Since Amy had first been up in the North Tower she had loved coming here. It was the amazing views that Amy really loved, they were just amazing.
Sighing she leaned on the window sill and gazed out at the sun, just managing to come out behind all the clouds.
She had had a lot on her mind recently, and had removed herself from a lot of people to think things through.
The little news from her dad had taken Amy by suprise. She had not received word from him in absoloutly ages and Amy was worried by his silence. Amy had been worried about leaving him in the first place, she hadn't wanted to, but then Callum had reassured her that he would keep an eye on him for her, and keep her updated. But now it was almost like Callum had let her down too. He had given her no reassurance about her father when she very clearly needed it, as she had indicated in her last letter to him.
Amy was completely lost in thought and was therefore suprised when she saw an owl flying steadily towards her. Moving back to give it a clear landing spot on the window sill she supposed it must be for her. As it landed, it hooted quietly at her and she moved forward to obtain the letter. When Amy had removed it, she gasped, then smiled. The handwriting on the front was that of her fathers, and the letter itself seemed rather heavy.
She sat herself down on the floor, tore it open, and began to read.
At this point in the letter Amy stopped. Her breathing had become shallow and she didn't know if she wanted to read on. What could her father possibly want to tell her of this great importance. Thoughts whirled through her head, bad ones at that. She stared at the floor and knew the only was to reassure herself would be by reading on. Taking a deep breath she looked down at the letter and read on...
Amy finished reading and was in complete shock. She had cried a little at the mention of her mother. Her hand shook as she re-read the letter. She saw the tear stains where her dad had obviously broken down. Her dad had a son, she Amy had a brother. She didn't know what to think, but all of a sudden her face broke out into a smile. She was not worried about the fact that her dad had loved someone else previously. She knew her father loved her mother while they were together and it was almost as if this letter had brought her and her father together again. She didn't know what to think. She had a brother! This was the thought that kept going round and round in Amys head. She sat there in numb, happy disbelief, listening to the birds, as they sang in the morning sun.

Amy,
I'm so sorry my love for not writing to you sooner. I know it must have worried you, but, well I've had a lot on my mind, and a lot of work to do.
I know I should be asking you about school and your friends but there is something I must tell you.
I do not know how to tell you this, or how you will react but please, bear with me

How to start this is the question.
Amy my love, there is something I've been keeping from you for many years. Before I met your mother, there was another person in my life. Her name was Sarah. I loved her dearly, she was a great part of my life. We had been together for a long time when she discovered that she was going to have a baby, my baby. Naturally I was overjoyed, and could not wait to be a father. But there was a complication, Sarah died giving birth to our baby boy. I was distraught, completely and utterly devastated. I felt that the world had come to an end, and all I had left to remember my Sarah was this precious little boy. However when her family found out she had died they, they, they blamed me Amy. I don't know why but they did. They had never liked me, and never accepted me, they thought I wasn't worthy enough for their Sarah as I was only a simple Doctor back then. To them it was not good enough, and the hours I worked disgusted them.
They thought it would be best for the baby if, if they took him away. They took him away from me, telling me I didn't have time and it was in my best interests. I held him only once before they took him from me.
I thought my world had ended, I thought I could never find anyone again. But I did. I found your mother. She was like a breath of fresh air. She showed me I could love again. I told her about Sarah and about the baby, and she was so understanding. I loved her truley, and I always will Amy. I will always love your mother Amy, I never will stop loving her.
I understand if what I have told you is a complete shock and that you feel I have kept this from you for too long. And I have Amy, I thought you would never forgive me for not telling you.
But something happened my darling. My baby boy found me. He managed to contact me, only a couple of weeks ago. I was completely stunned, i felt like, I felt so happy.
He is of course your half brother Amy. You have a brother. I've told him so much about you and he so wants to meet you.
His name is Charlie, and he lives in Australia! Australia Amy! Thats just by where you are!! He's dying to meet you and I dying to meet him!
I know this is a lot of information to process my darling, but I felt you should know, you have every right to know. I just want you to know that I will always love you, and I never will stop.
I love you with all my heart
Yours forever
Your dad
