Mon Chéri

33

___________________________________Nyx

I smile at my students as they walk into the room. Today is my first day back since we got back from the honeymoon. I took a week off after we got back to get over the morning sickness again and to spend time with Raven.

Halfway through the lesson I look up when I hear a voice "Mrs Frump. We made you a hard to say congratulations". I smile at Laura as I take it from her "Thankyou all. I-...". I freeze when I read the card and it says 'Congratulations on the baby and getting married!'. "Who told you about the baby?" I ask in a panic since only a few people are meant to know. "Miss Matthews did. Is it a boy or a girl?" One student asks. I go to reply but question after question interupts me.

"QUIET!" I shout standing up making the class go quiet. I look at Laura as I sigh "How many people know?". "Well my friend said Miss told all her classes so..probably everyone by now" she tells me before sitting down. I sigh and I sit down with my head in my hands "get on with your work".

The door opens and I look towards it as I get more angry. Fucking hormones. I spot Morticia at the door and I hold out the card to her. She takes one look at it and sighs "I got similar off my class..". "I accidentally let it slip to Taylor and shes spread it around.." I mutter.

I feel tears rush to my eyes as I stand up "stay here with them". "Where are you going love?" She asks watching me walk out the door. "To fucking kill her what else would I be doing?" I shout back. I hear her say to the class "stay in your seats" before she follows me".

My anger seems to make me quicker because I get to Taylor alot quicker than Morticia. I burst into the classroom full of students and I launch at her. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest as I wrap my hands around her neck and I shove her into to wall "YOU BITCH! FIRST YOU KISS ME WHEN YOU KNOW IM MARRIED THEN YOU TELL PEOPLE ABOUT MY BABY?".

I move a hand away from her neck as I stare at her as vines grow from it towards her neck. I feel hands around my waist and I hear a soothing voice "Mon cheri calm down". I sigh and I relax into her hold. I watch as Taylor drops to the floor gasping for air.

"MRS FRUMP MY OFFICE NOW!" I flinch as I head larissa shout. I look towards her and I slowly follow her to her office with tears running down my face. Morticia stays back against her will to make sure students are okay and that Taylor can breathe.

I stand opposite the fire and I watch as Larissa paces back and forth. "For fuck sake Nyx...YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HER OR HARMED A STUDENT" She screams at me. "SHE KISSED ME AND TOLD PEOPLE ABOUT ME BEING PREGNANT WHEN I SPECIFICALLY TOLD HER NOT TO! AND I'M PRETTY SURE SHE'S BEEN STALKING ME" I argue back.

"You can't be throwing around serious accusations like that Nyx!" She tells me sitting at her desk. "Its not a-..gah" I put my hand on my stomach as I get a sharp pain. "I'm giving you two weeks suspension without pay" Larissa mutters as she writes on a form.

I look up at her in shock "And your not doing anything to Taylor?!". "You attacked her Nyx!" Larissa shouts at me. I lean on the back of a chair as I get another pain. "Are you okay?" Larissa asks standing up. I shoot her a look "If your not going to do anything to Taylor then I quit".

As i storm out i nearly walk into Morticia. I go to walk past her but I grab tight onto her shoulder when I get a cramping pain. "Love..." Tish asks as I try not to cry. "I'm loosing the baby..I know I am" I sob out as the pain gets worse. She gives larissa a look as she rushes me out the door.

"It looks like just regular cramping you would get with pregnancy." The doctor tells me as she looks at the ultrasound machine. I sigh in relief and I squeeze morticias hand "we..lost one before this baby a..and I think it just made me more scared".

"Well baby looks healthy. Your 17 weeks along. Would you like to know the gender?" She asks and I nod. After a few more minutes she smiles at us "It looks like you will have one of each. Congrats". "Its a boy..honey were having a boy" I pull Morticia's face to mine and I kiss her roughly.

After a few seconds Tish pulls away "We need to get these hormones under control". I roll my eyes at her and I look back at the screen. We sit for the next ten minutes as the Doctor checks the baby over. She gives us the scan pictures and we leave.

I smile as I look at the pictures of our son "I think he has your nose". "I think..he's a blob my love...his nose may grow into yours" she tells me putting a hand on my thigh whilst she drives. I gasp and I slap her hand off my thigh. I cross my arms and I look out the window with tears in my eyes.

"Mon cheri whats wrong?" Morticia asks holding back a laugh. "You called our baby a blob! DON'T LAUGH AT ME TISH" I shout starting to cry more. "I'm sorry my love..lets get you back to work" she says.

I hum "About that...I quit". "You what! Why would you do that?" She shouts at me making me cry again after just stopping. "Larissa was gonna suspend me for two weeks without pay and not do anything to Taylor for kissing me and spreading the news about the baby around and stalking me. So I got annoyed and quit" I explain.

I hear her sigh in anger and for the rest of the ride she ignores like I do her. We get out of the car and she grips onto my wrist. I stay silent as she drags me to Larissa's office. I refuse to look at the two as morticia talks "She doesn't quit and she accepts the two week suspension. But I expect you to punish Taylor in some way for harrasment".

After some arguing back an forth larissa agrees to give her the same punishment as me. I look at larissa as I hear her say my name "Why is Nyx mad at you?". "She called our son a blob" I mutter. I feel Tish's nails digging into my arm "That is not the full story. She said he has my nose and I said he's a blob and he may grow to have her nose..and now she's ignoring me".

"Is this what you two argue about? Sounds a bit boring to me" larissa says as I sit down in a chair. I open my mouth to speak but nothing comes out. I scoff and I slump down in my seat. "Love sit up" Tish tell me. "Love sit up" I mutter in a mocking voice as I stay sat how I am. I smirk at Larissa when she hides a laugh with her hand.

I squeal and morticia stands up and pulls me up by my wrist. I look at larissa for help but she just laughs as im dragged away by my wife.
