A Christmas To Remember
Chapter 14: Christmas!! (Huh?)
Tailor woke up to the sound of someone moving on her left side. She turned her head trying to focus her eyes on the person who stood next to her. It wasn't a human, which could mean one thing.
"M - Mikey?" Tailor's mouth felt dry and her voice came out in a whisper.
"No . . . It's me . . ."
"Raph?" Tailor focused her eyes on the turtle sitting beside her. She looked around herself and saw the fussy outline of a bed. "W - where . . ."
"You're at April's", Raph answered before she could finish off her sentence. "In your own bed"
Slowly, her vision started to come back. Tailor attempted to lift herself up into a sitting position.
"Hey, take it easy", Raph helped her into a sitting position and sat down on the end of the bed.
"H - how long have I been out?"
Raph sighed and looked at the bed duvet cover. "6 days".
"6 days!! What!! That would make it -."
"Christmas, I know", Raph looked at her with sad eyes. "I'm sorry, there was nothing we could do to wake you up earlier, you was totally out of it".
"Of course I was out of it! Scott drugged my drink!"
"How did you know that?"
Tailor sighed. "Pretty obvious, I drank no alcohol or anything and I thought Scott looked weird when I drank that lemonade, what else could it have been?"
Raph knew that was a rhetorical question so he didn't answer.
Tailor looked at him. "Some Christmas this is. I missed it. Well . . . where's April?"
Raph nodded to the floor. "Downstairs".
"I better go and see her". Tailor quickly got up and put her weight on her feet. A wave of pain ran through her right side and she cried out in pain. She slumped back on the bed and looked at her foot. It was perfectly bandaged up. "Who taped me up?"
"Donnie", Raph replied, "at first he thought you had broken it because of the swelling, but you've badly sprained it, it should be ok, but according to Donnie you shouldn't put any weight on it yet".
Tailor rolled her eyes. "Great", she said sarcastically. "You want me to go downstairs in a wheelchair?"
"Very funny", Raph said, "I better carry you, unless you want me to push you down the stairs?"
"I'll pass on that option . . . wait . . ." Tailor looked at her old pair of blue jeans and white, baggy t-shirt she was wearing. She looked at Raph. ". . . Who . . . Where is . . . Who did . . .?"
Raph smiled and shook his head. "April".
Tailor gave him a small smile and nodded. "Glad April changed my clothes, those trousers were itchy . . . think I'm allergic . . . but . . . how did I get here?"
"I brought you here . . . I was going to April's and I fount you outside . . . I thought you were dead . . . But . . . I'll tell ya more later . . . come on, as you WILL waste your Christmas".
"I think I've wasted it", Tailor said with sadness in her voice.
"I don't think so . . . It's only 7:00 in the morning". Raph got up and walked over to her, he lifted her up and walked out of the already opened door.

"Tailor!" April rushed over to where Raph had laid Tailor on the sofa. All the other guys were sitting on April's living room floor with shocked faces when Tailor came in. April grabbed her niece tightly and kissed her cheek. "I thought I had lost you . . . Are you ok? . . . Does your leg still hurt? . . . Want me to get you some tablets? . . . Are you -."
"April!" Tailor smiled. "I'm fine . . . Just glad to be awake for Christmas".
April smiled and nodded. She walked over to the kitchen and clicked on the kettle for Tailor's cup of tea.
"Yo Tailor!" Mikey walked over to Tailor and lifted his hand. She slapped him a high-five and smiled.
Donnie, Leo and Splinter each took it in turns to give Tailor their hugs and relief that she was awake.
"April?" Tailor asked when everyone was sat down on the floor. "Have you got my mobile? I think I might have had a few messages and Elliot would be back by now".
April smiled and grabbed the 3310 off the counter. She handed it to Tailor and went back in the kitchen section when the kettle clicked.
Tailor looked at her phone and sighed. 3 new messages. She opened the first one and smiled. It was from Emma. The guys watched her as she read them.
'Hey, glad you could make it to my party! I'll miss you when you go back, which is, New Year or something? Oh well, text me back when you find out. Luv Emma xx'.
Tailor opened the next one.
'Hey Tailor! Had a great time at the party! Text me when you're going back, ok? Luv Garth x'.
And finally the last one.
'Hey! I'm back! Sorry I came back later but I couldn't help it. Our holiday was extended. Forgive me? Please! Anyway, text me when you get this message. (I know you're probably not up yet). Luv Elliot xxx'.
Tailor frowned, confused and looked at the date the message was sent. 25th December. Weird. Elliot must have stayed till today, which was a relief. Then she didn't have to think up excuses for being out for 6 days. She quickly sent him a message saying she was up and that he could come round later on.
She got a text back saying 'sure, about 6:00, bye'. Tailor asked April if that was ok and she said yes. Tailor sent a text back to Elliot saying she'd see him later and turned her phone off. She swapped her phone with April for a cup of tea.
"I'll get you something to eat", April said, going back into the kitchen.
Tailor smiled. She had forgotten how hungry she was. And why wouldn't she be? She hadn't had anything to eat or drink for 6 days!
"You ok, my child?" Splinter asked her when they were all settled down with tea and sandwiches.
"Fine", Tailor nodded and tucked into her sandwich, surprised at herself that she didn't eat it in one gulp. "I'm kind of glad I was knocked out till Christmas . . . saved me waiting".
Splinter smiled and nodded. Just like Mikey . . . putting a positive side to things. "Let's hope, that you will be fully recovered soon".
"Yeah!" Mikey chipped in. "And speaking of which . . ." He grabbed his game console that he had brought round with him. ". . . want to finish where we left off on Sonic?"
Tailor laughed. "Sure Mikey".

