"Isla Connor, We believe that there may be some connection between you and the young boy that was recovered from Manchester today." The police officer said.
"Yes, I think he might be my little brother, Harry Jack Connor."
"Would you be willing to identify him from a picture?"
"Yes" I said as I sat up. The detective handed the police officer closest to me, a small piece of paper. He then handed it to me. I held the paper close to me and looked down at it. I saw the brown hair, that mum had and the cheekbones. His face was dirty but I could tell it was Harry from the eyes. I looked more at each little detail. I saw the scar on his forehead that he had from chicken pox when he was two.
I held out the picture in front of me, handing it to the police officer.
"Do you believe that this is your brother Harry Connor?"
"Yeah" I said as I nodded, not able to wipe the massive grin off of my face. Michelle squeezed my hand.I was taken along a corridor by a social worker, Michelle had stayed in a different room.
"Don't worry if he doesn't recognise you, it has been three years, he will get used to you."
"Ok" I said and she stroked my shoulder. She walked in front of me and opened the door. She walked in and I followed. I saw Harry sitting on the floor on the other side of the room. He was wearing a blue onesie that was too big for him and his brown hair was still the same as before. Another social worker sat on the sofa close to him. At first he didn't look away from the Lego on the floor. He did look up though, when he saw my socks standing at the door next to the social workers boots.
With his hands still clutching the Lego, his mouth and eyes wide open. He froze and so did I.
Then suddenly he dropped the lego and got up quickly. Without saying a word he ran towards me and wrapped his arms around my legs. I held onto the pits of his arms and pulled him up, without his arms letting go of me. He stretched his legs around me and his arms were around my neck.
"I missed you" he said as he pulled his head away.
"I missed you too baby boy"After a while of silent hugging, I sat down on one of the sofas. Harry sat next to me with his head on my arm.
"When is mummy getting here?" He asked me. I looked across to the social workers. They looked back at me,
"We haven't told him" one of them said.
"Harry, a lot has happened since you went, and we need to have a long talk about it"
"With mummy?"
"No little man."
"So what happened?"
"Well let me start at the beginning, so last year, mummy got married-"
"Again?" He said sarcastically.
"Yeah" I said giggling, "and she got married to Gail platt's son, nick and mummy was pregnant with a baby. And after the wedding, Elsa was, Elsa was in an accident and she was in lots of pain and she died."
"Did she go to heaven?" He asked.
"Yeah" I said, nodding. I was so impressed at how mature he had become.
"Carry on" he said, wiping his eye slightly, as I could see he wanted to cry.
"And so after the wedding everything was fine and mummy had a baby and she called her Jessica."
"I have another sister?" He said before huffing.
"Yeah" I said, as I put my arm around him. "And then a few months later, there was an accident and Bella and Jessica and Mummy were all very injured an-"
"Have they gone to heaven as well?"
"Yeah little man" I said as I lifted him onto my lap. He rested his head on my chest and I held his cheek. I felt his tears fall down his cheeks and onto my hand.
"Do you know what mummy wanted me to do when she died?" I said. He looked up to me.
"What?" He said.
"She said, that she wanted me to find you, she wanted you to come home."
"And you did it" he said smiling.
"No you did it too" I said kissing his head.
"Do I get to come and live with you now?" He asked me, looking up again.
"I don't know what's going to happen little man." I said, and we both turned to the social workers. They looked at each other.
"His medical check was all clear. He seems happy now he has you, we are happy for him to go home with you. We can discuss more if the details with your aunt, Michelle."
"Is Michelle here?" Harry said, looking up to me.
"Yeah Michelle's here" I said. He leaped off my knee and jumped up and down.
"Can we go and see Michelle?" He said loudly. The social workers nodded and I got up. I picked up Harry and we went out the door and back to the room we were in before. Michelle got up when we walked through the door. I put Harry down and he ran into Michelle's arm.That night, we got home late. There was no one left in the pub. Liz was just clearing tables when the three of us walked in.
"Zizzi" I called as we walked through the door.
"How was the hospital?" Liz said, without looking towards us.
"Good, we brought back a special little someone" Michelle said. Liz turned around and looked to Harry, who was stood next to me still in his blue onesie and trainers and clutching onto my hand.
"No way, after al this time" Liz said putting the glasses down and walking towards him. Harry hid behind my arm, smiling.
"We've finally got him back" I said.
"You look just like your mummy you know" Liz said as she bent down to him. Suddenly Zizzi came running in.
"Is this your doggy?" Harry said as he stroked her.
"Yeah this is Zizzi" I said bending down. By this time, Liz and Michelle were both stood behind the bar. Steve had come out and they were all talking. I was sat down on the floor with Harry on my knee and Zizzi next to us.
"I love you Isla Connor" Harry said.
"I love you Harry Connor" I replied.
