Don't you dare I have it all covered, I've even brought formula and nappy and bath stuff for Skylar so you wot have to pack so much Karen suddenly says.
Oh you didn't need to do that but thankyou I appreciate it I say.

Well Summer helped me just before Skylar was born so I have Summer to thanks for me being prepared this year Sean says.
I should of guessed my queen would of been the reason why Ryan laughs.
My king I'm surpised you didn't figure it out the second he said he was done I say smiling at him.
Well my queen I'm a little tired so I'm a little slow in thinking clearly this morning he says.
Okay I forgive you I say laughing.
My queen what are you doing Monday I miss you and want to spend the day together Ryan asks me.
Well my parents are due to fly in the evening ready for Christmas otherwise I'm free in the morning and early afternoon how about we have a Christmas chilled day at mine? I suggest.
I'd love that my queen he says smiling at me.
Can I join Luke asks.
Of course you can your be on babysitting duty I laugh jokingly.
Even better cuddles with our little princess luke says with a serious expression.
You two should adopt I need more grand baby's Karen says looking at Ryan and luke.
In a few more years mum in the meantime we will just spoil our Skylar here Ryan says.
Okay well, I'm going to get ready I will leave Skylar here for you to all argue over I say getting up to leave the room.
Don't hurry back luke says laughing.
Hey I want my daughter first Sean says
No you get her every day we call first dibs Ryan says as I leave the room. I can't help but laugh at them all.
After I had a bath I dried my hair and put it up with a clip. Applied some like natural looking make up to hide the black circles under my eyes. Then I put on my blue skinny jeans with my white strappy vest followed by my cream woollen neck jumper. That will do I say to myself before heading towards Lisa's room.
I knock on Lisas bedroom door and wait for her to answer.
Who is it? She finally asks when I knock the door again.
It's me Summer may I come in?
Yes she replys.
I walk in and see Lisa sat at her dressing table in her pj's and dressing robe.
You okay? I ask.
I'm debating weather to get dressed or not today Lisa says looking at me through the mirror.
I think you should because I want you to come stay at my house tonight, I think a different scenary will do you some good. Plus I want to make Christmas cookies tomorrow and your better at decorating them than I am so what do you say? I ask.
Only to your house? No where else? She asks looking nervous.
Yes just to my house you can come in my car and I will drive you home when your ready either tomorrow or you can get a lift home with Ryan and luke Monday if you want after we spend the day together it's up to you I say hoping I'm winning her around to the idea.
Well in that case then I think I should get dressed Lisa says smiling at me through the mirror.
Okay no hurry take all the time you need to get ready and pack your bag I'm in no hurry to leave yet I say smiling.
Thanks Summer Lisa says standing up.
No need to thank me just come relax have some fun is all I ask of you.
Lisa just smiles.
Okay I will see you once your ready I'm going to save Skylar from the arguements over who is looking after her I say laughing.
Well I will win that arguement once I'm ready Lisa says as I head the out of her bedroom.
I'm sure you will I say laughing even more as I head downstairs
SEAN'S POV
As I head out the front room to go make myself a coffee I see Summer coming down stairs looking as beautiful as ever.
Hey would you like a drink? I ask
No, I'm good thanks. Oh by the way I've talked Lisa into staying at my house tonight, tomorrow we will bake Christmas cookies I think she could do with getting out of her bedroom Summer Says.
Oh, wow I can't believe you managed to get Lisa to agree to that! Your amazing I hope you know that I say.
I know so who won seeing to Skylar when she woke up? Summer asks.
Luke did I say and I chuckle thinking back to how he made us pull straws as a way of settling the arguement, 5 minutes after Summer went to get ready.
Well your all lose when Lisa comes down as she said she will win the argument then, Summer says bringing me back from my thoughts.
She is right I think we will allow Lisa anything she wants atm just to make her I say smiling at Summer.
That's true, summer says
I also do anything for you and Skylar, just to see you both happy everyday I say gently taking Summers hand into mine, I then gently kissing her cheek before letting go off her hand.
Since your heading for the kitchen can you start packing up skylars bottle for me please Summer asks clearly trying to change the subject. I can't help but be amused at Summers sudden shyness.
Yeah I can do that, I say while giving a cheeky wink before continuing to walking to the kitchen.
After I finished packing stuff from the kitchen and made my drink I headed back to the front room to see Summer cuddled up with Ryan on the sofa watching. Even though Ryan is my dear brother and is also in a relationship with luke I can't help but feel jealous. I know Ryan and Summer would never be romanticly involved but the closeness they share is what I miss, and right now Summer would rather cuddle up with Ryan and share her worrys with him over me I think to myself. I plaster on my smile as I sit in the chair and watch the TV. But just as I was getting into it, Lisa walked into the the front room declaring she was all ready, while we all just stared at her in shock.
