Ellie was pacing the front room while Sara, Catherine and Lindsay were sat on the sofa.
"Right, well... If it's okay with you guys, I'd like to stay with you. Like, forever. But Cath, if you're not totally certain on this, or have any doubts I can stay here with mom and-"
"Ellie honey, you know I'd love to have you staying with us." The young girl grinned,
"Seriously?" Catherine nodded, "Oh my God, that's awesome!" She said, diving on a surprised Catherine who quickly enveloped her in a mother's hug. "Thanks for everything, Cath." The raven haired girl whispered, bringing tears to the blonde's eyes.
"Anyone up for Pizza?" Sara said, bringing in the pizza that had just arrived.
"Send some pepperoni my way!" Lindsay said while Ellie passed her a plate,
"Cath, what do you want?"
"Um... Pepperoni."
"Elle?"
"What do you have?"
"My veggie one."
"I'll have both." Ellie grinned,
"Will you now?" Sara teased, passing the young girl two slices of pizza. "What do you want to drink?"
"Pepsi." Lindsay said around a mouthful of pizza,
"Yeah, same here."
"Alright, Cath?"
"Beer please, babe."
"Coming up."
"No wait! I want a beer!" Sara laughed and walked into the kitchen to get the drinks, she came back carrying two bottles, "I wasn't joking Sara!" Ellie said,
"Ah but, if you're going to permanently live with us, you go by our rules," Catherine said,
"I wasn't aware of this!" Ellie laughed, "I guess no more alcoholic beverages for me, then." Lindsay, who had remained pretty much silent the whole time, spoke up,
"Are you gonna go school with me, Elle?"
"I suppose so, yeah. Why?"
"'Cause I didn't wanna spend all my time at school without you."
"Aw! That's so sweet, Chick."
"Chick?" Sara asked,
"Shut up, I'm being nice!"
"Didn't expect anything less," Sara teased the clearly embarrassed girl,
"Saraaaaaaaaa!" She whined, "Leave me alone!"
"Sorry Chick."
"Oh dear God," Ellie put her head in her hands, "You're never gonna let me live this down, are you?" Sara shook her head and grinned,
"Never."
