It didn't take long for Eddie to get to Rachel's house, he didn't hesitate in coming over as he had heard Rachel's upset voice on the phone

When she opened the door, she looked as vulnerable as when her secret was announced to the whole school and her mascara had run tracks down her cheeks

Eddie opened his arms and Rachel fell into them, there she felt comfort and security, she then repeated her and her daughter's conversation to her lover

'I'm going to have a word with the little madam' he finally said

'No Eddie don't..' He didn't wait to here her protests and went into Alicia's room without knocking

Alicia sat up from where she was lying on the bed 'get the fuck out of my room you moron'

Eddie ignored the comment and went to sit on the desk chair 'listen here madam, I'm not trying to be your father I'm trying to look out for you. For one, when I tell you what to do outside of school it's too protect you and two in school I will bloody well tell you what to do because it's my job' eddie paused for a minute 'and also Rachel makes me very very happy, and I think I make her happy too. At the moment she's sat down there thinking that we should cool it because of you, do you think after everything she's been through she deserves a little bit of happiness?'

Alicia started to laugh 'and what about what I've been through? I didn't have a mum for most of my life and now I do she's more interested in shagging you!' Alicia shouted the last bit

'That is enough, your mother puts you first before anything, including me. The last time I was with her it was difficult to make her stop thinking about the school, but now you're the one on her mind, not the school, not me, you!'

Alicia looked at the ground, she felt so small

'And you know what she is doing everything in her power to make it up to you, and for you to bring up her past like that is extremely bratty - now I want you to go down and apologise to her'

'Here we go again you're telling me wha...'

'Alicia Mason listen to me! I'm looking out for you, you love your mum, and she loves you to the ends of the earth, so go downstairs and stop this fighting how is that helping the both of you'

She mumbled a few inaudible word and then made her way downstairs, she went into the lounge and saw her mum sat on the sofa, staring into space, tears forming in her eyes

'Mum..' Alicia had always found it hard to say sorry and Rachel knew this so just beckoned her daughter over and wrapped her into a hug

'I know darling, shhh don't you cry lovely girl.' Rachel wiped away a tear that had cascaded down Alicia's face 'I love you to the moon and back don't ever think otherwise, and if you don't want Eddie here I'll end it, but remember this you are my world and I know I made mistakes but in the end I'm glad I did, because I got to learn from them and I got a beautiful daughter out of my experience'

After a few moments Alicia replied 'god mum, you make everything sound so cheesy' this caused Rachel to laugh 'and I do like Eddie I think I just got jealous, suppose I'm not used to sharing my mum'

'You don't need to share me darling, wherever or whenever you need me I'll be there for you ok?'

Alicia nodded, it was only then Rachel caught Eddie in the doorway smiling at the two

Her daughter turned round to see what her mum was looking at and saw Eddie, Alicia got up to face him 'I'm really sorry for today Eddie, here and at school. Would you like to move in?'

'Alicia!' Rachel said shocked at her daughter

Alicia turned round to look at her with a cheeky grin on her face 'well you'd never ask'

Eddie laughed 'you're so like your mother, come here missy' Alicia went over and hugged him

'Now Alicia we're going to have to punish you at school ok?' Rachel said sternly

She got a groan in response, Eddie cut in 'and I've got the maths work you missed in the lesson with me, and it needs to be done tomorrow'

'Oh my god, shall I just let the rest of the bloody staff room move in?' Alicia said sarcastically

'Alicia less of the language, because I will wash your mouth out with soap!'

Second part of that chapter finally done! :) bit of a writers block atm, that's why they're rubbish!
