Okay... so I know I haven't gotten to the romance yet, but I promise it will start in the next chapter! We will be traveling in the Tardis soon but not in this chappy. 

Warning: Some crude language and alcohol & drug references involved in this chapter so pardon me if you don't appreciate that kind of thing, but Jesse is still a teenager and teenagers swear and drink at every opportunity.

XD JUST KIDDING!   

Chapter 3

“I hope they’re all stoned when they do this.” I lay on the engulfing couch with Ash sitting on my stomach staring at the television, while the Wiggles danced and sang happily, their eyes wide and smiles too bright.

“Of course they are…” said my supposedly asleep mother from the armchair. She’d been working for 7 hours in the pub we owned down stairs, while I sat drunk and watching numerous episode of the Wiggles with Ash. 

Ash giggled at the show.  

“Oh, Holy Mother of God! What the fuck is that?!” I said drunkenly, I pointed the slightly full beer bottle at the screen.

On the telly, a creepy fish puppet thing sang one of their mind-numbing songs.

“It’s a crab, honey.”

“That ain’t a crab! That’s a fucking monster!” I screamed and covered Ash’s eyes.

“Pa…pi…” It was feint but I definitely heard it.

“What?” I looked at mum. She had her mouth hanging open in a dumbfounded look. She shook her head and pointed at Ash.

“Papi… Papi!” he giggles and clapped his hands clumsily.

A gasp escaped my slack jawed mouth.

“Again, Ash.” Mum stumbled over and knelt in front of the couch.

“Papi!” he giggled.

A lone tear slid down my stunned face. I wrapped my arms around him and cuddled him against my chest so hard, mum had to stop and remind me he needs to breathe.

“Papi, Papi, Papi!” he repeated again and again.

“Now all you have to do is shut him up!” mum snickered.

A laugh squeezed its way past the lump in my throat.
