Hey everyone. I just wanted to thank you for reading this and please leave me a review telling me what you think of this new chapter.

Emily told her everything, about her father, her past and her revenge. Emma was astonished, to know about what her mother was doing but she remembered the picture of her mother and her father together, she looked so happy in that photo that in a way she understood why her mother would go to such lengths to make those evil people pay.

''I can't believe that people could be so evil, but if you know that your mother's still alive then that must mean that you saw her again right?''

''Yes i did see her before she left.''

''Did you two make up?''

''No she didn't recognise me so she thought that Amanda was her daughter.'' Emma felt sorry for her mother because if something like that happened to her she would feel really lonely.

''So mom these people are gone now right?'' Emily nodded.

''Then the only people left that know are Jack and Nolan, so can we go then?''

''Yes but you do realise that you can't tell anyone about what i just told you right?''

''Yeah, everyone except the people who already know.''

''Well then i guess that you can start packing your stuff.'' Emma hugged her mother then headed to her wardrobe to decide what to take with her, meanwhile Emily went back to the kitchen where Aiden was anxiously waiting for her to return.

''How did it go?''

''I told her everything.''

''Is she okay?''

''Yeah she agreed to not tell anyone.''

''So i guess we're going then.''

''Yeah is it okay if we go in a few days?''

''It's fine with me.''

''Ok then, i'll call Nolan.'' Emily dialed Nolan's number.

''Hey Ems i didn't expect to hear from you this soon.''

''We're going to spend the summer in the beach house.''

''That's great but i thought that you were never going to bring Emma here.''

''I told her the truth.''

''Are you sure it's okay to bring her here?''

''Yeah she's not going to tell anyone.''

''So when are you coming?''

''In a few days, i'll see you then.''

A few days later...

Emily, Aiden and Emma were in the car driving to the beach house, Emma was really excited because this was the first time she ever went there while Emily was just happy to see Nolan and Jack. They arrived to the house, it was the same as it was before, when Emma saw the house she was excited so she ran to the porch and looked at the sea.

''Wow i can't believe that we're going to spend the summer here.'' Emily and Aiden walked to her holding up a few boxes.

''You better believe it, now why don't you bring your stuff inside and then we can decide which room you can use.'' Emma then realised that she was so amazed by the surroundings that she completely forgot about the inside of the house so she ran to the car, grabbed the box with her stuff and brought it in the house.

''Emma there's a guest room upstairs that you can use, but in the mean time i'll show you where everything is.'' After Emily gave Emma the tour of the house she showed her the room she would be staying in, as they walked in Emma went to the window and looked outside.

''I love this place mom.'' Emily smiled and walked next to her.

''I'm glad. Do you remember Carl?''

''Yeah i think i met him at the wedding. Why?''

''Tomorrow it's his birthday, so Jack's having a party at the Stowaway, do you want to go?''

''Sure i'd love to. Emily went downstairs and found Aiden unpacking the stuff so she hugged him from behind and when he turned around he kissed her gently.

''Am i interrupting?'' Nolan came in and Aiden reluctantly let go of Emily so she could hug Nolan.

''It's nice to see you again Nolan.'' Emma went downstairs and smiled when she saw Nolan, she didn't know any other relatives except her father's mother who sometimes came to visit them, so for her he was like family.

''Uncle Nolan!'' Emma ran to his arms.

''Hey Emma, you haven't changed at all.''

''Why did you come here?''

''I just wanted to check on you and i needed to discuss something with Emily.''Emily looked at him and she knew that by the look on his face it wasn't good news.

''Ok let's go outside though.'' They went to the porch.

''What happened?''

''It's about Conrad.''

''Didn't he die 7 years ago?''

''It's about how he died, i recently discovered that he didn't die in a prison fight, one of the guards let him escape but before anyone could pick him up he was killed.''

''How did you learn this?''

''The guard who let him out confessed to it.''

''I don't understand why you're worried. He's dead regardless.''

''Yes but what about the killer, aren't you concerned?''

''It's been 7 years if he wanted to harm me he would have done it before, right?''

''I guess so but be careful.''

