"Jackie, we need to tell Miss Peregrine. She can help her." Jake explained.

"No, not me baby. She'll be fine. I wish I'd never asked for yer 'elp!" She said cuddling Saoirse and closing her eyes tight.

"Please Jackie. She needs help. This is unusual as most peculiar children are born with their peculiarity but this is different. Miss Peregrine needs to see her." Emma said putting an arm around Jackie.

"Fine. But ye need to promise me something."

Jake and Emma looked at each other, concerned at what she would ask.

"Promise me ye ain't goin' take her away?" Jackie stared at her with wide, scared eyes.

Emma's eyes were glassy with tears as she choked a small, "I can't."

They left the wagon and heard Jackie crying bitterly.

"Emma! Why can't she stay with her parents! It's not right! How could Miss Peregrine take her away from her family!" Jake said angrily.

"Jake, Saoirse, she's late! Parents with peculiar children have hard pregnancies, and the baby also has a hard time! It's the growing their peculiarity! The rarer they are, the harder it is for them to grow. But Saoirse's going through it now." She looked over her shoulder sadly at the wagon door. "She needs help developing her peculiarity and only peculiars can do help her. She'll need training sessions if she ever wants her strength back. Then she can return here."

"How long will she be away for?"

"A few years. That's if she's a quick learner. It might never really leave her, the weakness. And not only that, but it is illegal in Ymbryne law for a peculiar child, once found, to not be taken under a Ymbrynes wing. That's why Abe wanted you to have a normal childhood. He knew other peculiar children would be children for years and he didn't want that for you. So he hid you! He knew they would take you away! That's why he lost communication with peculiars when you were born! He didn't want anyone to find you. He did the right thing, but we need to do the right thing for Saoirse. She could die if the weakness takes over her! I'm surprised it hasn't already." Emma finished crossing her arms and looking down sadly.

"Alright." Jake pulled her into his chest and hugged her tight. He had just found out the real reason his grandfather left this life behind, and was shocked. "We'll go find Miss Peregrine."

A few hours later Miss Peregrine entered the wagon with Horace to see if his dreams could tell them anything, then when Horace left Miss Peregrine stayed in there all night asking questions to the little girl and examining her.

Jackie stayed far off in the distance staring and worriedly biting her lip. Michael had one hand on her should and the other holding Tommy's hand. The rest of the residence's of the gypsy's where all gathered looking at the wagon door with fearful eyes.

"We're so sorry Jackie. But whatever Miss Peregrine says you have to accept. She's doing what's best for her, and if she- if she does have to leave for a while, I promise she'll make her way back to you." Emma had stood by Jackie.

Miss Peregrine left the wagon with a serious expression, but sympathetic eyes. She walked past everyone to Saoirse's family.

"I'm extremely sorry Mrs Oaks-"

"No! No!" Jackie said turning and wailing into her husband's arms. He rested his teary face on her head and Tommy too tried to comfort his mother.

"By the Law of Ymbrynes I hate to inform you but Saoirse Oaks is now under the guardian ship of Alma Peregrine."

"Ye can't do this!" Michael shouted everyone nearby started crying, and even the peculiar children had tears for the grieving family. Miss Peregrine spoke over everything, her eyes filling with beads of water.

She pulled out a piece of parchment and handed it to them.

"You must sign it Mrs Oaks." She handed her a feather quill (Peregrine feather).

"No! I'm not signing my child away with ye!" Michael shouted but Jackie silenced him by taking the quill. With a trembling hand she started to sign it.

"YE CAN'T SIGN IT JACKIE!"

"Michael. It's the bes' thing for Saoirse. Please, don't be making this any 'arder then it is. She'll-" Jackie started sobbing again. " She'll die if she stay's here. They can help her."

Michael nodded and signed. e helped Jackie sign with an unsteady hand and then they both sank to the floor. Everyone tried to comfort the family and Miss Peregrine rolled up the page.

Then a soft voice came from behind them all.

At the bottom of the wagon steps was Saoirse, holding herself up with a little wooden stick, and she hobbled towards her parents.

"Mama, please don't cry. I'll make you fell better, look what I learnt." She smiled weakly at her other and everyone was silent. All of a sudden Saoirse bent down and picked up some blades of grass. She closed her eyes and squeezed them tightly in her small hands. Frost started to crawl through the gaps in her hands and cover her fingertips. When she opened her hand's the blades of grass were covered in ice. Olive then went over to her and cupped her hands and blew warm air onto the children's cold fingers.

Everyone gasped and Miss Peregrine smiled with pride.
