Emilee's POV

I woke up with Amy beside me on the couch. I groaned as I got up.

My back hurt, stupid couch!

I looked at my belly.

Did I just gain more weight over night?!

Ugh, I blame all the pizza, pop and ice cream.

I've been eating so much lately, I'm not even kidding!

Thinking about food makes my stomach upset.

I ran to the bathroom and puked.

Ugh, I hated puking!

I rinsed off my mouth and left back to the living room.

I saw Amy on the couch, wide awake.

"Morning," Amy yawned.

"Good morning." I slumped down beside her on the couch, frowning.

Amy studied me for a minute. "What's wrong?"

"Oh, I just miss my son more than anything. I never knew I could miss someone as much as I miss Chase." I covered my hands over my face, and started to cry.

"Awe, you can always have more children." Amy hugged me.

"Yeah, but I can't have Chase back. I feel like a terrible mother!" I sobbed.

"I bet you're not that bad."

I heard the door open, I looked up and saw Josh holding Chase.

"Hey, Emilee, hey Amy. Wait! Amy?! What are you doing here?!" Josh spat.

They know each other?

"She's the one trying to get my mind off of my boyfriend leaving with my son! How could you?! I trusted you!" I went up to him and took Chase. "You can leave now."

"Emilee? But-"

"Just save it," I tried my hardest to avoid tears spilling out of my eyes.

"I never meant to hurt you! I just thought you needed space-"

"Josh, it's best if you leave," Amy butted in.

"Stay out of this," Josh hissed at Amy.

"Don't tell her what to do!" I spat.

"Emilee, just let me explain!"

"There is nothing to explain!"

"I will be back, I won't let you go, Emilee! I love you!" Josh told me.

I walked back to the couch as Amy closed the door on him.

"I'm guessing this is your son, and that was your boyfriend?"

"Yeah, how do you know him?"

"We um... kind of, slept together..." Amy replied.

"When?"

"A few months ago, like five maybe?"

"Amy, could you please get out?" I cried.

"Why?"

"Just please, go home."

"Em-"

"Goodbye, Amy."

She walked out, slamming the door.

I turned my attention to Case.

I hugged him as tight as I could, I missed him so much!

"Chase, you have no idea how much I missed you!" I cried. "I love you, so much!"

I just sat there, crying.

I want Haley here, I need Haley here!

Why did she have to go to university?!

I cried, cried and did more crying. 

_________

Haley's POV

I hated this teacher so much!

I was on the edge of throwing paper air planes at her!

The bell rang, about time!

I checked my phone and saw I had twenty-nine voicemails, and sixty-two texts.

I listened to the voicemails first.

They were all from Emilee crying and crying.

Why is she so emotional?

I checked the messages and saw two were from Chris, one was from Jessica, a friend I met here, three were from Kelsey, another friend from here, one was from Drake, my best guy friend from here. The rest were from Emilee.

I called her. "Haley?!" Em cried.

"Emilee, what's wrong?"

"Come back, please Haley! I'm begging you! I need you here!"

"Emilee, I-"

She hung up, huh.

What's bugging her so much?

I put my phone away and saw Chris. I yanked him by the arm.

"I need your help."

______

Emilee's POV

Crying.

It's worthless and pointless.

Then why can't I stop?

Oh yeah, my dick of a 'boyfriend'.

It's been three hours since Josh came. I've been crying ever since.

I even skipped lunch, because I'm already too fat and I haven't even thought about eating.

Chase was asleep in my arms, he must of been tired of hearing his mother cry, I know I am.

I brought him to his crib. I miss the old days.

Yes, I once again hate my boyfriend but I miss him, too.

I walked back to the living room once I put Chase into bed.

There must be a few letters waiting for me so I opened the front door and looked in my mini basket were mail comes. I found a few letters but I saw something strange out of the corner of my eye.

I looked and saw Josh sitting right in front of my door.

No one knows how badly I wanted to leap into his arms, but I tried my best to not do so.

"I've been here the whole time." He waited for me to say something but I didn't say anything. "I called Amanda."

I didn't say anthing.

"She's babysitting Chase."

"No."

I walked back into the apartment, not closing the door, allowing him to go in.

He did follow me, but my back was towards him until he gripped my arm and swung me around.

"Go shower and get dressed," he eyed me up and down and noticed I was still in my pajamas.

He lead me to the bathroom, and of course, I tried getting out of his grip.

"Now shower, but don't even bother jumping out of the window, we're on the second floor, you'll break your legs."

"I'm willing to do it."

Josh rolled his eyes. "Just shower."

______

Josh's POV

I should have never left, but I thought she needed some space so I spent the night at my place.

Did she think I left her?

I could never ever do that to do! I love her too much.

Why else would I ask her to be Emilee Michaels?

