A New Life              by: Sara

Part 4

Jenny was looking down at the floor as Sandra said, "I would like you to meet Jenny." so she didn't see the look on her face. All she heard was Cathy say, "Jenny?" or more shout it, which made Jenny jump. As Jenny started to look up, Cathy ran over to her and looked straight into her eyes. Jenny was so happy to be looking at Cathy in real life instead of a photo, that she felt funny and at that point everything went black.

When Jenny came to, she was on the sofa. There was no Cathy or Prue, but Sandra was sitting looking down at her with a sad look on her face.

"Where's Cathy and Prue?"

"Jenny, they've gone, Cathy was too upset to see you and the fact that you never told her you were still alive. She says that to her you are dead, and she never wants to hear from you again."

Jenny started to scream at this point and was about to jump up, but then she heard a voice say, "Jenny, Jenny are you ok?"

Jenny knew the voice and it wasn't Sandra. It was Cathy's. Jenny had been dreaming! She opened her eyes and found herself looking at Cathy and Prue. Jenny was on the floor looking up at the three faces, and feeling like a fool. Cathy gave Jenny her hand to help her up, and Jenny took it.

"Thanks sis, I feel so silly for fainting."

"I should be the one fainting. Now come over here and tell me what happened to you."

Jenny sat and went through the whole story of the night she ran away and trying to find Cathy and how the guys in the van had picked her up. And the bits that led to where she was now. Cathy was in shock to hear what had happened to her new sister. She felt like it was her fault. Jenny could see the tears in Cathy's eyes, and just started to hug her saying.

"It's all fine now that we're back together again."

Prue was looking at Jenny, and was in shock that the girl sitting there was once a boy. Jenny could see that Prue was looking her up and down, so she said, "Hi Prue, my name is Jenny, I am Cathy's sister. It's nice to finally meet you face to face."

"Face to face, what do you mean?"

At this point Sandra started to speak, "What Jenny means is I have had people taking photos of you two, so she could see you both every day and feel close to you both."

Cathy and Prue both looked at Jenny and smiled.

"Well Jenny, stand up, and let me take a look at my new sister then."

Jenny stood up and did a spin for them both, and said, "What do you think?"

Prue was the first to speak, " You look just like Cathy, just younger."

"Thanks Prue, that means so much to me."

Cathy couldn't speak; she just walked over to Jenny and gave her a big hug, which Jenny never wanted to end. When they did stop though, both Jenny and Cathy had tears running down their faces.

"Jenny we are back together and I never want to lose you again, promise?"

"I promise you, sisters forever."

And with that, they started to hug again, but this time there was a third person in the hug. Jenny had pulled Prue in as well, which made Prue look funny at Jenny.

"Well Prue you do want me as a sister?"

Prue just grinned from ear to ear at the thought of having a family again. She had always treated Cathy like a sister.

"I think having a younger sister to push around, it would be fun."

Jenny and Cathy both started to laugh at Prue's comment.

Michelle came in at this point and said that dinner will be ready in five minutes. Sandra said, "Okay Michelle, we will make our way in to the dinning room now. Come on you three, its time for dinner. Then afterwards, Jenny can show you her room and her vast wardrobe."

All three girls just had big grins on their faces at the thought of this. And then went in to eat dinner. They talked all over dinner and got to know each other again, and Jenny got too know all about Prue. Cathy asked Sandra a lot of questions about why she had helped Jenny become the girl she was inside.

All Sandra said was, "I felt it was the right thing to do in my heart, and I love having three daughters to look after."

As Sandra said this Prue nearly choked on the glass of wine she was drinking.

"You want me to be your daughter as well?"

"Only if you want to be Prue. I don't want you to think I am forcing you to do it."

Cathy looked at Jenny and said, "You really want us to all be sisters don't you?"

"Yes I do. I know about the good that Prue did for you when you nearly took your life. I feel bad for not telling you I was still alive. I was so worried that you wouldn't want to know me any more."

"I could never do that to you Jenny. I love you and in my heart I knew you were still alive and now I know its true."

Prue was just looking at the two of them and a small tear rolled down her face.

