This is just a little lighthearted fic, so basically, Rachel and Eddie are married, she was never a prostitute or anything bad like that. They have 3 children: Jake age 11, Ben age 6 and Karen age 5 (that's right the kids from outnumbered).
It was the first morning of the new school year, Jake was to be starting Waterloo Road, and now, with both of the younger kids in school full time, it was a lot calmer in the Lawson household, or so Rachel thought. Nothing was ever calm for this family.
"Ben, hurry up" I shouted up the stairs to her youngest son whilst she tried to tie Karen's shoe.
"Mummy, Do I have to go to school?" Karen asked me.
"Yes you do" I replied with a grin across my face, glad we had no more childminders to deal with, for some reason, none of them stayed for long. But now, they were both going to afterschool club.
"But, but, I don't need to go to school, you and Daddy can teach me" she said.
"No, we teach big children" I said simply before going to the bottom of the stairs "Ben, I will not tell you again, Hurry up" I shouted before I heard a reply.
"I'm doing an experiment" he shouted down, "Oh no" I said quietly.
"Hes throwing his toys out the window" Karen said before Jake came running down in his Waterloo Road Uniform.
"Oh Jakey" I said, "you look so grown up" he just looked at me, not knowing what the fuss was about and made his way to the kitchen where Eddie was sitting at the computer.
I ran upstairs and found Ben with his bedroom lamp, ready to throw out the window "Ben, what are you doing" I said pulling it off him and putting it down on the table before glancing out the window.
"Right, that is enough of your experiments Ben, we have talked about this before" I said not noticing Eddie behind me.
"What are you doing this time?" he asked.
"I was just wanting to see what things took longer to fall, I seen it on TV" he said.
"Right no more TV" Eddie said.
We went downstairs and left the house for our first day back at school after the summer holidays.
