When Robbie was dressed, and got downstairs, she walked over to the kitchen to get her lunch and then be off to school.
When she got to the kitchen, Jack was still having his coffee and was reading the morningpapers.
- 'Ehm Jack, where's mum?'She asked while getting her lunch out of the fridge.
- 'She's in the livingroom''Jack said'and i want you to..'.
- 'Ehm alright, i'll ehm see you later then Jack, i'm off to school' Robbie quickly said, knowing Ronnie must have told Jack about what happened this morning.
She turned around to walk over to the livingroom again.
- 'Oi Robbie, you get your bum back in here!'Jack then said a little strict, it startled Robbie a little.
Robbie walked back to the kitchen again.
- 'What?'Robbie asked having a feeling what Jack was on about.
- 'I want you to apologise to your mum and Glenda for your behaviour earlier, i heard what happened, the fact, that maybe because of Lauren's childish behaviour, you got into a fight with her, and your mum cut you some slack doesn't mean we forgot about it alright, you behave yourself a little, is that clear!'Jack said serious but calm.
Robbie just looked at Jack and didn't know what to say.
- 'Robbie i asked you something, i said 'is that clear'?'Jack asked still being strict with Robbie.
- 'Yeah but..'Robbie wanted to defend herself.
- 'There are no excuses for such behaviour and mouthing them off all the time Robbie, these are your mums, and they deserve some respect alright, not that big mouth of yours!'Jack said.
In a way whenever Jack said something to Robbie, it always kicked in for some reason.
- 'Ehm..i'm' Robbie said'i'm sorry Jack'.
- 'Thank you sweetheart, but i think you should be telling that to someone else alright, go on'Jack said'oh and about pinching that neckmuscle of Roxy, never do that again unless you're really in trouble and you have no way out yeah, you could have seriously injured your sister with that alright'.
- 'Yeah ok, sorry, i just wanted her to lay off'Robbie said.
- 'Yeah well, don't use that anymore ok'Jack said'now go on, and have a good day yeah, i'll see you tonight darling'.
Robbie looked at Jack for a second, and then walked over to the livingroom.
Glenda was sitting with Ronnie at the diningroomtable, while she was doing her make-up, Ronnie was going through some bills they received.
When Robbie walked in they both looked up.
- 'Ehm, i ehm, i am sorry about before mum'Robbie said, walking up to Glenda.
Ronnie looked at Robbie then at Glenda.
Glenda was looking at Robbie and smiled a little.
- 'Alright darling, thank you for your apology, now i think there's someone else who deserve your apology, go on'Glenda said winking at her youngest daughter.
- 'I'm really sorry about before mum'Robbie then said to Ronnie, who still looked serious at Robbie.
- 'Alright, sweetheart up to school now'Glenda said.
- 'Alright, now you heard mum, go get your stuff and off to school, we'll talk tonight cause i'm not done with you yet, sorry is not gonna help you out this time' Ronnie said in a bit of a serious voice.
- 'No ofcourse not, i will never hear the end of it right'Robbie said walking away sulking.
- 'Oi, get back over here'Ronnie said making Robbie look at Ronnie again and sighing.
- 'Why?'Robbie asked.
- 'Well aren't we gonna say goodbye properly then?'Ronnie asked still serious.
Robbie rolled her eyes and then walked over and first gave Glenda a kiss on the cheek, then walked over to Ronnie and gave her also a kiss on the cheek.
Only Ronnie grabbed Robbie's arm 'just stop it and behave yeah!'
Robbie sighed again and then walked out of the livingroom and out of the frontdoor, fresh air was what she needed.
She saw Peter still waiting for her outside Pat's house.
- 'Hey'Robbie said a bit down.
- 'What's wrong?'Peter asked, while giving Robbie a little kiss on the cheek.
- 'You don't wanna know what kind of morning i already had'Robbie said'and now i have to go to school, i don't wanna go Pete'.
- 'So..what do you wanna do then?'Peter asked.
- 'Well first of all, not get you in any trouble for starters'Robbie said'why don't you go to school, and well, i'm just gonna take a day off'Robbie said wrapping her arms around Peter's waist.
