A/N: I just wanted to give you all a bit of a recap as obviously there has been a large time jump, before I start I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone liking and reviewing my story, even seeing the views go up makes so much of a difference, so thank you so much, I hope your enjoying.

Carla and Lia left Coronation street for a holiday in the June of 2014, however they didn't return to the street until June 2015, so it has now been a time jump of a year. Carla had twin girls who she called Rosie and Ava, they are now 7 months old as they were born in the November in LA. Lia is now 16 (her birthday being December time) and finished her GCSE exams in Devon before returning to the street. Michelle has also had her baby, she had a girl who she called Fia and is now 6 months old as she had her on Christmas Day of 2014. Therefore Michelle and Carla are no longer pregnant as they now have their children who were born in the 'time jump'. As well as this within the 'time jump' Tracy was sentenced with Tina's attempted murder, Peter moved to Portsmouth, Steve and Michelle got engaged and Amy moved in with Steve, Michelle and Liz however still sees Ken and Dierdre regularly. Rob moved into the flat above the shop which he took full ownership of when Tracy was charged , he also manages the factory with the help of Michelle at times.

I hope this clears up any confusion if there is any, again thank you so much

"Lia no," Carla sighed again as she pushed the twins out of the door in the pushchair, the teenager following.

"Mum, come on," Lia whined, "Lucy's mum bought her booze."

"Yeah well I'm your mum not Lucy's mum so your not getting any," Carla explained, "Be lucky your having a party, that's more than my mum would let me."

"Whatever mum, you were drinking from 13. You be lucky I'm asking at 16," Lia rolled her eyes.

"Yeah but lets not pretend alcohol has never passed your lips, with permission or not," Carla said smugly as Lia rolled her eyes in defeat.

Lia spotted Bethany out of the corner of her eye talking to Kylie before she turned to her mum, "Mum I'm just going to speak to Bethany, okay?"

"Right well don't be long cause I don't want Chelle having all three kids on her own for too long, it was good enough of her to look after the girls while I went and caught up with Rob at the factory. Don't leave her at a loss even more," Carla explained as she moved closer to the doors of the pub.

"I won't mum, promise," Lia smiled before taking off down the street towards Dev's, "Have a good day!"

"Bethany!" Lia called down the street to catch her attention as Kylie walked away saying goodbye to her niece.

"Alright?" Bethany asked.

"Yeah any luck with the drink?" Lia asked as Bethany shook her head sighing.

"No, Kylie's the only one that would get some if I asked but she'd only go and tell mum, her and mum are well close at the minute," Bethany explained, "I'd push it but if she told mum, mum wouldn't let me come on Friday, so..."

"No that's fine, don't worry. I'll see if I can get some money from somewhere and just get it from Lucas's brother from the year above," Lia nodded as Bethany agreed, "Right I'm gonna have to get back to help Chelle, but I'll see you later on, yeah?"

"See you later," Bethany smiled at Lia before heading back off in the direction of the Platt's house, Lia in the opposite direction heading towards the Rovers.

"Hiya Liz, you alright?" Lia grinned as she walked through the door to see Liz laying out the beer mats.

"Hiya love, I'm good, you?" Liz smiled at the girl.

"Not too bad, Chelle and Steve in the back?" Lia questioned as Liz nodded.

Lia walked through to the back room and pushed the door open to reveal the three girl attempting to sit up on the play mat, their hands in each others mouths, small giggles escaping as they did so.

"Morning darling, you okay?" Michelle greeted as Steve popped his head around the kitchen door and gave Lia a smile.

"Yeah good, you?" Lia smiled as Michelle nodded.

"Not bad, you not seeing Maisie today?" Michelle asked as Lia took a seat next to her aunt.

"Yeah once mum's finished with Rob at the factory I'm gonna go to town with her and Bethany," Lia explained, "About that, do you have jobs I can do around here?"

"Low on funds are we?" Michelle grinned smugly.

"How did you guess," Lia rolled her eyes.

"Well inheriting your mother's expensive taste must be a hard slog to carry," Michelle scoffed, "Well, I suppose if you collect the empties today and help Sean with the hotpots I'm sure I can find 20 quid somewhere."

