"how's the baby Tori" asks Jenna
"fine, why such an interest in my child" says Tori
"what just because I don't see myself being a parent I can't be interested in you and your baby" asks Jenna
"oh my God I'm sorry, I haven't been feeling well, Andre rented an ultrasound machine thing from Remy and checked this morning and the baby is healthy, maybe a bit big for eight weeks according to Remy but otherwise healthy" says Tori
"I can't wait till the baby is born, have you thought of names yet" says Jenna
"no I'm not good at names, for all I know it could be twins, Andre said there was a lot of movement and things were unclear, Remy said things might calm down around sixteen weeks" says Tori as Ellen comes running over
"please don't go outside today" says Ellen
"why" asks Jenna
"Mount Etna is spewing ash, like Vesuvius did to Pompeii, it's a low risk but still, four people have died, I put out the warning, I didn't have time to get someone who can write sensibly, I wanted to get the warning out immediately" says Ellen
"has George talked to you guys yet" asks Tori
"about what" asks Ellen
"he's getting ice-cream and will be back in a minute, I'll let him explain" says Tori as George walks in
"I managed to get the last ice-cream before they had to shut down before the ash gets here, you, Hannah and I need to have a talk" says George as he leads Ellen back to her room where Hannah waits
With Ellen in her room
"you're not taking her away are you" asks Ellen scared eating the ice-cream George bought
"no, quite the opposite, I had a chat with Adriana and she gave me some advice, Hannah has a condition that jumpstarted her puberty early, it is a detriment to both of you to hold you back completely, the pajamas rule is no longer being enforced while you two are alone though underwear is strongly advised, if she ok's it then you can touch her but you can NOT play with her parts, touching only and only on top of the underwear, not touching her special skin, you are not old enough for that" says George
"can I touch her chest without her trainer on" asks Ellen
"within reason, Sadie quit her job to be with Tori more during the pregnancy so I hired her to keep an eye on you" says George
"what if I get carried away, I've never been allowed to touch someone before, what if I go too far" asks Ellen terrified
"accidents are fine, as long as after said accident you tell Sadie about it, what I won't tolerate is intentional rule breaking, where you accidentally go too far and don't tell Sadie about it, honesty is key here" says George
"can we kiss" asks Hannah
"you are her girlfriend Hannah, by definition you can yes, the important thing is moderation and honesty, you guys are still four years away from being able to consent to more, I ask that you respect that, like I said accidents are fine, I understand that Ellen won't always be able to control it" says George as Sadie walks in
"when do I start George" asks Sadie
"right now, I have ten grand waiting for you this month" says George
"t-t-ten grand, that's a lot of money, how can you afford that" asks Sadie
"Hannah's safety has always been my top priority Sadie, I was Prime Minister of Australia for eight years, I've racked in money as a result, though this money you're earning is as a result of my position on Jade's peoples Protection company, it's an Italian funded company that provides protection to girls like Ellen or Hannah, for things like what happened to Cat and Tori, she's taking the crisis head on, basically it's a bounty hunter program targeted at stopping people from kidnapping girls and raping them" says George
"so I'm not the only one getting paid this much" asks Sadie
"every vulnerable household has a chance to get a protector, as a result Robbie's plan to build a building hallway between here and his house was approved, specifically as a result of me hiring you, if Cassidy needs help with something you can help her, nothing sexual in nature though, specifically security based, Jade is getting security cameras and Robbie will set them up and give you control over them, if they require any footage, for any reason they must ask you first, the only camera they will have direct access to for footage is the garage and only because it's where they sell the ice-cream" says George
"so they can still view footage they just can't copy it" asks Sadie
"yes, oh and also you are being given access to the camera in this room" says George
"this room, isn't that a bit creepy" asks Sadie
"if it were a guy having access then yes, I know that once Ellen starts it might be hard for her to stop, I also know she is terrible at keeping secrets, I have set ground rules however I don't want someone taking things out of context, trust me it can happen, I was explaining to another employee of Jades at the People's Protection Company about Sarah and before I could explain that Sarah and Belle had been slaves in Spain they instantly thought I raped them, even if I had I was born a girl and down there I'm still a girl, I took the hormones but was too scared to do the surgery, I explained that to my co-worker and they realized they misunderstood what I was saying, if I a former Prime Minister of Australia can be mis-understood I can only imagine how easily something Ellen or Hannah say could be taken out of context, you only have control over the camera for safety reasons and to verify when Ellen accidentally goes too far" says George
"it still seems kind of creepy" says Sadie
"you're not looking for high quality details Sadie, underwear pulling and front door skin mostly, as well as wording, they're only allowed to touch one another through the panties, they're not allowed to touch the skin underneath so if either of them are cuddling without panties you can consider that a violation unless they specifically ask for regular cuddles that way, this room does appear to get hot so they're only allowed to take their bottoms off as a matter of cooling down not as a means to touch with their hands, all hand play or head play down there is also not allowed, I don't want the cops called" says George
