"Who's cute?" Ivy butted in Fiona and Veronica's conversation about Jimmy
"Chicken in the bucket." Fiona offered to Ivy in which she took a piece.
"Steves back , married to some South American teenager . What did Adam do?" Veronica Asked Fiona who was putting washing in the washing machine.
"Took off left me there." Fiona sighed she was never good with men.
"Cant blame him." Ivy sighed , not even knowing what they were on about
"How's ethel doing?" Fiona questioned
"She's in shock, I think. Poor thing . Husband murdered in prison." Veronica spoke as if that sounded completely normal
"Mm. who got murdered?" Ian asked as he walked down the stairs and took a piece of chicken
"Ethel's husband . Clyde." Ivy answered.
"Cool." Carl grinned at Ivy
"Kev thinks the state might send her back now that her sclerotic husband is dead." Veronica fretted not wanting to loose the bond she had built with her foster child
"I still can't believe she's married." Ivy scoffed as she bit into her chicken
"Grammy still here?" Ian asked everyone
"Mm-mmm. Left with frank." Ivy replied
"Lip there's chicken." Fiona smiled at lip who had just walked through the door .
Ivy and Ian looked at each other with straight faces as lip grabbed chicken and walked around the two flipping them off as he did so.
"Still?" Fiona groaned, she hated the drama within the family.
"What's that all about?" Veronica asked , Ian had walked off upstairs but Ivy stayed
"Karen I think." Fiona replied
"Will this summer ever end?" Ivy complained
"I take it your part of the problem?" Veronica gathered.
"Veronica I don't wanna talk about it."
—————
The following day everyone was at Karen's house for her wedding thingy . Ivy for sure didn't wanna be there but Ian had forced her to come earlier that morning to show respect and kindness . that what's he said ..
"Congrats Karen." Ivy smirked
"Ivy not right now." Ian whispered in her ear, wanting to her to just be quiet.
"Thanks Ivy means a lot ." Karen smiled
"How many others boys you fucked while dat-." Ian then pulled her away before she could say anything else
"Are you kidding me Ivy! Don't ruin her wedding day please." She scoffed at Ian before going to walk out only to bump into someone
"So sorry." She looked up and saw lip "why are you here?"
"What I wanted to congratulate the, uh, happy couple ." His words slurred.
"Jesus you smell like a brewery. Go home lip." She attempted to push him back out to take him home but he wasn't letting that happen.
"Cant tell me what to do Ivy." He grinned before pushing past her and going towards his Grammy
"Ian , lips here and he's refusing to leave." Ivy quickly said to Ian but before he could reply Sheila insisted on saying a speech about her lovely adorable little baby Karen which Ivy was sick of the minute she started .
"Holy shit." Ivy laughed as Sheila embarrassed Karen by going on about her sex with frank and then her dads penis.
"But she's made some wonderful friends along the way like lip and all the Gallaghers!" Sheila cheered
"Is that bitch ever gonna shut up." The Gallaghers Grammy spoke up
"Keeps ur words to yourself 'bitch'" Ivy snarled back at Grammy.
"And franks mother ! We're just so honoured that you're here , even though you weren't even invited and not really honoured because you're a convicted felon but you're out now aren't you? Why did they let you out? Because your a loud mean vicious bitch!"
Gasps came from everyone's mouth I mean shocking that , that came from Sheila's mouth was all that Ivy could think of as Ian chuckled beside her
"Why don't you do yourself and everyone else a favour and shut up?" Grammy replied
"Have I offended you? In my home where you're an interloper?" Sheila argued.
"No one's wants to hear it you fucking windbag," Grammy yelled back, it was getting intense.
"Okay mom let's go upstAirs." Karen awkwardly smiled trying to lead her mum up the stairs.
"She called me a wacker drive whore and I don't know how an angel like that man could come out of your poisoned womb." Sheila argued
"Shut up you batty bitch."
"You know what! You've got a demon mind and devils womb and heart and your coochie smells like brimstone and sulfur." Sheila yelled
"I will fuck you up." Grammy screamed as she whipped out a gun and pointed it towards Sheila
"Shit!" Ivy clapped her hands, even though she was shitting herself this was the most entertaining thing she'd seen in awhile.
As Sheila screamed do it , Jimmy ran towards the gun and pointed it upwards as Grammy shot it .
"Now this is what a good party is." Ian slapped ivys arm as she said that , he dragged her out the back so they'd be safe .
"She is nuts." Ian scoffed
"Sheila or your Grammy?"
"Both."
The both laughed their way down the streets back to The Gallagher house
—————
"Hey Jimmy it's Fiona I just wanted to say go fuck yourself." Fiona yelled as she stormed past Ivy who stood in the kitchen with Grammy and Debbie
"You told her?" Ivy mouthed to debs as she nodded
"You knew Ivy!" Fiona moved to stand infront of Ivy, blocking her off from leaving the corner in the kitchen.
"No what?" She played dumb but clearly not dumb enough
"You both knew yet said nothing!" Fumed fiona, she was practically giving death stares to both gingers.
"I was getting paid . I needed the money." Ivy shrugged, there was no point in lying.
"What's all this?" Fiona asked pointing at the thing Grammy just passed over to debs.
"A new laptop this is so awesome." Debbie smiled before getting all into the new gadget Grammy had bought.
"Ethel and Jonah are gone." Kevin said as he opened the back door, panicking.
"Did she say anything to you debs?" Veronica asked Debbie who stood there cluelessly
"Should call a social worker." Ivy suggested
"On it let's go!" Veronica dragged Kevin out
"If she shows up call us." Ivy held her thumbs up at them while they walked out.
