As Dean was sat on the floor in Kim's office playing with his toy cars he looked up at bolton before pulling his little thinking face, he could tell that something was wrong with Bolton but he also knew that he was too young to understand, Bolton was now sitting on the sofa he looked over seeing Dean pull his little thinking face and smiled as it was adorable

"Daddy?" Dean asked while he was looking at his dad

"Yeah bud?"

"Are you okay?"

Bolton froze for a few minutes thinking on what to say to him "Yeah, I'm okay buddy"

"Oh... Me loves you"

"I love you to darling" Bol replied with more of a softer smile, having Dean around made him happy and he was happy that Dean was happy to. Dean soon looked away to continue to play with his toy cars. The pair was sat in silence where Dean would laugh to himself occasionally, Bolton who was still sat watching him sat thinking on his future with him and Rachel.

Bolton soon decided to break the silence as he was starting to have negative thoughts, the silence had filled the office.

"Guess what buddy?"

Dean turned to look at him again "What daddy?"

"I love you millions"

"I love you more daddy"

"I love you way more prince" he replied picking him up and putting him onto his lap holding him close to his chest , Dean smiled again before cuddling into him getting comfortable

"Daddy can I sleep with you again?"

"Of course you can buddy"

"Your bed is really comfy"

"Aw bud, I'm glad you like it"

"Mummy likes your bed to.. she told me"

"Oh does she?"

Bolton gave him a little smirk, Dean didn't know how to answer Bolt's question so he just shrugged his little shoulders, Bolton knew that he didn't know the answer so he decided to change the subject.

"Wanna go see Mummy, I'm sure that she would wanted to see you"

Dean shook his little head to say no to him "Mummy scary today"

Bolton kissed his head before speaking again "Did you want me to tell her off?"

Dean nodded in response of the question, Bolton continued to cuddle him to reassure him that everything was going to be okay

"You do know that your my favourite boy?" he replied while lifting Dean up and taking him up to Rachel's office, When the pair got the office there was a note on the door that Rachel had hand written at this point Bolton had already read it before looking down at Dean who didn't know what it said

"What does it say daddy?

"It says that Mummy has gone out for an important meeting and to call her if something serious happens"

"Oh.. so we see her later?

"Of course we will baby"

Bolton kissed his little cheek seeing that he was going to be sad if he put him in the crèche so he thought for a second " Wanna come to my lessons?"

"Yeah daddy, I wanna meet all your friends" he replied cutely

Bolton held him close and carried him down to his drama class, he didn't want to put him down as he might get lost with the other students that was out in the corridors.

"Me kick Mickey's bottom?"

Bolton looked at him a little confused as he didn't know who Dean meant by Mickey until he clicked as realised he was talking about Michaela , he nodded in agreement "of course you can buddy

The pair finally made it down to his drama class where Dean took a look around "Who's in your class daddy?"

"Well theres me, Paul,Finn,Josh,Jonah,Danielle,Aleesha, Michaela and a few others" he replied before going over and sat next to Paul

"eww Michaela"

both Paul and Bolton laughed at Dean's comment before looking at them both "High five"

Dean gave them both a high five before he watched Paul for a few moments , Bolton smiled at the pair "Uncle Paul?

"Yeah bud?"

"me love you"

'Aww I love you too" Paul smiled giving him a cuddle before pulling him on to his lap, Michaela was talking to Danielle about Rachel, as she was watching Dean"

"Uncle Paul..cuddles are my favourite!" Dean spoke excitedly

Bolton couldn't help but continue to smile at dean, specially seeing him get all excited

"Their mine to bud" Paul replied softly to him

"Cuddles for everyone apart from bullies like Micky"

everyone started to laugh apart from Michaela after hearing Dean trying to pronounce Michaela's name, Dean got a little shy and hid his face into Paul's coat, Bolton saw and started to stroke his head "hey, its okay buddy" Paul looked down at him seeing his head being hidden in his coat "Oi, you little monster"

Their laughing at me .. I don't like it"

"Hey its because your funny thats all bud"

Dean gave him a little nod "Mickey talking about mummy , me don't like it"

"is she?" Paul handed him back to bolton before looking over at Michaela "Hey..Michaela can you not talk about Rachel when Dean is in the room?

Dean gave him another little nod, Michaela smirked at the three of them "I bet she came back just to dump him on you and then disappear again"

Dean was getting really upset with her comments and was about to burst into tears, Bolton wasn't going to react but seeing Dean about to cry he stepped in "Thats enough!" he soon let go of Dean who ran over and kicked her leg the hardest " I want my mummy!" he spoke with tears running down his little face, he ran back to Bolton who lifted him back up

"You'll pay for that you little brat!" Michaela replied getting up to go over to him , Rachel had kist come back from town , she was walking through the corridors when she heard shouting so she went to investigate and walked into Bolton's drama class

"I think you find you wont" she shouted and the whole class went quite , Bolton was kissing his head and rocking him trying to get him to calm but the moment Dena heard Rachel's voice he lifted his head up "mummy!"

"I suggest that you keep that gob of your's shut when my son is around" she replied walking over to the where bolton, Dean and Paul was, she soon bent down to Dean's level 'hey baby mummy's here now"

"I can do what I want , when I want..." she smirked with a pause "Bolton.. You was great in bed, shame that you missed it Miss mason..." she teased with a wink and another smirk knowing that her and bolton never slept together when they was a couple. Dean sniffed and smiled at Rachel you could see the tear stains on his little cheeks

Rachel stroked his cheeks as she wiped away his tears "Mummy's sorry for shouting at you.. Can you forgive me?" she asked before looking back at Michaela, Rachel was now in her bitchy mood "Well we both know thats a lie, the only person he got into bed was me!"