"what kind of words dad" asks Hannah
"she will be looking for sentences like 'no we shouldn't' and 'but I need to', you can deny it all you want Hannah but I have proof of how you word things and Jade is compiling a list of phrases Ellen commonly uses, Sadie's only job is to make sure you guys are safe, she will have a direct Police and Ambulance phone number she will be allowed to call if she needs to, Jade is taking on the kidnapping crisis head on Hannah, which as an indirect result makes you and Ellen targets" says George
"what if we feel scared or frightened or somebody tries to kidnap us" asks Ellen
"then you call for Sadie or the cops, your walks for ice-cream will now require Sadie to walk with you" says George
"even if it's night time, if we have nightmares, normally we'd cuddle Tori but she put rules so nights we can't, Hannah has bad dreams a lot" asks Ellen
"as of tonight yes she will be available, Tori has requested specific times to be with Sadie, I explained Hannah's nightmare issue so Tori has given her the nights to comfort you girls if she needs to, all it requires is a text, unless Jade brings you home ice-cream your walks next door will be at four in the afternoon when Sadie wakes up, after Robbie's connector Hall is finished you may text them and ask them if they can bring it to the hallway, they are not obligated to do so however" says George
"Jade shouldn't be outside right now it's dangerous, breathing in volcanic ash will kill her" says Ellen
"she was in her car when you put the warning out, most likely she went to Cassandra's, the whole province of Catania is a ghost town right now thanks to your warning Ellen, they're eagerly waiting for an update" says George as Ellen checks her phone
"ok so it spewed out a ton of ash but has stopped, can you write the warning down so I can post it, the warning needs to say 'the air is clear but tons of ash on the ground travel is emergency only as it is cleaned up', I'm texting Cass to get her to get the cleaning crews up and running, as she is living here now all the press briefings happen here, she has also taken up this area as a priority" says Ellen as Sadie writes the warning
"you really do have a big vocabulary Ellen, bigger than I realized" says George as Ellen sends the message out
"that's because she learned to speak by listening to people speak but the school never taught her to write, they think she's stupid dad" says Hannah
"and I see you've been learning to overcome your disorder Hannah, I'm proud of you, as for Ellen that is an injustice we must fix, is there anyone with the patience to teach her" says George
"Cat was the only one, Robbie maybe but Cat's still struggling with memory things and Robbie doesn't have the time to help" says Sadie
"what if I gave you a bonus to help Ellen, you very much seem like the teacher type" says George
"if I was going to be any sort of teacher it'd be sex-Ed but I suppose I can try, with a baby coming I really need to hold up my end of the money pot, Andre is pushing out songs like crazy, even a few with Tori as a duet and Tori is writing some of them therefore I was the person making the least amount of money and I'm very competitive" says Sadie
"dad tell her the story about the box with holes" says Hannah
"one day I came home to a box with holes in it, as it turned out the people she called friends had gotten their parents to put Hannah in a box and mail her to my house, when I demanded an answer the parents said that Hannah was unnatural because her body was well into puberty before everyone in her class and that particular group of adults believes anything even slightly out of their beliefs of what's normal is unnatural, they were under the belief that Hannah was part of some sort of sexualization of children experiment and mailed her home to prove a point, she went two days without food while in the mail system, they nearly killed her, I charged them with attempted murder and went to court, they tried to defend their actions but when my lawyer explained Hannah's situation the jury was settled, there was no deliberation, talk about a fast trial, all the jury did was look at one another then look at Hannah, the head juror then stood up and told the judge they'd reached a decision, guilty on all counts, it was that day I removed her from the school system, it's been many years and she never learned about sex education nor about consent, as much as I pushed her private teachers to do that they refused, her education as a whole suffered as a result because nobody wanted to believe she was as sexually mature as someone two years older than her" says George
"I will do what I can, now you really should walk back to your place, I have some teaching to do" says Sadie as George nods and heads home and Ellen's phone goes off
"what is it Robbie" asks Ellen
"I saw you posted the only emergency travel update, is it ok to open the ice-cream parlor or no" asks Robbie
"only for the people who are in this part of the neighbourhood, Cass generally makes sure areas around me are ok first, the cleaning trucks should be by soon" says Ellen
"yes one just went by, cleaned up all the ash on our two yards and my garage door" says Robbie
"can you bring Hannah and I an ice-cream first then, we have the money" says Ellen
"eager to spend your money I see, we don't do delivery unfortunately" says Robbie as Ellen pouts
"I'll tip" says Ellen as Sadie realizes what's going on
"I can't do delivery Ellen I'm sorry" says Robbie
"Robbie she's already had ice-cream today, she just got some good news and like Cat has issues processing it, she's not interested in the ice-cream as much is she is interested in talking to you" says Sadie
"oh, in that case I'll be right over, as long as Alex and Cassidy can visit" says Robbie
"sure why not" says Ellen as she accidentally hangs up
