Emma went home to shower, get changed, and look at some work emails. Spending most of her time at the hospital exhausted her, and she wished she could take a nap, but she also didn't want to be away from Sean for too long.

As she was looking through her inbox, Emma noticed an email from a seller and gasped. They accepted the buyer's offer on the Indian Road home, which meant a considerable commission would come her way. "Oh, my God." She was ecstatic. This house was her white whale, and she didn't think it would ever happen. The owners were stubborn and didn't like to budge when offers came in. She dialed her boss's number and waited for him to answer.

"Emma? Is that you?"

"Yes, hi." She took a deep breath and said, "I've got great news."

"Oh?"

"The seller finally accepted the buyer's offer on the house on Indian Road."

"Emma, that's fantastic! Congratulations!"

"Thank you."

"I know how long you've worked on that house, and I know how hard it was to get the sellers to budge."

"I really can't believe it. I didn't think it would ever happen."

"Will you be stopping by the office at all?"

She grabbed her work bag and said, "I have to go back to the hospital but I can come by later this afternoon if you need me to."

"I meant to ask you, how is Sean doing?"

"Well, the doctor seems to think he's healing well, so hopefully that's the case, and he'll get to come home soon."

"Good to hear. And congratulations again."

"Thanks again. I still can't believe we finally got them to accept an offer."

"You are my best agent, so I'm not surprised."

Emma smiled and said, "Okay, I gotta run, so I'll see you later?"

"Sounds good."

Emma ended the call and took a deep breath. The commission from the house on Indian Road was huge, and she was already thinking of ways to spend it.

Meanwhile, back in Sean's hospital room, Drew sat in the chair next to his dad while Manny was outside in the hall, making a phone call.

Sean opened his eyes and smiled at Drew, "Hey, buddy."

Drew stood up and asked, "Hi, dad. How are you feeling?"

"Better. I'm glad you're here." Drew smiled, and Sean said, "When I get out of here, we'll throw you a big bash for your birthday, okay?"

Drew shook his head and said, "It doesn't have to be a big bash, dad. I'm only turning 14."

"But it's the first birthday I'm getting to spend with you, and I feel bad that you're here when you should be at school getting embarrassed by your friends."

"The only one who would embarrass me is Oliver." Drew asked, "What did kids do when you were in school?"

"Usually, they decorated our lockers, sprayed us with silly string, stuff like that."

Drew nodded, "Yeah, it's usually the girls who decorate each other's lockers. Knowing Oliver, he'd just try to spank me all day."

Sean laughed, and Manny came back into the room, "Hey Santos, everything okay?"

"Yes. How are you feeling?"

"Better. Still a bit tired but the pain is nearly all gone."

Manny nodded, "You look a lot better. Your eyes are focusing more."

"Good because I want to get out of here as soon as possible so we can celebrate this one's birthday." He motioned toward Drew and smiled.

Manny nodded and smiled, "You will."

Sean looked around and asked, "Emma's still not back?"

Manny said, "She's on her way."

"Oh, good." He sat up and stretched, "I'm so stiff."

"Well, you've been in bed for a couple of days."

Sean sat back and said, "I should probably call the guys and see how things are going."

Manny shook her head, "Don't worry about it. They have everything under control. They just want you to feel better, okay?"

Sean nodded. Drew looked toward the door and smiled, "Hey, mom."

"Hey!" She looked at Sean and smiled, "Wow, you look alert right now."

"I feel a lot better."

"Good!" She walked over and kissed him. "I have some good news."

"Oh yeah?"

"The house on Indian Road sold."

Sean asked, "Was that the one you showed me? Oh no, that was Lytton Boulevard. Right?"

Emma nodded, "Right. This is the other big one that's been on the market a while, and I didn't think the owners would ever accept the buyer's offer."

"That's great, babe!"

Drew asked, "What's so special about this house?"

Emma looked at him and said, "Well, I will be getting a lot of money because I sold it."

"How much is a lot of money?"

Emma smiled and said, "I could buy you an Aston Martin for your 16th birthday."

Drew looked puzzled, "Is that a nice car?"

Sean said, "It costs over $200 thousand, kiddo."

Drew asked, "Would you do that?"

Emma laughed and said, "Of course not!" Manny and Sean also laughed and Emma said, "But I could if I wanted to."

Drew shook his head, "That's a lot of money, mom. What are you going to do with it?"

Emma shrugged, "I don't know yet, but I was thinking of helping out grandma."

