Disclaimer: I do not own Skins; if I did then Series 5 & 6 would be Generation 1 & 2 mixed together...A girl can dream!

A bunch of small one-shots based on the life and relationship of Tony & Effy, the Stonem siblings. They start during Anthea Stonem's pregnancy with Effy, following them as they grow up, becoming the pair that we all love today.

Part One - Tony (Age 2) Effy (Unborn/2 days old)

"Before she hit the world, she was this flame, heating every bit of me. So intense, it burned. I think I knew even then that she was going to be remarkable"

Tony.

Most people can't remember much from the early years of their lives, but Tony was different, even at two years old he knew he would forever remember this moment. The reason he knew he would remember, well it wasn't because he was special, no it was because she was extraordinary. Placing his small hand upon the hard, stretch-marked belly that belonged to him mother, he felt her bursting forth. "Your getting a little sister Anthony", they had told him, but he hadn't really been listening because he was captivated. He had felt her, no he couldn't feel her move or kick, but he had felt her in a different sense. She warmed his hand; she caused a tingling sensation to run up his arm and through his body, it was so intense. She had captured him right from that moment and he knew he would never be able to break free from her bond; she was now his, but most of all he was now hers.

Tony was too young to understand, he was too young to know what any off it meant, and he would never understand until it was too late; he would forever be under her charm. Another thing he didn't understand was time, he didn't even know how long a day really was, so he didn't understand how long it meant when they said, "You'll get to meet her in a couple of months". He waited patiently, to meet her, to really meet her. Each day he placed his hand on his mother's belly, each day she radiated out to him, burned his palm. He wanted to know her, feel the intensity that she radiated, for real. Soon everyone, family and strangers, began to tell him he was going to be a big brother. He didn't know what a big brother really meant, he didn't understand what they did, but he was going to be one. That excited him, more then any new toy ever would, because something told him that it was something really important.

"And then - Oh, when I held her for the first time, it was like holding this beautiful...bomb. The energy was just, you know - even then it scared me"

Soon he knew, he understood, it became so clear to him. It hit him, the moment she was brought home from the hospital, when they placed her in his arms. Sitting on the sofa, a cushion under his arm to support her, he was handed his baby sister. His eyes ran over the bundle, her eyes fluttered opened, big blue orbs connected with his. She had this glow; it glistened around her, almost radiating from her pale skin. He stared down at her, not able to look away; the blue orbs stared right through him. He placed a hand on her small fragile arm, as their skin connected he felt the spark; he felt the burn for real. She captivated him, he held on to her tightly, he didn't want to let go. When they peeled her away from him she made a noise, a horrible high pitched cry, which she didn't stop until they placed her back in his arms again. Tony felt something that not everyone in life gets a chance to feel; although many claim too, not many have truly felt real love. However at only two years old, he did, Tony had been given the chance to feel the true meaning of love. From that day on, he loved his younger sister in a way no other could, he had loved her before he even knew her name.

Okay, so I know that was really short, I apologize.

The thing is that I didn't want to go too overboard on that chapter, because Tony was only two.

To be honest, my own earliest memory is from 4 days before my 5th Birthday, which I believe I only remember anyway because it was a big event that occurred in my life.

I don't know if that's normal, I don't know if people remember things from an early age, but I thought heck, the Stonem's are special so yeah!

All my other chapters from this point on will be longer, I promise you =]

I accept anonymous reviews, so yeah sorry for rambling on, but if you feel like leaving a review it will really be appreciated! xXx
