A few people have requested some more Zoe and Maisie chapters so I'm going to try my best and do that for you! Anyway here's a little girly chat between them, hope you enjoy x

It was now half way though the kids half term and they were already getting bored so Nick and Zoe had decided to book a few days off work to spend some quality time with them. Nick had decided to take Phoebe and Ollie for their regular swimming lessons this afternoon whilst Zoe stayed at home.

"Hi mum" Maisie called as she entered the house through the front door. She had just been dropped off by Mollie and her mum after spending the morning at their house.

"Hi sweetheart" Zoe called from the front room, where she was sat relaxing with her feet up on the sofa, cup of coffee in one hand watching the TV enjoying her moment of peace and quiet.

Maisie took off her shoes and dumped her coat and bag on the stairs before joining her mum on the sofa.

"Did you have a nice time?" Zoe asked, smiling at her.

"Yeah" Maisie simply replied, quickly turning to watch the TV as she spoke.

"You've not been gone very long" Zoe pointed out. She usually wanted to spend the whole day at Mollie's house, it was always such a task for them to try and get her back home and today she'd only been gone for 2 hours.

"We just got bored" Maisie lied, but Zoe could see right through this.

"You're never bored at Mollie's" Zoe said, trying to get to the bottom of what was up with her "Have you fallen out?" She asked.

Maisie shook her head "No" she reassured her.

"What's up Mais?" Zoe once again questioned "I know when somethings bothering you"

"It's really embarrassing" Maisie said not wanting to look at her mum. She was never usually embarrassed about anything and was always open about most subjects.

Zoe was surprised that she was embarrassed, she'd never said this before about anything. "Maisie, I'm a doctor I've seen embarrassing on a whole new level, I'm sure it's not that bad" She tried to reassure her so that she would open up to her about it.

"I think I started my period and I was really embarrassed so I just wanted to come home" Maisie told her, speaking really fast as she did.

Zoe could see how this was an awkward subject for her to talk about, "Oh sweetheart come here" She said gesturing for her to move closer as she wrapped her arms around her into a hug "there's nothing to be embarrassed about, it's all part of growing up"

Maisie laughed slightly in relief, she was glad that her mum was so understanding and she suddenly felt more comfortable to talk to her about it, "I know but it's scary" She admitted.

Zoe chuckled "I know it is first time, I'll go and get you a pad" She told her.

"Thanks" Maisie smiled as her mum got up and left the room.

It didn't take long until she came back downstairs to Maisie who was still sitting in the same position on the sofa, "Right I've put a pad on your bed for you to put on now and the rest are in your bedside draw for when need them again" Zoe explained.

"OK, what do I do with it?" Maisie asked, slightly confused as she had never seen one before, she didn't even know what it looked like.

"You just take it out of the paper and pull the sheet off the back like you would a sticker and It'll just stick into the lining of your pants" Zoe informed her.

"OK" Maisie nodded as she headed upstairs to get changed.

She then came back downstairs now changed into something more comfortable from her jeans which was her onesie and she sat back down on the sofa beside Zoe.

"Have you got stomach cramps?" Zoe asked her.

"Yeah a little" Maisie nodded.

"I'll get you some paracetamol" She said getting up from the sofa.

Maisie decided to lay on the sofa so that she was more comfortable, covering herself with the warm fluffy blanket which was beside her.

"Here you go" Zoe said as she came in and handed Maisie two paracetamol tablets and a glass of water to take them with, "I've made you a hot water bottle which should help to settle your cramps" She told her, handing over the hot water bottle which Maisie then rested onto her stomach underneath the blanket.

"And..." Zoe smiled, revealing what was hidden behind her back "I've got us some chocolate which is also needed for times like this" She said as she climbed into the blanket where Maisie was lying and Maisie automatically moved her head so that she was now resting against her mum.

"Thanks" Maisie smiled as her mum handed her some chocolate.

"Chocolate is a life saver when you're on your period" Zoe said in all seriousness.

"Good job I like chocolate then" Maisie laughed as she put several pieces in her mouth, "Do you give all your patients chocolate?" She joked.

Zoe chuckled "No only special girls" she said turning to look at Maisie as they both smiled at each other.

"Mum you won't tell dad I've started my period will you?" Maisie asked, seeming slightly worried and unsure about it.

"No not if you don't want me too" Zoe reassured her "Why don't you want him to know?" she asked, as Maisie usually told her dad everything.

"I'm just embarrassed" She admitted.

"He knows you're growing up darling, it's natural, you're nearly a teenager now" Zoe said.

"I know, but I know he still see's me as his little girl" Maisie replied.

"You'll always be his little girl no matter if you're 12 or 30" Zoe told her

"I suppose" Maisie smiled.

"So are their any cute boys at your school?" Zoe asked nudging Maisie playfully.

Maisie grinned, "Well there is this one cute guy in my class called Harry but he's going out with Emily" She explained to her mum, her facial expression dropping as she spoke.

"If you want him you have to go and get him" Zoe advised as she noticed her expression drop.

Maisie laughed at her response "well thanks for that advice mum"

"You know I'm always here if you want to chat about anything" She reassured her, making sure she knew that she always had somebody to talk to.

"I know" Maisie smiled looking up at Zoe, she loved being able to openly talk to her about anything, she was always so understanding, "I love you" She told her.

Zoe smiled, it meant so much when Maisie told her this, "I love you too sweetie" She replied, kissing the top of her head.

Maisie then cheekily took the remaining chocolate from Zoe's hand, "Oi missy" Zoe chuckled, tickling Maisie to try and prize the chocolate back from her, which caused her to laugh hysterically, and Zoe loved it when she laughed, she had such a beautiful smile.