Sean looked at Emma and said, "You could renovate the salon with that kind of money."

Emma nodded, "That's what I was thinking. The tough part will be convincing my mom to take the money."

Just then, the doctor walked in, "Well, look who's up."

Sean smiled, "Hey, doc. Can I go home yet?"

"Not quite, but it looks like it's going to be sooner rather than later."

Manny looked at Drew and said, "Hey, kiddo, let's get something to eat."

Drew nodded and walked out of the room with Manny.

Emma looked at the doctor and said, "I can stay in here, right?"

"Yep."

Emma leaned up against the windowsill and watched as the doctor examined Sean. He checked the wound, checked Sean's eyes, and his reflexes.

"Things are looking good." He asked, "How's the pain?"

"I don't feel anything, but that's the meds, right?"

"Well, we lessened the pain med over the past 6 hours to see how you'd respond, and you seem to be doing well."

Sean nodded, "My head doesn't hurt other than being a little sore near the wound. I don't have a pounding headache anymore. Thank God."

"Good. We're going to lessen the sedative as well, so you're not so sleepy."

"Okay."

Emma walked over to Sean's bed and held his hand, "How soon do you think it will be before he can leave?"

"Right now, we'll aim for Sunday just to be safe." Emma nodded, and the doctor looked at Sean, "As I've said a few times, you can never be too careful with a head wound." He wrote something down then said, "Okay, I'm going to have them bring you some lunch."

"Thanks, doc."

"You're welcome. I'll be back before my shift is over to check you out again, but, so far, so good."

Sean smiled, and Emma said, "Thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome." The doctor walked out, and Emma smiled at Sean.

Sean smiled back and said, "Thank you for staying here with me."

"You're welcome. I'm just so glad you're doing better."

"So am I. The sooner I get out of here, the sooner we can celebrate Drew's birthday for real."

A little later, as Sean was eating his lunch, Detectives Arbour and Smyth stopped by. After they greeted Sean and Emma, Detective Arbour said, "Mr. Cameron, we have some good news."

"Oh?"

Emma grabbed Sean's hand, bracing for the news.

Detective Smyth said, "Yep. We got the guy who did this to you."

Sean asked, "Are you sure?"

Detective Arbour nodded, "We are very sure. Your description of his eyes helped, and well, he tried to rob another place not too far from yours and we nailed."

"I hope he didn't hurt anyone else."

Detective Smyth said, "He didn't. Just tied them up and threatened them but no physical violence this time."

Sean shook his head and said, "I guess I was the lucky one."

Detective Arbour said, "He owed money to a big drug dealer, apparently and was so desperate for it, he started robbing places on your block."

"Wow." Sean looked at them and said, "Well, I'm glad they caught him. Now let's hope he'll get locked up for a while."

Detective Smyth said, "Oh, he will be. Don't you worry. We also busted the dealer for good measure."

Sean nodded then asked, "Do you need me to pick him out of a lineup or anything?"

Detective Arbour shook his head and said, "Nope, we got someone else to do that."

"Oh, good." Sean looked at Emma and said, "I didn't want to do that anyway."

Emma caressed his face.

Detective Smyth said, "Well, we just wanted you to know that he's in jail and that you won't have to worry about him anymore."

"Thank you. I appreciate that."

Detective Arbour asked, "When are you getting out of here?"

Sean said, "Hopefully, by Sunday."

"That's good." He turned to Sean and Emma and said, "Well, good luck with everything, and I'm glad you're feeling better."

"Thanks."

When the detectives walked out, Sean exhaled and said, "That makes me feel a lot better."

Emma leaned over and kissed him, "Me too."

"I really can't wait to get out of here. I want everything to be normal again."

Emma smiled, "Well, Sunday is only two days away."

"I just hope that the nightmares don't come back." Emma nodded and held his hand. "I want to be able to sleep with you in my arms and not have to worry about accidentally hurting you."

"If they do, you can ask Dr. Goldberg to help you out, right?"

Sean nodded.

Drew and Manny walked back into the room after they ate lunch in the cafeteria, and Drew walked over to his parents. "Is everything okay?"

Sean nodded, "Yep, the cops came by and told me caught the guy who robbed me, and he's in jail."

"They did?"

Emma nodded and smiled, "Yep. And the doctor is hoping that your dad will be home by Sunday."

Drew smiled, "That's great!" He looked at his dad and said, "This is a good birthday." Sean's eyes teared up, and he nodded at Drew. "Dad, please don't be upset."

