New families

People change

A week later Jac was packing a few of her and Emma's things. Johnny was due to collect Emma any minute and Jac was nervous about telling Johnny about them moving in to Fletch's
The doorbell rang and Emma ran off to answer the door
"Hello princess"
"Daddy, daddy guess what me and mummy are moving into Theo and Ella's house"
Jac appeared behind her and noticed the confusion on Johnny's face
"Two of Fletch's kids"
"You're moving in with Fletch that's a bit quick isn't it?"
Jac was immediately on the defensive "didn't Bianca move into yours after 6 days?"
"That's different"
Jac folded her arms and raised a questioning eyebrow
"It didn't involve up rooting Emma"
"Do you see her complaining?"
Johnny was for once speechless
"I've written down the address and landline number" she handed him a piece of paper "
He slowly took it from her hand
"You sure about this Jac? I don't want you or Emma getting hurt"
"You know me Maconie it's probably Fletch you should be worried about"
"I remember the stories of his womanising Jac"
"Yeah well things and people change"
She knew, of course she knew of Fletch's past. He'd told her. He wasn't proud of himself and her own track record wasn't great but she truly believed they'd both changed.
"I hope for Emma's sake you're right"
"Come on princess bring your bag darling"
"Bye Mummy. When I come home will it be to Theo's house?"
"Yes baby on Sunday night Daddy needs to drop you off at Fletch's"
She closed the door with a sigh of relief. That could have gone much worse
Fletch arrived half an hour later
"Reporting for duty madam" he said saluting as she opened the door
"Hi" she smiled "couple of suitcases and a couple of boxes to put in your car and then that's me I think"
"Well then if that's all I think there's time for a cuddle" he wrapped her in a famous Fletcher hug
"How you feeling?" He asked stroking her hair
"Truthfully, so far it feels like I'm going on holiday, especially with Sacha deciding to stay here"
"I'm excited to be living together" he confessed
"Oh I'm that too" she said playing with the short hair at the nape of his neck
"Fletch?"
"Yes?"
"Sacha's out what do you say to us bidding a final farewell to my bed. All this talk of us being excited has got me, well...excited"
"I say lead the way Naylor"
Who knew that Jac Naylor could be like this?
Eventually they drove their loaded cars to Fletch's. There was no welcoming party,  no fanfare. Despite Jac's reservations her and Emma had been accepted into the Fletcher clan and them moving in was just a natural progression of their relationship.
