Part 21

Chapter 55

    Callum woke feeling a little stiff from spending so much time making Jayden feel good after they got home from the club the night before. Then he remembered that he was still wearing the blond wig, and the breast forms attached, so he was actually still Kara, and would be for the rest of the day. He was soon turning his head to look at the still sleeping form of Jayden next to him, or her as it was for the most part.

    There was no need to rush this morning like there was Monday morning, and Kara wouldn’t have to go away to let Callum head off to work. No Kara was going to have a fun day shopping with her girlfriends. Kara was soon leaning over to kiss Jayden on the lips. Jayden let out a soft moan and was soon wrapping her arms around Kara, and they picked right back up where they left off when they fell asleep.

    All the others were already in the kitchen sat around the table talking about the barbecue, and what they needed to buy, or get sorted when Kara and Jayden finally showed their faces.

     “Morning!” Everyone shouted at the same time as they walked in to the kitchen and sat down at the table next to each other.

     “Morning. Sorry about getting up so late.” Jayden said looking very sheepish.

     “Don’t wory about it sis.” Chrissy smiled from across the other side of the table. “We’re just making a list of things we need to buy for the barbecue on Sunday.” Chrissy added.

    Mandy was sat with a note pad in front of her writing down things as the others shouted them out.

     “Are we going food shopping then today?” Jayden asked with a little disappointment in her voice. Jayden had been looking forward to going clothes shopping with Kara, not food shopping.

     “No, we’re just sorting out the list so Becky can grab it all later in the week.” Mandy said, as she started writing something else down she’d just thought about.

     “Won’t she need some help? She shouldn’t be trying to do too much in her condition.” Jayden said looking worried now.

     “I will have help.” Becky smiled. “Brad will be taking me in his truck, so I’ll have the help of more than one when you think about it.” Becky added with a giggle.

    Jayden relaxed when Becky said that. “We won’t have to worry about you lifting anything heavy then or anything at all come to think about it.” Jayden said with a giggle.

     “I trust you’ll be coming to the barbecue on Sunday?” Chrissy asked Kara.

     “No, but Callum will be there if he’s invited.” Kara said with a grin.

    Jayden looked disappointed for a second until she realised that Callum was just playing around with Chrissy, and the fact that he wouldn’t be dressed like he is now. “Kara could come to the barbecue baby.” Jayden said with a smile. “She will be spending the night with me, so why not just stop for the day?” Jayden added with some hope in her voice.

     “What will everyone think when they see Kara sat in the back garden? And I’m not sure I’ll feel right being sat around dressed like this all day.” Kara said looking worried about it all.

     “No one will mind if you do want to spend all day Sunday as Kara.” Mandy said to help calm her down. “We’re all pretty open minded when it comes to things like that.” Mandy added with a grin, as she looked at Carl sat next to her.

     “I’ll think about it, but I’m not making any promises.” Was all Kara said on the subject.

    Jayden felt like pushing it, but then changed her mind when she saw the look Chrissy gave her that said, “Back off sis, you’ll scare him.” So Jayden just got up to go and do them both a slice of toast each.

     “Have you found any time to call your mother yet Kara?” Carl asked.

     “Oh, yes I did, and she was surprised to hear that you’d be sending your jet up to collect her, and that you’d be putting her up at the hotel.” Kara said with a grin, as she thought about the phone call he’d had with his mum Monday night.

     “Do you have any idea when she might be able to come down and visit?” Mandy asked this time.

     “Not yet. She’s going to have a word with her boss at work, and see when she can book some time off, so she can spend some real time with me and all of you.” Kara smiled.

    Jayden was soon making her way back to the table with toast for her and Kara. The others had already had some toast, and were now sat enjoying a second cup of tea before they went up to get ready to go out shopping. Carl was already dressed in a suit and tie, waiting for Vic to turn up, so they could go off to a meeting Carl had at lunchtime over the other side of the city.

    Mandy walked with Carl to the front door when the bell rang. Vic was stood on the other side smiling at her and Carl.

     “Morning Vic.” Mandy smiled.

     “Good morning Mandy. I hope he’s not been too much trouble for you?” Vic asked, grinning now.

     “Nothing I couldn’t handle.” Mandy purred as she wrapped her arms around Carl’s neck and leaned in closer for a kiss.

     “I’m not sure I want to know what you mean by handle, Mandy.” Vic had a worried look on his face as he said it, but he soon started grinning, so Mandy knew he was just being rude.

     “I’m sure Jenna will be more than happy to show you what I mean Vic.” Mandy said, grinning back at him.

    Vic just chuckled before speaking again. “I’m sorry to rush you Carl, but their digging up all the roads again, and it’s going to take us some time to get across to the other side of the city.”

     “I guess we better be going then, so we can get to this exciting meeting, and let you go and get ready to spend the day clothes shopping.” Carl said not looking happy about what he had to go and do, but looking happier about Mandy’s plans for the day.

     “You could always play hooky for the day and come shopping with us?” Mandy asked looking hopeful that Carl would say yes.

     “I wish I could my love, but I have to go to this meeting.” Carl said with a pained look.

     “I’ll buy you something nice while I’m out.” Mandy promised just before kissing Carl again, and then hugging Vic.

    Mandy waved to them as they drove out the drive, then she went back in the house and headed up stairs to get ready to leave the house.

     “Chrissy, would it be possible for you to do my makeup again?” Kara asked looking hopeful. “I’m still not very good doing a normal daytime look, and I feel way too nervous to do it even if I could.” She added with a little giggle.

     “Sure Kara.” Chrissy smiled. “Do you want to come in now, before you get dressed?” Chrissy asked as she waved her hand towards her and Becky’s bedroom door.

     “Okay, thanks for helping me Chrissy.” Kara smiled. “I’ll come and get dressed in your room when Chrissy’s worked her magic on me.” Kara added as she looked at Jayden.

    Jayden was going to follow them in and watch how Chrissy got the everyday look Kara had worn the last time they all went out shopping, but she got the impression that Kara didn’t want her to watch.

     “Okay baby, but don’t be too long.” Jayden said just before giving Kara a quick peck on the cheek and walking off down to her room.

    Kara followed Chrissy and Becky into their room, so Chrissy could do her makeup. Once they were in there, Chrissy sat Kara down at the dressing table and set to work.

     “Chrissy, can I ask you a question?” Kara asked while Chrissy worked on her.

     “Sure, but I can’t guarantee I’ve got the answer.” Chrissy giggled.

     “Do you think Jayden really loves me? Or does she love the Kara me more.” Kara asked with a sigh looking a little worried.

     “She loves you silly.” Chrissy said with an odd look on her face. “Kara and Callum are both part of who you are.” Chrissy added.

     “I’m not so sure Jayden sees it that way Chrissy.” Kara said still looking worried. “She seems to like having Kara around more than Callum.” Kara looked close to tears now she’d got that out in the open.

     “I think. No, I know that you have that all wrong Callum.” Chrissy said, using his name, not Kara. “Jayden is just trying to let you know that she understands about Kara, and that she’s willing to help you bring her out, so you can have some fun as her.” Chrissy added, as she wrapped her arms around Kara from behind.

     “Chrissy’s right Kara, you need to sit down and talk to Jayden about how you feel, and the worries you have.” Becky said from across the room as she sorted out something for herself and Chrissy to wear. “She may just be trying a little too hard to do what she thinks you want, so please talk to her about it.” Becky added with some pleading in her voice.

     “Okay I will. I’m just scared that she will only want Kara around one day, and I’m not sure I can do that.” Kara said as she waved a hand up and down Chrissy’s body.

    Chrissy saw a look flit across Kara’s face as she spoke, and Chrissy knew that Kara was hiding something else as well. “What else is playing on your mind Kara?” Chrissy asked looking more worried now.

    Kara just looked at Chrissy for a couple of seconds, as she tried to work out whether she should come clean about seeing Chrissy naked on Monday or not. Deciding that it would be best to get it off her chest, Kara spoke. “Chrissy, I owe you an apology for the other day.”

     “Why, what did you do?” Chrissy asked in a whisper, but was grinning as she asked.

     “I saw you naked as Jayden dragged me out the room.” Kara shot out all of a sudden. “I’m so sorry Chrissy, and feel really dirty for doing it.” Kara added as she looked down at her own lap in shame. She was soon looking back up at Chrissy again though, when she heard Chrissy speak.

     “Did you like what you saw? I hope I didn’t look fat?” Chrissy asked in mock horror as she struck a sexy pose.

     “You’re not mad with me for looking?” Kara asked in shock.

     “I’m sure I’m not the first naked female you’ve ever seen, and if I am, then I want to have a word with Jayden about her secret.” Chrissy said as she giggled “I should have waited for the two of you to leave the room before I got undressed, so I’m more to blame for it than you are Kara.”

