Hello my dear Laytonettes and Laytoners, welcome to the next chapter of our unwound future! So it's now time for the professors reaction, oooh interesting… P.S don't forget to check out my poll and forums! Thanks!
Hannah's point of view
The professor was now onto jis second cup of tea, and he nearly spat it out "What, you're not married yet! What are we going to do!" and other words to that effect emitted from his mouth. He stopped when flora gave him a Mr Whittaker style stare. "Congratulations you two!" she exclaimed before hugging me and luke in turn, I smiled and looked at the professor who was pulling his hat down over his eyes and was rather red at his ungentle manly outburst.
When he had collected himself he said "Yes, congratulations!" and walked over and hugged me, which was quite unexpected.
We all sat back down after that "How far along are you?" flora queried "About a month." I replied and Flora cocked her head to one side thoughtfully "That means in about 6 weeks you should have your first scan!" she smiled "Do you want to find out if it's a girl or a boy?" I wasn't sure what to reply to this but lukee stepped in "We haven't thought about it yet Flora, we'll discuss it later."
"Have you had your tea yet? We haven't." asked the professor "No we haven't actually." I replied "Would you like me to make you some?" I shuffled a bit "If that's fine, then yes." and with that the professor walked into the kitchen.
Flora switched the telly on "Let's see what's happening in the world." and the local news appeared "A road traffic accident earlier on in the day has caused three hour delays between Poplar Close and Wether Avenue, this could go on into thhe early hours of the morning." I looked at Luke with a worried expression "We live between there! How are we going to get home?" Luke looked at flora and she said "I'll ask the professor if you can stay here the night! There's the other spare bed made up." and before we could reply she had toddled of into the kitchen.
"He says that's fine, and he is making cheese and tomato pasta because he know's it's your favourite." I laughed "Cheese and tomato sandwiches, cheese and tomato pasta with lot's of summer dream tea, I'm eating well today!" luke and flora laughed as well "I'm going to see if Hershel needs a hand" informed luke and headed for the kitchen.
Flora came and sat next to me "I'm so excited that your having a baby! Have you thought of names yet?" I put my hand out in a slow down motion "We have another eight months to wait yet! And no, we haven't, neither have we started decorating the nursery." Flora looked thoughtful "I could help you with that, and so could the professor. When will you start showing?" it was my turn to think now "I think it's normally the third or forth month."
"my girls, tea is ready!" cried the professor, he hadn't really got out of the habit of calling us "my girl" or "my boy" just as we hadn't got out of the habit of calling him "professor" flora and I sat down at the chunky wooden kitchen table "This is delicious, thank you so much professor. What time is it?" I said and he glanced at the clock "My goodness! It's half past eight already!" I checked this for myself "So it is!"
We sat and talked a bit after we had finished and luke turned to the clock "it's now half past nine, anyone else tired?" we all nodded and "hmm"ed "Should we go up to bed now? There are some spare pyjamas in your bedroom." the professor told us, so that is what we did.
I thought the professors reaction was funny, anyone else? The whittaker style stare bit, incase you were wondering, came from a supply we have called Mr Whittaker, and if you are doing something you shouldn't be he gives you a really scary stare, but it becomes quite funny when you have got used to him! Ideas for future chapters a greatfully received and don't forget to review! Solving puzzles helps to bring world peace! Hannah.
