(sneaky little treat)

"Beth?" Leo's voice hollered around the house. It was evident he was in the kitchen, scavenging as per usual.

"Yeah?" I yelled back from the living room. I was captivated by the current events occurring on the Jeremy Kyle Show, snuggled underneath my duvet on the sofa.

"You ran out of nutella" he moaned, before the slam of the cupboard door echoed out of the kitchen.

"Go down the shop and get some then!" I laughed as he trudged into the living room and snuggled down next to me under the duvet on the cream sofa.

"I don't want too" he whined; crossing his arms over his chest adamantly in protest.

"Don't complain then" I giggled, tapping him lightly on the nose as his face crinkled.

"You're such a tease" he smirked, twisting his head to stare at me.

"Well" I shrugged, failing to wink at him.

A lot has happened since Dani's birth. She's now almost 2 and the most adorable child ever. Leo absolutely adores her, whenever he's down he doesn't leave her alone. Charlie's fond of her as well but he doesn't come down often though and if he does he's just with his girlfriend, Hannah, anyway.

"What do you want to do then?" Leo asked, throwing his arm over my shoulder and pulling me into his body.

I rested my head on his shoulder and replied with a quick "I don't know"

"Helpful" Leo replied sarcastically, resting his chin on the top of my head.

"Our lie detector says: Jack you're not the father" The voice of Jeremy Kyle boomed around the room, this earned tumultuous applauds from the audience.

"Ha! I knew it!" I yelled, jerking forwards and pointing at the tv viciously.

"How do you like this stuff?" Leo laughed, confusion struck across his face as he stared at my reaction.

"It's amusing" I shrugged, leaning back into his body again but this time throwing my arm over his stomach.

"It's not though, is it?" He laughed, staring down at me disapprovingly.

"It kind of is though" I shrugged, staring at him in the same way he was.

"You do make me laugh" he giggled, reaching down and pecking my lips slightly.

He's very mature for an almost 16 year old - most of the time.

"How's Tilly, by the way?" I asked, sitting up straight and staring into his divulging brown eyes.

"She's doing fabulous" he chuckled, throwing his head back attempting to flick his hair in a sassy way.

"Good" I laughed at his attempt, ruffling my fingers through his hair.

"Where's Sam and Lilly?" He asked in concern, glancing around the room as if they were going to pop out from behind the television.

"At my cousin's house" I shrugged, turning my attention back to the tv.

We sat in silence for a few moments, just watching the time tick past on Jeremy Kyle.

"Beth!" Leo whined unexpectedly, throwing a tiny tantrum.

"What?" I yelled back, stamping my feet on the floor.

"Please, can we do something today?" He begged, throwing out his bottom lip in a pout.

"Don't do that" I sighed, staring from his plump lips to his brown eyes.

"Why?" He replied, his lips curling into a smirk.