     “I thought you looked really good Chrissy.” Kara said as she went ten shades of red.

     “Good! I think she looks amazing!” Becky shouted, as she came up behind Chrissy and wrapped her in a hug, just before running a line of kisses up the side of Chrissy’s neck.

     “Amazing is a better word for it Chrissy.” Kara smiled as she thought about the image she still had in her mind of how Chrissy looked the other day. “Until I saw you the other day, I still thought you would have a little bit of male showing in your body shape, but all I saw was a female.” Kara added as she went even redder.

     “I don’t think I was ever a male, so I never had any male shape either. I think that’s why I look so good now.” Chrissy said with a smile. “Please don’t worry about it Kara. I’m fine with what you saw; I hope it didn’t bother you too much seeing me naked?” Chrissy looked a little worried as she said it.

     “Like you said Chrissy, you’re not the first naked female I saw.” Kara hoped that the way she worded it, let Chrissy know that she just saw Chrissy as a female. “Just don’t let Jayden know that.” Kara said in a whisper, as she started grinning.

    Things lightened up after that, and Chrissy got to work again on Kara’s makeup. Kara had shaved, so Chrissy used some beard cover before getting started on the rest of her makeup. Chrissy was soon stepping back so Kara could look at the finished result.

     “You really are amazing in more ways than one Chrissy.” Kara said, as she looked at the makeup job Chrissy had just given her. Kara couldn’t see any trace of Callum, all she could see was Kara now with a natural daytime look. “Thank you Chrissy, for the makeover, and the advice.” Kara added just before pulling Chrissy into a hug.

     “You’re welcome Kara. Now go and find Jayden, and get all this silly thinking of yours put to rest.” Chrissy said in a bossy voice as she led Kara over to the bedroom door and almost pushed her out the room.

    Kara just smiled as she saw Chrissy close the bedroom door, leaving her stood alone in the hallway. Kara looked down the hallway before making her way down to Jayden’s room to get dressed, and talk things over with her.

    Jayden was just laying out an outfit for Kara on the bed when she heard a light nock, just before she saw Kara poke her head round it.

     “Wow Kara. Chrissy has really gone above and beyond with your look this time.” Jayden said with a grin, but she stopped grinning when she saw the serious look Kara had when she entered the room fully. “Is everything alright Kara?” Jayden asked with a lump in her throat.

     “I hope so Jayden, but can we sit on the bed and have a quick chat about something?” Kara asked as she walked over and sat on the bed, just before patting the bed next to her for Jayden to come and join her.

     “Okay Kara.” Jayden said, as she walked over and took the seat where Kara had just indicated. “What have I done wrong?” Jayden asked.

     “I’m not sure you’ve done anything wrong Jayden, but I’m scared that you might do in the future.” Kara said still looking worried about having this chat with Jayden.

     “I’m not following you Kara.” Jayden said looking puzzled now.

     “I’m scared Jayden. Scared that you love Kara more than you do Callum?” It was Callum that said it, as he never even tried to sound female as he spoke.

     “I love both sides of you Callum, both Kara and you.” Jayden said as she wrapped her arms around Kara and hugged her. “I’m sorry if I’ve given you any reason to think I love one side more than the other.” Jaden added as she looked deep into Kara’s eyes with the light eye makeup added to the still worried eyes staring back at her.

     “So you’ll always want Callum just as much as you do Kara?” Kara asked.

     “Yes silly.” Jayden said with a little giggle. “Who do you think I was making love to most of the night, and then again this morning?” Jayden asked with a grin.

     “I thought you saw me as Kara when I had the breast forms attached?” Kara asked her, now sporting the puzzled look Jayden had just had.

     “I know what I said Callum, but I also know that it’s just you under all that packing and makeup.” Jayden smiled. “I just thought it would make you feel more relaxed if I showed you just how willing I am to like both your sides.” Jayden added with an outright grin now.

     “So you would still want me, even if Kara went away?” Kara asked.

     “Yes I would, but I would miss going out shopping, and spending time together at the club.” Jayden said sounding sad. “I hope you’re not planning to send Kara away.” Jayden added looking worried again now.

     “No, Kara will be around for as long as you want her Jayden, but if you ever ask me to stop being her, then I would try my best to do as you ask.” Kara said looking serious again.

     “I would never do that to you. I like the way you act when you’re Kara. You let me take the lead in everything, and it’s nice to know that you have that softer side in you.” Jayden said just before leaning in to kiss Kara on the lips.

    Kara knew from that kiss, that she and Jayden would be together for a very long time to come, and Chrissy was right about Jayden just wanting to let her know that she wanted to have Kara and Callum as part of her life.

     “If everything is okay again now baby, we better see about getting dressed, or the others will be going shopping without us.” Jayden said with another worried look, but this one was just pretend, and they were soon helping each other to get dressed.

    Jayden had picked out a blue summery dress with short sleeves and little white flowers all over it, she’d also laid out a thin white cardigan to go over the top, so it didn’t show off the slightly muscular arms that Callum had. The final piece was a pair of white low heeled sandals. Once dressed, Kara looked in the mirror and smiled when Kara was stood there looking back at him from the mirror. Jayden walked over and stood next to Kara wearing a similar looking outfit.

     “Happy with the look?” Jayden asked.

     “Yes, very happy.” Kara said as she looked at Jayden in the mirror.

     “I’ve put all your bits and bobs in this purse, so we’re ready to head down and see if the others are ready to go shopping.” Jayden said the last bit with a grin.

    Kara wasn’t as worried this time, she was still a little nervous, but nowhere near as bad as the other week when Chrissy and Jayden had tricked him into spending the night as Kara, so they could then drag her out shopping. Kara was now wearing one of the dresses she’d been brought that day by Jayden.

     “I love you so much Jayden.” Kara said as she turned and wrapped her arms around Jayden’s waist and pulled her closer for a kiss.

     “I love you to Kara, Callum.” Jayden purred when they stopped kissing. “But we better get going before I get you back on that bed, and we’ll never get out the house then.” Jayden added with a grin as she handed Kara her purse and then picked up her own before dragging Kara out the room.

    Chrissy, Becky, Mandy, Amy and Amber were all stood in the hallway when Jayden and Kara walked down the stairs. Kara walked over to Chrissy and Becky, just before pulling the two of them into a hug.

     “Thank you for setting me straight over the problem I was having with Jayden.” Kara said with a smile when they stopped hugging.

     “I trust everything is okay between the two of you again then now?” Chrissy asked with a grin.

     “Yes, we got it all sorted out.” Kara had a sly look at Jayden as she said it.

    They all giggled when they saw the look, as they were also happy that Kara looked a lot happier now.

     “Come on then, let’s go and spend some money.” Mandy said with a grin as she opened the front door and let them all out the house before she armed the alarm and then locked the front door.

    They were using Mandy’s and Becky’s car’s to go into town because they wouldn’t all fit in the one car. Jayden and Kara went in Becky’s car with her and Chrissy, while Amber and Amy went with Mandy in hers. Becky let Mandy lead the way, and they were soon parking in a secure car park and making their way into the first of many shopping centres.

    Chrissy wanted to get Becky some new clothes to fit her more fuller figure, so they all followed along as Chrissy went looking at maternity wear. The others were soon wandering off and looking at baby clothes and other things Chrissy and Becky would need soon. By the time they left the first shop, all the girls had brought something for the babies, and Chrissy had got a couple of dresses and some t-shirts that let the whole world know Becky was with child, or children in Becky’s case.

    They all decided it would be a good idea to stop for some lunch before they got stuck into it properly, so they went to a restaurant and ordered some food. Once that was finished, they left the restaurant and then hit the shops for real. The girls made a couple of trips back to the cars and dropped off their bags before going at it again.

    Kara wasn’t use to walking around on heels of any size, even though the ones she had on only had a small heel, so she was soon keeping Becky company as she was getting tired due to the extra weight and the fact she couldn’t stop peeing.

     “It looks like you’re having fun Kara.” Becky said with a smile as they both watched Chrissy and Amy running off into another shoe shop.

     “I am Becky. I never realised just how much better it was being able to feel the clothes, and try them on before buying them.” Kara grinned back at her. “I think Jayden’s been buying me stuff again though, so I’ll have to have a word with her about that.” Kara added with a raised eyebrow.

    Kara was just about to say something else, but her mobile started ringing, well Callum’s mobile did. Kara looked around to make sure no one was close by, and then she answered it using Callum’s voice.

     “Hello? Callum speaking.” Callum’s voice said out of Kara’s lips.

    Becky thought Kara looked funny when she spoke in Callum’s normal voice, but she didn’t laugh, or draw attention to her.

     “Hi Baldwin. I was just wondering when you were going to be back at work you lazy sod?” Callum heard Stephen’s voice say on the other end of the phone.

