Before I start I would like to thank chibidebba99 for keeping me going and getting me to finish this story! :D


Chapter 8

Alex opened the door; Amelia was sat of on one of the beds, her head in her hands. Fox had a comforting arm around her.

"Amelia?" Alex said, gently. She looked up; her face was red and blotchy from crying. Alex swallowed his nerves and built up his courage to talk to her again. "I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't mean what I said. I guess I was scared. I didn't think I had anyone left. My... Our parents were killed and so was our uncle. Ash, our godfather was a traitor to this country and was killed. But I have you." Amelia stood up. "Anyway, My guardian, Jack, I'm sure she won't mind having you around." Amelia's face lit up.

"You mean, I can come and live with you, brother and sister?"

"Yeah, brother and sister." Amelia took that chance and ran towards Alex and gave him a tight hug.

"Thank you."

"I don't mean to break up this family moment but social services called us back and they're on their way to collect you." Eagle said as he came in the room.

"They don't need to come anymore though. I can go home with Alex. Can't I?" She asked.

"I'm sure you can, once all the paperwork is done, it's not a simple process."

"Oh."

"I'll call Jack. I'll be back in a minute."

Alex walked out of the room and pulled his phone out of his pocket. "Hey Jack, its Alex."

He told her all about Amelia and the conversation left Jack in tears and Alex on the brink.

"Of course it's ok Alex!" She told him.

"Thank you, Jack."

"I'll see you soon, both of you. Love you, Alex."

"Love you too, Jack, bye." Alex put the phone back into his pocket and returned to the room to a waiting Amelia.

"What did she say?" She asked.

"That she'd be happy to have you around!" Alex smiled as he was squished once again into another hug.

9 weeks later

Alex sat on the sofa waiting for that knock on the door. Finally, at 11:37 it came. Alex dashed to the door and opened it wide and just catching it before it hit the wall.

"Hey Amelia." Alex said, this time it was him who hugged her. He welcomed her into their house followed closely by the social worker. He took her bags and offered to take them upstairs to her room and showed her round.

They had decorated the spare bedroom for Amelia a few weeks ago and was now a light pink with oak furniture.

"I love it, thank you Alex. I still cannot believe I found you after all these years. I'm really looking forward to living with you." She sat on the bed and Jack walked in.

"Hey Jack." She said, smiling still.

"Hey, how are you, do you like your room?" Jack asked.

"Yes, thank you, I love it. " Jack moved out of the room to finalise the paperwork downstairs with the social worker.

Amelia was home, with her brother and their guardian. Finally.

The End