———————
"You guys still not talking?" Fiona shot all three a serious look before crashing was heard from behind her "Carl!" She yelled as Carl fell through where the washing was thrown
"What the fuck." Ian jumped
"Why have I never done that before?" Carl grinned, rubbing the back of his head from the impact it had with the floor.
"You have too much time on your hands . Summer school next year . Go have some breakfast" Fiona shoved him along.
"How much we looking at with the winter squirrel fund?" Lip asked , Fiona was counting the money that everyone had been putting money in.
"Just over nine grand" Fiona replied as she put the money back into the box.
"That's all we made to get us through winter?" Ivy scoffed, thinking they'd all earned a bit more than that.
"Frank screwed us when he gave Liam away. Then there was the compressor for the fridge." The list went on and on.
"And the stuff for liams infection." Ivy kissed liams head before heading over to the sink to place her bowl away.
"Everyone needs to get winter jobs debs get down here!" Fiona called
"Coming Fiona!"
"Okay so everyone school supplies and clothing nothing else." Fiona placed a roll of money infront of everyone "no candy drugs beer or concert tickets I want receipts."
"What if the drugs are really good?" Jasmine said as she jumped out from the toilet
"Still here?"
"Yup I got caught up reading a magazine." She waved the magazine in the air.
"That's mine." Debbie snatched the magazine from jasmines hands.
"Debs I need you to find the backpacks and any old school books. Carl put the daycare supplies back in the basement . Lip , you Ian and Ivy clean the pool. There's a few surprises in there for you." She laughed as they were on duty of cleaning a pool that has long awaited a good scrub.
"Carl tell lip to do it himself."
Ivy demanded.
"Lip. Ivy says you can do it yourself." Carl repeated for her, he was very easily influenced.
"Carl tell Ivy and Ian that they are Both douche bags for not talking to me." Lip passed his message back through Carl.
"Lip says your being douche-," Ian then covered Carl's mouth with his hand, not wanting to hear it again.
"I'm not talking to you because you kissed me lip. I have nothing to do with what's going on with you and Ian but you kissed me." Ivy blurted out, exposing lip to the family.
"You kissed Ivy?" Fiona's smile dropped
"Uh, I didn't mean to." Lip awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
"But you did?" Fiona's brow cocked at her younger brother as she waited for a response
"Yes Fiona I did." He fessed, surrendering his hands in the air.
Fiona then kicked lips leg making him hiss from the pain.
"Don't ever kiss her again lip . She's like our sister. Sort yourselves out before school starts."
———————
"You okay?" Ivy asked Fiona who was pacing up and down the kitchen waiting for the door.
'Knock knock knock'
"Hey!" Jimmy smiled as she opened the door, letting himself into the house.
"I didn't text you back for a reason". Fiona groaned, not in the mood for any more arguments.
"I wanna explain Fiona"
"Don't . I got everything I need . Jimmy. I'm still Fiona by the way. When I found out that you were married I was hurt but when you had a whole other life I realised I dodged a bullet." She exploded, Ivy could tell that felt good for Fiona just for her to let it all out.
"I was trying to explain at the restaurant." Jimmy begun.
"Restaurant? What restaurant?" Ivy interrupted
"Went out for lunch didn't go well." Jimmy replied
"You don't need to explain , we r cool and everything's great Jimmy steve." Fiona sat down and was about to ignore anything else that came out of jimmy's mouth.
"Alright times up Jim Jim out." Ivy jumped out of her chair and grabbed his arms and pulled him out of the back door .
"You told her didn't you." Jimmy whispered
"Not me. Debbie." She pushed Jimmy down the steps before going inside "maybe should've let him speak a bit more Fiona."
"You're probably right." She buried her head in her hands.
——————
"Karen and I are getting back together she ditched Jody now I can step up." Lip said as he entered the room in which Debbie Ivy and Ian where in. "Be a father to our kid."
"Why what's wrong with jody?" Debbie wondered
"He's a tool."
"He is?"
"Mm-mmm."
"How will I know if I'm dating a tool?" Debbie asked.
"You'll figure it out debs . Or we'll beat the shit out of him for you." Lip pretended to beat Ivy up as an example but Ivy just sat there.
"Okay cool thanks lip." Debbie then picked up all her clothes which she had bought for back to school and left the room.
"Pathetic." Ian chuckled while lip walked away
"Ladies and gentlemen, he speaks!" Lip pretended to cheer as he turned to face Ian.
"You could have anything you want. This is the life you choose?" Ian laughed in lips face, a kid with Karen Jackson was something lip didn't need especially when Ivy had a feeling it wasn't even his child.
"Ian , I'm not gonna split on my kid like frank." Lip declared, he'd always wanted to be able to treat his younger siblings or future child in the way Frank never did.
"Fucking waste." Ian scoffed
"You know what , your the one that's literally fucking her brother. Even the pentagon says it's okay to be gay but you're too chickenshit to let anyone know." Lip cursed.
"Least I'm not getting trapped by some skank." Ian argued back.
"Fuck you!" Lip pushed Ian's arm violently, throwing him back a little.
"You'll probbaly quit school and start working at bestbuy." Ivy snorted at Ian's comments.
"Keep your mouth shut Ivy!" Lip snapped at the girl who stayed sat on the Couch.
"I wonder how long it takes before you start huffing glue."
Then Grammy walked in ...
"Stop! I know what's going on here saw it with my own boys . One of the lions has to leave the den strongest one's got a push the other one out or eat him. Only one way to resolve this . Somebody's gotta bleed. Fight it out."
"Why are you making them fight? What the fuck is that gonna do Grammy." Ivy slapped her forehead before laying down .
"Six , under the 'L' ,"
"Fine."
