Emma rolled her eyes as Craig gave another lame joke that had everyone in the car laughing. They were going to be leaving for two weeks. No school, no nothing. Just to have fun, and Emma was along. She never thought her mom would allow her to do this, but she did, and Emma grinned as Sean laid his head on her shoulder. "What's wrong?"

She shook her head as she crained her neck to look at the three cars following them, full of the extra 10 kids that were going alone. "Nothing, I'm just bored, that all."

"Well," Sean said playfully as he traced circles on her stomach, making her giggle. "It's just me and you back here, Manny and Craig won't see . . . "

"Sean!"

Sean laughed as Emma hit him in the head lightly with a magazine that was on her lap. "Well, it was a good try."

Shaking her head, Emma raked her fingers through his hair absently. Closing his eyes, he pushed his head in her hand playfully. "Will you stay still?" She giggled.

Sean took her hand as his smile diminished and placed it on his chest, right above his heart. Feeling it hammer under her palm, feeling the heat of his skin radiating through his t-shirt. She opened her mouth to say something as his lips pressed on hers, surprising her, yet the tenderness of his gentle strokes and tender suckling made her whimper and pull him closer to her.

Stroking her bottom lip softly with his tongue, she moaned softly and ran her fingers through his hair as she parted her lips and let him explore her mouth. Bringing himself closer to her, feeling her shudder as he pushed his weight on top of her slightly, she giggled as she grabbed fistfuls of his shirt and tenderly stroked his muscular chest.

Feeling him make a low noise in his throat that was a cross between a grunt and a groan, she smiled as she began sucking on his bottom lip before assaulting his lips and tongue like he did hers a few moments ago. Feeling the raging desire, burning passion as he reached behind her head and pushed her softly forward, she could feel her heart beginning to melt, could feel her blood boil as he began to stroke and massage her lower back, going daringly low a couple of times before he returned to her shoulders.

Pulling back, Emma laid her head on his shoulder as he continued his assault on her body. Sighing, he ceased his ministrations as he ran his fingers through her long blonde hair. "Well that was different." He finally said breathless.

Emma blushed and giggled. "How was it different?"

"I . . . I felt different this time . . . I didn't want to stop."

Emma smiled as she led a wet trail of kissing down his throat, feeling as he moved his head to the side with a sigh to allow her more access. "I don't want to stop either."

"Why did you?"

Emma didn't answer him as she leaned up, and brought her lips so close to his that he could feel her breath. "I won't do it again." She whispered so softly he barely caught it. But when he did, he shuddered as her breath tickled his lips, the tone of her voice playing havoc on his mind and groin, and he gave a low whimper as she refused to kiss him and lay her head on his chest.

"Your evil, you know that?" He whispered softly.

Adam fidgeted nervously as Spinner gave him another death glare from the rearview mirror. Followed by a giggle and a warning pat by Paige, he ceased his threatening---for the moment. Adam sighed and decided to try to ignore him. Which didn't work that well. He found he was terrified by the heavy set teenager, and that made him very irritated.

Looking out the window, he stared as he saw Emma throw her blonde hair back and smiled, pearly teeth shining in the sun, an amused twinkle in her eyes, then he saw Sean Cameron sitting next to him. Tightening his grip on the doorknob that was locked from the outside, he gritted his teeth together he snorted and ceased looking out the window. "What's eating you?"

Adam looked at the dark haired boy. Toby Isaacs raised his eyebrows as Adam stared at him through gritted teeth. Refusing to answer the question, Adam just stared at Toby until the young boy with glasses rolled his eyes and began talking to Spinner. Spinner watched Adam closely through the rearview mirror, ignoring as Paige cleared her throat repeatedly to get his attention. Adam, already with an attitude, stared right back with a silent challenge in his blank expression.

Spinner finally gave in, and answered Paige, who had completely blown a fuse and was ranting and raving about how he never listens to anything she says. Adam smiled. Pretty soon, me and Emma will have fights like these . . . And when I apologize to her, everything will be alright, and we'll grow even closer than we already was.

He had been planning this ever since the day he was pummeled by Cameron. After what he done to him, Adam decided that Sean didn't deserve Emma, and that Adam was the one who fate decided to be in her heart. But fate was taking to long, so he was going to take matters in his own hands. By whatever means possible . . .

Cutting his eye to look out the window, he watched as Sean kissed Emma sweetly, and he felt as his temper soared. Only a matter of time Emma . . . You'll realize that noone can love you like I can. If I have to get rid of Cameron to prove it to you, so be it.

Manny watched as Emma and Sean fell asleep in the seat behind them. "They're so cute!" She whispered.

Craig sighed. "Yeah . . . It's amazing how they never worry about anything."

"Yeah---"

"Manny, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"About what?"

"What happened with us last year . . . and what happened with you."

Manny blanched a little as she grabbed the seat belt and nervously began yanking on it softly. Craig watched her closely, (though keeping his eyes on the road carefully) wondering what possessed him to bring up the subject, but he sighed and began talking. "When you were . . . And you had the choice . . . would you have kept it? The baby I mean?"

Manny tried not to look at him as she stared out the window at the trees that were flying past them. "I . . . I don't know. Would you have wanted me to?"

Craig winced. "I mean . . . we couldn't have taken care of it . . . but it's better than killing it to at least give it a try right?"

Manny shrugged. "I don't know. There's nothing we can do about it now. You can't change the past."

Craig watched as she fell silent and closed her eyes tightly as they began to moisten. He wanted to say something, to comfort her, but words wouldn't come as he sighed again and softly banged on the wheel. "Manny . . . I'm sorry. For putting you through all that."

Manny said nothing, didn't even look at him as her face tightened and she pressed her lips together so hard that they turned white. Tucking her hair back behind her ear, she went into her pocketbook and pulled out her wallet. Pulling out a crumpled piece of paper, she unfolded it and laid it in his lap. "This is all I had left. My mother didn't care what I wanted . . . She said that I had to get rid of it. She made me get the abortion because she was only thinking about how people would turn their faces up at our family. So . . . I went to the doctor, and got these done."

"Manny . . . I . . . "

"I never thought I would feel that way when I knew their was life in my stomach. I never thought that even though it wasn't even complete yet, I would grow to love it. But I did. But she didn't care. " She wrapped her hands around her stomach. " I would give anything to get him back, but he's gone forever. That's all I have left. A picture."

Craig reached over and took her hand in his. He found that he couldn't say anything. Her confession shocked him more than anything. To think that she had grown attached to it, only to have it snatched away from her, he had a feeling that it was a heartbreaking thing. He didn't think how much it would effect her. He didn't think about his actions, didn't worry about the consequences. Now, he hurt her more than he ever could, and he couldn't do a damn thing about it.

Manny wiped her eyes and sniffled a little before she turned to him and plastered a fake smile on her face. She waved her hand at him, as if to tell him not to worry, before her gaze fell on the picture in his lap. Silence fell over her again as she laid her head back and stared at the road from out the window.

A/N

Call this a chapter if you want. I call it a piece of crap. It's too short, just a spare of the moment thing. But I'm sorry, and I promise next time I won't post when I have a very bad attitude. Something happened at home with my stepfather, and I'm just fed up with him. I probably won't post to later on today, I have to go to a meeting today, (In this program where every summer I go to Bowdoin college in Maine for 5 days. It's really cool.) And we're having a party later on today, so it'll be late when you get an update. I really don't know, it probably won't even be today. Enjoy! Or at least try to . . . .
