Chapter 3: Concerned & Amazed

Later that afternoon, Melinda walked in the house carrying Madison who was asleep. "Here Ms. Gordon, let me take her up to her bed" Charlie said as he walked over to Melinda. "Charlie, I got her. Go relax, go do something for yourself. Mr. Clancy and Daniel wont be home until after 4. Go. You deserve it" Melinda said as she started walking up the stairs carrying Madison. "Ok" Charlie smiled "Thank you Ms. Gordon" he said. Charlie was loving having Melinda around, she was always nice to him and never took any crap from the kids including the troubled Daniel. Charlie thought it was amazing how Maddie looks up to Melinda and that it was great for her to have a female role model around the house for Madison instead of three guys. Melinda came back downstairs a few minutes later after tucking Madison in her bed. "Oh just wait until you see what we bought at the mall Charlie" Melinda said as she went outside to go get all her bags. She came back in a minute later "I found this cute little ballerina costume in the mall that Madison fell in love with when she seen it. I mean OMG. It is so gorgeous" Melinda pulled the pink costume out of the bag and showed it to Charlie who was sitting on the couch. Charlie chuckled "Its nice" he said. "And than I bought this amazing dress, I knew I had to have" Melinda put her dress that was in a clothing bag on the couch "Oh and they had that Circus Fantasy perfume by Britney Spears on sale. 60% Off, I knew I had to have it. And than this ski outfit they had on sale, I loved it" Melinda said. Charlie chuckled "Ms. Gordon, it appears to me someone is addicted to shopping" Charlie said. "Me addicted? No, I just love to shop" Melinda picked up her bags and her dress bag. "Ring me when Mr. Clancy and Daniel gets home. I'm gonna go do my hair. I have to try this new hair straightner I got on sale" Melinda said as she went upstairs.

Daniel walked in the house around 3:30pm. Melinda was in her room sitting at her desk in front of her mirror getting ready to straighten her hair when she heard Daniel's door slam. "What the..." Melinda looked at her watch "He's not suppose to be home from school yet" Melinda got up and left her room and knocked on Daniel's door. Melinda waited for Daniel to say something. Melinda sighed and opened his door "Daniel, you ok" Melinda asked. Daniel was sitting at his desk on his laptop and was on Facebook. "Yes, I'm Fine. I would like to be alone" Daniel said. "Ok" Melinda sighed and left Daniel's room. Melinda went back to her room and sat back at her desk. She felt her hair straightner to see if it was hot yet. Melinda could hear someone outside in the garage. Melinda's room was right above the garage. She walked over to her window and looked outside. She seen Jim out there fixing Daniel's bike. "What the hell. Is everyone home early today" Melinda left her room.

Melinda came outside. Jim was fixing Daniel's bike. "I didn't know you were home so earlier" she said. "Yeah, I had to leave the office early and pick up Daniel from school" Jim said. "Oh" Melinda looked confused "Is everything ok" she asked in a concerned voice. "Well not really. He got into an argument with one of the sub teachers" Jim revealed. "Oh. So I take he got a detention" Melinda asked. Jim shook his head "No, he uh...got suspended" Jim said. Jim started to screw the tire on Daniel's bike. "Oh" Melinda didn't really know what to say. "So what are you doing out here" Melinda asked. "Well I figured I would fix his bike and let him ride his bike over to his friend's house this evening" Jim said. Melinda sat down on the crate that was by Jim "Mr. Clancy, I know it's not my place to say but don't you think there should be some sort of..." Melinda was thinking for the right word "Consequence for him getting into this argument with this teacher. I mean I think there should be" Melinda said. "There already is. He got suspended from school" Jim said. Melinda shook her head "No I'm talking about a consequence from you. I mean he should at least be grounded. He gets in trouble at school and your just gonna let him go to his friend's house without even saying anything to him about what he's done. I mean you have seen the way he acts in the house and at the table this morning. Mr. Clancy, he is just gonna keep walking over you. You need to put your foot down on this" Melinda said in a concerned voice. She knew it wasn't her place to say but she knew something had to be done with Daniel's behavior. Jim sat there for a minute thinking. He knew deep down Melinda was right. Jim sighed "I know I just don't want him to hate me" Jim said. Melinda put her hand on her bosses shoulder "He might but he'll get over it, kids get over these things. He needs to learn what he is doing is wrong and your the only person he is gonna listen to" Melinda said. Jim looked at Melinda "Your right. I'll tell him after dinner" Jim said. Melinda gave Jim a light smile "Ok" she said. Melinda got up and started to go back in the house. "Thanks for the advice Ms. Gordon" Jim said. Melinda smiled "I just want what's best for him. He's a great kid. I just think he's afraid to show it" Melinda said. Jim smiled and went back to working. Melinda went back in the house.

Melinda walked back upstairs and went into her room. 20 minutes later, Charlie knocked on her door "Ms. Gordon, you should see this" Charlie said. Melinda had straightened her hair up "What's going on" Melinda asked as she came out of her room. Jim was standing at Madison's door looking in her room. Music was heard playing from the three year olds room. Melinda walked over to where Jim was standing. Jim looked at her "Wow, you straightened your hair" Jim smiled. "Yeah I do that sometimes" Melinda said. "Well it looks good. Straight or curly it looks great" Jim said. Melinda smiled "Thanks. So what are we all looking at" Melinda asked. "Look at her" Jim pointed in Madison's room. Melinda looked in and seen Madison in her ballerina costume and was dancing. Melinda smiled. "I've never seen her that happy before" Jim said. "I'm just happy I can be here for both of them" Melinda said. Jim looked at her "I'm happy your here too" Jim said. They both stared at each other not saying a word as Madison danced in the background.
