After a few weeks things has settled down. Colette has managed to keep her mother's spirits high and kept peter away. Cara had no time for his excuses nor did she wish to hear them, despite carrying his baby Carla was determined not to let him get back in the only contact she had with his was in regards to their baby, which he had already let down.

Colette had got on well a weatherfeild high and was friends with Bethany Platt, she had not long started after Colette and the two along with Michelle had noticed how Carla and nick seemed so comfortable with each other.

Talking of lovers peters hurt turned into anger and he thrived for revenge from Colette for telling Carla about him and Tina rather than keeping her mouth shut.

It was the middle of April and Carla and Colette wanted to do something for Michelle birthday on the 21st. "hey it'll be the first time you get to see your aunt Michelle let her heir down properly" Carla said cuddling up to Colette on the sofa. As Carla and nick were good friends they had arranged a little do in there because Michelle would be sick of the rovers. "It will wont it? What are you getting her for her birthday mum?" Colette needed some ideas and fast. "I was thinking between, designer bags and matching shoes, or maybe… that Elizabeth Taylor necklace... you know the one with the diamond heat pendant?" she said explaining the necklace they had seen in the jewellers a few weeks ago. "Mum that was so expensive!" Colette gasped remembering the price. "ahh, you see price isn't a problem for me love, especially with michelle, anything she wants she gets because she deserves it for the way she put up with me for the past god know how long"

Colette couldn't help but laugh at her mum and how cute she was. She admired Michelle because she had heard so many stories and how her mum and Michelle helped each other through things. She could help but wish when her sister was born they would have a similar relationship.

The days flew by and it was Michelle's birthday. It had got to about 7pm and everyone was in the bistro including Michelle. Carla handed her a box. Only a small one but she knew Michelle would love opened it unsure of what it could be when she opened the box a smile spread across her face. "car-"she began but Carla interrupted "chell, it's your birthday and I knew you'd love it" michelle was speechless. "I do Carla thank you!" she said hugging Carla tightly. By this point Carla's bump was surprising small for how far gone she was but Carla didn't mind as long as her baby was health.

Carla turned to Colette "you ready to give chelle your gift?" Carla said smiling at her daughter. Colette looked worried and took Carla to one side "what if she doesn't like it mum?" Carla took note of her daughter's hands that were beginning to shake. "Listen love, she will love it go one "she said with a wink. That was all the encouragement she needed. She went to the stage that had been set up and spoke to the dj. Nick was fiddling with the computer and everyone had now gone to their seats. Michelle was confused but Steve (who was in n the act) assured her everything was fine as they sat at a table with Carla.

It was as if everything had stood still. There wasn't a word until Colette spoke into the microphone looking at her bewildered aunt. "Don't look so worried auntie chell…." She began but a slide show of photos of Michelle throughout the years made Michelle chuckle she looked at Carla when one picture came up. It was the two of them as teenagers not long after Colette had been born a tear slid down Michelle's cheek and Carla took her hand. Now music began to play and Michelle got even more confused. "It's one is quiet self-explanatory "Colette said while being handed a guitar by nick. She began to play a song called yes this one's for you by Lucy spraggan.

"Vivid dreams of the you I don't know yet
so amazing and I'll never forget
you're the one for me.
I felt so safe where I should be
the best damn night with the one of my dreams, literally."

Michelle began to well up not only at Colette's voice but the meaning behind the song. She knew it well. Carla hadn't heard her daughter preform before but had seen the lyrics around the house, she too began to let tears slide down her face.

"And you're the one that I need
You're the air that I breathe
You're the only one that I want to rely on
You're that beat in my heart
I'm a shot in the dark
You're the only one to turn the light on
You're the one that I need
You're the air that I breathe
You're the only one that I want to rely on
You're that beat in my heart
I'm a shot in the dark
You're the only one to turn the light on

You're the one that I see, you're the wind in the trees
You're the smile that could light up the darkest day
You're the one in my dreams, and I guess that it seems
That that is all I would like to say."

When the music stopped Michelle ran up to the stage and hugged Colette so tight she couldn't breathe "killing me her chell!" she joked "that was amazing thank you!" they returned to the table where Carla was now sat in-between Colette and Michelle "col. I didn't know you were that talented!" Colette just smiled "well mum, you have a lot to learn "she said grinning.