     “I’ll be back at work tomorrow, not that it’s got anything to do with you.” Callum said in a firm tone.

     “No need to be like that mate, I was just worried about you.” Stephen said, but the tone didn’t match with what he’d just said.

     “Okay, well thanks for being so worried about me Stephen, and I’ll see you tomorrow at work then.” Callum said looking puzzled by the phone call.

     “Right you are mate, I’ll see you tomorrow.” Stephen said before ending the call.

    Kara just looked at the phone with a strange look on her face. “That’s got to be the weirdest call I’ve ever had.” Kara said, back in her female voice again now.

     “Wasn’t Stephen the guy from the hotel last week? The one that started shouting while you and Jayden were having a meal?” Becky asked as they started walking again, to catch up with the others.

     “Yes it was, that’s what I find so odd about the call.” Kara said looking puzzled still. “He hates my guts, so I find it hard to believe he’d be calling to see how I am.” Kara added.

     “Maybe he’s turning over a new leaf in a hope that Jayden has a friend you can set him up with.” Becky said with a grin.

     “Jayden does have friends, but you’re all taken, and if you weren’t, I still wouldn’t subject any of you to him.” Kara said with a frown.

     “Is he really that bad Kara?” Becky asked looking worried.

     “No, he’s ten times worse than the worse person you can think of Becky.” Kara replied. “Just ask Jayden how bad he is.” Kara added with a shudder.

    Kara and Becky were soon side tracked when they saw Chrissy and Amy sat with a pile of shoe boxe, and Jayden on her way over to another seat with a small pile of her own. They tried all the shoes and boots on, and then brought a couple of pairs each before leaving the shop and heading back to the cars, so Becky could go home and grab a couple of hours sleep before she got ready to go to work. Chrissy was going to join her for a nap, as she was also going into the club with Becky, so she could make sure she wasn’t trying to do too much.

    Mandy was a little worried about Chrissy trying to do too much, but no amount of talking would stop Chrissy from going to the club later with Becky.

    Becky dropped Jayden and Kara off at Callum’s house before going home. Kara was going to become Callum again before going out to dinner with Jayden. Kara had smiled when Jayden asked if she’d mind her going out with Callum for the evening instead of Kara.

    Chrissy and Becky went to bed once they got home, and put all the shopping they had brought away. Mandy went to sit in the kitchen and chat with Amber and Amy while they sorted out what to make for dinner.

    Ann had sent Amy a text message to let her know that she’d be having dinner with Brad, but would be home later in the night.

    Chrissy and Becky came down for dinner, and then went up to get ready to go to the club. Vicky came to pick them up and was shocked to see Chrissy going in again, but didn’t mind the extra company in the car, or the extra help Becky would have. Mandy, Amy and Amber gave them all a hug before waving them off and then returning to the living room to watch some telly for the rest of the night.

 

Chapter 56

    Mandy was sat at the kitchen table the next morning while Amy and Amber sorted out breakfast when Chrissy and Becky entered the kitchen.

     “Morning everyone.” Chrissy said with a smile, as she went over to start helping Amber and Amy with breakfast after stopping off at Mandy to give her a good morning hug. “Good morning sis.” Chrissy added as she gave her sister a quick peck on the cheek.

     “Good morning baby sister. How was the club last night?” Mandy asked as she smiled up at Chrissy.

     “It was okay, not to busy, so I got to spend lots of time walking round with Becky.” Chrissy grinned.

     “Wednesdays are normally quiet, so it was nice to spend time with Chrissy.” Becky smiled.

     “Will you be okay to work today sis?” Mandy asked with some worry on her face.

     “Yes. I feel fine, so stop worrying about me.” Chrissy said in a dismissive way as she walked over to give Amber and Amy a hug before helping them sort out breakfast.

     “That’s never going to happen baby sister.” Mandy smiled. “You like to get in to much trouble for me to ever stop worrying about you.” Mandy added with a giggle.

     “Me, Trouble?” Chrissy asked looking shocked. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Chrissy added as she turned to start helping with breakfast.

    Becky walked over to help out, but Chrissy led her back to the table, so she could relax until breakfast was ready. “I’m capable of helping to cook breakfast baby. I won’t break.” Becky protested as Chrissy made her take a seat at the table next to Mandy.

     “I’m sure you are my love, but I plan to err on the side of caution and make you rest as much as I can.” Chrissy said, not looking like she was about to let Becky help still.

    Chrissy was soon helping Amber and Amy while they all danced around to music playing on the radio. The music was loud enough, that Mandy and Becky could talk in a lowered voice and not be over heard by Chrissy and the other two.

     “Do you not think Chrissy is pushing herself a little hard with helping out at the club, and now stopping you from helping out with breakfast?” Mandy asked.

     “Yes I do, but I think the stuff mum said to her, has made her want to go above and beyond to stop me doing too much, and also show that she can help me do less.” Becky said with a sad look at Mandy.

     “I was worried about this happening when mum started in on her the other day.” Mandy said with a sigh. “Got any great ideas on how to make her slow down, and stop worrying about it so much?” Mandy asked.

     “Not at the minute Mandy, but I’ll give it some thought over the next couple of days.” Becky said as she looked over at Chrissy dancing around with Amy and Amber.

    Ann and Jayden walked into the kitchen just as the girls were dishing up, so they all sat and enjoyed a nice breakfast while Ann and Jayden filled everyone in on what they had been doing the night before. Ann had been at the club, so there wasn’t much to say, but Jayden had been out for a nice candle lit dinner with Callum, and then gone on to a club where they could do some slow romantic dancing before Callum dropped her off at just before midnight.

    Once they had all finished breakfast, and Chrissy had been dragged up to finish getting ready for work. Becky made a start on washing the dishes. Ann, Amber and Jayden had all left for work already. Chrissy was soon back down fully dressed and ready to leave, but she still had time to help dry the dishes for Becky before she did.

    Becky hugged and kissed Chrissy at the front door, and then watched Mandy drag her over to her car and help her to get in before waving at Becky and getting in herself. Becky waved to them as they drove out the driveway, then she went back in the house to get ready for when Brad turned up, so they could go and get the food shopping done for the barbecue on Sunday.

    Mandy drove round to Mable’s, so Chrissy could spend a little time with her mum and dad before they went to the shop.

    Greg was looking well and he’d had a good night sleep as well, so Chrissy was happy to see him sat having a heated debate with David about some soccer player being better than another one.

    They stopped for half an hour before leaving again so they could get to the shop and make a start on the orders for the changing service and the internet. Hope was waiting out side in her people carrier when Mandy pulled up, so Chrissy and Amy were quick to get out the car and then get the shop opened up. Little Kat was grinning as she saw Chrissy and Amy walk over to help get Kat and her little backpack out the car and into the shop.

     “Hello’s Aunty Chrissy, Aunty Amy.” Kat said with a grin as she let Amy pick her up and carry her into the shop while Chrissy grabbed the little pink backpack that held Kat’s colouring books and crayons.

    Holly just smiled as she locked the car up and followed Chrissy into the back of the shop. Hope loved the way Kat had taken to calling all the girls Aunty, and she loved the way Chrissy and Amy always made time for her when she came to the shop with her while she worked on the accounts for the them.

     “Thank you for the invite to the barbecue.” Hope smiled. “I told Kat about the barbecue, and the bouncy castle, and she’s not stopped talking about it since I told her the other night.” Hope added with a giggle.

     “So you’re all excited about going on a bouncy castle then are you?” Amy asked as she spun around the room with Kat still in her arms.

     “Yes, yes!” Kat said looking even more excited. “I see other kids play on big castle, but mummy say I not big enough to go on one.” Kat added with a pout.

     “Your mummy was right to stop you Kat, but this bouncy castle will be just for you and Cathleen.” Amy said with a grin.

     “You and Aunty Chrissy come on too?” Kat asked looking hopeful.

     “Do you want Chrissy and I to come on the bouncy castle with you?” Amy asked with an even bigger grin.

     “Yes I do’s silly!” Kat said as she started clapping her hands together with even more excitement now.

     “Who you calling silly? Little missy.” Amy asked, just before she started tickling Kat’s belly just after seating her at the table.

    Kat was soon filling the room with her musical little laugh as she tried to make Amy stop, but not doing a very good job of it. “I sorry Aunty Amy, I sorry.” Kat squealed out between giggles.

    Apology accepted.” Amy smiled as she leaned down and gave Kat a little hug.

    Chrissy put Kat’s little backpack on the empty seat next to Kat, and then helped her get out a colouring book. Once Kat was sat colouring, she went to join Amy and Mandy, so they could make a start on the orders while they waited for the kettle to boil. Hope made them all a cup of tea, and got Kat a juice drink out the fridge. Hope had dropped into the routine of making the drink while the others got sorted out ready for when they’d had their drink.

