•Chapter 1•
My names Rosie, but I'm sometimes called Ro, I have unusual black eyes and cherry red hair. With a straight fringe and curly longish hair. I have a sister called Carly, she's 19 neat and perfect. Then there's Harriet. 18, Weird and full of random ideas. Then me, I'm 16. Then we have Dan, The seven year old, quiet and obsessed with animals. My mum is funny and soft. My dad is funny like mum but can't take a joke. He can sometimes. 'Come on u lot!!' Mum called from the kitchen. Me, my sisters and Dan slumped downstairs and sat on the chairs around the table. 'We have big news!!' Mum grinned as though she was going to say a new joke. Carly made a go on then face. 'I'm having twins!!' Mum grinned. 'Ha ha ha ha!!' Carly grinned back. Mums grin faded. And everyone was silent. Dan looked up at our stunned faces then looked down again to his blu tack moulding. 'No more after these!!' Carly asked her looking a bit afraid. 'No...' Dad reassured her. 'Thats a teamwork effort.' Dan lifted his head. 'How do you mean??' He asked. I woulda burst out laughing. But I was too stunned to think of it. 'This'll be good,' Hatty muttered under her breath. Carly waited, ready for the drama. 'You haven't had the talk with him yet!!' Mum hissed to him. Dad stayed silent. And Dan walked out in confusion.
