07~ Making It Work

Addison knew how she had told her mum she was going to keep the baby. She knew that it was going to be easy at all. But she was going to do the best she could.

She knew she had been helping out with Bella and she was enjoying it. She wanted to get as much experience as she could before her baby was born.

It wasn't going to be easy at all. And Addison knew that. She was thankful she had her mum and Will there. They had been supportive and telling her they would support anything she wanted to do.

She was thankful that she wasn't alone. And that knowing she had someone there for her, it made her feel as though things were finally going to be okay for her.

All Addison knew was that her life was up and down. And she just needed to find the balance to make it work. Despite all the complications she had to face. But she was adamant that she would face them.

Morning came and she walked downstairs. She saw her mum with Bella and smiled. "Morning mum," she said as she sat with her. She smiled to Bella. "Hi cutie."

"Hi. I go nursey today. You takes me?" Bella asked as she turned to her auntie.

Addison smiled and nodded. "Yeah. I can take her on my way to school," she told her mum as she smiled.

Kim nodded. She knew how she had been trying to be a good mum to Addison to make up for the fact she wasn't with Aimee. And it hurt her to think that she hadn't been able to say goodbye to her daughter.

Addison smiled. "I know it's been hard. But we're going to be okay mum. I know we are," she told her as she looked to her.

"I know darling. I have you. And I'm going to do all I can to be the best mum to you," Kim said as she kissed the top of her head.

Addison was sitting in class. She wasn't in the mood for it. she knew she had told her mum she would try. She wanted to make an effort for her mum's sake. Knowing all she had been through.

It wasn't that Addison didn't want her education. She just wanted things to be okay. And she wasn't sure it would. Given all that had happened lately.

She was adamant she was keeping her baby. That was one thing she was 100% on. Despite all the complications. Not many people knew she was pregnant. And she wanted to keep it that way until it was obvious.

"Addison. Good work on your essay. Keep at it," the teacher said as he handed Addison her essay.

Addison walked back into home farm. She saw Will who looked to her and smiled. "How was school?" He asked.

"It was good. I got an A* on my last essay. So I'm happy with that. Where's my mum?"

"At the Hawkesford. Bella is asleep in the living room. Why don't you get on with your homework and we can have takeaway for dinner," Will said as he walked off.

Addison nodded and smiled. Not knowing how things were about to be flipped upside down.
