A/N: After some serious…slipping off into Lala-Land I think I might have come up with the next couple of chapters. Sorry they're all short.
Spike couldn't say anything to Emma as she picked her up and drove her home with Jack in the backseat sound asleep.
Emma looked out the side view mirror could it be the black eye or could it be the fact that after all Emma has grown up with she let's men do whatever they want to with her body. But it wasn't like that. Only the select few:
Jay
Jason
What his name?
Who cares?
Not Really That Good Looking But Hell…
Spike pulled into the driveway. As soon as she stopped the car she put her hands on the wheel and broke down.
"Mom?" Emma asked.
"Don't talk to me," Spike snapped. She wiped her eyes and finally opened her door. She opened the door in the backseat and got Jack out. She walked up to the house with a sleeping Jack on her shoulder.
Emma picked up Spike's cell phone and hit the voice messages button and listened to the most depressing message of all.
"Mr. Simpson," a voice said. "We got your tests back and…I'm afraid your cancer is back. We need to schedule an appointment to start your chemotherapy and radiation as soon as possible."
"No," Emma whispered. Her hand shook as she hung up the phone. She beat her head against the back of the seat.
"Mmm…Emma," Jason said kissing her neck and working his hands down her bare body.
"Don't talk," Emma whispered.
Jason stopped and looked at her. "Emma, what's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing."
"You're lying."
"I am not."
He rolled off of her and looked at her. "Something's wrong and I demand to know what it is."
Emma lied there on his bed, naked, with the cool sheets wrapping around her body. "It's just everything's messed up at home and at school," she said.
"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked.
She looked up in his eyes and they were so deep and so soft they reminded her of…Jay? The only thing the two of them had in common besides their name was that they both hooked up with Emma "Easy" Nelson.
And by the look on Jason's face when he heard the doorknob of the apartment jiggle that he was not single.
Sure enough when the blond girl walked in and saw Jason naked with a little tramp in his bed, Emma was sure that she had gotten herself into something deep.