Jenny and Cathy got up and walked to Prue and they all started to cry together, and Prue said, "I would love to be part of this family, thank you so much."

Everyone seemed to lose their appetite, so they went back into the living room. Michelle came in with coffee and they all sat and talked for some time. Even Michelle was there drinking coffee. Prue and Cathy thanked Michelle for a lovely meal.

"Jenny, why don't you take Prue and Cathy up to your room and show them what clothes you have?"

"Do you want to see my room?"

Both girls were up before Jenny could finish her sentence, and leaving the room with Jenny being pulled along behind. Jenny got in front of them and led the way to her room. When jenny opened the door Cathy and Prue just stood and looked at the size of the room.

"This is your room?"

"Yes it is, I know it's not very big but it will do."

Jenny started to laugh as she said it, and Cathy and Prue joined in as well.

Jenny showed them to the walk in wardrobe, and let them have a look around at all the clothes in there.

Cathy was the first to speak, "You have so much here. Have you worn any of it yet?"

"No I haven't worn much of it at all. I haven't had anywhere to go in it yet. In fact, I was hoping that you and Prue would help me get more."

Cathy and Prue said that they would love to take Jenny shopping, and all the other things she wanted to do. Prue started to look at the clothes.

"Can I try some on please?" she asked.

Jenny said, "Please do, we are the same size, I think."

Prue didn't need telling twice she started to remove her clothes and Cathy did the same. All three girls spent the next three hours trying on the clothes in there.

They were all sat on the bed in their underwear when there was a knock at the door. It was Sandra coming to see if they were all ok. Jenny was the first to answer, "Yes its great to have my sisters back with me."

Prue looked shocked, to hear someone call her sister, but the smile that came just after said it all.

"Can I get you girls something to drink?"

All three girls said yes at the same time.

Sandra said, "I will get Michelle to bring you up some juice, and some snacks to nibble on."

And with that she left the room with a smile on her face.

Cathy said, "She is such a great person. I can't believe what she has done for you, and for me and Prue."

"Yes I know, I wish I could do something for her."

"You can. Prue and me will help you think of something. What would you like to do for her?"

"I don't know, she has money and I want it to be special to her for all she has done for me."

"Prue and me owe her a lot as well so we can all join in and do something really special, something that she won't expect."

Jenny smiled and knew that every thing would be great from now on. Having her sister back and a new sister as well made Jenny feel happier than she had felt in a long time. There was a knock on the door and Michelle came in with a tray of drinks and some snacks.

"Thanks Michelle, would you like to stop and talk for a bit?"

"I would love to Jenny but it's past my bed time, but thanks anyway." And with that Michelle left the room.

Cathy said, "This is like a slumber party. Do you think we should put how night gowns on?"

"What is a slumber party?" asked Jenny.

"A slumber party is when girls sleep together overnight and play games and talk, and paint each other's nails and other stuff like that. Just like you, me, and Cathy are doing now."

So all three girls got into their nightgowns and sat on the bed and talked some more. It was really late when Jenny finally said it was time she got some sleep. Cathy and Prue were tired as well, so they all got in Jenny's bed and fell asleep all snuggled together.

Sandra looked in on the girls some time later and was happy to see all three asleep. She left the room and went to bed herself to be ready for a busy day tomorrow.

Jenny had strange dreams that night, but she was happy to know that Cathy and Prue were there for her. When Jenny woke the next morning, she found that she was lying between Cathy and Prue. Jenny opened her eyes and found she was looking right at Cathy. To make sure she was not dreaming, she pinched Cathy; Cathy let out a big scream and opened her eyes. When she saw the look on Jenny's face she knew what had happened. Jenny started to laugh.

Cathy asked, "Why did you pinch me?"

"I wanted to make sure I wasn't dreaming, so I pinched you." then she started to laugh even more.

"You're supposed to pinch yourself, not someone else, silly."

"Pinching you is more fun though, and I wanted to talk some more with you."

