When a tear had escaped from Beth’s eye she soon heard Ebony tell her not to do that, and she gave her friend a watery smile and then sort of giggled a little. It was true that Beth was a very emotional girl, probably taking the emotions from both her daddies. Ebony then elaborated on what Beth had said by saying that they loved each other like family too and then hugged Beth giving her a kiss on the cheek. “Yes we do Ebs.” Beth replied and then hugged Ebony back; she didn’t know what she would do without Ebony in her life.
When Beth had made the throw away comment about there being at least one peanut butter slice in the cupboard too knowing that her daddy Dominic always looked after Stacey so well she had to giggle at Ebony’s response. She then put her hands up in mock surrender and giggled some more, “Don’t worry Ebs, it’s yours if there is one, I am sure I will find something else to snack on.” There was probably some popcorn kicking around if she knew her daddy well enough, so she might very well eat some of that.
When Beth spoke more about the money from her daddy knowing that he wouldn’t say no to it, Ebony had responded saying that she knew he had always looked out for them and was grateful and then mentioned about setting the media straight on how Beth really was. She gave Ebony a sad smile then, “Thanks Ebs, it would appear it makes no difference what daddy or daddy Sam say to them they still think I’m like the rest of the spoiled brats. It’s nice to be put in that category, not.” Beth replied getting a little angry and upset all over again. It was true that her daddy had spoiled her, but it was because he wanted to, it wasn’t because she had gone about demanding this, that or the next thing.
When Beth had spoken about coming back to this time to visit Dominic and Sam, she had sort of joked about babysitting for them and then fell about giggling knowing how absurd it sounded. Ebony had then replied saying that it would be kind of weird but she would probably know what to do if she was crying. Then Ebony began to giggle which went into a laugh. Beth was already giggling at what she had said and then Ebony added that she had just had an image of Beth cradling herself saying it would be funny to see. “Yeah, I reckon it would be kind of funny to see. I wouldn’t come back to visit them that much, I am sure that they will have their hands full with baby me, but I had an instant connection to my daddy at the airport and kind of don’t want to lose that, being friends with your daddy when there is only twelve years between you in this time is kind of cool you know?” Beth explained.
When the movie had begun to play Ebony had then spoken about wanting to visit her mom and dad in this time and had then added about wanting to find out about her biological dad. Beth had soon given her views on that, but hadn’t meant to hurt Ebony at all, she was just worried about her friend and didn’t want to see Ebony get hurt at all. However when she saw the obvious tears forming in Ebony’s eyes she knew she had upset her, and then Ebony spoke saying she thought she would have been more supportive and called her Bethany. Ebony never used her name in full like that unless she was angry at her. Ebony then began to run from the lounge out the door and Beth suddenly felt terrible.
She quickly got up from the sofa and followed Ebony out to where she went. “Ebs, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you, I am being supportive, and I was thinking about you when I said what I said. I’m just worried that if you meet him and he tells you he isn’t interested, what is that going to do to you? I just don’t want to see you hurt that’s all. Maybe I could come with you when you go to meet him.” Beth then approached Ebony standing behind had and wrapping her arms around her and resting her head on Ebony’s shoulder. “I really didn’t mean to upset you, my first thought was what if she goes to see him and he tells her where to go, I would hate for that to happen to you. Come on Ebony you know I only said what I said because I care about you and love you.”

Ebony hated hearing people say that Beth was a spoilt brat. She was nothing like that, and at least her closest friends and family knew better. "Well, don't you worry about them. Next time they say it to your face, let me get my fist in the way." Ebony never condoned violence, but this was her best friend, and if she got into a fight, then it was worth it.
After they laughed about Beth baby sitting herself as a baby, Beth then spoke of not coming back that much to visit, what with them having their hands full with baby her. Ebony nodded, when her best friend added that she didn't want to lose the connection with her father, what with only being twelve years apart, saying that it was cool. "I totally understand." Ebony was glad that Beth was able to stop her father from getting on the plane, it kind of work out for the best.
After saying to Beth, that she thought she would have been more supportive, in regards with finding out about her biological father, Ebony had run out the door, and had only managed to get a few steps when she started to cry. As she thought about what Beth had said, and just about everything, Ebony heard Beth speak to her from behind. She looked straight ahead as the tears continued to fall down her face. Ebony heard every word that Beth just said, and knew what she was saying was right. "Maybe... maybe that's..." But that was all she could get out, before she broke down again, placing her face in her hands.
Feeling Beth's arms around her made her cry even more, knowing what her best friend had just said was true. As Ebony continued to cry, she tried to take in the next lot of things Beth said, and it was just making more sense not to approach her mum about it, but on the other hand, Ebony was just as stubborn as her mother. After a couple of minutes of just standing there crying and being in Beth's arms, Ebony felt that she was starting to calm down somewhat, and she wiped at her eyes, as she turned around to face Beth.
