Here we go again

"Right-o"she laughed shutting the door after her


"Mention what?"


"That was when the loud wail came and a small blonde body hurled herself at the window "where are they going? they cant go home without us!"Maddie cried,she always had this fear of being left behind

 

"I just said I'm not allowed to say!" Jamei snapped at him, sounding incredibly like her mother but in minature.

Elle quickly picked up the little girl. "Don't worry about it Maddie. They're not going home or anything, your baby brother or sister decided it was time to come."

 

he backed up slightly,just as he would from Elle."Ok ok...."he muttered


Her eyes widened "Really?"she gasped "Yay!....its gonna be a girl you know...one I can play dolls with and dress up and do her hair..."she ranted on

 

"If you want to know you should as Mummy, or Alex." She said, nodding matter of factly. Completely unaware she'd just given away a rather large part of the secret.

"Well you'll have to give it a little while." She giggled, patting the girl's head. "You can't really play with babies."

 

"Really? what do they do then?"she asked looking confused"dont they like playing?"


"Alex? why him?"he said going into the living room

 

"They're a little too small to play." Elle tried to explain, unsure of how to explain it to a child.

"I can't say! Ask my Mummy or him."

 

"Oh."she said nodding as if understanding "It might get hurt?"


"I will..?"He said sounding if his statement was a question

 

"Exactly." She nodded. "They're very small and delicate."

"If you want to know you will."

 

"How long untill I can play with the baby?"


"Ok then I will...who am I more likely to get answers from?"

 

"A few months I think."

She shrugged. "I don't know."

 

"Awww...."she said dissapointedly


"I'll ask your mum...she normaly tells me stuff."

 

"It'll be worth it when you can though, right?" She smiled.

"Okay." Jamei nodded.

 

"Yeah!"


"Elle..."Jordan said"Can I ask you something?"

 

"Huh? Oh sure thing Jor." She said, setting the little girl down on the floor. "How about you go play with Jamei for now? Okay?"

 

"I was talking to Jamei....she said something about us being family...that shes practically my niece....but i said she was Lyra's neice not mine then she said something and then said she wasnt supposed to say...what wasnt she meant to say?"

 

Elle's eyes widened slightly and flickered towards her daughter. "It's nothing important. Just Jamei being strange."

 

"Didnt sound like nothing..."

 

"It's not exactly something you'd want to know."

 

"Try me."he said sitting on the arm of the sofa"Obviously it concerns my cousin and your like another sister....whats going on?"

 

"I'll only tell you if you promise you won't get mad, under any circumstances." She said, carefully sitting down on the same sofa as Jordan.
