Meh, It's not my best, but I tried...I hope you enjoy this, though. Keep a look out for Part three :)

"Are you sure you're going to be okay? I mean, if you need anything just call and I'll come right back," Y/n smiles as her sister fussed about, making wild hand gestures.

Y/n knows Jeanette has been working her butt off since God knows when, and now she finally gets a day off and Y/n made it her duty to make sure that she spends it right.

She had agreed to watch her son for the day, allowing Jeanette to spend some quality time with her boyfriend, Seth.

"No, J, go ahead. You deserve time off, Ethan and I will be fine." Jeanette looked ready to drop everything even though Y/n reassured her, again.

"You're a God sent, Y/n. I'll see you later," Jeanette says, kissing her cheek before slipping away.

Y/n quietly closes the door behind her. Y/n heads back to the living room where Ethan was currently watching the telly, giggling at every silly thing that happens. "So Bud, what do you wanna do today hmm? We've got the whole day to ourselves." Y/n says, plopping down on the couch next to the seven year old.

Ethan looks away from the telly, turning to face Y/n, his grey eyes innocent and curious. "Can we get ice cream?" Y/n laughs, knowing that would be the first thing he would ask for. "Well, your mom left a shopping list, so we could get it later," she smiles and Ethan nods, apparently satisfied with her answer.

Soon, Y/n had made him breakfast; eggs and toast. She had always enjoyed spending time with her nephew, he doesn't happen often, but Y/n tries to be there as much as she can for him and her sister.

There was another reason why she agreed to watch Ethan, so she could perhaps get William Holmes out of her head.

Since she left his flat three nights ago, she couldn't stop thinking about him. She had expected him to come to the bar the night after, but he didn't show, and now Y/n is stuck trying to figure what to tell him if she ever does see him again.

She thought at first, that it was only because he saved her from a lot of trouble that night is why he keeps popping up in her mind. Like a knight in shinning amour kind of thing. But she only realised it wasn't that when she had sliced her finger cutting up mushrooms when she was making Ethan's breakfast.

He was like an annoying stain you just can't get out of a tee shirt, no matter how many times you've washed it.

She's only thought about a guy this much once, and that was in the ninth grade. A very long time ago, when childish crushes were a thing. The thought of her having a crush is just... no. That's it. She doesn't even know the guy to begin with.

But like she said, it's that knight in shinning amour thing.
Later on in the day, Y/n decided to take Ethan out for lunch, going to a dinner some streets away from her sister's flat. Then they went to the grocery to pick up the few things Jeanette had put on the list, plus, Ethan's ice-cream.

Y/n held her nephew's hand while looking through the list in her other hand. There wasn't much things to get, and Jeanette had left enough money to get everything there, sans the ice-cream which Y/n'll pay for.

Ethan was busy pushing the shopping cart with his free hand, staying close to Y/n like she's asked him to. "Okay, I'm watching you, go get your ice-cream," the dark haired boy skips over to the dairy section, Y/n keeping an eye on him from where she stood. As he came back with the medium sized tub of what seemed to be cherry-vanilla, Y/n looks through the list again.
