Chapter one
It was 2nd February 1987 the day Gail went into early labour a baby girl was born the midwife asked
"Have you a name for her"
"Sarah, sarah Louise" Gail replied with a smile on her face
But as Sarah was premature it was too ch and go for the 1st few days as she was placed in an incubator, Gail went through everything alone at the start as Sarah's dad Brian wasn't convinced he was Sarah's father after Gail had an affair with his cousin Ian. A test was done and Brian was proved her father Sarah has an older brother Nicky Tilsley who was such a loving big brother.
On the night of 15th February 1989 just days after Sarah's 2nd birthday Brian went out but never returned home he was stuck by a gang of men who beat and stabbed him causing his death, Sarah and brother Nicky were left fatherless and Gail was deeply beside herself.
Not long after Gail met a man 10years her junior named Martin Platt at the café where she worked on rosamund street, it didn't take Gail and Martin very long to admit they loved each other and he loved Sarah and Nicky as if they were his own children. As Sarah got older Martin was the only man she knew as a dad although she never called him dad and Nicky wasn't really happy that his mum had a new boyfriend but when showed him love he soon came round to the idea.
Brian's mother ivy never liked Martin and tried to keep him away from Gail and attempted to turn Nicky to the Catholic Church but as Sarah Louise was too young to understand she was left alone. Gail and Martin stayed strong to each other and didn't let anything ivy say ruin it.
