Its first thing on a Monday morning and the week after Sian Diamond left Waterloo Road and Michael Byrne is on the look out for a new deputy. He walks out his office to ask Sonya if he can do him a favour before her sister starts to annoy him about looking for one.

Sonya, I need you to write an ad for a new deputy.

Just as Michael starts to tell Sonya what to write his new fiancé Christine enters the office.

Michael should we tell the staff that we are getting married, I mean they will find out soon enough when invites are posted through the door, oh and should we invite Sian?

Yeah I think we should tell them today, I'll tell Sonya to let all the staff know that there will be a meeting in the staff room during lunch time and about Sian I think we should invite her she has always been there after all.

Yeah your right Michael and you know the staff are never happy about a lunch time meeting but I think they might just let you off this time... any excuse for a party after all.

You might actually have a point Christine, anyway I'm sure you have work to be doing I'll see you at lunch oh and Christine

Yes?

I love you and can't wait to make you Mrs Byrne

and I can't wait to be Mrs Byrne

Michael pulls Christine into a kiss.

Lorraine walks in the office as Michael and Christine are kissing.

Ahem.. do I not pay you two to work

Yeah sorry Lorraine see you later Michael.

So Michael have you found anyone for the new deputy post yet?

No but we'll find someone, we still have Tom in the mean time.

So Lorraine are you able to make the staff meeting at lunch? You know with your busy schedule and all..

No sorry I can't got a meeting this afternoon and will need to leave then sorry, is there anything I should know about.

Well yeah there is actually, Christine and I are getting married but don't say anything until the rest of the staff know.

Congratulations, I'm happy for you and don't worry about it.

Christine's POV

Christine is in her classroom, she has a free period and is thinking about how good her life is at the moment and how nothing could make it bad again. She has everything she wants and more.

I'm so happy to be marrying Michael, I love him so much and he's really been for Connor and I.

Connor walks into his mothers classroom

Mum, I need to tell you something.

Imogen's not pregnant is she?

Uh no, Imogen and I got married at the end of last term..

You did what, tell me your not serious

Mum I'm serious Imogen and I love each other and we wanted to show each other how much we meant it so we got married.

Well Connor I'm not mad, I can't be I'm happy that your happy, does Imogen's mother know?

Not exactly..

well you better tell her Connor you will not be able to keep it a secret forever.

Okay Mum I suppose we better.

Yeah you better or I'll do it.

All the teachers are in the staff room wondering what the meeting could be about. Michael comes into the staff room and thanks the staff for giving up their lunch time to come to the meeting.

Well Christine and I have an announcement to make..

She's not pregnant is she?

No Grantly she is not pregnant, We're getting married

Oh well thank god for that thats all we need another Byrne

Well I'm glad to see your happy for us Grantly.

The staff congratulated the happy couple just as the bell went, the staff left to go and teach their next classes. Except from Tom who wanted to speak to Michael about something.

So have you had any responses about the new deputy position?

Yeah, we've had a few but nothing that stands out.. why do you have anyone in mind.

Well I do have someone, he was deputy at the old Waterloo road for a few years before you came, he left to do social work but has finally decided to come back into teaching. He's also a science teacher which would be a replacement in science for Sian who actually took over from him.

Yeah he sounds like a good option get him to send his details over and he can come in for a chat.

He's a very good teacher and deputy who is always their to help if and when need.

Thanks Tom that could really be a big help.

Tom was just happy to maybe have one of his old friends back he always did like Chris and could always have a laugh with him, he just hoped Michael would like him too. But really whats not to like about Christopher Mead.
