The office was very different to Rachel's. It was a lot bigger but more professional an as if hers was like that it would scare the daylights out of her students. The office was black and grey and in the middle was a desk with a lot less paperwork on it. Rachel and Sally sat down on the sofa in the back of the room. "Rach I'll wait outside for you," Eddie said and took a seat on the seats outside the office as did Joanna. "Mum who's that?"
"That's Eddie Lawson he's my deputy head and the father of my child," she said looking at Lucy. "He seems nice are you two together?" Rachel shook her head.
"My staff did some matchmaking by getting us very drunk," Rachel explained to her daughter who snuggled into the side. "Can I come back with you? I hate it here," she finally said. "Of course you can. Why didn't you tell me before?" Rachel asked a little concerned. "Because aunt Mel would check what I'd write to you," she said timidly whilst Rachel stroked her hair. "Oh love I'm sorry. We'll get you enrolled in Waterloo Road come September and me and Eddie will sort your room out and Eddie's moving in come summer holidays to help out," Rachel explained to her mother. "Ok," she said hugging her mother tighter. "I've got something to give you which I've been desperate to do since I last saw you," Rachel looked her daughter in her eye and got the locket out of her handbag. Rachel handed the box to Sally who opened it and they both cried. Eddie knocked on the door and entered whilst walking over to the two. Sally smiled at Eddie,"nice to meet you," Sally said. "It's very nice to meet you too," Eddie replied smiling at her. "Sally's going to come to Waterloo Road," Rachel beamed.
"Is she now? Well there's some things you'd have to know about the headmistress she's stubborn and bossy..." Rachel glared at him whilst Sally laughed. "Anything else about me?" Rachel said trying to hide the smile on her face. "Nope that's just about it," he smiled a cheeky grin. "But the deputy is far worst! He's lazy,informal and can't stand being wrong," Rachel bit back as the three of them laughed. "Ok a couple of things no one knows about me being pregnant or that it's even Eddie's or about my past so you've got to keep it quiet,"Rachel explained to her daughter. "How don't they know that you're pregnant it's obvious!" Sally exclaimed which made Rachel giggle. "I'm good at hiding things," she said hugging her daughter. "Too good," Eddie commented,"let's go home," he finished as they left the office after telling Joanna who was understanding.
The three were in a taxi,"is Mel home?" Rachel asked Sally. "Not that I know of. She might be," Sally said unsure. Rachel looked at her and she knew there would be an argument either way and Rachel did have legal rights over her daughter. "Ok we'll go and get your stuff," Rachel said wrapping her arm around her daughter. When they arrived at Melissa to their surprise she was in. Rachel and Sally walked up to the door as Sally opened it and Rachel followed her. Sally rushed upstairs to go and pack whilst Rachel went into the living room finding Mel sprawled out on the sofa watching telly,"hi Mel." Mel jumped up at the sound of the voice to face her older sister,"what...what are you doing here?" Melissa asked completely confused." Come to see Sally," Rachel said as if to say why else would I be here? "But she's in school," Mel asked.
"No she isn't she's upstairs packing," Rachel corrected her. "Why she packing?"
"She's coming to live with me," Rachel said happily which was the complete opposite to Mel. "You don't have the right!" She shouted. "Yes I do Melissa I've got the documents! Anyway you get your life back now so it doesn't matter!" Rachel said storming upstairs to find her daughter had finished packing and was trying to haul it down the stairs. Rachel took it off her and instructed her to run to the taxi and stay with Eddie because Mel would try and stop her. Sally did so and breathed a sigh of relief when she was in the taxi. Rachel exited a few minutes later with the suitcase luckily unharmed.
