Chapter One - The Parker Family Jemima Beatrice Parker entered the world on July 1st, 2000, amid excitement and disbelief. Lots of other babies were also born that day, but none quite like the new addition to the Parker family. For after 3 boys, Mr. and Mrs. Parker at last, had their long-awaited girl. Mrs. Parker had dreamed of tiny, pink jackets and dainty pink bonnets, for as long as she could remember. It was not that she didn't love her boys, but there was something special about a girl. Little did Mrs. Parker know, just how "special"! The boys, Jack, Lachlan and Henry still remember the first time they stole a glimpse of their little sister (or JB as they call her now.) Their father, Mr. Parker had woken them up late one night. Jack, who was the youngest boy had fallen asleep reading his favorite comic. He woke first, and heard scurrying out in the hallway. Bleary eyed, he sat up and brushed his blond hair from his forehead. He squinted and could just make out the shape of his father entering the room. The lights were on in the hallway, and he could hear his Mother bustling through the room next to him. Mr. Parker crept over to Jack and began to bundle him up into his arms. "What's happening, Dad?" mumbled Jack. His father, beaming, though still looking a little anxious, replied: "It's time, Jack. Mommy is going to have the baby." Jack, still trying to comprehend what was happening, rubbed his eyes and smiled weakly. He wondered why babies pick the most inconvenient times to arrive? By now, Lachlan and Henry were awake. Lachlan the eldest of the Parker boys helped Henry gather his suitcase, which had been ready for just this night. Mrs. Parker had prepared her boys well, for she knew that when the time finally came, Mr. Parker,(God bless him) might be in such a fluster, that he may forget where the boys clothes were. The three boys, with suitcases in hand, were still trying to comprehend what had got them up so late in the night. Henry complained, that he didn't want a sister anyway and was quite convinced that this baby was going to be trouble. Being six years old, with red hair like his mother, Henry was the fiery one of the family and always spoke his mind. Lachlan hushed him, as Mr. Parker led the three children. into the kitchen, where Mrs. Parker was drinking a cup of tea. She looked calm and hugged the boys one after the other. "Now, boys Aunt Beatrice will be looking after you for a few days, while I am in hospital with your new baby sister". The boys had been told a few months prior, about the girl that was about to enter into their lives, so it really was no surprise to them. But who could have imagined the surprises that lay ahead. |
