A little over midnight Jess and the rest of the band walked through the arrivals with Kirsty and Kelly. Jess dropped her suitcase running over to Tina.
“I missed you so much” Tina said
“I missed you! I’m so glad I’m home” Jess said still attached to Tina
Jace hugged Tina “How’s my girl?”
“She’s wide awake waiting on you” Tina smiled
“Jace needs to speak to you and Mama” Jess smirked
”JESS!” Jace snapped
“What they need to know” Jess smiled “Mum this is my girlfriend Kirsty, Kirsty this is my Mum”
“Nice to meet you” Tina said shaking Kirsty’s hand
Tina hugged Kelly “How are you?”
“Tired these lot are hard work” Kelly smiled
“Try being with them for 8 month, you were with them 3 weeks” Kirsty joked
“Guys were off” Mark said “Josh is picking me and Lee up”
“Lee phone me tomorrow babe”Jess said
“I will tell Lis I’ll see her tomorrow Jace” Lee said
They got back to the house and Jess got out the car first.
“Mum well be in soon I just want to take out stuff in and show Kirsty round about okay?” Jess said
“Yeah that’s fine”
Jess took Kirsty into her entrance of the house and Tina and Jace went in the main entrance.
Lisa ran down the stairs the minute she heard the door open. Jace caught her mid-air.
Bette and Tina smiled.
“I missed you” Lisa said kissing him
“I missed you more” Jace smiled
“Let the boy sit down Lisa he’s been travelling for hours” Bette laughed
Jace sat down, Tina handed him a mug of tea.
“How was the flight?” Bette asked
”Not so good, turbulence was bad, Jess was mega sick so was Lee” Jace said “horrendous flight”
“Guess what?” Lisa said
“Carmen’s back in town” Jace said
“How the hell did you know?”
“I speak to her all the time, she text me yesterday telling me she moved back” Jace said
“Have you told Jess?”
“Nope and I don’t intend too” Jace admitted “Jess has moved on, Carmen has moved on”
“Meaning?” Lisa asked
“Carmen has her work and she loves her job, Jess has Kirsty” Jace said
“Jess should be with Carmen” Lisa said
“You know that, I know that but sometimes it doesn’t work like that” Jace answered
“Ok change the subject” Tina said “Jess will hit the roof if she hears us discussing this”
“I’ve invited her tomorrow” Lisa smirked
“Please tell me your kidding” Jace said
“You have invited your sister’s ex to her 21st birthday?” Bette asked
“She’s my friend” Lisa smirked
“LISA!” Tina snapped
“That’s a disaster waiting to happen, you’ll be lucky if Jess shows up!” Jace said “LIS, Babe really!”
“What? I don’t see why I should not speak to Carmen because Jess was a twat” Lisa said
“So what’s Kirsty like?” Bette asked changing the subject
“I’ll let you decide” Jace said with a straight face
“That’s not easing me Jace” Bette said
“Well if I tell you what I think you will build your opinion around it” Jace explained “That’s not fair”
“True” Bette said “Where the hell is she?”
“Just putting her stuff away she’ll be in soon” Tina smiled
Bette walked into the kitchen.
“Be right back, just going to turn my TV off” Lisa said running up the stairs
“You don’t like her do you?” Tina asked Jace
“Nope” Jace admitted “She’s a first class Bitch Tina”
“Ok don’t tell them two that” Tina stated
“I need to speak to you and Bette without Lisa” Jace said
“What’s up?” Bette asked coming back in
Jace stood up and looked up the stairs to make sure Lisa wasn’t within earshot.
“I want to ask Lisa to marry me tomorrow but I want you both to approve first” Jace said
Tina smiled “I don’t have any objections”
“Can I get back to you with my answer” Bette joked
Tina playful hit Bette.
“I’m kidding Jace, I don’t either” Bette smiled “You’ve proved yourself enough to me”
Jess and Kirsty walked through the kitchen into the living room. Jess signalled Tina to be quiet as she placed her hands over Bette’s eyes.
Bette jumped and then smiled when she realised who it was. She wrapped her arms around Jess.
“How is my girl?” Bette asked
“I’m good, I missed you Mama you look different in person” Jess smiled
“Skype doesn’t work for me no more, I need you here” Bette admitted
“Well you have me for at least 6 months” Jess told them
“JESS” Mason said running down the stairs
Jess ran towards the 10 year old hugging him. “I missed you buddy”
“I missed you more your home for good now yeah?” Mason asked
He found it hard without Jess around, Jess was the one person he trusted 100 percent.
“I brought you presents” Jess smiled
“You should be sleeping, you have school in a few hours” Bette said looking at her watch, “Wow I need to get to bed”
“Good one, you moan at me and you haven’t even been to bed yet” Mason muttered
Jess had trained him well in the sarcasm front.
“Go back to bed buddy I’ll see you tomorrow” Jess said “Love you”
“Love you too” Mason said going back up the stairs
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to wake him” Lisa smirked
“You totally did” Jess smiled hugging her sister “Missed you”
“Wow they do look alike” Kirsty said
“Identical twins usually do” Jace muttered “Lisa’s straight though”
“Ha your funny” Kirsty muttered back
“I missed you too but don’t worry me and you have the full day on our own tomorrow to catch up” Lisa smiled
“Nice try I’m sleeping” Jess said
“Glad you think so, we turn 21 tomorrow you are not sleeping all day”
“Girls your just back in the same room, don’t start” Tina laughed
