It was late Saturday night and i was sat in the garrison with my brothers and cousin. We were getting to know Michael a bit better.

"That's a big family" Michael said once we've finished explaining our family to him

"That's not it. We have another sister. Rose. Same father different mother." Arthur said

"Where's she?" He asked

"Lives in America with her mother. She visits whenever possible though" John answered. We carried on the night until it reached 1am when we walked out the pub. We walked to pollys but on the way, I could have sworn we were being watched. I kept my eyes open and looked at our surroundings.

We kept walking and I was abit tipsy. That's a lie. I was drunk. We all were. Suddenly, I felt something on my back making me jump.

"Hey Big bro" fucking hell. Its Rose. I spun her around and gave her a hug and kiss

"You've grown" I said. Everyone turned around and saw rose. Arthur ran over and lifted her up and gave her a kiss

"What you doing out at this time?" He asked

"Mamas drunk again" she stated making us nod in understanding. Tommy was next to hug her

"How long you staying?" He asked

"Dunno. Mamas drunk. But she's still in America" she said

"You ran away?" I asked

"Ha. That's funny. You know I don't run" she said making me chuckle

"Who's the turd?" She asked looking at Michael

"Oh erm I'm Michael" he introduced and went to shake her hand

"Pollys son. Our cousin" Arthur said

"Bet she's glad to have you back" Rose said

"I'm glad to be back" Michael told her. We walked the rest of the way home with my arm around roses shoulder and singing in the streets. Best thing about our little sister is doesn't matter if she's had 8 drinks or 3 or even non. She doesn't get embarrassed by being happy and a little crazy. She's constantly dancing, singing or saying weird shit. But that's why we love her.

We got to pollys and Rose ran in first

"Yo yo yo" she yelled through the house

"Have you had a drink?" Tommy asked

"Noooo" she said but burst out laughing at the end. Aunt pol and ada came in through the kitchen

"Oh my god" polly yelled before running over and engulfing Rose in a hug.

"What are you going here?" She asked completely shocked

"Mamas drunk. So I left America. Then got a tiny bit tipsy myself" she admitted making polly roll her eyes. Ada hugged her next

"I'm so glad you're back" she said kissing her forehead

"Rose" we heard Finns voice from the stairs

"Finny" she yelled waving her arms about. Yep. Definitely drunk. Finn ran and she lifted him up in a big hug

"I've missed you" he said

"I've missed you too" she said kissing his cheeks

"How long you here for?" He asked her

"Not long I think. You know what my Mamas like. She'll notice I'm gone in a few days and be forced to come and collect me" she explained. This happened every time. The longest Rose has been here is a week. It was over Christmas and her mother didn't notice she was gone for 7 days.

"I love you. But you woke me up you prick so I'm going bed" finn said making me laugh. He yawned and rubbed his eyes

"Come on. I'll go with ya. We can all catch up tomorrow" I said looking at everyone

"Good night love. Glad you're back" my older brothers said as I lifted finn up. He wrapped his arms around my neck and rested his head on my shoulder. I took finn upstairs and went into his room. I lay him in bed and climbed in. I have a room at Arthur's because that's where I stay normally but I've missed finn so much. I don't have a favourite brother. But i just have a more liked brother which happens to be finn. I wrapped my arms around him and we fell asleep

The next day we all cancelled any work we had to do so we could go on a family picnic with rose. Polly made sandwiches and then we all left. We drove until we got to the field. Rose took her shoes off as did finn and they began to run bare foot in the grass as we set down the blanket. John his knew wife esme and their kids turned up and the kids immediately began running about. Arthur had baby Karl on his knee and was pulling funny faces. The weather was warm and sunny and it was bright in the field

We heard a scream so looked immediately towards the kids. Turned out Rose was just tickling finn and making him squeal like a little girl. The kids ran over and sat down on the picnic blanket. We got out the food and started eating.

"Who's that daddy?" Katie asked John pointing to a man in the distance

"I don't know love" he replied. We watched as the man got closer. We all stood up and got the kids behind us as I grabbed my gun. Rose was right behind my holding my hand

"Mr shelby?" The man asked

"Yes" I said cautiously

"My names Benjamin Parker. I've come to take my niece back to america" he said. Rose stepped out from behind me

"Uncle benny! I just got here" she whined as she walked closer to him

"I know love. But your mother sobered up faster than normal" he explained

"Can we stay just for a few more hours?" She asked. He turned to me

"If that's alright with you Mr shelby"

"Of course" I said. We all sat down and Rose explained that Benjamin was her mothers brother. He seemed nice to rose, treated her like a daughter. Although I really didn't want to let her go. After a few more hours, we packed up and Rose got ready to say goodbye. She hugged me tightly

"When do you think I'll see you again?" She asked. I grabbed her chin and kneeled down

"I'll come and get you in 4 months for your birthday. Until then, call if you need anything and try and stay away from your mother. You know what's she like" I warned. She nodded sadly. She hugged everyone else and lastly was finn

"I don't want you to go" he said

"I don't wanna go either. But I've got to. America would simply fall apart without me" she said making him laugh

"Sure" he agreed rolling his eyes. Rose kissed his cheek and hugged him close to her chest

"I'll see you soon finny" she said.

"Look after her" I told her uncle shaking his hand

"Always" he replied. He grabbed roses hand and they waved goodbye before leaving for America. I always hated goodbyes. But it made saying hello so much nicer. I just had to wait until her 15th birthday. God her 15th birthday. She's 14 and I've only seen her 30 times in her life. I should be there every day but unfortunately it's not possible
