Chapter 5

I just want to clarify one thing Gallagher starts a week earlier than Blackthorne apart from the first years who start at the same time as Blackthorne which is why Annabel isn't there yet because she is coming in to school tonight.

CPOV:

Who knew my husband was such a dick? Oh wait I did and that's why I married him.

"Let's go rescue Joe from three extra kids and go see Sally, Simon, mum and Abby." I took my baby back from her annoying daddy and went down to sub-level 1. "Joey, we are here to rescue you." The look on his face was priceless. I used his extra special nickname that he loved so much.

"Mrs Goode, it is nice of you to join us. Would you like to finish off this lesson as I do believe it is our own class?"

"Okay, I can see you are struggling here. You can take Edward to find Sally and Simon because I want to see them."

"Don't push it Cameron." He shot daggers at me. The whole class was laughing along with me, my husband, my four children and Edward.

"Bye Joe, see you at lunch with my favourite brother and sister/cousin and my mother." I shoved Joe out the door and waved him off. "Hello girls, it must have been a long lesson with Joe. He has lost all his hotness with age and the fact he is married to the head mistress, also known as my mother. Anyways off topic, what was Mr S teaching you?" Lucy was squirming in my arms so I put her on the floor and she got up and went over to Savvana, who was her favourite person in my class and sat on the floor next to her. Sammy, Pen and Morg were all sat at the back with Zach with big smiles on their faces because they hardly ever saw me teaching unlike Lucy who came with me most of the time.

"He was just telling us about a mission that took place 14 years ago which changed the way we are taught now." I smiled. I knew this mission very well. I sat down on my desk and looked at Zach as his eyes gleamed.

"Well, I can tell it better. It was a sunny day when the mission took place. The girls were put into the helicopter for their first mission of that semester. Joe forced them into blindfolds and they took off. Their mission was to not get caught. Caught from whom? They had no idea. They spent the day in Washington DC using all the tricks and techniques they had been taught by the famous Joseph Solomon. All they knew was not to get caught and get to the ruby slipper exhibition at 5pm with no tail. There were two girls who were side by side and saw some hot boys. These boys followed them as they tried to blend in with everyone else. They lost the boys and split up to make their way back to their teacher. One girl who liked to go under the name Chameleon made her way to the elevator when the boy she was earlier got in as well. He was sweet and offered her some sweets. She declined and tried to get rid of him but he was determined to stay with her. She let him trying to be kind and told him where she had to meet her class and teacher. Then she dumped him when she saw the closest cop. He left it at that not wanting to get in trouble. She carried on finding her teacher. She got there to find her teacher and say she had finished without a tail. He said she was wrong and to turn around. She saw that green-eyed smirking boy that didn't leave her side. And do you want to know something else? He still hasn't left her side." (A/N I know it is not exact but I did it from memory and so sorry if some of it is wrong and shit) The girls all knew I was talking about. They knew it was me, Bex and Zach.

"Aww...So cute...Really?" The class burst into. I smiled and Zach came up to the front.

"Really then she married that green-eyed smirking boy and four beautiful kids." Morgan sat in the back looking like he was about to cry, another thing he got from me, Pen and Sammy ran up to us and jumped into Zach's arms and Lucy was crawling to me and I picked it up.

"Aww, that is soo cute Mr Goode." One of the girls giggled at him, flirting. He ignored it as normal.

"Alright, girls, off you go to lunch. We will be up in a moment." The girls all filed out of the classroom and went to lunch. "Alright you two," I looked at Pen and Sammy and they curled into Zach's shoulders. "Where is my hug or do you only miss daddy and Morgan?" We all laughed as they both leaned out for me to take them. I swapped kids with Zach so I took Sammy and Pen while he took Lucy. Morgan got up from the back of the classroom and we all had a big family hug. I held on to my family, knowing that everyone was safe.

"Come on then, let's go see Granma and everyone." Joe was stood in the door. I wasn't ready to let my family go.

