George was getting ready to go out to work for the last workday of the week, he was sat down at the table with his toasted bacon sandwich and his cup of tea reading the daily mail with the radio in the background. As he finished eating and drinking he heard the post fall on the floor.

He went down the hall to pick up the post and saw many bills and another letter this time he knew it was his daughter as it had the army print on it. He quickly opened the letter reading it.

Hi Mom and Dad,

Well it's been a busy few months out here in Afghanistan, the enemies have attacked camp many times, few more cuts and bruises but I'm okay. I'm more than okay as I've been asked to go on to an army funded training scheme.

The training scheme is based in Edinburgh I know that's not far from where we live. However I've been in Scotland for nearly 6 weeks and I feel now is the time to contact you, the training course finishes this Friday and we leave a lunchtime, I'm hoping to come home if your have me.

I've been officially discharged from the army as of lunchtime on Friday. Please phone the base and get a message to me on the number above if you can, if you can't I'll find a hostel instead.

Thanks…. love you

George looked at the letter not once in all the years of notes did she say she loved them, but was this because she wanted something he didn't know. He didn't have the heart to say no and left his number with the base to be passed on to Nikki. At this point he then left for work locking the house up.

As soon as George got to school he went straight up to Christine's office.

"Morning how was Liam this morning?"

"He was good didn't sleep so well though" Christine replied

"We still on for tonight round at mine?"

"Of course"

"I don't know what time she's turning up but apparently my daughters coming to live with me long story should be short term"

"Oh okay…you didn't tell me much about her I know she's in the army I've seen the pictures"

"Well she's been discharged from service after this training scheme which finishes at lunchtime"

"What and you have no details?"

"Nope, there very secretive"

"Right well we will see what happens then" she smiled

….

It was midday and Nikki had been released from the camp and made her way in the car to the address supplied on the message. She saw an off licence on the way and pulled in going in and grabbing a bottle of vodka and a four pack of beer as well as a packet of 20 B&H Gold. She loved the freedom of just going to buy things when she wanted. She then continued to the house and pulled into the large drive. She turned the engine off and broke open a can of beer looking at her old house she used to live in taking in the flavour and smiled glad to be out of service.

…..

"Right then I'll go and pick up liam and then I'll be over okay" Christine smiled at George

"yeah sure I better go and see where Nikki is at"

"Alright text me if you want a night in with her"

"Will do, see you later"

"Bye" Christine smiled watching him leave, she did secretly fancy Mr Windsor.

George smiled back and exited the school carrying his briefcase and fishing for his keys from his pocket whilst walking to his car. He got in and drove off towards his house. When he pulled up he saw another car in the drive and Nikki was on the doorstep now sitting next to two large army bags and 4 empty cans of beer, half a bottle of vodka and a packet of cigarettes.

"Nikki?" He asked getting out the car

"hello jdad" Nikki replied drunk

"Are you okay?"

"yeah i'm fibne" Nikki replied again

"No your not have you drunk all this"

"qthis si lighrt bi'm perfectly sober"

"Clearly come on get into the house"

Nikki stood up swaying slightly

"And bring your rubbish with you" he sighed picking up one of her bags and dropping it in the hall.

Nikki took one stepped and tripped into the house giggling as she tried but couldn't get up. George was getting angry and pulled her up sitting on the stairs. He got a glass of water and shoved it in her hand "Drink this and your sober up"

Nikki just laughed and started to drink it.

Meanwhile George got his phone out 'Nikkis home, shes totally smashed! Still come over hopefully I'll be able to sort her out! X'

'oh George is it wise with Liam? X'

'you know I wouldn't let Liam come here if it was unsafe, it will be okay I promise x'

Nikki stood up about ten minutes later not feeling as drunk.

"How you doing now?"

"My head is killing"

"I'm not surprised, come on come through to the lounge and ill get you a cuppa" George said as Nikki stood and went through to the lounge and sat down.

George bought her in a cup of tea as the bell for the front door went. He smiled going to answer it. "Hello, hows daddy's favourite little boy" He smiled picking him up as he giggled

"his had a very good day at nursery" she smiled

"That's really good, come on into the lounge" George smiled leading her through "Nikki this is Christine my boss and my son Liam"

Nikki smiled standing "its lovely to meet you" she said putting her hand out, Christine shook it smiling and as they let go Nikki threw up all over Christine. Christine couldn't believe it she just looked at Nikki.

"Oh Nikki for goodness sake!" George said putting Liam on the floor.

"I need to get out these clothes" Christine said angrily

"I'm so sorry, look you can have some of mine" Nikki said reaching into her bag and getting out a clean pair of jeans and a top "it should fit I hope"

Christine snatched the clothes and went upstairs.

"Well that was a good introduction wasn't it" George sighed

"Shut up dad. Wheres mom? Who even are these people?" She yelled at him

"Your mother is living with her new husband and two children, Christine is my best mate and this is Liam my son"

"This family is so fucked up" Nikki screamed "Which room is mine?"

"Your old room is yours"

"Fine!" She said grabbing her bags and going upstairs. She slammed the door as Christine came out the bathroom.

"Shes a bit of a loose cannon" Christine said coming downstairs

"Things will get better im sorry"

"Its fine George I know you weren't to know, these clothes are a bit tight"

"but your okay with them?"

"its better than nothing"