She took in a few deep breaths, and wiped at her eyes again. Without any words, Ebony just hugged her friend, resting her head this time on Beth's shoulder. When she was sure she was alright to talk, she spoke, hoping it wouldn't be too muffled. "I love you too Beth, and I know what you are saying." She gave her a gentle squeeze, and pulled away from the embrace. "But I really want to meet him. I just have this feeling, that's all. Maybe he was this bad guy who my mum slept with. But for all she knows, he has changed or something. I am not making excuses for anyone, but I just feel that he has a right to know that he has a daughter."
Ebony walked away a little, but still continued to talk. "Maybe it's not my place to tell him, but I just want to meet him Beth. I love dad so much, but this guy is the one who is part of me. I just need to know."

When Ebony told Beth that the next time the press said to Beth’s face that she was a spoiled brat she was to let Ebony get her fist in the way all Beth could do was giggle a little and then gave Ebony a huge grin. “Well I’m sure they’ll soon think twice if you do.” Beth then put her arms around Ebony and hugged her like there was no tomorrow. “I’m so glad I’ve got you Ebs and I love you so much.” Beth really did love Ebony, she was more than just her best friend, she was more than just an ‘adopted’ cousin, Ebony was like the bigger sister she never had. It was nice to have someone look out for you like that and maybe one day Beth could be the one looking out for a younger sibling.
When Beth had explained to Ebony that she probably wouldn’t come back that often as they would have their hands full with baby her but didn’t want to lose the connection because in this time there was only twelve years between them Ebony replied saying she totally understood. This made Beth smile warmly at Ebony which was one of the many reasons why Beth loved her friend so much. But it was true that Beth had an instant connection with her daddy Dominic whether that was down to her saving him from getting a the plane that crashed or not she wasn’t sure but somehow she felt there was more to it than just that.
After Ebony had run out on Beth she had quickly got up and followed her friend and soon told her why she had said what she said saying that she was being supportive. She just didn’t want to see Ebony get hurt if her biological father knocked her back. Ebony didn’t seem to say anything the whole time Beth was talking but she didn’t expect much else. Ebony did eventually try to say anything but she wasn’t able to string the sentence together and this just prompted Beth to approach Ebony from behind and wrap her arms around Ebony hugging her. She had then spoken some more to Ebony trying to get her to understand how this could be upsetting for her.
Ebony soon turned to Beth and all she could do was to give her a sympathetic smile. Beth hated to see Ebony so upset and as much as she was worried about Ebony being rejected she could understand why Ebony would want to know where she came from. She just hoped for Ebony’s sake that when she met her biological father, if she was able to find out anything about him that he wouldn’t turn his back on her. After Ebony turned round to face Beth she watched as she wiped at her eyes and then she hugged Beth. Beth already had her arms around Ebony so just pulled her closer into the hug. Hearing Ebony say that she loved her too and she knew what she was saying made Beth feel less guilty for upsetting Ebony with what she had said to her. Beth than felt Ebony give her a gentle squeeze, “I’m glad you know what I mean I’m just sorry the way I said it initially upset you.”
Ebony then pulled out of the embrace and spoke again saying that she still wanted to meet him and that he could have changed and had a right to know he had a daughter. All of what Ebony said Beth couldn’t really argue with. “You’re right Ebs on everything, just please don’t go alone, can you do that much for me? At least then if it all goes wrong you have someone you can turn to for immediate support. You can take me, or maybe even your mom or dad from this time. I just don’t want to see you get hurt because you know we have this twin like connection thing going on which does sound ridiculous as we aren’t twins, but you know if you hurt then I feel it too and I’m pretty sure that it’s reciprocated.” Beth wouldn’t mind going with Ebony and just being in the background for support should anything go wrong, after all Ebony agreed to come to this time with her to help save her daddy from a bad accident.
Ebony began to walk away and Beth followed her and listened to what Ebony said about it maybe not being in her place to tell him but she just wanted to meet him. She added that she loved her dad so much and Beth knew she was referring to David the only dad she had ever known but that this biological father was a part of her and she just needed to know. “I do understand where you’re coming from Ebs. I dare say it won’t be easy for your mom or your dad to hear that you want to track him down, but they must have had an idea that you would want to find out eventually. Like I said before I just don’t want you to get hurt.” Beth didn’t know how Ebony would feel about having her go with her but if she definitely refused, then Beth was pretty sure she’d make sure she could be on hand anyway, just in case.

