NEW SIBLINGS

A Waterloo Road Story

CHAPTER 1

A ruby red Peugeot 207 parked outside the Kelly household. A tall man of medium build stepped out of the car. He had jet black hair and goatee. His name was Reginald Kelly. He stared at the house in font of him, and pulled out a small piece of white crinkled paper. This said '4 Cannon Street, Rochdale'.

"This is the place" he said mysteriously. A second figure emerged out of the red Peugeot. This time it was a girl. A girl with long, beautiful, golden, wavy hair. A girl by the age of eleven. Her name was Sophie Kelly.

"Let me go first" Reginald said to Sophie. "And stay outside till I cue you to come in". With that Reginald knocked on the door.

Inside the house Rose was feeding Prince his breakfast when there was a knock at the door.

"Sam, could you get the door please" Rose shouted up stairs. The knocking continued. Sam pounded down the stairs and opened the door. She was not please with what was in front of her.

"What do you want?" snarled Sam.

"I would like to speak to your mother please Sam" replied Reginald politely.

"Well I don't think she wants to speak to you" Sam argued back.

"Sambuca, I am your father and you will do as I say" Sam could hear his voice getting sturner and sturner.

"OK, but don't expect her to talk to you" sais Sam. "MUM! It's for you. Reginald gave the sign.

Reginald strolled into the Kelly's living room, and sat on the couch. Denzil was laid out on the opposite couch watching the Television, and them Sophie walked in. In the space of three seconds Denzil had moved his legs so he was sat in a upright position. Denzil stared deeply into Sophie's eyes. It was like he was in his own world. Never in his life had he seen such a beautiful girl.

Rose entered the room, took one look at who was sitting on the couch, then froze.

The room filled with silence and awkwardness. Denzil had a confused look forming across his face. Rose was still frozen. Denzil slowly aproched Rose and comforted her. Still holding Pince in her arms Rose ordered Denzil,
"Go up stairs please". Without giving a second of a thought Denzil sprinted out of the living room and up to his bedroom room.

Then Rose noticed Sophie.

"What are you doing here and who is that girl?" questioned Rose.

"The girl is YOUR daughter Sophie, remember and I'm here to ask you to take he into care because I just can't do it any more" replied Reginald. Before the debate continued Rose asked Sophie,

"Sophie, please can you take Prince up stairs to Sam's room". So Sophie took Pince out of Rose's ams and carfully walked up the stairs. Waiting until Sophie was out of sight, Rose shut the door.

"What the hell are you doing we had a deal!" shouted Rose.

"I know we had a deal but I can't look after Sophie for any longer because if you must know I have been on the run from the police since Sophie was seven" replied Reginald.

Sophie had just gone up to the top of the stairs when she saw three rooms the first on said 'Bathroom', the second one said 'Rose' and the third one said 'Earl'. That got Sophie very confused until she saw the stairs leading further up to the next floor. So up she went. On the next floor she could see another three rooms that had the name plates on just the same, ut this time the first one said 'Denzil' , the second one said 'Sambuca' and the third one said 'Marley'. Well this got Sophie extremely confused, so she decided that the best idea was to go back down stairs and ask if she meant Sambuca. Off Sophie went, still with Prince in her arms, and was just in time to hear the argument unfold downstairs.

"And why should I Take Sophie in after all you've done to me?" asked Rose, getting more and more in a rage.

"Because the police are outside you house right now waiting for me to come outside, this is my last chance to give Sophie a proper life like she deserves. I promised the police that I would find her a home, and if I don't they are going to take her in to foster care. I can't let them do that to our little girl." Reginald started tearing up. His voice got all deep and sensitive. It was a miricle he was thinking about someone other than him for a change.

"OK" Rose replied "but only because she's my little girl, and you must send money to her so I can pay for all the things she needs, just like you do for Sam" Rose demanded.

"Fine, deal, just let me say bye to my little girl first"
