It was a bright and sunny Saturday Morning in Albert Square and Glenda was on her way back from the minute Mart as she opened her front door to let herself into her flat Ronnie was just leaving her flat ready to go for a jog.
"She Still here then" Ronnie said pointing to the box of Coco pops Glenda was carrying.
"Yeah Chocolate cereal isn't my thing but if that what she wants"
"Have you got a minute Mum" Ronnie asked as she opened her flat door and urged Glenda inside.
I know what you and Roxy must be thinking. Glenda said as she walked into Ronnie's Kitchen clutching on to the cereal box.
"Do you" Ronnie snapped "Do you really Mum, How old she when you walked out on her"
I didn't her Father took her away from me" Glenda said in self pitying way.
"What I don't understand is why Danny Never mentioned her" Ronnie continued question her Mother.
"Well he wouldn't have would he" Glenda rsponed without thinking "I mean he was always so jealous of her, He hated her in fact, You see her Dad he was always so protective of her and she was so spoilt by me and her Dad"
"Has she got the same Father as Danny" Ronnie Asked,
"No no of cause not Daniels Father was long gone before Alexandra's Father came on the scene" Glenda said trying not to give anything away.
"So how olds Alexandra" Ronnie asked.
"She is twelve" Glenda said trying not to meet Ronnie's eyes.
"Twelve" Just a little younger them me, When you let Dad..." Ronnie paused looking away.
Glenda took a deep breath and said "I have told you that I am Sorry for the past"
Ronnie Looked back at her Mother and coldley said "And I have told you, You don't get to apologize not for any of it"
Later that Morning up in Glenda's flat Alex was sat at the table and was finishing her bowl of Cereal.
"You polished those off, hasn't your Father been feeding you" Glenda said sitting next to her Daughter.
Alex smiled at her Mother.
"Maybe later you could call around the Salon and apologize for yesterdays Misunderstanding"
"No way, I didn't do anything, It was that loud mouthed Chav" Alexandra snapped at her Mother.
Glenda looked at her Daughter "Darling, Veronica and Roxanne are your Sister and you will do well to stay on the right side of them"
"Its to late for that, and Anyway Dad couldn't stand Archie so I don't think he'll want me around his spurn will he" Alex spoke to her mother in a very disrespectful and resentful tone.
"Well your father is in posistion to comment is he, Glenda began to scold her Daughter, "And don't you ever talk about my girls in that manner again"
"Your Girls you haven't bothered with them for years, Dad always Said..."
"I don't give a dam what your father thinks" Glenda cut Alexandra off in mid sentence and spoke in a raised voice, "You listen to me Little Madam and you listen good, I am not going to put up with the spoilt little Daddie's girl act, From now on you will be following my rules, And you won't mention your Father's name especially not in front of Veronica or Roxanne, I do not want them to know who he is, do you hear me"
"Want to hide your dirty little secret, do you Mum" Alexandra stood up and walked into her bedroom and slammed the door.
"She looks like you Ron " Jack said as Ronnie was washing the dishes.
"Who Alexandra, Yeah I guess she does, I was taller at her age"
"Yeah well your still a long pod now" Jack said putting his arms around Ronnie.
"Dark horse that Mother of yours" Jack smiled at Ronnie who just sighed.
"I don't know, I just don't want her to mess up another life, I mean here she with a young daughter yet, It doesn't seem fair, Not when I think of what I missed out on with Danielle, But here is Mum again she as already screwed up me Roxy and Danny, Whats gonna happen to Alex"
"Its not your problem Ronnie, We are going to have out own little one to worry about soon" Jack said touching Ronnie's tummy.
