"Hello?" Emily answered the phone and Carly quickly noticed the look of shock coming over her friends face.
In the mean time at the police station, Jack was closely watching his best friend while he was talking to his wife.
The look of love and hapiness was undeniable and Jack's feelings about Hal divorcing Emily were quickly disolving and making room for understanding.
Jack knew what it was like to love someone so completely that you forgot all the rotten things they had ever done. That's what he had with Carly.
He looked back at Hal and noticed that he had moved back in his chair and was casually talking to Emily.
"Come on, you know it's true. I made a huge fool out of myself when I first proposed to you. I used flowers from our own garden for God's sake"
Several officers in the precint looked in his direction and tried to stiffle their laughter.
Hal looked back at them and shot them a look that said 'Get to work!' When he heard Emily's voice again, he quickly focused back on the conversation.
"Sorry, what did you just say?" He apologized.
"Am I boring you Munson?" Emily teased, a smile gracing her face.
Carly was doing her best to make it look like she wasn't listening to the conversation, but she couldn't help herself.
These were two of her best friends and she wanted nothing more then for them to find happiness together. Especially since they looked anything but happy when they were apart.
When she heard Emily end her conversation with Hal, she stopped her own musings and focused her attention on Emily again.
She shot a questioning look towards her friend and smiled. "Fond memories?" she asked, knowing full well that they were.
"Very, I can't believe I was ever stupid enough to let him go for Paul"
"Neither could any of your friends" Carly said. She wasn't just talking about hersel, she was talking about Jack as well and Jennifer, Will, Tom and Margo. Even Susan and Alison never thought that Emily would ever leave Hal.
Emily knew what Carly meant. Getting together with Paul and hurting Hal in the process was something that they never thought she'd do. It was something she herself never thought she'd do, but despite of that, she'd still done it. She'd still gotten together with Paul and in the process, had hurt the only man she ever really loved.
She took a deep breath and tried to fight the tears that were forming in the corners of her eyes. "I'm such an idiot. I had the most wonderful and understanding husband in the whole world and I threw it all away. I don't deserve his love, I never did!"
"Ofcourse you do" Carly tried to reassure her. "You're not with Paul anymore are you?"
Emily hesitantly shook her head and whiped the tears from her face.
"There you go!" Carly exclaimed. "You made a mistake, we all make mistakes. God knows I've made enough" she said, causing Emily to smile through her tears.
"Feel better now?" Carly asked hopefull.
"No, I don't. Just because you made mistakes and Jack took you back and forgave you, doesn't mean you actually deserve him"
When she saw the slightly hurt look on Carly's face, she got up and grabbed her purse.
"I'm sorry" She apologized. "I've gotta go"
Without giving Carly a chance to react, she was gone and off to her car.
Carly quickly got up and tried to stop her. "Emily! Emily wait!"
When she saw her speed away in her car, she sighed in defeat and quickly picked up Sage. "Come on sweetheart, we're gonna go call your uncle Hal"