"Gallagher girl release, we still have a few hours together." Zach pulled away while smirking and the twins slide down me and ran to hold Joe's hands.

"Granddy, are we going to get Crème Brule at lunch?" Sammy was defiantly my daughter. I smiled at her and Joe chuckled at her question.

"You are getting more and more like your mummy ever day you know that?" I laughed at his reply and put my arm around Morgan's shoulder and my other around Zach's waist. We all walked to the Grand hall together.

"Grandma!" The three older kids ran to the top of the Great hall towards my mum and Simon. Lucy was still in Zach's arms and wanted to go and wanted see her Uncle Si. Zach put her down making sure that everyone was aware she was on the floor and if she got knocked over by anyone they would be dead.

"Come on, babe. Let's get some food and sit by Abby and Dad and find out where on Earth Sally is." Zach was laughing at the thought of his sister being anywhere but her room.

"Hun, you know where she is. Do you think I didn't see you put that tracker in her when she was born? And she never leaves her room when she is ill so it doesn't shock me that she isn't here. She might be seven but she is my aunt's daughter and my husband's sister, she is going to do as she pleases." I shook my head in disappointment at Zach and he laughed some more. "Want to grab her some food and go and see her?" I was going even if he wasn't.

"Come on then. Let's just make sure your mum and my dad know we are leaving the kids with them for a second."

"Simon is here don't worry about it. They will sit and play with him and then when we get back I will try and feed miss fussy pots who seems pretty happy right now sitting on her Uncles lap." I grabbed Zach's hand, a plate of food and gave my mum a look saying we would be back in ten and walked out. "Let's go and see my favourite sister-in-law" I grinned at him. "I think that is the best thing I got from marrying you." I stuck my tongue out at him, let go of his hand and ran down the hallway. Zach's arm wrapped around my waist and he pulled me towards him almost sending the plate in my hand to fall.

"IS that right, then?" He whispered in my ear and sent a shiver down my back.

"Yes." I shuddered against him.

"Fine then. I guess you don't want my present tomorrow then?" Zach released a little bit so I turned and faced him.

"Nah, I still want it." I smirked at him. "Just like I want you to be my husband until the day we die." I leaned up to kiss him as he lent down.

"I want you to be my wife until the day we die and forever. I love you Mrs Goode." He murmured against my lips.

"I love you too Mr Goode. Now let's go see your sister."I pulled away and I took his hand back, dragging him to his sister's room.

"Hey, Sal, it's me and Cam. We got you some food. You need to eat." We walked into her room to find her half asleep with Barbie on.

"Hey, guys, I'm not hungry. Dad just gave me some calpol and I'm really sleepy. I'm going toooo..." Sally fell asleep mid sentence.

"Let's leave the food and let her sleep, let's go speak to my brother." I put the plate down on her table, planted a kiss on her head and walked back out to go see my side of the family.

"Unky Si, Unky Si, Unky Si!"

"Lucy, lunch time, time to eat." I picked her up from my brother's lap.

"I did try and feed her Cam, so did Morgan but she said she would only eat with mummy." Simon tried to explain himself. I snorted at what he said.

"Don't worry about it lil' bro because she doesn't eat. I have to spend at least an hour trying to coax food into her." I sat down next to the kids while Zach went to grab me a banana and some shepherd's pie for Lucy to eat.

I have never ever had this much difficulty trying to feed any of my other kids nor my brother or sister so why was Lucy so freaking hard?

"Lucy, if you don't sit still, I will never give you a McDonalds ever again." I was holding her down while Zach was trying to get food in her mouth. We were the last people in the Grand hall apart from Mum and Joe who were talking to us about Blackthorne. The kids were all outside playing since it was a nice day. "Lucy, the sooner you finish the sooner we can go on a road trip." Nothing was working with this child. I swear I was going to scream any second now.

"Kiddo, go for a walk. Take Joe. I'll sit here with Zach." Mum took Lucy out of my arms and pushed me out of the way. "GO NOW!" I got up and ran out of the hall and straight into the P&E barn to find Bex.

