The morning ran smoothly meaning no Waterloo Road dramas like everyone was expecting

It was lunch time and Eddie was sat in the staffroom talking to Steph

"So how's your little one" Eddie's face lit up at the thought of his son

"Michael, yeah he's..."

"No i mean your other one" Steph interrupted

"What other one?" Eddie asked a little confused

"Melissa"

"Ow, no um ... it wasn't mine she only said it was mine so me and Rach would break up"

"Arr Eddie I'm sorry"

"Don't be I'm not, the only thing I'm sorry about is me and Rachel"

"Right anyway I'll see you later Steph" Eddie smiled getting up and walking out the staffroom

He decided to go for a walk around the school when he came across Bolton humming

"You alryt Smiley"

"Yea course sir"

"What you up to?"

"Thinkin of lyrics for ma rap init"

"Cool how far are ya?"

"On ma third verse"

"Keep it up yeah mate, cya later" Eddie smiled thinking it was better him doing that than getting into fights and trouble

"Cya later sir"

"Um Rachel can i talk to you for a minute?" Kim asked wearily making her way into her office

"Yeah course you can Kim what is it?"

"Um well" she started but failed

"Whatever it is Kim you can tell me" Rachel smiled sitting next to her on the sofa

"Well the thing is I'm, I'm um ... pregnant"

"Ow Kim"

"It's Max's Rachel" Kim burst into tears as Rachel comforted her with a hug

They sat like that for a couple of moments before Eddie burst through the door

"Oo bad timing sorry I'll go" Eddie went to walk back out

"No, no Eddie don't worry" Kim faintly smiled wiping her tears away

"You alryt Kim?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine thanks" Kim smiled

"You sure coz if there's something you're not telling me then I'm just gunna have to hold you hostage" Eddie smiled causing Kim to laugh slightly

"There you go my job done, made you laugh and smile"

"I'm gunna go now I'll see you later" Kim said leaving Eddie and Rachel on their own

Rachel sat behind her desk it was sort of like a protective bubble for her

"So what's this i hear about Michela White being good and being able to play the flute?"

"I know since she snuck into court she has really turned a corner and as for the flute that was a shock for everyone" The awkwardness suddenly flew out the window

"Good it's nice to see her and Bolton setting out to achieve something"

"Yeah, yeah it is" Rachel smiled

"So how are you?" Eddie asked trying to carry on conversation

"Yeah I'm good thanks"

"Good"

"How's um, how's um Melissa and you know?" Rachel asked feeling a little awkward

"I dunno i haven't seen her in months"

"What about the baby?"

"I thought you knew" Eddie said looking a little shocked

"Knew what?"

"The baby wasn't mine, she lied"

"What" Rachel gasped

"Hmm was rather shocked myself to be honest" Eddie noted in a pissed off tone

As the bell signalled for the end of the day Jennifer from the lea and Chris walked in

"Hey" Rachel smiled getting up

"Hi Rachel, Eddie just coming to check everything's in order and running smoothly"

"Yeah everything's running smoothly" Rachel smiled

"Well if that's all I'll be on my way" Jennifer smiled

"Yeah thank you, bye"

"Bye"
