Emma

James, Snow the kids and I go to Granny's for lunch. It's been a week since Nicky left. We haven't seen or heard from her since; James and snow are worried sick about her. "Mom are you ok?" I look over at Henry and realize I have been stirring my fry in the ketchup for five minutes now. "Yeah kid, I'll be fine." We all look up when the bell sounds and see Nicky and John walk in. Nicky glances around and her eyes land on us. She shoots me a week smile and I hear Snow gasp when she sees her. Nicky looks rough, she is wearing tight jeans tucked into knee length stiletto boots and a black leather jacket. Not Nicky's style at all, she likes her boot cut jeans with tee shirts and converse. She and john sit down at the counter. They order their food and Nicky orders a drink, which looks like alcohol. John takes the glass from her and hands it back to Red. Red brings her a glass of water and I can see Nicky's shoulders sag.

John hands me the water before whispering in my ear "we wouldn't want to mess up the kid we are trying to have." I nod weekly and he kisses my neck. I squirm a bit and he chuckles against my neck. I hear James growl from his seat. This causes John the chuckle again and he continues kissing me. Now I know he is just doing it to make James mad. He nips on my neck and then turns back to his food. After we finish I look over at James and snow that are staring at me intently. I lean closer to him and whisper in his ear "baby can I please go talk to them for a minute?" his jaw clinches tightly and I wince before kissing him on the jaw a couple of times till it loosens. "Please" I beg, he finally sighs deeply and looks at me "fine but you owe me at home." I nod vigorously and smile at him. "I'm going to the car, you have ten minutes." I smile brightly at him and kiss him. "Thank you so much." He shakes his head and throws down the money for lunch and walking out of the diner. I motion for Red and she walks over "Nicky what's going on?" I shake my head "I can't talk right now, just ask my parents. But I really need a drink, make it two." She smiles and pulls out two glasses and fills them to the top. I thank her and down one, I take the other one and walk over to the booth that my family is in. "hey nicky!" Riley exclaims and I smile at her. James and Snow scoot over and I slide in next to them. I sit the drink down on the table. Emma, James and Snows eyes scream with questions but the kids seem oblivious to everything. "How do you like your new house?" Henry asks innocently, I force a smile "its really big." I say not coming right out. "Henry why don't you take Riley and play with the video games in the back" Emma says handing them some quarters. Henry and Riley smile brightly and slide out of the booth. I kiss them on the head as the walk past. After the kids leave I'm left with the unanswered questions. I pick up my glass and take a long sip. "Nicky has he been hurting you?" James asks turning to me "no, he hasn't." I lie smoothly; if I took off the jacket they would know the truth. I finish off my drink and reach a crossed the table and take Emma's. "Nicky you are to young to drink." Snow says looking at me intently as I down the drink. "I really don't care. And you can't stop me!" Emma looks at me hard "but John took the drink from you earlier. Why?" I shake my head "Nicky are you…?" she leaves the question hanging. "No thank god!" James wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me into him. "Nicky we are working on a way to get you away from him." he says into my hair, I pull back and shake my head "no you cant try anything! Trust me, he's crazy! He would kill any of you in an instant!" James pulls back shocked at my outburst "so he does hurt you!" he growls, I ignore him and look over at Emma. "How is Caspian?" I ask quietly "Nicky. Does. He. Hurt. You?" James asks dangerously low. I look at Emma "how is he?" she sighs, "He misses you." I stare at her "he isn't planning anything is he?" she shakes her head and I sigh. "No I told him what you said." I nod and flip open my phone and see what time it is. "I have to go, I love you all." I slide out of the booth but James grabs my hand and I see he is still waiting on my answer. I pull my hand free "I'm fine James!" I hiss "bye Emma…mom" she slides out and holds me tightly. After a minute I pull away and walk out of the diner.
