A little earlier ....
Joshy sat there watching the gig, hidden in the dark, holding on to James and Raven for protection, hoping that this gig would be the way that he could, somehow, make it up to Jimmy for all he'd done. "How can I ever make it up to him?" he whispered. "I need to."
James shook his head. "That failboat's sailed. It's not worth it. He's tougher than you, it's more than your life's worth."
Raven, however, took a different tack. "Don't worry, Joshy." She smiled. "There's a way round everything."
"And the babies! What if they are mine! What if they aren't! What if I've screwed up my best friend's relationship, what I'm giving up my career for .... ARG!"
"You'll still be there for them." Raven patted Joshy's shoulder. "Father or best friend, you can help Bikki."
"Just metal," said James, pointing at the stage to stop the conversation. "Just how I like it!"
They stayed silent for a few minutes, enjoying the gig, Joshy still worrying. He couldn't handle the way that Jimmy was talking about Bikki - it was only a one-off mistake, not to mention pot-kettle-spliff to Jimmy and Angie - but even ditzy Joshy Firecracker knew better than to let The Nimrods know that he was there.

A few minutes later ....
"GET THIS MAN AN AMBULANCE!" Joshy was shouting, amid the chaos. "WE MUST SAVE HIM!"
"Joshy, sit down," said James. "The ambulance is here. Raven's calling Bikki - and hopefully not mentioning the set content. You won't make him better, probably the opposite."
"I KNOW JIMMY! I'M GOING WITH HIM!" Before James or anyone had the chance to stop him, Joshy followed Jimmy's stretcher into the ambulance. Raven, on the phone to Bikki, the girl frantic despite being used to such situations, followed him. Joshy held her hand. "We'll stay until Bikki can get here, OK?"
Please let Jimmy live, Joshy silently prayed to a God he didn't even believe in. For Bikki, for Timo, for the babies whether they're yours or mine .... please let him live.

Meanwhile, in Midsomer Norton ....
"I'll be there as soon as possible," said Bikki to Raven, "thankyou for calling me, Raves."
Of Bikki's new housemates, Kate got online quickly and looked up plane times - she can be caring when she's needed - while Chris held his hyperventilating pregnant friend. "I'll look after Timo, this'll be too much for him," he said, comfortingly. "You just be there for Jimmy."

((OOC : Good RP, and I know this makes balls all sense, but I had to join in somehow. It's me being called a whore, after all!))

Bristol International Airport ....
"I'm sorry, Miss, we can't board you."
Bikki looked shocked. "WHAT? I just paid for my ticket!"
"We're sorry, we'll refund you. But with that bump, there's no way you're getting on the plane."
"WHY NOT!?"
"Too far along. There's too much risk of you going into labour on the plane, and none of us wants that to happen. And haven't you heard of deep vein thrombosis?"
She shuddered a little. "Of course I have!" Deep vein thrombosis was one of Bikki's strange fears, but nothing compared to the fear of losing Jimmy. She held the steward's shoulders and shook him. "BUT DON'T YOU REALISE THE PAIN MY BOYFRIEND'S GOING THROUGH!? Can't you make just ONE exception? PLEASE!?"
The steward broke away. "Sorry. Hard and fast rule."
"He wishes he ruled hard and fast ...." Bikki muttered to herself, while trying to think. Suddenly, the idea came to her. She got out her mobile phone ....

The hospital ....
"Sorry. Phonecall." Raven walked outside, answering her phone, leaving Joshy and Jimmy alone.
Joshy petted Jimmy's hand, tearful. "I wanted to find a way to make it up to you tonight," he whispered to the sleeping Jimmy. "And yet, even thoughts of me were enough to let this happen. I never wanted you to hurt yourself, Jimmy. Neither did Bikki, and she's no whore.
"You don't have to give me or Bikki a second chance. Just give yourself one. Please, Jimmy."
Joshy hated the cold impersonality of hospitals. The machines freaked him out, never quite sure what was going to happen. If this is death, it's not beautiful, he thought.

"RAVEN!" Bikki screamed down the phone, desperate for a solution. "Do you have the number of Jakey's fAthOmcOptEr pilot?"
"I'll call him," Raven replied. She knew just what Bikki wanted. "Where to meet you?"
Bikki scratched her head, trying to think of the right place. "Erm .... Brislington Park & Ride." She was a little worried about them seeing her take off at the airport, in case they saw her, and there was plenty of room for a helicopter to land at the P&R. "Where to?"
Raven gave details of the hospital. Bikki was sure she'd get to Jimmy. The fAthOmcOptEr would be better - no restrictions, more leg room, and it was quicker too.
"Is Jimmy with anyone apart from you?"
"Joshy."
"Get back in that room, Raves. NOW." Bikki put the phone down, without asking what was going on. This was too complicated. Sure, Raven was there to mediate .... but why Joshy, of all people!? And with her there as well. She just took it the simple way - Jimmy needs her. She got on the next bus to Brislington with that in mind.

