"That's great news Anne." Jay said as she spoke on the phone.

"Yes. They say he should be allowed home tomorrow." Anne replied, a touch of sadness in her voice.

"So. I spoke to the girls. You know Tricia's husband works for environmental health? Well, she told him about your flat and Harry's health. With your permission, he wants to look at your flat. Hopefully he'll report it and you could get a new home? What do you think?" Jay said enthusiastically.

"Really? Yes please. That would be great. I'm really worried about taking him back there."

"I'll tell him straight away. I'll need your keys though. Can I pop over and get them?"

"Of course. The sooner the better. I'll meet you outside."

"My God! No wonder Harry is ill.  This place is covered in mould and damp." Tricia's husband Yaser said as he looked around the bedroom.

"I didn't think it was this bad in here. Its the only room I haven't been in." Jay said, sadness in her voice.

"It's disgusting that they let people live in places like this." Yaser said, taking photos. "I'll definitely be reporting this. I wouldn't want them to come back here either."

"Harry's coming home tomorrow."

"Not here. They're going to have to find somewhere else. I'll see if I can find them some emergency accommodation." Yaser said.

"No...let me talk to Mark. We have a spare room. I'd rather they stayed with us than in some other crappy place." Jay said, getting her phone out to make a call.

"We can't do that Jay. We'll get in your way." Anne said as Jay called her later that day.

"I'm not taking no for an answer. We have plenty of room. It's no bother. Now. Tomorrow, we're gonna go into your place and pack everything up. Take what you need to ours and we'll put the rest in storage. Yaser thinks it won't take long to get you a new home."

"I...I don't know what to say." Anne whispered, feeling very emotional.

"Just looking out for our friend."

"Take care Anne. And you little man." The Doctor said as they were leaving the hospital.

"Thank you for looking after him." She hugged the Doctor and said goodbye.

Jay carried her bags while Anne held Harry. He was definitely better now, even giggling a little as Anne bounced him up and down.

Jay drove them to her house and they went inside.

"Hi Anne, Harry. How are you?" Mark asked, Louis in his arms.

"He's much better now, thanks. Just has to take the antibiotics a few more days. Are you sure it's ok to stay here?" She asked.

"Honestly Anne. It's fine." Louis held his arms out wanting a hug from Harry. Cute. "Is this ok?" Mark asked.

"Yes. He's not contagious." Anne smiled. They walked over to the living room and put both boys on the floor. Louis went straight over to Harry and hugged him, then put a wet kiss on his cheeks. Harry giggled.

There was a knock at the door. It was Maura and Niall.

"So glad you're out of hospital and that flat, Anne."

Anne smiled and hugged her friend. "You sure you don't mind watching the boys for us?"

"Not at all. They'll have great time." Maura replied, as she put Niall down with the other boys.

"Thank you so much."

Anne, Jay and Mark got into the van they'd hired and headed off to Anne's flat.

Anne didn't have many possessions, so it didn't take long to pack everything up. They took the things she needed to Jay's house, then took the rest to a small storage unit.

"Settled in?" Jay asked as Anne entered the living room. She'd just spent the last hour putting everything in place.

"Yes. Thank you so much."

"You're welcome love. Now...come sit down." Jay patted the seat beside her.

Both boys were having a nap, while Mark was making dinner.

"You don't know what this means to me. You're such wonderful friends." Anne smiled, and they hugged each other.

Anne was feeling so happy. The happiest she has done in a long time. All thanks to her wonderful group of friends.
