I don't own Waterloo road
The next day Rachel took her niece, nephew and daughter to school, they got out of her car and were making their way into the building Holly seen Paul in front "see ya later Mum" she said as she started running along the corridor "Holly" Rachel shouted to her daughter, who turned back an looked at her mother "No running in the corridor" she added. Holly rolled her eyes and started to walk quickly towards her boyfriend. Aimee and Phil walked into Rachel's office behind her they dumped their bags behind her desk. "Aimee you can stay here with me until its time to go to the cooler" she sat on one of the sofas and sighed, she was hoping to try and get in contact with Earl today, but they way Rachel was going she would have no such luck. Philip started to walk towards the door "Bye Rach" he mumbled to his Aunt. "See you later Phil, be a good boy" he smiled awkwardly at his Aunt and walked out.
Aimee was sitting on the sofa nibbling at her nails it was always something she did when she was nervous. "Aimee, are you OK" Rachel asked her niece, she was quieter than she expected her to be. Aimee was usually very bubbly and happy, but since she moved here she had became a lot quieter. "I'm fine, just tired". "Why are you tired, you were all in bed by ten?" Rachel asked her niece. Aimee shrugged her shoulders "I couldn't sleep, everything that happened yesterday was in my head" she answered hoping she wasn't in for another lecture. "All right love, just make sure you get some sleep tonight, we can't have you falling asleep in school now can we" Rachel said. Aimee laughed weakly "I'll be sitting in the cooler for a week" it was a well known fact between the kids that the cooler was just a place for kids to go, they usually just sat and done nothing. "Don't think that you'll be sitting wasting your time, I have organised work for you. We can't have you falling behind now can we" Rachel replied to her niece "now its almost 8.30 why don't you make your way downstairs, I'll be down at some point this morning to make sure your behaving" she added. Aimee left the office and went to the cooler where she would be spending the rest of the week and start of next week.
Eddie came into Rachel's office "Hi, did you have a good night?" Rachel asked her deputy "Yeah it was nice having Mel to myself for the night, Thanks for taking the kids". Rachel sat back at her desk "Your welcome, it was nice having them for the night, and it meant Aimee and I could have a well needed talk" Eddie sat at the seat opposite Rachel's desk "How is she?, Still sulking" Eddie asked. "No, not at all, she knows it was wrong what she did, but Earl still has some control over her, I think we still need to keep a close eye on her" Rachel replied. "Well, I did come here looking for a favour?" Eddie asked. "Sure, what is it?" she asked. "Well, Mel and I want to book a week away at half term, and wanted to ask you if the twins could stay with you?" Rachel thought it was strange that Eddie was asking and Not Mel, after all Mel was her sister and they were her kids not Eddies. "Yeah, course they can," Rachel replied. "Thanks Rachel". The bell rang and Eddie went to give the good news to Mel, who had suggested letting them stay home alone, but Eddie felt more comfortable with them at Rachel's than at his place were they would be staying.