Lisa had full on curled her hair half clipping it up so it was half up and half down at the back with a few lose strands of curly hair at the front. Then she had done her make up going for a natural look. But what shocked us the most was she opted for black high hells with black trousers and a white long sleeved shirt.
What's wrong do I look bad Lisa asks.
No me and Ryan both say at the same time.
Um why have you gone for a business type look Summer asks Lisa, addressing what the rest of us are wondering, since Lisa never dresses formally.
Is that my shirt my mum suddenly questions.
Well um, yes it's yours mum and as for your question Summer, I felt like I needed a new look something that screamed confidence and demanded respect, I figured if I dressed how I want to feel it might help me feel like that Lisa says.
Well I think it suits you, keep my shirt it looks better on you anyway my mum says smiling.
Yeah baby girl you rock that look Ryan says.
We should go shopping fill your wardrobe with this style Summer says.
Great idea and if you want to avoid crowds I can have a shop cleared in the mall for you or if need be the whole mall so you can kit yourself out again I say.
Wow, really you all like it? I was worried it doesn't suit me.
No it suits you perfectly Summer says smiling.
Oh, hello what happened to my baby girl? I'm sure this is a smart savy women stood in front of me now, when did my baby girl grow up so fast my dad says walking into the room.
Do you like it dad? Lisa asks.
Yes but you should get a jacket to match its winter after all my dad says.
I have some if you want to raid my clothes that are back at Seans apartment Summer says.
It's still just as much yours as it is mine I say to summer.
Alright don't start arguing, shat time are we leaving anyway Lisa says taking a seat next to summer, who is still cuddled up to Ryan.
Where are you going Ryan asks Lisa.
To stay at summers house she talked me into it not taking no for a answer Lisa says.
Yeah we are going to make Christmas cookies summer says to Ryan.
Oh and you left me out Ryan pouts.
Your just eat them all or start a food fight while we bake Lisa says laughing at Ryan's pouting face.
How about we make some Christmas eve Summer says to Ryan trying to sooth Ryan.
Okay, in that case I forgive you both Ryan smiles.
Back to your question we will be leaving soon Summer says.
Okay Lisa says looking nervous.
Lisa I thought the new look was ment to make you confident, so why do you look nervous I ask.
Because it's still daunting thinking about leaving the house, I didn't say I had confidence with the new look I just hope it gives me a little confidence she mumbles.
Baby girl, so long as your with any of us we will all make sure your safe no matter where you are Ryan says.
He is right, I will protect you no matter what I say.
And if your brothers are right my mum says to Lisa who is quietly listen to all of us.
Summer takes Lisa hand in hers as she says plus I may not be blood related but you have always been like a sister who I never had growing up, you know I've always got your back as well.
I know you all wouldn't hurt me and would protect me I just don't trust others outside of the family Lisa says.
Well so long as you have all of us don't fear the outside we will stand by your side as long as you need my dad says.
Okay your all right it's time to start getting my life back just be a little more patient with me, I'm really struggling but also trying the first step is going to summers today Lisa says giving a nervous smile.
That's my girl my dad says.
Our girl my mum corrects my dad while glaring at him which makes everyone laugh.
SUMMERS POV
Once the cars where loaded up, Karen insisted on carrying Skylar into the car. She then hugged Lisa as if her life depended on it.
Mum I'm Only going for one night Lisa complains.
I know, just remember if it's to much ring me Karen says letting Lisa go from her embrace.
And you don't be a stranger I want to see you more my dear girl Karen says bring me into a motherly hug.

Sean looks at me laughing with a frown on his face.
What I say to Sean still laughing.

With that me and Lisa get into my car while Sean gets into his. Me and Lisa wave by as I start to drive off. Sean beeps his horn to his parents as he starts his car up to follow behind us.
Lisa put the radio on I feel like a good song is need I say.
Lisa turns the radio on and turns it up just a little bit as we both instantly start to sing along to ladbabys, Christmas saugages rolls appeal song even though it was nearly finished. That's how the whole drive back to mine went singing songs all the way.
Can we continue singing along to music when we get inside Lisa asks me as we pull into my drive way.
Sure, how about you pick the song just tell alexia what you want to listen to I say turning the car engine off.
Okay, do you want me to take Skylar in for you or take some of he bags Lisa asks me.
If you take Skylar on in I will help Sean with the luggage I say getting out of the car.
Lisa also gets out the car to get Skylar out.

He quickly catches while saying afternoon miss ballard how are you today?
