Marissa and Emily went over to Summer and Seth's place, Emily knocked on the door and Summer opened the door,

Summer looked down at Emily and picked her up and hugged Emily tight and turned to Marissa and they hugged too.

Seth was not home at the time

Summer: I'm so happy you both came, come on in, Emily, would you like a drink?

Emily: yes please, I'm thirsty, I want coke

Summer: Yeah, I have orange juice, water, cordial, apple juice which one do you want?

Emily: mmmm I want apple juice

Marissa: Summer, can you look after Emily for a few hours I want to see my mom to let her know

Emily: okay, I will mommy, I love you

Marissa: I love you too (kisses her forehead and hugs her)

Summer and Emily watched Marissa walk over to a cab which is waiting outside of the front house.

Seth come home from work, He walks inside the house and saw Summer and Emily playing dolls together

Seth: Hey,are you Emily? (he has never met her before)

Emily doesn't say a word, she's shy and doesnt know him

Summer: she gets a little shy around new faces, this is my fiance Seth, this is Marissa's daughter Emily

Seth: Hi Emily, nice to meet you, your mommy is lucky to have such a beautiful girl

Emily glared at Seth

Summer: Emily, why dont you go to your room and get changed, I'm taking you shopping to buy some icecream

Emily: yay I love icecream (running up to her spare bedroom)

Seth: cute girl, she looks like some Ryan/some Volchok/some Marissa, I mean she has blonde hair, blue eyes

Summer: SETH, dont talk about Ryan or Volchok in here I dont want Emily to listen okay?

Seth: I'm sorry, (looking around) where is Marissa?

Summer: Marissa's gone to see her mom, I'm going to take Emily to the icecream shop okay I will be back in an hour.

Emily's running back and took Summer's hand to hold

Emily:you ready?

Summer: yeah, lets go for a walk now

Seth watched Summer and Emily walk down the street. he sighed and he wondered if Volchok or Ryan were ever going to see Emily

Neil let Marissa inside the house, she hugged Neil and kissed him on his cheek, then walked to the family room where Julie was

talking on the phone with someone

Marissa: Hey mom

Julie: OMG you are here now

Julie on phone: I have to go now, my daughter is here now, I will talk to you later ok, bye-hang up

Julie rushes to her and gave her a big hug and a kiss on the cheek

Julie: good to have you back Marissa and where is Emily?(looking around)

Marissa: Emily's with Summer um I'm just letting you know that I'm staying here for one week with Emily

Julie: that's great, I wish you brought Emily here, I miss you both so much, I want to see my granddaughter

Marissa: she's kind of tired but you will see her tomorrow mmm I'm wondering if you could mind

she gave one to Emily and started eating the other one

Emily: thank you, aunty Summer (licking the icecream) I like it

Summer: me too

they walked along down the park not far from the shop and Summer sat down on the bench and watched

Emily play with on swing at the playground

Emily look around to find Kev but nowhere was he to be found

Ryan was walking past the park on the his way to his car at the shopping centre's car park when he spotted Summer and called her

Ryan (surprised): Hey Summer, what are you doing here?

Summer: um, I'm watching Emily over there (points to the little girl)

Ryan (look over): oh I see, wearing the red dress?

Summer: yes, that's her

Ryan: she looks like her mommy

Summer: yeah, I know

Ryan: can I sit down and talk to you for a minute?

Summer: sure, you can (he sits down next to her)

Ryan: shes pretty, where's Marissa?

Summer: well, she asked me to look after her for few hours, she's visiting someone

Emily's running up to them and sat on Summer's laps and frowned with a sad face at Ryan

Ryan: Hi Emily, remember me, I talked to you on the phone the other day, I'm Ryan

Emily glared at him

Summer: sorry, she's shy, she doesnt talk to strangers, Emily listen Ryan is my friend (seeing Emily's sad looks)

why are you so sad Emily?

Emily: Kev's not here, I thought he might be here because I was going to ask if he wanted some icecream

Summer (surprised face): I thought you said Kev is in New York

Emily: yes, he is in New York (Summer realised Emily doesnt understand New York and Newport is far away from each other)

Summer: this place is not New York, its Newport, you went on a plane to come here from your place, doesnt mean

Kev is here

Emily: ok,(turned to Ryan) you look like Kev but you dont have a picture on your arms do you?

