The new dad in town

Stay?

Dianne PoV

As I walked into school with joes little girl holding onto my hand swinging it back and forth I couldn't help but notice all the other mothers staring and whispering at me and her. Yes it looks odd taking a child who I only met a couple of hours ago to school but it was practical. I led India through the door and took her coat of and hung it up. I then took her to the class Room. She went of and played with the toys whilst I sorted out my desk and got everything ready for the day. The other students were in the playground but it was just easier to take India in with me.
"Morning Dianne how are you" asked my best friendand roommate She's also the teaching assistant for my class
"Good thank you Alice sorry I didn't come back last night"
"It's fine where were you" before I answered India seemed to have lost interest in the dolls house she came running over to me and jumped onto my lap
"She came round my house and stayed wiv my daddy"
I felt myself go bright red.
"Not like that, I went over there and he taught me how to draw nothing else I promise"
"If you say so" she said smirking luckily the bell rang and the students came flooding in. I put India on the floor not wanting the others to feel jealous and continued my day as normal.

I had been looking for work all day with no luck at all I was starting to annoyed it was now 2:30 and I knew dianne and India would be back soon. All I wanted to to was cuddle with my girls and have a night in. Geez when did I become so domesticated!
20 minutes later the door opens and I'm greeted with a screaming child calling my name and running over to me jumping up and down on my stomach.
"Daddy daddy guess what I made hand pwints in paint at school and I did it in bwu becos it's your faverit colour!" She waved the piece of paper in my face wanting me to see every inch of the picture
"It's lovely princess I'll put it on the fridge" I stand up and head over to the fridge, I see dianne picking up India's lunch box and book bag which she clearly abandoned as soon as she walked in the door.
"I'm sorry she just dumped everything you didn't have to pick it all up I could have done it"
"No problem I was just coming to say goodbye I'm heading home now so I'll see you tomorrow" my heart sunk I didn't want her to go
"No please stay"
"I'd love to but I haven't got any clothes and I really need a shower!"
I was really disappointed I so wanted her to stay another night
"Unless I go pack a bag have a quick shower and come back after little ones asleep?" Her question brought a smile to my lips
"I'd like that very much miss Buswell"
I lean in about to kiss her until
"Daddyyyyy I'm hungryyyyy"
We both pull away slightly startled and laugh, she quickly kisses my cheek, picks up her bag and walks out the door.
I can't wait to see what tonight will bring...
