Hey! So I've had this idea for a very long time, and I've decided to write it down. Before we begin I just want to say that this is a Jemma story. And Jax had VERY good reasons for leaving. That's all I'm gonna say. Here you go.

Emma POV

Finally! Another exhausting day at work is done. Ever since I had Kelsea, making things work is tough. My dad is living with the VanPelts since he and Mrs. Vanpelt are married. He let me keep the house, since it's paid off and he doesn't want to sell it. And Maddie gave me a job at her fashion label, she's much nicer now. I can't work very long hours though, since I have to take care of Kelsea. People help me out a lot though.

There are some times when I really miss Jax. I never understood what went wrong. We were doing great, even talking about getting married. Then the day I was gonna tell him about the baby, he dumped me before I got the chance. I never asked why, I was so distraught I just walked out. A week later he left for Australia. Not even a goodbye.

Jessie and I still talk. Sometimes she watches Kelsea. She never told Jax, because she said it wasn't her place. She's mad at him, and I am too. Kelsea and Jessie are close, which is understandable. Jessie was there for me a lot, sometimes more than everyone else. I think it's her way of trying to make up for Jax not being there. She even helped me get through my very painful six hour labor.

And then there's the fact that Kelsea is named after Jessie. Jessie's full name is Jessica Kelsea Novoa. I always loved that name. They are also kind of close in age, sort of. Kelsea was... well I don't talk about it. Let's just say that Kelsea is about to be four, and Jessie is 16.

I just got home, and Danny and I are getting Kelsea in the car. We need to go to the grocery store and pick up some things. Phillip and Andi are having their engagement barbecue tonight. Yes, barbecue. They are very strange people.

We drive up to the store and I grab Kelsea out of her car seat. We go get a cart and grab the things we need. Paper plates, check. Napkins, check. Plastic silverware, check.

We near the candy isle, and I try to hurry past it. I know Kelsea will want some watermelon gummy bears, they're her favorite. Just like her father. Every resemblance makes my heart ache, and there are so many.

We get there and Kelsea starts bouncing in her seat, pointing to the isle. I grimace, knowing what comes next. Here we go.

"Mommy, mommy! Gummy bears, gummy bears!" She exclaims, still pointing.

"Honey, we have to go to Auntie Andi's and Uncle Phillip's. We have to help set up the party." I remind, knowing it's pointless. This happens every single time, and it always ends the same way.

"Pleeeeaaasssee!" She begs, bringing out the puppy dog eyes. Ugh! Why does she have to look so adorable? She gets it from Jax. Why did she have to get his adorableness?! I grimace, biting my lip, and sigh.

"Fine." I give in, steering toward the isle. She claps.

"Thank you mommy!" She says. I smile.

"You're welcome baby. Now, what flavor do you want?" I ask, knowing the answer. Watermelon, it's always watermelon. She's so much like Jax it's funny.

"Watermelon!" She exclaims. I chuckle. Predictable, probably the only obvious trait she got from me. I go to reach for the package, and a hand touches mine. I recognize those sparks anywhere.

No. Please no. That's impossible! He left, went to Australia and never came back. Jessie would've given me a heads up if he did. There is no way it's him. Please don't let it be him. I can't deal with him, especially right now. I couldn't handle it. Please don't be him, please don't be him, please-

"Oh, sorry." He says in that familiar accent. He backs away and I see his face. No, no no no no no. It can't be him.

"I-it's okay." I stutter, grabbing the package. I hope he doesn't recognize me, that's he last thing I want tonight. I turn to drop them in the cart, and then it happens.

"This may seem really straightforward, but do I know you?" He asks. I close my eyes, desperate not to stutter. I turn to him.

"Nope. I don't think so. I've never seen you before in my life." I say, laughing nervously. He still looks like he isn't buying it.

"Are you sure? I swear I recognize you from somewhere." He says, puzzled. This whole time Kelsea is staring in silence, probably wondering what the heck is up with me.

"Yep. I'm sure. Sure as a tree is alive. Wait that doesn't make any sense, but anyway uh-" Then the absolute most horrible thing possible right now happens.

"Hey Em, what's taking so long? Andi and Phillip are wai-" I hear Daniel familiar voice as he enters the isle. He stops when he sees Jax, then looks at me. I really want to disappear right now. Jax gets this look of recognition in his eyes. Why Daniel why?

"Em? Emma. Is that you?" He asks, taking a step toward me. I take a step back.

"Oh would you look at the time. Gotta run. Let's go Daniel." I say in a panicked voice steering us out of the isle.

"Wee!" Kelsea exclaims with her hands in the air. She's a little daredevil. I swear it's hard to see anything but Jax in her. And believe me I've tried.

I hear footsteps following us to the register. Please don't follow us.

We check out and I hear Jax following us. Danny and I are rushing out, and make it to the car, when he speaks.

"Wait!" He shouts. I stop and turn around, grimacing before I do. Daniel is putting Kelsea in her car seat.

"Look. I told you before. I don't know you. I've never seen you before in my life. So if you'll excuse me, I have a party to go to." I lie with a huff, getting in the car. Daniel does the same.

"Start the car. Now." I demand. He searches his pockets, and finds them empty. Ugh. I know Jax did this.

"You know what, screw it." I say, casting a spell to make the car drive itself. Daniel gives me a look.

"What?" I snap. I'm in a bad mood.

"You do realize that you just cast a spell in front of Jax, right? Because now he definitely knows it was you." He says slowly. My eyes widen at the realization. That was his plan! My magic is unique to me, so he was testing me! I softly bang my head on the dashboard.

"No. No. No. No. No" I repeat, in sync with the hits. Danny chuckles and tangles his fingers in my hair. I stop hitting my head, but don't pick it up.

"Mommy, why are you sad?" Kelsea asks, no doubt with a mouthful of gummy bears. Jax used to do the same thing when he cared more about the question at hand than the fact that it was gross.

"Don't worry about it sweetie. Mommy's fine." I say, looking at her with a smile. She's smiling back at me, a handful of gummy bears in her right hand. I turn back to the road, letting my smile slip.

That was him. He knows, sort of. I always hoped it would never come to this. That the past would stay the past. I was only nineteen, and now I'm almost twenty two. Bad things happened, I almost lost my daughter. And that whole time he was nowhere to be found. Kelsea's not even supposed to be two yet, but what Liana did took so much time away.

I just hope he forgets this. I promised myself that never again would I fall victim to the charm and good looks of Jax Novoa. And I don't know how long I can keep that promise if I see him again. Either way, I need to talk to Andi about this.

So that was chapter one. I assure you, Jax is NOT a jerk. He had good reasons. Anyway, what did you think of Kelsea? I tried to create my ideal Jemma child, besides what happened to her. And pretty soon you'll find out what happened. Please review, and tell me if you like it and want more. Oh and again, JEMMA story. This won't be all sadness and hatred forever.

Peace out Skittles! (Funny right? (; )
