Thanks to x snow-pony x for reviewing.

At first, one note about Maggie Smith. I'll keep her as portrayer for Philippa. I was always thinking if anyone would make it to two hundred years that would be her. Rest in peace.

Hello everyone. I'm so sorry for not updating this, for looooooooooong. But here I am. I haven't updated this since March. So most of the spring and the whole summer and all of the fall has passed. The other night we had snow.

Now, if anyone's wondering how my writing has been going.

I finished a story called too much bitten off to chew, and started one for seizure awareness called Boys meets different lives. I also want to brag some about a whole lot for all the Oneshots I've written. There's one each for the saddle club, Grey's anatomy, Romeo and Juliet, Young Sheldon, before I stay My mum Tracy Beaker, The story of Tracy Beaker and a bunch for Tracy Beaker returns. For the latter I and my friend x snow-pony x started a series of Oneshots together, she set up its own account for it and if you like Tracy Beaker Returns as much as we do you can check it out at "IHseries" they are Oneshots about Tracy, Mike and Cam, life and death and love that reaches through anything. Trigger warning as they all mention suicide.

It has come to my attention that I described Diamond and her barks in the wrong way. As I'm writing this, I haven't changed it but I will before I post this chapter since she obviously doesn't have those high-pitched barks. With that, I apologize to Diamond very much. And I hope she'll be okay with that. I'm sorry.

When Nathan and Qwyn had finished their first day on their first job I went with them to take them home. I could see them both before that standing in the living room and looking around as if they wanted to see every little piece of this flat.

"And here they are." We had soon arrived back at Elm Tree House and I led them towards the office where Mike was waiting. "The boys were on their best behaviour and they now think they found the flat that they want to move into when they move away from here."

"Really?" Mike seemed a bit confused, but happy as well. "How did you think of that, just like that?"

Both I and Qwyn turned to Nathan, now Mike asked about it I realized it was what I had been wondering all along. The boys hadn't seemed to be wondering about where to live after they moved. And now he had suddenly found their flat.

"I don't know." Nathan shrugged. "I just thought she had an interesting lamp in the living room. It looked like the death star from star wars… And I started wondering whether we should have a lamp like that when we move and suddenly I couldn't stop imagining us two in that flat."

"You do know… Philippa's moving too. And she could be bringing that lamp with her…"

"Sounds like an interesting lamp!"

I could half-remember seeing a similar lamp at IKEA some time. Maybe if she brought that one with her it would be the easiest thing in the world to find one at the nearest IKEA (Newcastle) or even second hand.

Then I had to remind myself that second hand IKEA stuff might not be so easy to find around here, in England as it was back at home…

"If we don't concentrate on that lamp for a moment." Mike seemed to right away had been pulled with them on the plans. "Do you know who would need to say her mind about this?"

Somehow the thought about Emily hadn't struck me yet. The twins exchanged looks though and Qwyn was the one who nodded and answered before Nathan asked a question.

"Emily."

"Has she been really upset today?"

For a moment it struck me that I had brought these boys to their new job in the beginning of the afternoon. None of us- maybe Emily the least had known about the boys' plans to move into this one plan.

"Yes." Mike answered after a few seconds. "It was like, when you got your job. It made it somehow real that you're leaving. She wouldn't say a whole lot about it but she hasn't come out of her room all afternoon. Not even for dinner... Ella has been trying to talk to her and so have George but she just lies on her bed and stares into the wall…"

I didn't have to go upstairs and look at her. I knew the way she laid and this was even before she knew what the twins had planned.

"We'll go talk to her… But you must understand. Like, we're not leaving tomorrow. And we'll still come and visit all the time. It won't even take us an hour to walk here and back if we'd want and less than ten minutes by bus… Then, by the time we get our own car we'll only be a few minutes away… But… we're not leaving tomorrow."

"And I refuse to live in a flat as boring as it is now. We'll need her help. And we also need her help right now with some boxes and bags to move some smaller things of Philippa's. We're certain Emily has a whole lot of them and Philippa also really want to meet her."

Mike had been silent for another while in that way he only could when he had something to say, but he would say it when he wasn't going to be interrupted. So at last, when he figured the boys weren't going to say more for the moment and I didn't have anything.

"I do know that she thought that if you two got a job. It must be because you wanted to get away from here… and away from her. She's just afraid that now you're finally together again you will disappear from her again and that is understandable of course."

"It is." Qwyn continued and I could see he was feeling more than he showed right now. "We don't want to go away or lose her neither. Not when we're finally together again."

