The Unexpected

Leahs pov

I'm a kindergarten teacher and I've had this one kid in my class whose always been my most favorite. I try not to show favoritism but i love her. But I'm just now finding out that she, Veronica Lopez, is Jennifer's daughter? So Jens last name is Lopez? And I know Veronica's grandma well. Shes so nice and she loves that I'm her teacher. Me and her haven't met outside of school while me and Jen were together but we've met in a way that I didn't even know she was related to Jen.

This is too much right now..

Should I tell her or should I just let it happen that she finds out herself? I mean Veronica is someone who I would see as my school daughter..if that makes sense. But I literally told Jen that I'm not ready for a kid.. which is true but if it's Veronica then I've been ready. But I only know how to care for Veronica when she's in school. I don't know all the outside stuff. Now I feel even more horrible.

It may seem dumb because I've said I'm not ready for kids. I'm not. Kids are crazy but I've learned to handle them in my class. But whenever I see them with their parents acting up, I just get out of that zone and get annoyed. They scream, cry, whine and complain to much when things don't go their way. What I do, if that happens in my kindergarten class is put them on time out. They've developed to learn my system and I've gotten so many compliments from previous parents from when their kids used to be in my class a year or so ago, saying that their kids have become more mature than they've expected. Veronica is very mature. I always see her behave around her grandmother. It all matches up though that Jennifer actually is her mom. She never comes to my job because she has work early in the morning which is why her grandma always comes. Then she gets picked up by her too... great.

Throughout halfway of the week I just kept seeing all her stories of her on vacation.

'Love making new friends' was her caption of her with this pretty girl. I'm not the type to get jealous. I shouldn't jump to conclusions just because she met a new friend. But how did me and Jennifer meet? I know she's not one to be with someone right away like she said, she gave me a pass. But after me, I don't know if she'll want to date again or just stick to being single. But anyways.. that girl probably isn't gay but of course my mind says otherwise.

Then she had a group picture of her in a bikini along with her friend Vanessa, Veronica was standing in front of her cutely smiling at the camera and then a few other people that I've never seen. But Jen was laying her head on that same girl in the previous story.

Ugh I've gotta stop.

I swiped away from her story and moved on to other things. I shouldn't get mad because it's my fault that we broke up. I should be facing whatever happens after that. If she finds someone new that she likes, then I have to deal with it.

We're on our way back to California on the boat. I finally have service again. I've been using the boat WiFi but it's so slow. But it's fine because I spent most of my time having fun, then I posted everything before I went to sleep. I got to go to the club that they have here once while my daughter was at the kid camp. She loved the kid camp so I don't feel so guilty leaving her.

"Meet us at the deck! We're having breakfast" my new friend Lauren texts me. "Okay see you :)" I replied. Then I went on my social media and looked at my stories.

Leah watched them all. I would text her and ask her why she's up my ass but that's too much drama already. She's probably just watching me enjoy my time. She did say she wants me to be happy and maybe she's just seeing if I am happy. Which I am. I'm feeling better. Vanessa is the best for even suggesting this trip to me.
