Chapter 1
Trapped
a/n: This story takes place after the second season. So Emma and Sean are together. Craig and Manny aren't a couple like in my last story, lets just say they broke up at some point.

"Emma!" Yelled Christine from downstairs. "Emma, what are you doing up there? Archie is waiting for us! You have 5 minutes to come down here or else we're leaving you!"

"Was that your mom?" Asked Manny over the phone.

"Yeah, she's really irritable lately. She's making us visit Snake's family."

"It might be fun." Emma sighed. Why did Manny have to be so darn optimistic?

" I had plans for this summer, you know. I had better things to do than meet the Simpsons." Emma said angrily and threw another t-shirt in her already overstuffed bag.

"Plans? Like what?" Manny asked suspiciously. Emma didn't want to talk with Manny about Sean. It would only make her best friend miserable about her recent break up.

"Emma? Emma are you there?" Manny asked.

"Gotta go Manny. See you when I get back." Emma said quickly and hung up the phone.

Manny didn't even try to call back. She knew why Emma had hung up. It was because of the whole break up thing. Emma had been so distant after she and Craig spilt. "Manuella? Are you still on the phone with Emma?" Asked Mrs. Santos. Manny sighed.

*********************************************************************************************
Emma felt so guilty hanging up on Manny like that. It was just so hard seeing Manny all depressed over Craig.

" Two weeks,14 days, 336 hours, 20,160 minutes." Emma said as she collapsed on her bed.

"What?" Asked a very pregnant Christine.

"Oh, mom, I didn't see there. " Emma said startled.

"Sorry, now are you ready?" Christine asked impatiently.

" Can I call Sean and say good-bye first?" Emma asked. Christine sighed reluctantly. Emma quickly dialed Sean's number and waiting for him to pick up.

" Too early to take calls." Said a voice with a combination of sleepy/cranky in it.

" It's noon." Emma said. She didn't expect Tracker to answer.

" Sean's not here." Tracker said sleepily.

" Where is he?" Emma asked. It wasn't like Sean to just up and leave before 2:00.

"Rachel," Tracker yawned loudly "he'll be with her for a while. I'll tell him to call you." Rachel? Emma thought.

" I just called to say good-bye."

"Good-bye." Tracker said and hung up.

"Big dope!" Emma said unaware that her mother was still in the room. Suddenly Christine's eyes filled with tears.

"I am not fat!" She said as she tried to run out of the room. How sensitive are some pregos? Before Emma could calm her mother down Archie entered the room.

"Times a-wastin' ladies." He said and ushered them out of the room.

As her 'road trip' began Emma couldn't help but wonder who Rachel was and why was Sean with her.
