Ronnie put her phone down and starred through the blinds of the flat, looking across the square, dressed just in one of Jack's shirts. She bit her lip and turned her head looking at Jack, who was just dressed in his boxers, drinking a glass of water, standing against the kitchensink starring at his sexy wife.
- 'Who is it from?' Jack asked.
- 'Phil…he wants to see Roxy and me like right now' Ronnie said walking up to Jack and putting her head on his bare chest.
- 'You want me to come with you and Roxy?' Jack asked stroking Ronnie's hair back.
- 'No, it might make him get jumpy, I don't want to irritate Phil' Ronnie said' I just hope he'll accept our proposition not turn it down cause he sees you, I mean you've never really been the best of friends now were you?'
- 'Alright, well go take a shower and go get it over with, see what he wants, hopefully he agrees on your terms and it'll be all over, i want my daughter to have nothing to worry about anymore and have sweet dreams again and want my wife in my own bed' Jack winked at Ronnie.
- 'Aw sweety, but you're right, I'm glad to tell Robbie mum's alright, I kinda feel like I owe her a big apology for not believing her straight away' Ronnie said.
- 'Who Glenda or Robbie' Jack asked.
- 'Both I think' Ronnie said' I mean I wanted to believe Robbie ofcourse, I just thought it was mum putting stories in her head you know…. alright, I ehm gonna give Rox a call then shower'.
- 'You want company?' Jack asked with a little glance in his eyes.
- 'Ehm yes…need someone to dry me off after now don't I ' Ronnie smiled, took Jack's hand and walked him to the bathroom.

Robbie and Peter were just sitting outside the park at the little pond that was there. They were sitting on a bench and were throwing little pieces of gravel into the water.
- 'Did you hear that there's karaoke-night at the Vic tomorrow?' Robbie asked Peter keeping her eyes on the water.
- 'Yeah, think Jane is gonna embarrass me then, she has been talking about it all week' Peter said putting his arm around Robbie.
- 'Don't know if we're gonna be there but now I want to be there, oh my god Jane, is she any good?' Robbie said letting her head rest on Peters chest.
- ' Mmm if you think Heather has the same voice as George Michael, well yeah then she's really good 'Peter said 'hope we won't be an embarrassment if we would ever have any kids'.
- 'Kids?' Robbie sat up again a little shocked to hear Peter talking about something that obviously hadn't crossed her mind yet.
- 'I don't mean now ofcourse, you know when we're as old as them, something like that, did I scare you' Peter said.
- 'Yeah I mean kids, pff want to party first, and take vacations alone, just you and me, and a carrier ofcourse, maybe I can take over the R&R' Robbie said.
- 'Yeah ofcourse, first see how this all turns out, you and me' Peter said pulling Robbie close.
- 'And what do you mean by that?' Robbie asked sitting up again.
- 'Shhs I'm just saying, it's not something I'm thinking about, but you never know what's gonna happen Robbie, I mean a year from now, I don't know, anything can happen' Peter said trying to convince Robbie that he was not seriously thinking of splitting up but just talking reality.
- 'You've got a great way of ruining my happy moment' Robbie said looking a bit offended by Peter's look on reality.
- 'I thought all Mitchells ánd Brannings are pretty secure of themselves' Peter said.
- 'Yeah and I thought you weren't anything like your father, you really know how to…'Robbie pouted.
Peter pushed Robbie down to the cold grass and started kissing her. Robbie immediately put her arms around Peter and he pulled her up while she had her legs around his waist and her lips glued to his.

- 'So did he say anything?' Roxy said to Ronnie as they were on their way to see Phil.
- 'He texted me Rox, just to come and see him that's all' Ronnie said 'now let him and me talk yeah, stay calm if it's not what we want to hear ok?'.
- 'Yeah yeah ' Roxy said knowing her sister was more stronger with words then herself.
As they arrived at the garage, they both took deep breaths and opened the door since it was closed.
- 'Phil?' Ronnie said as she peeked around the door.
- 'Yeah come in' Phil said then walking up to the girls and locking the door behind them.
The girls were both looking at eachother for Phil locking the door.
- 'Just incase yeah, don't want Shirley or anyone else turning up unexpected' Phil said.
Roxy gave Phil a quick smile.
- 'So?' Ronnie said 'have you thought about it then?'
- 'Yeah, ehm there's only one thing, I'm alright with giving half of the Vic up, but only to you Ron, don't get me wrong Rox but ehm your sister is more the business type yeah, I can't afford to let you make any mistakes ' Phil said with a little smirk on his face.
- 'What?' Ronnie said not expecting this offer 'what about Roxy's money, this is not what we talked about Phil'.
- 'We didn't talk about anything Ronnie, you just said what you wanted and I said I would think about it alright' Phil said 'and ofcourse I've been thinking about Roxy's money, ehm, I will pay her some money back'.
- 'Some?' Roxy said 'are you kidding me Phil, Ron?'
- 'Half of the Vic and first 6 months of income from it are Roxy's 'Ronnie said in a calm voice.
Phil started to laugh 'see that's what I mean Roxy, you could've not have come up with that right'.
- 'So?' Ronnie asked still serious not distracted from what Phil just said.
Phil sighed and scratched his forehead looking at both his cousins for a minute without saying anything . Ronnie stayed calm and Roxy, getting nervous from Phil being so silent, started biting her nails.
- 'Alright, I ehm, I will tell Shirley about this ofcourse, I can't just do this behind her back but you've got to keep your mouths shut about the whole Glenda stuff yeah, that's over, I wanna be with Shirley' Phil said pointing out with his finger that he was serious about them keeping it quiet.
- 'Yeah alright' Ronnie said 'could you make some paper up with Ritchie maybe, I mean we're not gonna just do it on your word alright'.
Phil's eyes sparkled, although he was caught with nicking his cousins money he could laugh about it and felt sort of proud of Ronnie's smart business side and to not just trust him simply cause they were family 'yeah I'll give her a call'.
- 'Alright Phil, it was a pleasure doing business with you' Ronnie said with a little grin then put her arm around Roxy and took her out of the garage.
- 'You really think we did alright?' Roxy asked a little uncertain, she felt like she had been there but didn't know for what, even if it was all about her money that was stolen it seemed like the deal was all about Ronnie and Phil and felt like nothing to do with her.
- 'What do you think Rox, just let me handle it, we're gonna make sure the Vic is gonna be packed every weekend and all, 6 months, you'll get more then he got from you believe me I'll make sure of it, I'll take care of you baby, don't you worry!' Ronnie said giving her sister a kiss on the head.
- 'Thanks, I guess' Roxy said.
- 'What?' Ronnie asked feeling something was obviously still bothering her younger sister.
- 'Well you and Phil making some deal between the two of you when it's all about him nicking my money' Roxy said looking a little frustrated.
- 'Rox, hé nicked your money alright, not me, I would never do that to you, you're my little sister and I'm gonna make sure he's gonna be sorry for ever stealing from his cousin alright' Ronnie said' but we first have to make sure that he comes up with those papers and as soon as they're signed you'll be fine kiddo, I promise you!'.
- 'What would I do without you ey' Roxy said putting her arms around big sister.
- 'Come on I need to talk to Jack about this and we need to tell Robbie about it, she can never mention the affair to anyone, and mum ofcourse' Ronnie said.
