I had this chapter ready but now taking my time for the next so be patient cause it will come!
It was a Fridaymorning, the night before had been a quiet one, Roxy had called Ronnie, before coming home, about the shirts at Stacey's stall but she had told Roxy that she would drop by Friday or Saturday and then taking Robbie with her to take a look herself, when she was feeling better. Ronnie had put Robbie to bed early since she wasn't feeling well yet and had fallen asleep on the sofa while they were having dinner. Ronnie also had turned in early cause of the night before, she needed some sleep to be fit the next day, the day they were gonna get everything packed to move to Albertsquare on Saturday, it was gonna be a busy weekend.
Robbie walked into the livingroom where Glenda just had her breakfast, she was sitting on the sofa watching the morningnews on tv.
Robbie walked over and sat next to Glenda and leaned against her.
- 'Morning darling'Glenda said surprised at what Robbie just did, she slowly put her arm around her youngest child and gave her a little cuddle. Robbie just went with it and relaxed her head on Glenda's chest, Glenda didn't know what just happened to her but she could scream inside from happiness.
- 'How are you feeling today, did you sleep alright darling?'Glenda asked stroking her hand through Robbie's hair.
- 'I slept alright but not feeling that well yet'Robbie said'I don't know if i'm going to school today mum'.
- 'Well i think you should have another day of rest at home, apparantely your body is asking for it'.
- 'Are you also staying home or what?'Robbie asked looking up to Glenda.
- 'I'm working untill lunchtime, then i'm gonna help your sisters out with packing so that we don't have to do everything at night, and we can relax in the evening'. Glenda said, she wanted to ask if Robbie wanted any breakfast or something to drink but this moment of sitting together, her baby curled up to her, it was priceless and she didn't wanna give it up already.
Thankfully Ronnie walked into the livingroom.
- 'Morning mum'she said walking up to her mother and Robbie.
- 'How are you feeling today sweetie, you slept alright i think, not much of tossing and turning like the night before'Ronnie said feeling Robbie's forehead.
- 'She's not well yet darling, i think she should stay another day at home, relax a little more and Monday is early enough to go back to school, you could call Whitney to ask for your homework right darling?'Glenda said and asking Robbie.
- 'I'm not as sick as yesterday but i'm still feeling slightly terrible, can i stay home please mummy?'Robbie said then getting up and walking up to Ronnie who just sat down on the chair, Robbie sat on her lab again putting her arms around Ronnie's neck and leaning her head on her mums shoulder, she did that always whether it was for comfort, or to bribe Ronnie into whatever she was up to, ofcourse Ronnie wasn't born yesterday and knew Robbie in and out, but she loved these moments for any reason, being a mum you hold memories of when a child is a young child or a baby and wants to be with you all the time, cuddling and all, and when puberty kicks in most teenagers get embarrassed wanna be cool and independent, so Ronnie cherished every moment she had with her baby, when she did those things Ronnie loved when Robbie was a little child and a baby, and for Robbie, now being a 15 year old teenager these moments with her mum, she just loved but she only did it when at home, not in front of her friends ofcourse.
- 'Alright you can stay home ofcourse, i think you're not really better either, but i want you to really relax, and not sit behind the computer all day or the telly alright, i mean you can watch something but i want you to take a nap this afternoon after mummy gives you your bottle yes babyboo'Ronnie joked with Robbie, holding her like she was a tiny baby again, Glenda started to laugh too, looking at Robbie who was trying to get out of Ronnie's arms.
- 'Mum be serious common, stop, i'm gonna be lying on the sofa alright, i'm not really up to internet and all, just a movie maybe this afternoon'Robbie said walking over to the sofa again.
- 'Oi if you two or done being so soppy with eachother look what your most favourite sweetest bestes sister bought you yesterday'Roxy said, she had been listening in on Robbie and Ronnie.
- 'What?'Robbie said walking up to her sister opening the bag Roxy was holding.
- 'Ooo Wow, these are so cool, and you bought these for me, really, your not joking with me are you Rox?'Robbie said, knowing Roxy it could been a joke, Roxy had done that enough times before,buying something and making Robbie crazy telling it was for her and then saying she bought it for herself.
- 'No babysis, they're both yours if you like them'Roxy said getting a hug from her babysister right away.
- 'I hope i'm better tomorrow then i can wear one of them, thanks Rox you're my fave'Robbie said.
- 'Oi she's your fave?'Ronnie said with a grin walking up to Robbie.
- 'Sister, i'm talking sister mum'Robbie said then taking her new shirts and walking to the bedroom.
- 'Alright let's have breakfast sis, mum you'd already had breakfast right?'Ronnie said.
- 'Yes i have to hurry up i don't wanna be late, and i'll be home around 1 or 2 yeah'Glenda said 'You two have something to eat and i'll see you later girls'.
- 'Alright mum, don't worry we'll see you later'Roxy said taking a zip of hr juice she just poured in a glass.

Later that day Ronnie was packing her stuff in the bedroom, Robbie was in bed sleeping, she had been up all day and Ronnie saw she was getting tired, instead of sleeping on the sofa she told Robbie to hop into the bed, simply to get her rest and because of a hyper Amy and Roxy who where chatting away in the livingroom.
