Authors notes: Thank you for your faithful reviews. I am please that you like the last chapter and I hope you like this one. I have to say that this is not one of my best but I wanted to update again as you had to wait a while before the last chapter. I think this is just to fill in until the next chapter which I am hoping will be much better. All mistake are mine and I just read the word count and it isn't very long but the next chapter I will try to make longer. I wanted to do a chapter on in the hospital so here it is.

God bless all my faithful readers .

"Did you have a good time at Emily's sleepover sweetheart" Zoe asked Ella as she missed her yesterday.

"Yeah it was really good mum, we did loads of girlie things and we watched loads of movies and had pop corn too, can I bring Emily to stay next weekend?"Ella asked cheerfully.

"Oh that's good sweetie and of course Emily can stay next weekend but, I need to see if me or your father are free all day ok?" Zoe smiled.

"Mum why is dad under the covers?" Ella asked as Nick still hadn't come out from under the covers the whole time Ella appeared in the room.

"He's got a grown up headache which is entirely his fault"

"And he needs to hide under the covers for it "Ella laughed

"I guess he does" Zoe laughed too.

"Ok well I'm going to have to jump on the bed " Ella said as she got up and stood on the bed and started bouncing as she knew it would annoy Nick.

"Noooooo..." Nick shouted and threw back the covers to rush to the bathroom to be violently ill.

"Woops "Ella said sarcastically

"I'm going to my room" Ella got up off the bed and wondered in to her room and started unpacking.

Zoe decided to make the bed whilst she waited for Nick to come back from the bathroom.

"Mum? dad? "Savannah shouted at the top of her lungs as she walked through the door and dumped her bag in the middle of the lounge and went in search for her parents.

Savannah found Zoe in the middle of making the bed and heard her father retching in the bathroom.

"Hi Mummy, what is that noise?"Savannah asked as she looked round the room for the source.

"Hi Baby girl" Zoe opened her arms so Savannah rushed over to her mum and hugged her tight.

"How was the sleep over and did you have fun?" Zoe asked as she kissed the top of Savannahs head and let go of her to carry on making the bed.

"It was great" Savannah smiled

"What's that noise Mum?"

"Oh that's just your silly father ignore him"

"Why what has happened?"

"Dad has one of my headaches which make you sick as well "Zoe told Savannah who just nodded in return to say she understood.

Nick appeared from the bathroom looking very pale and wondered over to recently made be and laid down.

"Hi dad" Savannah said quietly

"Hi sweetie and you are the only one around here who understands that there is no need to shout unlike your mother or sister" Nick said as he eyed Zoe.

Savannah giggled and climbed on the bed and hugged her father who hugged her back and kissed the top of her head.

"Zoe can you get me resolve and some anadin please?" Nick asked knowing the answer was going to be no

"No way get it your bloody self, you have a hangover you're not dying" Zoe said as she left the room only to be followed by Savannah and a lifeless Nick.

"Ouch, who the hell left that bloody bag in the middle of the floor" Nick shouted as he tripped over Savannahs bag that lay in the middle of the room.

"oops sorry dad" Savannah said as she took the bag and ran into her room before Nick could do anything.

Nick just about got up and headed for the resolve and anadin and took them both hoping they would make him better as he was feeling rather tender and vulnerable like this which was not like him.

Nick walked over to Zoe and wrapped his arms around her as she was busy cleaning the kitchen when Ella walked in to find her parents sharing a tender moment.

"Oh please stop that, I totally did not miss these little moments when I was at Emily's and please don't do that when Emily comes round to stay its embarrassing" Ella said as Zoe and Nick turned to see Ella open the fridge and took out a sausage roll and walk away. Zoe and Nick just shook their heads and carried on.

A few moments later there was a loud scream and shouting.

"Savannah what the hell are you doing in my room, get the hell out" Ella screamed

Savannah came running into the lounge to be followed by Ella who was fuming and grabbed Savannahs long hair and pulled it which made Savannah scream and stop running.

"OI YOU 2 KNOCK IT OFF Please I have the worst headache from hell" Nick shouted which did not work as Savannah turned round and pulled Ella's hair very hard which made Ella yell in pain.

"You little cow, you're going to pay for that"

Zoe grabbed Ella to stop her from hurting her younger sister. Nick grabbed hold of Savannah who was crying her eyes out and trying to lunge at Ella. Nick took Savannah to her room to calm down whilst Zoe spoke to Ella.

"Ella Jordan, what the hell do you think you were doing yanking Savannahs hair like that?"

"But mum Savannah pulled mine a lot harder and it really hurt"

"I don't care, Go to your room and come out when you have really thought about it" Zoe ordered but Ella did not budge.

"NOW" Zoe screamed

"I hate you, you never take my side" Ella yelled as she stormed off towards her bedroom. Zoe shook her head and run her hand threw her hair as Nick appeared again in the kitchen.

"What happened did Savannah say how it started" Zoe asked

"Not really but she did say that she started it but, didn't mean to"

"How did it go with Ella any better?"

"Are joking, Ella said she hates me and I never believe her" Zoe sighed as she felt guilty and was rather hurt by what Ella said to her but she knew she didn't mean it but it still hurt.

"Come here" Nick opened his arms and wrapped his arms around Zoe in a protective manner

"You know she never meant it" Nick said as he rubbed her back to calm her down.

Eventually Zoe calmed down and laid down on the sofa which gave Nick an opportunity to speak to Ella who should have calmed down by now.

Nick knocked on her door and didn't bother to wait for a reply.

"Dad, why are you in my room" Ella asked calmly.

"I want you to apologize to your mother for what you said earlier"

"Why, Mum always takes Savannahs side when she starts things and I get the blame and I never started it" Ella whined

"I know but please do it any way for me"

"Ok whatever"

"Thank you sweetie" Nick left Ella's room and walked back into the lounge and sat down and cuddled up with Zoe.

" Mum" Zoe turned round to see Ella nervously waiting for her to answer.

"Yes"

"I just wanted to say sorry for the way I spoke to you and I know that hurt you but I was mad and I did not mean any of it" Ella said as she looked at her hands not wanting to look her mother in the eyes.
