"How long is he staying?" Anne whispered to Saoirse who had disassociated herself from the conversation amongst Amanda and the other Mums looking over at Julia and Liz's table as Kevin joined them. "Saoirse?" Anne nudged her sister with her elbow.
"What?"
"How long is Conor staying?"
"Fuck knows. Made him sleep on the sofa but he's practically took over my whole house.... i think he's up to something. Think he's in dodgy business again."
"Like what?"
"Well he's being alright with Orla, it's almost like we're a little family, we were having tea last night and he kept going out the room to make or answer phone calls."
"You going to talk to him?"
"I don't know, I'm scared if what I think is the truth. I don't trust him to begin with but this will fuck everything up. I hate the man but Orla needs her Dad."
"I'm sorry love." Anne pulls Saoirse onto her shoulder rubbing her back in comfort.
"I don't know what to do anymore."
"Want to come back to mine for a tea and a biccie?" Saoirse nodded as her and Anne got up collecting their kids together as they walked back to Anne's house.

"Right come on Orla love, you got all your stuff?" Saoirse called out as she gave Conor a side glare who wasn't helping but slumped on the sofa watching TV eating a sandwich.
"Where you going?"
"None of your business."
"Where you going love?" Conor asks again but to orla coming down the stairs with her swimming bag.
"Swimming party."
"You want me to come?"
"Not too busy stuffing your face with bacon sandwiches?"
"I'll always make time for my little girl." Conor smiled. "Give me a minute whilst I get my trunks." Conor ran up the stairs.
"Come on, love." Saoirse sighed. "Let's wait for your Dad in the car." Saoirse and Orla waited in the car for a few minutes till Conor ran out locking the house and jumping in the car as Saoirse drove them to the public pool the party was being held at.
"Hey love hey- Jesus Christ Conor!" Anne gasped slightly. "How are you?"
"I'm all good, been too long Alice."
"Anne." Saoirse corrected quietly.
"Anne, sorry."
"How long you staying with our Saoirse then?" Anne asked ignoring the slight glare from Saoirse.
"Not to sure, won't be too long, few days maybe then I'll get out of her hair." Conor chuckled placing his hand on her lower back, Saoirse shrugging it off instantly as everyone filed into the changing rooms. "Right I'll meet you out there."
Saoirse and Orla got changed together waiting for Conor by the edge of the pool. "Just get in love I'll be in a minute." Orla did as she was told and jumped in. "God knows how long it takes a man to put swimming trunks on." Saoirse mumbled to herself.
"5 minutes." Conor leaned down slightly scaring her.
"Jesus you trying to give me a heart attack? What do you want? Where are you even here?!"
"I told you I'm spending time with my kid. Not just your kid. My kid."
"Where was this 7 years ago when I was giving birth to her?"
"It was you who finished with me!"
"Yeah because you-"
"Oh hi Sheesha." Julia smiled as Saoirse subtly rolled her eyes at Julia pronouncing her name wrong yet again. "Who's this?"
"Julia, Liz, this is Conor, my ex."
"Orla's Dad, nice to meet you. So your Liz and Julia... Saoirse has spoken a lot about you and the other one what's his name."
"Kevin." Saoirse sighed.
"That's it Kevin! Not your fancy man eh Saoirse?" Conor chuckled.
"No! So you could remember Julia and Liz's name but you couldn't remember my own sister's name?"
"Okaayyyy." Julia broke the slight silence. "Right so we're going-"
"Yeah me too. Be careful you don't drown Conor."
"Hilarious." Conor rolled his eyes.

Saoirse was leaning on the wall of the pool at the side keeping an eye on Orla as she played with the other kids Conor next to her with Kevin and Julia. "So who's the hunk Saoirse?" Amanda chuckled next to her, Liz rolling her eyes the other side of Amanda.
"My ex."
"Well he is kinda out of your league not too surprised that you two separated." Amanda chuckled.
"I actually broke it off for good enough reasons, thank you."
"Oh touched a nerve." Amanda chuckled.
"Excuse me." Saoirse swam out going back into the changing rooms.
"Hey." Liz walked in after her.
"What do you want Liz I'm really not in the mood." Saoirse sighed not looking up from her phone.
"I just came in to see if you were alright."
"Like you ever give a shit." Saoirse mumbled walking back out to the pool.