"I can do more than talk to you, I can do this," and with that Cathy grabbed a pillow and started to hit Jenny with it. Prue was just waking up when she got hit with a bad shot from Cathy. Before Cathy could say sorry, Jenny hit her back. Jenny turned to look at Prue and just as she did she got hit in the face and knocked of the bed. Cathy and Prue jumped of the bed to make sure Jenny was okay. Jenny was not moving and Prue was getting worried.

"Jenny, Jenny are you okay? Cathy what have I done to her?"

At that point they heard Jenny start to laugh.

Cathy said, "Don't do that to me again Jenny! I was worried that you were really hurt, and Prue is in shock I think."

Jenny looked at Prue and saw she was looking worried.

"Sorry Prue, I didn't mean to scare you. I was just having fun with you both."

Cathy helped Jenny up of the floor and Prue came over and hugged Jenny and just said, "Sorry I didn't mean to knock you of the bed. I didn't hurt you did I?"

"No I have extra padding back there now."

All three of them started to laugh at this comment, and Cathy just said, "You have a lot of extra padding back there now."

Jenny went "huh" and put her nose in the air and started to walk of to the bathroom. As she looked back at Cathy and Prue, they were both laughing.

Jenny went in to the bathroom and started to run a bath. When it was done, Jenny got in and then Cathy and Prue came in and looked at Jenny.

"Got room for two more in there?"

"Yep come on in the water is great."

Cathy and Prue got undressed and stepped in. The bath was big and there was lots of room to move even with three in it. Jenny was just starting to wash her hair when Prue stopped her.

"Can I wash it for you?"

"Yes if you don't mind."

Prue started to wash her hair for her, and then she did the same with Cathy. When she had finished with Cathy's hair, Cathy started on Prue's hair. When they were all clean, they clambered out and went into the bedroom to get dressed and then headed down for breakfast.

Sandra was already down stairs having some toast.

"Good morning ladies, did you sleep well?"

"Yes thanks mum. What's for breakfast? I'm so hungry."

"Just tell Michelle what you want and she will see if she can do it for you."

At that point, Michelle came out and asked what they all wanted. Prue had some toast, and Cathy had bacon and eggs with Jenny. When they had done, Cathy turned to Sandra and asked if they could take me shopping. She also wanted to go to the house, so she could pick something up for me that she had been keeping for some time. Jenny looked at Sandra waiting for her to say no. But she got a shock when she replied that it was okay, and she even said it would do me good to get out with someone closer to my own age.

Jenny didn't know what to say. So Cathy spoke for her, "We can have her back tonight or she can stop over at our house, if that is okay?"

"It will be fine for Jenny to stop with you at your place. I don't expect you to drive all the way back tonight."

With that said, Jenny went up to her room with Cathy and Prue, to start some packing. When they were ready to go, Sandra called for the driver to bring the car around to the front of the house. Jenny had never been in a limousine before and she was very excited about it. Cathy and Prue were excited as well, but having been driven all the way down in it they knew what to expect.

As the driver put the bags in the boot of the car, Jenny said her good byes to Sandra and Michelle. This would be her first time away from Sandra in a long time, and it felt like she was leaving for good. Even though she would be back by dinnertime tomorrow. With the goodbyes said, she got in the car and they were on their way to Cathy's home.

Jenny was asking Cathy and Prue questions all the way to the house. She wanted to know all about the time they were apart and Prue and Cathy was happy to tell all. As the car pulled into the drive, the chauffeur must have pushed some button, because the gates started to open. The car came to a stop in front of the house and the driver let them out. All three girls went to the back of the car and waited to get the bags. But the driver told them he would bring them in to the house for them.

When they got in the house, Prue showed Jenny around, while Cathy went to get the gift she had for her sister. Jenny was in love with the house and wanted to live there with Cathy and Prue from the minute she walked in the front door.

Jenny and Prue had just walked in to the kitchen when Cathy walked in with the bag, and gave it to Jenny.

"What is it Cathy, and how did you know I would be coming here to get it?"

"Open it silly and you will know what it is. I am so looking forward to seeing what you look like in it."

The bag looked like one she had seen before, but she couldn't think where. So she started to open it and as she did she knew what it was and she wanted to cry.

