Next morning Amy woke up not remembering she had fallen asleep with Emma on her chest. She slowly picked her up and took Emma and placed her on the crib. Amy went and took a shower and got dressed. When she got to the kitchen Lauren was already up.

"Good morning." Lauren said to her stepsister.

"What are you doing up so early?" Amy wondered.

"I have to be at the shop because I have a 3 clients wanting to see me." Lauren responded. "Did you guys have fun last night?"

Amy smiled and nodded. "I made her dinner and then I gave her some fruit. We ended watching a movie and when it was time for her bedtime she didn't want to stay in her room so I took her and read her one of the books I had gotten her and next thing I know we're both knocked out. And you, how was dinner?"

"It was nice. We hadn't seen each other in a long time." Lauren had no idea how to tell Amy the engagement news.

"Any novelties?" Amy questioned.

Lauren had been thinking a way to give her the news. "Well… There's one…" Lauren started, "but I don't know if you're going to like it. Its about Karma."

"What is it?" Amy grew curious.

"She's..." Lauren paused and looked at Amy who was taking a bite of her breakfast, "She's getting married."

Amy's face was pale. It was like someone had dumped a bucket of cold water over her. "Tell her I said congrats." She said trying her best not to flip.

"Amy." Lauren said. She knew what Amy was doing, that was her defense mechanism she would pretend like she didn't care about anything but deep down it tore her apart. "Don't go all quiet on me."

"I'm not. Really." She assured her. "I'm happy for her. If that's her happiness I'm fine with it. Its just I'm going to need time to process it. That's all." She told Lauren.

"She also wants you to go to the wedding." Lauren said softly, she knew saying this was pushing it.

Amy almost choked with what she was eating. "You're kidding. Right?" Lauren shook her head. "That's not happening and you know it." Amy said firmly.

"Just think about it." Lauren suggested.

"There's no need. Why in the world would I go to a wedding between the girl I gave my heart to and she broke it not once but twice. And to top it all off she's marrying the one guy I despise with all that I have. I'm very sorry but there's nothing to think about." Amy countered she looked at the time, "Anyway I'm leaving I have work."

"Remember that tonight we're having dinner at out parents." Lauren reminded Amy.

"Right." Amy had forgotten all about it. "See you there." She exited the house and got in her Range Rover and made her way to work.


Later that day, Amy's shift had ended. She arrived at her mother's house. Farrah and Bruce moved back to Dallas shortly after Amy did. They wanted to be closer to their girls.

"Guys." Amy said entering the house.

"Were in the dining room." Farrah replied loud enough so that she could hear it.

"Hey mom." She greeted her mom with a hug and she did the same with Bruce. They all got along better than they did when she was in high school. "Hi munchkin." She said to her niece kissing the top of her head.

They all began eating and making small talk, catching up in each other's life.

"So, Amy when I'm going to meet this girlfriend of yours?" Farrah asked her daughter. She learned Amy had been seeing someone about two weeks ago.

"Hopefully never." Lauren quipped. It was no secret to Amy that Lauren wasn't very fond of Lindsay. Lauren had become a bit protective over Amy.

Amy rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Come on." Amy protested, "Cut her some slack. And to answer your question mother, I don't think that will be happening anytime soon. We haven't been dating that long. It's too soon to bring her over."

"Oh Amy I just want to meet her." Her mom explained. "You haven't brought someone home in forever." The last person that Farrah had met was Karma and she didn't count because Farrah knew her since kindergarten.

"And I promise if this goes deeper you will, but for now let's keep it this way." Amy assured her mom.

"Emma, honey do you like Lindsay?" Lauren asked playfully to her daughter.

Emma took a while to process what she had been asked but as soon as she registered she began shaking her head saying "No". "No." She said. Her whole face expression changed.

"See. Children don't lie." Lauren said smirking.

Amy tried as much as she could not to laugh but failed. She thought it was cute that her niece didn't get along with her current girlfriend. "You know what? I have an idea Sunday after you guys go to church let's have a barbecue at the house and I'll invite her so you can see what I see in her."

Farrah clapped in excitement. "Perfect its settled then."


After dinner at her mom's Amy was going to the movies with Lindsay. As she approached her girlfriend's residence she honked the horn. Couple of minutes later Lindsay came out. Lindsay had wavy long black hair. She had a bohemian style when its came to clothing. Personality wise Lindsay was usually nice, she occasionally would have this mood swings but overall she was a kind person.

"Hey cutie." Lindsay said giving a quick peck on the lips to Amy. "Missed you."

"Missed you too." Amy replied resuming to drive to their location.

"What took you so long to get here?" Lindsay interrogated her girlfriend.

Amy looked at her. "I had to take a shower and then I swung by my mom's house."

"Oh okay. Its just that you never mentioned it to me." She said a bit irritated.

"I'm sorry I've must of forgotten." Amy apologized. Mainly she did it because she didn't want to fight over this, but she really didn't seemed the need to tell Lindsay her every move.

In the theater Lindsay looked at her girlfriend who was in her own little world. She extended her hand and intertwined their hands together. Most of the time she was happy with her. The only thing that kept Amy from being completely happy was her own thoughts. Amy brought Lindsay closer she wrapped her arms around her. They spent most of the commercials kissing passionately as they tongues battled for control.

"Whoa." Lindsay said as she stopped to get air and looked at Amy's eyes.

Amy's eyes blurted wide open. Just one word could make her remember everything she still felt. Lindsay was let down when Amy didn't want to continue. Amy spent the entire movie just in a battle with her thoughts.

The movie ended and they walked out holding hands but honestly she just wanted to drop her and go home.

"Everything okay?" Lindsay asked Amy hadn't been the same after their make out gone wrong.

Amy nodded. "Had a long day today at work." Lucky for her, Lindsay didn't know her well enough to see she was lying.

Amy drove up to her girlfriend's driveway and put her SUV in park. "I'll call you tomorrow."

"I'll be waiting." Lindsay smiled as she gave her another quick peck on the lips.

The house seemed to be at the other side of the world. She got home as fast as she could. She took a long shower to process everything. Her whole world had been flipped today. No matter what she could say to anyone she was still not over Karma.
