Sean was running frantically around the house, trying to clean. He ran up to his bedroom, washed the sheets and made his bed. He grabbed a condom and put it in his jean pocket. He had never been more nervous before in his life. Should I have gotten candles? he wondered. He shook his head, dismissing the idea. It probably would've been too much. He glanced at his watch. Emma would be here any minute. He sat down on the couch, trying to calm down. But he couldn't stop worrying. Should we do something first, like order a pizza or watch a movie? Or should we just do it? I hope it's not too awkward. He heard a knock on the door. She was here.

Emma glanced down at her outfit, hoping it wasn't too casual. She was wearing a tank top and mini skirt- should she have dressed up? Would he have dressed up? Emma imagined Sean in a tuxedo. She suppressed a giggle.

Sean opened the door. "Hey," he said, obviously trying to be casual. "You look really pretty." Emma blushed. "Thanks." She stepped inside the house. It was unnaturally clean.
"So," she asked, "do you want to go up to your room?" He nodded, and they walked upstairs. Sean opened the door for her. Emma started to walk to the center of the room, but he stopped her. She leaned against the wall.

"I just wanted you to know that you're perfect and you're beautiful and I love you," he said quickly. She smiled. "I love you too."

Emma put her arms around his neck and kissed him. Sean pinned her against the door, but not hard enough to hurt her. They started to make out. Sean left a trail of kisses on her neck and collarbone. Emma pulled Sean's wife beater over his head and tossed in on the floor. Sean reached over and switched the lights off. They kissed against the doorway for a little while, and then Sean led Emma to his bed. He laid her down on top of the sheets, and started to kiss her some more. He started to pull off her tank top, but he could feel her stiffen underneath him.
"You don't have to be nervous," he said soothingly. "I'm sorry," she apologized. "I'm just kinda scared." "I know. And I promise, I'll be very gentle," he reassured her. She nodded, and leaned her head back onto the pillow. They kissed some more, but Sean was almost afraid to try and take off her shirt. Emma noticed this and took his hand, placing it on the bottom of her tank top. "It's okay," she told him. "I won't stop you this time." He nodded, and pulled off her tank top. (A/N: Since this is PG-13, I'm gonna let you guys imagine the rest)

Sean opened his eyes to the harsh glare of the sunlight. He looked down at Emma, who was still asleep in his arms. She looked like an angel. He put his hand over her heart and felt the steady pace of her heartbeat. Her eyes fluttered open, and she smiled up at him.

"Good morning, Sunshine," he whispered. "Good morning? It's one o'clock in the afternoon. I was supposed to be home about three hours ago." Sean raised his eyebrows. "Emma Nelson, three hours late? Surely such an intelligent and respectable young lady wouldn't be sleeping in so late. I simply can't see a girl like that doing anything inappropriate." "Of course not. I must have been thinking of someone else," she agreed. He kissed the side of her head.

"Are you happy?" he asked. "I've never been happier in my entire life," she told him. "Good."

She sat up and stretched. "We better get going. We're supposed to meet everyone at The Dot in an hour." He tried to pull her back down. "No, don't go. Let's call and cancel. Stay with me. Stay with me forever." "I will. I'm just not going to stay here in this bed forever. Mind if I use your shower?" "Well, okay. But only if you let me join you." She hit him playfully. "Ow! No need to hit me, I was just kidding!" he exclaimed. She rolled her eyes. "I'm gonna go take that shower now." "Okay." She got up and left the room, and he heard the water running for her shower.

Sean laid his head back on the pillow. He felt different, but a good different. A great different. All he could think about was Emma. She was so wonderful. Last night had been absolutely perfect. He had never felt closer to anyone, never loved anyone as much as he loved her. He grabbed the pillow and hugged it tightly, pretending that it was her.

Emma stuck her head out of the bathroom. Sean was still in bed. Typical she thought with a small smile on her face. She snuck into the living room and pulled her cell phone, pressing a button for her speed dial.
"Hello, Em, is that you?" a hurried voice came from the other end.
Emma giggled. "Is that how you answer all your calls?" she teased.
"Emma! I've been waiting for your call all day! So, how was it?" Manny asked.
Emma sighed happily. "So so so incredible. I swear to God, if I could, I'd marry him today."
Manny shrieked excitedly. "I knew it! Oh, you're so in love, aren't you?"
"Totally in love," Emma agreed. "But, Manny, you can't tell anyone about this.

"No way," said Manny.
xXx
"...Isn't that romantic! I'm so happy for them!" Manny told her friends excitedly.

Ashley, Spinner, Hazel, Craig, Jimmy, Marco, Toby, Dylan, J.T., Paige and Ellie were listening to Manny go on and on about how cute Emma and Sean were, half surprised that Manny told, half excited for the scoop.

"But you guys can't tell anyone, okay? And don't let Emma know that you know," said Manny with concern.

"Well, duh no," said Paige. "We know how Emma is. Oh my God, this is so cool! I hope they ask me to be a bridesmaid."

Ellie rolled her eyes. "You just want an opportunity to wear a fancy dress," she teased. "But I can totally see them getting married."

"They're made for each other," Hazel sighed happily.

"It's very romantic," agreed Ashley. "I'm glad things are going so well for Emma."

"Going so well for Emma? What about Sean? Emma's my friend and it's not like I like her or whatever, but still! She's really hot," said Jimmy.

"I just can't believe that Sean knew that he was gonna get lucky and he didn't tell me," said Spinner, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Uh, Spin? Remember what happened the time when I told you about Ash at Paige's surprise party? Sean probably didn't want the same thing to happen," said Craig.

"Yo, whatever man," grumbled Spinner.

"It's so surprising. It seems like just yesterday that Emma was ranting about how horrible her first date with Sean was that day in Grade Seven. And now they're like, getting serious. Time flies by so fast," reminisced Toby.

"Come on, Tobes, it is Sean we're talking about here. Besides, I think they're cute," defended J.T.

"'Cute'? You sound like such a girl," dismissed Spinner.

"Well, I think they're very cute," said Marco firmly.

"Yeah. Good for them," Dylan said with a smile.

"And we can't talk about it in front of them," reminded Manny.

"Hun, although I do love gossip, I never dish my friends' lives to strangers," said Paige.

The door to The Dot open and in walked Emma and Sean, holding hands and wearing smiles that suggested secrets that their friends already knew. (A/N: True, Manny shouldn't have spilled, but don't think that Emma will find out and never speak to each other again. Their friends know and don't talk about it and that's the end of that!)

One month later, Emma and Manny were hanging out in Manny's room. Manny was modeling her new outfit to Emma.

"Isn't it totally the cutest thing ever?" Manny asked.

"Yeah, sure," said Emma, not really paying attention.

Manny frowned. "What's up with you? You're acting all spacey."

"Nothing's wrong! I'm fine, just drop it!" Emma snapped.

Manny sat down on her bed next to Emma. "Did your friend come to visit? You need a tampon or something?"

"I wish," muttered Emma.

"And what's that supposed to mean?"

"I'm late," Emma said quietly.

"How late?" Manny asked slowly.

"About a month."

"A month?"

Emma buried her head in her arms. "I haven't gotten my period for a month, I've had bad stomach cramps all week, and I threw up this morning and yesterday morning too."

"Oh, God..." said Manny.

Emma's eyes were filling with tears. "I'm pregnant," she whispered.

A/N: Oooooooooh, cliffhanger AGAIN! Sorry, I just couldn't resist!
