After Thomas’ visit to his home, Michael had decided to come find his mother. He had been told his whole life he had been taken away from his biological mother because she was abusive and a drug addict, but upon getting to know her in the kitchen of her families home, he realised that wasn’t the case at all.

You walk into the house with Finn, joking about something. You see Thomas stood by the door and Arthur and John stood near the table. You then see Polly sat at the table with a young boy who’s wearing a weird suit and a bow tie, though he is quite handsome. John and Arthur look like they’ve embarrassed the hell out of Polly. They had teased him about his outfit, his hair and how ‘posh’ and ‘soft’ he is before Tommy had told them he’s their cousin, and then they told the boy about how they use to put him in a box and kick him down Watery Lane when he was a baby, and how John would stand outside and Arthur would drop him from the second story window so John could catch him.

They all look over as you and Finn come in. Thomas looks at Finn.

“Finn, meet your cousin, Michael.” Thomas says gruffly, which gets a confused look from Finn, since he wasn’t born when Michael was around. Michael nods at Finn and looks at you.

“Are you my other cousin, Ada?” He asks curiously.

Nah I’m not blood relation, plus Ada is way older and lives in London and kinda hates us all and uses Thorne as her last name since she married-“ You start before getting cut off by Pol.

“That’s Leah. She lives with us, and is apart of our family. She isn’t blood as she said, but she’s been with us ever since she was born” Your parents had just dropped you off at Pol’s doorstep.

“Oh I’m Henry. Well it’s Michael. Henry is what my adoptive family call me” Michael says and smiles at you slightly, glancing you up and down. You look down at your outfit. It’s one of Tommy’s old suits that you’ve wrecked with dirt and rips.

“Alright you lot, out. Give Pol and her son some time to catch up.” Thomas orders gruffly.
