Chapter 2
"You never told me you had a daughter." Roger said after the door slammed.
"Sorry....I don't know what to say. I have a daughter." She replied.
"Ummm....I'm gonna go now, cuz of the akwardness and all." Joey interrupted, then he too went out the door and crossed the hallway to Monica and Chandler's apartment.
"Were you ever married?....." Rachel shook her head, "Do you even know who the father is?"
"YEAH! He's a doctor here in New York. He takes her sometimes, but he's been really busy lately. He raised her until she was 3, then his career took off and he didn't have the time to take care of a child." she explained trying to summarize her daughter's life as quick as possible.
Roger eventually left after they fooled around a little more. They left together for work.
Emily made her way down to the bus stop. "Ugh! Now i have to sit at the bus stop fo like a half an hour! This sucks!" As she walked down the stone steps of the apartment building and onto the New York City sidewalk, her beath visible becuase of the frigid air escaping her cherry lips. She sat down on the lonely bench and waited in the cold.
Later that day, Rachel sat in her office thinking in embarrassment of what had happened earlier that morning, and of her beautiful illegitimate child. Emily's child wide eyes, a rich brown with specks of gold, looking up at her with sadness. Her chestntu brown ringlets put neatly up in a ponytail without ruining the perfectness of the silky curls. Rachel searched Emily's features for her own, finding many similarities.
A smile crept across her face. She thought to herself "I should do something special for her, but i don't know how to act around her." She didn't know what to say or how to be around Emily. It was a different kind of love that she had nevr expereinced before now, and she didn't know how to react to it.
Finally the work day was neding and Rachel just wanted to get home and explain things to her daughter.
When Rachel walked Emily and Joey were sitting on the couch, eyes glued to the television. " What're you guys watching?" Rachel asked almost immediately wishing she had never asked.
"It's a Baywatch marathon!" Joey exclaimed.
"Yeah, and the ladies' nipples are always hard. Joey says that it's to get guys to watch it, but i don't get it." Emily said keeping her focus on the TV set, avoiding her mother's gaze.
"Oh........ok. Hey Em, what do you say we maybe.......go out to dinner tonight?" this time SHE was avoiding Emily's eyes.
"Just you and me?" Rachel nodded, "Really? YEAH!"
"Good, we'll leave at around 5:45!" Rachel said and left Emily with a big smile on her face. The door shut behind her as she entered her room, she fell onto the bed and slowly drifted off to sleep.
After Rachel left the room Emily got up from the couch and went off to her room. She sat down in front of her dollhouse and picked up 2 dolls. She then picked up the daddy dolly ( which she had colored the plastic hair black *hint- who the father is*) and placed the mommy and daughter dolly at the tiny kitchen table while placing the daddy in a shoe box which she had decorated with furnisher to look like a house. ""How was your day, pumpkin?" she said trying to make a mommy voice, " "It was good, but i need a hug!" she said in a normal voice. ""OK, get over here! I'll give you a big momma bear hug!" Emily giggled a little then got up from the floor and walked over to her CD player and pressed the "play" button.
The music started and she positioned herself i front of her mirror. She grabbed her hair brush. "If you need me call me no matter where you are no matter ow far................Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough.........." she sang and danced in front of the mirror. She quickly glanced over at the clack and it read 5:40. She dropped the brush and hustled to her closet to get dressed into something that would impress her mother.
After she finished dressing she ran out of the room where Joey was still watching the Baywatch marathon. "Where's Mommy?" she asked excitedly.
"I think she's still in her room." he said still focused on the woman joggin up a serene stretch of beach.
"Thanks!" she ran over to the door and knocked softly....no one answered. She cracked the door open just enough to see the figure of her mother on the bed fast asleep. She walked in and stood at the side of the bed and gently shook her mother's shoulder. "Mommy...........mommy, c'mon it's time to o to dinn-"
"Leave me alone! I'm sleeping!" she scolded as she rolled to the other side of the bed.
"Sorry......." she said and leeft the room and ran bawling to her room.
Whenshe got innto her room she spoke to herself. "W-w-why does she always do this to me, T-t-tell me that we'll do something and n-n-never do it!" she pcked up her teddy bear and curled up in fetal position in the center of her floor and put herself to sleep as tears ran down her lightly pink cheek.
"You never told me you had a daughter." Roger said after the door slammed.
"Sorry....I don't know what to say. I have a daughter." She replied.
