Chapter 148 - "Final all Clear...?"

Clara's PoV

'Mummy have you seen my socks?' Avia shouted stressing just a little about life right now.

'What socks?'

'You know. The pink ones. I want to put my converse on with my shorts' she scoffed.

I don't know whose idea it was to let the kids wear none school uniform on the last day of the school year but it had been approved.

Poppy was quite sad because she wasn't going but we were surprising her since I had spoken to Foster and he agreed she could go in this afternoon and spend the last day there. And since it was non uniform that made sense.

Evie however was very excited that her birthday was the last day of the school year. What better way to spend the day than with your friends and in non school uniform at school?

I also wanted to go to the school and wish my class good luck for the next year and to have a good Summer. I might have had a lot of time off but they were still my class.

'Oh for gods sake just get in the bloody car' I shouted at everyone as I just wanted to get out of here.

'Well this is a crappy birthday. Anyone would think you two had forgotten'

'We've not forgotten Evie. You got pancakes for breakfast and you got presents and money. All we ask is that you get in the bloody car and go to school' John said shutting the door on the grumbling lot.

'Something tells me this is going to be a stressful day'

'Your only making this stressful by panicking about things that you don't need too' John hummed.

'I am entitled to be worried about the results of my daughters tests' I snapped back.

'Mummy come on. I haven't got all day and want to go shopping later. Your not making turning 10 very fun' Evie shouted.

'Oh that kids is really trying my patients today' I growled.

'Hey. Calm down. Don't do something that you might regret' John said very quickly stopping me from getting in the car and giving her a clip around the ear. 'It's just not good timing for all these appointments and birthdays but we'll get there' John hummed.

I started to calm down as soon as he pressed his lips to mine and took a deep breath in to relax.

'I think you had better drive otherwise I'll have us all killed and I'd rather not have another baby from the drivers seat' 

'At least if you did this time then the baby would be two days early rather than two months early' he said trying to make some light out of it.

'Right come on duckling' John instructed lifting Poppy out of the car seat and plopped her on the ground.

'Daddy I'm scared' she admitted as I got out of the car and waddled around to the passenger door.

'Why are you scared munchkin?'

'Because I don't like being sick' she admitted sadly.

'Well hopefully you won't be sick again for a very long time' he hummed kissing her forehead and standing up to look at me. 'What's wrong with you?'

'I'm scared?'

'Of what' he scoffed.

'I don't like her being sick' I mumbled. 'Plus I'm due to drop a baby any minute. What if this baby is born now?' I scoffed.

'Then it wouldn't be a problem because we'd be in the right place' he hummed pointing out that we were indeed at the hospital. I didn't see much chance of me going into labour now - of course that would be quite useful though really to save on petrol.

'So. All is looking very positive' Connor hummed.

'Meaning?' I asked hopefully.

'Meaning that hopefully we won't have to send you for any more tests for now' he said with enthusiasm. 'Hopefully with a few more weeks blood transfusions just to keep her strength up her immune system should start to get better and we should be in remission'

'I have waited so long to hear those words' I begged with a sigh of relief.

'Yep. I'm so glad that we could give you some good news... and just in time by the looks of things' he chuckled. 'You look like your about to drop'

'Two days' I said with an eye roll.

'She's still going to be compromised by bad immunity but as far as the cancer it has gone. Of course there is no guarantee that it is gone completely for good. In remission there is always a chance it could comeback. Of course she'll have regular check ups 3 monthly for the rest of her life. If anything was irregular.... it would be caught quickly' he explained.

That left me with so much less worry.

'Hi Miss Oswald' some of the girls said as I went into my classroom.

It was so lovely seeing the classroom all neat and tidy ready for September, all the crap from them was gone.

'Hey girls. What you all huddled around here?' I asked and gasped. I hadn't expected my class to have gotten gifts.

I know it's customary for kids at the end of the school year to get gifts for their class teacher but I hadn't been around nearly enough this school year to have warranted them.

'My Mummy said that you'd prefer a baby grow instead of a boring cup. So she got you this' the twins in my class said.

'Oh my goodness. Worlds best teacher huh?' I smirked as they gave me a hug. Breech of boundaries.. but it was worth it.

- - -

'I want the pair of you to meet me back here 3 o clock' I hummed as Evie rolled her eyes.

'I'm 10 now Mummy. I can go shopping' she scoffed. 'And Avia is 11' she pointed out.

'Doesn't mean I don't still worry' I huffed about to go all protective parent on her when John slipped the 100 pounds into her hand and told her to go.

'Bye' she said running off.

'What was that for? I was explaining the rules'

'They have been shopping before. And it's not like we're leaving the centre is it?' He said rolling his eyes and pointed to the mother care.

He took firmly hold of Henrys hand and motioned for me to follow.
