Married To My Teacher

Chapter 9

*Trianna's POV*

We walked down the hall and stopped infront of a door. Armanda told us she would be right out, then quickly stepped inside. I looked at Patrick and grabbed his hand

"Im really worried." He looked down at me. "What if something happened to Paige?"

"Im sure everything will be ok. I trust Armanda, she would have said if there was something wrong." I kissed his cheek.

We stood in the hallway for a few minutes before Armanda came back out. "Ok. I was you two to come with me. There is something i need you to see" she said as she guided us through the door. Once the door was closed, we turned around and Patrick froze. "What. The. Hell" he said, pausing after each word.     

Armanda lead us to some chairs at a table. "Trianna, this is Courtney. Paige's mother" she introduced me to the woman sitting across the table. "Last week we got a disturbance call and ended up bringing in Courtney and another male, who has been under our supervision. They-" she was cut of by Patrick

"Where is Paige? Where is she?" He panicked. I grabbed ahold of his arm and attempted to calm him down.

"Paige was at the house at the time, and because we didnt know who her biological father was, we had to send her into a care facility" Armanda explained.

"Ok. But I am here now. So I can take her home." Patrick insisted

Armanda sighed once again, today was just getting worse. Patrick was almost in tears when she spoke again

"Unfortunately, becuase of her previous living environment, we are going to have to go through the court and fight for you to have full custody. Courtney is seen as an unfit parent at this time, so if we fight for custody, Courtney will be taken out of the picture" she explained to us.

After Courtney heard this, she fought, accusing Patrick of abandoning her. She was quickly removed and we soon left the station.

"Trianna, what am I going to do? I just want her with us. She doesnt evem know who I am." He cried 

"We will figure this out. Armanda is going to find us a lawyer, and you will get Paige. You are a good person. You have a home, a good job. You are great with kids. It will take a while, but we will get her." I told him as we got in the car.

We drove in silence to the house and I helped him to the couch then set his crutches on the floor in front. I made us dinner then went upstairs to have a shower.

I took my time, letting the warm water hit my back as i thought about today. Would Patrick want me to be a mother figure? Would I be capable of being a mother? Would Patrick let me legally adopt Paige? Thoughts about the three of us as a family ran through my mind; then i paused. Did I want a baby? Patrick had pretty much said no. We only knew eachother for a couple weeks, it would be crazy to want a baby with him now. But the thought interested me.

I turned off the tap and wrapped my body in a towel, i blowdried my hair and washed my face before leaving the bathroom.

"I am going to let Keeko out and then head to bed, do you need anything?" I leaned over the back of the couch and asked. Patrick looked up so out faces met.

"I am ok. I'll be up in  a little bit, ok?" He stretched up and kissed me, i pulled away and smiled as I went to let the dog out. As I waited I walked over to the sink to get a glass of water. I heard clicking noises from behind me, then felt two arms snake around my waist and a chin rest on my shoulder. "On second thought, I am going to go up with you" he spoke quietly and I turned around.

"Sounds good to me" I quickly kissed him before letting in Keeko, locking all the doors and heading upstairs.
