Chapter 28

Sean realized they were back at the Simpson/Nelson residence when the car came to a complete stop and he heard the engine shut of. 'Sounds like it needs some work.' he thought in the back of his mind.

He opened the door of the car and got out. He yawned before reaching back in and pulling a sleeping Emma into his arms to carry her into the house.

"You got her, Sean?" Snake asked him as he unlocked the door.

"Yea." he said yawning once again and carried her down to her room in the basement. He laid her down on her bed and covered her up with a spare blanket that was on the bed.

She stirred when he laid her down. "Sean?"

He shushed her as he ran a hand through her hair. "Go back to sleep, Em." She nodded slightly and pulled the blanket up around her tighter. He smiled slightly before going back upstairs.

He was getting ready to leave when Spike stopped him. "It's late, Sean. Why don't you stay here for the night?" she asked. He was about to protest but yawned instead. "I'll go get you a pillow and blanket. You can take the couch for the night."

Sean nodded before going into their living room and sitting down on what would be his bed for the night. Spike came back to find him sound asleep. She smiled and covered him up with the blanket she had brought downstairs. She turned off the light before going back upstairs.

Emma woke up in her own bed. She closed her eyes trying to enjoy the feeling of being in her own bed again. She laid there for a couple moments before finally getting out of bed.

She grabbed her robe and tied it around her expanding waist. As her hand brushed her stomach she felt one of the babies move. She froze there for a moment.

Hopefully she had the strength to do what she had thought about at the hospital the night before. Hopefully Sean would agree to it, she wouldn't be able to do it without him.

She shook those thoughts from her head and walked upstairs. When she opened the door she had to do a quick double take.

There sitting at the table eating breakfast with her step-dad and baby brother was Sean. It had been awhile since he had been over for breakfast. The last time he had been over this early was during the summer when he was working on Snake's car.

"What are you doing here?" She asked him sitting down at the table.

"It was late when we got back here. Your mom wouldn't let me go home." he said as he took a bite of his breakfast.

"He's going to have to get used to it soon." Snake said grabbing another pancake. "He's going to be spending a lot of time here eventually."

Emma crossed her arms over her chest. When she did Sean 's eyes traveled downward and he almost choked on his orange juice. "What's that supposed to mean?" she asked sternly.

Snake looked over at her. "Well you're gonna want the babies' father over here to help you right? You're not going to be taking care of them all by yourself."

Sean coughed before speaking up. "After they're born her and the babies could move into my apartment. There's an extra room, I moved all of my exercise equipment into it after Ellie moved in but I could make room."

"Can we save making these decisions until they are actually here? We don't need to worry about it right now. Besides who said I wanted Sean's help?" Emma asked the two men before storming back downstairs.

Snake turned back to Sean and saw the look on his face. "I'm sure she didn't mean it."

Sean wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up. "Yea she did. I'm going to take off. I have to go back to work today." he said and walked out of the front door.

Emma went back into her room and laid back on her bed. Why couldn't they see that they couldn't handle this? That she couldn't handle this?

She had just recently turned sixteen and had finals coming up. She was going to be a junior next year. She wasn't ready to be a mother of twins.

She picked up the pamphlet the nurse had given her sometime during the night. She read through it and picked up her cell phone.

"Hello I am wanting to schedule an appointment."
