Ronnie and Robbie got home after an afternoon at the club, Jack had gone to pick up Amy from nursery and then he was gonna take her to the park for a little the girls walked into the house they heard the telly was on, and when they went to see if it was Roxy feeling a bit better, they saw Glenda on the sofa reading a magazine.
- 'Mum?' Ronnie said 'I thought you was Roxy, aren't you a bit home early?'
- 'Well Carol actually send me home round 4 so i could keep Rox company but in return i will cover her tomorrow, heard about the lovely dinner over at Max and Vanessa's'.
- 'Yeah, ehm Max invited us, i thought he was gonna invite you too'Ronnie said looking at Robbie who was starting up the computer.
- 'Yeah Carol did, i'm working her shift later in the day tomorrow so she can help Vanessa with preparing then after work i'll come straight over'Glenda said.
- 'Hope Rox will be alright to also join us if she wants'Ronnie said 'Babe only homework ey, no chatting!'Ronnie kept her eye on Robbie while talking to her mother. Robbie made some faces at Ronnie, while she and her mother were talking, Ronnie just looked at Robbie serious, telling her that way to cut it out.
- 'So where have you two been?'Glenda asked also looking at Robbie if she would answer.
- 'The club, Jack let me spin the turntables mum, i was fabulous, wasn't i mum?' Robbie said still full of adrenaline because of what she just had done.
- 'Yes babe, in a couple of years mum, follow this one, she's a natural'Ronnie said winking at her mum.
- 'At the club, what about school, and what were you doing there then?'Glenda asked.
- 'Well Robbie came home early from school, some cancelled classes and i was here with Rox and then i took her to the club to do some homework there, …and i just remembered i was gonna take some laundry over to the launderette, i will do that right now as a matter of fact'Ronnie said walking out of the room and going upstairs.
A couple minutes later Ronnie went over to the launderette and Glenda and Robbie were still in the livingroom, Glenda reading her magazine again and Robbie behind the computer.
- 'I'm gonna go upstairs yeah'Robbie said getting of the diningroomtable.
- 'Alright but keep it quiet up there cause your sister is still asleep'Glenda said serious looking from behind her magazine.
Robbie nodded and went upstairs, she heard Roxy was already awake and talking on the phone while she walked up to her bedroom.
She walked in and went straight to her ipod's dockingstation, plugged her ipod in and turned it on and put the volume up. Some dancemusic started and Robbie started dancing to it.
After a couple of minutes she was shocked when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she jumped up and turned around, seeing Glenda there folding her arms on her chest and looking serious at her.
- 'God you scared the hell out of me, i almost wet my pants mum!'Robbie said turning the music down.
- 'Didn't i just tell you to keep it down!'Glenda was asking a bit cross.
- 'She's awake alright'Robbie said then turning the music on again. Glenda walked over to the dockingstation and just pulled the electricitycable out of the plugbox.
- 'Are you mad?'Robbie said giving Glenda a little push away from her most precious possesion, Robbie was looking
impetuous.
- 'Excuse me!'Glenda said a little furious almost falling into Robins dressingcloset, she grabbed Robbie by her arm and gave her a smack on her backside 'Don't you ever push me away or talk with that tone of voice to me young lady, do you hear me!'.
- 'What's going on in here?'Roxy said loud as she had heard a bit of what had been going on 'Mum?'
- 'Your sister pushed me making me almost fall into the closet and then called me mad, and i won't have it, not from anyone!'Glenda said strict at Roxy.
- 'Well don't bite my head off mum, eh Robbie?'Roxy asked Robbie what was going on.
- 'She said that i should keep it down while you were sleeping but i heard you on the phone so i turned it up and then she comes in here like a mad cow and…'Robbie wanted to say.
Glenda grabbed Robbie again by the arm wanting to give her yet another slap but Roxy beat her to it, Roxy gave Robbie another smack.
- 'You know what Robbie, you just go and sit here thinking about that attitude of yours, cause i don't want to hear it anymore, you can stay in here and wait for Ron to sort you out!'Roxy said walking up to the dockinstation taking the ipod out and taking it with her 'common mum we're going downstairs!'.
- 'Roxy give my ipod back!'Robbie screamed.
Glenda just looked at Robbie, who was furious now at Roxy. They walked out of the bedroom and closed the door. Robbie sat down on her bed and threw a pair of books to the door.
Just as Roxy and Glenda got downstairs, Ronnie, Jack and Amy walked in through the frontdoor.
- 'You can go straight upstairs sis and sort that little piece of terror out, she pushed mum and called her a mad cow, she's way out of line upthere?"Roxy said walking up to Amy'If you ever act like your auntie baby you're gonna get it'she said while Amy just gave her happy screeching sounds.
