This is my first fan fiction so sorry of its rubbish :) I wrote this story after episode 1 of the new series!
Chapter 1 – The Christening
-----------------
She knew he was going to be there, well it's obvious he would be he's his dad!
He didn't know if she'd be there because of course he was going, but still she was his Auntie!
------------------
Everyone was arriving now, Melissa, Eddie and Eddie's new girlfriend who worked at the same school as him, Ruby May she was called, had been there for about an hour going over details with the priest person about George, who was also there he was only 6 weeks old.
Mell was getting nervous that Rachel wouldn't show. She really wanted her older sister to be here helping her out and Rachel had been chosen as the god-mother.
"Mell are you ok?" Ruby asked noticing she was getting a bit agitated.
"Yeah, well i just wish Rachel would hurry up I'm getting worried she won't come"
"She's your sister right?" Ruby questioned
"Yep"
"How comes she might not show then?"
"Her ex is here, Eddie ... ow sorry i completely forgot" Melissa replied forgetting who she was talking to.
"It's ok don't worry"
Just as Ruby finished her sentence Rachel walked in laughing at something the man on her right has just said. Melissa noticed they were holding hands.
"Hey Rachel" Melissa smiled hugging her sister
"Hey hun, ow um Mell this is Jack, my partner"
"Alryt" Jack nodded shaking Melissa's hand
"Yeah hey, um Rachel i need to talk to you a second" Melissa said linking arms with her sister and walking off leaving Jack to his own devices.
"Uh Rachel you do realise Eddie's here" Melissa quizzically raised her eyebrows
"Yeah course i do"
"Well he's brought his new girlfriend with him" Rachel felt her heart wrench at this comment, how could he still have this affect on her after nearly 3 months of not seeing each other. No she had to stop this she was with Jack now.
"Sis you ok"
"Yeah" Rachel sighed
"She's over there, look" Melissa pointed towards her "she's called Ruby, Ruby May bit weird actually don't you think?"
"She's pretty" Rachel faintly smiled
"Mmm" Melissa agreed
-----------------
Eddie turned around from speaking with Tom and Rose and was about to walk over to Melissa and Rachel, she was still as beautiful as the last time he saw her, when all his emotions came flooding back and was sick at the sight he had just witnessed! Another man wrapping his arm around Rachel's waist, whispering in her ear and her smiling that beautiful smile.
His mind and heart were telling him not to go over there, not to do this to himself, but it seemed his legs took over this situation and carried him over there.
"Eddie" Melissa trailed off as it to say why come over? Why do this to yourself?
She knew Eddie still loved Rachel it was obvious for god sake, every time he saw her he would ask how Rachel was. But she also knew that Rachel still loved Eddie but was hiding from her feelings, and as a matter of fact she was going to try and get them back together if it wasn't for Jack and Ruby.
"Alryt" Eddie smiled
"Hey Eddie" Rachel faintly smiled
"Ow Eddie this is Jack" Mell informed him because Rachel obviously wasn't going to
"Alryt mate" Jack shook Eddie's hand. Eddie just nodded
"Rach, do you want another drink hun?" Jack asked
"Yes please"
Rach, Rach WHAT! Eddie was the only person to ever call Rachel, Rach.
"I'm just gunna get George, should be startin in 5" Mell walked off leaving them alone
"So..." they both started
"Go on" Rachel smiled awkwardly; this is something she thought she would never experience awkward with Eddie Lawson!
"So how have you been?"
"Yeah ok, you?"
"Fine" Eddie looked down at his pint and shook it slightly. "How's school been?"
"Good, first day was a nightmare though" Rachel laughed slightly thinking about the past week.
"First days always are there, ain't they what happened?" Eddie asked imaging what could have happened.
"Well there's this new executive head Max Tyler or whatever he is and he's a complete asshole! Thinks I'm not capable of my job" Eddie smiled at the thought of this he knew she would have hated being told that. "Waterloo Road and John Fosters had a massive bust up in the playground, all the students which was a nightmare and then to go and make matters worse the staff are even at each other's throats"
"Wow it does sound like a nightmare" Eddie laughed
"It's not funny, it's stressing me out" Rachel smiled playfully hitting him on the arm then suddenly wishing she hadn't. Eddie cleared his throat "Nothin juss..."
"Rachel!" A boy that looked about 18, 19 shouted at her then hugged her
"Woah careful Dan" Rachel smiled
"How yaself den?"
"Fine thanks you?"
"Yeah good"
"And keeping out of trouble i hope"
"Sis ya now dats summit I'm never gunna be able to do" Dan laughed
Rachel shook her head sarcastically "Dan this is Eddie" she introduced
"Ow ite mate, Rachel's lil bro you are?" he said turning to Eddie
"A friend" Wow that stung 'a friend'
"George's dad" Rachel added
"aaa, anyway cya later sis" Dan said and walked off.
"You're wearing a suit as well" Rachel noticed
"Yeah it's the dress code in work, couldn't get away with wearing jeans i was a peed off at first but now they've just kinda grown on me, there is one thing I'd still never wear though a tie"
"I noticed, i never thought I'd see the day you, wearing a suit" Rachel laughed
"Ey are Rach" Jack walked over handing Rachel her drink
"Thanks" Rachel smiled
"Eddie!" Mell shouted
"Yeah" Eddie turned round to see what she wanted and saw they were about to start
"Come on, and you Rachel"
The Christening was soon finished, Rachel was chosen as the god-mother and Eddie's younger brother Jay was chosen as the go-father.