I went to Chase's nursery. I saw him in his crib. He was asleep, cute little chump.

He really likes my mom, Bob and Dylan. Tristan, Allie, and Tori can't hold him yet, considering they're only three months and the size of Chase.

I'm so glad Victoria, Allison, or Tristan didn't die, I couldn't live without them.

"I don't know if Mommy likes me anymore, but I love her and you to death. I would be heart broken if we ended up breaking up."

I knew Chase couldn't hear or understand me but I didn't care.

He was too cute when he was sleeping.

"I don't have anything good to wear!" I heard Emilee complain.

I walked to our room and saw Emilee in a towel on the ground, sitting in front of her closet.

"Well, you look hot in anything so it must not be that hard."

I saw Emilee's cheek flush a cute red.

I looked through her closet. "You look amazing in red so wear this."

I handed her a red, skin tight dress.

"Why do I have to get dressed up?" She asked.

"Because, now do it!" I demanded.

"Well, you have to leave."

"Normally, you'd let me stay and watch you change - okay."

I walked out and heard a knock on the door. That must be Amanda.

______

Emilee's POV

I hate this dress.

It shows off all my fat, and it only goes to my mid thigh!

I feel like a slut, not a mom.

I didn't want to dress up, especially not for Josh.

I got out of the room and heard chitter chatter coming from the living room.

I swear, if Amy is back, I will knock her teeth down her throat.

Can't believe I trusted her.

Can't really trust anyone these days.

I walked to the living room and saw Amanda and Josh talking.

I hid a little behind the wall, because I didn't want them to see me.

"So he's asleep?" Amanda asked.

"Yes, and we'll be back in hours. Well, we might be home tomorrow, I think we'll stay at a hotel tonight."

"Huh?" I asked.

"Nothing," Josh replied quickly. Too quickly.

"Hey, Emilee," Mandy smiled.

"Hey, Mandy."

I hugged her.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Nothing."

"Then why are your eyes red, and same with your face?" Amanda asked.

Tears came to my eyes as I thought about it again.

"Awe, Emilee," Amanda put me in her arms again. "Let me do your make up."

"No, it might get ruined."

"Just don't cry," Mandy smiled weakly.

"I might have to," my voice became stratchy and tears spilled out.

Amanda put me in her arms again. I felt ashamed.

I quickly got away from her and dried my eyes.

"Come on," she dragged me to the bathroom and started doing my make up and curling my blonde locks.

Why is she pampering me up?

I wanted to break down and cry, but I managed to hold back the tears.

After an hour, Amanda finally finished.

"You kids have fun!" Amanda giggled as she waved.

I really didn't want to talk to Josh right now. I didn't want to talk at all, actually.

Why did I even agree to this? Oh yeah, I didn't.

And what's this? I don't even know.

Josh led me to his car.

"You look beautiful," he complimented.

I didn't talk. I couldn't because if I did, I'd only cry. Why the hell am I so emotional lately?

"Nice weather, huh?" Josh tried making small talk, but he failed miserably at it. "Emilee, please talk to mer, or at least let me explain."

I didn't say anything, I just looked outside at the dark sky as we started driving.

"Fine, two can play this game," he said dryly. It only lasted seconds, until he said, "Emilee, I can't ignore you, you're to special."

After a while, we arrived by a place with many hills, and a few trees. I didn't reconize it.

Josh got out and helped me out.

He held my hand (which, I really didn't want him to do) as we walked up and down a hill.

It was actually pretty warm, right now.

I gasped as we got at the top of the hill.

I saw a table set up for two, with a candle and rose on it, two chairs, a violin player, and a few Christmas decoration lights.

Josh led me down there and sat me down on one of the chairs.

"Perfect spot to let me explain, huh?" Josh asked.

I didn't say anything. I was still kind of mad at him.

"Well, you were really mad so I wanted to leave you alone for a bit. So, I left only for a bit. Did you think I left you? Because I could never do that! You're amazing, funny, smart, beautiful and any guy would kill just to be with you, and I'm so lucky that I get a chance with you, and I don't want to mess it up again. Emilee, I love you, we're a family, and I can't picture life without you. We can delay a marriage for months, even years! I don't care, as long as I get to marry the love of my life."

"Everyone deserves a second chance." I saw his face lit up, "but, strike three, you're out."

He got up and took me in his arms.

I released and he planted a kiss on my lips.

We danced and had the best night of our lives.

This couldn't get any better.

Josh and I went to a hotel and were planning on staying there for the night.

I got a call.

"Hey, Mandy, what's up?" I answered.

"Emilee! Get here now! It's Chase."

"What about him?" I asked.

"Chase is sick, really sick. He hasn't woken up in a while. If I didn't know any better, I'd think h-he died."
