fandomtownies | What it Takes Monday Morning

Paige walks in on her way to work at the muesum "Gabby? I need to speak to you if you're not busy"

"Of course Paige." Gabby says, "Come in."

She bites her lip for a moment working out exactly what to say, "erm this is sort of, well majorly embarrassing but...do you read The Tenticle?" she asks

"The what?" Gabby asks, having no idea what she is talking about

Paige takes a deep breath, she knew she had to tell Gabby about the photo, she was bound to find out eventually. "there's been a rather...private photo of me and another student posted on the internet. I thought I should tell before you decided whether to take me on."

Gabby looks seriously at her before speaking. "Sweetie, I had an affair with my at the time 17 year old gardener." she says simply.

"Oh right, okay, but at least there weren't naked photos of you and him together on the net right?" she replies feeling distinctly less worried than she had been

"No." Gabby shakes her head. "There weren't. But since Carlos was messing with my birth control and I was sleeping with John and Carlos. Carlos may not be the father of this child."

She bites her lip "wow that's a really shitty thing to do, I'm sorry. So do you still want me on your books? I understand completely if you'd rather not, I mean it could a little scandleous"

"Paige, there is nothing wrong with a little scandal, in fact it might produce positive results." Gabby nods. "I'm not going to fire you because you made a mistake and it was exploited and I don't think you want to give up." she says. "You're stronger than that. Maybe this scandal is just what What It Takes needs to get on it's feet. Publictity, postitive or negative can always be a good thing."

"Well if you think maybe it could I guess it's not all bad then. Thanks for being so understanding, I figured I should tell you though I really didn't want you finding out from someone else.@

"No problem Paige, everyone makes mistakes. I was going to go and look for some...erm maternity clothes if you wanted to come along we could talk more." Gabby suggests.

Paige smiles "yeah that'd be cool, I'm meant to be wearing a pregnancy vest for one of my classes, but well I decided against it, only don't tell anyone okay! I guess maybe this will help me make something up! Thanks Gabby"

"Who's making you wear a pregnancy vest?" Gabby asks.

"Mrs Van Der Kamp, the Home Ec teacher, we had to look after egg babies last week, I'm pretty sure she's trying to mess with my head!" she tells her, laughing slightly

"Van De Kamp? Bree Van De Kamp?" Gabby questions.

Paige bites her lip she tries to remember if she know's her name "I'm not sure, sorry, she's sort of...old fashioned, pretty sweet really, she brings food to class for us and erm is a little patronising, oh and she has red hair. Do you know her then?"

"I think I do actually." Gabby says. "Tell her Gabrielle says hello and to give me a call."

"sure thing, I have a class with her tomorrow so I'll mention it then. I kinda have to go to work now, but I could stop by later if you want. Erm is James Ford still working here?" she asks
