“Does it fit?”
Autumn heard no reply
There was a short pause and autumn drew in breath ready to speak when the door opened, she gasped lightly but with a smile that said ‘you look lovely’ as the young girl stepped out of the bathroom.
“What’s your name dear?” autumn questioned
“harri” the girl replied with softly
“harri?”
“short for harriet”
“I prefer harriet” autumn said smiling, she was the ryans housekeeper an aging woman and widow who took up the position for a free room in their house she just cooked and cleaned, which she did and well and was more like a friend really. She had a heart of gold, her daughter and grandson had emigrated to new Zealand and she missed them dearly, immediately harri reminded her of her own daughter zoe, the same beautiful looks and natural grace. Although autumn was an old fashioned woman she sympathised with harri and believed in second chances, she had no idea that this girl would become like a child to her and she would treasure her dearly but for now she just had a ‘good feeling about this one.’

She led harri downstairs, she was dressed in Marcia’s old pyjamas that had been shrunk in the washing which irritated Marcia at the fact that she could fit into them.
Her brown hair was sodden and tangled and her make-up had run down to her nose, and as she warmed herself up by the fire carl and marcia entered the kitchen where harris stunning looks and bubbling personality hadn't gone unnoticed espescially by carl.

Autumn had to prepare dinner and brought down harri to help her, and after they had prepared the meal sat down with Marcia and Carl to eat it.

After they had finished Autumn kindly asked permission to leave the dining table and went to set up the guest bedroom for harri, while the remaining three chatted over coffee.

“So, harriet how come you are well - here?” Marcia intrigued
“Marcia!” carl said laughing uncomfortably “maybe she doesn’t want to talk about this right now….”
“She won’t mind I mean we’re putting her up for the night.” Marcia said sassily
“no i i don’t mind!” harri chimed in “erm well my parents didn’t like my boyfriend and chucked me out when I refused to stop seeing him, they thought he was no good and well they were right but I didn’t want to admit that they were right, and so I started doing this hopping from house to house for a ‘few days’ hoping one will let me stay permanently but…they don’t and then the longer time goes by the harder it is to go home.”
“what do you mean your parents were right?” Marcia
asked leaning forward, holding carls hand.

“oh well he was no good I mean he left me the moment he found out I was pregnant…” harri said nonchalantly “and I don’t want it either…” she continued “but I woke up one morning and he had already left” she chuckled “I should have known really…”

Marcia and Carl were bolt upright in their seats had they really just heard that? Was a complete stranger staying in their home pregnant with a child she didn’t want?
“I’m sorry what - what did you just say?” carl said bewildered.

Harri caught their couple’s confused look and tilted her head backward, then lowered her chin reading their expression.

“I’m pregnant.”

unfortunatly i left the computer without pausing and came back to find that lola who plays harri had died and i hate using the zombie telephone and it was too far back to quit, so the next post will still be lola and then i think the post after that will be carly as harri they look almost the same except for their skintone hehe.

I like this story so far. You have an interesting storyline, and are developing your characters nicely, so we're learning a little more about them with each chapter. I'm interested to see where the story goes next. If I may make a suggestion? If you go under options and set your snapshot size to large, your pictures will be much easier to see. If you get tired of the plumbbob getting in the way, open your cheat box and type plumbbobtoggle This will turn it off. You'll need to turn it off each time you exit and re enter the lot, but it just takes a second. I'm sorry one of your main characters up and died in the middle of the story! That's a real bummer. But, it sounds like you've got an alternative. I also really like the name Harri. I think that's really cute for a girl. Keep up the good work!
