Samuel went to call the place. They did have availability for Jeremiah.
He called Fatima right after. She didn't answer because she was at work. She sent him a text and told him that she'll call him on her break.
He agreed. Their regular teacher was absent, so Fatima was the only one there.
*2 hours later*
Fatima just got done teaching them how to do division. She passed out worksheets to them.
She wasn't paying attention to the door because she was helping a student. She looked up and started smiling.
It was Zac. He brought her flowers.
"Ms. Wilson has a boyfriend! Oohhh" the boy yelled out in the classroom
Zac laughed. "She sure does."
"Thank you. You always know how to make my day." Fatima said
"I do. I got it like that. I had to stop by on my free time. I'm about to go back to work, but I want you to know that I love you."
"I love you too. There will be food waiting on you when you get back to work. I ordered it a few minutes ago."
"You know me so well. Thank you baby"
Zac ended up leaving.
"Ms. Wilson, do you have babies?" Amelia asked
"No, not right now. There are a lot of babies in my family though."
"Can you have one? My mommy has 12 kids."
"12 is a big number. I'll have one in a few years. No rush. I need you to get back to work."
*2 hours later*
Fatima had her free period. She went upstairs to the 3rd floor. Pauletta worked on that floor.
"Hey mama"
"Hey baby. You alright down there?"
"Yes. I'm fine. Just got done grading papers. You and the baby okay?"
"Yes."
"You want a bagel?"
"This baby doesn't like them anymore. I don't want to throw up another bagel."
"She's picky."
"She?"
"Yes. Me and T think that it's a girl"
"Your daddy thinks that it's a boy. He wants his Jr."
"A little brother would be nice."
Fatima ended up going back down to her classroom a few minutes later. She called Samuel back.
"Hey" Fatima said
"You alright? I heard about last night."
"Yes, I'm fine. I just didn't want it to end up like that."
"It's fine. I'm sending him to a center to get help, but I don't appreciate him doing those things to you. You know it's all love over here. We love you."
"I love you guys too. I'm glad that he's getting help."
"Me too. Everything good?"
"Yes. Zac had to talk to me yesterday about the situation. Everything is fine."