- 'Could you order food mum or Jack i'm not in the mood to cook'Ronnie said sighing walking straight up the stairs.
Without knocking, Ronnie walked into Robbie's bedroom, she walked up to Robbie, who was laying on the bed, she grabbed her tightly and lifted her from the bed making her stand in front of her and said calmly but strict 'Now you tell me, why i don't have any reason to smack that tiny bottom of yours?'
- 'I did nothing wrong mum, Roxy was already awake and then i put music on, she has to lay off of my stuff'Robbie said still being held by Ronnie's hands on her upperarms.
- 'And you never pushed her or called her a mad cow then, hmm, that never happened, mum and Roxy are lying to me then, is that it?"Ronnie said sharp looking straight into Robbie's eyes.
Robbie wanted to say that they were lying, but her eyes spoke. Ronnie let go of one arm and Robbie received another smack on her bottom 'Is this how i brought you up Robin, calling your mum a "mad cow" pushing her, i don't think so, you are way out of order, did you ever call me a mad cow?'
Robbie didn't say anything yet, her mums lecture was not to be interupted.
- 'Ofcourse not, you know better then that right Robin' Ronnie said finally letting go of Robbie's arms. Robbie wasn't sure if she should sit down or just kept standing up untill her mum was finished. Ronnie then sat down on the bed, calming herself a bit down. Robbie still kept quiet, she was afraid that anything that would come out of her mouth wouldn't be the right words to come in the clean with her mum.
Ronnie looked up at Robbie and said: 'Sit down' she tapped on the bed next to her.
Robbie sat down and looked at Ronnie then looked at her window.
- 'Did you ever call me a mad cow?' Ronnie asked calm looking at Robbie who from looking at the window looked back at her mum.
- 'Ehm, well'Robbie started'not while you were there' Robbie looked at Ronnie and was afraid she would go all hysterical again.
Ronnie grinned a bit and shook her head.
- 'What?'Robbie asked not understanding why her mum would laugh about this.
- 'I'm just glad you're honest with me'Ronnie said.
- 'Mum , i didn't mean to push her or call her that honestly, but she touched my dockingstation, the one you gave to me, and i'm really carefull with it and she just pulled the plug on it, i didn't want her to ruin it'Robbie said.
- 'I know you want to be carefull with that, but what about all these clothes lying here everywhere, i bought you them also, you're room is a mess'Ronnie sighed 'You are gonna go downstairs and apoligise to mum alright, and a sincere apoligy, not one like you and Roxy are always doing,crossing your fingers behind your backs'.
- 'Now?'Robbie asked not really wanted to go downstairs and face Glenda.
- 'Yes now, and after that i want you to clean this room up, and i mean folding your clothes neatly yeah and not just throwing them in the closet alright'Ronnie said 'oh and another thing'.
- 'What?'Robbie asked looking around at the mess in her room.
- 'You better behave tonight and tomorrow or i'll call this whole dinner off'Ronnie said warning Robbie with her finger 'and i really mean it, what just happened is already a reason to call it off', you were already on thin ice, i haven't forgotten about last weekend madam, now do you understand? '
- 'Ok, ehm i'm gonna clean this up alright mum'Robbie said.
- 'Robbie don't be playing smart with me!'Ronnie said looking strict at Robbie'Downstairs first, now!'
They both walked downstairs into the livingroom, Jack was sitting behind the computer and Roxy and Glenda were sitting on the sofa watching telly.
Ronnie and Robbie walked in and Robbie stood by were Glenda was sitting.
- 'Can i ehm ..have a word with you?'Robbie asked Glenda feeling very uncomfortable knowing Roxy was looking straight through her and still being angry with her babysister.
- 'You can say whatever you want to say right here Robin'Glenda said still looking a bit angry at Robbie.
- 'I'm ehm…'Robbie said.
- 'Not much of a smartmouth now ey Robbie'Roxy said giving Robbie an irritated look.
- 'Roxy!'Ronnie said not wanting Robbie to walk off again or get in more trouble by jumping on Roxy and fighting with her, she'd been there before.
- 'I'm sorry for what i said to you before and for pushing you mum, i didn't mean to'Robbie said'It was stupid of me'.
- 'You got that right!'Roxy said just couldn't keep her mouth shut.
- 'Roxy, i'm warning you!'Ronnie said again thinking her sister was sometimes also just acting like a teenager, it sometimes was like she was the only adult and taking care of 2 teenagers.