- 'I don't know Robbie, i mean you get yourself only in more trouble you know, they will call your mum if you're not there'Peter said.
- 'Well i don't think i can get into more trouble then i already am, so i think i deserve a day off'Robbie said with a cheeky smile.
Peter sighed.
- 'Don't worry mister Beale, you just go to school alright, don't want you to get in trouble with your dad, mr goody two shoes'Robbie said joking a bit, but she saw Peter didn't like her calling him a goody two shoe.
- 'Whatever, you just being stubborn Robbie, why would you get yourself into more trouble, don't you just wanna get out and us to be together instead of sneaking off, and don't call me a goody two shoes alright'Peter said.
- 'Sorry Pete, i don't wanna upset you, but i don't wanna go back there today, i just wanna have my mum marry Jack and have him be my dad, then i'm gonna be back in Lauren's face again'Robbie said.
- 'What are you gonna do today then, i mean, them getting married is not gonna change how Lauren made fun of you at school, they could care less if Ronnie and Jack get married, or if Lauren would be jealous of that?'Peter asked now putting his arms back around Robbie again.
- 'Pff i don't know anymore,...you do understand why i don't wanna go back to school today right?' Robbie asked.
- 'Yeah, i mean ofcourse i understand but staying away will only make people talk more about it you know, that you're scared to come to school, and that's only gonna be another point for Lauren, so she can still be in yóur face, it will only give her more reason to tell everyone you're scared to come back to school, and you'll get in more and more trouble only because of her, i just think you should come with us, i mean, i'm there, Whit, Zsa, all your friends are there'Peter said.
Robbie closed her eyes and was thinking. Then she opened her eyes again and said:
- 'Alright, i will go to school then but i don't know if i'm gonna stay for the whole day'.
- 'You've got detention Robbie, how are you gonna do that, they probably got your mums phonenumber on speeddial?'Peter said.
- 'I really don't care anymore Pete'Robbie said'Like i said, how much more trouble can i possibly get into'.
- 'Detention and house-arrest forever Robbie, oh there's Whit, hope she can talk some sense in to ya'Peter said biting his lip.
He didn't want Robbie to get into more trouble, but the way she was acting now, it was like talking to a wall, at least he got her to go to school for now.
It was early in the afternoon, Ronnie and Jack were in the club. Phil came walking down the stairs of the club and looked around.
- 'Phil?'Ronnie said walking out of the office 'what are you doing here, what do you want?'
- 'Well, i've been thinking and ehm, well mum is leaving and she said she didn't want a big farewell party but i was just thinking of us family together maybe, you know a little dinner or something, so she can see us all together before she leaves'Phil said.
- 'And close off theVic?'Ronnie asked walking to the bar-area followed by Phil.
- 'Well i was thinking if i could reserve a big table at Fargo's tonight, and eat there, so she doesn't have to be in the kitchen all day, i mean i don't wanna have her cook her own farewellparty, i got Trace to cover and Alfie said he would do it for mum, and since he's taking over soon, he'll could get adjusted'Phil said.
- 'Hmm, well it felt a little strange to just let her leave sort of quietly'Ronnie said.
- 'So i can count you all in then?'Phil asked.
- 'Yeah, round sevenish maybe?'Ronnie asked looking at Jack, who nodded..
- 'Yeah that's what i was thinking'Phil said'So how's the adoption coming, i mean i made a call myself to Ritchie, ehm, Jay wants to change his name into Mitchell, so there's also a little paperwork there, she said she would handle that also'.
- 'Jay wants to become a Mitchell, oh my days, does he know what he's getting himself into, becoming a Mitchell i mean'Ronnie said laughing.
- 'He really wants to'Phil said'I've been training with him, he's working at the carlot a little, and he asked me'.
- 'So you finally will have the son you wanted Ben to be?'Ronnie asked.
- 'No, Ben is my son, i would never replace him'Phil said a little irritated 'and i can't help it if Jay looks up to me alright'.
