Alfie walked down Bridge Street, carrying Tommy on his shoulders.
"Out of the way people, special little man, coming through!" Alfie yelled making his way through the people on the market, "you hold on tight, Tommy!"
"Oh hello Ian," Alfie stopped by Ian, in front of the Queen Vic.
"How are things? Any better?" Ian asked Alfie.
"Well not much, just been down to the job centre, but it's all for nothing… hey you don't have any jobs goin', do ya?" Alfie asked him.
…
"Kat!" Alfie called out, "we're here!"
"Mummy!" Tommy called out as he ran into the living room and into Kat.
"There's my good boy, did you have fun today?" Kat asked him.
"Mhm," Tommy replied.
"So how did it go? Any luck?" Kat asked Alfie.
"Weeelll… they said they'll put me on a waiting list, but," Alfie explained as he waved his forefinger around, "I did find help under the form of Ian Beale…"
"I hear Ian and I already don't like the sound of this…" Kat said as she folded her arms across her chest.
"He offered me a job at the Chippy… ha, ha, would you look at that? I told you something would come up!" Alfie said, in his happy tone, as he moved towards Kat.
"Frying fish and chips is your idea of a decent family job, is it?" Kat made a face.
"I know it's not much, but it's better than nothing, ain't it?" Alfie said as he wrapped his arms around her.
"You wait till you hear what I gotta say… and remember this morning? hold that thought for tonight…" Kat told him seductively, as Alfie leaned in for a kiss.
They heard the door open, to notice Nan walking in with a lot of shopping bags and heading to the kitchen. Kat and Alfie followed her in.
"Nan, a few groceries you said you'd get, not the whole bleedin' market!" Kat exclaimed as she saw the whole kitchen table covered in bags full of fruit, especially oranges.
"And what's all this orange for?" Kat asked as she observed the bags.
"half-a quid per kilo that cost, we could store it for when we run outta milk, or we could simply start eatin' healthier in the morning for a change," Mo explained.
"anyway… I've got some news!" Kat began.
"Don't tell me you're up the duff again, because the last thing this household needs is more screamin' babies!" Mo said as she stocks the cupboard.
"Cheers nan, it's nice to know what you think of my kids!" Kat added sarcastically.
"Oh you know what I mean; you can barely get any sleep around here!" Mo added.
"Nan! Are you gonna let me talk or what?!" Kat raised her voice.
"Kat, what happened to Zoe?" Alfie butt in.
"Zoe?! What about her?" Mo asked as she turned to face Kat in surprise.
"Shut up the lot of ya and let me explain!" Kat was starting to lose her temper, "Zoe came round here today, she's getting' married next month and she wants ME to walk her down the aisle with Dad!" Kat boasted.
"Are we invited?" Mo asked.
"of course we're all invited you daft cow! The wedding's next month… plus she's pregnant!" Kat added.
"Aw that's amazing!" Mo smiled.
"Oh for Zoe it's amazing but for me it ain't!" Kat added sarcastically.
"Yeah but that baby ain't gonna be keeping me up at night, ain't he?" Mo pushed Kat's buttons.
"Ooooh grandma Kathleen Moon, I like it…" Alfie teased.
"You shut it, or else you could forget about tonight darlin'!" Kat told him as she leaned in closer.
"I'm gonna pretend I hadn't heard that… what was Zoe doing in London anyway? I thought she was living the dream in Ibiza…" Mo asked.
"Her fiance is a millionaire nan, they own a company and they're opening up here as well," Kat explained as she made herself a glass of water.
"well at least one Slater in the family got it right," Mo said, "marrying a loaded bloke…"
"Nan!" Kat yelled.
"Cheers Mo," Alfie added in, feeling offended.
"I don't care if mine's not loaded," Kat added, as she sat on Alfie's lap, "I married the most wonderful man in the world," she said as she gave Alfie a quick peck on the lips and removed lipstick of his lips.
"and how long has she known this bloke anyway?" Mo asked again.
"a few months she said… but there's not anything I could do is there? She's 30 years old, she's not a little girl anymore…" Kat added, still sitting on Alfie's lap.
"Oh and by the way, I was going to leave the last bit out… she gave us a gift…" Kat said as she took out the cheque out of her bra, "twenty grand!" as she showed it in Alfie's face.
"You are joking!" Alfie exclaimed.
"What?!" Mo asked, surprised.
"No, look. I didn't want to accept it at first, but she insisted, turn our life around, she said," Kat explained, "but we do have terms," she said as she stood up, "just because we have this amount of money, doesn't mean we won't work… Alfie keep your mouth shut about this and still take Ian's job, I'll go back on the stall in a couple of weeks and Mo can help me and mind the kids… we are going to use this wisely, okay?"
"Yes Captain!" Alfie said with a smile.
…
Later that night, Kat, in a sexy red and black nightie lit up some candles on her dressing table. She hoisted her breasts up a bit and lay on the bed, waiting for Alfie to come in.
The door soon opened and…
"Nan!" Kat yelled to see her nan in her bedroom without knocking. She covered herself up a little bit.
"Don't mind me, I'm looking for my reading glasses…" Nan said as she looked around.
"and you think your glasses are in here?! And don't you knock?!" Kat tried raising her voice but not high enough to wake up the kids. She got up from the bed.
"I've looked all over the house and I can't find 'em!" Nan said.
"Well go look somewhere else! And where's Alfie?!" Kat asked.
"He's downstairs locking up… great the twins are out but this time I'll be up because of you two getting it on!" Mo added, before she turned to leave.
"Put some earplugs in or something!" Kat snapped as she walked out with her.
Mo walked downstairs to her room, and Kat still in her nightie tiptoed down the stairs and stood at the bottom of the staircase.
"Alfie…" she said slowly and quietly.
Alfie appeared from the kitchen.
"Are you comin' or what?" Kat said seductively.
Alfie grinned, "upstairs, come on!" he said, as he raced her upstairs and spanked her bottom, while Kat burst out giggling, until they made it to the bedroom.
"Shhhh!" Kat told him, giggling as soon as she shut their bedroom door and pulled him in for a kiss, while both of them fell to the bed.
…
A couple of hours later, they lay in each other's arms caressing each other and talking.
"you know, now we are able to pay the rent, we could buy some more new clothes for the boys, we could even go for a few days away to Spain! Just you and me…" Alfie suggested as he turned over to face Kat on her back.
"hmm, easy tiger, first things first, we'll settle the bills first then we'll see… but I'd love that, not sure I'll manage to keep that long away from the boys… and besides I think Nan would flip if we left her all 3 of them," Kat said as she burst out laughing, but her face fell.
"I feel kinda guilty you know, taking Zoe's money, but she wouldn't take no for an answer," Kat added.
"Kat stop worrying, if she insisted, the important thing is that you said thanks like a good girl," Alfie told her, smiling. Kat smiled.
"I love you Alfie Moon," Kat said with a smile, yearning for a kiss.
"I love you too, granny Moon," Alfie pushed her buttons.
"oi you, call me that again and you'll pay big time…" Kat told him giggling.
"ooh feisty, I like it…" Alfie told her as they both leaned in and locked lips.