- 'Well thank you for your apology darling, i ehm, i'm sorry if you thought i was gonna damage that radiothingy you have up there, that wasn't my intension at all, i just wanted it to stop'Glenda said.
- 'There is an on and off button on it mum'Robbie said sitting down on the armrest next to Glenda.
- 'Well you have to show it to me some time then'Glenda said'Oh and darling, don't think these two were ever so well behaved, i grounded and smacked some bottoms with your sisters lots of times because they were mouthing me off or being really naughty'Glenda said to ease the little tension between her and Robbie.
- 'Mum mouthing you off, really?'Robbie said with a cheeky smile looking at Ronnie.
Ronnie was blushing a bit.
- 'Yes, remember that one time i called you inside and you were with you friends there wanting to be really cool with them, telling me that you weren't coming and i had to drag you into the house, Robbie she was yelling at me and so i smacked her bottom all the way home' Glenda said smiling looking at both Robbie and Ronnie.
- 'Thanks a lot mum'Ronnie said looking at Jack and feeling embarrased.
- 'I mean Roxy yes definitely but mum…i can't believe it, can you believe that Jack'Robbie said walking over to Jack with disbelieve.
- 'Wasn't it really Roxy, Glenda? Jack asked Glenda grinning at Roxy.
- 'No it wasn't only me, Ronnie used to be much of a brat too'Roxy said'Mum you have to keep your mouth shut'.
- ' Oi, don't talk to your mother like that, telling her to shut her mouth'Robbie said walking over to Roxy teasing.
- 'Come any closer and you'll be surprised'Roxy said looking serious at Robbie. Robbie not knowing when to stop walked really close to Roxy and then Roxy grabbed Robbie and put her in between herself and Glenda on the sofa.
- 'You know what i also was good at babysis?'Roxy asked Robbie.
- 'Snorring in your sleep maybe, wanting to snog every guy that says hi to you, that you start to sing when you let of gas, what, cause i still have a few'Robbie said making Glenda and Ronnie laugh out loud.
Roxy then started tickling her everywhere, she knew Robbie would die of being so ticklish.
- 'Mum help me and make her stooop ahhh please Roxyyyy!'Robbie yelled which made Glenda laugh out loud, then Ronnie jumped on Roxy and was trying to get her arms away from Robbie, Glenda got hold of Robbie and while Ronnie held Roxy, Robbie got up and jumped on Glenda's lab crawling into her neck.
- 'Mum keep her away from me'Robbie sreamed feeling Roxy's fingers whenever she got out of Ronnie's arms.
The bell rang and Jack, smiling, walked over to the door, it was the food that got delivered.
- 'The food is here girls, please follow me into the kitchen to have some dinner'Jack said and walked to the kitchen.
Ronnie got of Roxy and they both got up. Glenda and Robbie also stood up and Ronnie got hold of Robbie.
- 'Thank you'Ronnie said'And forget about what mum just told you yeah'.
- 'Oh no no no, i'm gonna wait till i can use it against ya!'Robbie said then Ronnie gave her a little tickle when they walked into the kitchen.
After dinner Robbie and Jack did the dishes together, Roxy went upstairs to get Amy to bed. After Amy was asleep she took a bath and then turned in herself since she still wasn't really feeling better and she wanted to go over to the Branningdinner tomorrow too.
- 'Jack?'Robbie asked while washing some forks and knives.
- 'Yeah?'Jack said drying of some of the plates that were in the dryingrack.
- 'What did yo think of this afternoon, you know me spinning at the club?'Robbie asked'and i want you to be honest with me yeah, not just being nice cause i'm related to Ronnie' Robbie said. Jack got a smile on his face and put the plate in one of the cupboards.
- 'Well you would need a little more practise but ehm..i think you've absolutely got something'Jack said grabbing another plate.
- 'Really, do you mean that?'Robbie's eyes lit up again 'You think maybe somewhere in the future i could spin one night?'
- 'Well you have to keep practising first and then when you're a little bit older maybe we can fix something yeah'Jack said putting the last plate in the cupboard.
- 'You babys done with the dishes?'Ronnie said walking into the kitchen.
- 'Mum guess what?'Robbie said being really hyper and jumping on Ronnie's back.
- 'Robbie, woow could you calm down'Ronnie said putting her arms round Robbie's legs that were round her waist.
- 'Jack said that if i could practise more spinning in the club i could spin one night, you know in the future, right Jack'Robbie said being really happy about this.
- 'Oh really now, and shouldn't you ask me also, being partner, so half boss of the club?'Ronnie said putting Robbie of her back letting her sit on one of the barstools.
- 'Well Jack..'Robbie said.
