It was a couple of days later and Roxy felt that Ineta had been ignoring her. Roxy was scared that it was because she had been talking to Ineta about. She didn't want to upset the girl anymore but she wanted to girl to understand what was going on.
Roxy decided that before going over to Aleks, she was going to spend time with Amy first. She didn't feel like she had spend a lot of time with her daughter. She walked over to the daughter's bedroom and went into the room with her.
"Hey mummy" Amy said.
"Hey ams, what do you want to do?" Roxy asked.
"Can you please play with me?" Amy asked and Roxy nodded. She sat down with her little girl and played with her to keep her happy. They ended up having a tickle fight which Amy loved. She loved spending time with her mum.
"Ams, would you mind if I go and see Ineta for a while?" Roxy asked and Amy shrugged her shoulder.
"Mummy, can they just move in with us? It would be so much easier and well I like Ineta and Aleks" Amy explained and Roxy laughed.
"Maybe big girl, me and Aleks have to talk about it" Roxy explained and Amy nodded.
"Okay" She said before Roxy felt. Ronnie said that she would be in and keep any eye on Amy. Roxy decided to go to the library to see if they could help her. She arrived and went straight up to the reception.
"Do you have any Latvian books?" Roxy asked.
"We actually do, do you need any help?" She asked and Roxy nodded. Roxy decided to take some books out for Ineta. She knew that the girl liked reading as she had seen her with a book. She with the help of the librarian found some books which she thought Ineta would like.
"Do you have any books on puberty?" Roxy asked. "She was a complaining of a sore tummy and I think she might be starting but I can't explain it to her. I'm scared she doesn't understand"
The librarian nodded.
"It must be hard" The librarian said and Roxy nodded.
"She is trying so hard but I like to give the girl a break from speaking English. She is trying so hard that little girl" Roxy said and the librarian nodded. They continued to talk for a while before Roxy headed home. Roxy arrived quickly and Ronnie came to the door.
"By the way, Ineta is up the stairs with Amy" Ronnie said and Roxy gave her a weird look.
"Well, Aleks needed someone to look after her while he worked" Ronnie explained and Roxy nodded.
"Can you keep Amy entertained while I speak to Ineta" Roxy asked and Ronnie nodded.
"What are you talking to her about the other day" Ronnie asked and Roxy nodded.
"What are you going to say?" Ronnie asked wanting to make sure that Roxy had actually thought about it before she scared the girl.
"Yeah, I went to the library and got some books and that" Roxy said and Ronnie nodded.
"Will Ineta be able to understand it?" Ronnie asked.
"I got some in Latvian" Roxy said and Ronnie nodded.
"That's a pretty good idea" Ronnie said and Roxy smiled.
"Not just a pretty face you know" Roxy said and Ronnie laughed. Roxy walked into Amy's bedroom where she saw her and Ineta playing.
"Ineta, can you come into my room for a minute?" Roxy asked "Amy you can go down the stairs with Auntie Ronnie if you want?"
Amy nodded and went down the stairs while Ineta followed Roxy into her room.
Roxy sat down on the bed and encouraged Ineta to sit next to her. Ineta moved and sat next to her.
"Ineta, I'm really sorry if I scared you the other day" Roxy said and Ineta looked down.
"I'm not trying to embarrass or worry you I just want you to be aware so that you aren't scared when it happens. You could start tomorrow or not for another couple of years, everyone is different" Roxy explained and Ineta nodded.
"So I don't really know how much you understand and it is quite difficult words so I got you this book and I have a matching one in English so if you have any problems or that we can talk about it" Roxy said and Ineta nodded.
"I also got you some other books which I think you might like" Roxy said handing them to Ineta.
"Thank you" She said quietly.
"It's okay" Roxy said.
"Shall we have a look at the book?" Roxy asked and Ineta just nodded slightly. She opened the book and read through the pages. Roxy could tell that she was a little nervous about it all.
"Listen sweetie, it's not scary" Roxy said. "When some of these changes start to happen I will help you"
Ineta nodded but was still scared.
"If you notice that you are sweetie more just say and I will get you deodorant. Same as if you think you need a bra or just a crop top you only have to tell me. If I think you need anything I will get you it. The last thing I want is you to get embarrassed by other people saying something" Roxy said and Ineta nodded.
