Nikki came into the office closely followed by tom that morning.
"Morning" She smile walking in and sitting down
"Someones happy" Lorraine smiled
"Im no happy im settled…thanks to tom its been a really tough ride the past two weeks moving in, but Gemma and Holly are settled im happy and toms amazing"
"that sounds great" Lorraine smiled sitting by her "its good to see you feeling a lot better"
"I am its brilliant" she smiled
"that's really good to hear" Lorraine smiled
"shes right, were glad your settled" Michael smiled
First lesson was half way through, Nikki was in the staffroom having a cuppa whilst doing some marking when Michael came in.
"Gemmas missing from Christines lesson any ideas?"
"that's strange she should be in" Nikki said placing her mug down "I'll check the toilets, she may be ill she went a bit pale this morning on the way to school"
"alright ill leave you to deal with it?"
"course" Nikki smiled
Nikki was walking down the corridors, she didn't have to look very far when she heard sobbing coming from the toilets.
"Gem is that you sweetheart?"
"mom…" she sobbed
"its alright baby im here open the door darling"
Gemma did so.
"Whats all this about eh? Are you ill?"
"I don't know mum…I think my periods have started"
Nikki smiled sympathetically "come with me I'll get you some paracetemol and some pads okay its perfectly normal sweetheart, I go through it, and holly will when shes your age"
Gemma nodded as she held her mum.
"come on lets go for a cuddle and a chat yeah?"
Gemma nodded and went with her mum to the office where tom was.
"here you go" Nikki said producing the paracetemol and pads in front of tom
"MOM!" Gemma said embaressed taking them quickly
"look tom doesn't actually care okay, it happens to every woman darling, trust me tom is used to it, go and get yourself sorted and we will go to starbucks away from here alright"
Gemma nodded walking off.
"so that's two of you in the house now then, oh dear and your going to sync take cover tom" he giggled sipping his tea
"oh shush" Nikki laughed chucking a rubber at him
"you know im right, me and holly we duck in a corner"
Nikki laughed "im running out of rubbers"
"ive got loads" tom laughed in return
Gemma came back bright red
"you alright?" Nikki asked
"yeah its just tom" gemma said embaressed
Tom came over to Gemma "listen sweetheart, it doesn't matter okay, im used to it really I am, I have a few step-daughters, one of which confinded in me when she first started and when she first got pregnant too, it makes your more grown up darling and that's whats important your no longer a little girl anymore you're a lady." Tom smiled
Gemma smiled and wrapped her arms around him. He had become more of a dad to her than her actual dad.
"come on lets go to starbucks" Nikki smiled at them both
Gemma nodded. Tom gave Nikki a kiss on the cheek. Nikki smiled in return turning into a hopeless romancer. They went to starbucks and Nikki got some drinks in and they sat on the sofa.
"are you alright with everything?"
"yeah, I feel a lot better now"
"is one thing us women have to live with, but when your older and you start wanting to have sex, please let me know"
"I will mom"
"darling it means you can be pregnant now, so when it comes to it you have to speak to me first okay"
Gemma nodded "I will mom"
Nikkis phone started ringing. She looked at it and picked it up.
"Michael…yeah I did were having a chat…yes please if that's okay, I think toms free for cover and he knows…put it this way she needs her mum at the moment, im not going into details as its not fair…alright will be back after lunch…okay bye"

"checking up on you hmmm?"
"yeah" Nikki smiled
"Whats the deal with you and tom?"
"erm…well were good friends"
"do you like him?"
"erm…erm…yeah" Nikki blushed
