Callie walks into my room. "They're putting in your transfer papers for tomorrow. You will be in Ciders-Sinai Hospital early tomorrow morning."

Good!

"Thank you, Callie."

She nods. "We need to come up with a plan to get you to the hospital safely. Paula's been staking this place out."

"How do you know?"

Callie walks over to the bed and whispers. "I've seen her. Last night, Noah had a visitor and I found some hearing devices in his room."

"Do you think there's any in here?"

She shakes her head. "No, my mobile has a device that will detect it."

"Can you get my kids? I want to see them."

Callie nods. "I'll get them for you." She walks out of the room.

Noah moves swiftly to me. "What are you and Callie hiding?"

"Noah, you are better off in the dark when it comes to this. I'll tell you about it in due time."

He nods. "I have to trust you someday."

Ashley, Harley and Gisele walk into the room.

My little princess runs over to me. "Mummy."

I pull Ashley onto the bed with me.

I'm happy my children are with me.

Harley and Gisele climb onto the bed with me.

"I love you, Mummy." my kids say in unison.

I hug them. "Mummy loves you as well."

"We saw the fireman put the fire out in the house." Gisele says.

"There were three fire trucks and they had their big hoses pointing to the house." Harley adds.

Ashley holds on to me. "We saw you on the stretcher, Mummy."

I feel the colour drain from my face. "I'm sorry you had to see that."

The next morning Callie walks into the room. She wears a blonde wig. She looks like me.

I smile. "That suits you, Callie."

She laughs. "Shut up, Amelia."

"Do you remember the first time we decided to look like the other?"
