Hello! I'm a bit rusty on this fic but I'm doing my best, just let me know if I've made any mistakes to the storylines or whatever because I haven't been keeping up with Waterloo Road since Sian/Lorraine left etc.. so bare with me hahaha!

Oh also, seeing as most of the characters this is framed around are not in it or whatever anymore, I'm thinking off ending this fic on the next chapter so 10 chapters then it'll be completed, I've totally lost all my mojo for this fic and it's becoming so rubbish :( don't hold me to it but if I can't think of any decent storylines then it'll be over, I'm sorry but I do have other fics on the go (my other waterloo road one which I will also need to finish) and others so please, keep following and if you have any ideas for storys, let me know. Thank you, Emily xo


Lorraine was starting to show now, her stomach slowly getting bigger and bigger, she couldn't hide this anymore so she had to start telling people.

"Nikki?" Lorraine looked over her lying next to her in the bed.

"Baby?"

"We need to start telling people" Lorraine said looking at her stomach and placing her hands on it. "We can't hide this anymore"

"I agree, but how?" Nikki took hold of Lorraine's hand.

"I don't know.." Lorraine looked away.

"It'll be okay, they'll understand"

"Really?" Nikki nodded. "They're gonna understand that I went out on the lash, on my own, brought home a complete stranger and had a one night stand then I was stupid enough to get myself pregnant when in fact I have feelings for another girl who I love to death and oh it gets better, that girl is a teacher at school, it's you!"

"Don't talk like that, it will be okay, our love is stronger than anything they will throw at us"

They both got out of bed and Lorraine wanting to wear her lovely black dress had to stick to a purple skater skirt and a baggy blouse with her hair pinned back. She felt so frumpy.

"You look beautiful" Nikki said as she saw Lorraine looking in the mirror with her hands on her bump.

They both smiled and shared a kiss as they walked out the door to get into separate cars.

"Lorraine!" Michael shouted as she stepped out the car.

"Yes?" They put all what happened behind them and decided to start a fresh although she couldn't ever forgive what happened or what he did to Sian, they had a clean slate.

"How's the new girl, Jenna getting on?"

"She's doing really well yeah, getting settled in and making friends with Maddi and Josh etc.. so she should be fine yes" Lorraine smiled.

"And how are you?"

"I'm not too bad"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course" She smiled and walked of towards Nikki.

"We have to tell people, it's getting ridiculous now, I can't keep trying to hide this baby, it's getting too big, I'm at least 12 weeks now, we have the scan tomorrow afternoon so they're gonna wanna know why we're both running off to something, together"

"We'll call a staff meeting, okay?"

"Okay"

"We'll get though this, I promise"

"Pinky?"

"Pinky."

They went up to the staff room and held their breath as they walked through the doors.

"Guys" Lorraine started. "I have something to tell you all"

"Let me guess, you're buying a new house or a new car with all the money you own" Grantly made a remark.

"No, not that, it's something that you're gonna start whispering about if I don't tell you sooner or later"

"Spit it out then"

"I'm pregnant"

Everyone's mouths fell open, they didn't expect that. Lorraine looked at everyone and still had to tell them that her and Nikki were together.

"Pregnant?!" Sian said, "why didn't you tell me?"

"I was going too, but I couldn't, I didn't know how"

"I'm dead happy for you!" Sian hugged Lorraine.

"Thank you"

"How though? You haven't got a fella now have you?"

"No, not as such..." Lorraine looked a Nikki, she nodded as she gave her approvement, she was with her whatever happened.

"Then what?"

"Me and Nikki, we're together"

Then they just left the room and walked out, they didn't know how people were going to react, they hoped that some would be acceptable.

A few hours later it was all around the school, some pupil had been listening and told everyone. Some respected them and some made fun of them, calling them names but they knew it would soon die down and be forgotten about. They just wanted to get on with their lives and seeing as they had a baby on the way, they decided to make some plans.

Late that evening, they sat at home making plans.

"Babe" Lorraine said twisting her head to take the drink from Nikki as she sat down next to her.

"Yes?"

"Are we happy here?" Nikki looked in disbelief.

"I am, are you?"

"I'm thinking we need a fresh start to bring up this baby, I don't want to have the baby here then get stared at. I want to live in peace, I don't feel I can do that here!"

"I understand babe, but where shall we go?" Nikki winked.

"How about somewhere abroad, somewhere hot, somewhere where there's always a hot summer and always a cold winter"

"Am I thinking what you're thinking?"

"Australia!" They both said at the same time.

"Really?"

"Yes"

"Are we gonna do this, really?"

"I'm deadly serious, I have to get away and I want you with me, I love you so much Nikki, I'd do anything to stay with you, you're my world and you've been so so supportive and I can't lose you"

"Babe, I'm with you every step of the way, that bump is getting to almost a stage where you won't be able to fly soon, so we either go in a few weeks, yes weeks, or we wait till next summer when the baby is here and he or she has their own passport. It's up to you babe but I've got you. I love you"

That was that, they made plans and got the wheels in motion. They had some serious planning to do!
