Peter "Thank you Hayden, and may I say you are hottest looking Anna I ever seen." Hayden "Thank you Peter." Peter "Your welcome Hayden." Hayden, and Peter kissed, then Peter sat down to join the family.
Peter had his arm around Hayden. Jackie smiled. She was happy her daughter was in love with such a great guy.
Jackie "So where's Paula, I like to see what she's dressed up as." Ron "Probably a witch."
Richard "Or a demon." Amy "Or the devil." Peter "Are you guys talking about Hayden's drama teacher?"
Ron "Yes,she taught Jackie here at this school, and was mean to her." Hayden "So because of that my mum hates Paula, and tries to avoid her as much as she can."
Peter "I saw her in back part by her classroom." Jackie "You did?" Peter "Yeah, she's hanging out with a whole bunch of other teachers." Jackie "Show me where she is." Hayden "Are you sure mum." Jackie "Yes, I'm sure."
Peter took Jackie by the hand, and walked her to where Paula was sitting with her fellow teachers. Jackie looked, and saw her.
Jackie "Oh my fucking god." Hayden "What is it mum?" Jackie "Paula is sitting with Vicky, John, Dave,and Louise." Hayden "I can't believe her, she has some nerve to bring them." Ron "Jackie are you okay?" Jackie "I'm fine, as matter a fact I think I need a drink." Amy "I will come with you." Hayden "So will I." Jackie "Here we go."
Jackie,Amy,and Hayden walked into the back, walked up to the drink table,and got some punch Ron, Richard,and Peter followed suit the couples talked. Meanwhile Louise had spotted Jackie. So she decided to get up, and go talk to her.
Louise "Hi Jackie." Jackie "Oh my god, Louise how are you?" Louise "I'm fine." Jackie "That's good, you look great" Louise "So do you, so what brings you here?" Jackie "I came here to help out, you know my daughter Hayden." Louise "Your Hayden's mum?"
Jackie "Yes I am." Louise "I thought she looked like you, she is the best student in the class."
Jackie " She takes after me." Louise "You must be Hayden's father?" Ron "Yes I am, its nice to meet you Louise." Louise "Its nice to meet you too Ron, you, and Jackie have one hell of a daughter." Jackie "Thank you."
Louise "So Jackie what have you been doing with yourself?" Jackie "You might find this hard to believe but I'm a doctor." Louise "Really wow." Peter "She's one of the best doctor's we have at Rittenhouse." Jackie "Louise I would like you to meet one of my co- workers, this is nurse Peter Riggs." Peter "Hello Louise its nice to meet you." Louise "Its nice to meet you too Peter, well I better go sit back down, before Paula tells me to, Jackie it was wonderful to see you again."
Jackie "Its always wonderful to see you Louise take care of yourself." Louise "I will bye."
Jackie "Bye." Louise sat back down. Then Jackie, and her family went back to their table, and sat back down.
Hayden "You okay mum?" Jackie "Yeah, it was nice to see my fourth cousin again." Ron "She seemed nice." Jackie "She is nice.
Hayden "Your having flashbacks huh mum?" Peter "What kind of flashbacks?" Jackie "To when John, Paula, Dave, and the rest of the school except for Louise,called me the school slut." Peter "Oh my god,no wonder you try avoid Paula as much as you can." Jackie "I would walk down the halls,and I could hear everyone saying Jackie's the school slut pass it on." Hayden "Why couldn't people just leave you alone?"
Ron "They were asswholes Hayden they pretended to be friends with your mum,then they would talk about her behind her back." Amy "You didn't deserve that Jackie you came here to learn not be picked on."
Richard "No wonder your having flashbacks your traumatized by the teasing, and name calling."
Jackie "Well its Hayden's night, and I won't let people ruin it for her." Hayden "Thanks mum."
Jackie "Your welcome baby." Peter "I say lets dance, lets try to have fun." Amy "Sounds good to me." Richard "You up to it Jackie?" Jackie "Hell yes,lets dance." Ron "That's my girl."
Everyone walked out onto the dance floor,and began to dance to Stevie Nicks I Can't Wait Jackie was at the head of her group.
Paula,Louise,Dave,Vicky,and John,all watched what was going on Louise smiled as she watched Jackie dance around with her family.
Louise decided she would go join the fun she walked out onto the dance floor,and joined Jackie's group Jackie spun around while the others danced around her they were having fun.
The next song was Rooms On Fire also by Stevie Nicks Ron took Jackie by the hand,and they danced while Jackie sang they joined the group again.
Paula was getting a little annoyed with Louise dancing with somebody's family who she thought Louise didn't know. Louise didn't care, she was having a good time dancing with Jackie, and her family.
Paula walked up to Louise, grabbed her arm,and pulled her away from Jackie's group Jackie didn't like seeing Louise harmed so she walked up to Paula,and pulled Louise back to her.
Jackie "If you ever hurt Louise again I will see to it that your fired,and I'm not joking." Paula "Stay out of it,you don't know us." Jackie took off her wig. Jackie "Is that so?" Paula "Jackie Waugh I thought you fell off the face of the planet." Jackie "Sorry to disappoint you Paula."
Jackie put her wig back on then Hayden ran to her mum's side.
Hayden "Mum what's going on?" Jackie "Paula just hurt Louise, and I'm putting a stop to it." Hayden "Up to your old tricks again Mrs. Link?" Paula "Your Hayden's mum?" Jackie "Yes I am."
Paula's mouth dropped she couldn't believe she was talking to her old student Jackie Waugh,and she was surprised that Jackie was Hayden's mum.
Hayden "Are you okay Mrs. Pompa?" Louise "I'm fine Hayden." Jackie "Hayden take Louise to our table." Hayden "Sure thing mum." Jackie "And as for the rest of you stay away from my family."
Jackie walked back over to the table,and sat down.
Louise "Thank you Jackie." Jackie "Your welcome Louise." Hayden "Louise why don't quit being a teacher, move to Philly,and study to be a doctor?" Peter "Yeah we could use some more help at Rittenhouse."
Louise "Alright I will." Jackie "Here you can use my cell phone to call the main school person thingy,and tell them that you quit."
Louise" Thanks." Jackie "No problem."
Louise called the head of the school,told him that she quit, and then she gave Jackie back her phone then the group got up,and began to dance again.
Jackie,and Ron danced close together then they kissed Ron was happy Jackie finally stood up to Paula and he thought Jackie was a brave woman. And loved her very much.
Hayden "Mum,dad thank you for one hell of a night." Ron "Your welcome Hayden." Peter "Its not over yet, I want ask you something Hayden will you marry after you get out of school?" Hayden "Oh Peter,yes I will."Peter "Oh I love you so much Hayden." Hayden "I love you so much too Peter."
Peter picked Hayden up, and spun her around, then he dipped her,then he kissed her she kissed him back Hayden ran to her parents then she hugged them.
Jackie walked up to Peter, and hugged him, then she kissed him on the check. Ron shook Peter's hand, and then he hugged him too.
Louise "I'm happy for you,and Peter Hayden." Hayden "Thank you Louise." Jackie "Looks like we can start planning a wedding." Ron "Yep."

Jackie "We better be heading home, I have work tomorrow." Louise "Okay well Jackie I will be seeing you." Jackie "Bye Louise." Louise "Bye Jackie."
Everyone left the school Paula was watching as Louise drove away then she watched as Jackie, and her family drove away.
Paula felt awful for what she did she wanted to call Louise,and say she was sorry but she didn't have enough guts to say it Once a Link always a Link Paula learned her mean ways from her husband John Link.
