Childrens Questions

"Miss YLN when will you leave?" Asks one of my pupils Ebony
"Not until we have summer break. You'll be moving teachers then anyway" I tell my class who are very intrigued with me being pregnant now that my bump has popped
"Will you come back?" Asks another one of my pupils Jackson
"Yes, not straight away but I will come back to teach" the bell then rings signalling lunch time "ok after lunch we have a guest coming in to talk to us to help with our topic, people who help us. Now off you all go" just as all the children run out I see Antonio walking into my classroom "your a bit early" I ask moving over to him
"Thought I would surprise you with lunch"
"Thank you" I kiss his cheek "I can't say I have very comfortable chairs though, well other than mine" I gesture to my swivel chair
"I'll make do" Antonio leads me over to my desk and helps me sit down on my chair while he leans on my desk getting out the packed food he has brought with him.

Before we know it, lunch is over and my class come running through the door. Antonio and I stand up properly
"Miss YLN is this the guest?" Ebony asks
"Yes. Go and sit down" I chuckle at the children eagerness "ok 1, 2, 3, listen to me" I call out and my class goes silent "this is Detective Dawson he is here to talk to you all about police work for our people who help us topic" one of my pupils raises her hand "yes Ella"
"Is Detective Dawson your friend"
"He is yes"
"No that's her boyfriend. Me and mummy saw them shopping and they were holding hands"
"Thank you Jackson" I raise my eyebrows at the young boy
"Miss YLN does Detective Dawson know your brother. He's a detective"
"Yes they do know each other. Now enough with personal questions, let's listen to Detective Dawson" I give Antonio a small nod and go sit down in my chair at my desk.

Over the next hour or so Antonio talks to all of the children about being a policeman and what he does in his job. The children absolutely loved it and actually asked him questions that are to do with his job
"Ok can we say thank you to detective Dawson please"
"Thank you Detective Dawson" all of the children say in a sing song way
"Your very welcome" Antonio smiles at everyone
"Right everyone head outside for recess" I say getting up from my swivel chair. The children all run out screaming
"Your class are fantastic"
"They are. Although they like to know about my personal life" I chuckle
"I can see, but I remember how exciting it was when you find out your teachers name let alone a nothing else"
"That's true" are you heading back to the station?" I asks
"No I'm done for the day now. So what would my lovely girlfriend like for her tea?"
"Hmm I'm kinda in the mood for empanadas?"
"Empanadas it is. I'll go to the shops on the way home"
"And donuts?"
"And donuts" Antonio chuckles
"Thank you. I'll walk you out" I start walking out of my class room. I walk him out of the school and head back to my classroom ready to get on with my next lesson
"Miss YLN?" I hear a little voice. I turn around and see Ella
"Yes sweetheart"
"When you have your baby will you leave them with Detective Dawson? like my mummy did with me?" My heart practically breaks hearing this
"No sweetheart. My baby will have me and their daddy to help look after them"
"Why did my mummy leave me?"
"Come here" I take her hand and guide her to my chair. I sit down on my chair and pat my lap for Ella "I wish I knew, but your daddy loves you enough for 2 people. I wish mummy loved me"
"I know you do" I give her a big cuddle "now would you like to help me set up for our science lesson?"
"Yes please" she gets up from my lap. I get up after her and then feel arms around me "thank you miss YLN"

I get home still thinking about little Ella. Of course I had to speak to Ella's dad. I walk through the door and smell Antonio's cooking. I walk into the kitchen
"Hey" I sadly say
"You ok?"
"Yeah it's just, one of the kids in my class asked me if I would give my baby up after they're born because that's what her mum did. Just made me a little upset"
"Come here" Antoni opens up his arms
"Im sure she has a fantastic dad who loves her"
"She does"
"I love you"
"I love you too" I lean up and give Antonio a kiss.
