"So this happened before you and I happened?" Spinner asked.

Emma nodded her head slowly. She hated doing this to Spinner. He'd been nothing but wonderful to her and she'd gone and ruined it all. If she'd never put her hands on Jay none of this would be happening, and maybe Spinner and Emma would have worked out. Too late for that now. Even if Emma hadn't been pregnant, the chances of her being able to move on to another relationship with feelings for Jay still fresh on her mind...

"I am so sorry. If I had any idea that I was... I would never have gotten involved with you."

Spinner felt sad. He was sure that Emma was about to become the next great love of his life. Better than Paige, better than Darcy. That's how hard he'd fallen for the slender blond. But now that was all ending. She was having someone else's baby and he was out the door.

"I don't expect anything," Emma whispered. "And I'll completely understand if you want to get as far away from me as you can."

Spinner took her hand. "How about a friend? Could we at least be friends? I mean, I don't think we can be much more than that, but you can always use a friend in a time like this. What do you say?" he asked.

She smiled. "I say yes. And I also say thank you. I was worried about your reaction."

"I'm a little upset. But I'm more worried for you. Are you sure you can do this all by yourself? I can talk to the guy if you want," Spinner volunteered.

Why did everyone want to pummel Jay? Because they think he abandoned you at a time when you needed him most. You should just be honest with people. It was your choice to push him away. You're alone because you want to be.

"No thanks. I think it's best if he stays out of this. Besides, I'm getting more and more friends everyday who are offering to help me out with stuff. The baby will never know he or she is lacking anything."

Spinner smiled at Emma. "So tell me what I can do to help?"

Emma sighed. There was something she wanted to ask Spinner for, but she wasn't sure he'd be willing to give it to her. "I signed up for prenatal classes and I need a partner. I know this is asking a lot, but if you'd be okay with it, I'd love to have you as my partner. Just as friends. This doesn't mean that you have to be in the delivery room or anything like that. My mom is going to be there for that. I just need someone to sit beside me at the classes so I don't feel too out of place amidst all of the married, stable women."

Spinner scratched his head. A ride to the doctor's office, he could do. Shopping for a crib, he could do. A partner for prenatal? He wasn't sure. But how could he say no to Emma. Besides, if he still wanted to pursue a relationship with her somewhere down the road, this little favour could be cashed in later on. He felt honoured and a little optimistic knowing that Emma was still depending on him to be there for her, and not pushing him away.

"Just call me coach," Spinner laughed.
