Lily and her sisters -Poppy and Rosie- were fostered today.

I'm sitting in my room, listening to music when Liam and Frank waltz in. Liam walks over and jumps on my bed.

"Make yourself at home." I say sarcastically.

"Don't mind if I do." Liam smiles, getting comfier on my bed. I throw a pillow at his face.

"So what do you two want?" I ask, a smile playing on my lips.

"We are going to see my Grandad and hopefully go to the shops, if he feels okay." Frank informs.

"Well have fun, and stay out of trouble." I smile.

"Rox..." Liam begins, "We were wondering..."

"What?" I interject.

"If you wanted to tag along." Frank smiles.

"I-uh..." I stutter.

"Frank!" Liam hisses and points down, resulting in Frank getting down on his knees and putting his hands together. What the actual-

"Please Roxy!" Frank begs.

"Oh fine." I concede.

Me, Liam and Frank arrived at his Grandad's and I was introduced to him, as he had met Liam at a different occasion. Frank's Grandad is a very sweet man. He was so nice to me. He makes the best cuppa I've ever had. Frank is very lucky to have him. Frank loves his Grandad very much and his Grandad loves him. I'm sad that he is ill. But I'm glad I got to meet him. He told me to call him Pops like Liam, or whatever way I want to say Grandad. I'm sticking with Pops for now.

"Right kids, we going to the shops or what?" Pops says, as he tries to stand up. I rush to his side to help him. "Oh stop fussing, I'm fine."

"You sure?" Frank asks.

"Yeah we don't have to go out." Liam says, I nod agreeing.

"I'm fine." Once he is fully up, he goes to take a step, but falls slightly. Me and Liam catch him whilst Frank asks if he is alright. "Oh I'm sorry, kids." His Grandad says, out of breath, now sitting in his chair.

"Its alright." I smile, "I have an idea. Why don't me and Liam go down to the chippy and get us dinner? Then we can eat and once we're done, we can play a few board games before ringing Mike to pick us up." I suggest.

"That would be lovely sweetheart." Franks Grandad smiles.

"Come on then O'Donovan." I smirk, he playfully rolls his eyes before standing up.

"See you in a bit, Pops." Liam smiles, gabbing his wallet.

"Oh I can pay." Pops, says trying to reach for his wallet.

"Calm down Pops, we got this one." I tell him.

"See ya!" Me and Liam call to Frank and his Grandad.

"Hi, what can I get ya?"

"Hi, what can I get ya?"
