Connie paused at Grace's bedroom door before knocking and going in. She saw the two girls sat on the bed both with their ear phones in. She slowly walked towards the bed and sat down.
"Can you take those of for a minute darlings" she said.
The girls looked at each other before removing the ear phones and looking to Connie.
"I know I haven't been very attentive lately, alright and I'm very sorry" Connie told them.
"Okay" Grace had said and the girls went to put there earphones back on.
"Wait,wait,wait" Connie said stopping them as Savannah rolls her eyes.
"Look its fine okay" Savannah said.
"What if I take the day off work and we could do something?" Connie said to them.
"Like what?" Grace questioned.
"Like whatever you two want" Connie told them
"How about we start by making pancakes there's maple syrup in the cupboard" Connie said smiling
"Won't you get in trouble with your boss?" Savannah questioned.
"I've already phoned him and told him I have a family emergency"
"Really?" Savannah asked.
"Really"Connie said
The girls smiled before sitting up.
"Get out then" Grace said.
"What" said Connie
"We need to get changed" Grace told her.
"What's wrong with what your wearing?" Connie asked.
"We look like we're auditioning for geek factor" Savannah said and Grace nodded in agreement.
"Okay" Connie said laughing before getting up and leaving.
Soon after Connie and the girls were in the kitchen putting all the pancake ingredients in a bowl then started to pour it in the pan.
Connie flipped the pancake up in the air and the girls watched surprisingly as she caught it, just then her phone started to ring.
"Right that's good enough" Connie said putting down the pan before going to grab her phone.
"You girls start with the next one" she said as she picked up her phone.
"Connie Beachump" she spoke as she answered the phone.
"Not to much darling" she said to Grace as she picked up a massive spoon full of flower.
Grace looked to Savannah not knowing what to do, Savannah shrugged her shoulders so Grace just poured it in.
"Eh no I said I had a family emergency so no I can't" Con is spoke on the phone.
Savannah looked over at Connie as she was on the phone.
"Can't it wait" Connie asked.
Connie sighed into the phone
And the two girls looked at each other before sighing themselves knowing something had come up.
"Okay, I'll call Guy" Connie said before hanging up.
She put her phone down and turned to see both girls looking at her.
"What, what?" She asked.
"Your going to say we're going to have to do this another day aren't you?" Said Savannah.
"No, no its nothing" Connie said before sighing.
"They want me to sign a piece of paper and the dead line is today but its fine"
All you have to do is sign a piece of paper" Grace said.
"It's fine i'll sort it" Connie told them not wanting to cause a fuss.
"Let's just go do it" Savannah said.
"Really" said Connie quite surprised.
"You can take us to lunch afterwards"
"Oh can I" said Connie.
"And the cinema" Grace chimed in.
"Oh young ladies you drive a hard bargain, deal" Connie said to them.
Not long after they arrived at the hospital and walked through the doors.
"Right two minutes then cinema"
"Shops first" Grace said cutting her off.
"Right and what's this film about?" Connie asks them.
"Trust me you'll love it" Savannah said
"Jayden Smith's In it" Grace said
"Who" asked Connie
"We are so not related" Savannah said shaking her head and Connie laughed.
"Mrs Beachump someone's been trying to get hold of you about an infection" Louise said but Connie cut her off.
"Call him back and tell him i'll speak to him tommorow" Connie said and continued walking.
" sorry Mrs Beachump I was wondering if you had a chance o read my research paper" Dr Hardy began before Connie yet again cut him off.
"I will let you know when I've had the chance Dr Hardy because I'll tell you" Connie said as she stopped in her tracks.
"Right" she said going into her bag and grabbing Her purse
"Why don't you go to the shop and get yourselves something suitable calorific and meet me in reception" she told them handing Savannah a twenty pound note.
The girls nodded before heading off. As they walked through the doors they saw lofty.
"What does calorific mean?" Grace asked
"Tasty" Lofty told her.
"Cool" both girls said before heading off.
"What are you going to get" Grace asked her older sister.
"These" she answered holding up a bag of bon bons.
"I'll get the same" Grace said wanting to be like her sister.