- 'Alright Phil, whatever, ehm so sevenish then'Ronnie said'oh and about the adoption, i hope Ritchie will bring us the papers to sign soon, i wanna have the adoption done and then get married to Jack, so Robbie will be there at her mum and dad's wedding, you know what i mean'.
- 'Yeah, don't worry, Ritchie will do what she can'Phil said'alright, i'll see you later then, it will do mum good, ehm do you ask Rox and Glenda and all?'
- 'Yeah don't worry, we'll be there'Ronnie said.
Phil left the R&R and Ronnie looked at Jack, and from her face he knew what she wanted to say to him.
- 'We will be home before half 9 so she can go to bed on time, and she will sit in between us so she can't cause trouble alright, don't worry she'll be alright'Jack said walking over to Ronnie and giving her a kiss.
It was round 16:30 when Robbie was walking through Bridgestreet.
She was walking home alone since she had been on detention.
She and Lauren had left at the same time but each went there own way when they left schoolgrounds, just to avoid all contact.
- 'Oi little Mitchell'she heard someone yelling, she looked up and saw it was Kat at Stacey's stall.
- 'I don't have time, sorry, i need to get home'Robbie said a bit down.
- 'Got yourself in trouble again?'Kat asked as Robbie stopped at the stall.
- 'Don't i always'Robbie said with a forced smile.
- 'You have time for a cuppa maybe?'Kat asked.
- 'With me?'Robbie asked surprised.
- 'Yeah, why not, you know, just a little chat, cause i don't wanna get you into more trouble ofcourse'Kat said.
- 'I don't think that's even possible, i'm on detention, no phone and all, so alright'Robbie said looking around if she didn't see some of her familymembers around.
Then Kat led Robbie to the cafe.
They walked in and Ian was looking up when he saw Robbie walking in with Kat.
- 'Robbie, what can i get ya?'Ian asked and only focused on Robbie.
- ' 2 Tea's Ian'Kat said before Robbie could answer Ian.
- 'So where's Peter?'Ian asked ignoring Kat and looking at Robbie again.
- 'I don't know, home i guess'Robbie said.
- 'Does Ronnie know you're here, or Glenda, i mean are you allowed?'Ian asked looking from Robbie to Kat, wondering what Peter's girlfriend was doing with, in Ian's eyes, a loudmouthed slapper.
- 'Ehm yeah she knows that her 15 year old "tot" is having a cuppa in your scary cafe Ian, Ronnie asked me to babysit her little one as a matter of fact, i'll bring her home after tea, alright then Ian, now is that tea ready or what?' Kat said taking the mick out of Ian.
Robbie giggled a bit looking at Ian's face, who looked pretty irritated by Kat treating him like a fool.
- 'Here!'Ian said, putting the cups down as Kat put some money on the counter.
- 'Come on darling'Kat said walking over to a table'now tell Kat what's going on, why are you in trouble that much ey?'
- 'Cause that's the story of my life, i don't know'Robbie said 'there's always something or someone that get's me in trouble'.
- 'And what is it this time then?'Kat said 'i mean from what i've seen and heard you're some piece of work ey'.
- 'Lauren, she made me the laughing stock at school, so i kinda made clear i wasn't happy about that'Robbie said putting some sugar in her cup and starting to stir her spoon.
- ''Is that why you have that cut above you're eye?'Kat asked putting her hand under Robbie's chin to see it better lifting her face up a little ' oh my god is this also a black eye'.
- 'Yeah, Roxy's foundationcreme does a lot of good to cover it, but ehm, you should see Lauren's face'Robbie said with a cheeky smile.
- 'And now you're in trouble for fighting with her, i mean detention?'Kat asked.
- 'Yeah, at school yeah, mum didn't really punish me for it cause ehm.. well she just didn't, ofcourse i did enough this morning to get me punished anyways'Robbie said not wanting to tell Kat why Ronnie didn't really punish her for the fight, and what made her the laughing stock in school.
- 'She didn't punish you for the fight...cause...you're spoilt, the youngest...what?'Kat said, being nosy.
