Thanks for all the lovely reviews i keep getting, means really a whole lot!
Ok enjoy my little loveys ;D xxx
Jack, Ronnie, who was holding little Amy, and Robbie walked into the house on nr 27.
- 'Alright you can go straight upstairs Robbie, brush your teeth and off to bed'Ronnie said leading Robbie to the stairs, then Ronnie walked into the livingroom and sat down with Amy.
- 'Mum i..' Robbie said while looking at Ronnie walking into the livingroom, avoiding Jack looking at here.
- 'Didn't you hear what you mother just said Robbie, think you said enough for today alright, now go on, up to bed!'Jack said strict.
Robbie looked at Jack but didn't say anything more, then she walked up the stairs.
Jack watched as Robbie got upstairs then joined Ronnie and Amy in the livingroom.
- 'I'm sorry about this Jack'Ronnie said looking at Amy who was yawning and rubbing her eyes, it was already really late for her.
- 'It's alright, i mean besides her sneaking of outside, it's her big mouth that keeps getting herself in trouble everytime 'Jack said.
- 'Ehm excuse me but don't forget your sister in this Jack, don't leave her out of it, has there ever been a day when she says something positive, something nice, or did you ever have heard her laugh really out loud?'Ronnie said being a bit ticked off that Jack only blamed Robbie for her behaviour.
- 'I didn't mean it like that Ron, i mean they're both very mouthy, always want the last word i guess'Jack said smiled a bit 'it was a bit heavy to carry a rock around all day'i almost choked on my meat when she said that, got to admit she's a challenge for Carol with her smartass talk, smartmouth'.
Ronnie grinned a bit too 'Yeah a smartmouth, that she is indeed, but she doesn't know when to stop now does she, and Carol does the same going on and on'.
- 'Yeah you know Carol, she bites and doesn't let go, and she's very judgemental at times but she's my sister and i just had to step in'Jack said sitting down on the sofa.
- 'Yeah, i was proud of you...dad!'Ronnie smiled 'Robbie was out of line, i admit that, and sneaking of outside, oh my god did you see mum go off at her about Peter'Ronnie said laughing when thinking about it again.
- 'Well Ron, you didn't see what i saw, she was sitting on his lap, her head in his neck, she's a 15 year old girl, and he's a 16 year old boy, with a body full of racing hormones, if you know what i mean'.
- 'Oh'Ronnie said' i'll have a word with her about that, just don't tell mum what you saw please, or Robbie will never hear the end of it'.
Jack notted 'Maybe take this one to bed ey'Jack said pointing at Amy who hardly could keep her eyes open.
- 'Ah come here sweetie, auntie Ronnie's gonna take you up to bed yeah'Ronnie said giving her niece a kiss on the head.
- 'So you're staying here tonight.."daddy"?'Ronnie asked Jack letting him kiss Amy goodnight.
- 'Well i really have to do my place Ron and i wanna do it before going to the club so maybe if i stay at my place and get up early i…'.
- 'Go home tomorrow night then, i mean if you're not here tomorrow at breakfast Robbie's definitely gonna think you're really angry at her or something, she's very sensitive about when it comes to your judgement about her you know' Ronnie said.
- 'And how about you mummy how are you feeling if i'm not there tonight?'Jack asked with a sneeky smile.
- 'Oh i'll be out like a light as soon as i touch my pillow'Ronnie said laughing taking the mick out of Jack.
- 'Alright now go on and take her upstairs'Jack said smiling giving Amy another kiss and then giving Ronnie also one.
Ronnie went up and still saw light coming from Robbie's room. She walked straight to Roxy and Amy's room first. She changed Amy and then soothed her a little while sitting with her and then she put her to bed. When she softly closed the bedroomdoor she walked over to Robbie's room where the lights were off now. She slowly walked in and sat next to the bed.
- 'I know you're not a sleep yet babe'she said soothing Robbie's back'Smartmouth you are!'
- 'Goodnight mum'Robbie said not even looking at Ronnie.
- 'Robbie, you know you're big mouth was the problem tonight, that's not the first time it got you in trouble now did it, and sneaking of outside, and what made you think you could get away with that?'Ronnie said.
- 'Just on the stairs mum, it's like being in somebodies garden'Robbie said turning to Ronnie.
- 'See this is what i mean always your mouth talking smart or always wanting to have the last word'Ronnie said looking serious at Robbie.
