I down't own anything from Mcleod's daughters!

Unforgotten Letters

Laughing she climbed up the stairs to get into the attic.She heard her mother calling her name downstairs."Ruth ,be careful,don't do anything stupid,okay?" 13 years old Ruth McLeod rolled her eyes and yelled back: Yeah Mum,tell me when Uncle Alex arrives!"Ruth loved her uncle just as she loved her mum Tess McLeod and her Dad Nick Ryan.She was the first child of them and her parents were vvery proid of her especcialey when she has won a tournament with her own horse Giggi.

She grabbed a box in the corner and openend it.Inside she saw a few photos of her uncle and her dad as children.She also saw a picture of a young woman smiling right next to her Mum."Aunt Claire" she thought and smiled a sad smile.She never met her Aunt.Engrossed in thoughts she grabbed a few sheets which seemd to be as she was she unfolded one of them.

Dear Tess,

Do you remember the day we met the first time?I remember it only too well..I was absolutely jealous on Alex this day.He always had all the girls running after him.I was always the quiet boy,the opposite of my brother.I never thought that you would be interessted in me.When I realized that you liked me,too I was the happiest man on earth.Gee,this may sound very kitschy now,sorry.I don't know why I am writing this ltter now.Our unborn child might be a reason.I can't believe it.We will be parents in just 2 months.Can you imagine that,Tess?We two,a family...I want our children to be named after Claire and your Mum,because those two looked always after you and let nothing happen to just as I do now.You know that you I will always be at your side,always be there for you,if you are ill,drunken,dead,on another kontinent,blind...even if you are a wanted killer.I am lookong forward,Tess on our live at Drover's Run with a little Claire,a little Ruth and of course a little Ruth.They will have a wonderful live here.Alex will learn them how to write horses and you will show them how to put on make-up and how to laugh.those kids will be the happiest children on earth.just as I am the happiest man on earth.

Forever yours,

Nick
