27th of October
A taxi pulled up outside the Vic as Roxy climbed out the back of the cab and paid the driver holding tightly onto the baby car seat in her arms and pulling her suitcase behind her. Roxy looked up at the Vic doors and smiled happily to her self as she heard the noise from the locals inside. Taking a quick look around the square Roxy sighed it certainly wasn't Ibiza but it was home Roxy smiled as she looked down into the car seat at a sleeping Amy.
Roxy: lets go home kid. Roxy said pushing the pub door open and walking inside the pub went quite as many of the locals looked at her and smiled. Roxy placed Amy's car seat on the bar as Amy began to wake up and watched as Peggy served a customer still not noticing that Roxy was there. Peggy closed the till and turned around to serve another customer when she noticed the very tanned looking Roxy.
Peggy: Roxy darling your home. Peggy smiled and ran out from behind the bar and ran over and hugged Roxy tightly.
Roxy: did you miss me aunty Peg. Roxy said Smiling down at Peggy who was still holding onto her very tightly. Peggy let go of Roxy as Roxy looked away from Peggy and noticed Jack approaching them with a huge grin on his face.
Peggy: of course I did more than you would ever know. It's been so quite and boring round here without you three girls. Aww look at Amy she's so big. I've got to say am very disappointed in you and that sisters of your I never heard from you once since you've been away. Jack smiled down at Amy as Peggy looked into the car seat at her excitedly Roxy smiled and reached over and lifted the smiling child out of her car seat and handed her to Jack. Jack held onto his daughter tightly and followed as Roxy and Peggy took a seat in one of the seating booths.
Roxy: yeah she is getting big. She is a little madam though she has Ronnie wrapped round her little finger. She knows she just has to cry and Ronnie gives her what ever she wants. Peggy smiled and quickly looked around the pub
Peggy: where is Ronnie love! Jack looked across at Roxy as he heard Peggy mention Ronnie's name. Roxy looked at Peggy and shrugged her shoulders and smiled
Roxy: we dropped her off at the flat. She wanted to go home and drop of her stuff before she came back to see you and you know what Ronnie's like all she has done is complain about being cold since we left Ibiza so she went to a Jacket and put the heating on in the flat. She such a moan. Roxy said laughing
Peggy: why didn't you just wait on your sister and come home together. It would have been nice to see you both together. You are okay aren't you. You and Ronnie haven't been arguing. Roxy shock her head and looked over at Jack then back to Peggy.
Roxy: no me and Ronnie are great. Ronnie had a few things she wanted to do first and she kind of just wanted some space Amy always wants to be with Ronnie so she doesn't get much time on her own any more cause Amy has like this obsess with her aunty Ronnie. Jack looked down at Amy and smiled she wasn't the only one.
Peggy: what made you come home now after four months why now. I've haven't heard from you since you left do you know how worried I have been about you two.
Roxy: we kind of had to. For Ronnie's sake. me and Ronnie spoke and we decided that I should come back because we weren't being fair on Amy keeping here away from her family and her dad for so long. Only Ronnie didn't want to come home took me ages to convince her to come back with us and well we want Amy to spend her first birthday with her family didn't we and Christmas of course. Roxy said reaching over and touching Amy's cheek. Amy was sat on Jack knee looking up at Roxy pulled away grumpily from her mothers touch before kicking her legs and staring to put on a fake cry. Roxy looked at Amy and smiled.
Roxy: calm down kid. She's not here. She wont come running in and give you what you want. Amy looked around the pub as if looking for Ronnie and stopped crying and went back to hitting her toy rabbit against Jack's leg.
Peggy : I suppose I'll just have to wait until that sister of yours gets here wont I cant wait to see her I've missed you both so much. How has she been you know after everything? Why didn't Ronnie want to come home. she is okay ain't she. Roxy looked at Peggy and nodded
Roxy: she's fantastic. She's really changed since we left aunty Peg. She's really happy.
Peggy: when will she be here?
Roxy: soon I hope. You wont recognise her she's got such an amazing tan am still convinced mines is better but she ain't having it. she just so happy aunty Peg nothing like what she was like when we left. I ain't seen her this happy in. well I don't think I've ever seen her this happy. Am so glad her and Amy have bonded too Amy is so cute with her. Just then the pub doors open and Ronnie walked in and noticed Roxy and smiled at her. Ronnie walked over to Roxy when she noticed Peggy as well as Jack sitting with Amy. Peggy turned around to look at Ronnie and quickly threw her arms around her.
Peggy: aww Ronnie love. I've missed you so much. Ronnie smiled as Peggy let go of her and sat back down. Ronnie held her Jacket tighter around her. Peggy looked up at Ronnie happily
Peggy: come on then I want to see this tan your sister was talking about. Roxy reckons hers is better. Ronnie looked at Roxy and smiled widely.
Ronnie: she's just jealous cause she knows I've got a better tan than her. Ronnie said slipping her Jacket off and placing it over the the chair. Peggy turned to look at Ronnie to examine her tan however her eyes fell on her rather larger baby bump
Peggy: your pregnant.
