Brian's P.O.V
"Anita I don't know if this is the best idea" I said to her as she looked through the phone book. "Brian you should have seen it, it was awful there the windows were shattered and they have no heating which is awful since it's winter, oh please Brian." I sighed, I always wanted to make Anita happy even if I wasn't so sure, "are you sure? It's a lot of responsibility," she nodded her head vigorously. "I can do it. We can do it, it will be a challenge but I just know we can." I took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright let's call"

*3 weeks later*

"Josephine? This is Brian and Anita, they're going to take you home for a while." I looked at the young girl in front of me, she looked remarkably like me, she had long dark brown hair that had a slight wave to it, she had a long face with bright blue eyes. She was beautiful, she was also Rosalie's age so hopefully she could have a friend. Anita smiled and gave her a hug. "Welcome to the family," Josephine looked uncomfortable for a moment but she relaxed and hugged Anita back. I smiled as Josephine immediately gave me a hug after. "It's nice to meet both of you," she had a quiet voice, she looked very shy, and she went up to a little below my shoulder. We were told that she had been abandoned at a very young age, and had been moving from place to place in foster care. This little girl was really starting to grow on me. "Why don't we go home hmm?" Anita said kindly and Josephine nodded smiling. I grabbed her bag and got her in the car. I could already tell Josephine didn't talk a lot. And she only said the bare minimum when she did talk. Anita started asking her basic questions to try to break through the ice, such as what her favorite color was and what kind of clothes she liked, and before I knew it we were home. Josephine looked at our house with wide eyes, it must have looked like a mansion to her, I smiled to myself as I thought of what she would think of Freddie's home. We went inside and I showed her the bedroom we made for her. "We can go shopping this weekend and get some things to make your bedroom feel more you, I just wasn't sure what you would be into." Josephine smiled, "thank you, I just can't believe this is happening, I've loved queen since I was little" she stopped abruptly and blushed. "Sorry" I sat next to her on the bed and put my arm around her, "it's quite alright, it just means you have a good taste in music." Josephine was tense, but she slowly relaxed and leaned into me. "The rest of the band wants to meet you tomorrow, are you ok with that? Freddie has a daughter about your age, maybe you two could be friends." Josephine's eyes lit up at the mention of Freddie. "I can meet Freddie?" I laughed and nodded, "he'll be your uncle, as well as Roger and John." Josephine smiled widely. "I'd like that." I got up and took a breath, "alright I'm going to go confirm plans, make yourself at home" Josephine nodded and I went to the kitchen to call Freddie. The line rang for a moment before Rosalie picked up, "Hello?!" She asked excitedly, "hey rosebud!" I replied. "Oh hi uncle Brian," I could hear the disappointment in her voice, she probably thought I was Billy. I heard Freddie in the background, "Rosalie what have I told you about being on the phone when your grounded?" I raised my eyebrows, "uh oh, you got grounded?"  Rosalie gave a short laugh and suddenly the phone was taken by Freddie, "Brian, Hello! Oh do tell me everything!! What's her name, what does she look like?!" I laughed a little bit, "her name is Josephine, and she looks remarkably like me Fred," Freddie laughed, "taking the piss," I let out a breath, "I'm serious Fred, but she is beautiful, and she's a little shy but I think we can get over that."   "Are you still coming over tomorrow?" I was about to answer when I heard Rosalie say, "they better be I spent 3 hours cleaning the house for it." I put my hand over my mouth to cover a smile, "Rosalie!" Freddie exclaimed, "get off the phone!" Rosalie hung up but not before telling me to come. "Yes Freddie we'll be there." I could hear the excitement in his voice. "Oh good! Be hear at noon sharp! Also I want you to know Rosalie has a cold, so make sure Josephine doesn't catch it" I smiled, "alright Freddie we'll be there." We said our goodbyes and I hung up the phone. I could not believe I had agreed to this. The shock started to register. I already was a father before Josephine, but me and my ex-wife had split custody, and she had more time with the kids then I did, so to be a father to a child that I get to stay with for as long as I wanted. It gave me joy. I looked at the clock, it was already 9:00, how late do teenagers usually stay up. I knocked softly on Josephine's door, I heard a faint "come in" so I quietly opened the door and I saw Anita sitting on the bed with her. Josephine was under the covers, "I was just telling her about how you and I met," Anita said and I smiled. "Well that story is going to have to wait because it is time for bed," Josephine smiled sheepishly and gave Anita a hug, "goodnight" she said. "Goodnight my love," Anita said getting up. I gave Josephine a hug and tucked her under the covers, "goodnight sweetheart," I said kissing her head tenderly. I flicked of her light and quietly closed the door.