- "Ron do you know when Phill is gonna go over to the Vic tomorrow?'Roxy had come in quietly and asked soflty.
- 'Don't know Rox maybe in the afternoon, i mean we don't have to get up at the crack of dawn now do we'Ronnie said folding some of Robbie's clothes.
- 'I just hope it's this move and then we'll be living there for a while'Roxy said smacking her lips while chewing on a piece of gum.
- 'Close your mouth Rox please, how old are you 12?'Ronnie said putting the clothes into a suitcase.

At dinnertime Ronnie was cooking while Roxy was feeding Amy, Glenda was packing her stuff all together before Amy went to bed and Robbie was watching the telly lying under a fleeceblanket to keep warm. She was making a textmessage under the blanket to send to Whitney and ZsaZsa that tomorrow she would be moving but at the end of the day, early evening she would be available, she would just say that she was gonna be over at Whit's for the evening which was gonna be a coverup cause they would be having a little party at the park, alcohol included.
- 'What have you got there?' Roxy asked noticing her sister kept looking down instead of at the telly.
- 'What do you mean'Robbie said stalling Roxy who was always so very nosy.
- 'You think i'm stupid or what? Roxy asked giving Amy another spoon of applesauce.
- 'Eh yeah' Robbie said smiling, this was an easy one.
- 'Wanna keep those shirts?'Roxy asked looking serious.
- Ís that the most serious face you can pull Rox, oh my god Ames gonna have a laugh when she's older, you pretending to be strict, she's gonna piss her pants with a look like that'Robbie loved taking the mick out of her sisters.
- 'Want me to come over and wanna let you feel how serious i am looking Robbie!'Roxy said getting irritated always very easy when things weren't going her way.
- 'Alright Robbie why don't you come here and wash up, dinner is about ready'Ronnie said knowing where this was gonna end.
- 'You are lucky dinner is ready'Roxy said wiping Amy's face and standing up.
Robbie not really quick intimitated by Roxy walked over to her and put her arms around Roxy then gave her a kiss.
- 'You're the bestes sister Rox!' Robbie said then walking up to the sink to wash her hands.
- 'You're such a charmer'Roxy said 'You're not gonna get away with that everytime you know'.
- 'As long as it works on you Rox'Ronnie said smiling putting a pan with pasta on the table.
- 'Mum!'Ronnie called'Mum dinners ready!'.
Glenda came walking out of the bedroom back to the livingroom.
- 'Well i think i have most of it'Glenda said washing her hands. Ronnie got some drinks out of the fridge. Roxy gave Amy a little babybook to play with while they were gonna have dinner. Robbie's phone went of so she walked to the sofa to see who it was.
- 'Robbie leave the phone, you're gonna have dinner first'Ronnie said while serving pasta to Robbie's plate.
- 'Yeah but it's…'Robbie said wanting to pick it up but the look of Ronnie's face told her to better leave the phone and get back on her chair.
- 'They'll call you back if it's important yeah'Ronnie said serving Glenda.
- 'Thanks darling it smells very good'Glenda said.
- 'Do you want some salad with it mum?''Roxy asked her mother.
- 'Yes please'Glenda said handing Roxy her plate.
- 'Robbie?'Roxy asked also her sister if she wanted any salad, but Robbie was looking grumpy at her plate, not eating, just tapping with her fork.
- 'Is there a problem Robbie?'Ronnie asked although she knew it was ofcourse about the phonecall, but that was Ronnie, strict, and not just about dinner, she just hated it talking on the phone while eating dinner, any form of eating together like breakfast and lunch, and not just from Robbie, from anybody.
- 'No' Robbie said softly not looking up to Ronnie's face cause she knew how it would look like.
- 'Then sit up straight and and start eating alright, don't act like a baby or i'll put you in your nieces highchair with that kinda behaviour!'Ronnie said in her calm but strict way.
- 'So salad then babysis' Roxy said trying again.
- 'No i don't want any'Robbie said, her mood had suddenly changed, she hated the fact that Ronnie could be so strict one moment and cuddling her and all the next. It reminded her sometimes of her father, although his way of being strict was only to tell you who was in charge, with Ronnie it was part of her 'raising up a teenager' which wasn't so easy with loudmouth Mitchells.
Ronnie sighed, then put her fork down.
- 'Are you gonna eat or what?'Ronnie said again in her calm strict way 'cause if not you can have your moody moment in the bedroom, do you understand Robbie!'.
- 'Darling, your sister made this lovely pasta, really it's delicious, here have a bite'Glenda said trying to ease the sudden tension that had raised at the table.
- 'I…don't…wannit'Robbie said also in a slow calm way.
- 'Oh you're missing out on something darling'Glenda said again waving her fork in front of Robbie's face.
- 'Mum please don't' Ronnie said but it was already to late Robbie pushed the fork away making the food on it fall onto the floor.
- 'Alright that was dinner for you then Robbie Mitchell'Ronnie said standing up walking over and grabbing Robbie's arm and dragging her out of the room in to the bedroom.
