Rachel's POV
Monday came soon enough and I had already been dived straight into the drama. There had been a baby found buried on the school grounds! Excellent, just what I need. I could tell that there was something bothering Eddie in this. Waiting for the detectives to leave, I pinned him down for questioning. "Truth is, I was a father of a son with my ex-wife. He died. Cot Death. She went off the rails after that. That's how our divorce began." I felt sorry for my man. "Oh Eddie, come here." I gestured sympathetically, embracing him. Feeling his hands round my waist made me realise how much I loved him. Kissing him quickly before attending the door, I noticed it was Kim on the outside. "Kim! Oh come in?" I asked politely. She looked panicked. "Is Faith off sick today?" She asked frantically. "No, why would she be?" I looked at Eddie, confused. "Oh, it's just she hasn't attended any of my lessons this morning. Or Toms." I looked at Eddie, only for him to return the same concerned look. "You stay here, I'll go and look for her." Eddie reassured. "She'll be okay Rache."
Eddie's POV
Searching high and low for a daughter of mine, I finally found her on the furthest bench from the School. "Mind if I join you?" I asked tenderly. She had been crying. "Hey, darling, what's wrong?" I was worried about what had startled her this much. "Just the baby and the police being here and asking lots of questions and I can't handle them and I know." She burst out rather quickly. "You know what, darling? It's okay, you can tell me." I tried to reassure. "It's one of my dads." She said point blank, shocking me. "How? How do you know?" I approached slowly, trying to figure it out. "It was with one of his hookers when I was younger. The baby was stillborn. Not at hospital tho. Dad wanted to get rid of all evidence of the baby, so buried it. He told me I should have died too, but I was apparently one of the 'lucky ones'. It haunts me day in day out, but it's something I've never wanted to tell you. I'm sorry Eddie." She stated, doing her best to be personal on school grounds. "It's alright darling, but we are going to have to tell your mum alright?" She nodded, allowing me to wrap my arm round her shoulders and guide her inside.
Watching my daughter tell Rachel wasn't easy, for both of them. Faith needed reassurance and Rachel needed support. I could give them both that.