Sean wiped his face and said, "Sorry, I can't help it."

"We're here together, you're getting better, and that's all that matters."

Sean nodded and smiled, "Okay, but we are getting you a cake this weekend."

Drew smiled and said, "I'd never refuse a cake."

Emma laughed and said, "He's not kidding."

Sean smiled and asked, "Oh yeah? What is your favorite cake?"

"Funfetti."

Sean said, "I'm not sure I've ever had funfetti cake. I was also all about chocolate cake when I was younger."

Emma laughed and said, "He would eat it for breakfast."

Drew looked at his dad incredulously and asked, "Did you, really?"

Sean nodded, "Yeah, with chocolate milk. I was a little chubby that year."

Both Manny and Emma giggled.

Emma said to Drew, "Your dad also went through an Eminem phase."

Sean shook his head, "Must you bring that up?"

Drew laughed, "An Eminem phase?"

Manny took out her phone and found a picture of Eminem from 8 Mile and showed it to Drew. "Your dad dressed like that every day. A hoodie, a bandana, a tuke, and big baggy jeans."

Emma chimed in and said, "Don't forget the chain attached to his wallet."

"You two are enjoying this, aren't you." Emma and Manny nodded then Sean said, "Your aunt Manny had a thong phase, and we've already discussed your mom's weird hair."

Emma looked at Sean and said, "But you still liked me anyway, even with my weird hair."

Sean smiled and said, "I did."

Drew looked at Manny and asked, "You wore a thong to school?"

"Underneath my jeans!"

Emma said, "It wasn't really underneath them. It was sticking out."

"Fine, it was sticking out."

Drew laughed, "You're all weird."

Sean stayed awake for close to three hours, and Emma and Manny joined him in telling Drew funny stories from junior high and high school.

"A bird pooped on you before the date even started?"

Sean nodded and looked at Emma, "That should have been our clue that the rest of the date would be a disaster."

Emma laughed, "I know." She looked at Drew and said, "I thought he hated me."

"Meanwhile, I liked her even more after that date."

Emma shook her head, "I was just glad you overlooked the bad hair."

"You could have been bald, and I still would have liked you."

Emma held up her hands and said, "Okay, let's not go overboard."

Drew smiled at his parents. "I still can't believe you met at Degrassi."

Manny asked, "Have you met anyone yet?"

Drew shrugged, "Not really."

Emma looked at him and said, "I'm surprised no girls are crushing on you. You are pretty adorable."

Drew blushed and said, "Mom…"

"You look just like your dad did at your age, and I crushed on him. I'm sure I'm not the only girl who thought he was cute."

Manny said, "I always thought your dad was cute."

Sean laughed and shook his head, "Okay, now I'm embarrassed."

"Even guys crushed on your dad."

Drew asked, "Really? And that didn't bother you?"

Sean shook his head, "Not at all. I've always known I was straight, and it's not like anyone could have or would have even tried to convert me." He looked at Drew, "Why? Do you think a guy has a crush on you?"

"No. At least, I don't think so."

Emma asked Drew, "What would you think if a guy showed an interest in you?"

Drew shrugged and said, "I don't know. I hadn't thought about it."

Sean said, "Well, I'm glad you aren't horrified by the thought of it because I would have had to set you straight. No pun intended."

Drew shook his head, "A friend of mine has gay parents."

Sean asked, "Oh yeah?"

Drew nodded and said, "Yep, he has two dads, and they're pretty cool."

Emma asked, "How is Braden? Have you talked to him lately?"

"We play Call of Duty every once in a while."

Sean asked, "Where is he?"

"He moved away last year."

Emma said, "John and Thomas, his dads, are great guys. Thomas got a new position in his company, and they moved to Montreal before the spring term of last year."

Sean nodded. "I can't believe I've been awake this long."

Emma asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yes! I'm glad you're all here."

Drew smiled.

Emma walked over to her work bag and grabbed a phone, "By the way, I know I was supposed to take this away from you for three months, but you can have it back."

Drew's eyes lit up, "Thanks, mom!"

"You're welcome. You've earned it."

Sean looked at Drew and asked, "What did you do to get it taken away?"

Emma said, "He just kept getting detention after detention, and I threatened to take it away if he got one more. Then he did."

"I was a jerk." He looked at his mom and said, "I won't be like that again, I promise."

Emma smiled and said, "Good."

Drew looked at his phone and said, "It's been so long since I've used it. I've forgotten what to do."

