Truth or Consequences

Summery: Set almost three years after the end of Secrets and Lies. It's been almost three years since Sean moved to Wasaga Beach with his and Emma's kids, baby Michael and baby Alyssa, leaving Emma in Toronto. She has just finished her freshman year of college and has been in a new relationship for almost a year. What happens when she gets a phone call one night that could change all of that?

Chapter 1

She was half awake laying in her bed when she heard her cell phone start to ring. She yawned as she grabbed it and pressed the talk button. "Hello?"

"Hey Em." she said hearing the chipper voice of her friend Darcy say. "So I was thinking that since today is the first official day of summer break that we could go out somewhere. Spin has the day off and you can bring that hottie of yours too if you want."

Emma yawned again as she looked at the clock before looking over at the calendar on her wall. "Alright give me about an hour and we'll meet you at the Dot alright."

"Great I'll tell Spin. See ya Em." Darcy said cheerfully before hanging up.

Emma hung up her cell phone and crawled out of her bed and took another look at the calendar. She had just finished her first year of college yesterday. She put a hand to the calendar and picked up her cell phone again.

She scrolled through her contact list until she came to the number she wanted. She started at the number before shaking her head. After everything that had happened she couldn't call him.

She quickly scrolled farther down the list and found her boyfriend's cell number. "Hey you want to meet up with me down at the Dot?" she asked when he answered. "Spend the first day of summer together? Great meet me there in an hour alright. Love you." she said before hanging up.

As she walked out of her bedroom to go take a shower her attention was caught by a picture sitting in a frame on her fireplace. She stared at the four people in it before placing it down. She didn't even remember why she had put it there in the first place. It was always hard explaining it when someone came over.

She went into the bathroom and took a quick shower before getting dressed. She grabbed her cell phone, purse and keys before walking out of her apartment. She never did hear the ringing of her telephone.

Emma walked into the Dot and smiled when she saw Spinner and Darcy sitting at one of the corner tables. "Hey guys so what are we doing today?" she asked sitting down across from them. Spinner and Darcy had become friends not too long after Ms. H let him back into Degrassi three years before. Their relationship had blossomed from there.

Spinner was shocked to see her there. "Don't you normally spend your break up north?" he asked. For the past two years every break that they had from school Emma spent somewhere up north. He had tried asking Manny where she went but she had never been willing to share that information.

Emma just shrugged. "I decided to stay home this time."

"We all know the reason for that." she heard a voice from behind her and smiled as she turned around.

"Of course how could I ever leave you?" she asked jokingly as her boyfriend, Peter Stone, sat down in the empty chair beside her. "So what are we doing today?" she asked as Peter put his arm over the back of her chair.

"Well Clown Academy Four just came out yesterday we could go see that?" Spinner suggested.

"They still make those?" Darcy asked him sounding surprised.

"Duh they're the best movies ever made." Emma and Peter sat back and watched the couple before he had an idea.

"You know there's a beach a couple hours up north we could go spend the day up there." he said. No one noticed Emma freeze when he brought it up.

"I don't really feel like going to the beach today." she said hoping they wouldn't ask any questions. "Is your dad home, Peter?"

Peter shook his head. "He won't be home until Saturday. We could all go there if you want?"

They all agreed about spending the day over at Peter's dad's house and quickly left the Dot. They stopped to grab snacks before going over to the house.

Emma and Darcy went into the spare room to change into their bathing suits after they got there. They slipped on their sandals and left their stuff in the room when they went back out so they could go swimming with their boyfriends. She didn't hear the ringing of her cell phone as she closed the door.

They spent the entire day swimming in the pool and occasionally the two girls sunbathe while Peter and Spinner talked about the new Clown Academy movie that he had wanted to see.

They all stayed there until it started to get dark and then the two guys took their girlfriends back home for the night. Emma walked into her apartment and sat down on her sofa. Sometimes she was amazed at everything that had happened this past year.

Manny had moved at the end of their senior year at Degrassi leaving Emma alone. She had started hanging out with Darcy when she found out they were going to be attending the same college.

Not too long after classes had started she had met Peter. They went on their first date not too long afterwards and had been going strong ever since. She didn't think she had ever been this happy in her entire life.

Just as she was getting ready to go to bed she heard her cell phone ring. She didn't bother to look at the caller id before answering. "Hello?"

"Emma it's Sean." her heart lept into her throat at the sound of his voice. "You need to come to Wasaga now. Something's wrong with Michael."
