Amelia’s Place, St. Ives, Cornwall, England:
Amelia covers up a yawn as she walks into her house. She was tired and it was late. She puts her keys to the restaurant and house in a crystal bowl by the front door. She knew her husband was already home and sleeping.
She walks into her girl’s bedroom and notices that Carrie had left a movie playing on her laptop. She picks up the tablet and turns it off. She places it on the nightstand next to her daughter’s bed. She tucks the blanket around Carrie and places a kiss on her forehead.
She turns around and looks at Carrie’s twin Angela. Angela was the complete opposite of her sister. She was the wild one and loved to get into fights with the boys at school. Both her girls were talented and smart as whips.
She tucks Angela in and places a kiss on her forehead. She had been surprised that she was pregnant with twins. Her husband had twins on his side of the family, but she didn’t know anything about her birth family.
She called her mother and arranged for her to come by the restaurant tomorrow. She told her about the other woman she was shown a video of and wanted to talk to her mother about that woman. She knew her mother uses to be a private nurse and midwife.
“Sleep tight, my little angels.” Amelia closes the girl's bedroom door as she exists and walks across the hallway to her bedroom.
As she walks into her bedroom, she notices her husband was sound asleep. She undresses and crawls into bed, after putting her nightgown on.
She fluffs her pillow and falls asleep. Sometimes during the night, she feels her husband spoon up against her and hold her.
She loves feeling his strong arms holding her. She wiggles closer against his body. She falls into a little sleep. Since she had children, she has never allowed herself to fall into a deep sleep.
Around five in the morning, the alarm clock goes off in the bedroom. She buries her head under her pillow and elbows her husband. He always set the alarm for five in the morning. She feels him stir as he reaches over and turns the alarm off.
A few minutes later, the alarm goes off again. She elbows her husband, as she gets up and walks across the hallway to wake the girls. Getting either girl up and ready for school was a chore first thing in the morning. She opens the girl’s bedroom door and heard their alarm clock going off.
“Up and at um, girls.”
“Do we have to, Mom?” Carrie sits up in bed and looks over at her mother.
“Yes, you do sweetie. Get up and put your school uniform on.” Amelia walks over to Angela’s bed and pulls the covers off her.
“Come on Angela, time to get up.” Amelia looks down at her daughter.
Angela was born a few minutes after Carrie, but when she was in her womb. Angela was the more active one, whereas her sister wasn’t.
“I’m up.” Angela rolls out of bed and falls onto the floor.
“Are you sure?” Amelia reaches down and helps her daughter up off the floor.
Amelia notices that Angela’s nipples were pierced. She shakes her head “Young lady, when did you get your nipples to pierce?”
“A few days ago, Mom.” Angela knew lying to her mother was out of the question.
“You do know you are underage, don’t you?” There was a serious look on Amelia’s face when she looked at her daughter.
“I know, but I did it myself.” Angela was proud of the piercing she did.
Amelia shakes her head and wonders where she went wrong. She couldn’t believe her daughter did her piercing.
“Do you have any more piercings?”
“Other than the ones in my ears, no ma’am.” Angela has been thinking about getting a belly button one and maybe one on her clit.
“Next time you decide to pierce your body, talk to me first, please?” Amelia was upset with her daughter, but it was her body and she had to live with the consequences.
Amelia turns and shuts the bedroom door behind her. She walks into her bedroom and starts getting dressed. When she spots her husband “Do you know what Angela did?”
“No, what did she do now?” Ralph looks at his wife as he puts an undershirt on.
“She pierces her nipples.” Amelia puts on a clean pair of panties and sprinkles some baby powder onto her body, before putting her bra on.
“She is getting wilder and wilder every day. You know the school called me yesterday about her.” Ralph couldn’t believe he got a phone call about Angela.
“What did she do now?” Amelia looks at her husband.
“She punched Billy Cornwall in the chest and knocked him to the ground.” Ralph couldn’t believe his daughter knocked the wind out of a guy that was a foot taller and well-built.
“That reminds me. Charlie showed me a video on YouTube of a woman that looks just like me in an MMA fight.”
“Yeah? I would love to see that. Your afraid of spiders and scream like a little girl when you see one.” Ralph knew his wife didn’t like spiders or mice.
“They are scary. I had Charlie send me the link so I could show you.” Amelia grabs her cell phone and shows her husband the fight.
Ralph watches the video and couldn’t believe that the woman fighting was identical to his wife. She was quick and fast. He couldn’t believe how she looked. He had to look at his wife a few times to compare them.
“Your right, she is identical to you. Have you spoken with your mother about her?” Ralph hands the cell phone back to his wife.
“No, not yet. I asked her to come by the restaurant so I could talk with her.” The woman in the video was puzzled to her.
“Let me know what your mother says.” Ralph kisses Amelia, before leaving the bedroom.
Amelia checks to see if the girls were ready, after fixing a light breakfast for them and packing their lunches. She knew their friends were jealous because her girls always had nice lunches.
“Alright girls, come on and get a move on.” Amelia watches as her girls rush from their bedroom.
Both girls sit down and eat their light breakfast. When they are done, they grab their lunches and follow their mother out to her car. Angela takes the front seat, while her sister sits in the backseat.
Amelia drives the girls to school and drops them off. Before they exit the car “Dad is coming by to pick you up. Go and learn something.”
“We will, Mom.” The girls get out of the car and head toward their friends.
Amelia watches as her girls head toward their friends. She drives towards the restaurant to begin prepping everything for opening. She didn’t do the breakfast crowd but opened for lunch and dinner. It gave her time to spend the morning with her girls and to go by the market to pick up fresh vegetables and spices.

I wonder
If Amelia's mom knows about Arlin aka Mad Hatter Arlin Aka Hatter. I wonder if mom knows the WHOLE story. Probably not

As far as everyone knew. Aylin died while inside the mental hospital. As the story goes of her supposed death. She committed suicide by slicing her wrist. A fake funeral had been provided for her by her father. Since no one really knew what Aylin looked like as a child. Finding a body that looked like her was easy to do.
Amelia's mother heard rumors about Aylin being put in the mental hospital, but she doesn't know why she was put there. She only helped smuggle Amelia out as a favor to Amelia and Aylin mother.
You'll learn more about Amelia, Aylin and their parents in the up coming chapters.