     “Do you need me to bring anything on Sunday?” Hope asked, as they sat with their drinks.

     “Nope, just you, Faith, and this little monster here.” Chrissy said with a grin as she quickly tickled Kat.

    Kat giggled and tried to tickle Chrissy back, but she couldn’t do it very well due to her little hands, and the fact that Chrissy was wearing a corset, and Kat was trying to tickle Chrissy’s side. “You not play fair.” Kat pouted as she poked the stiff armour like material under Chrissy’s blouse.

     “You just need to know where to tickle her.” Amy whispered in Kat’s ear, just before she tickled Chrissy under her arm pit.

    Chrissy let out a little squeal as she tried to move out of Amy’s reach, but Mandy was sat the other side, so she was pinned in place. Kat giggled when she saw Chrissy act like she did, but Kat was soon getting some revenge as she tickled Chrissy under her arm. Chrissy would giggle, which set Kat off even more, then Amy was giggling as well when Chrissy showed Kat that Amy was even more ticklish than she was.

    They all finished their drinks and then got back to work, and Kat got back to colouring in her picture. Chrissy and Amy would stop every now and then to make sure Kat wasn’t getting board, and they would even let her help print out the internet orders for them once the changing service orders were ready to be collected.

    Hope and Kat stopped to have some lunch with Chrissy, Amy and Mandy, so Carl had extra’s put in to keep Kat happy. She had her own little lunch box with a drink and little sandwiches they knew Kat would eat, and a little fruit salad and a yogurt to dip the fruit in. Kat always ate it all, and then she would wander up to the shop with Chrissy and Amy to buy a little bag of sweats. Hope always smiled when she saw her daughter wandering off out the shop holding Chrissy’s hand one side, and Amy’s on the other.

    Becky had just finished getting ready and put the shopping list in her purse when the doorbell rang. She went to the door and found Brad stood on the other side with Frank stood next to him, both of them sporting big grins on their faces.

     “Morning Brad, Frank.” Becky smiled. “I wasn’t expecting to see you here this morning.” Becky said as she looked at Frank.

     “Morning boss. Brad told me what you were doing today, and I said I’d come and help out.” Frank said, but he gave Brad a strange sideways look as he said it, like he wasn’t telling it right and he didn’t want Brad to say anything.

     “Thanks Frank, but do you care to tell me the real reason for the extra help?” Becky asked with a raised eyebrow. “I find it hard to believe you’d just volunteer to go shopping.” Becky added.

    Frank was about to speak again, but stopped when Brad spoke up first. “You may as well come clean Frank, she’ll just trick you into telling her later, and it was a lame excuse.” Brad chuckled. “Me need help with lifting a little shopping.” Brad scoffed.

     “Okay, okay. Chrissy came and asked me to help out, just to make sure you didn’t try and do too much while you were picking the stuff up for the barbecue, and the other shopping you needed to get done today.” Frank said with a sigh.

     “There are days when I could kill that wife of mine.” Becky said with some anger in her voice. “I’m not made of glass. I won’t break if I try to do something.” Becky added as she walked back into the house, so she could make sure she had the shopping list, and her purse.

     “Don’t be too hard on Chrissy boss.” Brad said. “She’s just worried about you and the babies. I think Prue’s put the fear of god into her after the other day.” Brad added as he helped Becky step out of the house after she armed the alarm system.

     “I know that Brad, but I’m just getting a little sick of her wrapping me in cotton wool.” Becky said with a sigh as she locked the front door and then let Brad and Frank lead her over to Brad’s truck.

    Frank helped her get in the back passenger seat of the truck before he got in the front one. Brad got in the driver’s side and then set off towards the place Carl had told him to go to, so he could pick up the meat.

     “So you know all about Sunday then Frank?” Becky asked, not sure if Brad had told him about the ring, and what he planned to do.

     “Yes, he told me all about the engagement.” Frank said with a grin as he looked over his shoulder at Becky sat in the back behind Brad. “None of the others know about it though. The kid wants to make sure Ann’s going to say yes first.” Frank added with a chuckle, like it was a foregone conclusion what the answer was going to be already.

     “Ann may not want to settle down yet Frank, so she could still say no to me.” Brad wasn’t taking anything for granted at this point.

     “Trust me kid, I saw the look in her eyes when Amy got married. She’s going to say yes to you.” Frank said, sounding very sure of himself.

     “This is the one time I really wish you're right Frank; I really wish you’re right.” Brad said with a quick glance over at him before her looked back at the road again.

    Brad was soon pulling into a car park outside a large meat market and they got out. Becky went into the place first and spoke with a man for a couple of minutes, then the man walked off and came back with a trolley full of white polystyrene boxes full of meat for her. Carl had already sorted out payment, so Frank grabbed the trolley and wheeled it out to Brad’s truck.

    Becky got to stand and watch while Brad and Frank load it all into the back of the truck. Frank took the trolley back, while Brad closed and locked the back of the truck up again. Then they were all back in the truck and heading to the next place on her list.

    As mad as Becky had felt with Chrissy to start with, she was soon glad to have the two men with her. Becky thought the two of them looked funny as they walked around a Costco, each of them pushing a trolley while she pointed at what she wanted. Becky had tried to pick up a couple of things, but soon gave up when Frank or Brad would jump in and stop her.

    By the time they got to the bottom of the large list, the back of Brad’s truck was full, so they made their way back to Becky’s to unload it all. Once again Becky ended up stood in the kitchen or one of the other rooms where they kept the second freezer while Brad and Frank put stuff away.

     “Thanks for all the help guy’s.” Becky smiled as she gave each of them a hug. “Please let me make you a spot of lunch?” Becky asked looking hopeful.

     “I won’t say no, not after looking at all that food this morning.” Frank groaned as he put a hand on his rumbling belly. It was as if it knew what Becky had just asked, and was answering for him.

     “Do you want me to sort it out boss?” Brad asked.

     “I am quite capable of making a sandwich Brad.” Becky said with a frown as she turned to look at him again. “I think you’re all taking the not letting me do anything too far.” Becky added as she walked over to get the things she needed to make them all something to eat.

    Becky grabbed a large French stick and then set about making a plate full of chicken salad sandwiches for them all. Frank and Brad got stuck in as soon as Becky put the plate down on the table.

     “Thanks boss.” Brad said between bites. “This tastes really good.” He added.

     “Yes, thanks boss. You sure know how to make a mean sandwich.” Frank said as he held up what was left of his sandwich.

     “Thanks guy’s, it’s the least I can do after all the help you gave me this morning.” Becky smiled as she nibbled at hers.

    Becky poured them all a glass of milk out and then sat back down again to enjoy a chocolate chip cookie after the sandwiches were all gone. Frank and Brad helped her finished the packet off before they left to let her get some more sleep before work later in the evening.

     “Thanks again for all the help Frank, Brad.” Becky smiled as she led them to the door.

     “Think nothing of it Becky. I’d be glad to help out more often if I get fed like that again.” Frank said with a grin as he stepped outside followed by Brad.

     “I’m with Frank on that one boss. Just give me a call the next time you want to go shopping.” Brad added.

     “I’ll bare that in mind.” Becky giggled. “Now go and get some rest before work tonight.” Becky added, playing the boss again.

     “I do feel a nap coming on after eating all that food.” Frank was grinning as he followed Brad over to his truck.

     “That’s called getting old, old man.” Brad said with a grin.

     “Hey! I can still teach you a couple of things pup.” Frank shot back with a chuckle, just before giving him a shove.

     “In your dreams old man.” Brad teased as he went to push Frank back, but Frank was too fast and he soon had Brad in a head lock.

     “Well someone pinch me, I must be dreaming.” Frank bragged as he turned around to smile at Becky still stood in the doorway giggling at the pair of them playing around.

     “What did you put in that sandwich boss?” Brad asked as he tried to look up so he could see Becky giggling at them.

     “Nothing that I didn’t put in yours Brad.” Becky shouted.

     “You’re still scary fast old man.” Brad said when Frank released his head and let him stand up fully again.

     “Sure am, and don’t you forget it pup.” Frank chuckled some more. “See you later boss!” Frank added just before getting in the truck.

     “Yep, see you later boss!” Brad shouted as he rubbed his neck where Frank had just been gripping it. Brad still looked a little shocked that Frank had got him in a head lock so easily.

    Becky just waved at them before going back in the house and locking the front door and going back to bed for a while. Becky was thinking about how easy Frank had made it look getting the upper hand on Brad. “I guess Brad still has something to learn from Frank, even now.” Becky said to no one but herself.

    Chrissy was just making her, Amy and Mandy a cup of tea mid afternoon when she heard her mobile ringing, so she ran over to it, worried that something was wrong with her dad, or Becky. Chrissy let out a sigh of relief when she saw it was Debbie calling her.

