Author's Note: Sorry guys but I have been busy lately but here is a new chapter so I hope you like it. I think that things are going to start looking up for Manny Santos. Please RR!

Manny's POV

Manny opened her eyes and looked around. Where am I? She sat up and looked behind her. Oh, God! What did I do? Craig is going to be furious! She rubbed her eyes and felt a pain on her right cheek. Oh, yeah. That's why I'm here. She looked at J.T. who was still asleep. He was always there for her, no questions asked. She got out of bed and began to get dressed. "Hey beautiful," she heard J.T. say sleepily. She turned to look at him. "Hey," she replied quietly. J. T. sat up and studied her. "You regret this don't you?"

Manny looked at him. What could she say? " J.T., you know that you are my best friend. You've always been here for me. Last night was a mistake. I shouldn't have slept with you. I was mad at Craig, but I love him, even if he doesn't see that."

J.T. jumped out of bed and pulled his pants on, "that's great Manny! Craig doesn't love you! If he did, then he wouldn't hit you! Manny, can you honestly tell me that you didn't feel anything between us last night?"

No, I can't. But I know what's right. "I didn't feel anything between us last night."

"Get out," he said, tears burning his eyes. She just looked at him. "Didn't you hear me? GET OUT!" Manny turned and walked out of his house and out of his life, forever.

Manny walked home in the cool of the morning. When she arrived home, she found Craig in the living room. She walked over to him and took a seat beside him on the couch. Craig began to sob and buried his face in his hands. "Manny," he said in between sobs, "I'm so, so sorry." I know, you always are, she thought. "Manny," he said looking up to her, "this is the last time. I'm getting some help. I called Dr. Mitchell this morning and set up some counseling sessions." Manny couldn't believe what she was hearing. "You did what?"

"I'm going to see a counselor for my anger problems and my drinking problems."

Thank you, God! Manny took her husbands hands, " Craig, are you sure?"

"Yes, Manny! I never want to hurt you again."

"Oh, Craig! I love you so much! Thank you!" she said wrapping her arms around him. He kissed her softly. "I love you too, Manny." He kissed her tenderly and smoothed her hair. He hasn't kissed me like that in such a long time. Manny fell into Craig's arms as he held her. It seemed that all time had stopped just for Manny Santos.

Emma's POV

Emma lay across her bed. Wow, she thought. My dreams are finally coming true. I am finally going to be Mrs. Sean Cameron! She looked at her hand where her wedding ring would soon be. Tiffani had been ecstatic about the news. She would finally have a mom and a dad, under the same roof. Emma and Sean had talked about it. They were going to be married at the end of the month. That would be long enough to invite most of their friends. She heard the window shut and looked up to see Sean standing by her bed. She laughed. "Sean, I'm not sixteen anymore. You can use the front door."

"I know," he said laying beside her, "but it's more fun if I sneak in like I used to."

"You are something else. What's up?"

"Well, I wanted to make sure that there were no guys down here with my fiancé," he kidded, "but seriously I just needed to see you.

Emma turned to her side and faced him. "Well, you caught me. There's this 'hot stud' under my bed."

Sean smiled and reached over her to look under, pretending to be worried. Emma pushed him back and laughed. "Okay, so I exaggerated a little. There's only dust under there, but there could be a hot stud waiting to take me to a mansion."

Sean frowned. "Well, I don't have a mansion, but I do have this three bedroom apartment that looks like a mansion, to my cat anyways." Emma laughed. "Hmmm, well I guess that will do. As long as I have my handsome stud with me."

"I'll never leave you, Em. I promise you that."

"I know you won't."

He kissed her, softly at first, but began to kiss her more and more passionately. Emma stopped and looked at him.

"What's wrong," Sean asked.

"Nothing," Emma replied, "I was just wondering if my Hot Stud would take me out to breakfast. I'm starved."

"Sure, but where's Tiffani?"

"Mom and Dad took her shopping. I told her I needed to go over some wedding plans."

"Okay, grab your coat. I need to discuss some plans with you too." Emma reached up and kissed him before she climbed out of bed and got dressed. "I'm ready," she said taking his arm as they headed out.
