Authors Note: Sorry that this chapter is so short. I promise to work on it more later. And to my reviewer thengirl3 you guessed right.
Emma walked into the Dot nervously. I'm such an idiot, she thought. Why did I do that? Why did I have to call him? It's been 10 years! She looked around and her eyes immediately fell on Sean. He looked so good, with those light curls and soft eyes. His face was almost exactly the same, except for the facial hair that had managed to grow. He spotted her looking at him and smiled warmly. She gathered her courage and walked over to him. "Hey Sean," she said softly, her heart pounding. He stood and pulled her into a longing hug.
"Em," he began, "it's been way too long."
"I know," she said on the verge of tears. After a few minutes, he realized that he was still holding on to her and quickly stepped back, blushing.
"Well," he said trying to get rid of the awkward silence growing between them, "what have you been doing for the last ten years?"
"Nothing really, just taking care of Tiffani. I work for an animal shelter."
"I knew you would do something to help the world, but who is Tiffani?"
Oh God, she forgot. "Um, Tiffani is my daughter," she said quietly.
"Oh," he said with a hint of sadness in his voice, "how old is she?"
"Ten," she said, looking him straight in the eyes. He thought about it, after a while he said, "She can't be. Ten years ago, we were toge-." He stopped, realizing what she was telling him. She nodded and looked down.
"I need to sit down," he said taking his seat at the table. Emma quickly sat down across from him. She watched him as he buried his face in his hands.
"Wow," he said after what seemed like an eternity.
"I'm sorry, Sean. I, I should have told you sooner. I couldn't though. I was afraid to. I really wanted to tell you—." She was cut off.
"Yeah, Em, you should have told me! I have a daughter that I haven't seen for TEN YEARS! I would have helped you support her! What were you so afraid of!"
She dropped her head, "that you wouldn't want to have anything to do with either of us."
Sean looked at her and sighed. He knew she was probably right. If she had told him sooner, he probably wouldn't want them. He was different now. He took full responsibility for his actions. Plus, secretly he has been madly in love with Emma ever since she left. He knew the only way to win her back was to change his ways. That's why he dumped Ellie. He reached across the table and took Emma's hand.
"Shhh, it's okay," he said trying to comfort Emma who was now shaking and in tears.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry, Sean, for everything," she said in between sobs.
Sean got up and went over to her to put his arms around her. God, she's even beautiful when she cries.
"Can I see her?"
