Rachel popped her head into Bolton's room, Bolton looked over at the door hearing it open then smiled at Rachel softly before looking down at his aftershave and unscrewed the lid

"I'm going now if you want a lift?"

Bolton smiled as he applied the aftershave onto his skin then lifted his bag "Yeah. Sure I don't see why not"

"You smell nice"

"Thank you its..." he spoke softly before thinking to see what the aftershave was called and checked the bottle

"whatever it is, it smells nice" Rachel smiled

"David Beckham" he said with a smile

"I brought that for you"

"Yeah you did"

"I knew you liked it, so I had to buy it for you"

"Aww, Its amazing"

Rachel nodded "Where has that little batman got to" she asked with a smile

"Well I a little bum go down the stairs"

"I'll meet you in the car"

"Okay" Bolton smiled at her again but more softly

"Oh, little batman told me that your phone kept going off last night, I don't think he got enough sleep"

"Oh shit I'm sorry"

"Hey it's fine"

Bolton looked at his phone seeing he had lot of messages, he didn't bother to read them he sighed , Rachel looked over giving him her concerned look but wasn't going to ask about the messages

"I'm here if you want to talk"

Bolt looked over at her "Thanks"

"You're welcome" she said softly before going downstairs seeing Dean on the bottom step and smiled "Let's go batman"

Dean got up and waited by the the front door for Rachel and Bolton, Bolt came down a few seconds after Rachel, she walked over to the door and picked up her bag and the car key and gently picked up Dean and went to the car unlocking it and placed Dean in his car seat and belted him in before getting into the drivers seat, Bolt walked out the house and made sure the front door was locked before he got into the passengers seat.

"Who's the new Headteacher?" Rachel asked thinking if she was doing the right thing about going back to the school where she hadn't stepped foot in for the last three years

Bolton looked at her "I don't know her name"

"Ah, that's okay, How old is she?"

"She's in her 50's"

Rachel nodded with a smile as she started to drive to the school, Bolton sat back and thought about things, They soon got to the school and Rachel pulled up into the car park before looking over at Bolton again "You should go in first"

Bolton nodded and unclipped his seatbelt and got out "It's okay, I'm going round the back anyway"

"Yeah that's fine, Does Chris still work here?"

Bolton Looked at her for a moment "Yeah I think so , I hardly go to any of my classes now... So yeah" he replied lifting his bag from the seat.

Rachel watched him go with a little smile and then looked into the review mirror seeing Dean who was fast asleep, she smiled to herself again and got out lifting her bags then lifting Dean out the car making sure his head was on her shoulder. Once she got Dean comfortable she locked the car and walked towards the main entrance

Bolton was around the back waiting for Paul soon made his way round the back and gave Bolton a smile.

"Got any cigarettes? Bolton asked while looking at Paul,Before Paul handing him one , Bolt lit it up and began to smoke it"

Paul looked and knew something wasn't right "Is everything okay?"

"Yep" he replied bluntly as he took another drag

"Are you sure?"

He sighed and looked at him "Well Rachel appeared home last night with my Three year old boy" he then took another drag of the cigarette , Bolton had recently been diagnosed with depression just a few months after Rachel left

"I bet that didn't go down too well?"

"Yep"

"What about Michaela?"

" I got a message this morning saying that she's breaking up with me... She must of known that Rachel was coming back... It's no like I'd do something like that" he replied smoking the rest of the cigarette before stubbing it out once he had finished.

Paul nodded "You got yourself into an awkward situation, I'm sure Rach came back because she missed you?" he paused for a second "So who does your little boy look like out of you and Rach?"

"Tell me about it can't be arsed, Yeah she said all this stuff last night and we had an argument but Dean my little boy keeps thinking that we are getting back together..." he sighed again "Well he has Rachel's eyes and nose but looks more like a double of me, like a mini me"

Paul nodded listening to his best friend "Do you still love her?"

"I don't know Paul, I really don't"

"I'm just glad that Rachel came home safe" Paul nodded softly at him , Bolt looked in to his pockets of his bag for his medication, before taking them

Rachel had walked into the building and stopped to have a look around when she accidently bumped into Kim, Kim looked up "hey watch where your going.." she said before looking up seeing it was Rachel who had bumped into her "Rach Your back!" giving her a smile

"Sorry, Hey, Yeah..." she paused "Yeah I am" she returned the smile

"I haven't seen you in a while.."

"Well its been about three years..."

"Yeah it has, I'm just glad that your back though" she replied while looking at Dean "Who's this little one?"

"Your the only one that's happy to see me... " She paused as she gently pushed Dean back on to her chest and shoulder "Oh this is my son... Dean.."

"really? how come?" she smiled as she stroked Deans little head "He's adorable"

"I ergh, I came back last night, Bolton wasn't happy, we had this big argument..." she kissed Deans head as he moved a little to get more comfy on her shoulder "Yeah he is and he looks just like his dad"

"Oh god , maybe you two should sit down and talk just to work something out even if its just for Dean, You don't want him to grow up without his dad Rach" Kim spoke softly as Dean was still sound asleep cuddled in on Rachel's shoulder

"You should see the way he is with him, its cute but Dean thinks we're getting back together ans it breaks my heart"

"Aww that's so sweet" she smiled "Really? He just wants his little family I bet, I know I had something to tell you about Bolton, I really don't know how to tell you this Rach" Kim spoke honestly

"Is it something to do with depression? He slightly mentioned it in the argument last night"

"yes that and there's anger problems to, I'm not saying that he will hurt Dean but just watch him around him as if he was playing a game , like in a mission and Dean runs in and jumps on him, He could shout and scare him... I don't mean any harm I just wanted to tell you"

That's fair enough, This place hasn't changed?"

