First off let me say the following: my grammer and speeling is quite bad which is why i always failed at Engish at school.

I'm this chapter we read about a couple of days when Harry, Jac and Joseph have done things together as a family. I am writing this / starting this at about quarter past midnight which is probably a stupid idea but hey... all my ideas in life were kinda stupid. Now I'm going off topic.

So anyway. We'll go through maybe 2 or 3 days/evenings with Harry, Jac and Joseph and what they might all do together. Harry will find out that his mother is now pregnant and that he will be getting a little brother or sister in 8 to 9 months.

The paragraphs jn this chapter may be really long and others realky short so i oppologise in advance for that.

This chapter is also set in the summer holidays (August).

I hope you enjoy this chapter and have been enjoying the story so far. Please read and review. Thank you Xx

Chapter 4

Living Your Life

Monday

It was half-term and Harry ran happily around the garden with the sun blazing in his slightly wavy light brown hair. Harry was the splitting image of Jospeh and was loved by all around him from dawn to dust. Jac was sat in the living room watching, and you wait for it... reality television. Oh Yes. She had got into liking quite a few of them since Christmas last year. A little while later Joseph had called Harry into the living room as it was time for Jac to tell him he was going to be a big brother.

"Harry?"

"Yes dad!"

"Can you come into the living room please. Remember to take you muddy shoes off!"

"Ok dad."

Harry made his way to the back door and took his new, muddy shoes off and walked inside wearing his batman and robin socks. He made his way into the living room and saw his mum amd dad sat together on the sofa. They had told him to sit down with them and he listened. He sat down in the middle of both his mum and his dad.

"What is it?"

Harry had asked as he was handed a copy of an ultra sound Jac had had the week before. He was curious like his father but frankly quite like his mother, Jac, sometimes, which wasn't always a good combination together. Harry held the little piece of A6 paper in his hands as he stared at the black and white scan photo. His mother took the photo out of his hand and began to speak.

"How would you like to be a little brother?"

"I would love to. Always have."

"Well... I'm pregnant."

"Does that mean that your going to have a baby?"

"Yes it does." She said whilst chuckling slightly.

Harry stood up and embraced his mother in a loving and caring hug before letting her go and doing to same with his father. Joseph then walked out the room and got everybodies coats. He placed them on the arm of the chair both Harry and Jac were sat on and began to explain himself.

"I was wondering if we could all go to the park down the road together."

"It is really quiet because daddy said it was a n-at-u-re park. Isn't that right dad."

"Yes it is son." He said happily.

"Well then... I would love to go. Come on then." Jac replied.

Once they all got to the park Harry ran around in the fields while Jac and Joseph talked.

"Joe?"

"Yes darling."

They said while Jac was leaning on Joseph's shoulder blade.

"What?" Joseph said.

"Can we go rock climbing?"

"Your pregnant so don't even think about climbing."

"Please. I'll be careful. You know I will. Pleeeeeese!" Jac begged like a child.

"Finnnnnne." Joseph agreed reluctantly.

They had been at the park for over a couple hours now and Jac was beginning to become restless. Harry had noticed this, so he went over to his father and asked if they could all go home now. His father agreed and Harry looked at his mother and smiled at her. And Jac smiled a genuine smile back and hugged her son. They finally got home and they all went straight to bed regardless of the time.

Tuesday

Jac

Jac woke up at the crack of dawn and made her way carefully down the stairs so she didn't wake anybody up. Once she got down stairs she noticed a small figure sat on the living room sofa. She walked in the room to see Harry sat in the corner of the sofa. She was going to ask why he was there but couldn't be bother so instead she sat on the sofa next to him. Harry quickly turned around and hugged his mother. Suddenly they heard the creak of the living room door...

Harry

Harry woke up at around 5 am to hear birds calling in the distance. He had tried ans tried to get back to sleep but he could so at around hakf past he made his way down the stairs. He went quietly and carefully as he didn't want to wake his parents up. Once Harry got down stairs he sat on the large sofa by the living room door. He shifted himself from the middle to the corner and lay there until he saw his mum walk past.

She walked past him and sat on the sofa beside him without saying a word. It was now around dawn as the sun had began to rise and shine through the curtains. Harry turned around and gave his mother a tight and lovingly hug. Suddenly they both heard the creak of the living room door...

Joseph

Joseph woke up to see that Jac wasn't beside him. He made his way to his son's bedroom and saw that he wasn't there either. As he made his way down the stairs silently he saw the light coming through the kitchen door. He entered the room to find the early morning sun blazing softly through the patio windows.

Joseph quietly walked out the room and past the living room. He stopped suddenly when he heard the rustling of the cushions. Silently he opened the door up a little saw the beautiful sight. Both Jac and Harry were in each other arm and Harry had his head resting peacfully on Jac chest. Suddenly the door opened a bit more and the creak of it echoed through the large silent house...

Later that day...

Jac, Harry and Joseph were enjoying themselves a lot as they were rock climbing. Jac Jack was being sure she was careful as Joseph had told her that morning. Harry was climbing really high and you could the see the beautiful smile planted on his face. His dimples sat ferociously on his cheekbones, just like his mother's. Joseph wouldn't of found this fun but he really did. He was enjoying very every moment of it.

Jac had managed to take all of August off and put it down to an illness. She hadn't told Joseph this if of course but that didn't really matter. They were having fun together as a family and that we what did. They hadn't really done things together in years. Jac and Joseph had met up around 3 months before she came to Northumberland but hadn't spoken since. Harry was loving the fact he was going to be a big brother and would have both his mother and father, just like old times.

When they finally got home they all went straight to bed once mkre because they were very very tired. They had been climbing and running around all day. Not to mention the fact that both Harry, Jac and Joseph had been up since around 6 am that morning. This was common to Had but ut killed the life out of her. And Joseph hadn't been up at that time in years.

Wednesday

Jac

Jac had woken up as soon as the sun began to rise into the big dark sky. She had gone down the stairs and into the kitchen really quietly. She hadn't really woken up at this time in quite a few days but that didn't stop her. Jac wasn't sure what she was going to do now she was pregnant. Nobody she knew or anybody at the hospital knew she had a son let alone the fact she's pregnant now. She had an idea but would it granted...

Joseph

Joseph had woken up at around midday that day and he was still really tired from the rock climbing the day before. Yesterday had left in the wrong about what he thought about Jac sometimes. She really was a determined cow sometimes, but sometimes it was because she wanted to prove herself. And sha had. Joseph couldn't stop thinking about yesterday. He had his head in the clouds so when he walked down the stairs he almost fell down them...

Harry

Harry was always an earlier riser just like his mother always was. He would wake up early and could stay up willingly and without tying until around 11 or 12 o'clock at night/morning. Once Harry woke up it was about half six in the morning. So he went downstairs and instead of sitting on the sofa went into the kitchen. Harry had seen that the bright light from the Sun's raise was blazing throughout the large room. He sat down at the dining table whilst his mother turned around...

Later that day...

Today was quite a lazy day as Joseph hadn't got up until half twelve and nobody had really got up of the sofa yet. They had all been on the sofa for hours now. Joseph wanted them all to get out the house but he couldn't really be bothered to say anything so instead joined them.

All three of them, plus the baby inside Jac, lay silently and peacefully on the large cream sofa. Jac also wanted to go out somewhere but couldn't be bother to lift her back side of the coloured leather. Harry had had a little urge to go outside in the garden but after a while he didn't like the sound of it...
