Thanks again for the lovely reviews Dare to dream 111 and LouieJanes, keep reading and reviewing and i will keep writing!
Robbie was on her way to pick up Whitney to go to school, arriving at Pat's, Peter Lauren and Lucy were already waiting.
- 'Morning peeps, where's Abs? 'Robbie asked. The friends greeted Robbie.
- 'She's sick, we went out for dinner last night, Dad, Vanessa and me' Lauren said 'She probably ate something that her stomach didn't agree with, Vanessa was up all night with her'.
- 'Ah thats to bad, hope she feels better soon'Robbie said looking through the mailbox - 'Whit were all wating on you what are you doing in there?'
The door opened and Carol stood there looking at Robbie.
- 'Oi we're not def you know Robbie Mitchell, she's almost done alright'Carol said'By the way, did your mum say anything about working at the bookies?'.
- 'You know Ronnie already works at the club and the Vic, i don't think she can fit the Bookie's in to be honest' Robbie said serious.
Carol started laughing 'I mend Glenda darling'
- 'Oh ok'Robbie said a bit surprised.
- 'i will give her call then later' Carol said padding Robbie on her shoulder then walking back in again.
Robbie just smiled, having had Ronnie be her mum all her life was now a bit confusing with everybody refering to Glenda as her mum. Robbie then walked to where the others were when ZsaZsa, Jay and Leon had joined too.
- 'Heard you'll be moving into nr 27 anyday now?'ZsaZsa whispered to Robbie.
- 'I don't know Zsa, they've been talking about it, think it's a done deal cause we're all stuck up at Georgestreet now, and you all will move into the Vic then with that little snake of a cousin of mine?'
- 'Yeah, i'm glad though Robbie, i've moved around so many times these last few months'Jay said.
- 'Yeah well good luck with crybaby' Robbie smiled. Then Whitney finally came out.
- 'Whit babygirl, you finally ready to come see me today'Fatboy said with his 'flattering' ways of talking.
- 'Common you big mouths we're gonna be late'Lucy said taking the lead to finally all get to school on time.
- 'So is it gonna be a full day today or what?' Whitney asked Robbie.
- 'Oh you'll be stupid to bunk off again anyways we wanna have a little gatering this week, so you can't affort to skip classes RoRo, hopefully we move to the Vic this week and maybe score some refreshments if you know what i mean !'ZsaZsa said putting her arm around Robbie, Zsa Leon Fats Peter Lauren and Lucy were older and so a class higher then Robbie and Whitney, Robbie looked up to Zsa cause she wouldn't let anybody tell her how to act, dress or anything, and the fact that her cousin Phil was seeing Shirley made Zsa a little closer to Robbie, when auntie Peg would do a familydinner, like probably this week, making up for her throwing them out, they would see eachother, same as Jay, who was like a little brother to her.
- 'Good luck on that, auntie Peg is like a hawk she sees everything, now with Roxy it's a different story, she's to busy looking good for the punters'Robbie said getting some ideas that if she would get caught her bum was gonna put up a sign that it would be out of order till would be grounded for was that gonna stop her?

Ronnie was sitting behind her desk at the club when Jack came in.
- 'You're late, i mean i thought you was gonna be here when i came in'Ronnie said looking up from the computer.
- 'Yeah well i ran into your mum and Amy at the cafe, i stayed for a coffee and brought you one'Jack said putting down the cup with coffee on Ronnie's desk.
- 'Ah thanks Jack that's sweet of you to think of me'Ronnie said.
- 'I always think of you, speaking of that ehm, i was thinking, you know about you all moving into nr 27 and…' Jack said.
- 'Yeah i think it's the most sensible thing to do, we're all packed together now, i mean it's alright but not forever, and i don't see mum moving or Rox and Amy'Ronnie said.
- 'And you and Robbie?'Jack asked.
- 'Well it's big enough for us ofcourse, but having Rox around and Amy is something i want for her she's so used to having them around all the time, i mean if she's old enough to choose for herself to live somewhere else, you know like when she's 40 'Ronnie laughed 'you know then it's her own choice so for now we probably gonna move to nr 27, just have to wait till Phil and Shirley move to the Vic, then we can move in, maybe the end of the week or so'.