So they went up and paid before going to sit in seats at reception.
It was about twenty minuted later when Savannah got tired of waiting.
"I'm going to get her, c'mon" Savannah said to her little sister and they walked to there mums office passing Tess on the way in.
"How long now" Grace moaned.
"Oh I Know sweetheart I'm going as fast as I can" Connie told them.
The girls gave her a glare before both turning round and leaving.
" I knew she wouldn't even be able to spend one day with us" Savannah said annoyed at herself for thinking that her mum might actually be interested in them for once.
The girls were stood outside when eventually Connie came.
"Printers here are so ancient the instructions are in hyrogliphics" Connie said to them.
"Right let's hit the shops" and she took hold of the girls hands and they began walking.
They had just started walking when they heard someone shout behind them.
"You with the hair are you a doctor" the lady in the ambulance shouted.
"Yes but" Connie was cut off by the lady speaking.
"Well your not doing anything so why can't you treat me"
"Mrs Calder has a point we've been waiting 45 minutes control have got 13 outstanding emergency calls" Dixie told Connie.
"Can you not find a nurse" Connie asked not wanting to get involved.
"There all tied up with patients"
"Well sorry I'm not working today" Connie told her.
"Well I was due a break three hours ago" Dixie said.
"Alright I'll find someone" Connie sighed.
"Mum" the girls said.
"No sorry darlings I'll be one minute" and she turned on her heels and walked inside.
The girls gave Dixie and the woman daggers before walking over to sit on the bench.
"She can't even leave work for one day" Savannah said trying not to cry.
"Its okay we don't need her you said it yourself" Grace told her big sister.
"You really don't get it Grace so just leave it" Savannah told her and so the girls stayed silent.
Shortly after Grace pulled out her phone and dialled a number.
"What are you doing" said Savannah.
"Calling my grandma" Grace said and Savannah rolled her eyes as Grace spoke to her Grandma in the phone
about ten minutes or so after Connie came walking over.
"Sorry girls are you two ready Jason Smith is waiting" Connie asked them.
"JaYDEN" the girls corrected her.
"jayden right sorry, lets go" she said.
"We can't we have to wait in Grandma" Grace told her.
"Why what do you mean"
"I phoned her she's coming to pick us up" Grace said.
"I'm done now" Connie told them.
"You said you were done 45 minutes ago" Savannah stated.
"What you two would rather spend the day with her" Connie asked stayed quiet
"At least she doesn't forget about us" Grace said.
Connie was about to reply when Audrey came running over.
"I came as fast as I could had to leave my half full trolley in the shop" Audrey told them, Grace smiled but Savannah just glared at her.
Everyone went to Connie office and Connie sat down.
"You don't get it" Grace told her as she seemed to be doing all the talking for once.
"Darling I have spent the morning trying to sort things just so I can send the day with you both" Connie told them.
"You said you just need to sign some paper"
"I know" Connie said as there was a knock on the door and everyone turned round as Ethan came in.
"Not now Dr hardy can't you see I'm in the middle of something" Connie said raising her voice and then a left.
"I just want to spend the day with my daughters" ssaid Connie
"Well right now your daughters don't want to spend the day with you" Audrey told her.
"Girls please" Connie pleaded.
"Why don't we go for a chat" Audrey said and went out the door Grace following her but Savannah stayed behind.
"Darling I am really sorry" Connie began but Savannah cut her off.
"Stop it, stop saying sorry when you don't mean it" Savnnah shouted at her mum.
"Darling I" but she was cut off again
"You don't get it do you?, its okay for Grace she's got her grandma and a dad she talk to on the phone anytime, I dot have that all I have is you and tiu find every possible excuse not to spend time with me and Grace, you cant even spend one day away from work" Savannah shouted tears streaming down her face.
Connie's face dropped as she heard what Savannah was saying finally beginning understand why she was so hostile towards Connie.
"I'm all on my own I don't t have anyone who cares about me" Savannah said and she walked out the door slamming it behind her.
Everyone looked as she ran past , she ran till she got to the toilet, she went in shut the door and sat down in there and cried, no one wanted her or cared about her, she was all alone.
