" Manny, is there something wrong?" Emma asked the tearful Manny.
"Chris is thinking of calling of the wedding for a while," Manny cried.
"But why?" Emma asked exasperated.
"At least till this Sean thing stops. He doesn't want you to be upset on your wedding day. Or until you are ready the wedding is called off." Manny said.
"No!! We already sent out the invitations!" Emma cried curling to the floor.
" Then you want to still follow through the wedding on July 18th ?" Manny asked.
" I will be Mrs. Sharpe on July 18th !" Emma said sternly.
"Great, Em!" Chris interrupted.
Emma smiled and stood up to kiss Chris. "I have to go to work now. I love you," Emma whispered in his ear.
"I love you too," Chris said. "Call me if anything happens," Chris ordered.
"Yes, Mr. Sharpe!" Emma giggled. "Come on Manny," Emma said in a rush and went out the door to her car.
The Simpson Household:
"Mom, no time to talk! Shower, dressed, out the door!" Emma gushed and ran upstairs.
"Hi, Mrs. Simpson," Manny said quietly.
"Oh, Manny! You poor thing. You will be staying with us from now on or until you get your feet back on the ground," Spike babied.
"No I couldn't!" Manny said.
"Of course you can!" Spike said as she picked up the five year old Jack.
"Is that baby Jack?" Manny laughed.
"He certainly isn't a baby!" Spike laughed and sat down on the sofa.
"Mrs. Simpson... I heard Craig called... what did he have to say?" Manny asked as her voice shook.
"Manny... you can't be interested. Craig broke your heart..." Mrs. Simpson worried at Manny's interest.
"I just need to talk to him... that's all. It's not like I'm going to go off with him and do something stupid," Manny said angrily.
"I'm just concerned that's all...Well here's the number he left for you,"
"Thank you, Mrs. Simpson!" Manny said and ran to the phone in the kitchen. Manny picked up the receiver and dialed the number on the piece of paper.
"Hello?" The other end of the line asked.
"Is Craig there?" Manny asked eagerly.
"Yeah... hold on," The voice said. And Manny heard some shuffling and voices.
"This is Craig!" Craig said.
"Um... er...," Manny was speechless now.
"Manny?" Craig whispered.
"Yeah," Manny shook.
"How are you doing?" Craig asked in a hushed voice.
"I'm fine. I work at The Vibe and I'm going to be living with The Simpson's," Manny informed Craig.
"Hey... do you wanna get to get there sometime later today?" Craig asked.
"Yeah, I would like that," Manny agreed.
"Great. Meet me at the Dot... for good ole times sake," Craig said happily.
" What time?" Manny asked.
" 1: 15," Craig said.
"Okay. Bye," Manny hung up the receiver. Manny couldn't believe what she just did! She couldn't tell Emma. She would be infuriated!
