Whoa you lot completely smashed the 150 review mark, this is the most popular chapter like... ever. When I checked my emails about an hour after I put it up I was like WOW when I discovered 5 reviews so thank you guys, that completely made my day.

Information about Cherry, Immy's not going to visit her every chapter because that is boring for both of us so I am just going to mention Immy visiting Cherry but not going into very much detail. BTW thank you NeveB for the baby name and could people please tell me names for the babies and the gender.

I sealed the last envelope, that's all my Christmas cards done. I had already taken Cherry's round to the hospital when I had visited this morning. Not that she's awake but I want her to see when she wakes up.

If she wakes up.

I mentally slapped myself, don't think like that Immy. Cherry will be fine.

I had wrapped everyone's presents, I had visited Elektra and Johnny's flat and talked to them. Well I talked to them after I had had to wait half an hour because they were out at a class teaching them how to care for a baby. Their flat was nice enough and big enough, they had been given a larger flat because of the baby. I had given them their present and cards and headed off quickly because I didn't want to miss the bus. I looked through my remaining cash, I was completely and utterly skint. I ran down to the Office.

"Faye can I borrow..." I started,

"no Immy," she told me,

"ok can I go out?" I asked,

"fine," she said, not even bothering to look at me.

I pulled on the helmet, then my rucksack and then I mounted the bike. I started cycling towards the house of Kitty and Tee's foster parents, after about 20 minutes I was on the right street. I locked my bike to some railings and ran up to the door of number 43, I rang the bell. A moment later a woman opened the door,

"hello are you Mrs McCaffety?" I asked,

"I sure am," she replied, "are you Kitty's friend?" she asked,

"and Tee's," I told her, she smiled and ushered me inside, she lead me into the lounge. Kitty was sitting on the sofa sketching a dress, Tee was reading a magazine while massaging her pregnant stomach.

"Hello people," I cried, both turned to stare at me.

"Imitari Odissey,"

"Kitty Barilo, Theresa Taylor, long time no see,"

"do not call me Theresa, I am Tee Taylor and that's all I'll ever be," she told me, to many this would be an innocent comment but I knew Tee was already declaring – only 14 years old – that she would never get married and change her name because her heart belonged to Tyler. I looked away awkwardly.

"Have you heard the news?" Kitty asked pointing at Tee,

"no..."

"two," she shouted, Tee grinned slightly,

"two what?" I asked, slightly confused.

"Two babies – twins,"

"what the..." I said,

"yep I am having twins and because I am so small they have already planned on giving me a C-Section because it's the safest way of delivery," Tee told me,

"what do Lex and Johnny think?" I asked,

"Lex? Seriously?" Kitty asked,

"Yes Elektra is Lex, deal with it," I told them,

"they are cool with it, but it's gonna be ridiculously expensive," Tee told me,

"so how's Cherry?" Kitty asked,

"still in a coma, I have been visiting her everyday or every other day, she's in a stable condition but..." I trailed off, tears forming in my eyes.

"Immy she's still alive, think of it that way," Tee said softly, "that's something,"

"but for how much longer?" I asked them, the silence of unanswered questions grew. We quickly exchanged presents and cards and I left swiftly.

"Welcome to Baker Street Children's Home," an overly annoying and enthusiastic care worker told me,

"Immy," I heard Rick say,

"not here to visit you mate, you're a tool," I told him and I rushed off upstairs.

"Hello Ellie," I told her, she turned round,

"Ims," she said grinning,

"Merry Christmas,"

"Ims, it's only the 22nd of December, it still isn't Christmas," she told me,

"killjoy," I muttered and I knew she heard by the way she grinned at me, we chatted about various topics and she sensibly avoided the topic of Cherry, I told her about my shopping trip and she couldn't stop laughing when I told her about making Alfie buy me a bra.

After that I visited Mo and then I cycled on and knocked on the next door, nobody was home so I posted the card through the letterbox and cycled to the next house. I knocked on the door. It opened.

"Immy!" Mike exclaimed,

"hello Mike," I said, he hugged me and invited me inside. He led me into the living room and brought me a cup of tea and sat down to talk to me.

"Do you think they will reopen Elmtree House?" I asked, he looked at me sadly,

"the council aren't going to take any action until Cherry wakes up and they will interview her and then they might decide their outcome but until then I am suspended and so is Gina. Neither of us can get any more jobs, I guess it's ok for Gina because she has a family to look after and spend time with but me... I have nothing," he told me, sighing.

"You have us, you have all the people who think of you as their Dad," I told him,

"I guess so but even so,"

"I know what you mean," a silence fell between us, "you know what, come to where we are staying at the moment. Tracy's there, she will approve it, please. Come over for Christmas, please," I begged,

"Immy..."

"I'm calling Tracy," I told him sternly and quickly dialled the number,

"Tracy can Mike come over at Christmas?" I asked,

"I'll have to ask Faye," she said, everything was silent for a minute, "Faye says that's fine." I put the phone down.

"You can come," I told him, Mike looked stunned and hugged me again,

"thank you," he said, i grinned.

Ok Tee's having twins, I haven't decided whether they will be girls or boys or one of each but please review and give me name ideas.
