When Glenda and Robbie got home, Glenda got some keys out and opened the apartment of Jack and Ronnie.
- 'You're gonna stay at ours then mum?' Robbie asked a little surprised, while walking in with Glenda.
- 'No, you're coming upstairs with me but I want you to go get some of your stuff, you know jammy's and that sort of thing' Glenda said 'go on!'
Robbie looked at her mum for a minute and then walked over to her room and got some of her stuff for the little sleepover upstairs.
- 'You better get ready for bed little one' Glenda said as they got upstairs.
- 'Can I have a drink first I'm thirsty' Robbie said walking to the fridge.
- 'Think you've had enough to drink for tonight, don't you?' Glenda said raising her eyebrows at Robbie.
- 'Ha funny Posh…I meant cold water' Robbie said being cheeky instead of opening the fridge then let the water run and got a glass out of the cupboard.
- 'Watch that mouth of yours missy, so where did you get the alcohol from this time?' Glenda asked sitting down on the sofa while Robbie sat down on the armchair and took a sip.
- 'Can we please not talk about it mum?' Robbie said looking at her phone seeing there was a text from Peter.
- 'Excuse me, I'll better take this for tonight' Glenda said taking the phone out of Robbie's hands 'you'll get that back in the morning'.
- 'Mum, give it back to me please, I got a text' Robbie said.
- 'I don't care about a text darling, I care about you and want to know where you got the alcohol from cause your're not allowed to drink it remember?' Glenda said looking serious.
- 'You really think I'm going to tell you, don't be daft mum i'm not a grass' Robbie said standing up 'good night, I'm off to bed, I'll see you in the morning'.
- 'Not so fast madam get back here and sit down, we're not finished talking now are we? ' Glenda said strict 'now if you don't want to be a grass, I can tell you who has been opening their mouths'.
Robbie looked at Glenda not understanding what she was on about.
- 'Peter' Glenda said 'your boyfriend apparently told his father about me and Phil, I thought you said he would keep his mouth shut?'
- 'What are you on about, Peter wouldn't say a thing, I'm sure of it, think you should go to bed mum, you're well wasted obviously' Robbie said defending her boyfriend.
- 'Oi don't you get lippy with me smartmouth, I'm not the one in trouble here, I'm old enough to drink alright!' Glenda said strict.
- 'Why would you say Peter told about you and Phil to Ian' Robbie asked being curious why her mum started that.
- 'Cause Ian came on to me tonight' Glenda said walking over to the kitchen and poured herself some wine while Robbie started laughing.
- 'Yeah sure mum, take another one, I'm off to bed' Robbie said standing up again.
Glenda turned around and gave Robbie such a strict look that Robbie sat back in the chair again.
- 'Ian came on to me and he told me he knows Robin!' Glenda then said a little irritated, not at Robbie not believing her but for the fact Ian knew and it probably wouldn't take long until he would talk again.
- 'I don't understand, he promised me mum, Peter promised me to keep it to himself, I can't believe he would go behind my back and tell Ian of all people' Robbie said then finally realizing that her mother was not making up something.
- 'Well like father like son maybe…, now I'm not going to let myself be blackmailed by Ian Beale' Glenda said as she sat back down on the sofa again.
- 'Blackmail?' Robbie asked 'what are you talking about, what does he want from you mum?'
Glenda didn't say anything but her face told enough.
- 'What about Jane?' Robbie asked 'can we just tell him we're going to tell her?'
- 'We?' Glenda said 'Me darling, you're going to keep out of this, and I mean it, I don't want that "revenge"-behavior of yours alright, is that clear?'
- 'What about mum, dad, you should tell them' Robbie said.
- 'I want you to go to bed now alright' Glenda said standing up 'come on'
- 'Mum, you think I can sleep now' Robbie said.
- 'Come on, you better sleep in my bed cause I don't want any rows between you and your sister when she gets home' Glenda said leading Robbie into her mothers bedroom.
Robbie sat on the bed and started to undress herself to get into her pj's .
- 'Mum could I get my phone, I wanna see what Peter texted me?' Robbie asked.
- 'And I want you to get some rest tonight alright, come on you sleep on that side' Glenda said as she pulled open the duvet and let Robbie crawl in 'night little one' Glenda gave Robbie a kiss and Robbie lay down. Then Glenda turned of the light and walked out of the room. Robbie couldn't just believed what she had heard, would Peter really have told Ian about the affair, especially after she told him not to?

Ronnie walked down the stairs of the R&R, Roxy had decided to come along and see if it was busy at the club.
- 'Didn't think it would be so busy, I mean with the Vic having it's karaoke night and all' Roxy said looking around.
- 'Well that's good isn't it?' Ronnie said looking around for her husband 'I'll go check the office yeah, see if Jack's there'.