     “Hi Debbie, you any closer to dropping that baby yet?” Chrissy asked with a giggle.

     “Yes she is, and she has.” A male voice said on the other end of the phone.

     “Vin, is that you?” Chrissy asked.

     “Hi Chrissy. Yes it’s me. I just wanted to let you know that Debbie and the baby are doing just fine.” Vin said sounding happy, but worn out at the same time.

     “Debbie’s had the baby!” Chrissy shouted as she looked toward the front of the shop where Amy and Mandy were still sorting out the last of the internet orders.

    Chrissy asked some questions and found out as much info as she could before letting Vin go and call some others that needed to know. Amy and Mandy were both stood waiting for all the details when Chrissy ended the call.

     “Well? Give us all the details.” Amy said bouncing up and down on the spot.

     “Okay, okay, I’ll tell you what he told me, but he had other people to call, so couldn’t give me too much info right now.” Chrissy said, as she tried to calm Amy down. “He said he’d make sure to get Debbie to call us later, and he’ll take some photos on his phone later and send them to my phone as well.” Chrissy added as she led Amy over to the table in the back room.

     “Was it a boy then?” Amy asked.

     “Yes she had a boy, and he’s the spitting image of Vin. He was seven pounds eight ounces and has a good set of lungs on him.” Chrissy giggled.

     “He sounds so cute, when can we go and see him?” Amy pleaded.

     “I’m not too sure, but I’ll have a word with Carl or Carla tonight at the club.” Chrissy smiled.

     “What? You’re going to the club again tonight?” Mandy asked looking shocked by the news. “I don’t think it’s fair for Becky to punish you this much for what happened.” Mandy added with some anger in her voice now.

     “I’m not doing it because I’m being punished sis. I just want to help Becky out as much as I can.” Chrissy said in a firm voice. “It’s my choice to make, and I’m still pulling my weight here at the shop.” Chrissy added.

     “I know you are at the minute sis, but you’ll wear yourself out if you keep pushing it like you are.” Mandy said looking worried for her baby sister.

     “If I start feeling bad, then I’ll rethink it all, but until then, I’ll be going to the club with Becky every night.” Chrissy said it in such a way, as it meant the talk was over about her working at the club.

     “I’ll be keeping an eye on you sis, and for the record, I think the reason behind all this is wrong.” Mandy said in a firm voice herself now. “I think you’re doing a great job of looking after Becky without you going and doing her job at the club as well.” Mandy added.

    Amy cold see that this was going to keep going around in circles, so she asked some more questions about Debbie’s baby. “How long was Debbie in labour for Chrissy?”

     “Vin never said, but I bet we’ll find out later when we speak to Debbie about it.” Chrissy said, glad of the subject change.

    Mandy just looked at Amy with daggers, she wasn’t happy with the subject change. Mandy was worried about all the hours Chrissy was putting in with her dad, Becky and the shop. Mandy found herself getting angry with her mum again, for ever having a go at Chrissy now, she knew how Chrissy was going to take being told she was making things worse for Becky with all the stress she was putting on Becky.

    Once they had everything ready to go out in the post, they got the shop locked up and then made their way to the post office before going home. Chrissy was shocked when Mandy refused to take her to Mable’s though.

     “Why aren’t we going to Mable’s sis?” Chrissy asked.

     “Because you’re going home and going back to bed for a couple of hours.” Mandy snapped. “I may not be able to stop you going to the club with Becky every night of the week, but I’m damn sure going to make sure you get as much sleep as you can. So if you want to keep calling in to see your mum and dad on the way home, then you rethink working with Becky every night at the club.” Mandy felt quite smug, she was hoping to stop Chrissy working herself so hard by using the mum and dad card on her.

     “I guess I’ll just have to settle for seeing them in the morning then.” Chrissy said looking angry as she folded her arms across her chest like a child would, who didn’t get their own way.

     “God you can be so pig headed when you want to be.” Mandy said in frustration as she drove towards home.

     “I must get that from you then sis.” Chrissy said as she turned to look at Mandy as she stuck her tongue out at her.

    Mandy looked angry for a second, bur was soon giggling when she saw Chrissy stick her tongue out. “You can be such a child at times sis.” Mandy said with a sigh when she stopped giggling.

     “I’m sorry for having a go at you Mandy, and I know that you’re just worried about me.” Chrissy smiled at her. “Please don’t make me choose between my dad, and making sure Becky isn’t trying to do too much.” Chrissy pleaded.

     “And who stops you from trying to do too much baby sister?” Mandy asked as they stopped at a set of lights.

     “That’s what I have you for sis.” Chrissy said with a grin.

     “Hey! Don’t forget about me. I want to help out as well.” Amy said from the back seat.

     “Well the ruling stands then baby sister, for as long as you want to keep helping Becky at the club, you will not be going to see your mum and dad on the way home from work.” Mandy used her; this is my final word on the subject voice as she said it.

    Chrissy wanted to try and argue with Mandy on the subject, but knew she didn’t have any point to argue with. Anything she tried to use would only give Mandy another reason for her not to keep helping Becky at the club, so she just let out a sigh and watched the streets go by as they got closer to home.

    Becky was still in bed when they got home, so Mandy sent Chrissy straight up stairs to spend some time cuddled up to Becky. Mandy knew that Chrissy always slept better when Becky was there with her.

     “What about sorting out dinner?” Chrissy asked.

     “I’m sure Amy will be happy to help out while you’re working two jobs.” Mandy said as she pushed Chrissy towards the stairs. “Now get that butt of yours up the stairs and into bed.” Mandy added in a bossy big sister voice.

    Not wanting to find out what Mandy had planned if she didn’t get up to bed, Chrissy took the steps two at a time. She slowed as she got to her bedroom door and slowly opened it to see where Becky was. Becky was still fast asleep, so Chrissy did a quick makeup removal and then slipped out of her work clothes and then slipped into bed next to Becky.

    Becky never fully woke up, but she did let out a pleasant moan when Chrissy cuddled up to her. Chrissy must have been more tired than she realised, because she was soon fast asleep as well.

    Mandy and Amy were shocked at the amount of food Becky had brought when they looked in the kitchen cupboards and then both chest freezers. “Do you think she left anything in the supermarket?” Amy asked with a raised eyebrow.

     “I doubt it, but look at it this way baby sister. At least we won’t go hungry for a couple of weeks.” Mandy said with a grin.

    Not being the cook, Mandy went and sat at the kitchen table, and chattered with Amy while she worked out what she was going to do for dinner. Amy decided to do salad and baked potatoes, and some gammon steaks she’d found in the fridge. Amy had a good idea that this is what Becky was planning to do anyway.

    Becky woke to find Chrissy cuddled up to her, and it took her a couple of seconds to realise what day it was, she then looked over at the clock and saw she’d slept later than she wanted to. Becky then realised that Chrissy was in bed with her, and still fast asleep. Becky tried to pull herself away from Chrissy, but Chrissy just let out a moan and held her even tighter.

     “Looks like I’m stopping in bed for a little longer then.” Becky thought to herself. “Well I might as well make the most of it.” Becky cuddled up to Chrissy even more and was soon falling back to sleep again.

    Chrissy was woken up when she felt Becky pulling herself away from her, and dashing off to use the bathroom. Chrissy rubbed her eyes and then staggered out of bed herself and ran over to the bathroom herself, to make sure Becky was alright.

     “What’s wrong baby?” Chrissy asked in a dry croaky voice, as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes still. “Did I hurt you while you were in bed?” Chrissy added looking worried.

     “No, don’t be silly. I just really needed to pee.” Becky said with a sigh as she let the dam burst at last.

     “Wow, you really did need to go.” Chrissy said with wide eyes, just before she started giggling at the look Becky now had.

     “I’ve needed to go for some time, but I didn’t want to wake you up, and you were hugging me pretty tight, so I waited as long as I could.” Becky said as she wiped herself and then got dressed again.

     “Sorry, I should have known better than to hug you while you slept.” Chrissy said looking upset with herself now for stopping Becky getting to the bathroom sooner.

     “Hey! Don’t be like that baby. I love you hugging me like you do, so don’t even think about stopping.” Becky said as she stopped Chrissy leaving the bathroom and pulled her in closer for a kiss.

     “Okay, I’ll keep hugging you while you sleep, but in future, just let me know you need the bathroom. Don’t think about holding it.” Chrissy said in a firm voice as she hugged Becky back.

     “Alright, I promise to not hold it, and I’ll go to the bathroom right away.” Becky purred in Chrissy’s ear.

     “How did the shopping go?” Chrissy asked as Becky led her back to the bedroom.

     “It went fine, but I’m not happy with you for talking Frank into coming along, as well as Brad.” Becky said with her hands on her hips.

