Jaime woke up, it was the last day of term and she was glad, she was feeling worse and worse, her head was killing her and she felt sick constantly, she knew that she was pregnant, she knew it. She was scared to take the test especially when she didn't have any idea of who the dad was. Jack was right, he said this would blow up in her face and it had just had. Jaime poured herself a cup of tea, the smell of coffee was making her ill. Jack walked down into the kitchen and smiled at Jaime "are you okay?" jack asked and Charlee sighed "no...im not" Jaime said "what is it" jack asked concerned "ive messed up...and I don't know what to do" Jaime said "jay" "im pregnant daddy" Jaime said bursting into tears. Jack pulled her into a hug as she cried "so you know who the father is" jack asked "no...Ive messed up big time" "its okay....we can find out ill stick by you, you know that" jack said and Jaime nodded as phone vibrated, she looked to see tom was ringing and clicked decline "they need to know" jack said and Jaime nodded.

Jaime got to work and glanced to see the banner with the talent show, she knew that the kids would be up a hype today. She locked her car when she felt a pair of hands on her hips. Jaime jumped "alright jumpy" tom asked and Jaime turned around and glared at him. "You gave me a heart attack tom" Jaime said as she noticed grantly all dressed up in a suit "now since when does grantly make an effort" Jaime asked "alright grantly? Looking smart" tom said "I thought I'd make an effort, upcoming celebration... Morning children" grantly said "what is that all about? Upcoming celebration? Does he mean the end of term" Jaime asked "haven't the foggiest" tom said as they walked into the school. "I have to go see Rachel...bit I'll catch up with you later" Jaime said as she headed off towards the office as Chris walked out "morning" Chris said cheerily "someone's full of joys...I can't see why" Jaime said a ssje felt nauseous again "he's got Kerplunk in the car" Rachel said as Jaime stood in the office "you look terrible, are you okay" Rachel asked and Jaime chuckled to herself "I'm fine...I'm just tired. Anyway, are you ready for your meeting" Jaime asked "I hope so...o think we've made so progress despite the difficultly" Rachel said "difficultly? You mean max?" Jaime asked "no, I don't" Rachel said and Jaime looked at her "yes I do..I know I'm as much to blame as him I do know that" Rachel said "hold up, is this Rachel mason admitting she's wrong" Jaime asked "she's admitting that she and max have spent to much time fighting" Rachel said "I know max, rach, and he does want the best, but I know what he's like just be careful" Jaime said
********************
Jaime found max down the hall and told him about Rachel wanting to call and truce. "The point is max, she's willing to call it truce" Jaime said "well, if she really wants to become a team player that's great news" max said "and you max...I know you, are you willing to meet her half way" Jaime asked "of course and then we can finally get this school working" max said "finally, its enough with you two are each others throats" Jaime said as max looked to her "you look tired" max said "yeah..its sweet of you to notice, all I can say is thank god its the end of term" Jaime said
*************************
Jaime headed to the hall, as the talent show started, she sat next to top who had his hand on her leg. Jaime placed her hand on top of his "hands to yourself clarkson" Jaime mumbled. As he chuckled. Jaime sat watching the talent show, when she felt the urge to be sick "save my seat" Jaime said as she walked out if the hall and out of the school. She stood by the steps trying to get some air before the nausea hit her and she vomited over a wall.
************************
Jaime headed into the school and into the office to see Chris and Rachel in the office "what's going on" Jaime asked and Chris looked to Jaime "you know max...you tell her that her resigning will be a disaster" chrisbsiad and Jaime frowned "your resigning?" "I can't stay here...not after what he did Jaime...he made it seem like I was the problem in that meeting, the school, the kids will be better off without me" Rachel said and Jaime frowned "bit they won't rach, your the main reason why this school is still open it was up for closing when you started...you made a difference" Jaime said"I can't stay here...when he's here Jaime, Philip said some nasty things during his act and I can't stay here, I need to call the LEA, they need to find a new head" Rachel said as she picked up the phone. Jaime walked off backstage of the talent show "ruby...how's things going" Jaime asked "alright....though Philips act is hard to follow" ruby said "I hears he was out of hand" "out of hard, it was awful and poor max having to sit through it" ruby said "I'm sure max and his ego will survive" Jaime said "I knew something wasn't right before he went n, he was all moody" "that doesn't seem like Philip" "I know..you should of seen his react when I talked about his bruise thing" ruby said "what bruise" Jaime asked
**********************
Jaime found Philip sitting in the common room "I hears about your act with Mr Tyler want to tell me what's going on.... Mrs fry is concerned about that bruise" "I told her its nothing" Philip said "right....so how's the football training going" Jaime asked "good" "hmm..so what position is it you play" "miss...don't I know what your doing" Philip said "I'm just asking you about football" "you know I don't do football let's just stop messing about" "okay, let's stop messing about" Jaime said as she took a seat next to him "so, are you going to tell about how you got that bruise" jaimenasked "I can't say" "why not" "miss...I just can't say, just don't ask me again okay" Philip said "no, Phil its not okay. You are a pupil of this school right and not only that your my friends nephew and if someone's hurt you I want to know...so you can take as long as you like but I'm not leaving until you tell me" Jaime said "it was mr Tyler" Philip said and Jaime sighed

Jaime walked into the office to see max, packing up his things "can you believe it, they've suspended me with immediate effect" max said and Jaime looked at him "how could you do it? He's just a kid max" Jaime said "oh come on, I expect more form you Jaime, this Is ridiculous" max said "ridiculous?" "It was one time a rush of blood. You know what I'm talking about" max said "no, I don't as when I have a rush of blood I often end up in bed with you.... You know what I don't know what's worse the fact that you've done it or the fact your not even sorry about it" Jaime said "of course I'm sorry..look this is stupid, we've got a future you and me, once you finish with tom clarkson..let's focus on that" max said as he walked over to Jaime "no, let talk how you assaulted a pupil" "I was under a lot of pressure" max siadb"under pressure? Okay let's talk about Lindsay James who was sexually abused by her dad until she finally snapped, everyone is under some kind of pressure in this school and your the only one using it as an excuse to hit kids" Jaime yelled "your angry, I get It but let's not kid ourselves you can't walk away from what we have" max said stepping closer to Jaime "you known what I loved you...I loved you so much and that's before I had any idea of what you were capable of...I'm down" Jaime said turning around and turning her back on max. "Jaime come back" max yelled as  Jaime had tearsi n her eyes and passed Rachel who was with security.

Jaime sat in her classroom upset when the door opened and she looked up to see Jennifer headley,Max's wife "so your the one" she asked Jaime "yeah...In the one, well I was until this afternoon" Jaime said "yeah that came as a shock to me to, the thing about max he's great hwne everything is going his way, when it goes wrong so does he" "I'm...I'm really sorry...if I caused any trouble I had no idea he was married" Jaime said as Rachel walked into the classroom "oh hi" Rachel said "I've spoken to your chair and called the office, everyone's in agreement max is suspended, its unlikely he'll ever teach again" Jennifer said "I see" Rachel said as Jennifer walked out of the classroom "you okay" Rachel asked Jaime as she starred into space "yeah" jaime said nodding "yes I am" Jaime said "were all going to head down the pub, we all really need a drink do you fancy it" Rachel asked "no, I'm not in the mood I just want to be by myself" Jaime said "if you change your mind" Rachel said and Jaime nodded.
