Chapter 6
so, should I make Kerry and James make up in the story? Review and let me know!
Later that night James decided he was going to go for a walk around the local park with Scarlett and asked if any of the others wanted to come.
"We will all go" Ewart said
"The fresh air will do us good!" Lauren said staring pointedly at Kerry who sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Just remember to wrap up warm!" Ewart reminded everyone "it is quite cold outside now!"
James covered Scarlett in a warm blanket and put a thick hoody on whilst everyone else got their coats and hats on.
Scarlett was very well behaved on the walk and half way round, a man and his son came to introduce themselves. "You must me the new guys, I'm Adam Divire and this is my son Tom, we live just next to you" the man said, shaking all of their hands
"Well I'm Ewart Monroe, and this is my son Kyle, daughters, Kerry and Lauren and my son James, and James's daughter Scarlett." Ewart said in response introducing them all.
"Wow, a daughter at your age!" Mr Divire said in shock,
"Yes, but he is a brilliant father, I think it's done him a world of good" Ewart said "at first I was shocked, we all were naturally, he made plans to get his own place with the mother, but sadly she died in childbirth so we are all sticking together, one thing that it has taught us is that there is nothing more important than family," Ewart said
"That's very true, I can sympathise a lot with you James" Mr Divire said "my wife also died in childbirth, it's very hard to deal with, and it hurts a lot with every passing day. If you ever wish to talk about it or get some advice then come round any time, I take it your not at school?"
"No, I'm studying from home!" James said in response. "Thank you very much for the offer, I will probably take you up on it at some point-"
He was suddenly cut off by Scarlett crying "sorry" he said aloud as he rocked her against his chest, and shushed her.
"She's beautiful" Mr Divire said kindly
"Thanks, she takes after her mother" James replied smiling sadly, to which Mr Divire nodded in understanding.
"What year are you in?" Tom asked Lauren.
"I'm in year 9" Lauren said, "I think I'm going to Corresdon High School"
"You"ll be in the same year and school as me" Tom replied "do you know which form You are in yet?"
"Yes, I think it's 9DI." Lauren replied
"Ace! That's the same form as me, well Lauren, if you ever want to hang out, we live just next door remember!" He said " anyway I have to go dad" he said turning to his father.
"Oh yes of course!" Mr Divire said " if you need anything, just knock" he said smiling.
"That's very kind of you, thank you" Ewart said as they parted ways.
"They seem really nice!" Lauren said thoughtfully.
When they returned, James fed, burped and changed Scarlett before settling her to sleep. Kyle smiled and watched as he read a story to his daughter
"What is so funny?" James demanded upon finishing the story
"Nothing, honest, you are just a great dad!" Kyle said "she really is everything to you isn't she?"
James nodded "of course, she is amazing!" He replied
Kyle nodded "want to watch the dictator on DVD?" He asked and James nodded, they both settled on James's bed to watch the film.