Robbie had a cheeky smile and then it made Ronnie smile too.
- 'I'm just being me mum'Robbie said fidgetting with Ronnie's hair.
- 'Yeah just keep your little gob shut now and go to sleep'Ronnie said.
- 'Jack was angry with me now wasn't he?'Robbie asked Ronnie while Ronnie tucked her in.
- 'Carol is no saint either ofcourse, but you can't always talk to older people like that sweetheart, you show some respect and don't talk back everytime wanting to have the last word'Ronnie said.
- 'Ignoring it you mean, forget it mum, i'm not gonna swallow everything, she thinks she knows everything'Robbie said.
- 'Look who's talking,anyway Jack just had to cut in, if he hadn't done it i would've'Ronnie said 'now you go to sleep babe alright'.
- 'Mum could you tickle my back please, you know like you always use to do when i was little'Robbie said already turning onto her stomach.
- 'You still are my little lovey'Ronnie said giggling. Robbie gave her a little pinch in the nose.
Ronnie then put Robbie's shirt a little up and softly stroked her fingers on Robbie's back. Ronnie smiled, she knew how to make Robbie feel secure and protected. It were some of the ways to make Robbie forget bad things when she was younger, things that happened during the day whether it was at school or at home with Archie, or when she was nervous about something. Ronnie knew that Jack telling Robbie off tonight had made some impact on her, Carol could scream or do whatever but Jack was something else. It would always soothed her and make her fall asleep easily. She never felt to old for it whenever she was alone with Ronnie.
After a couple minutes Ronnie put Robbie's shirt back down and put the covers back tucked her in and gave her a kiss, then she got up and walked out of the room, closed the door slowly and went back downstairs to Jack, who had fallen asleep on the sofa. She quietly sat down next to him and put Jacks arm around her she then softly lay her head down on his chest. A few minutes later on, she also had fallen asleep.
The next morning Ronnie was already busy in the kitchen making breakfast, she was making little pancakes. Last night she had woken up on the sofa when Roxy and Glenda had come home, they both were a little drunk and Ronnie had woken up Jack to take her sister and mum all up together.
- 'Morning mummy'Robbie said walking up to Ronnie and putting her arms around her mum'i feel tired but i just couldn't sleep anymore cause of that darn alarm went off'.
- 'Come here sweetie'Ronnie said lifting Robbie up and cuddling with her like she was still a small child, Robbie put her head in Ronnie's neck and Ronnie soothed her back.
For a couple minutes they stood there.
These were the moments Ronnie enjoyed so much, Robbie absolutely quiet and cuddly wanting to just be held and soothed by her mum.
- 'So is this how you had your head in Peters neck'Ronnie then said giggling.
Immediately Robbie looked up at Ronnie and wanted to stand on her own feet again.
- 'Mum!'Robbie said'Did Jack tell you that? '
- 'Yes he did and he was quite worried about the way you were sitting on Peters lab and getting really close with him'Ronnie said taking advantage of them being just the only ones in the kitchen.
- 'It's Peter mum, don't have to be afraid of him'Robbie said sitting down on a barstool.
- 'I'm not afraid of Peter, i'm more concerned about his hormones racing through his body'Ronnie said looking serious.
- 'Oh my God i can't believe this, mum i don't wanna have this talk with you, not now i mean'Robbie said getting of her chair wanting to leave the kitchen.
- 'Tough, cause i do'Ronnie said grabbing Robbie by the arm and leading her back to the barstool 'i just want you to be very carefull darling, i mean i understand you're growing up, somehow anyway'Ronnie just thought of there moment together a minute ago.
- 'But i am carefull mum, you think i'm already in to sex which i'm not'Robbie said putting her head in her hands, she couldn't believe she was having this conversation with Ronnie.
- 'I never said that baby, i just want you to be carefull that's what i said'Ronnie said putting some pancakes on a plate for Robbie.
- 'Yeah but i read between the lines, i know what your saying Veronica Mitchell, you're talking like a mum eugh, you don't want me to have sex with Peter'Robbie said taking a bite of her pancakes.
- 'I am your mum Robin Mitchell, and yes i don't want you to have sex yet, well not until your 30 at least'Ronnie grinned'it has to be special between you two baby, not because you think you have to, i want it to be a special memory for you and not something you wanna forget'.
- 'I know mum, now can we drop it please, enough of it!'Robbie said looking serious at Ronnie.