Josephine's P.O.V
This past day has been a dream come true, I could not believe that I was living with the Brian May, and that we were on our way to the Freddie Mercury's house. Everything was happening so soon, and so quickly it was hard to keep up. "Are you excited?" Anita asked me and I nodded enthusiastically. The car stopped, "come along then," Brian said kindly. I got out of the car and what I saw almost made my eyes pop out of my head, there was the biggest house I had ever seen right in front of me, and there was the most beautiful garden. "This is Freddie's house?" I asked in awe. Brian smiled, "yes it is,"  I let out a breath, "I've never seen anything so big in my life" Anita smiled, "I think it's a bit much, but that's just me," Brian nodded and led us inside, it was even more beautiful then the outside, "wow." I said under my breath, a man in a flowered blue shirt with jeans met us in the hall way, he had brown hair and a brown mustache. "Peter I feel like I haven't seen you in ages!" Brian said giving the man a hug. I held onto Anita's hand and squeezed. "Yeah, sorry about that, Freddie has me working day and night on this vanilla ice thing." As Brian continued to talk to him I whispered in Anita's ear, "who is that?" Anita smiled, "that is phoebe, he's Freddie's assistant." I nodded. "Everyone is in the back," phoebe said and Brian nodded, "good to see you mate," he said before we walked through the house, I didn't know how he knew where to go, it was like a maze. We reached the back yard and the garden and size just blew me away. "Ah Brian so good to see you!" A man wearing a white shirt with khaki pants shook Brian's hand. "Hello Jim," where is Freddie and Rosalie?" Jim smiled sheepishly, "Rosalie hasn't been feeling very well, and as a result she has been very sassy, so Freddie is "fixing" her before the party." Brian nodded in understanding but I didn't understand at all. "Is this Josephine?!" Jim asked noticing me for the first time, I smiled, "Hello," I said quietly holding out my hand, Jim smiled and shook it, "Hello Josephine, I'm Jim, Brian you were right she really does look a lot like you," I blushed and looked down as Brian's smile widened. "Josephine this is Uncle Freddie's boyfriend," boyfriend? Freddie was gay? There was once a boy at the orphanage who was gay, and all the boys teased him for it, I nodded, and Jim gave me a warm smile. "Well come sit down, Freddie and Rosalie should be down any minute," I followed Brian to a little table, there was a blonde man sitting there with a dark haired girl, "Roger! How are you mate?!" Roger Taylor of course! How could I not have recognized him?! "Brian! Nice to see you, is this Josephine?!" I blushed, I wasn't so used to being center of attention. "Yes it is, say hello dear," I gulped and let out a small hello. Roger laughed, "Hello Josephine, I'm your uncle roger." I smiled, the lady next to him kissed my hand, "and I'm your Aunt Dominique," I was starting to get anxious, Brian noticed, and he placed his arm over me leaning me into his shoulder and rubbing my arm. I saw two people walk out the back door. It was Freddie and who I assumed was Rosalie. Freddie was wearing a plain white shirt tucked into blue jeans fastened with a belt, and Rosalie was wearing a plain long sleeve white shirt that was tucked into a black skirt, not the flowy kind, this skirt was tight. She had black hair that was pulled into a half up, she was very pretty, but she looked like she had been crying, Freddie had his arm around her. They made our way over to us, "who is this gorgeous girl!" Freddie asked indicating to me. I giggled. "I'm Josephine it's a pleasure." Freddie shook my hand, "welcome to the family darling, this is my daughter Rosalie," Rosalie smiled, "hi," it looked like she was having a bad day, "your very pretty," I said, Rosalie smiled, "thank you sweetheart! That's very kind of you to say," Freddie and Rosalie sat across from us and Freddie whispered something in her ear, Rosalie nodded and Freddie kissed her head as she leaned on his shoulder. They seemed to be very touchy. "Where's John?" Brian asked taking a drink of his wine. "He couldn't make it but he said he would swing by your house later to meet Josephine." I looked around. I could not believe I had all of these people as a family in one day.

Omg it's an early Christmas, I updated twice in a week! Ok so I can't decide if I like this chapter, because it doesn't have a lot to do with Rosalie and it's her book, so let me know what you think, I will probably never do anything like this again, thanks for bearing with me, so this is Josephine!! I have wanted to add her in for a while! I'll try to get my next chapter In soon, love you lots! Love you Freddie❤️
