"Joshua, why don't' i have the promo video yet?" I asked Bryony's boyfriend as I stuck my head out of my office.

He quickly jumped back from Bryony. " I'm editing it now" he replied as he reached for his laptop.

" well, no you're not, you're touching your girlfriend right now Josh" I watched him fidget. Good, I made him anxious.

Bryony rolled her lips into her mouth. I winked at her. " send it to me by lunchtime" I said before shutting my door and sitting down in my chair.

I smiled as I shook my head. Josh has been good to the team, making videos and short films for the team. I even had the football coach trying to steal him away.

My phone alarm went off with t was 8 o'clock which meant it was time for the end of the training. I had left tina to train them today since I needed to deal with some other things.

I opened my office door and headed to the pool. I never expected to see what i saw in the pool. Not only were the team not training but Theo and Dillon were in the pool.

"I, uh what's going on" I whispered to Scott. He stood next to me chewing on a protein bar watching on with the smile on its face.

He groaned " what does it look like coach, little champ is learning to swim"

I watched as Theo stood in the pool shirtless as he continued to support Dillan's body through the water. They all seemed to be cheering him on but he wasn't swimming.

" guys be quiet," I said loud enough for everyone to hear. They stopped clapping and cheering. An eery silence echoed around the room.

Theo turned to face me.

" How is he supposed to concentrate on learning how to swim when your screaming at him. " I watched many of their faces drop.

I walked over to Theo and Dillan. " Keep going, try to not let him see you" I nodded as Theo moved to Dillon's side keeping his hand underneath Dillon's stomach.

" Hey Dillon, you're doing amazing do you wanna try kicking for me," I asked him. He turned his eyes to me. It looked like it took him a while to recognise me but soon enough he smiled that cheesy grin.

Slowly he began to kick his little legs. "That's it, isn't that fun" I cooed watching his face go from anxious to excitement. Poor thing was so nervous.

Theo didn't have to be told he moved around the in front of his son and held his arms before swimming.

" Kick kick kick" I chanted to him.

"Here" Scott crouched down next to me handing me a square float.

Oh brilliant. I handed it over to Theo who positioned it under Dillon.

Theo took over telling Dillan to use his arms and legs at the same time. It was a cute moment to see them together but I knew that this was Theo's job, I'm just glad I could have helped.

For the rest of the hour that Theo was here, I hid out in my office. I couldn't even face Dillan even if I tried.

" Elle"

Theo popped his head inside with Dillan in his arms.

The little boy stared at me a silly smile on his face, it matched his fathers.

" Elleee" Dillan screamed pushing out of Theo's arms and running over to me. He hugged my legs, wrapping his tiny fingers around me.

"Dillan, what did I say" Theo came inside going to grab Dillan but i put my hand up. Mouthing "it's okay"