     “Did he come in handy?” Chrissy asked.

     “Yes, but that’s not the point.” Becky tried to argue.

     “I think that is the point. If you made use of him, then there was too much for just you and Brad to deal with.” Chrissy argued back. “I’ve told you that I’m not going to give anyone, anymore reasons to think of me as a bad person.” Chrissy added.

     “No one does think of you as a bad person Chrissy.” Becky pleaded. “Well except maybe you, but that doesn’t count.” Becky added with a pointed finger at Chrissy to stop her saying anything.

     “Great, you sound just like Mandy does now.” Chrissy said with a roll of her eyes as she sat down on the bed.

     “Why? What’s Mandy been saying to you?” Becky asked as she sat down on the bed next to Chrissy and wrapped an arm around her.

     “Mandy won’t let me go and see my mum and dad on the way home from work, not while I’m going to be going to the club at night with you.” Chrissy said with a pout.

     “She’s just worried about you baby, just like I am, and I know the others are worried as well.” Becky said in a soothing voice. “You can’t keep working days at the shop, and then coming with me to the club in the evenings, and still fit in seeing your mum and dad twice a day.” Becky added.

     “I know that, so I’ve told Mandy that I’ll just see them in the morning before I go to work.” Chrissy said when she realised that Becky was not going to be the one to talk Mandy into letting her go and see her mum and dad in the evening. Chrissy knew that no one was going to argue in her defence on that issue.

     “You don’t have to be at the club all the time with me either baby. I’m sure I’d be fine if you wanted to take a break and get some more rest.” Becky said it in some hope that Chrissy would ease up on all the hours she was now working, but Becky also knew it was a waste of time even trying.

     “I’m not taking the chance, so for as long as you’re working at the club while you’re pregnant, I’ll be there helping you.” Chrissy said in such a way as to make it final on the subject.

     “You can be really pig headed at times. Do you know that?” Becky said with some frustration in her voice.

     “Yes, I’m getting that a lot today.” Chrissy said with a sarcastic smile as she got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to use the toilet herself. Chrissy was thinking about how Mandy had said the same thing in the car coming home from work.

    Becky just sat on the bed shaking her head from side to side, as she watched Chrissy walk into the bathroom and close the door behind her. Becky knew she had to find some way to make Chrissy stop trying so hard, but all the plans she’d thought of had just been blown out the water.

    The only plans Becky still had left to her was to stop Chrissy going to the club with her by telling her straight out, but that would only make Chrissy mad, or even more upset. Or the other option was for Becky to be at the club a little less, so she could then force Chrissy to relax a little more. Chrissy coming back out the bathroom broke Becky out of her thoughts, and they both went down to see if they could help with dinner.

    Amber had got home from work and started helping Amy sort dinner out after she gave her wife a proper welcome home greeting. Mandy had gone up to take a quick shower when Amber walked in. Mandy didn’t want to leave Amy alone in the kitchen, so she’d sat talking to her while she made a start on a mixed salad. Amy had set Amber to work on making some coleslaw and that is what she was doing when Chrissy and Becky walked into the kitchen.

     “Hi Amy, Amber. I’m sorry for sticking you with sorting dinner out.” Becky said as she walked over to where Amy was stood and gave her a hug to greet her, and also say sorry.

     “Hi Becky. Don’t worry about it.” Amy said as she hugged her back. “It looks like you needed a little more sleep anyway.” Amy added with a smile when they broke the hug.

     “I’m sorry for working your wife so hard Amber.” Becky said with a pout as she held out her arms to get a hug off her.

     “Don’t worry about it sis.” Amber smiled. “If you wear her out, I might get some sleep tonight when we go to bed.” Amber added with a roll of her eyes, just before she started grinning.

     “Amber! You can’t say things like that.” Amy said looking shocked at her wife. “It would take far more than working all day and then cooking dinner to wear me out that much.” Amy added with an evil grin at Amber. This set them all of in fits of giggles.

     “Do you need any help?” Chrissy asked.

     “I think we’ve got it covered, so take a seat and relax a little more.” Amy said as she pointed over towards the kitchen table.

    Chrissy let Becky lead her over to the table and they sat side by side with an arm wrapped around each other.

     “Oh, I have some good news for the two of you.” Chrissy said as she looked at first Becky, and then Amber. “Debbie had the baby today, Vin called me.” Chrissy said with a grin.

     “That’s greet, tell us all the details.” Becky said looking excited.

     “I’ll tell you what I know, but Vin sounded dead on his feet, and didn’t give me too many details, but he did say that he’d get Debbie to call at some point tonight.” Chrissy told them.

    Chrissy told them everything she knew, like the weight of the baby. Ann and Jayden got home just as Chrissy finished telling the other two all the details, so she let Amy tell Ann and Jayden.

     “Are we planning to go up and see him?” Amber asked.

     “I’m going to have a word with Carl or Carla tonight and see if we can use the jet next Wednesday and fly up there to see them” Chrissy said with a grin. “I trust nobody has plans that can’t be put off until another day?” Chrissy asked, but already knew what the answer was going to be. Chrissy was right, and they all wanted to go up and see the new baby.

    Mandy was soon walking back into the kitchen, and they all sat down to eat their dinner while they talked about what to get Debbie and the baby as a welcome to the world present.

    Once dinner was finished, and they had all had a dish of ice cream for dessert, Chrissy and Becky went up to take a shower together and then get ready for work. Becky had tried again to get Chrissy to take a night off, but had given up when she realised that it was falling on deaf ears.

    Vicky was stood in the hallway when Chrissy and Becky walked back down the stairs looking all glamorous and ready for a night out at the club. Mandy had told Vicky about Debbie having the baby, but Chrissy and Becky filled her in on all the details they had as they drove to the club. One of the bouncers helped Chrissy and Becky get out the car when they got to the club, while another one helped Vicky get out, just before they jumped in and took the car around to the back of the club to park it for her.

    Chrissy was leading Becky into the club, on a mission to go and find Carla, so she could tell her about Debbie having the baby, and to see if they could all go up and see them on Wednesday.

     “Chrissy! Slow down a little bit.” Becky moaned, as she struggled to keep up with her. “I have to talk with a couple of staff members on the way to the VIP section.” Becky added as she pulled back on Chrissy’s arm to slow her down.

     “I’m sorry, but I just want to talk to Carla.” Chrissy said with some pleading in her voice.

     “I know you do baby, but I have a club to run, so we will go and sort these bits out first. Then you can go and talk to Carla.” Becky was all business, and Chrissy knew better than to continue arguing with her about it, so she just fell into step next to Becky and followed her around the club as she checked on all the bars and the bouncers as she walked around.

    Chrissy was beginning to think that Becky was spending a little too much time walking around the club. In truth, Becky was taking more time to walk around and check on everybody. She was trying to make Chrissy see that coming to the club every night of the week with her, was going to be boring.

     “If you’re so desperate to go and talk to Carla, then why don’t you just go.” Becky snapped at Chrissy after she’d been stood next to her huffing for a couple of minutes while Becky was talking to a couple of new comers to the club. Becky had waited until the new girls had been left chatting to another couple of girls, which was a good idea with how mad she looked.

     “I’m sorry Becky.” Was all Chrissy said with worry showing on her face. “I’ll leave you to get on with your job, and go and find Carla then.” Chrissy added, as she turned and almost ran off to get some space between the two of them before Becky had an even bigger go at her.

    Becky let out an unhappy sigh as she saw Chrissy running away. Becky hadn’t meant to snap at Chrissy, but all the worrying and getting others to do everything was making her angry, even if they were all just trying to help keep her and the babies safe and in good health.

     “I’ll have to think of something pretty amazing to say sorry for that outburst.” Becky said to herself as she started a slow walk up to the VIP section to go and find Chrissy again.

    Chrissy ran past Brad as he stood guard on the entrance to the VIP section. Brad went to ask what was wrong, but Chrissy just gave him a worried smile as she ran past, and was gone before a word had left his lips.

    Carla was sat on the sofas up in the private section, she was on her own, just relaxing by the looks of it. Carla smiled up at Chrissy as she saw Chrissy walking over to her.

     “Hi Carla. Do you mind if I sit and talk to you for a bit?” Chrissy asked as she hovered next to the sofa Carla was sat on.

     “Hello Chrissy. You should know my now that you don’t need to ask.” Carla said as she patted the seat next to her for Chrissy to sit down.

     “Thanks Carla.” Chrissy smiled as she took the empty seat.

     “So what do you want to talk about then?” Carla asked.

     “Vin called me at the shop today. Debbie has had the baby.” Chrissy smiled.

     “That’s great Chrissy. How are they both doing?” Carla asked.

