Chapter 4.
It was quarter past three when the O'Connell family finally came home. First to come in though the big front door was Alex O'Connell. He was a lad of about 14 years old, he had sandy-blond hair and almond-shaped blue eyes. He inherited his hair and love of adventure from his father and his eyes and love of Eygpt and it's history from his mother. He threw down his school bag and run around the downstairs floor, yelling and looking for his Uncle John. Next though the door was Rick O'Connell, adventurer, ex-legionnaire and a married family man. Rick had sandy-blond hair and deep brown eyes and was well bulit. He was yelling at Alex to calm down, Finally, Evy O'Connell came though the door closing it behind her. She had dark brown hair and almond-shaped blue eyes. She was telling her husband to leave Alex to find her brother.
"I can't find Uncle John downstairs and he isn't answering my yells". Alex told his parents with a hint of worry in his voice.
"Don't worry. He might be outside at the stables, gone for a ride. We'll go and have a look. What are you going to do, Honey, while we have a look?" Rick asked Evy before putting his coat on again.
"The museum was quite hot today. I'll go upstairs and change".
When she went upstairs, she passed the first guest bedroom in her brother's west wing. She stopped to hear a man and a woman talking and laughing. Evy recognised the male voice anywhere. Jonathan. But the female voice she could not recognise, but she swore she heard it before. Opening the door quietly, she saw Jonathan sitting on a chair next to the bed talking to a young woman who was lying in the bed. When they stopped talking, the girl turned her head to where Evy was, then Jonathan did. Seeing his baby sister standing there, he shot of his chair and started an explaination.
"Evy, Old mum, you're home a bit late". He started, stuttering a bit.
"Alex was late coming out of school, who's your friend?" She replied, looking at the woman in the bed.
"I think you need to sit down for what I need to tell you". When she did sit down in the chair, he carried on. "Do you remember Samantha, my daughter who I lost contact with over 12 years ago?" Evy nodded in understandment. "Well, this is her. Meet your niece". He ended, showing Evy the girl on the bed.
Evy was at a loss for words, but soon got out of her shock to give Samantha a hug. Then they heard a coughing noise near the door, turned their heads round and saw father and son at the door, watching the loving moment. "Who's this, Evy?"
"Oh, sorry Rick. This is Jonathan's daughter, Samantha, your niece".
"JONATHAN'S what?" He yelled, while Alex just said "Cool, a new couison".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, let me get this right, she's Jonathan's offspring and she wants to live with us?" Rick shouted at Evy. She, Rick and Jonathan were in the kitchen having a talk about Samantha, while Sam was sitting in the living room with Alex swapping life stories. "Are you sure we can trust her, I mean we've never even met her before, except Jonathan".
"I've met her many times when she was a young child, before Jonathan got kicked out of the house and the mother stopped contact between them and before I met you. She spent many christmas and brithdays with us more than with her mom. I even brought Sam her first dagger when she was eight. So I trust her very much, thank you" Evy yelled back at him. Jonathan was sitting on one of the kitchen chairs watching the talk between husband and wife until Rick asked him "Why did you two never tell me and Alex about her? What was the reason you got kicked out the house for and no contact with your daughter?"
"Well, to be truthful, it was an act of Jealousy from the mother because I spent more time and loved Samantha more than Sheba, her mother. I used to come home drunk nearly every night because I liked my drink back then as well. But, I never got too drunk that I would start hitting them". He paused with a honest look on his face. "But, it was Samantha that never minded me when I was drunk, as long as I tucked her into her bed and read her a story I knew from my childhood. Sheba would want to talk to me, but I would just lie on the bed and go straight to sleep. When the morning came, Sam was the one to help nurse my hangovers. In return, I would teach her Poker games and how to pick pockets, as a joke, of course. But Sheba didn't really like the time me and Sam spent together, until she had enough and told me to leave. She threatened that if I didn't leave by the next day, she would call the police on me about drunken abuse I gave them. I didn't want to leave, but I didn't want to go to jail for something I've never done either. I didn't want to disapoint Samantha by letting her see me go to jail. I understood why she wanted the most attention from our daughter, because she had another child before she met me, but he was taken away from her at birth by his father. She wanted the most attention because she was afraid that I was going to take our daughter away from her, but I wasn't". He explained with a hint of sadness in his voice.
Rick yelled "But why didn't you do anything about it?"
Jonathan yelled back "Do you think I didn't try to do anything about it? I tried everything to get Sheba let me see my daughter again. But nothing worked. I even sent letters to Samantha, but her mother must have never told her about them. I never heard from her for 12 years Rick, I nearly gave up hope on ever seeing her again. I thought that as she grew up, she either forgot about me or she might of died. So her turning up out of the blue is a bit of a surprize and a shock to me too, thank you very much" He finished, breathing heavily from all the breath he used to yell at Rick.
In Jonathan's eyes during that last explaination, was hurt, anger and sadness. In Evy's eyes was tears and in Rick's eyes were gulit and sorrys.
"Jon, listen, I'm so sorry. I never knew, if I did know I wouldn't have said anything. Please forgive me".
"Alright Rick, I forgive. Only on one condition, if you allow Samantha to live with us. You love her, she funny, smart and a good poker partner, if I do say so myself. She can stay in the spare guestroom you found us in in my west wing and she won't be any trouble. Please, she dosen't have anywhere left to go" Jonathan even put on a pupy-dog eyes/pout saying this.
"Alright, alright she can stay" 'Man I hate that look, Evy always uses it to get her way and it always works on me' "I'll call in Sam and Alex to tell them the good news. SAMANTHA. ALEX".
The two came in from the living room door, Alex with a look of wonder on his face and Samantha, with alook of happiness on hers.
"Mom, dad. Samantha's been telling me about living with Ardeth and the other Med-jai and she said she would teach me some self-defence moves. But only with your permission". Rick was just about to tell them the news when Jonathan stated-"So you did grow up with some family, your brother Ardeth". "Yes, a little bit after mom died, I was attacked and saved by Ardeth and have lived with him for the past 12 years".
Rick said shocked "Ardeth Bay's your brother?" "Well my step-brother. Same mom, different dads. Long story".
"Ardeth was great. He taught me anichant Egyptian, Arabic and he taught me how to dechpier hieroglyphs easily. He also taught me self-defence and all the Med-jai ways. In return for staying with him, he promised to bring me to my family in England. And he did".
"Well, it's great to know you grew up safe". "Oh that reminds me dad, thank you for showing me how to play cards and picking pockets. In came in handy when I was living on my own for a while after mom died. It saved my life".
Jonathan looked sheepish as Evy gave him a 'just for a joke' look, which he retailiated with a 'how was I suppossed to know' look.
"Well, witht that happy note, we have some good news to tell you. You're living with us now in the west wing with Jonathan for good".
Sam just stood there with a shocked look onher face, letting what Rick said sink in, then she broke into the most biggest smile of her life. She ran to her father first and hugged him, she then hugged Evy, then Rick and finally Alex.
"Thank you all so much. This going to be great living here" She gave Jonathan another hug, unaware of the dangers that were to come...

Well, what do you think of this chapter? I put a star like this in this chapter. That means i'm thinking of doing a small fan fiction of how Jonathan and Sheba met, had Samantha and Samantha growing up till the age of ten. Jonathan is such a loving caracter, so I had to make him a loving dad in this story. John Hannah is a great actor in the Mummy and the Mummy Returns, as well as Sliding doors and Four weddings and a funeral. Nest chapter to come up soon. From chugirl2526.
