"Morning baybee!" Harley cooed as Ivy slowly woke up. She smiled at Harley, seeing her in the morning is one of the greatest things about being in a relationship with Harley. Seeing Harley's big blue eyes up close and her messy blonde hair in the morning just warmed Ivy's heart. This was something she would never get fed up with. "Morning Harl" Ivy said softly with a smile. "Did ya sleep well red?" Harley asked. Ivy smiled slightly and nodded. "What about you?" Ivy replied, stroking Harley's cheek gently. "Yeah, I did" Harley answered. They smiled at each other and Ivy leaned in to kiss Harley. The kiss lingered for a few moments before Ivy pulled away from Harley's lips and smiled.

Harley stretched slightly and moved closer to Ivy. Ivy wrapped her arms round Harley's waist and pulled her close. They laid in silence for a few moments, just gazing into each other's eyes. "Harl, I want to ask you about something" Ivy said, looking a bit serious. "What's up red?" Harley asked. "Uhm, well... It's just what your mum said yesterday over dinner. When I asked her on how she found us. And then when I asked who told her, she didn't really give a straight answer" Ivy told Harley. "So?" Harley said. "It just feels a little weird, who could have told her? Hardly anyone knows where we live" Ivy pointed out. "Baybee, don't worry. It could have been Jane or her boyfriend. She did say it was someone she talked to in the mall" Harley said. "I-I don't know Harl, something just doesn't feel right" Ivy told Harley, voicing her concern. "It sounds to me like you don't trust my mum" Harley said, sounding a little hurt. "No, no it's just... I don't know Harl. Maybe I'm being paranoid" Ivy replied. Harley's face softened and placed her hand on Ivy's side. "It's fine red, I promise. You have nothing to worry about" Harley smiled, kissing Ivy on the cheek and getting out of bed. "I'm going for a shower red, see ya downstairs" Harley called, grabbing a towel and leaving the room.

Ivy sighed and laid there for about ten minutes, thinking to herself. Harley returned to the bedroom in just a towel wrapped round her. Ivy smiled and got out of bed. She grabbed a small towel as Harley sat on the edge of the bed. Ivy crawled onto the bed behind Harley and began drying Harley's hair. "I should dry your hair after your showers, you always do mine" Harley said.

Ivy smiled slightly. "I love doing this, it's one of many things I love doing with you" Ivy told Harley. She finished drying Harley's hair and put the towel to the side. Ivy moved closer to Harley, wrapped her arms round Harley's waist and rested her chin on Harley's shoulder. Harley placed her hands on top of Ivy's and rested her head on Ivy's head. "I love you" Ivy said softly after a short while. "I love you too" Harley replied, smiling a little. Ivy kissed Harley on the cheek and then on her shoulder. "I'll let you get dressed baby, I'm going downstairs" Ivy smiled, getting off the bed. Harley got up and wrapped her arms round Ivy, stopping her in her tracks. Harley giggled from behind Ivy, causing her to smile. Ivy turned round and wrapped Harley in a long hug.

After the long hug, Ivy headed downstairs and were about to enter the kitchen when she heard someone talking. It was Sharon. She stopped and listened. "Yeah I know. Don't worry I won't be late. Of course it isn't a problem. I'll leave in two days, okay? Okay. Okay bye" Sharon said over the phone. Ivy quietly rushed into the living room. She stood in the middle of the room, taking in what she had just heard. Ivy couldn't believe it. "Sharon is leaving! After everything I told her! After everything Harley has been through and now this!" Ivy thought bitterly. The more Ivy thought about what she had heard, the more angry Ivy got.

Ivy heard Harley coming downstairs. She rushed out of the living room to greet Harley. When she got to her, Sharon walked over with her bag. "Can I talk to you both?" Ivy asked eagerly. "Sorry, I'm heading out for a few hours" Sharon revealed. "But I really need to talk to you" Ivy protested. "I'll be back soon, we'll talk then" Sharon smiled. "Later darling" Sharon said to Harley with a smile. Ivy watched as she pecked Harley on the cheek and Harley returned one at the same time on Sharon's cheek. Sharon then left the house and got in her car. Ivy watched as Sharon started her car. "You said you wanted to talk to us, what is it? Is everything okay?" Harley asked. "It's nothing... It can wait" Ivy replied coldly, watching Sharon pulling away from the house.

The hours leading up to Sharon's return went by slowly. It was spent with the pair sitting in front of the TV. However, Ivy couldn't concentrate. All she could think about was Sharon. The front door opened and closed, grabbing both Harley's and Ivy's attention. "I'm back! I come with gifts!" Sharon announced cheerfully, entering the living room. "Yay!" Harley cheered, jumping up from the sofa and greeting her mum. "I got you this very nice sweater that I think you'll like. I love the material. I got you one as well Pamela" Sharon smiled. "Great" Ivy mumbled. "It's so soft!" Harley exclaimed, holding it in her hands. Sharon smiled and rummaged through one of her bags.

"So then, when are you going to tell her?" Ivy began, standing up with her arms crossed. "Tell who, what?" Sharon replied, looking at at Ivy. "Or was you just going to go through with it and let her figure it out?" Ivy went on. Sharon was confused as she looked at Harley then back at Ivy. "Red?" Harley softly said. "I'm sorry Harl but you need to know. Even if it isn't from the horse's mouth" Ivy told Harley. "You see, I overheard your mum on the phone this morning. Your mum Harl said that she would be leaving in a few days" Ivy revealed. Harley looked at her mum. "Mom?" Harley half whispered, confused by the revelation. "So much for trying to be in Harley's life again. I can't believe you!" Ivy stated in disgust. "Is.. Is it true mum? You're leaving?" Harley asked. "Well, yes but obviously Pamela didn't hear the full conversation" Sharon replied. "What are you talking about?" Ivy snapped, getting impatient. "I was only leaving for a day as I was heading back to my home town. You see, one of my oldest and best friends at work is retiring. She's leaving and moving to the UK with her husband. So we're throwing her a leaving party. To say goodbye and that" Sharon explained. "That's Carol, ain't it?" Harley asked. Sharon nodded. "I remember her. You two were really good friends" Harley said. Ivy was stunned, her arms dropped to the sides. "I wasn't leaving. Of course I wouldn't leave, I've just found my daughter. I wouldn't leave her" Sharon stated. Ivy started to feel a bit guilty. She realized she had made a mistake.

"Harl, I-" Ivy began but got cut off. "No red, stop. I get it. You don't trust my mum. It's obvious you don't. And ya know what? It hurts! It hurts that you can't get along and trust my own mother!" Harley interrupted, getting emotional. "When are you going to understand that she's my mum and she loves me! Just... leave my mum alone and leave me alone, okay?!" Harley shouted angrily, tears forming in her eyes. Her and Sharon then left the living room and went into the kitchen, leaving Ivy alone in the living room...

Oh noooooo, what have I done?! Lol. It seems Sharon is innocent. Do you guys think Ivy is being paranoid? Could this be the end of Harley and Ivy? Surely not, right? Guess you'll just have to wait and see ;)...
