Chapter 6

The rest of the tour passed by uneventfully and they were boarding the plane after 24 hours decompression in Cyprus, Molly and the lads were so pleased to be going home and to see their loved ones, after they had landed they all made their way to arrivals and we're greet by their loved one, with tight hugs, and then to return back to barracks before leave and medal presentations and then they would receive a months post tour leave.

Molly's application to live off base had been approved whilst she was on tour, so she had the green light to start looking, after the medal presentation was over Charles and Sam said they had a surprise for Molly and proceed to blindfold her, and drove a short way before coming to a stop, Charles had guided Molly up a stony path, and walked her though a door, and took the blindfold off and Molly looked around and it was filled with their things, 'What's going on Charlie' stuttered Molly, 'Welcome come as Beth and Bill came out from their hiding place, 'when how what? Molly said as she tried to compose herself after such a surprise, 'Well our house in Aldershot sold quite quickly and we found this one and knew it be perfect as it was only 10 minute drive from barracks and we have some lovely neighbours' Charles said leading her into the Garden where she saw Kinders, Jackie and little Dylan, who was named after Smurf,

Molly became teary and gave everyone another hug, and spent the rest of the night chatting and catching up on the last few weeks.

Molly had been home for about 6 weeks, and had just come home from a shift at the hospital, she noticed the answering machine flashing and pressed play, and she had a message from a solicitors office in London, Stating she needed to attend a will reading for a Mrs Ivy Thompson and Molly had to phone them to state she was attending.

After phoning the solicitors office, Charles had walked in from college and Molly replayed the message and Charles turned to Molly looking confused and said 'isn't that your Nan's name?' Molly was trying not to cry and said 'yea, but they are not answering the phone' 'who your parents?' asked Charles 'yeah them or the little bleeders!' Molly said getting more and more angry, so Charles decided to try but to no avail, So they both decided to wait for a few days and see what the will stated.

A few days later Charles dropped Molly off at the solicitors office whilst he did some shopping, as she had arrived early, Molly entered the reception area and booked in with the receptionist, 'Molly James, I am here to see Mr Clarke regarding Mrs Thompson's will reading' Molly told the receptionist, 'Thank Mrs James, we're just waiting for Mr and Mrs Dawes and he'll call you in, just take a sit' said the receptionist, 'Thank you' said Molly, just as she sat down she came face to face with her parents who she'd not seen Molly bumped into them when she was in London for a day out with Jackie, and they found out about her and Charles separating and did the whole told you so speech, she had fallen out with them when she married Charles as her dad accused her of abandoning the family and getting idea's above her station and because Charles wasn't Smurf or Artan.

Molly stood up to go and speak to her parents when Mr Clarke had called them in as they entered Molly could feel Dave Dawes eyes burning into the back of her head, which he did to try and make Molly feel uncomfortable, as Mr Clarke began reading Ivy's will, Dave was becoming more and more angry, it turned out that all Molly's Nan died of a Lung Cancer a week ago and the funeral had already taken place, which hurt Molly, but turned out her Nan had left each of the grandchildren £5,000 each which was to be held in trust until they all had jobs and Careers, and all she left Belinda was her house with a stipulation Dave had to get a job to help with household bills as the house was brought and paid for, and they couldn't sell it, as Mr Clarke finished Dave turned around and asked if they was anything else, which the only thing left was a letter for Molly and with that Dave turned to Belinda 'come on we are going' stormed out, with Belinda following quickly muttering something that sounded like sorry, She shook Mr Clarke's hand and took the letter.

Once outside the office Molly was about to phone Charles when she spotted him waiting for her, in the entrance, she smiled at him and he walked up to her and kisses her and brought her in to a hug, then she spotted Dave and Belinda coming out of the shop over the road, before Dave could walk across the road to rant at her and Charles they decided to walk away and get the train back to home, once on the train Molly explained about that happened in the will reading and that Dave had become angry about Molly being the only one to get the money left to her and only getting the house, and that Molly's Nan had left her a letter, Charles asked if she was going to open it and she said she couldn't so Charles asked if she wanted him to do it for her and she could only nod, he opened the letter and begun to read it…..

To my eldest grandchild Molly,

This is like one of them letters from the grave you've properly wrote so often before you go on tour, if you are reading this then I didn't get to make it up with you, I regret a lot of thing like letting my good one go to be with your grandfather, but my biggest regret is siding with your mother and father over you marrying your good one, I let your father and mother make me believe that if you marry Charles or progressed you'd forget where you come from and that you'd forget us, as you came back from tour a different person so full of confidence and glowing by encouraging your mother to go for her teaching assistants qualification, and that you didn't care about us, which she only told me once she was knew I was dying, and that your father had phoned you to tell you about me being ill and couldn't be bothered, I need you to know I am so sorry, I know I've probably missed out on so much, but I am so proud of you for making something of yourself and doing well in your career, I want you to be the best, climb up the ranks and become the best you can be and I hope the £5,000 I left you will help you achieve your destiny. I best go now Molly. I am sorry and I love you.

Love always

Nan

P.s If Charles is with you please tell him to look after you

As Charles finished Molly was sobbing, and Charles hugged her and told her he'll phone around and see if he can find out the details of her funeral and see if where is was laid to rest, once they got back to they house, Molly decided to go for a lie down as she was feeling drained and tired its been a tough few days.
