Chapter 7

A few months later...

"Simon!" said Sue excitedly running down the stairs.
"Careful!" said Simon "You don't want to slip and hurt that thing"
"Thing" said Sue "Your calling our baby a thing"
"Words got mixed up" said Simon "Sorry"
"Baby scan today" Sue said excitedly while she rubbed her baby bump "Going to find out if our baby is a boy or girl"
Simon just ignored Sue and sat in the living room with his hands on his head. He was fed up with this baby stuff already. He wasn't even sure he wanted to be a dad anymore.

Meanwhile at Vix's house Nikki and Vix and Nikki were laying in bed together kissing and snogging after what had been a long night.
"Hmm" said Vix ruffling her hands in Nikki's hair "Better get up it's time for work"
"Yep" said Nikki getting up "Better get ready"
Vix got up as her phone started vibrating. She checked her phone to see a text.
"Who's that?" asked Nikki.
"Sue" said Vix showing Nikki her phone "She's all excited about this baby scan"
"Oh really" said Nikki not surprised "When is it?"
"Today" said Vix "After lunchtime at Waterloo Road"
"Her bumps getting quite big" said Nikki "Sure she's not having twins?"
"No" laughed Vix "Her previous scan months before showed that it was only one baby"
"Aww" said Nikki giving Vix yet another kiss.

"Christine, Christine!" said Sue walking towards Christine in the staff room. All the staff were sitting down drinking tea or coffee before the first period.
"Oh here comes the mother to be" mumbled George "Unfortunately"
Sue gave George a dirty look but carried on speaking "Today is my baby scan, so I won't be here this afternoon"
"Ok that's fine" said Christine "Excited?"
"Yes" said Sue "I'm going to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl, but I don't mind"
"Don't see what the big deal is" said George "Not like the baby would want you as it's mom"
"Or you as it's dad" laughed Vix.
"Your lucky that you didn't get fired for that rumour" said George "Stupid woman"
"Yes" said Nikki "Because she can actually teach her subject"
"Whatever" said George "Not like Mr Lousy is excited about this baby"
"He actually isn't" said Vix "Look at him he doesn't even want to get involved in our conversation
Nikki, George and Christine all glanced at Simon who was having a conversation with the other teachers about football or something.
"What did you just say?" asked Sue who wasn't really listening.
"Oh nothing" said Vix "Why don't you talk about the baby to Simon or something"
"I don't know..." said Sue "He never seems interested"
"As I was saying" said George.

It was yet another lesson of Biology with year 6 for Sue.
"Oh Miss" said Dynasty "Not trying to offend you or anything, but your belly if getting big"
"Must be too many cakes!" laughed Barry as he looked at Rhiannon who gave him a dirty look.
"No" said Sue who decided it was time to tell the class "I'm having a baby and I'm going for a scan after lunch"
"Aww" said Dynasty wishing she had kids with Kevin, but it was a bit to early for that.
"What?!" said Rhiannon "I thought Mrs Mulgrew said the rumour was false, she said you weren't preggers"
"Yeah" said Sue "Not with Mr Windsor"
"Whatever" said Barry "We all know you and George Windsor slept together"
"You don't know anything Barry" said Sue "At least I don't go stealing my own sister's money"
That shut him up.
"Miss do you want a boy or a girl?" asked Kevin.
"Girl, that's what I would want" said Dynasty
"Well..." said Sue "I really don't mind"

Lunch time was nearly over and Sue was walking to Simon.
"Come on Simon" said Sue "It's time for the scan"
"Sorry Sue" said Simon "But I'm really busy and I have classes to teach all afternoon"
"But you have to come and see" said Sue "Besides who's going to drop me off?"
"Erm" said Simon "Ask Vix or somebody, pretty sure she has a lot of free periods this afternoon"
Sue walked away trying to hide her tears. She approached Vix and Nikki.
"Oh Sue" said Vix noticing that she'd just been crying "What's wrong? Don't you have a baby scan to go to?"
"You'll have to take me" said Sue "Simon doesn't want to take me"
"What an idiot" said Vix "I mean sorry that came out wrong. I'll take you Sue let me just tell Christine that I'm going"
"Thanks sis" said Sue
"See you Nikki" said Vix giving Nikki and small kiss and hug and hoping the students were not looking "Love you"
"Love you too" whispered Nikki "And good luck Sue"
"Thanks" said Sue "Bye Nikki"

Vix and Sue headed towards Christine's office.
"Sorry Sonya but I need a quick word with Christine" said Vix "I'm taking Sue to the baby scan"
"What?" said Sonya "Isn't Simon supposed to?"
"He doesn't want to" Sue said.
"Aww" Sonya came to Sue giving her a hug "Don't cry"
"I'm ok I guess" said Sue.
Christine came out her office.
"What's going on here?" said asked "Thought you were going now Sue"
"Well we are" said Vix "I'm taking her so I won't be here this afternoon just to let you know"
"It's fine" said Christine "I'm surprised Simon isn't going"
"I am too" said Sue "it's not fair"
"It's ridicules" said Vix "He should be there for you"
"And your child" said Christine "It's his first child too"
"Well" said Sue "We better get going, goodbye"

Sue and Vix were at the hospital. Sue was having her baby scan.
"Aww how adorable" smiled Vix.
"Yes very cute" said the nurse.
"So is it a boy or a girl?" asked Sue.
"It's a cute little girl" said the nurse.
Sue smiled, she was happy to have a girl to dress up in pretty pink dresses and read stories about princesses to.
"So?" said the nurse "Where's your husband? He came to the last scan"
"Well he's a bit ill" lied Sue.
"Aww" said the nurse "Hope he get's well soon. This news will probably cheer him up"
"Looks like the baby is healthy" said Vix.
"Yes it is" said the nurse "You must be very excited"
"I am" said Sue "Shame Simon isn't"
"Huh who?" asked the nurse.
"Oh nobody" said Vix "She was joking about this guy"
"Oh ok" smiled the nurse.
