Wounded Heart [9-1-1] (ON HOLD)

Chapter 6: Haunted✔️

Eddie and Carla found a school that they think would be great for Chris. He asked me to come with them, while they show us around the school. Chris is an absolute angel, I only met the kid about a week ago, but I would do anything to help him or Eddie out.

"Our grounds include two outdoor play areas, state-of-the-art gymnasium, music, theater, the full range of academic offerings, as well as behavioral and cognitive programs." The principal explained.

Eddie chuckled, trying to find the words, "Look, the program sound good but Christopher's happines is what's important to me. I want him to feel normal, not like some special-needs charity case."

"Every child is special. And, yes, some do have additional needs, but they're all equally our children. They learn as much from each other as they do from us." She said as she showed us a little girl with down-syndrome playing another boy.

"I think Christopher would be well cared for." I claimed.

"Okay. Let's do it." Eddie said.

"The only thing left would be the family interview." She said, then smiled, "We can do it right now even, while both parents are here."

"Oh, I'm not the mother." I said at the same time as Eddie said, "She's not the mom."

"Oh, I'm sorry." She apologized. "But,then we do need to meet Mrs. Diaz. That won't be  problem, will it?"

After convincing the principal that it indeed wouldn't be a problem, she went back to her office.

"No, it's definitely a problem." Eddie sighed as he looked at me.

"Look, I know Christopher's mother is a touchy subject with you, but I'm sure if we explain the situation to principal Summers we can find a work around. Do you have a copy of the custody agreement?" I asked.

He didn't reply for a few seconds, and I just knew I won't like his answer.

"There isn't one. We're still married." He revealed. My eyes widened. I was stunned.

I was having a crush on a married guy. Good job, Beth, it's classic you.

"So it was a ghost." Buck whispered. He is convinced a ghost called 9-1-1.

We were having a sibling night again. I love these, it's been so long since I saw my siblings, so I'm more than happy to spend as much time with them as I can.

I do have to say, I was very disappointed to find out about Eddie. It just doesn't leave my mind. I wasn't really participating in the conversation with my siblings, because it didn't concern me.
