A day out with Uncle Stephen (1998)

Ever wondered why Charlie so close with Stephen well this chapter explains all.


Dec watched his little girl playing with her toys on the floor he couldn't believe she was going to be five soon. He had had such help raising her, she had many mothers and many male figures as well, ever since Clare left he had been wondering how he would cope with everything.


Charlie" Daddy look, I drew a dog"


Dec" I see that, well done"*sits down by her* So you excited to start school?"


Charlie" But daddy I will miss you so much"


Dec" Awwww aren't you the cutest thing ever"*kisses her forehead*


Charlie" Daddy, I love you like this much"*holds her hands out very wide*


Dec" Yeah well I love you this much"*holds his arms open*


The door then shuts and Stephen walks in.


Stephen" Morning all"


Charlie"UNCLE STEPHEN"


Charlie runs at Stephen and he picks her up.


Stephen" Hello cheeky, ready to have some fun today?" *tickles her belly*


Charlie" Yay"*giggling* No Stephen tickles"


Stephen*tickles her*blows on her belly*


Charlie" Uncle Stephen"*giggling* It tickles, no"


Stephen*stops tickling Charlie*spins her round in his arms*


Charlie" I love you Uncle Stephen"


Stephen" I love you as well"*kisses her forehead*


Ant then walked in and Charlie looks at him before cuddling with Stephen still.


Ant" Morning all, morning little Donnelly"


Charlie" Uncle Ant"


Ant*goes to take her*


Charlie*nestles in Stephen* Want Stephen"


Stephen" She is so cute isn't she"


Ant" You know if she wasn't yours I would swear she was Stephen's"


Dec" Shut up man"


Charlie" Am I yours Stephen?"


Stephen" No sweetheart you are your dad's daughter"


Dec" Thanks for doing this Stephen"


Stephen" Hey its okay anything for my mates"


Dec gets up and looks at Charlie.


Dec" Now you behave for Uncle Stephen won't you"


Charlie" Yes daddy"


Dec" Good I'll see you later have fun with Stephen"


Charlie" Bye daddy"


Stephen" So what do you want to do, shall we get breakfast?"


Charlie" Yay"


Stephen" Come on then"


Stephen put Charlie on the counter as he looks for the breakfast.


Charlie" Daddy says I have to have healthy things"


Stephen" Well, I did bring something special for you, but I won't tell your dad if you don't"


Charlie"YAY"


Stephen then walked in with some chocolate stars and put them on the table.


Charlie" Chocolate, yay thank you Uncle Stephen" *hugs him*


Stephen" Don't tell your daddy it will be our little secret"


Charlie" Okay Stephen"*smiles*


Stephen sits down at the table with his tea.


Stephen" So are you excited for school?"


Charlie" I will miss daddy"


Stephen" Yeah but you will learn all sorts of new things"


Charlie" Did you like school Uncle Stephen?"


Stephen" It was okay people used to take the mic out of me because I liked magic"


Charlie" Don't worry Stephen I love you"


Stephen*smiles* Thank you Charlie"


Stephen watched as Charlie was eating her chocolate stars but had got it all over her face and all over her clothes.


Stephen" You messy thing you what are you like, we might have to give you a wash before go out"


Charlie*giggles*holds her arms up*


Stephen*picks her up in his arms*


He took her to the bathroom and sits her on the sink. He grabs some wipes from the side and begins to wipe her face round.


Stephen" You messy thing"


Charlie" Have I got to have a bath Stephen?"


Charlie" You might have to, you are covered in chocolate we don't want daddy to find out do we"*pokes her side*


Charlie*giggling* No Stephen"


Stephen helped Charlie get undressed and then ran the bath for her, he made sure it was warm enough before lifting her in the bath. He tipped lots of bubble bath and gave her, her toys. He then picked up sponge and began to wash her as she played with her toys and bubbles.


Stephen" So what do you want to do today?"


Charlie". Can we go to the park Stephen?'


Stephen" Of course we can, I thought we could do that maybe get a ice cream or something then maybe go see your dad on set"


Charlie" Yay, your the best Stephen, your my favourite uncle"


Stephen" Thank you, better than Ant"


Charlie" Yeah"*playing with her boats*


Stephen" Shall we get out in a minute, go get ready"


Charlie" I want to play some more Stephen"


Stephen" Okay well five more minutes"


Charlie" Yay"


Stephen's phone the rang and he answered it and it was Dec.


Dec" Hey Stephen just about to go telly, how is Charlie?"


Stephen" She is being a good girl she got a bit dirty, dropped her breakfast down her so I decided to give her bath you should I could didn't you"


Dec" Yeah it's okay Stephen I trust you, I'll text you later when we come off set"


Stephen" Okay, I'll see you later"


Charlie' Who was that Stephen*playing with bubbles*


Stephen" That was your daddy and he said he will see you later"


Charlie" Yay"


Stephen" Shall we get out now"


Charlie" Okay"


Stephen" Good girl, come on then"


Charlie then held her arms up as Stephen lifted her out and he wrapped a towel round her.


Stephen" Get you all dressed and ready to go out"


Stephen got her some clothes out and looked at Charlie.


Stephen" Do you need help getting dressed?"


