Jac cuddled Isabelle close to her while she sobbed and after a while Isabelle fell asleep. Jac laid Isabelle on the bed and went down stairs to start dinner. Jac was putting the vegetable lasagne in the over when she heard the front door open and Joseph's voice.
"Hi Darling" said Joseph coming into the kitchen.
"Hi Joe" said Jac closing the oven.
"Where's Isabelle" asked Joseph.
"Asleep she was in a right mood when I picked her up from school when we got home she kicked and hit me" said Jac
"Why" said Joseph
"She blames me for Connie moving away" said Jac
"Bless her" said Joseph "But I will have a word with her about hitting you" At that moment Isabelle entered the kitchen.
"Hello daddy" said Isabelle.
"Hello Daddy needs to talk to you young lady" said Joseph Isabelle sat down on the chair beside Joseph. "Isabelle daddy is not pleased with you for hitting mummy"
"Mummy argued with Connie now she's taking Grace away" said Isabelle.
"That isn't the reason Connie is going away Isabelle and that doesn't give you the right to hit and kick your mummy" said Joseph.
"I'm sorry mummy" said Isabelle
"It's ok hunnie" said Jac "Listen Connie is moving to London because she has a new job"
"That's what you say" said Isabelle.
"Don't talk to me that way young lady" said Jac dishing up the dinner and putting Isabelle's plate in front of her.
Once they had finished eating Joseph loaded the dish washer while Jac folded the clean washing and took it up stairs. Jac was on her way back down when the phone began to ring so she picked it up.
"Hello" said Jac "Oh hi Connie"
A few minutes later Jac put the phone down and walked into the kitchen.
"What did Connie want" asked Joseph.
"She's on her way over" said Jac
"With Grace" asked Isabelle
"Yes go brush your hair" said Jac.
Isabelle dashed off up stairs by the time she came back down Connie was in the sitting room chatting to Jac.
"The house is lovely oh Jac you will have to come and see it" said Connie. Isabelle walked across the room and sat down beside Grace who was silently crying.
"Wow Connie I wish my bath was that size" said Jac
"Well I thought I will need more space to soak" said Connie with a giggle.
"I HATE YOU CONNIE YOUR TAKING MY BEST EVER FRIEND AWAY FROM ME AND YOU DON'T EVEN CARE" shouted Isabelle
"Isabelle stop shouting now" said Jac.
"NO I WON'T I'M SICK OF YOU GROWN UPS MESSING WITH OUR LIVES ITS NOT FAIR" shouted Isabelle
At this point Joseph walked into the room.
"Isabelle stop that now" said Joseph
"I SAID NO" shouted Isabelle she stood up and started to kick Connie's legs
"Isabelle stop it now" said Jac trying to drag her off but Isabelle started to kick Jac as well.
"Isabelle no" said Joseph he pulled Isabelle into his arms still kicking and screaming he carried her up stairs and put her into her bedroom "Now you stay in this room until you calm down"
Joseph went back down stairs and found Connie gone and Jac sitting on the sofa sobbing. Joseph sat beside Jac and pulled her into his arms.
"Oh Joseph what am I going to do" said Jac "why is she so cross with me"
"Oh sweetie don't get yourself in a state its not good for the baby" said Joseph rubbing Jac's tummy.
"Madam's gone quite I'd better go and see what she's up to" said Jac she stood up wiping her eyes with the back of her hand and headed up stairs. Jac opened Isabelle's door and found the room a mess but no Isabelle then she heard sniffing coming from her own bedroom so she walked down the hall and opened her door and there on the bed quietly sobbing was Isabelle.
Jac walked over to the bed and sat down next to Isabelle.
"Go away" said Isabelle
"Isabelle stop talking to mummy like that" said Jac
"I HATE YOU" shouted Isabelle she stood up and ran out of the room and into the bathroom locking the door behind her. Jac dashed after her.
"Isabelle unlock this door now" said Jac
"NO GO AWAY I HATE YOU" shouted Isabelle
"Isabelle mummy said unlock the door right now" said Jac
"NO" shouted Isabelle
At that moment Joseph came up the stairs
"What's going on now" asked Joseph.
"Isabelle has locked herself in the bathroom" said Jac
"That's it she is grounded" said Joseph he walked over to the bathroom door and knocked on it "Isabelle open the door now"
There was a small click and the door opened.
