A/N: Sorry about this, I feel like I have become a better write since I started this storyline and I've had problems with moving and being busy so I have had no time. But now I shall re-write all stories and write more stories.

The Other Talbot

Chapter 1:

Happily Ever After Until...

I had been told it was cold that morning in July even though it was part of the warmer months. But then again it was always cold in England. A cold wind swept through the sleeping city, creeping underneath doors and inside windows like a silent intruder with one thing in mind, to make others cold. Its cold fingers brushes over cheeks of young children causing them to frown deeply in there peaceful sleeps, causing them to pull the covers up underneath there cold little noses. But not everyone in London was sleeping away the coldness for there were some who didn't even notice the cold of the night. The screams of the woman echoed down the white empty halls of the hospital as she for the second time in her life welcomed life into this world.

The family had already had one child, a daughter six years ago and now they were welcoming another daughter. The proud father sat beside the bed after everything was done, his lips gently kissed his wife head, cheeks and lips as he whispered words of love to her. His new baby girl resting peacefully in his tired wife's arms, her little hands reaching up to a life that was not going to be kind to her. There was a small squeaking sound of the cleaned tiled floor coming from behind the happy couple. The father looked over at the door to find his eldest daughter standing there, staring into the room, her chest nut brown eyes looked on with a blank expression. She was not all that comfortable with the idea of another child being around, sharing in the love, sharing in her toys, sharing in her family and her life. After all it was all hers and no one had asked her if she wanted to share these things with another. The father held out his hand to his daughter beckoning her over to the bedside so she could meet her new baby sister. At first she just stood there staring at the open hand held out to her. She didn't want to meet her new sister, if she looked upon the girl it would mean it was real and things would change. She didn't want them to change she liked how things were. But she did not want to make her parents mad; it was the last thing she ever wanted. So she walked over to the bed, her feet dragging along the ground as she shuffled to the bedside. Once by her father's side he wrapped his arm around her waist and picked her up off her feet so that she could see the baby. She didn't want to look down, her light brown eyes looked anywhere but down into her mother's arms. But she felt if she just got it over and done with, if she just looked down and smiled she would never have to do it again. That was all she had to do and then it would all be over. So reluctantly her eyes looked down, her mother's hand moved aside the soft pink blanket just in time to see the new baby girl yawn, her little month opening up as wide as it possibly could. She couldn't help it, a smile lit across her face as she looked down at the baby girl, her new sister. She couldn't understand it but all the anger seemed to wash away at the little action. It didn't seem so bad now to have a baby sister, to be the older, protective one. Softly her hand reached out, her finger gently stroked across the smooth skin of her hand. Her parents exchanged a knowing look as they watched their daughters interacting for the first time. Her father then kissed his eldest daughter on her head and whispered to her that her mother had to get some sleep and so did her new born sister. He would take her home and they would come back tomorrow to pick up the rest of their family. But she didn't want to go, not now she had her little sister, she had to stay with her and protect her. What if someone tried to hurt her while she was gone, she couldn't have that. But after a few minutes she realized her father was right and they needed to go home to let their mother and sister rest. She bent down and ever so gently pressed her lips to her baby sister's soft head in a feather light kiss and said good bye.

"It's that a lovely story, a family so in love they just want to continue to have more to join their happiness. It just seems that a group of people so caring could only end up being a happy loving family with no big problems. There is nothing they can't face as long as there together. It's like the end of a fairy tale where everything works out just perfectly. But then again this is real life and when things seem prefect that they just couldn't get better it only means on thing. They will be coming down and coming down hard. If the story ended here it would have a happily ever after but it doesn't it's a happily ever after until. This is just the beginning of this twisted story. You may want to know who I am, who am I to say that this family won't have a happily ever after. Well my name is Lizzie Talbot and I am the baby daughter from the story and this is my happily ever after until."