- 'I was asking Jack baby'Ronnie said smiling at Robbie 'and i think you have to be on your best behaviour for a while and then we'll see'.
- 'But mum..'Robbie already was pouting looking at Ronnie.
- 'Why don't you go to the livingroom, i'm gonna make some tea, you can watch a little telly and then i want you upstairs'Ronnie said stroking her hand over Robbie's cheek.
Robbie got of the chair and Ronnie and Jack hugged, Robbie looked at Jack cause his face was facing her direction and he winked at her making sure he was gonna talk to her mum about it.
Robbie walked to the livingroom and sat next to Glenda who was watching Holby City. Glenda put her arm around Robbie and she snuggeld up to Glenda.
- 'I'm really sorry about before mum, i mean really, i admit i got angry and i was out of line, but i'm really sorry'Robbie said'Maybe tonight i can show you how it works ey, you know my dockingstation'.
- 'Alright darling, that's in the past now alright, we should be looking forward, and i will look tomorrow yeah, your sister and niece are already asleep and you are gonna go to bed anytime soon too so another time alright'.
- 'Ok, do you know where Roxy put my ipod mum, i mean i got good music on it and much more then Rox, so she probably want to nick it from me'Robbie said while Ronnie just walked in with Jack.
- 'I don't know darling'Glenda said looking around a bit.
- 'What?'Ronnie asked.
- 'My ipod Roxy has put it somewhere or has it herself can i go look where it is, in her room obviously'Robbie asked ronnie.
- 'No way babe, i'll ask her tomorrow alright you're going to bed soon, now go and watch telly alright miss busybody!'Ronnie said sighing sitting on Jack's lab on the armchair.
- 'If i'm gonna be late tomorrow because of it, you're gonna write me a note ok!'Robbie said being smart with Ronnie.
- 'Speaking of notes'Ronnie said which made Robbie jump up a bit 'mum i ehm, well
Robbie has a parentsmeeting thursday and well i just found out yesterday cause Robbie forgot about it, but why she forgot is because she doesn't want to have to answer a lot of questions at school, the kids overthere know me as her mum and after dad died she already got a lot of questions and…'.
Robbie looked down, she felt uncomfortable that Ronnie brought this up now.
- 'Oh 'Glenda said looking at Robbie seeing how uncomfortable she was looking now'Don't worry about it darling, i will hear it all from Ronnie, and if it's bad you have to answer to me too, ha ha'Glenda joked'i don't want to make it anymore difficult for you then it already is, as long as you bring me home good grades'.
- 'Really?'Robbie asked looking at Glenda, not feeling sure about it yet.
- 'Yes darling, i already turned your whole world round, don't wanna ruin it forever'Glenda said . Then Robbie gave Glenda a hug, she felt relieved.
- 'It's only gonna be like a 10 minute thing mum'Robbie said 'they mostly are'.
- 'If you're lucký yeah'Ronnie said 'We have sat there longer before, bigmouth, that's her problem, they always come up with that'.
- 'Well she's gonna work on that right darling'Glenda said looking at Robbie.
- 'Yes, and that's what she says everytime'Ronnie said winking at Robbie.
- 'You all have big mouths darling, if she wouldn't she would never had survived'Jack said, immediatly being pinched by Ronnie.
- 'Alright babe, come on, let's go upstairs, i wanna take a look at your sister also, see if she's alright'Ronnie said.
Without any arguments, Robbie got up , gave Glenda a big hug and a kiss, then walked over to Jack and gave hime a kiss goodnight. Then Ronnie and Robbie went upstairs. They walked up to Robbie's room. Ronnie looked round at the mess.
- 'Tomorrow after school, this is the first thing you're gonna be doing alright!'Ronnie said'Go brush your teeth babe, i'll be at Roxy'. Robbie walked over to the bathroom and brushed her teeth, she then walked back to her bedroom, took her clothes of and put a shirt and some pyamashorts on and then got in bed, she didn't wanna walk over to Roxy's cause she was afraid she'd wake her and Amy she was extremely tired too. After a couple of minutes Ronnie came back to her room and lay next to her on the bed.
- 'Alright my little love sleep well'Ronnie said giving Robbie a big cuddle and holding her really tight 'I love you babe'. Ronnie just held Robbie for a little while, when she let go Robbie was already asleep. It was the miracle of Ronnie holding Robbie that soothed her and always made her fall asleep. She gave her a kiss and then she slowly got of the bed, turned the lights off and put Robbie's ipod back on the dockingstation, then she turned around and looked at her for a couple seconds and then she left the room to go back to Jack and Glenda.
