Head Over Feet

(Sequel to Love Ridden)

Chapter Two

Here's To The Night

June 19, 2009

Emma walked out of her parents house and got in to her car. Her and Kaydence arrived late last night. Emma drove because it was too last minute to take a plane. Her parents had agreed to watch Kaydence, while Emma went to visit with her friends. About ten minutes later, Emma arrived at her old house. She parked her car and slowly got out. She stood out front and sighed. She walked up the steps and rang the bell.

The door opened. It was Sean, "Emma! You're here early. Manny said you wouldn't be here until tomorrow."

Emma laughed, "Well, if you want I can leave and come back."

Sean laughed with her, "No way! Get in here and give me a hug."

Emma walked in and gave Sean a big hug, "So where is everyone?"

"Manny is out picking out a dress and Jay at work."

"Oh. Well, when will they be back. I have some news."

"What kind of news?"

"Uh, well, it depends on how you look at it."

"What do you mean?"

Emma sighed, "Well, I can't explain without telling you."

Sean smirked, "Then just tell me."

Emma rolled her eyes, "Fine. I have a daughter."

Sean looked confused, "When did that happen?"

Emma made a face, "I would rather not say."

Sean's faced dropped, "You left because you were pregnant. Who's the father?"

Emma looked away, "You know who he is, Sean. His name is flashing in his head right now."

"Jay? Does he know?"

Emma quickly shook her head, "No. And he's not going to know, until I tell him. Right?"

"I can't hide something like that."

"Well, you're going to have to learn to hide it. Please?"

Sean sighed, "Fine. So, what's her name?"

A small smile appeared on Emma's face, "Kaydence Christine."

Sean chuckled, "I always knew you would use your mother's name if you had a daughter."

"How is Jay doing?" Emma asked with concern.

"He's good. He's in love with his job."

Emma bit her lip, "Is he seeing anyone?"

Sean shook his head, "Of course not."

Emma glanced around, "I'm going to look around. It's been a while since I've been here."

Sean smiled, "Go right ahead."

Emma walked up the stairs and walked in to the first room she ever lived in. She looked around. It was now a computer room. Any trance of it once being her room was gone. Well, after Jack had moved in there, it didn't even look like her room. She walked down the hall to her parents old room, which eventually became her room. She slowly opened the door. It had changed the most. It was now Manny and Sean's room. A big four poster bed was against the wall and managing everything filled up the rest of the room. Emma sighed and quietly walked out of the room, slowly closing the door behind her. She walked back downstairs and went to the basement. Her second bedroom in that house. It was very boyish now, definitely Jay. She sat on the edge of the bed and look around. She looked at the ceiling above the bed, the glow in the dark stars she put up long ago were still there. She laid down and accidently fell asleep

Jay came back from work a few hours after Emma had fallen asleep. Jay walked down to his room and took of his jacket. He threw it on to the bed, not noticing a certain blonde. He walked to a fridge and pulled out a beer. Jay walked over to the couch and sat down. He flipped on the TV and then heard movement coming from his bed. He got up and slowly walked over there, "Cameron, I've told you hundreds of times, you and Manny have your own room. You don't gotta come down here and have sex."

When Jay made it to the end of the bed, he dropped his beer. He slowly walked over to the side of the bed. He could see blonde hair sticking out from under the covers. He put his hand on the top of the blanket and pulled it down, "Emma?"

Emma rolled on to her back and slowly opened her eyes. She saw Jay standing over her, "Oh my god! I must have fell asleep."

Jay looked at her, confused, "Obviously, but how exactly did you fall asleep in my bed?"

Emma quickly got out of the bed, "I'm back for the wedding. I was just looking around the house. You know, for memory sake. I came down here and I just sat down. I guess I didn't realize how tired I was when I left my parents house this morning. I drove from New York."

"Well, it's good to see you."

Emma smiled, "You, too. But this is kind of embarrassing."

Jay laughed, "It's fine. I thought you were Sean and Manny. I'm kind of relieved."

Emma laughed, "Yeah, I would be, too." Emma looked down at her watch, "Oh my god. I have to get back."

Jay looked disappointed, "Really?"

Emma nodded, "Yeah. They'll get worried."

"Can't you just call them?"

"I could, but they're watching Ka...Sandy, my dog. She's kind of a terror."

Jay looked at her weird, "Oh. Well, I guess I'll see you tonight? It's one of the many rehearsal dinners that Manny has planned."

Emma laughed and slowly made her way towards the stairs, "Alright, then I'll guess I'll see you tonight. Tell Manny to give me a call?"

Jay nodded and watched her walk up the stairs.
