I hope none of you think that I am moving too slow with this. I'm just trying to include other characters and build the story up. Thanks for all your support so far. EM

Chapter 5

Totally oblivious to what was happening outside, Emily grinned at her brother and Sam. She bent to hug Jason, "I am so glad that you're ok," straightening back up to repeat the gesture with Sam.

"Me too. So how is my little sister?"

"Good, but enough about me,' Emily wanted to shift the conversation away from her before it even started, "how are the two of you?"

The couple looked at each other. Great, better than great, the treatments seem to have worked and I have my memory back, I have a fiancé…"

Emily was stunned, "Wait, you have a what? Can you repeat that last part?"

Jason grinned at Sam. "Go ahead and show her. I know you want to."

"Show me what?"

"Just this. It's nothing really." Sam said nonchalantly.

"NOTHIHG!" Brother and sister spoke in unison as the other woman held her left hand out for Emily to see the ring.

"Gee, see if I buy you another important piece of jewelry any time soon." Jason laughed as Sam playfully batted her eyes at him.

Emily laughed with them. "I wondered when he would finally have the nerve to make an honest woman out of you. So tell me, have you told anyone else yet or am I honored with being the first to hear it?"

"You're the first." Sam said looking back at her husband to be. "Believe it or not Jason didn't even tell Sonny what he was up to."

"Emily placed her hand to her heart, "I really am special."

Sam hugged her. "Yes you are and don't you forget it."

"Aww thanks Sam. My brother made a wise choice when he decided to let you into his life."

Jason rolled his eyes as Sam looked at him and agreed.

Emily decided that was her cue to leave. After another round of hugs she headed out to check on her childhood friends Lucky and Elizabeth.

She arrived at Lucky's room, knocking before she entered. He was by himself. "Hey, where's Liz?"

Lucky sighed. "I sent her home. She's exhausted. What about you? You look like you could use some rest yourself."

She smiled appreciating his concern. Lucky could always see right through her whether she wanted him to or not. "I'm fine."

"You sure?" Looking as if he didn't believe her.

"I'm sure."

He decided to let it go. "Elizabeth said that Jason was here and that Robin was trying to help him. How's that going?"

"Great. Jason seems to be on the mend."

"What about you? Have they said when they are going to let you out of here?"

"A couple more days. I would have been out of here before now but I think Elizabeth has conspired with the doctors to keep me longer. She's such a worrier."

"So she should be." Emily spoke up in defense of her friend. She almost lost you in that tunnel."

"I know. I know. I'm so lucky to have her."

"Yes you are." She agreed with a smile.

They talked for a few more minutes before Emily decided to leave but not before getting Lucky to promise to have Liz call her later. She closed the door and headed towards the elevator at least she could be happy for the people that she loved.