- 'Like i said you can stay in here untill you are in a better mood and you remember how to behave yourself little one!'Ronnie said knowing this was what Robbie hated when they called her the "little one".
Ronnie left the room and Robbie, angry ofcourse, threw a shoe, that was lying around, at the door.
- 'What was that all about?'Roxy asked Ronnie as she came back from the bedroom 'all about the phone?'
- 'It's a bit of Roxy behaviour, pouting when you don't get what you want'Ronnie said taking another bite of her pasta.
- 'Is she gonna be alright, i mean she hasn't eaten anything'Glenda asked being worried.
- 'It's allright mum, she's hotheaded like all the Mitchells are, she just needs to calm down and she'll be like pudding in my hand later'Ronnie said smiling at her mum.
- 'Yeah if you're lucky'Roxy said standing up and putting her plate in the sink.
- 'Did i tell you you could leave the table then?' Ronnie said trying not to laugh.
- 'Don't push it Ron' Roxy said walking over to the bedroom to see how her sister was doing.
Roxy walked in without knocking at the door. Robbie was lying on the bed listening to the radio of the alarmclock since her ipod was in the livingroom and she knew coming out the bedroom to get it would only get her in more trouble with Ronnie. Roxy sat down on the bed and starred at Robbie.
- 'What?' Robbie said looking arrogant at her sister.
- 'You can take that arrogant look of your face, you hear me!'Roxy said looking serious again. Robbie started laughing again.
- 'Serious Rox, really you make me laugh i told you before, you crack me up with that look'Robbie said laughing on the bed. Roxy didn't smile.
- 'Do you want me to help you out or what?'Roxy asked again giving Robbie a little slap, trying to be serious with her babysister 'or do you wanna stay in here for a while cause you know you can yeah'.
- 'Sorry'Robbie said rolling over to Roxy who then lay next to her.
- 'Is this all about that phonecall?'Roxy said turning on her side facing Robbie.
- 'Do you know how it goes when having dinner at Whitney's, they're all screaming, it's a madhouse, and Ronnie goes mental over one phonecall'Robbie said.
- 'Ronnie goes mental?'Roxy said 'I think you just did'.
- 'She reminds me of dad when she acts like that, she's such a controlfreak'Robbie said.
- 'Oi! Do not compare Ronnie to dad yeah, ...never... do you hear me, Ronnie does it because she loves you so very much and you know that she does, and she wants you to be a well behaved person, and dad did it…well not for your best interest baby'Roxy said 'Do you have any idea how difficult it has been for her to raise me, a loudmouth teen like you, and a little baby, i hope and i really mean that, i hope i can raise Amy the same way she did us you know'.
- 'Yeah but..'Robbie wanted to say.
- 'No buts Robbie, you just being a spoilt brat at this moment, she does everything for you, you get what ever you want and you go mental over a phonecall you can't answer, i mean if it was Whitney, she knows that your probably were having dinner, she will call back or text you, just grow up yeah, now i want you to go in there and apoligise to her for you behaviour at dinner, and that you're sorry you haven't tasted it cause it was really good!'Roxy said sitting up and then sitting on Robbie.
- 'Rox noooo please get you fat ass of my stomach it hurts!'Robbie said.
- 'Don't be a such crybaby Robbie'Roxy said having a laugh at her sister trying to get away from under her.
- 'Rox please, i love you, your my bestes sister!'Robbie begged her sister.
Roxy then got off of Robbie 'are you gonna apoligise?'.
- 'Yeah'Robbie said and they got off of the bed and walked out of the bedroom to the livingroom. Glenda was doing the dishes since Ronnie had cooked dinner. Ronnie sat on the sofa watching the telly.
- 'Go on' Roxy said pushing Robbie towards Ronnie while she was gonna help out her mum with the dishes.
Robbie walked over and stood near the sofa but Ronnie didn't look up, she knew why Robbie stood there ofcourse but she wanted Robbie to make a little bit of effort and make the first move.
- 'Mum'Robbie said softly making Ronnie look up to her with a serious face.
- 'What?' Ronnie asked still looking at Robbie trying to find the words to tell her mum she was sorry for her behaviour at dinner.
- 'I'm sorry about before'Robbie said sitting at the armrest of the sofa.
- 'And your mood has changed then?'Ronnie asked again.
- 'Yeah i'm alright' Robbie said.
- 'That's not what i asked, are you in a better mood then before, cause you know i don't like you being in that spoilt brat mood of yours, thinking you always get your way with me, and if you don't, you act like that, like a little child holding a tantrum!'Ronnie said crossing her arms over her chest.
- 'Yes mum'Robbie said, already getting tired of Ronnie's lectures.
- 'Alright come here you' Ronnie said spreading her arms wide to let Robbie come sit with her'Robbie fell into Ronnie's arms, this was the only thing she always liked about fights with her mum, them making up with cuddles.
They all made a relaxing evening of it, they were gonna watch a movie together and then after some more talking, Robbie falling asleep ofcourse in the meantime, they all went to bed for the last time living on Georgestreet.