''I will.'' Nolan went to his car and drove away, honestly he was still worried about Emily's safety because whoever killed Conrad could be a potential threat to her.

Emily walked in the house where Emma was helping her father unpack the stuff but when Aiden saw her he was worried, because he could tell that something was wrong.

''Is everything alright?'' Emily gave him a reassuring smile.

''Don't worry everything's fine.''Aiden wasn't convinced but decided to let it go for now.

The next day...

Jack was making the final preparations for the party, he heard from Nolan that Emily was going to stay in the Hamptons for the summer with Aiden and Emma, he hadn't seen Emily for a long time so he was looking forward to it,

''Hey Jack.'' He saw Emily walk in followed by Emma, he was dumb struck, he couldn't believe how she looked exactly the same as Amanda at her age, everything exept the eye color.

''Hey Emily, thank you for coming on such short notice.''

''Don't worry it wasn't a problem and i wanted to see how my god son was doing.'' As soon as she said that Carl came down the stairs.

''Emma?'' Carl looked surprised whilst Emma smiled at him.

''Happy birthday Carl.'' Emily noted that Carl had Amanda's same hair color.

''Why don't you kids go play together at the beach while me and Emily catch up.''The kids nodded and ran outside.

''Wow he's really grown up now.''

''Yeah, Emma has really grown up as well, she looks exactly like you did at your age.''Charlotte came in.

''Emily?''

''Oh hey Charlotte, haven't seen you in a while.''

''Yeah i've heard that you have a child now.''

''And she is also married.'' Aiden added as he walked in, everyone was surprised by his arrival.

''I thought that you had to go in the city.''

''Yeah but i missed you and Emma so i came back earlier.''

''So you and Aiden got married.'' Charlotte was a bit confused, but the attention in the room soon turned to the door when Carl and Emma came running in.

''Hey princess.'' Emma ran to his arms.

''But i thought that you were coming home later.''
''Well i missed you and your mom too much so i couldn't help myself.'' Emily smiled at him and he kissed her, Charlotte couldn't help but smile too at this sweet family moment.

''Weren't you kids playing outside?''Jack said.

''Yeah but i wanted to show Emma the beach so i wanted to ask your permission.'' Carl looked at Emily and Jack.

''I don't mind as long as you come back in time for the party.''Jack stated,

''It's fine with me.''Emily said while Aiden was a bit reluctant because he felt very protective over Emily and Emma but when he saw the pleading look on her face he gave up.

''Fine.''Emma smiled and went outside with Carl.
''It seems like our kids are already getting along Porter, it's like history is repeating itself.'' The three of them gave eachother a knowing look, Jack could tell that Charlotte was confused so he decided to change the subject.

''So Charlotte why did you come by early?''

''I just wanted to see if could help you out.''

''Oh okay if you want you can help me sort out some things in the back.''

''That would be great.'' When Jack and Charlotte walked out of the room, Emily gave Aiden a nagging look.

''I know, i know. I'll be more careful in the future.''

''I hope so, it's already a risk just having Emma here, she can't find out about me.''

''Why not? I mean seriously why not?''

''Come on i've already told you that if she found out she could reveal my identity to everyone and put our family in danger.''

''Or she could agree to keep it a secret.'' Emily was saddened because it was not like she didn't want to have a relationship with her sister but she had a family now and she could never put it in danger, Aiden recognised the look on her face and decided to let it go reluctantly. ''Fine i give up. But you should keep it in consideration.''

Little after their conversation was over people started coming in, it was a great party and Carl received some amazing gifts, everyone had lots of fun. Near the end of the party Stevie showed up, as soon as Jack saw her he went to greet her and so did other people. Emily didn't notice her coming in since she was mostly with Carl and Emma outside playing with them but eventually Stevie found her.

''Emily, wow it's been a while hasn't it.''

''Stevie, it's great to see you again.''

''Jack told me that you are staying with your family in the beach house this summer. Is it true?''

''Yes, we are. What about you, are you going to stay with Jack?''

''Oh no, i'm staying at the south fork inn...Wait is that who i think it is?'' Emily turned to the direction Stevie was looking at to find Kara Clarke walking in.
