Okay! All you Zikki lovers don't worry! There will be no romantic Clane in this story! Maybe some friendship Clane but that's it! In this chapter who learn a little bit more about Matthew and who he is, but first I just have to say one thing: Zane has been in no other romantic relationship since Rikki left therefore the baby can not be his. If you like Emmash then this chapter is for you! ;D Hope that you enjoy! I'm writing this at like nearly midnight my time and I just finished my homework so I hope that you enjoy it!

Emma's point of view

I woke up to the sound of Ash's breathing: in and out. Leveled and normal. Okay I can get up and not worry about him I guess. I got out of bed and walked over to the kitchen that was directly inline with the master bedroom, aka Ash and my bedroom. Ever since Matthew was born when we got back here from Paris I've felt like we have no time together anymore. One of us is always with the baby or at work. So whenever Cleo or Zane offers to take him off our hands we're always just so happy. Zane's surprisingly well with kids. At first I was worried about him messing up Matthew like his dad messed him up, but he's so great with little Matt, unlike Ryan. He just didn't like Matt. Claimed that he was going to ruin their wedding. Yeah right. Matt was nothing but a well-behaved young boy who cares about everyone. Except for Ryan.

He'll be two years old in just a few days. God, I wish that either (or both) Lewis and Rikki were here. They would really help complete everything. But of course I would never mention it around Cleo or Zane. It'd hurt them too much.

I quickly made breakfast and checked my phone. Crap I got a text from Cleo half and hour ago.

Hey, Em. Can't get ahold of u at home. I'm gonna ask Zane if he can take Matt later. If you get this then I'm at work and Zane has Matt. Just swing by his place. Love ya.

God, no. I had slept in too late. I was late for work and I still had to swing by Zane's. This is so not good for my record.

I grabbed my phone and wrote Ash a quick note and left it next to the plate of food:

Gotta go, hon. Love you, food's on the plate go ahead and eat. Got to pick up Matt from Zane's and head to work. Bye.

I then grabbed my phone as I left the house, quickly sending Zane a text.

Hey, Zane. On my way, Cleo says that u have Matt? I'll swing by in a few. Thx for taking him for me.

I then got into the car and drove the five-minutes to Zane's house. When I opened the unlocked door (which wasn't really unusual for Zane) I froze. I heard a familiar female voice floating into the long hallway that led to the kitchen. It was coming from the living room.

"He's so cute, Zane. God, now I know what I missed while I was gone in America." America? No, it couldn't be Lewis it was a girl. God, a girl . . . in Zane's flat . . . at this time in the morning. But she sounded so familiar, not a Cleo familiar. But like I know the voice, it just sounds older and more mature. As I slowly turn around the corner . . .

I froze at the sight of my long lost best friend; Rikki Chadwick.

Good? Bad? I'm hating myself right now for not updating like I always promised myself that I would, but I might not update this weekend . . . like at all. As a birthday present for my cousin, aunt, and I I'm going to a P!Nk concert in San Jose on Monday and I have them and some friends coming down over the weekend. Including some more projects to do and I have a ton of tests that I have to study for (I have a flipping test tomorrow on Valentine's Day!) God, I hate my math teacher! Anyway! I'll update as much as I can!

Thx for reading! :)