Joshy was startled at being hugged, but saw it as a good sign. Both that Jimmy was getting better .... and that the two will get along just fine. After all they had something in common. He blushed a little thinking of what it was, but only thinking that it was kind of weird. Of all things.
He held him tightly but comfortably, careful not to knock the machinery. "She'll be here," he said, "she'll be here." He wasn't entirely sure of this, but close to. Bikki knew what was going on, and she wouldn't just leave Jimmy like this, unless it was absolutely impossible for her to get there. Which it could be.
He broke away from the hug and sat with his head in his hands. He wished he knew ....

The fAthOmcOptEr touched down outside the hospital. Bikki saw Raven at the allotted meeting place, and ran into her arms.
"Ravenah, you always save the day," said Bikki, "now where's Jimmy?"
"Ugh, your leg's wet, but thanks, I do try." Raven curtsied. Bikki giggled and blushed a little, but she didn't really feel like laughing, or worrying about a wet leg, when there was so much more going on. Raven took back the keys to the fAthOmcOptEr, and got in to fly home .... her work here is done.
Bikki wandered through the labyrinth of hallways, fast as she could, to find Jimmy's room, trying to remember the number. Bikki was nervous, shaking like a leaf, not entirely sure what she'd find. She'd heard from Raven that Jimmy was alive, and he hadn't killed Joshy. She wasn't entirely sure whether this was because he was too ill to do so.

"Bikki!" Joshy greeted her with a hug and a beaming grin. "Ugh, you're soaking." Bikki had barely noticed that the 'wet leg' was now a waterfall. She'd sort herself out in a few minutes - it was more important to see Jimmy first.
"JOSHY! JIMMY! OH MY GOD!" She let go of her BFF, and held onto her fiancé for dear life, thinking of him only. "You - you almost died." Joshy really hoped that she never found out what he said before Jimmy came close to death .... but it didn't matter. He'd taken it back, or as good as. For the moment, it felt like one happy family. The only problem is, as all three of them knew, it works fine, two at a time. With all three of them there, it could be fireworks.

It was running round and round Bikki's head. Of course her waters broke, why didn't she think of that? The membranes must have ruptured in the fAthOmcOptEr, the steward must have tempted fate .... but it's early! OK, multiples always come early but .... two whole months early?
"I don't want to have the babies! Not now! It's too soon!" she screamed.
The doctor shrugged his shoulders, as calmly as if he treated a million women giving birth to twins prematurely, as well as their fiancés who had tried to commit suicide by cutting out two pints of blood on stage, visited by their sexuality ambiguous best friend slash mortal enemy slash potential baby father. "Bit late for that, be careful next time."
"We're going to have to take her away from you, Jimmy," said the nurse. "Can you handle that?"
Jimmy gripped Joshy's hand. "You stay with her. Come let me know how she is."

Joshy felt like he was jumping through hoops. One minute he was holding Bikki's hand telling her that Jimmy's OK, the next he's holding Jimmy's hand telling him that Bikki's OK. He'd done so much running that he was feeling dizzy, as if he needed some meds himself .... but as long as these two were fine, that was what mattered. Inbetween jaunts, he took breaks to call round Raven, Davey, as many Bikki relatives as he had the phone numbers for - gossipista Sophy-Cat, of course, being his first port of call - and a few other people, about the babies on the way and Jimmy looking better. We know too many people, he thought.
But neither the phonecalls nor the running from room to room were anyhere near as exhausting as Joshy's thoughts. It felt like somebody was going to die. It could be Jimmy, it could be Bikki, it could be one or both of the babies - the birth of what were, potentially, his children wasn't as happy a day as he hoped. Polar opposite, in fact.

