"Molly get changed we're going to a wedding."
"You what?" Molly asked looking at her aunt.
Polly hit the back of her head at her tone "a wedding" she repeated.
"Whose?" Molly asked as far as she was aware John hadn't gotten Tommy's blessing and she doubted John would just go ahead without it.
"John's."
"Oh, so he is marryin Lizzie?"
"No." Polly simply said as she rooted through Molly's wardrobe to find something for her to wear.
"Whose he marryin then?" Molly said highly confused.
Polly placed her hands on her hips signalling question time was over. Molly made a motion over her lips like she was sealing them shut. Polly happy with this pulled a dress out of the battered wooden wardrobe and placed her Sunday best, reserved only for when she occasionally went to church with Polly over her desk chair, but she hated that dress, it was itchy, and the collar clung to her neck like it was chocking her.
"Do I 'ave to wear it?" Molly asked.
"Molly" Polly said sterner.
Yes, yes, she did. "Fine" she huffed and picked up the dress.
"Don't take too long" Polly said and then left.
Molly changed quickly and as she left her room she bumped into Finn on the stairs landing, he too was also in his Sunday best. Molly took comfort knowing they were both going to be as uncomfortable as each other. She tried to hide her laugh but failed, Finn punched her hard in the arm, but Molly just punched him back harder.
"Finn! Molly!" Polly yelled from the bottom of the stairs meaning she had seen the two children "get down 'ere now.
The two siblings grinned at each other before racing down the stairs, hoping to avoid being told off anymore. Molly stopped in shocked on the last step causing Finn to bump into her when she saw Ada of all people, a hand on her swollen bump sitting at the kitchen table.
"Ada!" Molly yelled. Ada stood just as Molly reached her throwing her arms tight around her older sister.
Ada closed her eyes as she held her sister close, she hadn't regretted her actions to hide away with Freddie, but she had regretted leaving Molly without so much as a goodbye. Finn hugged Ada next and while Polly gently smiled at seeing the three siblings reunite, she was very much aware of the time.
"Right, you lot, let's get a move on. We don't want to be late."

"So do you know who John's marryin?" Molly asked looking at up Ada as she walked alongside her throw the Lee family camp to the heart of it where the wedding was taking place.
"Not a clue" Ada answered bitterness filling her, because why would she be told who her brother was marrying.
"A lee girl" Polly answered shooting Ada a look, she didn't want Molly involved in her and Tommy's feuding.
"I thought Tommy hated em after they tried to blow me an' Finn up."
"Yeah" Finn mumbled kicking a stone in his path.
"Tommy's got a plan love, that's all you need to know" Polly answered.
Ada scoffed.
"And if this all goes right tonight the war with the Lee's will end."
When they reached where the ceremony was taking place John was already knelt before Johnny Dogs and his new Lee bride was knelt next to him. She also saw standing next to Arthur was Alice and Jamie. She waved at her friend before going up on her tiptoes to try and see over the heads of the people standing in front of her.