Both of these boys just had a special look in their eyes whenever they were with Emily or she was even talked about like this. They sure did love each other so much. I couldn't imagine everything they had been through.

"You'll have to tell her about this." Mike said after he was quiet for yet a while. "If I were you I'd do it now but you can figure that for yourselves. And don't let it wait until right before Christmas. That would only upset her more…"

None of those last would be any surprises. Still, Philippa hadn't even talked to her landlord yet. Still, whether it was where we had just come from or not this was a sign that these two boys were going to move away from Emily whether they liked it or not.

"We'll go talk to her." Nathan said and started turning towards the door. "It's probably the best if she hears it from us. And before anything else."

"We might as well get it over with!"

I had to say I agreed with them, this would only be made worse for Emily with every passing day and right now they left the office. We having said the things important to us and Mike and I could hear them and the rest of the kids while I checked the bus timetable to find there was one bus leaving quite soon.

"I'll just leave then I guess…" I felt my pockets. "Phone, wallet, keys… the boys did well today." Mike nodded at me. "What?"

"I could say it later. I should have said it earlier. But when you go with the twins to work at Philippa's you don't have to bring them back here. They're old enough to walk or take the bus back here themselves. But thank you for doing it this first time. How did it go?"

"They did well… It was a nice idea that they could take over Philippa's flat. It seemed like a nice size and everything… I have to go now. See you tomorrow."

"See you."

Mike sat back down by the computer to do some paper work. Peityn came running up from the kitchen and obviously wasn't going to let me leave without giving her a hug.

At last when I came up to the bus stop I only barely had the time to reach it…

Can I come over? -Johnny

Just as I stepped off the bus my phone beeped with a message and I smiled to myself seeing who it was from.

But hopefully Johnny had already figured because I had only come into my flat when there was a ring on the doorbell. And I just didn't want to ignore how hard my heart was beating when I saw him standing outside my door.

"I went with two fifteen year old boys for their first day at work today." I told Johnny. "They're going to be cleaning through an old lady's flat. They came out with the idea of that, when she moves away and when they turn sixteen they can take over that flat." Johnny smiled a bit. "I was googling with my phone to find some Christmas gifts that I thought of for them today. So I'll just have to go on my laptop and order them." I lifted my laptop over in my lap and got up the right page where I had already ordered what I was getting. "This one for Nathan, this lunch box." I showed Johnny a blue one with faces of the characters from Big Bang Theory. "And this bottle" A black plastic bottle with a red and yellow print that said "bazinga" "And then these for Qwyn." I showed him a matching set of lunch box and bottle- red and black and with Star Wars on it. "Yeah. That's their Christmas gifts sorted. But they'll be moving right after their birthday so of course they want and need things for living on their own…" I thought about it for a second. "I'll talk to Mike about this." Johnny looked over what I had showed him and smirked bigger.

"Are they sixteen or six?"

"Everyone wants…" I hesitated but smirked slightly. "I don't know if you know this. But it is a human right to get merchandise from your favorite fandoms for Christmas and birthdays." Johnny just smirked back, but when he turned away I saw that he shook his head slightly. "And well. It's like Qwyn said about that lamp earlier. With the difference that this merchandise is actually official. And not just an IKEA-lamp that reminds of it. And if Philippa leaves that lamp they already have that one."

I paused while I finished ordering the gifts and Johnny went to the bathroom. I then looked around the room- it could be fun to put a bit of paintings and stuff around here too. I had lived here for months but barely had any.

With this I knew what I was wishing for for Christmas,

"What are you a fan of?" Johnny asked when he came back from the bathroom. "Any series or books?"

There was only one answer to that.

"A TV series called Holby City… But it's not very well known so I don't think there's much merchandise out there."

Not as much as there was for Harry Potter anyway. But there was one thing with Holby that always bugged me, and now I started talking about it I just couldn't help but go on.

"There's a character named Hansen. Which is annoying. Because when it's spelt with an E like that it isn't Swedish, it's Norwegian or Dane. And I do think the actor is just another British one reading Swedish from a script because he certainly doesn't know Swedish… At one point he actually does speak Swedish. And I couldn't even understand it. Like, if they wanted a Swedish character… All Swedes know English so why didn't they just use a Swedish actor. There are like ten million Swedes so there must be someone."

Johnny was all quiet for another little while, then he sighed deeply.

"That is such a you-thing to be bothered about Emma."

Random fact

That lamp that looks like the death star in Star Wars is an "Ikea PS 2014". White with silver insides.

I'll post pictures of the lamp and the lunch boxes and bottles on my Instagram Linneagbfanfiction.
