Prompt: Gia (9) and Lizzie (4) have tension bubbling between them as Georgia thrives to be an independent young teen, currently struggling to figure herself out. Whilst Lizzie has far less problems to be worrying about, and just wants to play with her big sister, like they used to. Lizzie misses Gia, but doesn't know how to go about it. Charlotte and Mia try to diffuse the situation.

Charlotte and Mia were occupied, spending their bank holiday weekend organising  the files Char had requested from her Solicitor. The custody case was a while ago, given her and her-ex husband were given shared parental responsibility, and things were actually smooth, there wasn't much to organise. Even when there needed to be last-minute changes, Char and her ex-husband went about it in a very civil way. But Char had been losing sleep over it, and had let it get to her head. She didn't want to be left in the dark if anything drastically changed, or if her ex got involved with someone she didn't want the girls to meet. Mia stepped in an suggested a few things they could do to ease her mind, after all, Mia was resourceful like that. 

Char was aware that she hadn't told him about Mia yet. He could probably gather that Mia was more than a friend given all the times he came over for handover, and Mia would answer the door in her pyjamas. Or even worse, one of Char's shirts. She thought maybe he got the hint and maybe just didn't want to comment on anything to make it awkward?

Regardless, he wasn't the best at picking up hints or cues, so maybe she needed to talk to him about it, after all. She would want the same if he was seeing someone. 

Mia brought Char back to their current problem, and the two had almost finished organising the file fully.

"After we do this, I'm hiding this file." The redhead spoke up. "It's not that I don't trust you with it or anything like that, I was just reading about these kinds of procedures, and sometimes, forgetting about it is the best thing to do, till you might need them. Key word is might, sweetheart. This is just a safety measure, nothing else."

Mia leant over the kitchen island to Charlotte who was sitting opposite, and gave her a kiss. Her hand gently finding its way to Char's jawline, grazing her thumb over the youngers' cheek. 

"I love you, Mia"

"I love you too, sweetheart." Mia was feeling a little bored, knowing she didn't have much else to do today. Which was weird, the pair were normally busy bee's. Never getting a minute to themselves. "Let's watch something."

"Ooooh can we watch Killing Eve."

"Again? Char, you would totally leave me for Jodie Comer wouldn't you!" Mia joked.

"Exactlyyyy~ so you've got to up your game, Mia! I'm a catch!" Charlotte was giggling.

Mia tickled her, "Oh really sweetheart, I know you're a catch, but upping my game? That's going to be far too hard. I have set the bar very high."
