Lindsay laid awake for hours after the nightmare. She thought about her mum, the new baby, Emily, her step siblings and Scott. Lindsay looked at the ring on her finger and thought why she was marrying him. He hated her and hurt her. The night she had with Paul made her feel special and wanted and not like rubbish. Lindsay decided she wanted to break up with Scott, so she picked up her phone to get hold of Scott. Someone answered the phone, but Lindsay was shocked when she heard Scott laughing with another person. Another girl.
''Scott!'' Lindsay shouted down the phone ''Scott!''
''What do you want?'' Spat Scott, since his phone was on loudspeaker
''Who are you with?'' Lindsay questioned
''My new girlfriend, Heather.'' Scott laughed ''Let me tell you this. She is a million times better than you. You were just a game. Heather's the real thing.''
Heather then spoke to Lindsay ''Look love, don't be upset. I mean your just too young for him and-''
''I'm not your love.'' Lindsay snapped ''I hate you!''
Lindsay put the phone down and felt angry. In fact, she was fuming. Lindsay was wondering how long the affair had gone on. Lindsay began crying into her pillow when her phone rang again-it was Emily.
''Em?'' Lindsay sobbed
''Lindsay!'' Emily began ''Mum's having the baby.''
''What?'' Lindsay gasped ''Where is she?''
''John and mum have gone to the hospital and Miss Jones from next door's taking us in a bit.'' Explained Emily ''Come over quick!''
Lindsay ran into Rachel's room and she was excited yet nervous at the same time. The baby was early.
''Rachel.'' Lindsay began
''Hmmm.'' Mumbled Rachel
''My mum's having the baby!'' Lindsay exclaimed
Rachel jumped out of her bed and offered to take Lindsay round to her house. Rachel threw on a coat and they both dashed to the car.
Later, Rachel dropped Lindsay off and Lindsay ran inside. Miss Jones, the kind middle age woman, was there, ready to take Emily, Kyle, Hannah and Poppy to the hospital.
''Are you ready?'' Miss Jones asked
''Yes.'' Lindsay nodded
They all got into Miss Jones' people carrier car. Lindsay remembered the days Miss Jones use to take Emily and Lindsay out to the park, Blackpool, theme parks, the countryside. As the girls got older, they began to do their own things and now Miss Jones could take the new little one places. Tomorrow, mum and John were suppose to be seeing Michael at school to enrol Kyle, Hannah and Poppy at Waterloo Road. It was official then. Kyle would be in Emily's year, Hannah would be in Harley Taylor's year whilst Poppy would be joining Year 7. Kyle had dark brown hair with olive green eyes, Hannah had blonde hair with ocean blue eyes and Poppy had brown hair with brown eyes. Poppy was probably the one Emily and Lindsay liked most with her kind personality and sensitivity towards others. Kyle, Hannah and Poppy also had a 1 year old half brother called Isaac Brown, their mum's son. There was also Katie Holland, who was 17, from his first relationship. Katie lives in Newcastle and see's John whenever she can. Anyway, they arrived at the hospital and went straight to reception.
''Hello.'' Miss Jones began ''We're here to see Mrs James and Mr Holland.''
The woman typed the names 'James' and 'Holland' in the computer.
''Ward 3, room 4.'' She smiled
''Thanks.''
They hurried down the corridor quickly. It seemed to take forever to reach the room. Lindsay and Emily were giggling and pointing at the rather cute doctors.
''Hey cutie.'' Emily grinned at a rather old doctor with grey hair, glasses and a beard and she saw the doctor blush
''Em.'' Lindsay laughed
They eventually arrived and opened the door. John was sat next to Mrs James as Mrs James looked tired.
''Is it a boy or a girl?'' Hannah wondered
''Go and look.'' Mrs James smiled
The 5 of them headed over to a cot. They were baffled when they saw 2 babies.
''2?'' Kyle quizzed
''Meet your brother and sister.'' John beamed ''That's Melissa Rose and that's Joshua Luke.''
''Twins.'' Poppy triumphed in delight
Lindsay stood back as the others cooed over the new arrivals.
''Aren't you looking?'' Mrs James wondered
''No.'' Lindsay shook her head
''Come on Linds.'' Emily said
Lindsay took a deep breath before walking over to the cot and peered down at the 2 fragile and delicate babies. She had to admit-they were cute.
''So when are you coming home?'' Emily asked
''Tomorrow maybe.'' Mrs James replied ''John's taking you 3 to get enrolled.''
It was hard to tear themselves away from their brother and sister, even Lindsay found it difficult. John took them home to get some sleep since it was 4am in the morning. Lindsay felt kind of happy with her new brother and sister and now couldn't wait for them to come home. Maybe John wasn't that bad after all.