- 'As long as i got through to you, i mean Lucy got herself pregnant back then, don't want you to have to go through that, not yet, i want you to wait till you got everything going for you, you know, have a decent income, a loving partner, hopefully get married to him and then you can make me a grandmum'Ronnie said grinning again although she wanted to be very serious.
- 'Well you're way ahead of me mum, maybe i don't even want any kids, have you ever thought about that'Robbie said getting some juice from the fridge.
- 'Well whatever makes you happy babe, cause that's all i want for you, that you can grow up happy'Ronnie said.
- 'Alright mum, i know you mean well, but can we please drop it please'Robbie said begging Ronnie to drop this subject.
- 'Alright, now Jack isn't gonna tell mum or Roxy what he saw last night, cause i think mum probably also is gonna say something about Peter' Ronnie said leaning over to Robbie also taking a bite of the pancakes.
- 'Great'Robbie said giving Ronnie another bite of her pancake.
- 'So something else, what time was your parentsnight, it was right after school right?' Ronnie asked.
- 'It's after my last class, then you can come by, so that's at 4'Robbie said.
- 'Oh maybe i can hitch a ride with your parents in law'Ronnie joked and was grinning about finding herself funny.
- 'Stop mum'Robbie said, putting her hand on Ronnie's mouth, who was still having a laugh' you're so not funny, me thinks you're more worse then mum probably'.
- 'Excuse me, i'm the best mum you have baby'Ronnie said'the bestes, the coolest, the sweetest'.
- 'Yeah let's keep that up this afternoon when my teacher tells you the bad news'. Robbie said winking at Ronnie.
- 'Goodmorning girls'Jack said as he walked into the kitchen giving Ronnie a kiss first then giving Robbie a hug 'You alright darling?'
- 'Ehm yeah, morning Jack'Robbie said, expecting a mouthfull from Jack.
- 'About last night, ehm you were out of order yeah'Jack said not angry but relaxed 'that's why i told you off last night alright darling, i know Carols not the easiest person but she is older then you, and me even, so we have to pay a little respect'.
- 'Yeah, alright, i understand Jack'Robbie said taking the last bite of her pancake.
- 'And about Pete'Jack said.
- 'Alright Jack, mum just said it, i'll be carefull bla bla bla'Robbie said.
- 'It's not a joke Robbie'Jack said serious looking at Robbie.
- 'Don't worry Jack i will be carefull and look out for myself'Robbie said.
- 'Yeah well i'm keeping my eyes on Pete and you so you remember'Jack said.
- 'Alright DAD!'Robbie said then walking out of the kitchen' i'm gonna get dressed now'.
Ronnie smiled at Jack 'You're sweet with her, i mean, she knows Jack, she knows you mean well, she might act like she finds it all nonsense, us getting worried about her, but she takes it in,…dad'.
- 'I hope so, i also know Peter is a good and descent boy, but still i don't trust those hormones'Jack said putting his arms around Ronnie.
- 'Well like you said, we're keeping an eye on her and Pete, just out of concern'Ronnie said'Coffee?'.
- 'Yes please'Jack said opening the morning paper.
When Robbie came upstairs Glenda just got out of the bathroom.
- 'Morning mum, you're alright?'Robbie said hoping Glenda had forgotten about last night.
- 'Morning darling'Glenda said walking up to Robbie giving her a hug and a kiss on the head'I hope Ronnie or Jack already had a good word with you, i'm not gonna be up for it, got a bit of a headache, but so you know, if i ever catch you with Peter in some position i don't aprove of you'd better start running darling'.
- 'Mum don't worry alright, Ronnie and Jack already have been on my case, why don't you go back to bed and i'll go make you a cup of tea alright, some toast maybe?'Robbie said still having her arms around Glenda.
- 'Tea yes, toast definitely no, thanks darling'Glenda said, then walked back to her room.
- 'Robbie?'Robbie heard Roxy call her from her room. Robbie sighed and walked over to her sisters room 'Morning Rox, what do you want?'
Robbie walked over to Amy, who was already awake and standing up babbling away. Robbie got her out of her cot 'I'll change her, take her downstairs and make some tea for you , i pressume that is what you want yeah?'.
- 'You're the best babysis'Roxy said looking at her youngest sister changing Amy's nappie.
- 'Yeah yeah, it's cause i love my little princess so much, yes i do, yes i do'Robbie was talking to Amy who was laughing at her auntie.
