"This is it" Emma said as she stood across the street from the intersection. You could still see where the car broke the tree in two. "They never took the tree down."

"They just left it broken?" Kris whispered. Emma nodded and pointed to the road leading to the west.

"We were coming from that direction" she said.

"I can't believe you didn't like the Indian food!" David laughed. Emma stuck her tongue out at him, which caused him to laugh harder.

"Not everyone is like you! But I put up with it just for you on your birthday so stop complaining Sir David" Emma said, laughing at their inside joke. David shook his head in disbelief as he stopped for the stoplight. "I never knew why there was a stoplight. I mean no one is ever on this road!"

"I don't know babe, but when I become President I'll take this stoplight down" David said seriously. Emma shook her head.

"President? I thought you wanted to be a lawyer?" David shrugged and rolled forward as the light turned green. He was about to explain when he heard someone laying on their horn. Both heads swiveled to see a Ford pickup truck swerving on the icy road. Emma braced herself for the impact while David tried to get the car out of the way, but they were trapped.

"I love you Emma" David yelled as the truck slammed into Emma's side of the car and pushed them into a tree on the side of the road. Before Emma passed out from the pain, she heard the crunching of metal and glass as well as the breaking of the tree.

Emma was shaking as she remembered the pain and the fear she felt. "It was only a few seconds, but it felt like forever" she whispered. Kris nodded and pulled her into his arms.

"I know babe, I know" he whispered reassuringly. Kris started to pull away and lead them back to their car, but Emma remained planted in his spot.

"I don't know how long I was out for, but when I woke up, I heard people calling my name."

"Emma! Emma Atwater can you hear me?" a firefighter yelled into the wreckage.

"Where's David and the other driver? Are they okay?" she asked concerned. The firefighter heard the true concern for the others in her voice and his eyes softened.

"The other driver is refusing to go to the hospital until we get you out of the car" he responded, refusing to tell the young woman about her boyfriend. Emma looked to her left and saw blood and pinkish-grey brain matter everywhere. She held in the urge to vomit, deciding she would do it when she had room to breathe and not vandalize her boyfriend's body. "Emma I'm going to get you out of there alright sweetie, but I need you to keep talking to me."

"How… how did he d…d…die?" she croaked out, feeling her eyes well with tears. She ignored the pain and blood she could feel all over her body.

"His neck was snapped" he replied gently. Emma nodded and looked at her boyfriend and saw that his neck was swollen and ugly looking.

"I don't understand, but… but I need to" she whispered looking at the firefighter again. His eyes searched hers for any signs of hesitance. Since he saw none, he went on to explain.

"His cervical vertebrae were snapped. Those are the parts of your spine that are directly connected to the skull. The swelling you see is from where the blood stopping moving to and from the brain" he said, prying open Emma's door. Emma nodded and looked into his eyes.

"What's your name?" she questioned. The firefighter stopped in surprise he locked eyes with her. All the years on the job only a handful of people had asked for their savior's name and that was mostly after they were out of their predicament.

"Jenson Lewis" he responded. Emma smiled in appreciation and nodded.

"Thank you Jenson" she whispered. Lewis smiled and started back on getting her out of the wrecked vehicle. She seemed to be taking her situation in strides and not having a panic attack, which the EMTs would be grateful for.

"Okay honey, I'm going to open the door. Can you undo your seatbelt?" he asked as he threw the crowbar towards the fire truck. Emma reached over and clicked the seatbelt latch open and nodded at Jenson. "Alright, but don't try to move honey, ok? I'm going to pick you up and take you to the ambulance."

"Jenson?" Emma asked timidly. He looked directly at her and watched as she let a few tears fall. "Will you ride with me to the hospital?" He smiled and nodded as he pulled the door open and took her small body into his arms.

"Sure sweetie" he whispered. Emma looked up at him like a daughter would. He smiled and kissed her forehead and took her to the awaiting ambulance.

"I loved him like my dad. I actually told him I was leaving and we've kept in touch. I don't know why, but I felt safer and more loved with him than I did with my real dad" Emma said from her place in Kris's arms. He kissed the top of her head and smiled.

