I do not own anything Step Up related. I only own Anna.
Look I finally am able to update! Yay! Lol So happy to finally have my new computer so hopefully you will get updates faster and sooner, which is also where your reviews come in. They really motivate me to give you more updates. Now also please keep in mind that I am 8 months prego so some might be spaced out. My plan is to have this done before my baby is born at the end of next month, which I doubt it will take me that long to do this fic. So remember that your reviews are candy to a prego. (:
Happy reading!
Chapter 6
Tonight is Emily's debut with the mob. I know she will do great with them. Today after rehearsal at Windwood we got lunch. She kept going on and on how nervous she is. She doesn't want to let the mob or my brother down. She's also really want to impress Eddy because she knows with him be co-founder of the mob, his opinion matters. I really hope after tonight when he realizes just how good she is, he'll lay off her.
Right now I'm at the batcave doing last minute touches on the costumes. I absolutely loved Emily's dress. I definitely have to make me one like it. After I finished the zipper I went to go see Eddy. I haven't really got to see him since this morning.
I smile as I watch everyone doing some last minute rehearsing.
As I make my way up the steps my hip completely locks up. I almost fall down the stairs but manage sit myself down and start to massage my hip. It has cramped up a couple times but this is the absolute worse. I cringe at the pain while rubbing it and trying to stretch out my leg. After a couple minutes the pain subsides and I look around to make sure no one noticed, thank god no one did. I have some pain meds at home from the first year but never really needed to take them since.
I get up to continue up to Eddy's office with a slight pinch now and then but I ignore the pain. I look at Eddy sitting at his desk and decide that I'm not going to bother him this right now. He's got too much on his plate making sure everything is ready for tonight.
Not knowing that I'm behind him, I snake my arms around him and kiss his neck. He puts his hands on my arms and leans his head back looking at me, "Hey beautiful." I smile as I lean in to kiss him. "Hey love, I figured you could use a little break for a few minutes." He acts like he has to think about it before pulling me around into his lap. My hip gets a small pinch again but I push it off as his lips attack mine.
I'm not sure how long we are like that until the sound of someone clearing their throat breaks us apart.
I look to see who else other than my brother and Emily smirking at us.
"Sorry to break up the love fest but it's time for us to start getting ready," Sean tells us. I look up at the clock and sure enough we have an hour before we have to get to the restaurant. "Anna do you mind helping me with my hair?" Emily asks. I smile at her, "Sure no problem." I give Eddy a quick kiss and skip over to grab Emily's arm. "Please excuse us as we get all dolled up for you boys," I tell them and give them a wink.
I hear them laughing as we make our way my little area.
After I help Emily get ready I get myself dressed. I wanted to look nice as well since we will be at one of Miami's nicest four star restaurants. My dress is strapless and black that flares out at my waist and goes to my knees. Kind of has that salsa look to it, which will be perfect for when we go to Ricky's afterwards. I curl both of our hair and added some red streaks in Emily's hair along with purple in mine.
When we slip on our heels there is a knock on the door. I open it to see Sean. He walks in completely ignoring me and checks out Emily. I smile as he compliments her on how great she looks. I slip out with the box of masks for everyone.
I'm handing them out when I feels a set of arms wrap around my waist. I smile and lean into him as Jason grabs his mask and gives me a wink. I take the last two out for Eddy and Sean and turn around. I feel myself blush as he looks me up and down. He spins me around, "Wow babe, you look amazing." "Thanks." He pulls me into his arms and kisses me. When we pull apart I hand him his mask.
"Where is your brother at?" He asks as he slips it in his jacket pocket. "In my office with Emily." He makes a face causing me to roll my eyes. "Stop it Eddy, she'll do great tonight." "Yeah yeah."
I turn around to see the both of them making their way to us. I hand Sean his mask and remembered that I left Emily's in my office. I hurry up and grab it and head back to them. Her mask is my favorite; it goes with her dress perfectly.
"Ok," Sean gets everyone's attention while clapping his hands together, "Let's get this show on the road."
Everyone starts to cheer as we head to the cars.

When we arrive at Entasis, I walk in with Penelope and take a seat at a corner table to the side where everyone will sit. I will be sitting at her table while she mixes it up.
I watch as everyone gets seated at the long table for everyone, with one table on each side. As soon as Emily walks in I can tell that she's really nervous. Eddy looks back at me giving me a wink when taking his seat. I see him say something to Em as she takes the seat at the head next to him. She shakes her head at whatever sly comment he makes as she takes off her over coat.
Pen pulls out her equipment and sets it up on the table. She waits for the nod from Sean before starting. The mob puts their heads down to put their masks on.
Everyone watches as Emily gets up and starts to walk across the table before she breaks into her dance. As usual everyone is in shock at first and then become totally amazed with the way the mob moves. I feel myself swaying and bobbing to Pen's music, which is amazing by the way. I watch Eddy, who is the only one with a fedora on, it's like his signature hat but I love it on him.
Emily is doing fantastic.
As soon as the music ends and they do their final pose, Pen hurry ups packing her equipment as Eddy takes my hand pulling me towards the exit with everyone else. When we get in the car the excitement is crazy. You can hear everyone cheering from their own cars as we head to Ricky's. I sit in the middle between Eddy and Sean, while Em, Jason, and Pen are in the back.

At Ricky's the celebration is in full swing. Emily heads to the restroom to change while I sit at the bar with Eddy and my brother. Jason walks up to us, "Hey Anna Banana, want to dance. Ricky's mom turned me down," he says pouting. We all start laughing. "It's because you scare her but yes I'll dance with you." I give Eddy a kiss on the cheek and snatch his hat putting it on my head. He tries to glare at me but ends up smirking causing Sean to laugh at him.
While doing some salsa with Jason, I notice Sean not taking his eyes of Em as she dances with Ricky's mom. Jason spins me out and brings me back into him right when the song ends causing another pinch in my hip. "Are you ok?" I look up to notice concern in Jason's eyes. Damn it, I guess the pain showed on my face that time. "Yeah, I'm fine just popped my ankle on that last turn." He nods believing me. What a relief.
I make my way back over to Eddy who is now alone. I sit on the bar stool and he immediately puts an arm around my shoulders. I look up at him to see him not looking down at me but watching Sean and Emily salsa together.
"You know, if I didn't know any better I would think that you had eyes for Emily and are jealous of my brother." That got his attention. "What? Come on babe, you know I only have eyes for you." He tells me as he wraps his arms around me and kisses me. I giggle. "I know you do." He tries to take his hat back but I pull away. "It looks better on me," I say while swatting his hand away. He gives me that sexy smirk that I love, "That it does."
The sound of everyone clapping when the music stopped got our attention. We watch as everyone makes their way towards us. Sean has his arm around Emily as he looks at Eddy, "Come on you have to give it up," he tells him as he points to Emily. She looks nervous as Eddy puts down his beer and stands up. I'm suddenly nervous as well.
It seems like its forever before he finally speaks, nodding his head, "You did good, really good," as he pulls her into a hug. I feel a huge relief is lifted off my chest for the most part. Sean pulls me into a hug as well as everyone celebrates that Emily is officially apart of the mob.
I pull Eddy into me and bring my mouth close to his ear so he can hear me over the cheering. "Thank you." He gives me a wink and hands me a drink as we all toast.
"To our newest mob member," Sean starts, "Emily."
"To Emily!" We all cheer.
I couldn't be happier that Eddy has accepted Emily but the fear of him still finding out who she is scares me. If that time ever comes, hopefully it won't be as bad now that she is one of us…I hope.
Please remember to review!