     “Vin said they were doing fine, but he sounded worn out, so I didn’t push him for too many details. He said he’d get Debbie to give me a call tonight, but I’m here so guess the others will have all the details by the time I speak to them in the morning.” Chrissy said with a frown.

     “You could have stopped at home tonight and spoke with Debbie yourself Chrissy. I’m sure Becky understands that she’s not to go doing too much.” Carla smiled, as she took hold of Chrissy’s hand. “I also have the other members of staff keeping an eye on her for me as well.” Carla added with a wink.

     “I’m not sure me being here is helping to keep her calm anyway Carla.” Chrissy said with a sigh.

     “What have you done now?” Carla asked with a frown, when she saw the look on Chrissy’s face.

    Chrissy wasn’t sure she wanted to tell Carla the reason to start with, but she knew that Becky would tell her later, so Chrissy took in a deep breath before speaking. “I wanted to come and find you when we first got her, but Becky wanted to get stuck in doing her job right away. She seemed to be taking longer than normal doing her walk around the club, and I was getting impatient with her.” Chrissy looked close to tears now. “I made her angry with me.” Chrissy added.

     “Don’t let it worry you Chrissy. I’m sure she’ll make it up to you later in the night, just give her a little time to calm down.” Carla said as she pulled Chrissy into a hug with her. “What would you say to us all taking the jet up to see Debbie and the new addition to her family on Wednesday?” Carla asked in an attempt to make Chrissy cheer up a bit.

    Chrissy sat up again and had to let out a little giggle. “That was another reason I wanted to talk to you Carla. I was going to ask you if we could go and see her on Wednesday myself.”

     “Great minds think alike.” Carla smiled. “I’ll get a flight plan sorted out for Wednesday then. I trust everyone will be going with us?” Carla asked.

     “What do you think?” Chrissy replied with a raised eyebrow.

     “Good point Chrissy.” Carla said with a grin.

    Before Carla could say anything else to Chrissy, Chrissy jumped up and started moving away from the sofa in the opposite direction to the one she entered through. Carla saw the reason for this when she saw Becky enter the VIP section.

     “I’ll try and talk to you some more later in the evening Carla. Bye!” Chrissy said as she walked off at a very fast pace.

    Becky saw Chrissy talking to Carla, and was happy to see Chrissy smiling, but she then saw Chrissy jump up and give Becky a worried look before she was taking off in the direction of the toilets. Becky thought about following Chrissy, but didn’t want to be chasing all over the club after her, and Becky thought a little time sat on the sofa chatting with Carla would be nice, so she walked over and took a seat on the sofa facing Carla.

     “Hi Carla. I trust Chrissy finally told you the news about Debbie?” Becky asked with a smile.

     “Hello Becky. Yes she did, and we talked about taking the jet up to see her and the baby on Wednesday.” Carla said in return. “I trust you’ll be coming along?” Carla asked with a raised eyebrow.

     “Yes! Why wouldn’t I be?” Becky asked looking shocked at the question.

     “No reason, I was just hearing from a little birdie that you’re running the club with an iron fist tonight.” Carla said with a smirk.

     “I trust the little birdie in question just ran off as I entered the VIP section.” Becky said as she looked in the direction Chrissy had gone moments before. “What else did she say?” Becky asked.

     “Not much, she just thinks she’s making things worse all the time.” Carla said with a frown. “She’s just worried about you Becky, cut her some slack. I think Prue’s planted a very deep seed of doubt in her mind, and now she feels the need to do all she can to make sure you’re safe.” Carla added.

     “I know that Carla, but I’m just getting a little sick of her taking control of my whole life.” Becky said with anger in her voice. “I just wish Prue had never had her little chat with Chrissy now. Nothing Mandy or I have tried will stop her coming to the club with me, and the only way I can think of to make her take a break, would be for me to take a night off with her.” Becky said with a sigh.

     “I’m sure the club will cope without you being here every night of the week Becky” Carla said with a shrug. “You have a good group of people working for you, and they all know what to do. You don’t see me trying to run all the hotels and night club’s I own do you?” Carla asked.

     “No, but that’s different. You’re paying me to run this one club for you.” Becky argued.

     “Yes, and you do an amazing job of it too, but I’m not going to let you and Chrissy fall out over a simple thing like you taking it easy. I’m on Chrissy’s side with this.” Carla said looking very serious about it.

     “But if I’m not here running the club, then what’s the point of you having me working for you?” Becky asked looking worried that she could be about to lose her job.

     “Don’t look so worried Becky. You have a job for as long as you want it, and even then I’d still pay you to help me run the empire I own.” Carla said with a grin. “You will still be coming to the club and sorting stuff out, just do more of it in the day while Chrissy is at the shop with Mandy and Amy.” Carla offered with an even bigger grin.

    Becky caught on to what Carla was getting at. “I see what you’re saying now Carla.” Becky smiled back. “I’ll still need to find a couple of people to play hostess in the evenings when I’m not working, but it could work.” Becky added as she was suddenly deep in thought while she tried to work out who would do the best job.

     “I do have one demand though Becky, as your boss that is.” Carla said looking all business now.

     “Okay Carla, just name it.” Becky said looking worried again.

     “I demand you go and find Chrissy and let her know you still love her, and stop her worrying about you being upset with her.” Carla said as she pointed for Becky to go and find Chrissy right away.

    Becky snapped Carla a salute before she got up off the sofa and walked off to go and find Chrissy. Becky didn’t have any trouble finding Chrissy; she just had to look for Mark the bouncer Becky had told to always keep an eye on Chrissy for her when she was working at the club.

    Mark was stood off to one side while Chrissy was stood chatting with a group of girls and getting a very shy looking girl to open up to them. Becky just stood back with Mark watching her work.

     “Hi Mark. How’s she doing?” Becky asked as she looked over to where Chrissy was making the new girl smile and laugh now.

     “She’s pretty amazing boss.” Mark said in reply. “That new girl was sat over there in the corner looking more nervous than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs until Chrissy went over to speak to her.” Mark added looking proud of what Chrissy had done.

     “Yes she is very pretty, and amazing.” Becky said with a faraway look in her eyes as she watched the woman she loved so much do her unpaid job.

     “She had a good teacher boss.” Mark said with a grin as he looked down at Becky stood at her side.

     “She had the best teacher.” Becky said with a mock angry face, just before she started smiling again.

    Chrissy picked that moment to look over at Becky stood next to Mark and saw the angry look Becky still had towards her. “Great, she’s still upset with me.” Chrissy thought sarcastically to herself.

     “I trust I can leave Lizzy in your safe hands then ladies?” Chrissy asked with a smile, but inside she just wanted to cry at what she’d done to Becky now.

     “You know you can Chrissy, now go and find us some more fresh meat to entertain.” One of the other girls said with a grin as she playfully pushed Chrissy away.

     “Thank you Chrissy for helping me.” Lizzy said in a not very good female sounding voice, but she looked happy enough to be talking to a group of girls just like her.

     “That’s what I’m here for Lizzy. Please don’t leave any of your drinks unattended either ladies’, we’ve had someone else trying to spike drinks.” Chrissy said just before she walked away in the opposite direction to where Becky was still stood with Mark. Chrissy never even bothered to look at Becky, not wanting to see that angry look on her face again.

    Becky and Mark had both turned to look at another group of girls laughing, but when they turned back to look at Chrissy again, she’d gone. Becky looked around, but couldn’t see which direction she’d walked off in.

     “Did you see which way she went Mark?” Becky asked.

     “No, sorry boss. She’s quick when she wants to be.” Mark said with a frown as he kept looking around for her.

     “Well she didn’t walk past us, so she must have gone off in that direction.” Becky said as she started walking off with Mark close behind.

     “I’m really sorry boss. I should have been keeping a closer eye on her.” Marks said sounding worried for losing sight of Chrissy.

     “Don’t worry about it Mark. Chrissy and I had words earlier in the night.” Becky said as she looked up at Mark. “She must have seen me and thought I was still upset with her, so she disappeared before I could get hold of her again.” Becky added.

     “Oh I see.” Mark said, knowing only too well what can happen when Chrissy and Becky had words.

     “We better head to the entrance and let Frank know, not to let Chrissy leave the club without my say so.” Becky said as she started walking towards the entrance of the club.

     “I don’t think Frank would fall for that one again boss.” Mark chuckled as he thought about the last time Chrissy had been upset with Becky, and she’d tricked Frank into getting someone to drive her home.

     “I don’t either, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Becky said.

    Frank was just explaining to a group of guys out on a stag night, that even though they were all dressed as women, they still weren’t getting into the club, when Becky and Mark turned up.

     “You shut it for one second miss!” Frank barked out at the man doing the talking for the group. “I thought you were keeping an eye on Chrissy?” Frank asked Mark.