Later on Tailor and Mikey were in head-to-head with the game. Tailor was still lying on the sofa, her feet on Raph and Donnie's laps, who were sitting at the end of the soda. Leo was sitting on a stool. Splinter in April's armchair. And Mikey and April on the floor.
They spent an hour playing on the game until Mikey won and then they decided to give presents.
Since the guys didn't have money, April gave them presents. They echoed thank you's at her and she smiled. Mikey was the first to dig into his present.
"Aww cool! 'Sonic The Hedgehog 2'! Thanks April!" He hugged April tightly and planted a kiss on her cheek. Tailor smiled and watched Donnie open his. He nearly fainted.
"You . . . I . . . This must have been . . . Wow". That's all he managed to get out. April smiled and shrugged.
"Don't worry Donnie, I didn't burn a hole in my bank account".
Donnie looked at the small, new computer April had given him. He was totally shocked. A computer! How did April afford this? All he could do was hug her and thank her loads.
Leo opened his next. It was a book based on Japanese language and also April had given him a special cleaning kit for his sword. Leo smiled and hugged April, saying his thanks.
Raph opened his present and smiled to himself. April had given him two, brand new sais and told him it was in case his others had disappeared, since he got into quite a few fights. This brought a laugh from Tailor and also smiles from his family. But what Raph was smiling at was the book she gave him . . . On anger therapy.
"Very funny", Raph said, rolling his eyes and holding the book up.
Tailor looked at it and laugh. Mikey also laughed and Leo and Donnie tried not to. It received a chuckle from Splinter and an innocent look from April.
"I thought it might give you a few pointers", April said, smiling.
Tailor smiled and shook her head. "Wouldn't a punching bag have been more appropriate?"
April just shook her head and grabbed another present from under the Christmas tree. She handed it to Tailor and smiled.
"From you're father, it arrived in the post".
Tailor nodded and unwrapped the silver wrapping paper of the small box. She opened what she could tell was a jewellery box and smiled. Inside was a doll chain. A gold doll that was moveable and it dangled from a long, gold chain. It was diamonds in the jacket of it. Tailor showed it from the others and Mikey let out a long whistle.
"Cooooool", he said.
Tailor smiled and took it out of its box. She wrapped the chain round her neck and smiled. It looked great.
"Brilliant", April said, nodding. She handed Tailor a present off herself. It was a tiny box. She sat back down on the floor.
"Thanks April", Tailor grinned at her. "I'm afraid I can't give you yours until I've wrapped it", she shrugged at her.
"That's ok".
Tailor opened the present and looked at the small box. She lifted it open and smiled. Inside was a pair of gold earrings. They dangled in three straight, yellow diamonds.
"Thanks April! I would cuddle you but I can't get up".
April smiled and walked over to her niece. She gave Tailor a hug and sat back down. Everyone watched Tailor take out her normal studs and put in her new earrings.
"So", April said when she had finished. "Who's up for dinner?"
"ME!!" Came everyone's reply.

(Sorry this one's short but don't worry more to come! (It would have been weird if I had Christmas day on the 2nd of January or something). Thanks for all the reviews and MERRY CHRISTMAS all! Enjoy it! Oh and Tailor's present . . . It was what mum got me : ) . . . but without the chain . . . hope you all got great pressies! Love ya all! xxx).