Joshy had apologised constantly for the attacks. Being as dim as he was, he hadn't recognised Jimmy. He was surprised at how small he looked without his hair and in Joshy's clothes, or maybe it was the blood loss. As for the kiss - well, if anything, the "love triangle" was complete. When Bikki was awake, she'd love to hear this one.
Bikki. The two guys stood waiting outside the surgery door - they weren't allowed in during surgery. This premature, and two of them, they'd have to be cut out. Joshy recoiled at the thought, and was glad to be born male, so there was no chance of such things coming up. Poor girls .... poor Bikki. And what if the babies didn't live? What if she went through all this just to deliver two corpses? And whose corpses were they .... Joshy had always assumed that they were his, but he could be wrong, and half-hoped he was. The moment of truth.

Bikki woke up, hallucinating that she'd just seen two dead babies taken away from her. "Bye bye babies," she said, slurring her speech a little as she came off the anaesthetic.
"Would you like to see them?" asked a smiling nurse. "I haven't let your boy in yet, we had to check them over first and we thought you'd want to see them first ...."
"Why would I want to see dead babies? I'm not that morbid!"
"You're right, I wouldn't want to see dead babies either." The nurse shook her head. "But we've got two live ones right here!"
It was like an electric shock - but a good one. "M-my b-babies s-survived!?"
The nurse nodded. "Yup. Both these determined little ladies found their way out! Don't look identical though, not one bit!"
Bikki had never felt so wonderful as how she did when she held the two newborns. The smaller one looked just like a female version of Timo when he was born, but half the size. Joshy looked nothing like Timo. So, that was sorted. They're Jimmy's. But then, she turned her eye to the other - she was bigger, and had some wisps of titian hair, like Joshy did when he was born. She was a baby Roxy, even down to the baby fat she'd stolen from her slimline sister. She looked for a characteristic similar to Jimmy - they're both human. And small. That was about it.
She tried to remember - what did I do that night!? I was at the party, then I went back to Joshy's, then I went back home ....
"Let the boys in. I think we have a problem here."

OOC:Btw nice twist Bikz I think this is the best RP I've ever done! :)

OOC:I think the RP is over now, I thought it was good

OOC:Actually I have a bit more to add

Jimmy:We need to celebrate! We can go to my parents' house, they live about a mile from here we can get there fast, everyone can come, we can get Timo flown over to see his little sisters and my parents haven't seen Timo since he was a newborn, maybe a few months.

Doctor:Well I don't know, your girlfriend still needs to recover

Jimmy:*takes off Joshy's stiletto* You see this? That guy over there will put it back on and kick you in your lower region then shove it up your crack, does that sounds fun?

Freyja:*Happy baby response (Idk if babies can giggle this early)*

Doctor:That won't be necessary, Ma'am you can go in a few hours if you'd like.

Jimmy:Damn right!

At this time Jimmy's two parents Johannes and Mary arrived along with Davey and Kit who picked them up.Johannes was also extremely short, a mere 5'1 and partially grey-haired, though some was blond with a hint of brown.He resembled Jimmy in every way except his eyes which were an icy blue.Mary was even shorter, 4'10 and brown haired, she was very pretty and also somewhat resembled Jimmy, she would explain why Jimmy looks rather feminine and is often mistaken for a woman or made fun of for his appearance.

Jimmy:Äiti, isä, miten sinä tiesit! (Ma,Dad , how did you know!)

Johannes:Ystäväsi kertoi meille, ja me ryntäsi niin pian kuin mahdollista (Your friends told us and we rushed here as soon as possible )

Davey:Which ones yours dude

Jimmy:The brown haired little one, her name is Freyja, Bikki named her.

Mary:Kumpi? Molemmat eivät ole sinun, sanoin, että bikki ole hyvä! (Which one? They both aren't yours, I told you that bikki was no good!)

Jimmy:Äiti hän teki virheen, olen huijasi hänen kanssa Angie se on ok Relax. (Mom she made a mistake, i cheated on her with angie it's ok relax)

Mary:Ainakin Angie oli noin hemmetin luokan tämä tyttö on kusipää (At least angie had some damn class this girl is a cunt)

Johannes: (heavy polish accent) Maria! This is not correct, our boy loves this woman and you will not speak of her in such a way!

Jimmy: Yeah!

Kit:I understood more of what he said in Finnish than English and speak BOTH fluently.

Mary:Ketih! How um what's the word again, I'm forgetting my English, oh yeah RUDE!

Johannes:Anyway congratulations on your baby! *picks up Freyja* you look as sweet as my Maria (Scandinavian equivalent of Mary. The Hetesteins changed their names when the emigrated to Mary and John) did in her younger days haha.

Mary:*slap*

Jimmy:*laughs* Looks like the party came to us!

OOC: Thanks it kept me on the edge of my seat and I'm in it lol, Bikz does that.
