"What are you so pissy about?" Spinner asked.

Jay, after having flung his wrench across the garage, shot Spinner a dirty look. Having lost Sean, Spinner was a good step-in best friend, but he still managed to annoy Jay, just like back in high school. To make matters worse, Spinner now worked with Jay, the two often spending many hours under the same car together. But Jay had to admit that his recent tantrum had nothing at all to do with Spinner.

"I thought things were going pretty well for you, Hogart," Spinner pointed out.

"Yeah, it's just a party over here," Jay replied sarcastically, wiping his hands on a rag.

Spinner watched Jay walk away from the car he was working on, frustration written all over his face. "What's the issue, dude? Something with Emma?"

Jay had failed to mention his 'plans' concerning Emma with anyone, except Spinner. He felt like he could confide in Spinner and not have it come back to bite him on the ass. But Spinner also knew that things had changed dramatically for Emma and Jay since starting all of this. Sure, it had started out as Jay doing Emma the hugest favour, but Jay found that it was really Emma who was doing him the favour. But Jay, being Jay, let his fear and his ego get in the way of all things good in his life.

"Are things okay between you and Emma?" Spinner asked. His face suddenly broke into a smile, "Dude! Is she knocked up?"

"No! Thank God!" Jay muttered. When Spinner shot him a weird look, Jay explained. "This whole thing started out as something that required very little from me. When did it all change?"

Spinner shrugged. "Probably around the time when you fell in love with her."

"I don't love her!"

"Sure you don't," Spinner laughed. "You spend every single minute with her. When you're not with her, you're talking about her. And when you're not talking about, you're probably..."

"Enough!" Jay yelled, interrupting Spinner's tirade. "I don't love Emma. I agreed to be a donor, to get her pregnant. That's all! I guess I still feel like she's my responsibility now that Sean's gone. But I am not her boyfriend."

"And the baby?"

"Well thank God there is no baby! And if and when there is one, then it's goodbye Emma. My part of the contract will be fulfilled and I can finally move on. It's not like..."

Spinner's face contorted and he was shaking his head roughly. "Emma!" he greeted, shooting Jay a look, as he walked over to briefly hug Emma.

Jay cursed under his breath, slowly turning and offering a smile to Emma. She was dressed in her work clothes, a classy power suit, the skirt short enough to show off her amazing legs. Her face gave nothing away, but Jay had the feeling that she had heard everything he was rambling on about. He suddenly felt sorry that he had even opened his mouth in the first place.

"What's up?" Jay asked, trying to make his voice casual.

Emma swallowed and sniffed. "Um, I heard what you said."

Jay's face fell. He should have known that she'd call him on it. "Sorry?"

"You don't have to be. In fact, this works out for the best. I was coming here to tell you that I'm moving to Montreal. I got the contract and, um, I've decided to go myself instead of letting someone else handle my idea. So, um, you not wanting a...relationship or whatever...well that just makes this a whole lot easier."

Jay wasn't buying it. Emma looked like she was on the verge of tears. He stepped forward, but she retreated.

"And you're right about the baby thing. I mean, what was I thinking? Having a baby by myself? So not the best idea. So, um, I just wanted to come by and say...well...bye," she stammered.

Jay eyed her. "So that's it?" She shrugged and Jay wasn't sure why, but he found the action hurtful. "You're just moving away and that's that?"

She tried to smile, but failed miserably. "That's that. So I just wanted to say, um, thank you. It was really...selfless...of you." Jay stepped forward once again, but Emma continued to retreat. "I...um...I gotta go."

Jay wanted to say something, but found he was unable to speak. He stood, dumbfounded, and watched Emma walk out of the garage and out of his life...