"Cathy, this is the dress I tried on in the shop, the day we went shopping. Did you buy me this on that day?"

"Yes I did, I felt bad for not seeing you in it so I thought I would buy it for you. I just never got chance to give it to you."

"Can I go and try it on for you now? Please!"

]"That would be great. Just shout if you need any assistance and I will come in and help."

Jenny thought for a minute and then she grabbed Prue's arm and took her in the bedroom with her.

"I don't want Cathy to see the dress until I am wearing it."

"That is so sweet, and I know she will start crying when she sees you in it."

Jenny got her clothes of and started to put on the new dress. It was a lot tighter now, than when she tried it on in the shop, but Prue said, "it looked much better now."

"How do you know what it looked like before?"

"I saw you in the shop and Cathy told me not to say anything. She was talking to me when you came out. I saw you but she didn't."

When Jenny had the dress on, she asked Prue what she thought.

"You look really good, and I see nothing, but girl."

Jenny didn't know how to take that, but she did know what Prue meant.

Jenny waited for Prue to go in to the kitchen and put her hands over Cathy's eyes and call for her to come in. When She heard Prue's call, she walked in to the kitchen and saw Prue standing behind Cathy with her hands over her eyes. She stood there and Prue removed her hands and let Cathy see the dress.

"Well, how do I look sis?"

Cathy was lost for words, but the look on her face said it all. She just walked over to where Jenny was, and gave her a hug and said, "you look great sister."

When Cathy let go, she had tears running down her face.

"Let me freshen up and we will go out and do some shopping. I have an idea what we can do, to thank Sandra."

"Really Cathy? What is it?"

Cathy just smiled with a look Jenny hated, because she knew that Cathy wasn't going to tell.

"Cathy please tell me what you have in mind for Sandra?"

"Okay, Prue and I have a friend in college that works at a photo studio, and I was thinking that we could have a framed photo of all three of us taken for her. What do you think?"

"That sounds great. I never would of thought of something like that."

Cathy went in to the bathroom and sorted her makeup out and then she was ready to go shopping. Jenny had a big grin on her face; she was going shopping with her sisters for the first time. Prue looked at Jenny anxiously and asked if she was okay.

"Yes I am fine. I'm really happy to be going shopping with you two. I've dreamed of doing it for so long now." And with that, Prue held Jenny's hand as they walked down to the car.

Cathy zapped the alarm and the doors unlocked. Prue then opened the door and got in the back so Jenny could sit in the front with Cathy.

"This is a nice car Cathy, do you like it a lot?"

"It's not bad, but I've had better." and with saying that, Cathy started to laugh, Prue just said, "Yes it's a real drag driving a nice car."

By this time they were all laughing. Cathy backed out of the garage, and drove down the drive to the gate, and asked Jenny to push the button on the remote. Jenny pushed the button, grinning as the gates opened and when they were out, Cathy told Jenny to push it again. The gates shut and then Cathy pulled out and drove down the road and into town.

"Where are we going first?"

"First, we will find some nice dresses to wear, and then we will go and see Terry. She is the friend that I know at the photo studio."

When they got to the mall. Cathy parked the car and they started looking for some dresses that they all liked. They went from shop to shop and none of them looked right for what they wanted. They were just about to give up when Prue saw a bridle shop and said, "Why don't we look in there? They must have some really nice dresses, and we don't want to keep them do we?"

So all three girls went in to the shop and started to look for the right dresses for the photo shoot. They wanted all the dresses in the shop, but they found three that looked the same. With the dresses packed in boxes they left the shop and went to the studio, to see Terry.

"Will your friend Terry be here?"

"Yes, I rang her from home to make sure she would be. She has all the stuff ready for us to do the shoot."

Cathy stopped the car in front of a really old looking building and told Jenny to get out.

"This is the place, I know it looks run down, but they do some really good work here."

Cathy walked up to the front door and knocked, it took some time for anyone to answer it. When they did it was a very pretty looking young girl with long blond hair, and she was wearing jeans and a T-shirt.

"Hi Cathy, how have you been? It was nice to hear from you."

