Later that day Ronnie and Roxy were working behind the bar in the Vic.
Glenda was sitting at the bar drinking some juice.
- 'So do you want me to help out with something girls'
- 'That's allright mum'Roxy said 'i got Tracey and auntie Peg doing a shift later on, when she comes back from auntie Sal'
- Excuse me and where are you off to then? Ronnie asked.
- I'm going out with Christian' Roxy said putting on a guilty face.
- And are you taking Amy with you then ey?' Ronnie said pulling one eyebrow up.
- Ehm well i thought that maybe you could…' Roxy said' i mean if it's no problem?'.
- Well you could have properly asked me first, i mean i love to,she's a little joy, but ask me first allright, i hate it when you think for me, like i have nothing to do or something Rox'Ronnie said giving her sister a little slap on the arm.
- You know maybe i can help out with Amy' Glenda said.
- That's allright mum, Ronnie will do fine'Roxy said walking away to another customer.
- It's fine mum, we'll watch her together allright' Ronnie said 'oh mum could you do me a favour then maybe'
- Sure darling anything' Glenda said.
- We're out of bread, could you pop over to the market and get some? Ronnie asked.
- Yeah ofcourse, i'll get some groceries, i'll be back in a bit' Glenda said.
- Thanks mum'Ronnie said.
Glenda hopped of the barstool and walked out of the Vic.
Ronnie walked over to Roxy.
- She's trying you know' Ronnie said.
- Yeah after almost 17 years, where has she been all these years Ron, can't believe you forget over one night of sleep' Roxy said.
- No ofcourse not but she's here now allright, and think of Robbie, give them some time to get to know eachother' Ronnie said.
- Yeah untill she leaves us again' Roxy said'just don't want my babysister to go through what we did, allthough she isn't really gonna loose her mum now is she' and roled her eyes and started washing the glasses.
Ronnie knew Roxy had different feelings about their mum being out of their lives, she allways been daddy's little girl and got all the attention, but Ronnie had allways missed the relationship she had with her mum.
With Glenda leaving them, Ronnie became a teenagemum to Robbie, she was just a baby and needed all the attention she could get. Robbie was the distraction Ronnie needed at that time, being so busy with her new motherrole made her forget about missing her mum a little. And now that she was back maybe, well maybe they could become close again, allthough she was still a bit cautious about her, it had been so long.
When Glenda walked outside she decided not to go to the market straight away but take a little walk around Walford, getting to know her way around the neighbourhood.
When she had been walking around she walked into the park.
As she was walking up to a table to sit down at ,for a minute, she saw a familiar face at the beveragesstand. She walked up to two girls standing there buying some drinks.
- Hiya darling'Glenda said.
Robbie who was just taking a zip of her drink turned around.
- Hey.., ehm Whit you remember Glenda my ehm..mother'Robbie said.(Whithney was still in school and Stacey still worked on the stall ;)).
- Yeah hi Mrs Mitchell nice to see you back in Walford again'Whitney said.
- So are you two done with school then?'Glenda asked curious.
- Yeah we're just hanging around here having some crisps before we go home, it's…it's nice out'Robbie said 'so what are you doing here then?'
- Well Ronnie asked if i could get some groceries but i wanted to walk around the neighbourhood first, so now you two can walk back home with me and get the groceries for tonights dinner i'm preparing' Glenda said.
- Well we we're just going to stay here for a while 'Robbie said.
- I think you both have homework to do also, so common let's go!'Glenda said taking charge.
- Oh my god ít's Ronnie in an old version' Robbie whispered to Withney who started smiling.
- What's that darling? Glenda said.
- I said that that we were done here anyways'Robbie said giving Whitney a grin.
There was no further argument and the girls both walked home with Glenda.
