Here y'all hoes(not rlly hoes pls don't hate me😤) go an update.
_________

Nobody's saying our neighborhood is the Garden of Eden.
Hell, some people say God avoids this place altogether, but it's been a good home to us to me and my kids, who I'm proud of, 'cause every single one of them reminds me a little bit of me.
Fiona, my rock, huge help.
Has all the best qualities of her mother, except she's not a raging psycho bitch.
Blow.
Lip, smart as a whip.
Straight "A"s and the honor roll.
Boy's definitely going somewhere.
"You, come back! Stop!"
Ian, industrious, conscientious, ambitious, incredible work ethic.
Don't have a clue where he got that from.
Wants to be a paratrooper.
Knows how to disembowel an enemy with a roll of dimes and an old gym sock.
Carl.
Uh, I don't really know that much about Carl.
Oh, loves animals.
Always dragging home some poor stray he found, taking them up to his room.
Ah, Debbie.
Sent by God, total angel.
Raises money for UNICEF year-round, some of which she actually turns in.
Liam, going to be a star.
I'm no biologist, but he looks a little bit like my first sponsor.
He and the ex were close.
Kev and Veronica, fantastic neighbors.
There's nothing they won't do for each other.
Or to each other.
'That didn't hurt half as much as I thought it would.'
I never realized how little sex I was having till V and Kev moved next door.
Then me, Frank Gallagher, father, teacher, mentor, captain of our little ship.
And Rose, been basically part of the family since birth.
May not realize it but she's part of the Gallagher family.
Hell shes as fucked up as the rest of us.
We may not have much, but all of us, to a man, knows the most important thing in this life we know how to fucking party.
___________________________
"Seven fifteen monkeys."
Fiona banged on the doors.

"First shower."
"You had it yesterday."

"Shut the fuck up I'm sleeping."
"Fuck off Rose."
"Will do."

   Rose lazily got up from the bed and walked to where she threw her bag yesterday,       
pulling out baggy sweats and a shirt.
"Fuck I don't wanna go to school," she sighs as she walks out the room with her clothes in hand.

   The bathroom door opening
creaked and Rose walked right in. When she did that Ian poked out of the shower and looked to see who it was.
Without being bothered he went back
to his shower.
After she had changed
her clothes she walked out closing the
door behind her .
She walked down the steps
and everyone was piled around the
small table .
"Good morning to everyone, expect you Lip," she winked at him and sat down.

"Piss off, Jesus," he rolled his eyes.
Rose sat down as Fiona placed the
cereal box on the table, "electric."

She pulled some pocket change and a
few crumbled bills from her sweat
pants and tossed it in the box .

Ian came down the steps into the
kitchen with Carl on his back.
"Coming through," he says zooming
towards the table.
They tossed the box around and
Carl hadn't put in any money.
Fiona starts yelling at Carl for a stain
on his shirt, and goes to flip it inside
out.

"Field trip need dads signature," Debs
grabs the form and signs it for him.
"Wow Debs that's getting really good,"
Lip compliments his little sister.
Fiona asks who has the phone and Lip
tosses it over.
Ian hands Rose a dry bowl of cereal
which she takes a few piece tossing
them in her mouth.
She wasn't paying attention but both
Gallagher brothers watched happily.
"Hey can I have a beer for breakfast, maybe a couple shots," she jokes with
the large family.
"Let's not pull a Frank alright," Ian jokes back and she snorts.

Debs walks back to the table saying
something about show and tell.
"How much are we short?" Fiona asks them all.
"Eighteen dollars and thirty cents,"
Debs says to her.
Lips says how he's tutoring after school
and Rose nudges Ian, "tutoring" she
says using air quotations.
Lip kicked her leg under the table
that will surly form a bruise.
"Wait, did Carl put in any?"
"You're almost nine, you're gonna have to start pulling your weight," Debbie
lectured him.
"That's right, and get a real job, not just dipping into the collection play at St. Tim's," when Lip said that Rose choked on the water she was drinking.

"Carl that was you!"
Fiona says she's filling in for someone
at work so she can cover the rest.
She needs someone to watch Liam, and
everyone makes up excuses.
"Uh, I got a calculus test," and which Rose responds, "I do to, same class."
"I'm working after school," Ian says.
She obviously won't have Carl watch him.

As the three ducked out of the house in
a hurry Rose lit a cigarette.
Lip had stolen some kids bike and Rose
just walked down the street.
She wasn't planning on going to school
anyway so she just walked home
and took a nap until.
________

When Rose woke up it was around
Nine or ten.
She slipped on long sleeved shirt and
a pair of boots.
Elsy was lying at the end of her bed and
Rose gave her some love and kisses
before leaving, also feeding
her.
She made her way to the Gallagher
household and let herself in.
As she walked up the steps she heard
Lip and Ian talking.
She walked in and saw Ian looking
shocked, holding a folder.
He hides it before she was able to see it.
Ian hands Rose the joint and she hits
it.
Few moments after they heard noise
downstairs, Fi and Vee we're back.

Everyone except Ian and Rose went
downstairs.
"Hey Ian I'm going to grab a beer, I'll be back," he nods at her.

"Oh and that's Rose," she hears as she walked down the steps.
"Didn't know there was company."
"You eat yet hun?"
"Uh yeah," she smiles walking to the fridge grabbing a beer.
She hadn't eaten but she wasn't going to tell her that, didn't want her
to worry. Lip gets up and follows
her to the kitchen.
"Hey Rose," he leaned against the counter.
"What do you want Lip?"
"To talk," he says back.
"About?"
"Did you eat anything today, be honest, I'm not going to get mad."
She sighs, "Lip, no, I'm not hungry." She finally grabs her beer.
"Will you eat something? Nothing huge maybe some bread?" He pleaded with his eyes.
She sighs and grabs the bread taking a piece, smooshing it into a ball and shoved it into her mouth.
Lip smiled and gave her a bear hug.
Rose smiled and he walked out of the kitchen.

As soon as he did she went to the trash can and spit it out.
Ian had made his way down stairs and Rose went to sit by him.

The guy sitting down asked why Lip is called Lip.
"What's his name," Rose whispers to Ian.
"Steve," she nods.
Kevin walks in and asks Vee if she has his keys.
They started talking about why Steve was there.
"Holy shit, Jimmy Clifton, like actually, that happened?"
Key went and shock Steve's hand in respect.

"Kevin," Rose called to him, he was much like a father figure to her which was odd to a lot of people.
"Hey Posie, hows it goin?"
"It's goin," she leaned into Ian's shoulder.
Carl had grabbed a beer and started drinking it.
Kevin started scaring Steve with a bunch of nonsense and Rose snorted.
"I swear, since when did we get a pig."
"Phillip Gallagher that joke is boring and used up, kinda like you hun!"
Rose laughed again.
Lip got up and so did Rose, "I'm tired of your shit."
"Yeah well I'm tired of yours," she smirked and Lip ran at her and she turned to run up the steps.
Ian the great guy he is trips Lip for her as she runs to the bedroom.

When Lip finally reaches her, he picks her up and slams her onto the bed.
She starts giggling and laughing once she caught her breath.
"Alright Gallagher go to bed." He got up and jumped onto his bed.
Ian and Carl both made their way up into the room and got into their beds.

"Rose?"
"What Lip?"
"You snort like a piggy."
"Lip?"
"Yeah?"
"I'll smother you with a pillow in your sleep."
"Okay, sure."
They both stopped talking and went to sleep. Rose curling up with Ian.
Making sure to cuddle him until he couldn't breathe.