Dean smiled at Rachel again "me love you"

"Shut up Mich! I didn't touch you like that anyway!" bolton replied

Rachel put her attention back onto Dean "Does my batman want a cuddle?"

"Yes mummy a big cuddle!" he smiled wrapping his arms around her neck, Rachel picked him up and held him close again wiping his tears away. Rachel had her back to micheala so she unaware on what she was going to say or do next , Changing the subject Rachel spoke again "I heard that you've been a very good boy for auntie Kim"

Dean cuddled into her and played with her hair "me always a good boy" he was now calming down in Rachel's arms, he was now happy , Bolton continued to watch Michaela

Seeing that dean had calmed she kissed his head "Your my good boy" She was now happy seeing Dean back to his normal self but was unaware that Michaela was about to do something really stupid

Dean lifted his head off her chest looking up at her "Me kicked Mickey!" he giggled

"Did you baby? Your so brave"

Bolton had now looked away and looked back at Paul as he wanted to talk to him

"Me don't like her mummy, she's trying to steal daddy"

Rachel nodded listening to her son before she responded "Well daddy doesn't like her , he likes me'

Dean smiled while looking at Rach "Daddy loves mummy" Rachel nodded more softer at him

"No he don't! He never did Mason! He just gave you what you really wanted!" Michaela shouted across the room to her which made them both turn to face her, bolton was getting angry but he knew he couldn't do anything while Dean was in the room

"Shut up! You don't know my feelings so stop shit stirring! We loved each other and I... still love h..her"

Dean was getting angry "Shut up! Stop being mean to mummy!"

Rachel rubbed his back softly to try to calm him again "If I wasn't your headteacher I would come over and hit you" she spoke before seeing how angry Bolton and Dean was "Come on, lets go before someone gets hurt"

Oh would you now? Threatening me?" she stood up again "I'd watch what your saying Mason" Michaela spoke with a smirk

"Stop making a fool of yourself and just sit down" bolton was getting really fed up with Michaela's behaviour

"Yes I would and yes I am , I don't take kindly to threats.. if you lay a finger on my son there is going to be hell to pay"

Michaela looked at her as she was really annoyed "Watch your back" Rachel just laughed at her comment , which made Michaela go to hit her but dean lifted his head so Dean took the impacted of michaela's hit instead of Rachel, Everyone gasped as he began to cry really hard instantly. Rachel knew from his cry that he was hurt,

"You bitch! Cooler now!" she shouted at her loudly which scared everyone in the room, Rachel began to rock him slowly to calm him again "shush sweetheart, its okay mummy's here"

Michaela was shocked realising that she had hit dean " I never meant to hit him!"

Bolton gasped and got up going over to Rachel to help her calm him "What the hell! Your sick!"

Dean wouldn't stop crying as he was bleeding from his nose and lip. Michaela grabbed her things making her way to the cooler

Rachel was trying her best not to freak out as she knew that if she did she would make the situation more worse "Bolt.. go and get Kim to cover" she spoke soft with a little smile, she looked at dean "Hey mummy's gonna make it all better"

"Mummy it hurts!" Rachel was doing all she could to calm him, Kim came out her art class after hearing Deans loud cry, bolton went to find her "Miss Campbell?" he asked when he finally found her

"what is it bolton? Whats happened?" she asked seconds before Rachel had came out holding dean very close to her and walking past her quickly while Dean sniffed and held on tightly to Rachel as he was now really scared "Bolt.. ill be in the staff toilets if you need me"

bolton nodded before putting his attention on to Kim "Well rach and Mich was auguring and mich went to hit Rachel but dean looked up at the wrong time so he got the impact of the hit... can you cover the class?"

Kim was shocked before nodding "Oh my god.. of course I can.. you go be with Rach, Dean needs you"

Rachel was now in the staff toilets she had sat Dean on the edge of the sink, she was holding some tissue against his nose trying to make it stop, Dean wouldn't let go of Rachel so he had a tight grip onto her shirt "its okay baby"

"Thank you" he replied before walking up to the staff toilets rubbing his head, he was getting so protective over them, it didn't even take him long.

As Rachel had placed him by the side of the middle sink " I need you to put her head over the sink while mummy gets more tissue" dean shook his head tightening his grip again her shirt "okay ill stay here with you while we wait for daddy"

Within seconds there was a knock at he door which was bolton "can I come in?" dean had done what Rachel asked so he now had his head over the sink, he was still crying "Yeah, come on in" she replied putting her hair up into a messy bun "Mummy is really sorry"

Bolton came in and went to the sink he then saw that she had ran out of tissue paper so he went and got some more rolls for her, she ripped some more of it off and held it softly against his face again.

Bolton stood next to dean and put his arm round him gently and rubbed his arm softly "I'm here bud, daddy's here" He looked at Rachel seeing that she was blaming herself "this isn't your fault, its her fault for even going to hit you"

"It is my fault, I made her go for me" she replied before tearing more tissue off and rolled it up where she gently stuck it inside Dean's nose to make it stop bleeding as much

"Rach? She still shouldn't have went for you, even though you had Dean in your arms, she made it worse by hitting Dean while trying to hit you" he spoke while stroking her cheek with his other hand "Please Don't blame yourself" Dean was now watching the pair , he had finally stopped crying , Rachel nodded and gave him a half smile

"I still love you to"
