I am so sorry for the long wait. My computer broke down, and then we
had to move and then I had to reinstall everything. Anyway, I will be
updating at my regular pace from now on and I hope you guys continue to
read my story. And I know the odds of Spinner and Emma marrying are about
zero but that's the point. The next few chapters may be short until I get
back into the flow of things so bear with me. And I'm not a particular
Manny and Craig fan, but it's the only one that worked.
I sat at the office desk, still feeling a little awkward about what had happened between Sean and me. But I knew I could handle it, but with Spinner being around I would be on the edge. I had to avoid him, and I had to keep him away from my kids. I hated him for cheating on me and making me miserable by sticking me in an unhappy marriage.
"Earth to Emma," Sean was saying.
"Sorry," I said. "What were you saying?"
"I was asking you if you would like to have dinner with me tonight. My daughter is with Ellie's mom," he said.
"Oh, I would love to. Mom said she wanted to take the kids shopping tonight anyway," I said.
"Great, I can't wait."
I was unusually nervous. I didn't want to rekindle my feelings for him because that would hurt everybody involved. Sean picked me up and we went to his house.
"What are we doing here?" I asked, not wanting a repeat of what happened the last time we were alone at his house.
"It's a surprise," he said, taking my hand.
He put his hands over my eyes when we entered the house. When he took them off, we were standing in the kitchen. He had a beautiful dinner-for- two set up.
"Aw, this is so sweet, Sean," I said, hugging him.
He smiled and pulled out a chair for me. "I hope your hungry."
"Famished," I answered.
"Good, because we're going fun tonight."
Manny sat at the top of the stairs. Craig hadn't come home in three days and she was worried about him. He promised her that he would quit doing this when he found out about the baby. She sighed and held back tears when she heard the door open and close and Craig came up the stairs.
"Where have you been?" She asked.
"Out," he said, walking past her.
She sighed and stood up. "I'm not going to take this anymore, Craig! I'm sick of this! You said you would stop, and you haven't and you don't need to talk to me like I am a dog."
"Manny, I don't. I didn't mean to...I'm sorry," he said.
"DO you even know how long you've been gone?"
"Two hours, what's the big deal?"
"What's the big deal? Craig, you've been gone for three days! What were you doing?"
"It's none of your business!"
"I'm your wife! Do you even register that? Do you even remember that you married me and that we have a baby on the way?" she screamed at him.
"Stop screaming at me," he said.
Mr. Manning was standing in the hallway, screaming at Craig. He had found pictures of Angela...he wouldn't stop screaming...
"No," Manny continued to yell. "You did this to yourself! I'm not doing this anymore!"
"STOP!" he screamed, slapping her so hard she lost her balance and fell down the stairs. She lay on the floor, unconscious.