- 'So, Ronnie been hard on you for last night, i mean Carol herself is a piece of work now isn't she'Roxy said'I thought you were a right laugh babysis'.
- 'Well she send me upstairs to bed ofcourse, and she had a word with me just now, and Jack too'Robbie said rolling her eyes to Roxy.
- 'Yeah well you know dad, loves his girls to bits and don't want anybody messing around with his babes'Roxy said'He had to step in though Robbie'.
- 'Yeah i know'Robbie said'It's alright'.
- 'So Peter was outside then, did he knew you were coming out'Roxy asked.
- 'Nooo ofcourse not, now i'm taking Amy downstairs and get you your tea yeah'Robbie said quickly, wanted to get out of Roxy's 20 questions.
- 'Robbie?'Roxy yelled but Robbie took Amy downstairs.
When coming into the kitchen she gave Amy to Jack 'Here you go dad, i've got a clean nappie on and i want some porridge please' then got 2 cups out of the cupboard.
- 'Thought you were getting dressed babes?'Ronnie said looking at Robbie being busy with making some tea.
- 'Well we got 2 hangovers upstairs, i'm just keeping mum happy you know, don't want her to give me another lecture too you know, anyways she's got to much of a headache for it , thank god'Robbie laughed.
- 'Cheek'Ronnie said 'then go and get ready yeah, i sound like i'm on repeat but i don't want you to be to late for school'Ronnie said.
- 'Yeah alright i know mum, i'll see you in a bit yeah'Robbie said then walked out of the kitchen again. Ronnie and Jack looked at eachoter and laughed.
- 'She outsmart us all if we don't pay attention'Ronnie said to Jack who laughed.

The day went fast and Ronnie was walking to the Vic from the club, she was gonna get Roxy's carkeys and then she would be heading over to Walford high, for the parentsmeeting. When she walked by the minimarkt Carol just walked out.
- 'Carol'Ronnie greeted Carol, you're not working then?'
- 'Yes i am, but we ran out of coffee, your mum and i seem to need it more to day somehow'Carol said.
- 'Alright, tell her i said hi, you're still going out tonight together right?'Ronnie asked.
- 'Yeah, think so, we might turn it over to tomorrow, we'll see at the end of the day'Carol said.
- 'Alright, like i said tell her hi from me'Ronnie said.
- 'So you sorted out zippity then, she doesn't know when to stop now does she' Carol said crossing her arms across her chest.
- 'Yeah, strangely enough you two are not bloodrelated now are you then ey Carol ? 'Ronnie said'But ehm yeah Jack and i had a word with her'.
- 'Ok well that's all i wanted to ask you'Carol said.
- 'Good cause i have a parentsmeeting to go to'Ronnie said wanting to walk away.
Carol started laughing 'O my god,good luck then!'
Ronnie looked at Carol, bit her lip and kept on walking and opened the door of the Vic.
- 'Hi sis, so judgementday then'Roxy said walking up to her sister.
- 'Yeah, can i have your keys then?'Ronnie said looking round, it was not that busy.
- 'Just let me go get them out of my purse yeah'Roxy said walking away, when Peggy walked up to Ronnie.
- 'Hi darling, Phil Shirley and Billy just left for the parentsmeeting'she said.
- ' Phils going to parentsnight then?'Ronnie asked surprised.
- 'No, he's just driving Billy and Shirley up there and taking them all home, you know Jay and ZsaZsa'Peggy said'So Roxy told me about last night'.
- 'Yeah'Ronnie sighed'Well you know your niece always wants the last word'.
- 'I have to say yes, but it was quite funny wasn't it, wished i could've been there, seen Carol Jacksons face'Peggy said whispering a bit to Ronnie, Ronnie grinned.
- 'Yes it was actually quite funny'Ronnie said'but it had to stop cause she gets very cheeky auntie Peg'.
- 'Here you go sis'Roxy said handing Ronnie the carkeys.
- 'Alright i'll see you later'Ronnie said waving and wanting to walk away.
- 'Ron'Roxy said. Ronnie stopped and walked back to her younger sister.
- 'What?'Ronnie asked.
- 'Go easy on her ey'Roxy said 'she's a good kid'.
- 'Rox i don't even know what they're gonna tell me, now trust me, i will listen first and…well then i'll see how it goes'Ronnie said.
Ronnie walked out of the Vic and got in Roxy's car. For a minute she looked out of the window, she sighed and then she was of to parentsmeeting.