"Maybe because he saved you and didn't treat you like a baby?" Kris guesses. Emma shrugged, but she knew he was dead on.

"He stayed with me even after my parents got there. My dad was more interested in yelling at the guy who 'wrecked my life' than me." Emma sighed and hugged Kris closer. "It's almost fate that my boyfriend's middle name was Jenson too." Kris nodded.

"I can see why you named our son that" he replied. Emma turned so she was facing him.

"You're not mad are you?" she whispered. Kris smiled and shook his head.

"Not at all babe, but I do have a question. Where did J's middle name come from?" Emma looked back at the fallen tree.

"That was the name of the other driver" she said. Kris nodded and pulled her closer to his body. "Let's head back now. I'm sure little J is up."

"Do I get to meet big J and Owen?" Kris joked, halfway serious. Emma nodded.

"Of course! I promised them I would come visit" she said as they walked back up the hill to their car, so Kris could drive them home to see their son.

"I'm so tired" Emma whined as she climbed into bed at ten o'clock LA time which was really twelve o'clock in the morning New York time. She, Kris, and her parents spent most of the evening catching up. "I hate time zones!" she complained miserably.

Kris smiled, "Well hopefully Jenson will sleep through the night and let us get s good sleep." Kris kissed her gently on the lips as he wrapped his arms around her.

"That's wishful thinking" Emma replied groaning as Jenson began to wake up and squirm around in the small crib placed by their bed. "You can't really be hungry," Emma told her son as she gently picked him up and held him tightly in her arms. "I fed you at six!"

"He's a growing boy sweetie," Kris smiled as he kissed his son's light hair. "Do you think his hair will get darker?" he asked.

Emma shook her head looked at her son who she was rocking gently back and forth in her arms and then to her husband. "No he looks a lot like you and nothing like me. I say the blonde hair and blue eyes stay."

Kris smiled as he watched Jenson's blue eyes slowly close. "I guess he wasn't hungry after all" he commented as Emma put him gently back in the crib.

"I guess not," she smiled as she climbed back into bed with Kris who immediately wrapped her up in his arms. "Mom said that my brothers and sister will be by tomorrow."

"Good" Kris said as she let out a huge yawn. "Go to sleep baby. We've have a big day and tomorrow will be just as big." Emma nodded before falling into a restless sleep. Kris silently got up and checked on Jenson to be sure he wouldn't be awake while he was gone and headed out to the backyard. He sat in the swing and watched the night sky, thinking.

"Emma might freak if she wakes up and you're not there" Melody chided gently as she took a seat next to Kris. He turned and gave her a soft smile before turning back.

"She's pretty good about not freaking out when that happens now." Melody nodded shakily.

"She's a different person Kris. She's not the same Emma" she said. Kris turned to her with a confused look on his face. Melody went on to explain. "After the accident she was only around for a few more days after David's funeral, which she couldn't even go to. She told me she was leaving but promised me not to tell Jeff. I later found out that she had told the firefighter…"

"Jenson" Kris quickly corrected. Melody smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Jenson. Anyway, she told him she was leaving, but that was it. No one else knew what had happened to her. Jenson and I didn't even know where she was! She had just disappeared. Four years later, I get a call saying that she was coming and bringing her husband and newborn baby with her. Four years ago she didn't even want to get married or have children." Kris nodded. He had had the same thoughts until Emma walked into his life. "What I'm trying to say is you're doing wonders for her Kris. Both you and little Jenson are helping her so much." Kris smiled, but when he heard someone moving around, his head spun around.

"I didn't know where you had gone to" Emma whispered shakily. Her eyes were red from crying, so Kris knew she had had a nightmare. Kris stood and pulled her into his arms.

"It's ok babe, I was just talking with your mom" he said as he kissed the top of her head. Emma nodded and pulled away. "Why don't you head back to bed? I'll be in shortly."

"Ok babe. Have fun" she whispered, walking back inside. Kris's head hung once she was out of sight and he let out a long breath. He moved back to his seat next to Melody.

"You've changed her for the better" Melody whispered grabbing his hand. Kris nodded.

"When are you going to tell her that Jenson is her real father and that Jeff doesn't live with you?" Kris said looking into Melody's eyes.
