The next morning Robbie woke up by the sound of a textmessage from her phone.
She looked to the rightside of her and saw Roxy still fast asleep.
Robbie leaned over her sister to get her phone which was laying next to Roxy's pillow.
She looked at her phone and looked for the new textmessage.
"Morning babe, hope ur alright,i guess ur in some trouble yeah, hope ur able 2read this txt!No regrets, love spending time with u =D hang inthere xox P
ps what was Jays prob anyway?"
Robbie's face lit up although she still felt terrible about the way Jack must have scared Peter off.
She loved having Jack really as her dad now, like she always wanted, but this was a little too much, she knew Jack had always been protective of her but she was afraid with Jack being her dad now he was always gonna scare off every other boy she would bring home, allthough at this moment Peter was her one and only true love ofcourse.
She answered Pete's text back with also a textmessage.
I'm ok now, was worried bout u, sorry bout my wacko dad, he's in a learning proces i guess. Homer&Marge went mental ofcourse :s, never gonna hear the end of it probs, could kill Jay n i will, believe me he's dead, ill cu tomoz4school :( 3 R"
Robbie didn't wanna mention the reason Jay grassed them up.
She would deal with him herself.
She put her phone under her pillow and snuggeled up to her sister who automatically put her arms around her, probably thinking she was in the bed with some hunky bloke.

Downstairs in the kitchen, Ronnie was waking herself up with some coffee.
Jack had gone over to the minutemart to get some bread for toast and some other groceries.
Glenda had come down the stairs and was rubbing her head while walking into the kitchen.
- 'Morning darling'Glenda said sitting down at one of the chairs 'is there any coffee left?'
- 'Morning mum, yeah go ahead'Ronnie said not in the mood to serve her hangover mother.
- 'Oh'Glenda said a bit dissapointed with Ronnie's reaction 'so ehm where's Jack?'
- 'Minutemart'Ronnie said.
- 'Roxy?'Glenda asked.
- 'Having a lie-in'Ronnie said starring at her mother hoping she would stop asking her all these questions, she just wasn't in the mood after last night.
- 'Our little troublemaker then?'Glenda asked, while pourring some coffee in a cup, not taking notice of Ronnie's facial expression.
Ronnie sighed, took a sip of her coffee and got of her chair.
- 'Sleeping'Ronnie said as she walked out of the kitchen.
Glenda followed Ronnie to the livingroom with her coffee.
- 'So you and Jack told her she was way out of line then?'Glenda asked 'can't believe where they got the nerve, the thought of Peter Beale all over my little one'.
- 'Mum please stop!'Ronnie said not wanting to see the same visions again of Robbie and Peter all over eachother.
- 'They're still baby's'Glenda said not really paying any attention to Ronnie's reaction.
- 'Mum i said stop, they're not 5 anymore alright, they're teenagers with racing hormones, and Robbie doesn't think about nerves, i wish she did sometimes but she just does it, pay attention mum, she does not think of the consequences untill she gets herself in trouble again, that's how it always goes, it's typical Robbie'Ronnie said looking through some magazine that she got from the table.
The frontdoor opened and Jack walked in.
- 'Morning Glenda, didn't think you would be up yet'Jack said grinning putting the grocerybag down.
- 'Water and asperine does the trick for me Jack, now how is your "daddy-hangover"what a start ey, no regrets now you've signed the papers?'Glenda said.
comment to Jack.
"I'm ok, was worried bout u, sorry bout my wacko dad, he's in a learning proces i guess. Homer&Marge went mental ofcourse :s, never gonna hear the end of it probs, could kill Jay n i will, believe me he's dead, ill cu tomoz4school :( 3 R"
- 'Mum will you please just shu...'Ronnie snapped at her mum for her inappropriate
- 'Forget it Ron'Jack said taking the grocerybag out of the livingroom giving Glenda a smile.
- 'That came out the wrong way'Glenda said.
- 'You think?'Ronnie snapped again and also walked out of the livingroom and followed Jack to the kitchen.
- 'You alright?'she said as she put her arms around Jack.
- 'Yeah don't worry about your mother, i know what i meant to Robbie long before Glenda came back'Jack said giving Ronnie a kiss.
- 'That's right, as long as you remember that, you might be her dad officially since Friday, but you've been more like a dad to her for years, you know she loved you more then she loved dad, i can't even recall her telling me she loved him, but about you, do you know when you and me broke up she just diddn't wanna accept it, she kept on saying how she wanted us to be together and how i could do that to her, it was like her giving me a lecture, she was furious with me'Ronnie smiled.
Jack started to smile 'she lectured you ey'he said putting some bread in the toaster.
- 'Yes, you know what she also used to do then'Ronnie said.
- 'What put you on house-arrest?'Jack grinned.
- 'No, worse, she could ignore me for days, or she cried which really was painfull to see, and then when i wanted to comfort her she'd push me away and go to Rox'Ronnie said'it made me feel like a terrible mum'.
- 'Ah shut up, you're not a terrible mum, these were things between us, we didn't work at that time, and you know what they say "never stay together for the kids", you did it out of love for her right, out of protection'Jack said.
- 'Is that why you went crazy last night finding them, and i do mean Peter,finding him under your bed?'Ronnie asked.
- 'Yeah, i had been talking to Max about it, we once were young boys you know, i just wanna protect my girls, all of them'Jack said.
- 'Don't think she will see it that way yet'Ronnie said sighing.
- 'So what do you wanna do about last night then?'Jack asked.
