"Don't you ever talk to my daughter like that. My children are the best things that have ever happened to me and there both beautiful" John shouted at mimi

" well maybe you should install some manners into that child then maybe i wouldnt have to speak to her like that"

"she has manners. she has fighting spirit and you dont have to speak to her like that . She is my daughter it  is up to me and Cyn to tell her off when needed not you."

John walked off and left Mimi standing there and went up to India's room where she was laying on the bed

" bet you regret wanting to meet Mimi now " he laughed

" Daddy she is horrible" she replied sitting up on her bed so she was now facing John

" she doesnt mean to be horrible its just the way she says things. She grew up with sisters and there all strong opinionated women and she is the oldest so she was in charge of her sisters so she had to be tough to keep everyone in check then she had this cheeky lad named John to raise and believe me i was hard work so she had to be tough"

" i feel bad for being mean to her now but she kinda deserved it "

"she did. come on lets get some dinner"

Everyone was already sat round the dining room table waiting for us and Hollie was sat next to Mimi. I walked into the dining room while holding daddys hand

" aint you abit to old to be holding John's hand your not a baby" Mimi spat

I was suddenly embarrassed and let go of daddies hand and stared at the ground wishing it to swollow me up

" my baby is never to old to hold my hand she is my little girl and i dont care how old she gets she will always have my hand to old so leave her alone mimi" John responded his own anger rising

" come on baby lets sit down and get some dinner" John said to India grabbing her hand and leading her to the table

" well what do my like munchkins want for christmas this year?."

" toys daddy i want lots of toys." Hollie shouted her excitment nearly unbearable for her

" what about you India?."

" im not sure daddy i think i want a microphone ."

" a microphone. " John said shocked

" yes my choir teacher said that if i had a microphone i could practice at home so i dont freeze up the second i step in front of micophone. The more im in front of a microphone the less scared ill be."

John smiled from ear to ear he was so proud that his daughter was intrested in music and she is such a talented singer he knew that she is a far better singer than he is.

" well i think a microphone isnt to much to ask for."

  " India" Cynthia said interupting the conversation

" yes mum"

" i was cleaning your room and i found this under your bed"

Cynthia put a huge jar on the table which was full of money

" i can't believe you were snooping" India shouted

" oh someones been stealing" Mimi said

" oh be quiet Mimi this is nothing to do with you" India shot back

" where did all this money come from?. there is well ove £1000 there. Where did you get this kind of money?."

" you have to spoil everything mum." India shouted while beginning to cry

" you havent answered my question young lady"

" I have been saving all my pocket money all year  and the money i get for chores i have saved it all"

" but why?" cyn asked confused

" because i was wanting to get daddys car painted all those bright colours that he was wanting for christmas i was saving all year to surprise him and you snooped and ruined everything"

" oh baby im so sorry i did not know " Cyn felt incredibly guilty

" sweetie you dont need to get me something so expensive and you did not have to save your money all year honey having such a thoughtfull daughter like you is all the present i need."

" im sorry daddy that your surprise got ruined but i want you to take the money i saved so far and get your car painted"

" i cant take your money"

" but i want you to"

" i honestly dont need to take your money. you take it and spend it on yourself"

" but i dont need anything"

" i would forever feel guilty that you spent your money on me so please buy yourself something"

" well you dont want it and i dont need it so can i donate it to a charity where they put the money towards giving the needy kids toys and food so they can have a christmas?"

John was shocked at how generous his daughter was. she had around £1000 that she could spend on herself but she wanted to give it to charity to help others.

" you never stop amazing me. of course you can do that sweetie thats a lovely thing to do"

They spent the rest of there evening just talking about christmas and planning who to invite when Mimi piped in

" yous do know im staying for christmas"

Everyone went silent and they just stared at each other completly shocked at her statement

" well thats gonna be fun" India said walking to the stairs

" goodnight"