Seeing Beth giggle at Ebony’s comment on how she was going to deal with the paparazzi made Ebony smile, then listen to what her best friend had to say about it. Ebony nodded enthusiastically, and then watched and felt Beth put her arms around her. Hearing her add more made Ebony smile, wrapping her own arms around Beth. “Me too. Not sure what I would do without you. And ditto from me.” Ebony wondered where she would be if she didn’t have Beth in her life. She knew if she was alone and only had her mum, as much as she loved her, she knew that she would end up like Stacey. Though some things weren’t that bad, despite some traits which she wished she didn’t have.
When Beth told her that she was glad that she knew what she meant, in regards to what she said earlier, Ebony sighed a little. Ebony then pulled away, and said that she still wanted to meet her biological dad, adding that he could have changed, and he had a right to know he had a daughter. She wiped at her eyes again with one hand, and listened to what Beth had to say in reply. When she asked for Ebony to promise to not go alone, Ebony nodded slowly. “I think I can do that much for you,” Ebony said in a small voice. She then listened more to what Beth said, and when she said that she could take her, Ebony gave her a small smile. Ebony knew the person she would want to take with her already. When Beth was finally finished, Ebony kind of giggled a little, “Well that was a bit of a ramble. And ...” Ebony moved her arms from around Beth’s body, and took her hands in her own. “... I would very much like to have you with me when I visit him.” Ebony hoped that nothing would happen. Thinking about it was kind of making her nervous. But she knew she had to know who he was, despite her mother not wanting anything to do with him. Well that was the impression she got whenever she tried to get information about him out of her.
Ebony had then begun to walk away a little, talking about how much she loved her dad, David, but wanted to know her other father. She stopped, and turned to face Beth, who responded. She nodded when Beth said she understood, and then added that she dare say it won’t be easy for Ebony’s parents to hear about what she wanted to do. When Beth was finished, Ebony nodded, and bit on her bottom lip. She looked at Beth then, “I just wish that mom had mentioned him more, you know. Now I will have to visit them and ask her outright about the whole thing.” Ebony then gave Beth a small smile, “How about we go inside, and watch the movie. I am too exhausted to talk about anything.” She giggled a little, and wrapped an arm around Ebony. “Let’s go finish off Notting Hill.”

When Beth had made Ebony promise not to go alone when meeting her biological father she wasn’t sure how Ebony would react to it, but thankfully she nodded her head slowly and spoke saying that she thought she could do that much for Beth. Beth gave her a weak smile, “Thanks Ebs.” Okay so neither of them knew her biological father and obviously from the way Ebony’s mom had reacted any time he was mentioned he couldn’t be good, but everyone was entitled to a fair chance and as Ebony had said he may have changed. Beth had then sort of rambled about how she and Ebony had a twin like connection even though it sounded ridiculous as they weren’t even blood related and when Ebony began to speak saying what Beth had said was a bit of a ramble and had giggled a little, which made Beth giggle back. Beth realised that everything she had said had come out in a slight ramble, but that was Beth. “It was a bit of a ramble yeah, but I’m glad that you want me to be there when you visit him.” Even if the main part of her power wasn’t working, her teleportation was, and if it got nasty she would be able to teleport Ebony away in seconds.
When Beth had said that she dare say that her parents wouldn’t take the news too well about Ebony wanting to find her biological father she saw Ebony bite down on her bottom lip and then spoke saying she wished that her mom had spoken about him more. Beth nodded her head slowly, “Yeah, it’s not going to be easy for you either, I have to admit, that despite how you mom may have felt about him, she should have told you more. Although when I was asked at school about why I don’t have a mom I just shrugged it off saying I loved both my daddies and Aunt Stace, I don’t need other parental figures in my life. I guess when you’ve never had someone you never miss them, if that makes sense.” Beth sort of rambled again but giggled right after it and playfully nudged into Ebony. From the moment Beth was old enough and her daddy Dominic told her about how she was conceived she had just felt all the more loved because she knew how much she had been wanted so she had never felt like she missed having a mom. Who needed anything else but unconditional love from two fathers and everyone else surrounding you and that’s exactly what Beth got.
Ebony then gave Beth a smile and asked about going back inside to watch the movie as she was too exhausted to talk about anything else and had then put her arm around Beth. Beth put her arm around Ebony and smiled warmly at her, “Sounds like a plan to me.” Beth replied and then walked back toward the house with Ebony glad that they had managed to get over their little upset as the last thing Beth needed or wanted was to lose her friendship with Ebony after all it sure as hell would have been very awkward for everyone else if she and Ebony couldn’t stand to be in the same room as each other especially since her daddy got on so well with Ebony’s mom.
{ooc - finished?}
