"Alex walked into the shop clutching Amy's Hand, They walked over to shelve containing the Baby accessories and realised even the cheapest nappes were more expensive than the one pound twenty she had taken from her money box. Alex looked down at Amy who looked back up at Alex obviously starting to feel very uncomfortable, Alex sighed.
"Are you two girls ok" Patrick said smiling over at the girls.
"Umm We need nappies for Amy but we haven't got enough Money" Alex said feeling her cheeks going red out of embarrisment.
"Oh, I see" Patrick said looking down at Amy" Well I don't ussally suggest this, but Why don't you take some nappies, and get Roxy to pop the Money around later, or even better, that lovely mother of yours could pop it around" Patrick said with a wide grin on his face.
"Thank-you" Alex said chosing the right size of nappie and quickley leading Amy out of the shop. "Come on Amy, Patrick is very kind but I don't want him as a step Dad" Alex said shaking her head while lobbing her tounge out at Amy, Amy imitated Alex actions and both girls giggled as they walked back towards the flat. Just befor Amy and Alex walked around the cornre Roxy shot out of the flat like a bullet and ran across the gardens. Alex and Amy made there way home and returnd saftley to the flat.
In the prison waiting room, Glenda sat nervously as she waited to see Alexandra's real father, a man she had feared for the past 13 years. Glenda eyes widened as she saw Clive Mitchell appoach her, She sat as still as she could and tryed to look as cool as she could as the man reached the table pulled a chair back and sat down, while staring stieght into Glenda's eyes. The pair sat silent for a few Moments which seemed like a long time to Glenda, when eventually Clive Spoke.
"So how is my girl, I hope you are looking after her"
"She is fine, and of cause I am looking after her, I am her mother" Glenda said reaching into her bag and pulling out a resent picture of Alex taken at Ronnie's wedding, and handing it to Clive. "I brought this for you, I thought you might like a recent one"
Clive stared at Alexanhdra's smiling face on the Photograph, "She looks happy"
"Yeah she is" Glenda said looking at Clive not sure if he was pleased that Alex had settled into life with Glenda or annoyed, "She misses you, of cause"
"Does she" Clive said looking up from the Photograph, and looking Glenda up and down, Noticing how well dressed Glenda was, "The payments I make, I trust they benifit Alex and no one else"
"Yes of cause, everypenny is spent on Alex" Glenda answered quickley obvisly affend at what Clive was insinuating.
Back the sqaure Roxy was wondering around like a headless chicken, trying to thing of places Alex might have took Amy, all the time stating under her breath that she was going to kill Alex.
Back at the Flat Alex was changing Amy's nappie, "Oh my god Amy, what have you been eating" Alex said as she almost fell backwards with the smell, "I think its about time Roxy got you potty trained" Alex reluctley cleaned her niece up and put her in a clean nappie. She then put Amys thousers back on got rid of the rubbish and turned on the Tv, glancing at the clock and wondering what was keeping Roxy.
"So this picture was it taken at a wedding" Clive asked looking across at Glenda.
"Yes it was at Veronica's wedding" Glenda said hoping Clive wasn't thinking that his money had paid for the wedding.
"And how are Pinky and perky" Clive asked.
"Please don't refur to my girls like that, They are Alexandra's sisters and she loves having them around" Glenda replyed obviously hurt by Clives remark.
"And that no good son of yours" Clive had never liked Danny.
"Daniel isn't around, Look Clive whats this all about" Glenda asked in a timid voice.
"I want to make sure she doesn't turn out like them" Clive said in a patronizing voice, "A Gym slip Mum, a wild child and a thug, I want to make sure that you are giving my princess a better start in life, than you gave her your other three, misfits"
Roxy was begining to really panic, she was going to check the playground for the third time, when she noticed liam and Tiffany playing on the swings.
"Hey, hey Liam" Roxy yelled running towards the young brother and Sister, "I can't find Alex, have you seen her"
"Maybe she's with her new boyfriend" Liam snapped at Roxy.
"What boyfriend" Roxy said thinking that Alex had taken Amy with her to meet some boy.
"Have you tried Alex's Mobile phone" Tiffany said looking up at the panicky Roxy.
"Her mobile" Roxy said "Why didn't I think of that" Roxy reached into her pocket and realised that she had left her phone back at home and started to run back to the flat.
Inside Alex was sat on the floor, Amy was sat next to Alex's watching Tv. Roxy came running up the stairs like a rocket, And paused still as she reached the living room and saw both girls sat their.
Alex turned her head and looked at her sister "Where have you been, you have been gone ages" Alex said unaware of the misunderstanding that had taken place.
"Where have I been, for god sake Alex, I have been looking for you" Roxy said with her voice getting louder with every word. "Where the hell have you been"
"I have been here, looking after Amy" Alex said confused why her sister was yelling at her.
"I came back and the flat was empty, now where did you take my baby" Roxy shouted at Alex which made Amy Start crying.
"Oh, there were no nappie's and Amy needed changing, so we went to the shops, Patrick said you can take the money around later" Alex saidd very matter of factley to Roxy.
"I told you to stay here with Amy, I was only gone five minutes, She could have waited until I got back" Roxy said still raving and Amy by this time was screaming"
Alex stood up "She stunk, and we didn't know how long you would be" Alex said starting to get worried as Roxy got more and more Angry.
"Its no excuse, Don't you ever go near my baby again, do you here me" Roxy said screaming so she could heard over Amy's screams.
"We live in the same house" Alex said confused at Roxy's statment.
"You stay away from her" Roxy screamed again. Just as Glenda came up the stairs. "What on earth is going on, Alex what have you done now" Glenda said looking at her daughter.
"I hate living here" Alex ran past her Mother and into her bedroom, she loved spending time with Amy and Roxy's words had broke her heart. Alex sat on her bed and tears began to fall down her cheeks.
In the living room Roxy had conplained to Glenda about what had happened.
"You shouldn't have left a twelve year old looking after a two year old, It was your fault Roxanne, Glenda said sitting down at the dining room table and looking stressed.
"Yeah well that little brat shouldn't have taken Amy out" Roxy snapped back.
"Well it might not be an issue for much longer" Glenda said looking at Roxy.
"Why, whats the matter" Roxy noticed how upset and stressed Glenda looked.
"Things got a bit heated at the prison visit, Clive said a few thigs I didn't like, and I reacted. And well he didn't like my reaction, so... well he said he didn't want me bringing up his daughter, he as a friend down in kent, And he said he is going to ask them to take Alex... he is going to have her taken away from me Roxy, again.
Roxy looked at her Mother open mouthed. "He can't do that Mum"
"Oh believe me he is a Mitchell, He can do anything he wants" Glenda said putting her head in her hands.