- 'Yeah alright' Roxy said 'I'll go have myself a drink yeah'.
- 'Yeah alright, I'll see you in a bit' Ronnie said stroking her sisters cheeks 'behave yeah!'.
Ronnie walked back to the office and walked in finding Jack sitting there with a familiar face of some sort.
- 'Ron, hey' Jack said 'finally, I would like you to meet somebody'.
- 'We ehm… we already met, before, at the mini-market right' Ronnie said .
- 'Yes we did' the man said with a little sly smile.
- 'Really' Jack asked 'Ron, meet Michael Moon, my best friend from back in the days, Max knows him as well'.
- 'Michael Moon ey' Ronnie said while shaking the man's hand 'any chance of you being related to Alfie Moon?'
- 'Cousins' Jack said smiling 'they're cousins can you believe it'.
- 'So what brings you to Walford?' Ronnie asked sitting down on the arm of the sofa next to Jack.
- 'Just visiting the relatives' Michael said 'ehm, so to get back to the day we met, you're telling me that that smartmouth daughter of yours, is actually Jack's, ow you got your hands full with that one mate?'
- '"That one" happens to be our daughter you're talking about alright, Jack adopted her just before we got married, it's a long story anyway and yes she's quite a handful but you didn't make a positive first impression yourself now did you?' Ronnie said giving Michael a look to put him back in place.
- 'She's a handful, but she and Ronnie have been through a lot, and she might be a little cheeky but she's my daughter, and I love her very much, she really keeps us on our toes, never a dull moment, I'm really blessed that she wanted me to be her dad' Jack said defending Robbie a little.
- 'Oh they got you all soft mate' Michael laughed apparently not really recognizing the man Jack used to be when he was a young lad.
Jack laughed while Ronnie just forced a little smile.
- 'Can I talk to you in private Jack, sorry Michael but I really need to talk to Jack about something' Ronnie then asked.
- 'Yes, ofcourse, I'll see you in a minute alright' Michael said walking out the office winking at Jack.
- 'Yeah, go get a drink say it's on me' Jack said winking back putting his arm around Ronnie.
Ronnie put her head on Jack's chest.
- 'So you met him before then?' Jack asked.
- 'Yeah the other day I took the girls to the minimarket, he pushed Robbie aside while walking in, I thought it was here being rude at first when she mouthed him off, but she said he just pushed her aside just like that' Ronnie said.
- 'She home now?' Jack asked.
- 'Yeah mum took her home, mum embarrassed her a bit in front of her friends so she got in a right mood' Ronnie said grinning a little.
- 'What did Glenda do that for then?' Jack asked while stroking through Ronnie's hair.
- 'Well she got embarrassed first seeing us dancing together through the Vic, then mum brought up something from when she was still a baby, we used to call her punky-pampers for spiking her hair and all, so the girls started laughing at hearing it but Rox was laughing out loud so that probably ticked her off even more, then I also found out she had been drinking again cause I smelled alcohol on her breath when I talked to her' Ronnie sighed.
Jack sighed too then said 'where do you think she got it from?'
- 'She didn't say, I don't know at all how she got it or if some of the others brought it along, I don't know, I will have a talk with her tomorrow yeah' Ronnie said.
- 'It's kids, teenagers' Jack said 'gotta keep a close eye on her maybe, i don't think it will be the last time she gets caught drinking underage?'.
- 'I don't know, doesn't mean we're not going to say anything about it now do we?' Ronnie said.

The frontdoor of nr 29 opened to the square and a young blond quickly walked out the door and crossed through the park. In front of the Vic she stood still. Robbie, dressed in some trainers on her feet, checkered p.j.-bottoms and a longleaf baseballshirt, looked at the entrance of the Vic, then turned her head to the right looking at the Beale house on the corner. It was still dark there. Robbie had been tossing and turning in bed and couldn't have gotten the thought out of her mind of Peter telling his dad about Glenda and Phil's affaire, how could he? Glenda hadn't come to bed yet so she had pretended to be going to the toilet by opening the bathroom door, but she didn't get in, instead she had quietly walked down the stairs and gotten out of the flat, luckily not running in to either her sister, mum or dad. Although she would probably end up in much more trouble as she was already in, she just couldn't get Peter out of her mind, how could he betray her like this and of all people, to Ian Beale. Then hearing about him trying to blackmail her mum into something behind Jane's back made her skin crawl and almost throw up.
She walked to the side entrance of the Vic and walked in looking around to see if Peter was still there, she hadn't been gone that really long so he might have just be still there. Then she spotted him talking to Darren and Jodie at the end of the bar all the way on the other side. Quickly she moved herself through the crowd not really paying any attention to who else were at the Vic.