Emma laughed, "Very funny."

Drew texted Oliver right away, "I got my phone back."

Sean said, "This is a big month for you, kiddo. You got your phone back, and you're going to be moving into the basement."

"And you're going to live with us."

Sean smiled. "Yep."

"That's the best birthday present."

Emma smiled at Sean, who smiled at his son.

When Emma went to the office, Drew and Manny hung out with Sean.

"You guys, I feel bad that you have to hang out here with me when you could be doing something fun."

Drew scoffed, "Like what? School isn't fun."

Sean laughed, "True. But I feel bad for your Aunt Manny."

Manny smiled, "This is fine, Sean. I'm glad I can relax because I won't be relaxing next week."

"When are you flying back to L.A.?"

"Monday. We start shooting on Wednesday."

Sean nodded, "Well, I hope they pick it up."

Manny laughed, "Me too. I'm getting a reputation of only being in failed pilots."

Drew was texting Oliver.

Sean joked, "You haven't been able to tear yourself away from that phone since your mom gave it back to you."

Drew said, "Sorry," then put his phone in his pocket.

"Kiddo, I was just joking around."

"I'm just texting Oliver. He was asking about you."

Sean smiled, "Oh yeah? It's nice that he's concerned."

"Maybe he'll finally get to meet you."

Sean nodded, "That would be nice. I'd like to meet your best friend."

Drew smiled.

When Emma got back to the hospital, Jay was there with Sean, Manny, and Drew.

"Man, I'm so glad to see you alert and talking."

Sean smiled, "I'm glad I'm alert and talking." He looked beyond Jay and said, "Hey babe."

"Hi. It's a party in here, huh?"

"I was just filling in Sean on what's been happening at the shop." Jay looked at Emma and said, "We can get out of here and leave the family alone if you want."

Emma shook her head, "Don't be silly. Stay."

Manny asked, "Did you do everything you needed to do at work?"

"Yep. Everything's done for the week and I don't have to worry about anything until Monday."

"That's good."

Emma walked over to Sean and grabbed his hand, "How are you?"

"I'm great. Really."

"Okay."

"I'm actually hungry again."

Emma looked at her phone, "Well, they will probably be bringing you something to eat soon." She looked at Drew, "Are you hungry?"

He nodded.

Manny looked at Jay and Jay said, "Hey kiddo, come with us. We can go to the cafeteria."

Drew looked at his parents, "Can I?"

Emma scoffed, "Of course!"

"Okay."

Manny looked at Emma and Sean, "We'll be back in a little while."

They walked out of the room and Emma cuddled next to Sean on the bed.

Sean smiled and said, "This was a good day." Emma nodded. "I just wish I didn't have to be in here for his birthday."

"I know. You'll be home soon and we'll celebrate."

Sean kissed her hair. "I didn't know I could feel the kind of love I feel for our son, Em."

Emma's eyes teared up and she kissed his cheek.

"It was almost immediate. I wanted to protect him and you."

She smiled, "That's because you're a good man, Sean Cameron."

"I guess."

Emma looked at him, "You are."

"Thank you."

Sean was eating his dinner when Manny, Jay, and Drew came back.

Manny asked, "Em, are you staying here tonight?"

Sean answered for her, "No, she's going home and getting some sleep."

"I am?"

Sean nodded, "I insist."

Emma shook her head, "But I don't want to leave you."

"Em—"

"No, I am staying with you."

Sean shook his head, "Babe, I want you to go home and sleep. I'm fine, I promise."

Emma sighed and said, "Fine."

"I'll keep you company, mom."

She smiled at Drew and said, "I know you will."

Sean said, "And I'll be back home annoying you before you know it."

"You never annoy me."

Jay rolled his eyes, "You two are still sickening." Manny slapped his arm. "Ow, I'm kidding."

Sean yawned and Emma caressed his face, "Okay, we will leave you so you can sleep." She kissed him and smiled, "I love you."

"I love you."

Drew walked over and hugged Sean, "Goodnight, dad."

"Goodnight, kiddo. Happy Birthday."

"Thanks."

Jay shook Sean's hand, "I'll come by in the morning before I head over to the shop."

Sean nodded, "Everything's good?"

"Yep. Everything is good."

"Okay." Sean smiled and said, "Just making sure."

Jay winked at him and walked over to Manny. They walked out together and Emma looked at Sean, "I'll come by in the morning."

Sean smiled and nodded. When they all walked out of the room, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
