Chapter 33

They had a very noisy journey back to the house, the twins were asking Mia all sorts of questions and they were asking Sariah if they could do all sorts of things with Mia.

Sariah pulled up outside the house and the four of the got out of the car.

Madison grabbed Sariah's hand, whilst looking up at the house.

'Did you used to live here mommy?' she asked

'Yes I did, Auntie Mia and Uncle Dominic live here now.'

Mitchell tugged on Mia's shirt.

'Do you have any kids?'

'No I don't at the moment but Uncle Dominic does, you have two cousins.' She smiled down at him

'Really?' he said with a cheeky smile.

'Yeah, want to come in and meet them?' she picked him up and looked over at Sariah.

'Take him in; I think Maddy is a little bit scared.' Sariah looked down at her.

Mia went running inside with Mitchell.

'What's wrong sweetie?' Sariah stroked Madison's hair.

Maddy just sighed.

'Don't you want to come inside and meet everyone?'

'I liked it when it was just me you and Mitchell.'

'I know baby but how do you know you won't like it better with more people around. You'll have lots of people to buy you treats and to take you places.' Sariah whispered to her.

Meanwhile inside Mia had taken Mitchell in.

She walked in the door and saw everyone sat round in the living room. Dom stood up as she entered the front room.

Mia smiled at him.

'You must be Mitchell.' Dom's deep voice boomed

Mitchell looked on absolutely terrified.

'Dom you're scaring him.' Maria swatted him on the head and Mitchell giggled.

Mitchell peered over Maria's shoulder at the TV where Vince, Leon and Brian were playing on the playstation.

'My mom won't let me have that game; she said there's too much fighting in it.'

'Maybe you can play it with them later? If your mom say's its ok.' Maria smiled at him.

'Would you like me to tell you who everyone else is?' Mia whispered to him

He nodded his head.

'Where's Sariah?' Dom asked

'She's outside; I think Madison got a little bit scared.'

They all looked out of the window.

'This big scary man here is Dominic, but we just call him dom. he's mine and mommy's oldest brother.' Mitchell nodded and stared at Dom.

'Then that man there.' pointing to conner 'is conner he is mine and mommy's other brother.'

Mitchell giggled at conner.

'I told my mom you looked funny.'

'I know she told Me.' conner grinned at him.

'That lady there with the really big belly.' pointing at Maria

'Is she having a baby?' Mitchell asked

'Yes she is. Her name is Maria, and conner is the daddy.' Mia nodded over at Conner.

'Is it a boy?'

'We don't know yet sweetie. Not long till we find out though.'

'Right lets introduce you to everyone else.' she carried him over to the sofa where Brian, Vince and Leon were sat and Jake and Curtis were playing on the floor. She put him down and bent down to his level.

'These are your two cousins, that's Jake he's three and that's Curtis he's

nearly two.'

Just then Sariah and Madison came in; Madison had her head buried in sariah's neck.

'Hi guys, someone got a little bit scared a meeting lots of new people, can we use the bathroom?'

'Yeah sure you know where it is right?' Dom smiled.

Sariah took Madison up stairs; Madison had a few tears running down her cheek.

'Hey baby is you going to tell me what this is all about? At the house it will just be me you and Mitchell, were not going to be moving again.'

Madison shrugged her shoulders.

Sariah sighed and stood up.

There was a knock on the door it was Dom. Sariah opened the door slightly.

'Everything ok?'

'Oh I don't know Dom, Madison is scared about something and I don't know what.'

'Want me to try and talk to her?

Just then Madison appeared behind Sariah and stared at Dom.

'Hi there beautiful.'

Madison blushed.

'You don't look like you do in your picture.'

He bent down to her level and she took a step back.

'You look exactly like you do in yours. Do you know what I first thought? When I saw you?'

She shook her head.

'I thought I bet she is such a good girl and isn't scared of anything.'

'I Am.' she whispered to him.

'What's that?' Sariah was stood in the door

She leant towards him and whispered in his ear.

'All of these people.'

He smiled and looked up at Sariah. She smirked at him and bent down to the same level.

'You don't have to be scared of anyone sweetie. All of these people want to be your friend.'

'Ok, I'll come down.' she scuffed her feet and looked at the floor.

'Why don't I carry you down, nobody will scare you when you're with me.'

Dom held out his arms.

She nodded silently and walked to his out stretched arms.

Sariah smiled as he swung her up round his waist and she let out a little giggle.
