Chapter 6
"El!" Sean said happily as he wrapped his arms around her when she came out of the kitchen with Alyssa on her hip unaware of the person sitting on the steps. "When did you get here?"
"Not too long after you and Mike left. How's he doing anyway?" She asked him.
Sean sighed. "He's doing somewhat alright today. I had to take him to the hospital yesterday. It's not looking good Ellie."
Ellie kissed him on the cheek and ran a hand over his shaved head. "We're going to find donor, Sean. I promise he'll be fine."
He laid his forehead against hers and closed his eyes. "I hope so." he said quietly before the three of them went into the kitchen.
No. No. No. It wasn't possible. Sean had broken up with her three years ago. After what she did there was no way he ever would have gotten back with her.
Then why was she showing up and why was Alyssa so comfortable being in her arms? And why was she kissing Sean on the cheek and wait what was that? No. No. NO! Sean still loved her. There was no way Sean would have done that with her.
Emma was brought out of her thoughts by the ringing of her cell phone. "Hello?"
"Emma what's going on?" she heard her mother, Spike ask. "Peter called and asked if everything was ok. He said that you had a family emergency in Wasaga."
"Michael called me last night. He has cancer Mom." Emma told her.
Spike gasped. "Is he okay?" she asked worried about her grandson and wondering why Sean never told her. Even though Emma had abandoned them she hadn't.
"I don't know. Jay said he needs a bone marrow transplant." she said hoping to get off the phone soon so she could go downstairs. She did not like leaving her daughter alone with her.
"Should I come up there?" her mom asked.
Emma shook her head even though Spike couldn't see it through the phone. "No but I'm going to be up here a while. I got to go check on him. I'll call you later." Both of them said their goodbyes and hung up.
Emma put her phone back in her pocket and finished walking down the stairs.
"So Red ready to be a mom to our third future mechanic?" Jay asked her taking a beer out of the refrigerator before going to sit by his fiancé who was trying to feed their son.
Ellie raised an eyebrow at him as Alyssa sat in her lap. "How do you know it's not a girl?"
Sean smirked. "Because every baby born into this family has been male."
Alyssa glared at him. "Daddy!" she scolded.
"Almost every baby." he corrected smiling at his daughter as she nodded happily.
"That's because they weren't able to overcome all the testosterone from you boys." Ellie said putting a hand on her slightly rounded stomach. "This one's gonna be a daddy's girl like Lyssa." she said hugging the little girl as she giggled.
"Daddy can Ellie stay with us?" Alyssa looked up and asked him. Jay smirked at his best friend before kissing Manny and taking Danny to his room to put him down for a nap.
"I don't know. You're going to have to ask her baby." he told her leaning against the sink.
"Ellie can you stay here with me and Mikey and Daddy tonight?" she pouted looking up at her.
"Of course do you want Jesse to come over too?" Ellie asked her. "You haven't seen him since the wedding."
"Yea!" she said happily. "We can have a slumber party right Daddy? Auntie Manny can let us play with her make up."
Manny was about to agree until she saw the look on Sean's face as he got a glass of water. "I don't think Daddy would like that sweetheart."
"Do you think Mommy has some with her?" Alyssa asked Sean and he choked on the sip of water he had taken.
Ellie looked over at Sean surprised. "What is she talking about? Did she actually..." Ellie asked Manny and Sean as they traded looks. They were saved from answering her question by someone else coming into the kitchen.
"Hey guys."
