She's Our Girl

Sleepy Sunday

Georgie got on a train to Bath at 7am in the morning to be there for 10 am to meet SJ and Elvis as they were coming from London, today was the day they celebrated the first part of there daughter's birthday.
Elvis and SJ were at Bath station when Georgie's train pulled up. They all got in a cab to get To Captain James's.
The arrived at a Posh old fashioned house, SJ hadn't been here in ages, she loved the way it looked. She knocked on the door and her uncle Charlie opened it "Charlie! How you doing mate." Elvis said giving him a hug, then Georgie went for a hug, once inside they went to the living room and a voice spoke as they entered "I must say we all do scrub up well!" They all laughed "Aunty Molly!" SJ gave her a hug and they sat down and had a natter. Then Charlie spoke "SJ, we both love you so much and have been there since the beginning, the day you were born, your first day of school, your prom, your first army tour and it's been a rocky few years, so happy Birthday My darling" he handed her a black box, she opened it and gasped, inside was not only a gorgeous pair of diamond earrings and a diamond necklace. But also some Personalized dog tags- on one it said 'SJ Harte' on the front and on the back 'happy 17th birthday' then on the second on the front it said 'Stay focused, Stay Alert, Stay Alive' and on the back of that it said 'Lots of love from Uncle Charlie & Aunty Molly' she smiled, "there beautiful she breathed. Georgie looked in amazement "Charlie, Molly there gorgeous, you spoil her rotton" she said. SJ hugged them both and thanked them profusely.
Soon enough it was time for dinner, they all sat round the table and chatted and ate. SJ was excused to got to the bathroom but needed some air so went into the back garden and sat on the wall, where she was met by Molly, Molly put her arm round SJ "You aight Chick?" She asked and SJ nodded "you know I still remember you in your red dress at my wedding, you were so little about 6 or 7 and you looked like a proper princess." SJ smiled at her Aunty Molly "how are you and Uncle Charlie?" SJ asked "we are good, really good, how about Georgie and Elvis?" SJ looked at Molly after her answer "well of course you know that he left my mum at the alter and well there working on it, for me I guess, but I mean they must be okay there sitting round a dinner table and my mum hasn't killed him yet.
SJ and Molly went back inside as it was late. Charlie has his arm round SJ when Elvis revealed a parcel for SJ "sweetheart this is a little gift from me" SJ opened it and it was a locket, she opened it and in one half was a picture of Georgie and Elvis and the other half of Charlie and Molly, SJ smiled "now you'll always have us with you. With that they all said goodnight and SJ hugged her dad "I'll see you soon Dad." And with that SJ and Georgie headed back to Manchester.
SJ and Georgie were cuddled up in bed when Georgie turned to SJ "SJ I've been asked to go out to Afgan again, and well I have no-one to leave you with apart from my mum and dad..." but SJ cut her off "mum please let me come, I'm an Army kid" Georgie smiles at SJ's reply "are you sure?" Georgie said "as long as fingers keeps away from my coco pops"
