“Jacqui don’t you think we should wake Amy? It’s 4pm” Nathan
said walking into the study

“I don’t want to wake her buddy she’s not had a lot of sleep
recently so I want her to wake up on her own” Jacqui explained

“I kind of want to see my mama though” Nathan admitted

Jacqui looked at Nathan.

“I hate your eyes, they’re so like your sisters they make me melt, I’ll go wake
her” Jacqui said putting her pen down

Nathan smiled going into the living room.

Jacqui opened the bedroom door and quietly walked over to
their bed; she lay beside Amy and gently shook her.

“Baby Nathan wants to go see your Mama do you want to come
or stay sleeping?”

Amy opened her eyes and yawned “What time is it?”

“10 past 4” Jacqui said

“Seriously?” Amy asked

Jacqui nodded moving some hair from Amy’s face.

Amy rubbed her eyes “I’m still really tired” Amy admitted

“Then stay and sleep and I’ll take Nathan”

“No I can’t I need to go see Mama, I’ll get ready” Amy said
getting up

“You hungry?” Jacqui asked “Your Aunty Kit brought your
favourite pasta round”

“I’ll get something later baby” Amy said before yawning and
going into the bathroom.

Amy came down the stairs half an hour later dressed in her
adidas pants and hoodie.

Jacqui smiled “You make me look like such a… never mind”

“What?” Nathan asked confused

“Your sister looks 15 years younger than me right about now”

“Yeah because you totally look like 30” Nathan smirked “You
both look about 12”

“Say’s the 14 year old” Amy replied “I just pulled on the
first thing my hands reached”

“Can we go now?” Nathan asked

“Yes go” Amy said shaking her head “Baby do you want me to
drive?”

“No I want to live thanks” Jacqui smirked “you’re too tired”
Jacqui stole a kiss as she leaned over lifting Amy’s keys “Well take your car
though”

“Yep ok then” Amy said shaking her head as she left the
house

She climbed into the passenger seat put her seatbelt on and
hunched her knees up to her chin.
