*Lin's POV, a few months later*

It's been roughly 2 months since we've returned back home to New York City.

Pippa was now 5 months pregnant and we knew the gender. December couldn't come soon enough. I couldn't wait to meet my baby girl.

We were busy setting up the nursery. We decided on light blue walls, or as Pippa called them, Eliza Blue. We got a black crib, with a matching changing table, some light green blankets and some stuffed animals. It was coming along great!

As far as work concerned, I was helping Lacimore and Kail with Hamilton and I'd do a show every now and then. It paid more than well enough. Pippa was still doing Amélie, but she'd have to stop that soon, her bump was getting bigger and bigger.

Sebastian was enrolled in Pre-K and while I was heading into work, I got a call from his teacher. I answered.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Mr. Miranda, this is Mrs. Quinn, the Superintendent of your son Sebastian Mirandas Pre-K learning facility."

"Okay.."

"I'm calling to inform you that Sebastian has been expelled."

"Why? What did he do? He's only 3!"

"Mr. Miranda, your child deliberately bit a child's arm and drew blood. We cannot tolerate that kind of behavior!"

"Sebastian is a sweet little guy. He would never do that unless someone provoked him. Did the teacher report anything?"

"Mr. Miranda, I know you may be frustrated, but your son has had multiple issues with other children. This was by far the worst incident."

"I'm having a hard time believing you. I know my son. I know who I raised. You will never find anyone as kind as him. I need to speak with his teacher."

"I assure you, you can speak with her when you arrive here, okay? But you need to come by today. There is an expulsion fee."

"Of course. Because you charge to breathe at that god damn place!"

I said before angrily hanging up. How dare she say my son did such things, when I know he would never!

I called Pippa, she was off today.

"Pippa?"

"Lin, what's wrong?"

"Sebastian's school called. He got expelled because apparently he bit a kid. I don't believe it. They said he's had other occasions where he didn't get along too."

"Oh my gosh..."

"I'm swinging home, then we're going to sort this out."

"Okay, I'll get ready.."

I hung up and shot Tommy Kail a text.

"I can't come in today. Something's going on with Seb."

I made my way back home, angry. I can't believe this.

Pippa met me at the door. I took her hand gently but grind my teeth together.

Once we got at the school, I marched straight to the superintendents office.

"Ah. Mr. An-"

"Skip the pleasant talks, let's get down to this."

"Your sons behavior has been irrational."

"I disagree."

"He's punched, kicked, and now bit children. You don't find that alarming?"

I went to speak, but Pippa cut me off.

"Mrs. Quinn, I assure you that my husbands frustration only stems from that fact that Sebastian has never acted like this at home or around kids in the park or any public setting. Are you maybe getting him confused with someone else?"

She shook her head.

"We'd like to see the teacher" I said and helped Pippa get up.

The superintendent nodded and lead us to the class room where my worst fears were confirmed.

Sebastian was biting a kids arm and flaring his arms around.