     “He was Frank, but Chrissy and I had words earlier, and now she’s given us both the slip.” Becky said with a meek look. “I just wanted to give you a heads up, just in case she tried to slip past you and go home before I get to speak with her.” Becky added.

     “She won’t pull that stunt with me again.” Frank said with a huff. “She’s still inside the club boss. I’ve been stood out here for the past hour.” Frank added just before turning his attention back to the group of very badly dressed drag queens.

    Becky wandered off back into the club smiling at the way Frank could deal with the odd people that tried to get into the club.

    The club was a safe place most the time for cross dressers and the people that liked to spend time with them, but they didn’t let groups like the one Frank was dealing with now into the club. All groups like that saw, were a reason to start trouble later in the night when they got so drunk they forget about most the girls not being real.

    Becky felt better knowing that Chrissy was still in the club someplace, so she started walking around looking for her, and talking to some of the local’s as she did. Becky asked some of them if they’d seen Chrissy in the past ten minutes and a couple said they’d seen her heading towards the VIP section about five minutes ago. Becky thanked them and then made her way back to the VIP section.

    Chrissy was just about to head up into the VIP section when she thought that maybe that wouldn’t be the best place for Becky to find her hanging out. She was supposed to be working here after all, not sat talking to Carla or anyone else that happened to be up there.

     “Is everything alright Chrissy?” Brad had walked up behind Chrissy not realising he was there and spoke into her ear, and making her jump as she let out a small squeal. “Sorry for scaring you Chrissy.” Brad said as he put his hands up and stepped back a couple of steps. The way he was trying not to start smiling though, said he was anything but sorry.

     “Jesus Brad! What you trying to do, scare me to death?” Chrissy asked looking worried as she looked around. “How does someone of your size sneak up on people?” Chrissy put her hand over her heard to stop it jumping out her chest while it calmed down again.

     “I didn’t sneak up behind you Chrissy, I shouted you from over there, but came over when I didn’t get an answer.” Brad said as he pointed to where he’d been stood keeping an eye on the club. “So are you going to tell me what’s got you acting so nervous all of a sudden and why aren’t you keeping an eye on Becky tonight?” Brad asked, already knowing that something was going on between her and Becky.

     “I’m just making Becky angry by hanging around her all the time, so I thought it best if I just play hostess and keep out her way for the rest of the night.” Chrissy said as she looked down at her feet, or more her chest due to it blocking the view of her feet.

     “I’m sure she’ll be fine with you in no time Chrissy, you’re doing the right thing. Just give her some time to cool off and she’ll be looking for you soon enough to say sorry.” Brad smiled. “I better get back to work though, if Becky is mad with you, then the rest of us are all doomed.” Brad added with wide scary eyes.

    Chrissy let out a little giggle and let Brad get back to standing guard outside the VIP section, while she went off towards the main part of the club again to carry on playing hostess. What Chrissy didn’t see was Brad telling Paul another bouncer to shadow Chrissy and keep an eye on her.

    Becky walked up towards the VIP section and found Brad stood looking over the area of the club he could see from where he was. “Hi boss, is everything alright?” Brad asked.

     “It will be when I track down my wife and talk to her.” Becky said looking frustrated at not being able to track her down after walking around the whole club. “Is she up here?” Becky asked as she pointed up into the VIP section.

     “No she’s not up there boss, but I was just talking to her.” Brad replied. “She thinks you’re upset with her, so she said she was going to hang out in the main part of the club and play hostess for the rest of the night and keep out your way.” Brad added.

     “I did snap at her earlier, but I’m over it all now and just want to say sorry to her, but I can’t find her.” Becky said with even more frustration in her voice.

     “She went that way a couple of minutes ago.” Brad said as he pointed in the same direction Chrissy had walked with Paul following just behind her. “Just look for Paul, I sent him along to keep an eye on her for you.” Brad added with a grin.

     “Thanks Brad, at least I’ve got a bigger target to look for now.” Becky said with a smile as she walked off looking for Paul.

    Becky soon found Paul stood near a group of girls and then she saw Chrissy doing a repair job on another girl’s makeup while the rest of the group stood watching her work. Becky stood almost right behind Chrissy, so she couldn’t see her waiting for Chrissy to finish.

    Chrissy had just put the girl’s lipstick back in her little purse when she felt a hand on her shoulder spin her around really fast, just before someone leaned in and kissed her. Chrissy’s head was still spinning, so she never saw who it was, but she knew them lips better than she knew her own. Becky was kissing her, so she relaxed and let it happen. Chrissy was out of breath by the time Becky let her up for air again.

     “That was my way of saying sorry for snapping at you earlier Chrissy.” Becky said as she looked deep into Chrissy’s eyes.

     “I should be the one saying sorry for upsetting you again.” Chrissy said close to tears now. “I’m proving to be quite useless at everything but being able to upset you now-a-days.” Chrissy added as she straightened herself up again when Becky let go of her.

     “It’s not useless to care for people Chrissy.” Becky said looking a little angry again. “I never should have taken so long to walk around the club, but I was just getting sick of you trying to wrap me in cotton wool.” Becky was more pleading for Chrissy to understand now, than upset with her.

     “I don’t know what to do different though Becky. If I stop trying to help then Prue will be proved right, and I don’t want Prue to be right. Not about this.” Chrissy had tears running down her cheeks now as she spoke.

     “What is it you think Prue is trying to say about you Chrissy?” Becky asked with worry in her voice.

     “That I’m not fit to have children, or you.” Chrissy let Becky wrap her arms around her again as she sobbed on her shoulder. “I should let you find someone who can give you everything you need. You never should have come looking for me when I ran away.” Chrissy was not making any sense at all now.

    Becky wasn’t going to say anymore while they were stood in the middle of the club, so she led Chrissy up to the VIP section and sat her on one of the sofas before saying another word to her.

     “Chrissy, Chrissy, look at me.” Becky said as she sat looking at the top of Chrissy’s head waiting for her to look up.

    Chrissy finally looked up at Becky through tear streaked makeup and sat waiting for whatever Becky wanted to tell her.

     “I don’t want anyone else to raise OUR children, and I’m never going to look for anyone else to share my heart with.” Becky said in a firm voice. “Prue said that stuff, trying to knock some sense into you, but it looks more like she knocked it clear out of you instead.” Becky added with a frown. “I love the fact that you are willing to work two jobs, and then plan out every little detail of my life, like getting Frank to come and help with the shopping today.” Becky was smiling now as she got a tissue out and wiped the makeup off Chrissy’s cheeks.

     “But all I keep doing is upsetting you all the time, and Prue said that was bad, so that makes me bad.” Chrissy said looking confused by it all.

     “So all this worry has to do with what I went through after you ran away, as well as what Prue said?” Becky asked, finally seeing the real trouble Chrissy was having.

     “Well it’s all true Becky. Everything you’ve ever tried to do for me, I’ve thrown it back in your face and hurt you.” Chrissy said looking even more depressed.

     “Does it look like I hate you my love?” Becky asked with her lips just inches from Chrissy’s and her eyes looking deep into Chrissy. So she could see just what Becky was thinking.

     “It looked like you hated me earlier.” Chrissy said in her defence for her actions.

     “I got upset because I’m pig headed, even more pig headed than you can be most the time.” Becky giggled. “I’ll start and take it easy, as long as you stop thinking you're some evil person not fit to be around anyone.” Becky asked. “I love you silly, and I know you’re a very good person with a heart of gold.” Becky leaned in and kissed Chrissy again before Chrissy could say another word.

    Chrissy relaxed in Becky’s arms and felt better than she had in some time. It was like this talk had been long overdue. “I’m sorry for not being the easiest person to live with baby.” Chrissy said when they stopped kissing again.

     “The best things in life are never easy my love, but that’s what makes it worth fighting for.” Becky smiled back. “Now you better go and get your makeup fixed, so we can get back to work.” Becky said in a mock bossy voice, as she got up and then pulled Chrissy to her feet and walked with her to the restroom so Chrissy could clean herself up.

    Once Chrissy was back to looking as beautiful as Becky always remembered her to be, they returned to the main part of the club and spend the rest of the night walking around the club together sorting out any little problems that came up, and getting shy new comers to open up and chat to some of the other customers in the club.

    Chrissy looked more relaxed after she had the talk with Becky. Carla and Vicky smiled as they watched the two of them walking around the club with a new energy that had been missing since Chrissy had been found again safe and sound.

    Becky still had to put up with Chrissy doing stuff for her, but it was different now, Becky could tell that Chrissy was just doing it out of love now, not because she felt she should. This was truly the Chrissy she had fallen in love with.

    Vicky drove them home at the end of the night and then smiled as she watched them enter the house before she drove off to go and get some sleep herself.

    Chrissy and Becky skipped going to the kitchen and went straight up to bed, but they didn’t go to sleep right away.
