finished your homework then babe'Ronnie said walking up to the kitchen looking at all the schoolbooks on the table.
- 'Yeah'Robbie said then watching tv again.
- 'Are you tired babe?'Ronnie asked again getting some plates out of the cupboard.
- 'Why?'Robbie asked walking up to her mum wanting to get some dirnk.
- 'Oh i can tell' Ronnie said grabbing Robbie around her waist and giving her the biggest hug.
- 'Mum am i still grounded tomorrow?'Robbie asked surrounded by Ronnie's arms and putting her chin on her mums chest looking up to her.
- 'We'll see, we're gonna eat first and then i was thinking a movie we could watch maybe, Jack we'll be over later bringing Amy home'Ronnie said as they walked back to the sofa with their plates.
- 'Is he gonna stay tonight?'Robbie asked sitting down next to Ronnie on the sofa.
- 'No, he's just bringing her over, he's going to play poker with some friends at his place'Ronnie said.
- 'I can't wait untill we live at the square, having Jack closer so i can watch him play'Robbie said.
- 'Ehm excuse me but what gave you the impression that when we move over you are allowed to go and watch them play poker?'Ronnie asked with a smile on her face.
- 'Come on Ron in time he also will move in with us right, then i can watch'Robbie said convinced that things were gonna go how she interpreted it.
- 'We 'll see how it goes yeah, not to worry your little head about'Ronnie said grabbing the remote and clicking to the moviechannel 'You pick one baby'.
Robbie picked out a movie and while they were eating they watched the movie.
Done with eating Robbie rolled up and curled up against Ronnie.
- 'So was mum home before?'Ronnie asked stroking her hand through Robbie's hair.
- 'Yeah she was here to change in to something else and then she went off to Carols'Robbie said.
- 'Anything happen?' Ronnie said looking down at Robbie who looked at her, looking up to Ronnie.
- 'She ehm..she was a little shocked when she got home, i mean i had music and telly on at the same time..guess she's not used to that then ey'Robbie said just being a little honest about it, this way she wasn't really lying, cause Ronnie would see that in her.
- 'Well she left us a long time ago, and you know that dad wasn't to keen on loud music so, she alright though babe, you know she missed out on a lot, esspecially about you, i mean you were a baby
…she missed everything on that, that's pretty painfull since you were such a cute baby'Ronnie said pincing Robbie's cheeks which she like to do a lot since Robbie hated it.
- 'Stop..mum!'Robbie said pushing Ronnie's hands away 'Excuse me ..were cute?'.
- 'You still are babe, a bit cheeky at times, becoming more naughty as you were growing up, but we could see that, me and Rox when you were still a toddler winding us around your little finger, dressing you up in little dresses that you weren't that fond of at the time so you were always taking them off, you loved to walk around in not much, just your nappie and a romper or just a nappie and your little shirt. You would always laugh out so loud if Roxy would try to come and get ya and you would run away and then when she got you she would throw you up in the air, you loved that, how wilder it got the better you liked it, then at night after we gave you a bath and changed you we put you in your little bed and sit by you telling you stories and you fell asleep sucking your thumb when not using your dummy. And when you cried at night having a bad dream or wetting your nappie or something i would change you and get you a bottle and give it to you in the comfortable chair in your room and then you would always look up at me with those blue eyes the whole time while drinking, i loved those moments just you and me all quiet in the house just hearing you suck that bottle was the only sound and then i would take you with me and put you in my bed, you put your little arms around my neck, and when you got older and had a big girls bed you always came out of it during the night and crawled in with me. Oh and when we were out we wanted to put you in your buggy you just sat in there for like a half hour or something then you wanted out to walk and then when we got you out you didn't wanna walk anymore and not back in your buggy so i had to carry you around everywhere all the time, i still have to do that sometimes', Ronnie smiled.
- 'Yeah right, you only carry me to bed when i've fallen asleep thats it'Robbie said pinching Ronnie's nose.
- 'You're still a baby, always will be my baby, baby'Ronnie said giving Robbie a kiss on her head.
Then the buzzer went and Robbie got up and walked to the hallway to get the door, it was Jack with Amy.
- 'Hi darling, is your mum home already?'Jack asked coming up.
- 'Hi Jack hey Ames, how are ya, have you had a good day with dad'Robbie said saying it as if they were sisters pretending Jack was her dad too.
- 'She had a great time, didn't you sweetheart'Jack said walking behind Robbie into the livingroom.
- 'Hiya babes'Ronnie said giving Amy a kiss then Jack'Has she had dinner yet?'.
- 'Yeah she has and i just changed her ,she's ready for bed, she's pretty tired'Jack said'We've been busy all day, haven't we darling'.
- 'Alright i'll put her to bed then'Ronnie said taking Amy over from Jack then taking her over to the bedroom to put her down.
- 'Oh you and your mum watching a movie then darling?'Jakc said seeing the tv screen paused.
- 'Yeah but it's a bit boring so we actually were talking'Robbie said handing Jack a beer 'You drink one with us ey Jack, heard you're having a pokernight later on'.
- 'Yeah alright cheers darling'Jack said, he knew Robbie liked him very much that wasn't the problem, he could see the three of them living together as a proper little family, but him and Ronnie, that was a different story they had been off and on together, hurting eachother and loving eachother, Ronnie wanted to take it slow now because of Robbie, she also knew he woudl be a great dad for her but them fighting and then an off and on relationship would do know good for Robbie, so for now they were together but living apart for Robbie's sake, for now.
Ronnie came back into the livingroom and sat down on the sofa.
- 'so what time is everyone coming?'Ronnie asked putting her arm around his back.
- 'At 9'Jack said'So i gotta get home after this one cause i need to tidy the place a bit'.
- 'Yeah alright we'll finish the movie then right baby'Ronnie said winking at Robbie.
- 'Yeah 'Robbie said.
Right after Jack left Roxy came home, she and Christian had gone over to the R&R but it was so dead that they decided to go home and plan another night some other time. The movie wasn't really a hit so they turned it off before it ended.
- 'So Amy was alright?'Roxy asked sitting down.
- 'Yeah she was tired so i put her to bed when she got home'Ronnie said pouring some drinks for herself and Roxy.
Round 10 their mum Glenda arrived home. Putting her purse on the kitchentable and sitting down in between Roxy and Robbie.
- 'So how was your dinner mum?'Ronnie asked while taking a zip of her dirnk.
- 'Yeah Carol and me, well we have a good time together'Glenda said.
- 'Well that's good isn't it'Robbie said'It's good you'll have a friend round the square'.
- 'Yes'Glenda said'So you're all done with your responsibilities then?'
- 'Yeah, yeah í ehm did that and then watch a movie with mum'Robbie said looking at Ronnie.
- 'I thinks you should go and get ready for bed now babe'Ronnie said'Tomorrows another day of school'.
- 'Yeah don't remind me' Robbie said standing up and walking over to Ronnie, she then sat on her lab and put her arms around her mums neck and gave her a kiss then put her head on her shoulders 'I had a good time tonight.'
- 'Yeah we had some quality time didn't we'Ronnie said rubbing Robbie's back.
- 'Oh what did you do then, you watched a flaming boring movie'Roxy said.
- 'We had food, a boring movie but we talked, talked about how she was as a baby'.
- 'Yeah like she said quality'Robbie said rolling her eyes to Roxy who started laughing.
- 'Common to bed you!'Ronnie said giving Robbie a kiss'Sleep well my little love'.
Robbie gave Ronnie a kiss back and then walked over to Glenda giving her a kiss and then Roxy. Then she left the livingroom to get ready for bed.
