Andrea pulled up outside McKenna's new school, she'd been unhappy about the thought of her mum leaving her so Andrea stayed for as long as McKenna wanted her too. In the end she stayed for three hours and then headed back home to hang out for a while and worry about her. She waited until it was nearly pick up time until she headed into the school. She looked around the car park seeing different parents make their way towards the school.

The school had a pick up in class policy for the younger children. McKenna needed to be picked up from the classroom. She really hoped that she had a good day. She didn't know if she would handle it if she had been crying for her the whole day or not.

She climbed out of her car and glanced across the carpark at two hot guys heading towards the school. At first she hand them pinned as two gay guys but as she looked again as they drew closer she could see they were brothers. One was scowling and from the limited signs she knew he didn't want to go into the school the other was more upbet. They both were signing and talking so it was hard for Andrea to work out if any of them were deaf.

She found it fascinating to watch their hands move, she hoped that her daughter would soon find friends that could sign with her and play. They seemed to be having a good conversation about something without much trouble. No doubt they had been signing for years or something.\

Both men looked across at Andrea and one scowled more at her for staring and the other gave her a nod.

"Hello," Andrea signed. "My first ... day... pick... up." Andrea stumbled through the signs.

"Hi, my hundredth day pick up but we are new at the school too and Merle doesn't like to come." Daryl signed and talked to Andrea. "Are you?..." He gestured towards the building and towards his ears, Merle watched the interaction. She was a good looking babe but he couldn't speak because he knew he slurred and his speech patterns were starting to change sometimes, he worked with a speech therapist once a week and he hated it.

"No... my little girl, McKenna," Andrea spoke and tried to sign, she spelt out McKenna's name. She didn't know what to do about her name yet she hoped someone would teach her how to come up with something for her name. "She's lost a great deal of her hearing," Andrea said quickly, Daryl nodded and Merle just stood there. "I'm sorry, I'm rude," She plunged her hand into her bag and pulled out her phone and started texting looking at Merle. She quickly typed in and turned her phone so he could read it.

I'm so sorry, I'm really bad at signing I promise I'll keep trying,

He nodded and said "Its ok... you can used the phone, I couldn't sign at all a year ago... Merle." He signed the sign for his name, he pointed to the other man. "Daryl." He signed it, Andrea tried to sign both the signs he made. Merle repeated them until she got it right. She was embarrassed and flusted trying to get them right, also he was kinda sexy and she was blushing like mad. She was going crazy or something standing outside the school blushing like a school girl talking to two men about going to pick up her daughter.

"Sorry," Andrea signed and gestured that they should all head inside to pick up the children. She followed the men into the building, she really wasn't checking them out, she tried to tell herself that as she glanced down their backs and her gaze rested on their butts. Neither of them were wearing wedding rings, she blushed again as Merle looked over his shoulder at her and caught her staring at his arse. He seemed to know what she had been doing and she couldn't look away fast enough. She tried to pretend she wasn't but she knew by the tiny smirk on his face as he turned back to keep walking.

Both men were signing quickly between them. Andrea only recognized one sign and that was the sign hot. She felt like she was eve's dropping in a conversation but they didn't talk out loud they just moved their hands very very quickly like they might have been talking about her or something. Or may she was paranoid.

She ended up following them the whole way down to the classroom where she left McKenna that morning. She peeked in through the window that was one way and put her hand to her mouth seeing her little girl wrap her arms around another little girl to hug her. They both were signing like crazy. Andrea wasn't sure but she thought they were making up some signs themselves but they both were smiling like crazy. Talking non stop, Andrea knew that McKenna couldn't really hear that well but she was trying.

She noticed the men quietly signing between each other. She knew enough signs to work out that they were excited because it was their little girl that was signing and playing with hers. More parents arrived, a buzzer went and lights flashed showing that it was the end of the day, Andrea opened the door and headed inside the class followed by other parents. McKenna ran for her mom and dragged her over to meet her friend.

"Autumn... my new friend... can we go play at the park?" McKenna tried to sign, Andrea had promise to take her to the park after school. Andrea glanced over at the brothers and could see Autumn talking one hundred miles an hour to the men. Carol couldn't work out who the father was. She was talking non stop about going to the park to Daryl and glancing at Merle as Daryl appeared to be signing what she was asking to his brother. Then Autumn made the sign for 'Daddy,' Merle bent down and scooped her up planting a kiss on her cheek holding her close. He carried her over to the teacher and signed briefly to find out about her day. Andrea turned back to talk to her daughter.

"I will ask... ok, " she tried to sign and McKenna's eye's dropped to Andrea's mouth. She went to talk to the teacher about McKenna's first day, she glanced up at Merle as he turned back towards her to head out the door, she signed "Wait... please." He stood back watching Andrea talk to the teacher without signing she talked quickly smiled and turned back towards Merle.

She didn't know the sign but she knew the letters, "P...A...R...K?" she signed. "Now?" Andrea was flustered because McKenna and Autumn started jumping around holding hands around in a circle waiting for Merle to decide. He cast a glance back to his brother who shrugged.

"I got stuff to do but Merle... you go with Andrea," Daryl made a waving sign down like flowing hair, he'd just named Andrea... or maybe Merle had. She'd seen him making that sign to Daryl as they walked towards the classroom, he'd also been using the sign for 'hot' Andrea blushed when she tried to remember the other signs the brothers used. They had been talking about her she quickly realized. She blushed. Merle finally nodded. He agreed to take her to the park.

Andrea left the school with McKenna promising to meet up with Merle and Autumn in ten minutes. Daryl told her that Merle would bring some coffee's over from the garage if they went to the park near their place. Andrea nodded and the next thing she knew she was going on a play date with the sexy deaf dude.
