Chapter 5
" Boys, Em I don't know."

"Daddy, C'mon I'm almost a teenager, please."

" I think I should talk to your mom, first okay."

" Okay." Emma reluctantly agreed.

'At least it wasn't no.' She thought.

Emma went upstairs to her room. She wanted her dad to talk to her mom as soon as possible. In her room, Emma turned on the stereo and sang along.

Meanwhile downstairs

Rachel walked out of her bedroom with an amused smile on her face.

" What is it?" Ross asked eyeing the smile.

" Jill is getting married. Can you believe that?"

" What? Really?"

" Apparently."

" Well we've got something to decided." Ross said changing the subject, " Our baby wants to invite boys to her 13th birthday party."

" Oh yeah I know. " Rachel replied nonchalantly, " She asked me a couple days ago and I told her to ask you about it."

" So.Um.Um I have no idea.I mean when I was 13 girls never invited me to their parties." Ross explained, " What do you think we should do?"

" Are you gonna freak out with boys in the house?"

" No." Ross answered unsteadily.

" Okay Then I think you should let Emma have boys at her party."

" She's growing so fast."

Upstairs

" And if you if you fallen down don't you dare give in. You will arise safe and sound. So keep pressing on steadily. And you will find what you need to prevail. Once you say I can make it through the rain I can stand up on my on and I know that I'm strong enough ."

Emma abruptly ends her singing in response to the knock on the door.

" Hi Daddy."

" Well Emma you're party can be co-ed."

" Really. Thanks!" Emma said with a smile. She hugged her father and gave him a kiss.

" Is Mommy off the phone? 'Cause I need to make some phone calls?"

" Yeah she is." Ross said. " But come and eat dinner first, Em.

" Okay." Emma agreed as she followed her father down the steps.
After dinner Emma ran to the phone.

" Hi. Taylor.

" Hi Emma. What's up?"

" Guess what? I get to have boys at my birthday."

" Are you serious? That's great. Lem'me guess did Brandon call you today?"

" How did you know?"

" How do you think he got your number?"

" Taylor. You gave him my number."

" You're not mad right."

" No, but you don't have a class with him and I was with him at lunch."

" I have U.S. History with his sister."

" He has a sister in our grade."

" Yeah. You know Mariah right. Long brown hair. She was in our English class last year."

" The girl in band. That sat in the back."

" Bingo. That's her. Trust me though she knows her history."

" I knew there was a reason you're grade was higher then mine in history."

" Hey."

" Sorry hun."

" I gotta go. Dinnertime. Bye Emma."

" Bye Taylor."

After ending her conversation with Taylor, Emma called her cousin Amanda to spread the good news about her party. She tried Brandon a few times but the line was busy. ' Oh well' she thought, 'More for us to talk about tomorrow.'