Charlie" No daddy says I should learn to get dressed myself"


Stephen" Okay, I'll go pack a lunch for us"


Stephen went downstairs and began to pack a lunch for them both, he made sure he packed dairy free things for Charlie, she had been intolerant to dairy when she was baby would always cough it up. He packed her lunch in her new Teletubbies lunch bag she had got for school, he then heard her come downstairs and he could tell she was coming down on her bum, her face appeared round the corner and he watched her come in to the kitchen.


Stephen" I see you got a new lunch box"


Charlie" Yay, yeah Uncle Ant bought it for me"


Stephen" Well I might have to get you something since I am your favourite uncle"


Charlie"Yay, Stephen"


Stephen" Now you go get your shoes on and then we can go"


Stephen looked at Charlie she was looking out the window as they drove to the park, when they pulled up Stephen went round and undone her belt and picked her up as they walked over to the play park. He carefully watched Charlie as she played on the apparatus while he read his magazine. He looked up every so often he then saw paps, properly looking for a story he then watched them come over. Since Dec was very much in the spotlight his split from Clare after they had a baby was very much still in the media they always wanted to know how Dec done it and even sometimes tried to get Charlie to say something. He then watched as they got closer and closer, he ran over to Charlie and took her in his arms.


Charlie"Stephen where are we going?"


Stephen" We have to go, come on I'm sorry"


Charlie*starts crying* I don't want to leave"


The paps approached Stephen and tried to ask him questions, Charlie hid in his shoulder. Stephen managed to make his way to the car and slotted Charlie in buckling her up, he slipped in the front and drove off.


Charlie"Stephen what did they want?"


Stephen*looks in his mirror* Never you mind, shall we go somewhere else"


Charlie" Okay"


They had a bit of better luck in a shopping centre as there was more people about and he could keep an eye on Charlie better. They entered a toy shop and Charlie was running around looking at things.


Stephen" You pick something out and I will get you it"


Charlie" Yay, thank you Stephen"


Stephen" Your welcome"


He stood watching Charlie as she looked at everything. A woman approached him and smiled.


Woman" They adorable aren't they?"


Stephen*smiles* Yeah they are, she isn't mine though, my best mates"


Woman" Awww you looking after her for the day"


Stephen" This morning we are going to see her dad on set later"


Woman" Oh is he a actor"


Stephen" Presenter does morning telly for kids"


Woman" Wait I recognise you now, your the one who is on tv with Ant and Dec"


Stephen" Yeah that's me"


Woman" Don't worry I won't make a fuss, so you are looking after his daughter that is so cute"


Stephen" Thanks she is such a good girl"


Charlie then runs up to Stephen.


Charlie" Stephen can I have this?"*holds up a tele tubby*


Stephen" Of course"


Woman" Hello there"


Charlie*hides behind Stephen*


Woman" Awwww bless her"


Stephen said bye to the woman and went to pay for the toy. As the morning went on they met more people who recognised Stephen and after all he excitement they decided to have something to eat. They sat on one of the benches and ate the lunch Stephen had packed, he wiped Charlie's face when she got yoghurt down it.


Charlie" Stephen thank you for my toy"


Stephen" You are welcome Charlie, shall we go see your daddy I think he will be off set by now" 


Charlie" Yay"


They exited the shopping centre and went to the car, Stephen lifted Charlie into the car and buckled her up before hopping in the front. They arrived at ITV studios and Stephen held Charlie's hand as they walked into reception.


Mary" Hey Stephen, hello Charlie"


Charlie*hides in Stephen*


Mary" She is so cute, Ant and Dec are in studio seven"


Stephen"Thanks Mary, come on then you"


They reached set and Dec was chatting with Ant when he was attacked by Charlie.


Charlie" Daddy!"


Dec" Hello Cheeky"*picks her up* Did you have a good day with Stephen?"


Charlie" Yay, yeah he bought me a tele tubby"


Dec" Awww well lucky you, was you a good girl for Stephen?"


Stephen" She was, she was even calm when the paps were around"


Dec*puts Charlie down* Charlie go see Uncle Ant"


Charlie"Okay Daddy"


Charlie runs off to Ant who picks her up.


Dec" You got caught by the paps"


Stephen" Yeah they ambushed us at the park I didn't answer anything"


Dec" I just wish they would leave us alone, did you have a good day apart from that?"


Stephen" Yeah Charlie was a good girl for me, we had fun went in the toy shop and I bought her a little something"


Dec" Thanks for looking after her Stephen"


Stephen" Is she not aloud on set I mean its a children show isn't it"


Dec" I know but I would feel safer if she was with someone I knew maybe when she a bit older maybe"


Stephen" Understood, think she will ever go into showbiz like you"


Dec*thinks* Well I think if she turned round to me and said Daddy can I do what you do I wouldn't say no but maybe when she is like ten or eleven"


Stephen"Okay"


Dec" Thanks again for looking after her"


Stephen" It's okay I love taking care of her she is like a mini you"


Dec*laughs* Yeah she has my cheekiness, got Clare's eyes though"


Stephen" Yeah I can tell"


Charlie runs over to Dec and he picks her up.


Dec" Say goodbye Uncle Stephen Charlie"


Charlie" Bye Uncle Stephen, thank you"


Stephen" Your welcome Charlie, high five"


Stephen high fives Charlie and kisses her on the forehead.


So I have been meaning to write this for a while, I mean you have seen Charlie is so close to Stephen but why, I thought I would give a insight as to how Charlie was looked after as a kid. Let me know what you think in the comments would you like me to do more of Charlie's childhood. And if you could vote that would be amazing! 


Thanks