"We need to run NOW!" I pulled her by the arm and we ran out into the forest.

"Cam what's wrong?" She panted as we stopped in a small clearing.

"Lucy is driving me crazy. She doesn't eat anything but flipping McDonalds! And sorry for missing you at lunch we went to see Sally and then feed my devil child."

"Cammie, calm down a second. She does eat she just takes a long time because she is still little. And forget about lunch because I can talk to you now." She laughed. We both lay down in the clearing and looked up into the clear sky.

"Soooo, what did you want to talk about?" I stretched all my words not wanting to know what she was about to ask.

"When's baby number 5 coming?" I slapped her arm.

"BEX! I already have four kids and I do not need another Lucy right now or ever. Also what gave you that idea?"

"Number one: owww, number 2: so what if they are like Lucy? You will still love them with all your heart, number 3: have you seen you and Zach? It's like you are still in the honeymoon stage even me and Grant don't have that much sex! Number 4: it is your anniversary tomorrow and the kids are going to be at mine all day."

"REBECCA NEWMAN! I am not going to spend all day having sex tomorrow and what's so bad about being in the honeymoon stage still?" I glared at her.

"Well, nothing really, I guess I am just jealous really." She laughed again.

"Tell you what, on Saturday you can drop the kids off at mine for the weekend and you and Grant cam have the whole weekend to yourself."

"I love you Cam."

"I know, I love me too, I have to go to Blackthorne and drop of my boy." I got up and walked back towards the school leaving Bex lying there to soak in some more sun.

Zach, Lucy, Samantha, Simon, Penelope, Morgan, Edward and Joe were all running and playing while mum and Abby sat in the shade watching. I walked over to them.

"We had best be going. See you later." Mum, Abby and me all had a massive hug before I was tugged at by someone. I turned around to see Lucy.

"I sowwy mummy." I picked her up and held her to my chest.

"No I'm sorry baby, I shouldn't have got angry. You ready to take Morgan to school?" she nodded and we went to get the others.

***On the road***

Blackthorne was about 3 hours drive from Gallagher. I put a film on for the kids so they would be quiet for the ride. We were about an hour into the drive and the twins were asleep in the very back and Lucy was sat watching the film nodding off. Morgan was looking out the window trying not to cry.

"Hey, baby, it's going to be okay. I promise, it will be okay." I was stroking his arm until he fell asleep as well.

"Are you alright, baby?" I nodded my head but I wanted this to be over as soon as possible. "Tonight, I am all yours, okay?" I nodded again. Zach grabbed a hold of my hand and didn't let go until we got there.

***At Blackthorne***

ZPOV:

"Girls, say good-bye to your brother. You won't see him for a long time." I was speaking in a monotone. I didn't want them to see me cry or upset. I went to the boot to unload all of his bags while Morgan said good-bye to his little sisters.

"Zach, let me help." Cammie pushed me out of the way and took the rest of the bags out of the car. Morgan came up to me and hugged me. I pulled him closer.

"I love you dad."

"I love you too, Morgan. Now promise me you will behave and if you meet a Gallagher girl, don't break their heart. Your mum will never forgive you if you do and nor will I. We have taught you as much as we can. This is where you continue your journey without us and it will be amazing. Have fun my little boy." I pushed him away and held on to his shoulder so I could get a proper look at him. "And maybe one day, it can be me and you in the field together." I smiled at him. "Go give your mum a hug before she bursts into another fit." He ran off to Cammie and her tears fell down harder and faster. She held onto him for 15 minutes while the girls got fidgety in the car.

"Go, Morgan, we all love you." Morgan walked off towards the main doors of Blackthorne. Cammie came over to me and wrapped her arms around me and buried her head in my chest. I kissed to top of her head.

"He will be okay, baby, I promise." We got back in the car and began to make our way home.

Sorry if it was a bit wishy-washy. I didn't really know what to write for this chapter so it is more of a filler. I will bring in more action in the next few chapters.