"Roxy" Ineta said and Roxy looked down at the girl into her eyes.
"Thank you for telling me about this. I was kind of starting to think about it. You know some girls my age as getting bigger and look more like a woman. I didn't know how" Ineta said and Roxy smiled.
" It's okay sweetie, as long as you remember that you can tell me anything" Roxy said and Ineta nodded.
"Come here" Roxy said opening her arms and letting Ineta fall into them.
"I'm glad you here, I couldn't talk to Dad about it" Ineta said and Roxy nodded.
"I won't talk to my dad about it, I used to talk to my sister" Roxy explained.
"Not your mama?" Ineta asked and Roxy shook her head.
"My mum left me when I was about your age" Roxy said.
"Just like mine" Ineta said and Roxy nodded.
"But your mum left you for a good reason. She wanted you to have a good life, my mum left because she didn't want to look after me and Ronnie anymore and well Ronnie was pregnant so was she" Roxy explained.
"Ronnie already a mum?" Ineta asked.
"Her daughter died a few years ago" Roxy explained.
"That's a shame" Ineta said and she looked down.
"I miss my mum" Ineta said and Roxy sighed.
"Oh baby, I know but don't worry I will not leave you" Roxy said kissing the girl on the head before they walked down the stairs.
Ineta went straight up to Ronnie and gave her a hug. Ronnie accepted it but was a little confused.
"What was that for?" Ronnie asked and Ineta shrugged her shoulder before leaving to see Amy.
"Do you know what that was about?" Ronnie asked.
"Em, we were talking and I told her about Danielle. It might be that I suppose" Roxy said and Ronnie nodded.
"She is a lovely girl" Ronnie said and Roxy nodded.
"She has been brought up well" Roxy said and Ronnie nodded.
"How did your talk go?" Ronnie asked.
"She seemed okay actually, she relaxed quickly and we talked a little" Roxy said and Ronnie nodded.
"That's good, she is getting on with you well now?" Ronnie explained and Roxy nodded.
"I know, I am so glad that she is" Roxy said.
They talked for a bit longer before they had lunch. Roxy then decided take the two girls out to the cinema to see Annie. She was a little nervous to take them both out at the same time especially as Amy liked to show off when Ineta was there.
They went to the cinema and ended up really enjoying it. Amy behaved well, at the end of the film Roxy looked at Ineta who was looking away from her.
"What's wrong?" Roxy asked and Ineta looked at Roxy with tears in her eyes.
"Hey" She said pulling the girl into her arms.
"It makes me think of my mum not being here" Ineta said. "please don't leave me I don't want to go to an orphanage"
"Hey, it's okay I promise not to leave you and you have your dad" Roxy said.
"I know but he gets annoyed with me all the time. All he does is work" Ineta said.
"Oh sweetie, neither of us will leave you we promise" Roxy said kissing the girl on the head.
She decided to take the girls out for tea. They went out to a nice but relatively cheap restaurant. They ordered their food and Roxy enjoyed talking to both of them. They were really well behaved and talked responsible to Roxy.
"Roxy, can I go to the toilet?" Ineta whispered and Roxy nodded.
"Of course you can" Roxy said. "Amy do you need to go too?"
Amy nodded and they both jumped off their seats. They went to the toilet and Ineta wouldn't let Amy go in with her so she went running back to Roxy crying.
"What's wrong?" Roxy asked.
"Ineta won't let me in the toilet with me?" Amy complained.
"Amy, you need to go by yourself" Roxy said.
"It scares me" Amy said. Roxy knew the girl hated locking the door in the bathroom if she was by herself. Ineta came back and sat down.
"I'm just going to take Amy to the toilet" Roxy said and Ineta nodded. She was being really quiet. Roxy disappeared and came back not long later.
"Are you okay?" Roxy asked after paying the bill. Ineta nodded but was biting her lip.
"Are you sure?" Roxy asked.
"I'm sorry but I just didn't want Amy coming into the toilet with me" Ineta admitted.
"it's okay, don't worry. I didn't think she would ask" Roxy said and Ineta nodded glad that Roxy wasn't making a big deal of it.
They went back home and the girls split up. Ineta went into Roxy's room to read some of her new books that Roxy got her. She didn't have a room to go to so hide in the airing cupboard which she really liked.
Then Roxy called on her to say that she had to go home.