"What about the girls though?" Lia asked.

"Well I'm sure I can manage for a couple of hours, your mum won't be that long," Michelle shrugged before smirking, "Plus I'm sure they can't be worse than the mixture of Ryan being a teen and you a toddler."

"Ah! Thank you so much Chelle!" Lia grinned jumping in to hug Michelle.

"Go on then, best go and get started," Michelle smiled as Lia nodded happily and ran off into the front.

A few hours had passed since Carla had dropped the twins off, Lia had been working hard for her money helping Sean and collecting in the empty glasses. Michelle had got Rosie and FIA down to sleep and was only left with Ava awake, by the time Carla and Rob walked in Lia was collecting the 20 off of Michelle.

"What you getting money for?" Carla quizzed as they walked through the door.

"Work," Lia grinned to her mum as Ava began to fuss on Michelle's hip.

"Can you see your mummy," Michelle cooed as she bounced the little girl on her hip and passed her to Carla who grinned happily to see her younger daughter.

"Gorgeous girly," Carla cooed as Lia scowled.

"Excuse me?" Lia huffed.

"And you," Carla rolled her eyes playfully, "Anyway, what work have you been doing, I can't get you to do owt."

"Yeah well if there's money involved," Lia smirked as the adults rolled their eyes.

"How's the factory then?" Michelle asked, "Have you missed it?"

"Of course she has, taking control like she's never been away," Rob teased.

"Well I am the boss," Carla grinned as her phone buzzed.

"So the money for a new party dress by any chance," Rob asked as Lia nodded.

"Yeah I need to find something, I've only got till Friday," Lia sighed.

"Oh whatever would you do without a new dress, you have NO other dresses obviously," Michelle teased as Lia nudged her.

"Not anymore babe sorry," Carla announced as Lia snapped her head around to see her mum.

"What?" Lia scowled.

"Peter's going away for a couple of months and wants to see the twins before he goes," Carla explained, "The only chance to get there is Friday."

"Well I don't have to come," Lia shrugged.

"I know but you can't have a party without me here," Carla sighed.

"What! Mum come on that's not fair," Lia whinged.

"I'm sorry sweetie," Carla softened.

"Why does he get to decide everything, he's useless," Lia huffed.

"She's got a point," Rob added as Carla nudged him.

"Lia come on," Carla said with a sympathetic tone.

"Wait, what about if Chelle or Rob came round?" Lia asked.

"What?"

"Well you were gonna stay away until midnight, so what about if Chelle or Rob just pop round then to make sure everyone's gone and all good, instead of you."

"Lia," Carla tilted her head.

"Oh go on," Rob nudged his sister, "Let her, just think at least she's asking you, more than you ever did."

"Rob!" Carla sighed rolling her eyes.

"Well I'm up for it if I'm needed, Steve can look after Fia," Michelle added as Lia grinned excitably hugging her aunt's side.

Carla thought about it for a minute, "Well go on then, as long as Rob and Chelle are good with it, I suppose you can still have it."

"Yes! Thank mum!" Lia exclaimed jumping up and down excitably.

"But Lia, everyone must be gone by midnight! I mean it!" Carla demanded.

"I know I know, promise," Lia nodded excitably before looking at his phone, "Maisie's outside I'm going to town, I love you."

Lia blew a kiss to the adults before running out of the pub to meet her friend.

"I'm gonna regret this," Carla sighed as Michelle and Rob laughed.

"Drink?" Michelle smirked as Carla and Rob nodded.

"Any luck on the booze?" Maisie asked as they walked to the bus stop to meet Bethany.

"Nope," Lia huffed before smiling after and pulling the 20 note out of her pocket, "But ... I've got the money, if we can find someone to buy it."

"Bingo!" Maisie grinned.

"So we can get us three some and then everyone else can bring their own," Lia explained as Maisie grinned happily.

"Sorted?" Bethany asked sensing the atmosphere off the teenagers as they reached the bus stop, Lia and Maisie nodded happily, "Get in!"

"Right come on, time to start planning!" Maisie grinned as the three of them jumped on the bus excitably.