"I'm fine thanks, I'm so glad you can do this for us at such short notice."

"Glad to help, do you have your dresses sorted out for the shoot?"

"Yes, we found some really nice ones to wear for the shoot."

Terry took them to the studio, and then showed them to the room were they could get changed. Prue and Cathy started to get Jenny ready first. They told her to get undressed; when she was naked, apart from her panties they got out the corset and started to put it on her. Jenny was used to wearing them by now so she didn't mind at all, with that on. Prue got the dress out and put it over her head. It was like a ball gown and it was so nice that Jenny had to smile. Cathy tugged and pulled at it and Prue did the same till it was in place and the Prue zipped it up at the back. Prue and Cathy stepped back and looked at Jenny and they both smiled and said, "You look fantastic Jenny, and I know Sandra will love the photos."

Jenny felt great, she really felt like a princess, she spun in the dress and it flared out. The body of the dress was tight and forced her chest up and out, which she didn't mind.

Prue and Cathy had Jenny help them to get their own dresses on and when they were all ready, they went to find Terry. She was setting up the room for the shoot, when she saw the three girls walk in she was lost for words at first.

"You three look really good. It must of cost quite a lot for those dresses?"

"They weren't cheap, but it's for a good cause. We want to do a picture for a special person; we want all three of us in it. Can you do that okay?"

"Yes, no problem, I will take some of you all on your own as well, if that is okay with you?"

"Yes, that's great."

Terry told them where to stand and she started to take the shot's and after what seemed to be days, but was only two hours, she was done.

Cathy asked Terry, "How long it would take to sort out the main picture, and get it put in a frame?"

"I have a friend that will do it today for you, but he's not cheap."

"You do? That will be great. So can I call around in the morning to pick it up then?"

"Yes, I will take it home with me so you can get it from there."

Cathy gave Terry a hug and said, "thanks, and I owe you one for this."

The three of them got changed and went to the car, after everyone had said goodbye to Terry, they put the boxes in the boot of the car and got in and started to drive home.

When they got back to the house, Cathy asked if they were hungry.

Prue asked, "When am I not hungry?"

All Cathy did, was laugh, so Jenny just thought it must be a permanent state for her.

Cathy asked if pizza was okay for them. Jenny loving pizza and not having it for some time shouted, "Yes please."

This made Cathy and Prue jump. All Jenny could do was laugh.

As the night went on, Jenny felt more and more at home with Cathy and Prue. The pizza came and Jenny loved it, she had to stop her self from eating too much of it.

Jenny turned to Cathy and asked if she could call Sandra and tell her she was fine.

"Yes please do, you know where the phone is?"

"I'll use the one in the kitchen."

Jenny rang Sandra and spoke for nearly an hour. Telling her about the shopping and the fun she was having with her sisters. She also said that she missed Sandra. It felt strange not having her around, Jenny finished the call without saying anything about the pictures they had taken. When Jenny got back to where Cathy and Prue were, she was feeling really tired.

"Cathy? Where am I sleeping tonight? I am feeling really tired."

"You can have my bed, I will sleep in the spare room."

"Can't we share? I don't mind if you don't. I don't really want to sleep alone."

"Fine with me, I was hoping you wanted to do that, but I didn't want to force you to do it. Just let me get rid of this pizza, and we will go to bed."

Cathy took the empty pizza box and dropped it into a bin, then showed Jenny her room. Prue looked sad at the thought of not being with Cathy and Jenny. Prue was just about to go in to her room, when Jenny pulled her in to Cathy's room.

"Where do you think your going sis, I want to be close to both of you."

Prue was giggling when Jenny let go, and Prue just fell on the bed. All three girls got ready for bed, when Cathy got in. Jenny was in the middle again and felt safe. It didn't take long for all three to fall asleep. Jenny was beginning to like sleeping with Cathy and Prue, and when she woke the next morning, she found she was the only one left in bed.

Jenny put on the dressing gown and walked out into the kitchen. Cathy and Prue were sat drinking Coffee, when Jenny walked in.

"Morning sleepy head, did you sleep well?"

"Yes thanks, how long have you two been up?"

