Chapter Five

Silently Arnold, Lilimay and Junior made their way down to Kriss and Dave's bedroom. Lilimay didn't know what to say, she wanted to ask about Chloë and Theo but she knew Arnold was in a bit of a bad mood. When they finally arrived Arnold knocked on the door

"Kristine" Arnold called "we're here to see Chloë and Theo"

"Come in" Kriss said through gritted teeth.

Arnold opened the door and instead of seeing Kriss, Chloë and Theo he saw Kriss, Dave, Chloë, Llewey, Jim-Bexley, Alicia-May and Theo.

"I thought Lilimay and Junior would want to meet Chloë and Theo's whole family"

"Lovely" Lilimay smiled "who's who?"

"Well" Kriss smiled "this is your sister, Chloë!"

Lilimay gave Chloë a hug "how old is she?"

"Four" Kriss smiled "she's four!"

Junior shook Chloë's hand and nodded. Chloë started to cry

"Don't worry about Junior" Lilimay smiled "I'm Lilimay!"

"Lilimay?" Chloë smiled "who are you?"

"I'm your sister" Lilimay told her "and Junior is your brother"

Chloë was confused

"Mummy" Chloë asked, "What does Lilimay mean?"

"Well" Kriss attempted to explain "Daddy meat Yvonne and made Lilimay and Junior before he made you!"

"How are babies made, Mummy?" Chloë's innocent eyes shone like stars and made Kriss smirk

"They grow in their mummy's tummy!" Kriss answered

"How do they get there?"

"Daddy puts them there!"

"Daddy or Daddy Dave?"

"Daddy put you there!"

"What about Llewey?"

"Daddy Dave"

"What about Jim-Bexley"

"Daddy Dave"

"Alicia-May?"

"Daddy Dave"

"But mummy," Chloë smiled "what about Theo?"

"Daddy"

"Why didn't Daddy Dave put me or Theo there?"

"Because daddy had already put you there"

"Why didn't Daddy put Llewey, Jim-Bexley or Alicia-May there?" Chloë was so inquisitive and by this time every one was in fits of silent laughter

Kriss had to think about this one "because it was Daddy Dave's turn"

"Whose turn is it next?" Chloë asked

"My turn" Dave interrupted "it's my turn next!"

"Oh" Chloë turned to Dave "Daddy Dave, how do you put them there?"

"Mummy will tell you" Dave didn't want to deal with this "ask mummy"

"Thanks Dave!" Kriss hissed "what did you say Chloë?"

"How is Daddy Dave going to put a baby in your tummy?"

"He just does precious" Kriss needed something to take Chloë's mind off of it "now do you want to play with Lilimay?"

"Okay Mummy" Chloë smiled

At that moment Yvonne and Jemimah came in

"Kriss, I'm sorry" Yvonne declared "I can't live with out you as my friend" Yvonne smiled "can we go back to how we were before Chloë was born?"

"Why didn't you tell me about Lilimay and Junior?" Kriss asked

"I didn't want to hurt you Krissie!" she smiled "you went away for a few years and then you went to prison," Yvonne pleaded

"But I came to see you twice" Kriss answered "why didn't' you tell me then?"

"You were upset" Yvonne smiled "and then you were pregnant"

"You should have told me, Yvonne"

"I didn't want to ruin your first pregnancy"

"Okay" Kriss smiled "I understand"

"Would you like to get to know them all?"

"Who?"

"Jemimah, Lilimay and Junior?" Yvonne responded, "Would you like to get to know them?"

"Yes" Kriss smiled "would you like to get to know Chloë, Llewey, Jim-Bexley, Alicia-May and Theo?"

"Okay" Yvonne responded, "We need to get to know each other again"

"I'll get Dave to look after the kids tonight"

"I'll get Arnold to look after my three!"

"We'll have time to catch up then!" Kriss gave Yvonne a hug "7.00, I'll express some milk for Theo's 10 o'clock feed, Dave can feed him"

"Will he be okay with that?" Yvonne asked, "Will he mind?"

"Not at all" Kriss smiled "he's done it all before"