Ryan (confused): No, I dont have one, who is Kev?

Emily: my friend in New York, I like him, he said he will look after my house and my bedroom, he said my mommy is pretty

but my mommy doesn't believe me she's thinks he's all talk.

Ryan (aware): mmm Is he a talking doll?

Emily: No, he is a real people like us, aunty Summer can I go and play on the swing again for a while please?

Summer (worried):Yes, of course off you go, I will watch you okay,(turned to Ryan)Ryan,Marissa told me Emily is talking

to Kev alot, she thinks Emily has a imaginary friend, Marissa said she hasn't meet Kev yet

Ryan: well, I dont know whether to believe her or not, she said he's real person don't worry about it

Summer: I hope so, I mean I would be scared if there's a real boy in their house?

Ryan: I hope not, yeah but if there was a real boy living in their house for the past couple of day's don't you think Marissa

would have noticed him by now?

Summer: I guess so, yeah

Emily runs back and then sits beside them

Emily: I'm tired, can you take me home now, I miss my mommy

Summer: okay, we have to walk way back home

Emily: No, I dont want to walk, my legs are tired, can I have a piggyback on your back please?

Summer (sighs): okay , you can have a piggyback

Ryan (offers): No, I have my car here and I can take you both home

Summer: No, no I mean...

Emily interrupted her

Emily: Yay, I want to ride home, I dont feel like walking back, Summer please please

Emily makes puppy eyes to Summer

Summer (gives up): allright, how can I say no

Ryan: good lets go

Ryan, Summer and Emily arrived at Summer and Seth's, when they got inside they noticed Marissa was not home yet, then a few minutes later Marissa

arrives by cab and get's out of the cab Emily heard the car and peeked through the window and said "its my mommy", Emily ran out of the front

door and greeted her mommy and Marissa picked her up and then hugged her tight by then Ryan was watching them through the window and he smiled to

himself knowing that Marissa is a good mom to Emily

Once Marissa and Emily entered inside the house

Marissa: did you have a nice time today with aunty Summer?

Emily: it was okay

Marissa: just okay?

Emily shook her head

Marissa (thinking):mmm what if Kev was there? would he make it better?

Emily: yeah, he's a lot of fun

Marissa: fun like how?

Emily: fun like daddy, um do you know Ryan?

Marissa nodded with a surprise face

Emily: he's here, come with me, I'll show you where

Marissa (nervously): okay (following her to the familyroom where Seth, Summer and Ryan were waiting for them)

Marissa looked up at Ryan: Ryan, good to see you again (Ryan came up to her and gave her a hug, she was surprised)

Ryan: you too, you look good (they pulls away and smiled at each other)

Marissa (blush): thanks, (she turned to Seth and hugged him) hey Seth, Summer, how was Emily today?

Summer: Emily was a very good girl today, I gave her an icecream

Emily: yeah, I got a strawberry icecream

Marissa: wow ,you lucky girl

Emily: mommy, Ryan took me and aunty Summer home

Marissa: really? (look down at her daughter's body) your arms and legs are dirty, why dont you go and have a bath now,

I'll go up to be with you in a sec

Emily: do I have to?

Marissa: yes, you have to, off you go (watching Emily running upstairs)

Marissa turned to Ryan: thank you for taking Emily and Summer home, I hope she doesnt give you too much trouble

Ryan: no, she didn't, she didnt want to walk back home, I offered, Emily is a lovely girl, she looks so much like you

Marissa (laughs): thanks (turned and looked up at Summer) Summer, my mom said she could look after Emily tomorrow night

so we can go out together

Summer: great, that's cool

Marissa looked up to Ryan again: sorry I'd love to sit and chat but I have to go and check on Emily, maybe

we should grab a coffee before we go home

Ryan (sounds disappointed): sure (not wanting her go upstairs but he knew Emily was more important but looked on the bright side

and thought)" at least she's going to grab a coffee with me

Marissa: thanks again bye (running upstairs to check on her daughter)

Ryan watched her go upstairs until she disppeared, he smiled to himself...