- 'I can't tell alright, don't wanna be the laughing stock on the square either alright'Robbie said.
- 'Oi, i would never make a fool of you alright'Kat said'i swear, really, don't worry darling'.
Robbie looked seriously at Kat and saw that Kat was really being serious herself.
- 'You have to promise to keep it to yourself ok, not even tell Stace'Robbie said.
- 'I'm not gonna tell, i promise you, on my heart, on my Alfie, and on this little one inside here'Kat said rubbing her belly.
- 'Well, ehm...i ehm... i've been having these nightmares and ehm..'Robbie said looking around if anyone familiar was at the cafe, or was listening in on their conversation. when noone seemed interested in Robbie and Kat's conversation, except for Ian who was keeping his eyes on them the whole time.
Robbie leaned over to Kat and the continued 'i ehm, these nightmares really gave me a scare and well, i only sleep well when, when ehm.. when i sleep in my mums bed, and Jack told 'his brother Max who's Lauren's dad, and that skank must have heard and told in school, she called me a baby'.
Kat looked at Robbie and giggled a little.
Robbie stood up looking irritated and said'are you taking the mick out of me, you think this is funny then?'
Kat also stood up and sat next to Robbie sitting her down again 'Sit down, is that it, is this all Lauren's got on you i mean, you should be laughing at her for trying to make fun of you for something like that'.
- 'Excuse me?'Robbie asked not understanding.
- 'You shouldn't feel ashamed to sleep in your mums bed when you're having nightmares darling, they can be really horrible, i know what you're talking bout, i had some pretty scary nightmares years ago, i wish i had my mum around then to crawl into bed with and have her sooth me a little, or hold me so i could sleep'Kat said serious.
Robbie didn't expect something like this from someone like Kat.
Kat in her eyes always looked like she could take on the world.
- 'You mean that?'Robbie asked'i mean really?'
- 'Yes darling, i'm dead serious'Kat said'never let anyone tell you any different, Lauren should be ashamed of herself'.
- 'She's a cow'Robbie said drinking some of her tea.
- 'And you just mentioned that you got punished anyways this morning, so what is that about then, what could happen in 24 hours?'Kat asked smiling thinking Robbie reminded her so much of her own big mouth all the time but also of Zoe, who always had an answer back also.
- 'Oh well pff'Robbie didn't really wanted to say it.
- 'Well out with it?'Kat said.
- 'I tend to have a big mouth sometimes, you know...to mum, but this was all about Rox who went Psycho'Robbie said looking innocent at Kat.
- 'And what did she went psycho for then?'Kat asked smiling cause she wondered what would make Roxy tick.
- 'Oh i had some shirts of her in my closet and she found them accidently last night, she had a go at me, then i had a go at her, at mum, my other mum Glenda and well in the end mum smacked my backside cause i gave her a slap first and i've been mouthing her off the whole morning'Robbie said looking down, a little ashamed of herself telling this to Kat so openly.
- 'Well then you deserved that smack on your backside right'Kat said raising one of her eyebrows'you should respect your elders remember'.
- 'Yeah alright, believe me i got punished, i mean that smack i don't care about it's just that she took my phone away and i have to be in bed by half 9, half 9 can you believe it'Robbie said rolling her eyes and making faces.
- 'Then i think you really got away with it'Kat said'with me you would've not been able to sit on that bum of yours, bigmouth, and i would have taken a little more then just your phone'.
Robbie looked up at Kat who smiled at her and winked 'made you look haha'.
- 'I ehm, i think i really need to get going, you know what happens when my mum comes around and finds me here, you know we Mitchells have the tendency to react a little dramatic'Robbie said.
- 'Alright, now try to behave a little ok, and if you wanna talk, you just come find me yeah'Kat said.
- 'That won't be hard'Robbie said with a cheeky smile'you're not the most quiet person on the square, you would make a terrible spy, you can't keep quiet, i mean not really'.
- 'Oi, you wanna stay in trouble, then keep it up'Kat said laughing a little at this cheeky smartass Mitchell.
They both got up and walked out of the cafe.
Ian followed them untill they were out of sight.
