Amelia sat in catering later that day. She'd talked to Stephanie who told her she'd find her a new Superstar and if she needed anything to come to her. She'd thanked Stephanie and headed out. She sat there eating her lunch. In a matter of hours she'd become a single, divorced mother and homeless. She looked up when she felt someone sit across from her and smiled sadly at Ted.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"How are you feeling?"
"Like someone took a wrecking ball to my life." She said. "And speak of the devil..." she said as she gestured toward the door with her head. Ted looked over his shoulder and saw his brother walk in with Bridget. Ted turned back to look at her.
"She's a cow." Amelia smiled. "So where are you going to stay?"
"I'll find a place. Shouldn't be too hard. But I know I don't want it to be too far from you guys."
"I'll help you start looking soon. He's an asshole. Please don't keep Jase away from us. Mom, Dad and I would really hate that. You're still family to us and you always will be." Amelia smiled.
"Thanks Teddy."
Lauren watched from the hallway as Randy played with Sophie and Emma. It was the sweetest thing. He was playing tea party with them. She was glad that she had convinced Missy to head home for a few hours. She could tell she and John needed it. Janessa and Cody had taken Nola, Claudia and Lily home as the girls were tired. Randy had told Lauren everything that happened with Brett and Amelia. She still couldn't believe that that loser had cheated on her while she was carrying his baby.
"How's Emma?" Chris said walked up.
"She's fine. They are going to do the transplant in a few days." Lauren replied. "Why are you here?"
"I came to check on Emma. Why do I have to have an ulterior motive to do something nice?"
"In my experience, yes."
"I understand why you would think that. But I swear to you that I truly care about that little girl. And I want to rip Brett's head off for what he did to Amelia."
"I think all of us do. You really do love her don't you?"
"Yeah I do."
"So tell her."
"I don't want to come on too strong like I did before. If it happens, it will happen on its on time."
"Yeah I guess." She said just as John and Missy walked up.
"How's my baby?" Missy asked.
"She was an angel. I think Randy had the most fun with her and Sophie." Lauren laughed.
"That's great. Because after the transplant, she will be in isolation for a few days." John replied.
"Well, I'm going in." Missy smiled as she walked into the room.
John turned to Lauren. "Thank you for convincing her to leave. It was just what we needed."
"No problem." Lauren smiled.
John then turned to Chris. "Amelia said you helped with the testing?"
"I did."
"Thank you. Because of it, we found that match. I just wish I knew who it was. I would love to thank them in person."
"I wish I knew." Chris laughed a little. "Well, I should leave. I will see you guys around."
John nodded and headed in just as Randy and Sophie came out. He looked over at Chris.
"Hi Sophie." Chris said. Sophie hid her face in Randy's chest. He smiled. "She's getting so big."
"Thanks. Yes, she is." Randy replied. "Well, Lauren, we better go. Little Miss here needs a nap."
"Yeah. Nice to see you Chris." Lauren said as they walked away.
Chris nodded and looked through the window at John, Missy and Emma. He had to smile. She was going to be okay and that was something to be grateful for. He thought about the donor. Maybe he could find out who it was for John and Missy.
Janessa walked into the workshop and saw Adam hard at work painting the beautiful wooden castle he'd built for the girls. She smiled a little to herself. He'd been a little angry about the retirement at first but he'd taken that energy and turned it into something amazing.
"Looks good." She said causing him to turn and look at her. He smiled.
"Thanks. I hope to have them done for the girls by the time Emma comes home." He replied.
"They are going to love them." She leaned in and kissed him.
"Thanks. Have you heard anything from Amelia?"
"No but I talked to Kara. Amelia is going to need a place to stay."
"She can always stay here. I'm sure Nola and Claudia would love that."
"Teddy and Kara extended an invitation to her too. As did Cody and Ricardo, Lauren and Randy and I'm sure Missy and John will too. Hell rumor has it Jay and even Chris said she could stay with them."
"I still can't believe he cheated on her."
"I know it's crazy. But on a good note, Emma has a donor so she will be okay. Which is the best news. I can't even imagine what it would be like to lose a child or even think you might lose your child."
"I know." He got up and hugged her. "I can't imagine it either."
John and Missy sat with Emma while the doctors were doing the chemo. Once they got rid of all the bad marrow, they would do the transplant and give her the new marrow. John desperately wished he knew who the donor was but the doctor said since they wanted to remain anonymous. They couldn't give the name.
"I'm so glad we found a donor." Missy said to John.
"I know. So, how is Noah?"
"He's good. Kicking up a storm. He is so ready to come out."
"I think you're ready for him to come out." John laughed.
"Yeah I am." She laughed. "I'm going to call Amelia and see how she is."
John nodded as she walked outside. She dialed the number and waited for Amelia to answer.
"Hey. How is my little Emma doing?"
"She's going to be fine thanks to you and strangely enough Chris." Missy laughed a little. "I can't thank you enough."
"Don't mention it I'm her god mother. I love her like she's my own."
"How are you?"
"Well, I contacted an attorney. Should be pretty cut and dry. I don't want any alimony and I get full custody. I just have to find a place and a new superstar to work for." Amelia said as she felt a pain in her stomach. "Whoa, calm down Jaseā¦.Mommy's on the phone with Aunt Missy." Missy laughed.
"I think he's getting like Noah. He's ready to be here."
"I'm ready for him to be here too."
"You know you can stay with us if you want."
"Thanks but I think I need my own space. I can do this Miss. I can raise him on my own."
"That's just the thing, you will never be on your own. You will always have those of us that love you and care about you to be there with you. Always."
"Thanks."
"I'm going to get back to Emma. But call me if you need anything okay?"
"Alright. Love you Missy."
"Love you too." Missy hung up and looked at her husband and daughter. She was thankful she had John. She hated what Brett was putting Amelia through. She also felt a little guilt. She had convinced Amelia to give Brett another chance and she hated that she had now.
