"Well, why don't you moving into mine, Ive got a spare room for the baby and we could take it in turns to sleep on the sofa. Also, that way I would be able to see her more."
"Well, umm, if your sure." Linda said happily
"Yh, I'm sure, its going to be great." He smiled and put his arm round her as the went shopping for baby things...
"Right, everyone who has brought there slips back to say they can come go over there, if not go over to Mr Wilding's classroom so he can give you some jobs to do while were gone." Called Michael to all the chosen pupils in the hall.
The remaining 20 odd pupils fro a list of 25 got on the coach and we off to Scotland's adventure retreat centre to help them bond and to get rid of the gang problems
"Everyone, take a look at the sheet as you get of the bus and have a look at what teams your in the stand by the teachers so I can tell you what to do."
They all piled of the bus and lining up in there groups. In each group was 2 teachers and 5 pupils.
In teachers were Linda and Grantley, Tom and Sian, Michael and Christine and chalky and Kelly (The new PE teacher).
"Right, everyone. Emily and Scout will you stop talking! Thank you, so what is going to happen is everyone in your team Will be chained together and left at the start of the forest, then you must use your map to find the clues to get you to the end. The winners will get a prise!
They all got chained up and were at the starting point ready to go.
"Remind me why were doing this again?" mumbled Grantley to Linda.
"To help Michael and the gang problem or in your case for a day off work and the free drinks Michael promised you when we get home."
"Well, that's if we get home. I bet well be stuck out here all night with this lot."
"Positive thinking!"
"I give it 3 hours, stopping for lunch then 2 hours then your phoning someone to get us."
"what ever" Linda smiled.
"Ready, steady, go!" said the man who works there.
They were off 2 hours in everyone in Linda's group was arguing and had to stop.
"No its this way" Yelled Emily tugging the chains to the right.
"No, its defo to the left" Argued Fin "Look there's the arrow.
The other groups were having better luck, Michael and Chalky's groups were over halfway there and Toms group was just behind.
"Thats it were stopping for lunch" Said Grantley sitting down on the floor refusing to get up.
"No Sir, were behind we cant stop now. Miss, tell him!" Yelled Tariq.
"No he's right. Its 2 o clock and the younger ones are getting tired and hungry." Said Linda. "And I need the toilet" She said putting Grantley of his sandwiches.
It was 3.30 and 2 groups had already finished with Chalky's group winning!
Linda and Grantley's group had nearly caught up with Tom and Sians.
"Miss, were tired" Moaned everyone including Grantley.
"Same but were nearly there now." Linda said wishing she didn't come as her feet and belly was hurting and wanted to sit down for her and the baby's sake.
Sian saw Linda's group catching up and thought of a brilliant plan to get Linda back. She changed one of the arrows just as she turned the corner.
10 Minutes later Linda declared them lost.
"I'll ring Michael to come find us" said Linda sitting down on a log. "Oh dear!"
"What is it?" asked Grantley looking as worried as the kids.
"There's no signal."
"What we gonna do then?" asked Finn
"HELP!" called Tariq shouting as Loud as he could.
"Do shut up boy" Said Grantley "They wont be able to hear us said Grantley but he was wrong.
"Can you hear someone?" Asked Sian
"Yh, someones calling for help." Said Kelly "I bet its Linda and Grantley's group, they should be back by now."
"Right, Kelly, Chalky and Christine you stay here with the kids, the rest of us well go looking for them. So Tom, Michael and Sian went to look for them.
A few minutes later they found them.
"Took your time" Said Tariq.
"Sorry" Said Tom undoing the chains to separate them. "You okay" He asked Linda "You look really white.
"No, i feel re.. Ouch!" She said grabbing hold of he bump.
"Oh no" Said Sian, "When are you due?"
Linda shock her head in pain.
"I don't no" Said Michael, "I never asked her."
"Right, well I think she's giving birth, Tom you take the kids back and go call an ambulance, Grantley stay with us!"
"No chance" He said running of after Tom and the Kids.
Linda screamed as a gush of pain riped straight through her little body.
"Right Linda, listen to me, your giving birth so just sit there and keep breathing until Tom comes with help."
"Well, what if he doesn't get here in time" She screamed back to her.
"I'm gonna have to deliver the baby, but its OK I'm a science teacher i no what I'm doing" Sian said reassuringly trying to convince Linda and herself.
