“Ok how about a movie and some pizza, Jacqui doesn’t finish work till 11 so I have 4 hours that can be dedicated to you”

“Yeah I have a 10 o’clock curfew”

“Well I doubt the movie will last 4 hours Nate” Amy smiled

3 hour later Nathan walked back next door. Amy watched him from the door making sure he got in okay. When she seen the front door close she closed her own door heading back upstairs to her office to finish of some work.

“Mum, Mama we need to talk I think” Nathan said

“Ok” Bette said turning off the TV

Tina sat down beside Bette as Nathan took the seat at the other end of the room creating some distance.

“I get your really excited over having the twins and I know your trying to help Amy and Jacqui out but I’m beginning to feel like my presence in here is non existent unless I do something to get into trouble”

“That’s not true Nathan…” Bette began

“No Mama let me finish or I wont get all this out, just listen please” Nathan stopped

“If I do something wrong you notice it before I’ve done it, so in order for me to get a little attention do I need to do something wrong? I mean I love the twins to pieces and I’m really happy to have them in the family but I deserve some attention of my parents…The twins have Amy and Jacqui to fuss over them, you’ve missed all my basketball games, you missed my talent show and I’ve not as much as had a Nathan we love you or Nathan can we have a cuddle please or Nathan how’s school going…any time you start a conversation with me you both get distracted with something to do with the twins or something to do with work, I just don’t really know how to take all this, I’m not use to having to fight for you attention and to be honest I wont, I just wanted to let you know how I’m feeling so now I’m going to let you digest all this and I’m going to bed…good night”

Tina looked at Bette and then to Nathan and then back to Bette who was lost for words.
