Thank you for the reviews! They really do make me smile and I'm glad that you're enjoying the story!
Rachel drove Poppy back to the house she lived in with Chris and Jessica. A small lady with curly grey hair answered the door. Poppy knew that she was Sophie's Grandma. "Oh, pet. It's going to be okay," the lady said when she saw Poppy's tear stained eyes. "Chris called me and asked me to wash and iron some of your clothes. They're sitting on your bed, waiting for you."
"Thanks," Poppy whispered as she made her way upstairs. Rachel followed Poppy upstairs to help her pack her things. She knew that it didn't look like Jessica would wake up soon and would probably be hospitalised after waking anyway. Poppy could be with her for a long time.
Poppy opened the door to her room, although it didn't feel like the happy room she was used to. She used to be so proud of the way she had decorated her room, pink with white circles, but now it seemed irrelevant. "This is a pretty room," Rachel remarked. "We can paint your new room at my house the same way, if you wanted." Poppy shrugged her shoulders. "Come on then, let's get you packed up." Poppy pulled two suitcases out from underneath her bed and began packing her things. She didn't know what she'd need, she didn't know how long she'd be away.
Rachel and Poppy managed to pack up most of Poppy's things quickly and before long they were arriving back at Rachel's house. Olivia and Madi came out to help bring Poppy's things inside. It had began to rain and they wanted to get the job done before the heavens opened. "Lauren had to go home, Mum but Madi stayed" Olivia said.
"Okay, Poppy's things are in the boot."
The girls quickly brought Poppy's things inside and took them up to, what would be, her new room. Rachel took Poppy upstairs to her new room. It was painted white and fitted with white furniture. Long white curtains hung down to the floor at the bay window, opposite the door. To the right of the door was a comfy looking bed with white shelves further along the wall. On the wall to the far right there was a white dressing table with a large oval mirror. "What do you think?" Rachel asked.
"Wow! It's lovely!" Poppy replied. "One question, where's the wardrobe?"
"That's the best part!" Olivia piped in as she headed to a door on the wall to the left of the door. "Come here, Poppy." Poppy walked over to the door as Olivia opened it. A walk in wardrobe! "We all have a walk in wardrobe, Poppy. And this one is yours!"
"Thank you!" Poppy said.
"You're welcome!" Rachel said. "Now come on, let's get your things unpacked!"
While Poppy was unpacking and chatting happily to the others, she kept thinking about the new place she was in. It was a world away to her life with her dad, or with Katie and Mark or Chris and Jessica. It was new and different. She was wondering when Jessica would wake up, and would she be allowed to see her?
