So, I have this love of twins in books. Like Fred and George in Harry Potter and the Bagshaw brother's in Heist Society. And it's the Bagshaw's are my 2nd favourite characters in Heist Society but Hale is my favourite. By far.
Enjoy! XX
Chapter one
Kat's POV
Hale and I sat at Uncle Eddie's kitchen table with Gabrielle, Simon, Hamish and Angus.
My father stood talking with Uncle Charlie while Uncle Eddie ignored Uncle Felix while he cooked soup. Just the Gabrielle's mom walked in
"Mom!" Gabrielle said standing to hug her
"Hi Sweetie, sorry I'm late Eddie, there was a small storm so the plane didn't leave when it was meant to" She said rolling her eyes, and Hale frowned
"I'd of sent a privet jet for you Dianna. If Gabrielle had told me" He said frowning slightly at my cousin who shrugged. Dianna smiled at him
"You must be Hale. And that's very kind of you, but it was fine" Auntie Dianna said, she looked to her daughter "he's a cutie" she smiled and Gabrielle blushed slightly
"He's taken" Gabrielle said, glancing at me. Dianna saw the exchange and turned and saw me for the first time
"Kat sweetheart! I didn't see you there!" Auntie Dianna gushed, I smiled at her politely
"Hi Auntie Dianna" I said, my father saw my discomfort and said
"Dianna! So good to see you!" As he went to hug her, his hand caught a lid on the stove and it fell to the tile floor
Later on, I wondered if Angus hadn't caught the lid what would have happened.
But in the spilt second the lid was falling I heard two booted feet enter through the living room window. I spun out my seat and stood all in the same motion facing the door that lead to the never used living room.
"Kitty?" Hale asked, I put a finger to my lips and touched the door knob and turned it in one swift movement. The door banged open and stood in the middle of the room was a girl. She froze and watched me with large dark blue eyes, her black trench coat was covered in snow and the boots that'd given her away where a pair of red docMartins.
I didn't know what to do.
"Hi" I said and then Hale was at my side, she opened her mouth to say something, but then her eyes saw past us and she smiled
"Angus! Hamish!" She said her accent was definitely British, southern maybe?
The twins pushed past us and Angus (who had dropped the lid he'd caught) and Hamish lunged for the girl.
She was younger than the rest of us, but I could tell without being that close to her, that she was taller than me.
Hale looked at me quizzically,
"Guys?" He said and they looked round at him, both with an arm round the girls shoulders
"Erm Kitty, Eddie this is our cousin, Alex" Hamish said
"Cousin?" Gabrielle asked stepping forward, hands on hips, Alex blushed and nodded
"I'm sorry for breaking in, but I didn't know if these two" she raised her shoulders to indicate the Bagshaw's "where here. I'll pay for anything that's broken" She promised biting her lip, I turned and looked at Uncle Eddie who was stood watching, one bushy eyebrow raised
"She's not really one to use door bells anyway" Angus said, grinning at his cousin who elbowed him it the stomace
"She's your cousin?" Uncle Eddie asked, the boys nodded "how come we've never meet her before?" He asked, the boys looked at each other
"She's um, too um, young?" Hamish's voice went an octave higher with that last word as he looked at his cousin who had an eyebrow raised and her lips pursed, she reminded me of Gabrielle when she was irritated.
"How old are you?" Uncle Eddie asked, Alex looked at him and her annoyed expression went
"Thirteen" She replied
"You are young to be doing this" Uncle Eddie said and then the expression was back. Alex pursed her lips and crossed her arms
"That's what makes me better at doing this. No suspects the little girl" She said a hard edge to her voice. We all held our breaths, no one had ever and I mean ever spoken to Uncle Eddie that way. But he just carried on looking at her and then did something so rare, so unusual that it shocked everyone.
Uncle Eddie laughed
"Welcome to the family" He said and held out a bowl of soup for her. Alex seemed oblivious to our shocked expressions as she stepped forward and took the soup
"Thank you" She smiled and turned back to her cousins "aren't you going to introduce me?" she asked, smiling still. Hamish stepped forward and slung his arm back round her shoulders
"Sure thing Cuz. This is Eddie's twin brother Charlie. Felix. And this is Kat's dad Robert and that's Gabrielle's mum, Dianna" Hamish said pointing at each in turn. The men tipped their imaginary hats at her and Dianna smiled
"Then this is our crew. That Kitty or Kat or Kitty Kat" Angus said grinning at me, and I grinned back, one thought going through my head we have another girl I thought
"Hi" I said
"Then this is Kitty's cousin Gabrielle" Angus said, winking at Gabrielle who pursued her lips at him, Alex laughed
"Ouch" my muttered to him and he glowered at him, Gabrielle looked at me and we both smiled
"I like her already" I whispered to her
"Same" she replied
"That's Kat's boyfriend W.W Hale the fifth" Hamish said, taking over from his now grumpy brother. He mock bowed at Hale who rolled his eyes
"Your related?" He asked, and Alex nodded sadly
"I often wonder" She answer and Hale laughed at the both miffed Bagshaw's
"You've forgotten me" Simon said, and Alex turned to look, she smiled at him but there was something that even I noticed about the smile that wasn't how she'd smiled to the rest of us
"Oh. Sorry. That's Simon" Hamish said "our main computer geek" Simon blushed but Alex carried on smiling
"Hi" He said
"Hey" She echoed. I looked at Gabrielle who was biting her bottom lip trying not to laugh
"We'll show you where you'll be staying" Gabrielle said and grabbed her hand and mine and pulled us out the room. "It's good to have another girl. We were starting to get outnumbered" Gabby said and we laughed as we walked up the stairs.