"Not long, do you want some coffee, and some breakfast?"

"Yes please, I'll have some toast please."

"Toast coming right up, do you want some bacon, and egg as well?"

"Only if you're doing some for your self. I don't want you treating me special."

Cathy just walked over to Jenny and hugged her, then said, "You're my sister, and your very special to me."

Jenny felt so happy to have Cathy hugging her she started to cry.

"Hey sis, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just really happy to have you back in my life. I missed you so much Cathy, and I wanted to be with you every minute we were apart."

And with that, they hugged some more. Prue was feeling left out so she joined in the hug. When they stopped, Cathy got up and finished making breakfast.

"What time will the picture be ready to pick up?"

"About ten o'clock. I'll ring Terry first, to make sure it's finished."

Jenny sat there with a grin on her face; she knew that Sandra would love the picture. When they had finished, Cathy told Jenny to get ready, as they would be going back to Sandra's when they've picked up the picture.

Jenny was in the bedroom when Prue came in, and started to give Jenny pointers on how to get the right look for the clothes she was wearing. When Cathy came in, Jenny looked great. Prue was just finishing doing her makeup, so Cathy went and got ready.

Jenny and Prue were sitting in the kitchen when Cathy walked in with her head tilted to one side, trying to put in an earring.

"I've rung Terry, and the picture is ready. So if you're both ready, we can get going?"

Jenny was the first up, and off out the door. Cathy had to shout to get her back to get her bag. With the bags in the boot they went to Terry's to get the picture.

When they got there, Terry was waiting for them outside by a battered old car, which Jenny thought must be hers.

Terry waved to them as they pulled up. While Cathy got out, Jenny and Prue waited in the car. Cathy started to wave them to come over so they did. When they looked in the boot of Terry's car, they saw the picture of all three of them. It looked fantastic and much bigger than they thought it would be.

"Cathy will it fit in the boot of the car, or will we have to put it on the back seat with Prue?"

"It should fit in the boot."

They had to put some of the bags out the boot on the back seat, but the picture went in. Jenny went over to Terry and said, thanks. She gave Terry a hug, and Terry gave her one back.

"Glad I could help out, and if you need any more Photo's taking, give me a call."

Jenny smiled and then said, "I will get Sandra, my mum, to hire you for all the photo's she wants taking."

Terry smiled and Jenny was sure she saw Pound signs in her eyes.

With the picture packed, they were on their way back to Sandra's. The drive back, took an hour, and when they pulled up outside the house, Sandra ran out to greet them, followed by Michelle. Jenny was the first out the car, and by the way she hugged Sandra. It was obvious that they had missed each other a lot.

"Did you have a good time Jenny? I missed you. And Michelle did too."

Jenny gave Michelle a hug and then went to help Cathy and Prue with the bags. Cathy told Jenny to take Sandra in the house and she and Prue would bring in the picture.

Jenny took Sandra in to the living room and told her to sit down. Sandra was looking worried.

"Don't look so worried, I have a present for you. Well we all do, its our way of saying thanks for all you have done for us."

Cathy and Prue had carried in the picture and stood it on the floor. It was still covered up so Sandra couldn't see what it was. Jenny stepped back so she was standing next to Cathy and Prue. Cathy told Jenny that she should uncover the picture, so she did. The look on Sandra's face said it all, she sat there with tears in her eyes. Then she got up and walked over to where the girls were stood and hugged all three at the same time.

"I love it so much! It must of cost a lot of money."

"Not really, Cathy has a friend that does this for a living, she sorted it all. I'm glad you like it."

"It's the best present I've ever had. Thank you so much. Now I have a picture of my three daughters to put up on the wall."

With all the hugs out the way, Sandra asked if they were hungry. All three girls said yes, so Michelle went to the kitchen to sort out some food.

Some time later, Jenny was sat at the dinner table. She was looking at Cathy and Prue; she knew how lucky she was to have them both. She was the luckiest girl in the world to have such a great mum.

Jenny smiled, not knowing what the future would hold for her, but she knew that she had her sisters to help her through it and the love of her mum.

The end (or the beginning)
