We stand in the hallway for a few minutes in a silence only to be broken by Sabrina tugging on Pete's shirt.
"Pete, Pete, Pete!"
He crouches down so he's her height.
"What, what, what?"
"It's Zoella! The pretty lady from YouTube!" She squeals.
"And look! Poopiepie! Isn't that the weirdo that says the naughty words?"
Claire and I double over from laughing and Zoe let's out a slight giggle, covering her mouth with her hand.
Pete looks up and he's face goes red when he sees Felix.
"Ahaha, it is isn't it? . ."
The awkwardness in the room only strengthens when the front door is opened by Steph.
"Holy sh*t, is that Alfie Deyes!?"
Katy hits her arm "Steph."
"Jesus Christ, Steph," mutters D.J.
"Uh, hi!" Alfie says quietly.
"I'll try that again, yeah? This never happened." She goes out the door and closes it.
She walks through the door - again - and feigns a face of surprise.
"Oh they're all here, brilliant! I'll just pop this in the kitchen and I'll be back! Katy, can you tell these lovely people which kids in the bunch are siblings?"
"Righty-o then. So this is Claire and David, the twins and their younger sister Deborah Joan, but she prefers D.J. This Pete and his little sister Sabrina, Felix, Zoe I think you've already met them," she laughs at the last part.
Katy then turns to me "And this, is Riley!"
"I'm back! So Katy I trust you did what I said. Ok kids so these amazing family's looking at adopting are Dan and Phil," she gives me a look and I give her one back. "Felix and Marzia and Zoe and uh, you know - the other guy. ."
"STEPHANIE JOSEPH!" Katy scolds.
"Why Steph, I believe his name is Alfie." I say.
"Oh is it? Sorry 'Alfie'."
D.J. face palms herself.
Pete's cringing in the corner.
Dan's dying from laughter.
"Ok sis, get out. Just, no - you're not staying around 'the other guy'. Just go. Go shopping. Look here's your purse, your phone, you're all good," Katy says whilst pushing her sister out the door.
"But I just went shopping. . ."
"You forgot milk."
"I got milk. . ."
"Well, you didn't get enough milk! Goodbye! Look there's the corner store over there. No, actually go find a cow and milk it. Now, out, out, out!"
She shoo's her out and leans against the closed door.
"Katy?"
"Yes, Sabrina?" She asks her sweetly.
"Can we get a move on?"
Katy looks slightly taken aback.
"Why, did you have plans?"
"Yeah, we scheduled a Barbie play date and Skater Girl Barbie can not be late to meet up with Princess Barbie."
We all lost it.
"Oh ok then Sabrina. So - who wants to see who first? Oh and keep in mind, siblings are meant to be kept together."