- 'Well we still need to have a little chat with her, i mean couple of weeks ago she didn't wanna talk to me about it, i mean about having sex and all, i guess we need to have another talk about it'Ronnie said.
- 'She said nothing like that happened, you don't believe her then?'Jack asked.
- 'We just need to have this talk again Jack, she might be telling the truth, saying that they wanted to be alone, but they could have just sneaked outside the house, instead she nicked my keys and sneaked off to your apartement?'Ronnie said.
- 'So she still sleeping then?'Jack asked.
- 'She's still upstairs, Rox kept her company last night, think they still might be out of it'Ronnie said.
- 'Big sis sticking up for her then?'Jack asked.
- 'They're like two peas in a pot Jack, they stick up for eachother, they always did, eversince Robbie was little'Ronnie said.
- 'We'll have a talk with her, just the two of us ok?'Jack asked'don't wanna have to argue with Roxy about this'.
- 'Yeah exactly one smartmouth is enough and the to of them together means a lot more drama, we'll wait untill she's up and have a little word with her'Ronnie said.

Upstairs Roxy was waking up slowly.
She looked around the room, realising that she slept in her little sistersroom, to comfort her for last nights trouble she'd got herself into.
Cause of Robbie's crying, that happened a couple times during the night, Roxy's arms were a little sore since they had been around her babysister most of the night.
The fact that Jack had pulled Peter from under the bed had made a big impression on Robbie.
Images of when she was younger, still living at home with Archie, had come up, whenever she had been in trouble or had misbehaved, according to him, he had pushed her up against the wall a couple of times.
She knew Jack was really not to be compared with Archie ofcourse, and Jack had probably done this out of protection for her, not to manipulate or tell her who was boss, still she couldn't get that part out of her mind.
The look on Peter's face being all shook up had made her realise that this was a very stupid idea just like Roxy had said.
Although if Jay had kept his big mouth shut, it wouldn't have even happened and they had made it back to the party in time for anyone to notice.
Robbie also started to move around a little, since Roxy was trying to wake her up slowly by pinching Robbie's nose.
- 'Wake up midget'Roxy said.
Robbie turned a little and put her pillow over her head.
- 'Wake me up tomorrow alright'Robbie mumbled.
- 'You need to face the music babes'Roxy said 'you made your bed now you have to lay in it'.
- 'That's what i'm doing, i'm laying in it alright'Robbie said slapping her sister with her pillow.
Roxy grabbed her own pillow and slapped her sister back, then jumped on her and started to tickle her.
- 'Rox, please i'm not really in the mood'Robbie said putting her arms around Roxy's neck to keep her from slapping her with the pillow.
- 'Heard you crying a couple times last night'Roxy said stroking Robbie's face.
- 'Yeah, i kept seeing Pete's face, and Jack just being so...well it reminded me of dad you know, and i know Jacks not at all like him, it just...i don't know...i know he wants to protect me which i really love about him, but it's Pete, he told me he didn't wanna do anything cause we've been drinking'Robbie said.
- 'Robbie..'Roxy sighed'i can't believe i'm hearing this, so if he hadn't stop you, you would have...'.
- 'Shut up...no...i mean, i just wanted for him to hold me'Robbie said blushing a bit.
- 'Yeah right, you think i'm really that stupid Robbie'Roxy said.
- 'Rox i swear'Robbie said being serious.
- 'I just want you to be carefull alright, you're still really young, you have time enough to explore alright'Roxy said'when you want to talk about it, you know, when you think it's time, you'll come to me ok'Roxy said serious.
- 'I don't think when it's time i will say "oh stop for a minute Pete, i have to talk to Rox first"Robbie joked.
- 'Oi don't try to act smart with me Robbie, you know what i mean'Roxy said'just think about it, and take it a little serious alright, i'm only trying to help you, i'm not the one who's in trouble here'.
- 'Yeah alright, now can we forget about it think i got some more coming'Robbie said knowing Ronnie and Jack weren't finished talking to her either.
- 'Let's get up'Roxy said 'i need to go over to the salon later on, some deliveries came yesterday and i have to organise it before we open tomorrow, you wanna come?'Roxy asked.
- 'Don't think i'm allowed out of my cage today'Robbie said sitting up.
- 'I could ask, put in a good word for you'Roxy winked at her sister.
- 'It's Ronnie, you dosy cow, what word would be so good to let you get her that far to allow me outside the house today?'Robbie said rolling her eyes at Roxy for coming up with this stupid suggestion.
- 'Don't call me a dosy cow Robbie!'Roxy said giving her sister a little slap as a warning 'i'm not one of your friends you're talking to'.
- 'Sorry'Robbie said putting her arms around Roxy again 'you think you can have a word with mum then maybe, with mum ánd dad, there's two of em now remember, so ehm...good luck!'
- 'Come on then'Roxy said putting one of Robbie's hoodies on, Robbie also put one of her hoodies on that lay around her room, and followed her sister.
They both went downstairs.
When they wanted to walk into the livingroom Roxy noticed Ronnie in the kitchen and pushed her little sister towards her, to go and talk to Ronnie.
- 'You said you put in a good word for me'Robbie whispereda bit snappy at her older sister.
- 'If you go up to her first it'll make a good impression on her alright, let me handle Jack for you'Roxy said.
- 'You better help me out'Robbie whispered.
- 'And you better stop getting yourself into trouble alright'Roxy said giving Robbie her serious look.
Robbie grinned, then walked up to the kitchen.