- 'Robbie?' a voice said but Robbie was focused on getting to Peter.
Then when she was almost there Peter's eyes met Robbie's, his face lit up as he spotted his girlfriend. Then he saw that her face wasn't as lightened up as his was.
- 'Robbie, you alright, I thought you went home with Glenda?' Peter asked.
- 'You couldn't stay away from Prince Charming then?' Jodie asked and smiled at Peter and Darren.
Then Robbie walked up to Peter and gave him a hard push, not expecting it he fell back to the bar bouncing into one of the punters.
- 'Robbie? What you did that for, are you out of your mind?' Peter asked changing his face to not understanding what was going on with Robbie 'what's going on?'
- 'You tell me, you grass, I told you something to keep quiet about, I thought you were my boyfriend, I trusted you!' Robbie shouted.
- 'What's going on here?' Kat asked looking around to see where the shouting came from.
- 'Robbie?' the voice from before said, Robbie looked around and saw it was Carol, wondering what her niece was doing at the Vic again at this hour with no Ronnie or Jack or Glenda around.
Robbie ignored her aunt and looked back at Peter.
- 'What do you mean, Robbie I don't know what you're on about, tell what, and to whom?' Peter asked not having no idea of what Robbie was on about.
- 'You know what I told you about my mum I wanted you to keep your big gob shut about and there you go telling it to your dad of all people, he knows, my mum told me you idiot, he's blackmailing him now stupid!' Robbie said closely to Peters ear, then she pulled a little away from him and slapped him in the face 'it's over, I'm done with…'
Then Carol got hold of Robbie 'Robbie what's going on, I thought Glenda took you home?"
- 'Yeah well I came back, to break up with him, you're as bad as that dad of yours, I thought I could trust you!' Robbie said pointing at Peter. Peter just stood shocked and confused looking at Robbie not understanding any of it.
- 'I didn't tell him Robbie' Peter said 'honestly, I would never, I promised you, I would never hurt you'.
- 'Come on I'm gonna take you home' Carol said walking Robbie through the Vic.
- 'Let go of me, you can't tell me what to do!' Robbie yelled at Carol.
- 'Yeah we'll see about that, now come on!' Carol said not letting go of Robbie's wrist and dragging her out of the Vic letting Darren and Jodie fuss over Peter who just was still looking shocked.
Outside Carol dragged Robbie cross the square back to the flat.
- 'Are you out of your mind being out alone at this hour' Carol was ranting.
- 'It's just across the street, and I don't have to explain myself to you' Robbie said looking angry at Carol.
- 'No you don't but you will when we get you home to Glenda' Carol said ringing the bell.
A minute later Glenda opened the door wondering who was at the door at this hour.
- 'Carol what…Robbie, what the ….why aren't you upstairs in bed hmm? ' Glenda said surprised noticing Robbie behind Carol.
- 'She stormed into the Vic and was at Peter's throat, she slapped him in the face' Carol said 'I assume you haven't been noticing your daughters been out of the flat?'
- 'She was already in bed!' Glenda said strict still looking at Robbie.
- 'Well she isn't anymore' Carol said looking disapproving at Robbie.
- 'What?' Robbie said cheeky.
- 'Oi, upstairs you and you better be in bed when I get back up there!' Glenda said giving Robbie a little slap on the arm. Robbie walked in and went upstairs.
- 'What happened?' Carol asked.
- 'Well, I guess young love, trouble in paradise?' Glenda said trying not to tell Carol what really was going on. Glenda had put two and two together and ofcourse knew what Robbie had been doing there at the Vic to Peter, she knew what that was about.
- 'Just keep a good eye on her yeah, she's a handful that one!' Carol said 'I'll ehm, I'll see you Monday yeah, have a good sleep, just be sure to keep one eye open' Carol grinned as she walked away from the flat as Glenda closed the door and looked up and sighed.
As she got upstairs again she walked over to her bedroom and saw Robbie sitting in the bed starring at her.
- 'What was that all about, sneaking out?' Glenda asked 'couldn't you have waited until tomorrow and face him?'
- 'He told me he would keep his word, how will I ever trust him again mum?' Robbie said with tears in her eyes. She felt hurt, Peter was really the sweetest and most normal boy on the square and now he had done this, him telling broke her trust.
- 'Come here' Glenda said as she sat on the bed next to her youngest and put her arms around her 'don't you ever sneak out again alright, next time you will be explaining for the rest of your life why my hand is still visible on your bum alright'.
- 'I'm sorry mum, I just was so angry with him I had to get out, I know if I had asked you would've said no' Robbie said leaning her head on her mums chest. Glenda didn't want to leave Robbie right away with her being so sad and heartbroken about what Peter had done so she sat with her until she fell asleep in her arms.
