Rachel opened her office door to find Eddie flat out sleeping on the sofa with Lucy on his chest. Sally laughed at the site but Rachel's heart melted. Rachel instructed Sally to take a photo which she did with the phone before quickly uploading it to her mothers laptop. Rachel took Lucy off of him and put her in the car seat instructing Sally to watch this. Sally thought that this must be highly amusing so she took out her phone again and pressed record. Rachel walked quietly of to Eddie before kneeling by his head before shouting in his ear,"Mr Lawson Wake up you lazy so and so!" Which startled Eddie out of his sleep and bolt straight up right putting his hand to his chest,"god Rach why'd you do that?" Rachel shook her head.
"Because you were sleeping. I could have jumped on you instead but that would've been unfair," she added before attending a crying Lucy. Sally stood there laughing at the interaction between her mum and Eddie after putting her phone away. "What are you laughing at?" Eddie asked still half asleep. "You obviously," she replied cheekily.
"Anyway why aren't you in lesson?" Eddie asked not knowing why she was there. "Mum'll explain at home," Sally explained as Rachel nodded. The bell for next lesson rang,"right I best be off to my next lesson I heard my teachers a bit of an nag," Sally said dead seriously. "Who is it?" Rachel asked.
"Mr Lawson,"she said skipping out of her mothers office as Rachel laughed and Eddie sat there confused.
Eddie arrived at his lesson to see Sally smirk at him because of her recent comment. "Right if she's joking about me being a nag I'll prove her right," he thought to himself. Eddie made his way down the classroom rubbing his face,"tired sir?" He recognised the voice straight away and looked at her,"yes Sally Eva Fenshaw I'm tired now collect the text books and hand them out," Sally did as she was told. Eddie started setting work when he was asked questions about her daughter,"Sir what's your daughters name?" One student asked this class didn't know about the information Sally gave earlier. "Lucy, ok let's get these questions out of the way,"Eddie sighed as he sat down at his desk. "When was she born?"
"Fourth of August," Sally sat smiling at Eddie who shook his head and looked for the next question." Are you two living together now?"
"Yes but only because it's easier for both of us. We are not together," he said sternly. "Why aren't you and Miss Mason together?" Sally's expression perked up at this question and Eddie stood there thinking of what to say. "That's none of your business," Eddie decided to say but Sally thought she could use her position to get the answer,"but sir it kind of is." Eddie raised an eyebrow at her. "You're exactly like your mother,let's just hope you haven't got her temper," Eddie said pointing at her. "Oh much to your dismay I have and it's ten times worst. How do you mean sir?" Everyone was confused on how Eddie knew Sally's mother but thy enjoyed the banter,"you persist on everything until you get the answer you want. Now get on with your work." Sally shook her head and started to work when Eddie went up to Sally and whispered to her,"you want the answer to that question?" Sally nodded.
"You'll have to ask your mother," he replied with a cheeky grin. "So mum was right," she whispered to herself. "Right about what?" Eddie asked suspiciously. "That you are a lazy so and so for not answering the question," she laughed which the class notice. Eddie walked away and sat at his desk. The class still didn't know how Eddie knew Sally's mother. Phoebe was sat next to Sally,"what did Lawson want?" She asked curiously. "Nothing don't worry," Sally brushed it off and carried on with her work. But Zack and a few other kids in the corner to the right wanted to know how Sally and Mr Lawson already now each other,"sir how do you know Sally's mum?" Eddie looked at Sally,"it's alright some kids already know anyway."
"You sure?"
"That's what we were talking about earlier," she said looking back at him. "I know Sally's mother because Sally's mother is Miss Mason," Eddie explained looking only at Sally who was still working. "No way," half the class responded as Sally kept her head down."Yes way just get on with your work," Eddie shouted as they still whispered about the new piece of gossip. "So you're living with the head and deputy of this school?" Phoebe asked Sally still unable to believe it,"yes I do can we leave it now?" Phoebe nodded her head as everyone got on with their work.