- 'What i mend was…why don't you two move in with me, i mean i have the spareroom for Robbie, she can do whatever she wants with it' Jack said looking at Ronnie who looked surprised never seeing this offer coming, not now.
- 'I ..i don't know Jack, i really have to think about it, i mean i wanna be with you, no doubt about that, but i wanna move into 27 first then we could spent more time together and then we'll see, i mean i don't know about Robbie ofcourse, but i want her to want it too, i can't leave her there and move in with you, she has to want it too alright'.Ronnie said scratching her head then walking upt to Jack putting her arms around him and giving him a kiss.
- 'I love you do you know that' Ronnie said.
- Í love you too Ron, take your time, and we'll be closer now that's already something right?'Jack said holding his arms around Ronnie giving Ronnie a loving smile.

Meanwhile Roxy was cleaning the bar at the Vic, it was not really busy with punters so she had some time on her hand since Tracy was also working today.
- 'Roxy darling'Someone said. Roxy turned around and saw aunty Peggy standing there.
- 'Hi auntie Peg, i'm just doing my shift alright, i'm not letting you down'Roxy said turning back to the bar.
- 'Can we talk?'Peggy said pointing to the hallway.
- 'Trace could you cover for me?'Roxy asked Tracy.
- 'Sure, no problem'Tracy said while Roxy followed auntie Peggie to the hallway.
- 'First i wanna say sorry for making it seem like i threw you all out'Peggy started.
- 'Making it seem?'Roxy asked annoyed 'we're not living here anymore, we never saw this coming, not from you auntie Peg, i thought we mend something to you'.
- 'But you do and..'auntie Peggy stopped when the door opened and Ronnie walked in.
- 'Ronnie?'Roxy said 'what are you doing here?'
- 'I wanted to tell you we will move into 27 when Phill and the rest move back in here, it make sense, we can't stay at Georgestreet with all of us'Ronnie said looking at Peggy.
- 'See it will all work out'Peggy smiled.
- 'Work out, not so fast Peggy, this is not how i imagined moving away from here, i mean you were like a mum to us, taking us in, and now you want us to leave, i don't understand' Ronnie said. Peggy put her arm around Ronnie.
- 'Listen, i do love you girls as if you are my own, and you are in a way, but you Ronnie, you're like my most adolescent daughter and i know you will be alright, i mean Sam
well you know she still needs my guidance, and i've seen how you did so well with Roxy and Robbie, darling do you understand?'
- 'Hmm well now that you explain it a bit, yes, and Robbie and me were just here for Roxy because of mum, to be honest, i know you two aren't ying and yang, it was just the timing, you know, you came home and we were out, i mean it felt like that'.
- 'I'm sorry for that, i honestly am, i just didn't wanted the tension in the house with me and Glenda and the girls and Sam, that's why, and now you'll be just across the street you know, and í always be here remember that!'.
- 'Adolescent…Ronnie?'Roxy said rolling her eyes at her sister who just smiled back at her.
- 'I tell you what, why don't i make a familydinner for all of us, you know just our family all together for tomorrow night, whatta you think?' Peggy said.
- 'Everyone?'Ronnie asked 'cause i'm also bringing Jack you know'Ronnie asked.
- 'Well you know what, we will close tomorrow at 7 and then we'll do it downstairs, you know Phill will bring Shirley and ZsaZsa, and then there's Billy and Jay, Sam, Roxy and Amy, Glenda, you Robbie and Jack then'Peggy said.
- 'Allright, ehm i gotta go back to the club, auntie Peg, do you know when Phill is planning to move in here?'Ronnie aksed.
- 'Oh you have to aks him , i really don't know yet, this week anyway'Peggy said.
- 'Alright then, i'll see you tomorrow afternoon when i have my shift yeah, i'll help you out getting things ready ok'Ronnie said giving Peggy a kiss on the cheek''I'll see you tonight Rox'.
