Sorry for the huge pause on this, mainly just hot weather and feeling really crappy lately. So i hope this chapter makes up for it. 

Charlie looked in the mirror as she finished getting ready she couldn't believe today was the day. She was going to get to see and hug her dad. She finished brushing her hair and then started brushing her teeth. Stephen walks in just as she is finishing.

Stephen" Are you excited?"

Charlie*nods* Really excited like so excited"

Stephen*holds Charlie* I told you we would eventually be allowed to see people again"

Charlie" I was reading up on social bubbles and we can only mix with a small number of friends and family and stay within that bubble"

Stephen" Yeah that's right"

Charlie" I just can't wait to hug dad and never let him go"

Stephen" I'm sure he feels the same"

Charlie*hugs Stephen* I'm happy I was trapped in lockdown with you Stephen and not on my own think I would have gone mad"

Stephen*squeezes her tight* I'm glad I have been stuck in lockdown with you too"

They hold each other tight for a few minutes before Charlie grabs her things and Stephen grabs his keys. They arrive at Dec and Ali's house and Charlie couldn't wait to get out of the car. She hops out and runs up to the door. Stephen follows behind her swinging his keys from his fingers. The wait is quite long and when the door opens and Charlie and Dec look at each other for a few minutes before grabbing each other in an embrace and holds each other tight. Dec pulls Charlie inside and Stephen shuts the door after himself. They hold each other so close.

Charlie*grips Dec so hard* Oh dad I missed you so much"

Dec" I have missed you too Charlie, so so much"

They stay hugging for a good ten minutes before letting go. Rocky runs up and Charlie picks him up.

Charlie" Rocky, I've missed you so much"

Dec and Stephen laugh as Rocky licks Charlie's face. She cuddles his small frame and smothers him in kisses.

Dec still places his arm around Charlie and holds her into his side. They go into the garden and Ali is with Isla.

Isla" Charlie"

Charlie" Hello Isla"smiles*waves at her* Wish I could hug her you but I don't want to get you ill"

Dec" You probably couldn't but better safe than sorry"

Charlie" Of course I'm just happy I get to hug my dad"

Dec*hugs her close*

Ali" We was thinking of going to the park with a picnic"

Charlie" That sounds amazing but what about food"

Ali" Oh we bought your food the other day in preparation for the day when he heard about the social circles"

Charlie*smiles* Oooo yay, well a picnic sounds like a great idea"

Ali" Good I'll go get all the food ready"

Charlie" I'll help you"

They head into the kitchen and Dec looks at Stephen and they man hug.

Stephen" I'm so happy we can hug each other again, Charlie has been so excited for this day since they announced it"

Dec" Aww, I have felt exactly the same way abut this too, just to hug my eldest daughter again"
