This is a story about the Roscoe's. Sorry if loads of other people have done stories about a Roscoe sister but I liked the idea and hopefully you will enjoy this. I don't own any of the Hollyoaks characters and I haven't followed all of the Roscoe stories as they have been on the show.

"Bex! What are you doing here?" Joe hugged his sister. He couldn't hide his surprise upon opening the front door to find his sister standing there with a suitcase. "Come in." He carried the suitcase in for her and closed the door. "Boy's, mum! You'll never guess who's here!" He called out to the whole house.

It was 8:30 and most of the family was at the breakfast table. Ziggy came downstairs in his towel; he'd heard Joe shouting when he got out of the shower.

"Ah, Bex, good to see you girl.' He wrapped his arm around her as he reached the bottom of the stairs.

With two of her elder brothers on either side of her, Bex walked into the kitchen and smiled at the rest of her family who were sat around the breakfast table. Everyone got up to hug and kiss and welcome her.

"Hello love." Sandy squeezed her little girl the tightest; she loved all of her children equally but with the five sons she had, it was unsurprising that she shared a special relationship with her only daughter.

Everyone went back to the table to have breakfast together.

"So how long you here for Bex?" Joe asked.

"Yeah, I mean weren't you supposed to be starting Uni around now?" Freddie added.

"Yeah, you're supposed to be proving that Jase aint the only brains in the family like everyone's seems to think!" Robbie chimed in, only to be hit on the arm by his twin bother.

Bex smiled at her brothers, she'd missed them so much.

"Give her a break boys, she's only just arrived." Sandy warned the boys off from interrogating their sister.

"Fine, we've got to get off to work now anyway and these two" Joe placed a hand on each of the twin's shoulders, "want to be getting themselves to school. So how about we catch up properly tonight over dinner?"

"I'll cook my beef –"

"Nah mum, let's treat ourselves to a takeaway eh?" Freddie interrupted his mother before she could suggest another of her awful meals to cook for the family. The rest of the Roscoe's smiled at Freddie as a show of thanks for saving them from a terrible meal and Sandy simply rolled her eyes.

"All be here for six then please, and we'll welcome our girl home properly." Sandy said before everyone began to leave.

"Thanks so much for letting me stay here mum." Bex was helping Sandy wash up the dishes from breakfast.

"Don't you be silly, this is your home Rebecca. I'm so glad you called me when you needed me." Sandy placed her hand over her daughter's comfortingly.

"They can never know mum, the boy's can never know what happened."

"Alright, alright, don't worry – nobody is going to find out anything. This is your fresh start darling. I know thing's are not quite how you thought they'd be, but you'll be okay here, you'll see." They both attempted to smile, but they knew deep down that it would be difficult to forget what had happened.

"Pass us the prawn balls mum." Ziggy asked from the far end of the table.

"Don't you think you've had enough Zig the pig" Robbie teased making the other's laugh.

"This pig's got a better body than you could even dream of, so pipe down Robo." Ziggy joked back.

"So come on then Bex, fill us in, what's been going on?" Freddie enquired.

Bex glanced at her mum before she spoke.

"Well, I'm here to stay – if you'll have me that is?"

"Of course we will, that's brilliant news!" Ziggy's comment was matched with nods and smiles from Freddie, Robbie and Jason.

"But what about Uni Bex?" Joe looked concerned. He loved the idea of having his sister around for good, but he couldn't understand what had changed – she had been set on going to university; it was the reason she hadn't moved to Hollyoaks with them all in the first place.

"I just decided it wasn't for me Joe. I'm going to look for a job here where I can be with my family.' She hoped that would satisfy him.

"Come on you lot, this food's getting cold." Sandy encouraged the family to eat up and Bex was grateful for the distraction.

"How about we make this a proper welcome home and have a few drinks at The Dog?" Ziggy suggested as Sandy began to clear the empty plates from the table.

"Yeah, we've got to introduce you to everyone in the village sis!" Joe agreed.

"Sounds good to me." Bex replied, getting up from the table.

"Uh, where do you two think you're going?" Sandy stopped Robbie and Jason in their tracks.

"Oh come on mum, we can't stay here while they all go out celebrating." Robbie complained.

"Oh yes you can, it's a school night and you've been in enough trouble at that school already, so get yourselves upstairs – go on!"

The twins did as they were told as their older siblings got their jackets and prepared to leave.

"You coming mum?" Bex called from the front door.

Sandy popped her head round the living room doorway to respond; "You go on and I'll come and join you in a bit."

"Same again everyone?" Joe asked.

Freddie, Ziggy and Bex responded with nods and yesses as Joe went to the bar to get another round in. The Dog was pretty quite, it was only a Tuesday night, but Bex had met Darren, Nancy, Jack and Frankie.

"Ziggy!" The sibling's quiet chat was interrupted by Ruby yelling Ziggy's name.

"Who the hell is this?" She asked, glaring at Bex. "How can you just sit there with another girl when you know I live upstairs! Do you want me to be jealous? Is that it?"

"Ruby, Ruby!" Ziggy attempted to stop her from carrying on.

"I don't want to hear you're excuses Ziggy –"

"She's my sister!" Ziggy shouted a little louder than he's intended to, but his words successfully shut Ruby up. "This is Bex, my little sister."

"Hi." Bex smiled at the girl who was clearly very embarrassed.

"Oh.' Was all Ruby could manage to say.

"Come here you idiot." Ziggy wrapped his arms around Ruby and kissed her.

"Causing trouble already eh Bex?" Joe teased as he brought the drinks back to the table, "Can I get you a drink Rubes?" He asked as she sat down next to Ziggy.

"Nah I think we're good thanks mate, we're going to head off actually – sorry about the drink."

"Isn't she a bit young for him?" Bex laughed as the two lovers practically run off together.

"Tell me about it!" Freddie laughed too.

As Bex listened to her brothers tell her about what they had been up to she noticed a man come into the pub. She froze, for a split second she thought it was him, she thought that he'd found her. The fear took over and she felt like she couldn't breathe – no, she couldn't, she wasn't breathing – she began to panic.