"No not really just that its got boring without you, I think everyone can't wait for you till your back... Well I know one person... Chris , He can't wait"

Rachel smiled softly and nodded at her best friend before asking her a slightly important question "Did Stuart say anything to the kids?"

"Yeah, he told the kids... and they attacked him" Kim laughed softly

" I would of loved to see that... but I properly would have made it worse..."

"Rach they love you , They want you back as head"

"what about the new headteacher?"

"Well truth be told …. she can't control them"

"So I'm the only one that can?"

"Yeah you are, Watch they are going to get on with Dean so well"

"Yeah? Well I'm ready to get back to where I left off"

Kim smiled more gently at Rachel "That's good"

"I guess I'll see you in assembly?"

"Yeah of course"

Rachel made her way to the office, The LEA knew that she was coming back, and they gave her old job back after having a few meetings about why Rachel had ran off like she did, Bolton was sat at the back watching everyone, Rachel put her stuff down on the desk and gently put Dean down on the sofa and told Bridget to look after him while she went down to the assembly , Nobody was excepting her to be standing on the stage. Bridget gave a soft nod at her to say that she would look after him.

Rachel made her way down to the hall, Bolton didn't go to the assembly instead he hung around around the old part of the school, Rachel sighed bur also knew that he didn't want to see her, Bolt sat on on the window ledge and looked at his phone, he went onto his Facebook as Rachel was in the hall apologising for leaving them like she did and also made the Assembly short and sweet then dismissed everyone, As Rachel was dismissing everyone Bolton had sent a text to Paul,

"Hey,I'm going home, Can't be arsed, ill see you later" he sent and got up from the window ledge

"what about Dean?" Paul texted back

"I'll see him later"

"but Rachel gave you some time off your lessons to look after him"

"I just can't be arsed with school any-more, and Rachel never told me about that.." he sent and walked up to the car park

Rachel had returned to the office, but got stopped but Janeece and Maxine as Dean woke and wanted his Dad so he went to find him on his own, he made his way though the crowds of students which was also scaring him and had managed to get passed Rachel, Dean found a door which lead him to the playground so he went out side and saw Bolton

"daddy!" Dean shouted as loud as he could and was also about to cry

Bolton heard his little voice and turned around seeing him and headed towards the three year old "How did you get here little man?"

"I went to explore... well I wanted you and got lost...Where are you going?"

Bolton nodded as he got on his knees to at the same level of the three year old "Home.." he then lifted him up and held him "Where's your mum?"

"she was talking to two people... I don't know their names but she told another woman to look after me because she has to disappear... and I got scared"

"what do you mean disappear?"

"like she has to talk to very important people.."

Bolton nodded again "Oh, you mean Meetings"

"yeah daddy that"

Bolton smiled softly as he found Dean describing things cute and kissed his head "You wanna stay with me"

"Please daddy?"

"Yeah of course you can" he held him close to him and looked through the window at Paul to tell him to come out side, Everyone looked at Bolton as he was holding Dean. Paul soon came out on to the playground and went up to Bolton

"hey little man"

Dean hide his little face into Bolton's next getting shy "Dean, this is Paul, He's my best friend , you don't have to shy" Dean nodded a little before lifting his head up and looked at Paul "Hi!"

Paul smiled at Dean "Aww, he's such a cutie"

Bolton smiled softy and nodded " he is indeed!" Dean looked up at Paul again then at Bolton

"Daddy! Me want to play with car"

he looked at his son with another smile "Come on then lets go find your toy car" Bolt spoke softly , Rachel was now pacing the Office floor thinking of where Dean would had gotten to, she had asked all the members of her staff but no-one had seen him. Bolton smiled seeing how cute Dean was being with Paul, Rachel was busy sat her desk looking through the CCTV and signing some park work, Dean's toy car was on the desk, Bolton and Paul was by the cooler as Dean Ran ahead of them, Dean opened the door and ran in and jumped on to the chair and got his car, as he lifted the toy car he knocked Rachel's drink over.

"Dean! Watch what your doing!" she shouted but never meant to, Dean looked at her for a few moments before jumping off the chair and ran out the office in tears

Rachel took a moment to realise that she had shouted at him "Dean.." she said as e watched him run out the room , He bumped into Kim who then picked him up

"What's up little lad?"

Dean looked at her with tears running down his little face "M...Mummy shouted at me" he hiccuped

"hey I'm sure that she didn't mean to"

Dean sniffed and looked at her "I want my daddy"

"Come on lets go find him" she said softly as she held him and softly wiped his tears away, Dean held onto her and hiccuped

"You can call me auntie Kim if want"

he looked up at her confused , he looked like a double of Bolton "what's an auntie?"

"An auntie is what kids call their parents sisters or their best friends"

He nodded cutely and hugged her more , Kim kissed his head and walked him to the cooler seeing Bolton "Can I have a word?"

Bolton looked a little confused "Yeah sure"

"I think Rach shouted at Dean"

"What for? Is he okay?"

"He's fine , I think he knocked Rachel's drink over and it went all over the paper work"

"Oh god, want me to take him?" he asked as Dean rubbed his eyes and held out his little arms for Bolton

"He wants you anyway" she said passing him over to young father, Bolton held him close

"Hey, Shush its okay , I'm here, Daddy's here" the three year old cuddled into Bolton

"You two can sit in my office if you want somewhere quiet , \Just don't make it a mess" she smiled more softly as Dean looked at her again "The offer is there honey"

"Yes please And we won't we promise" dead spoke cutely and blow Kim a kiss

"Your a cutie, I best get on"

"Me love you auntie Kim" he giggled

"I love you to"

Both Kim,Bolton and Dean smiled at each other before Kim decided to walk away, Bolt soon took him to Kim's office and sat him down on the floor so he could play with his toy car,
