Thanks Again for the reviews. Oh gosh, I messed up on Rachael's age, so sorry, I actually meant to make Rachael a lot older than Emma, she was supposed to be fifteen. So sorry, I'm working on another story, and mixed up the ages. Lol Anyway, so Rachael IS FIFTEEN, then if she wasn't the whole story would be different. SO SORRY! Please forgive me. And sorry the chapter came a little late, while I was writing, I spilled Coke all over the keyboard. I'm so clumsy. Lol anyway, the keyboard was so sticky, so I had to write slow, and hit some of the letters of the keyboards twice. Also I was stuck on the story for a while. I also had Finals this week, I'm done with it know, thank god. Okay, now here is the story.

Friday. Thank God it's Friday. I was walking around the sky deck, and I spotted Marion. He saw me too, and he smiled at me. I smiled back. I think Zack noticed, because he looked like he seen something so disgusting, oh well. He should be making smoothies anyway. He just walked away. Marion laughed a little, he saw Zack's Reaction too. I walk to him, and he took my hands.

"So Emma, I was thinking about dinner, tonight?"

"I'd love that Marion, where to?

"That's a secret, meet me in the sky deck around nine, okay, trust me. Wear something you can dance with. A dress."

"Okay, so what are we going to do till then?"

"Walk around, if you want to, hold hands, stuff couples do,"

ooh, we're a couple? This is sooo exciting! I can't believe this is happening. Maybe this week won't be so bad after all.

"We're a couple?"

"If you want to, then we are,"

"We are Marion, and I do, with you."

He kissed me, a peck.

He placed his hand on my back, and he guided me the way. All we did was talk.

"What happened to the baby? What was her name?"

"River, her name was River. Rachael named her that because she would joke about putting the baby in a River so she wouldn't come back. I didn't get the joke at all. She didn't want the baby, so she put her in for adoption. My mother agreed, she didn't like the idea of her being a young grandma,"

"Have you thought of contacting her?"

"I did. I wanted to, but I didn't want to tell her that her mother didn't want her because she wasn't supposed to be born in the first place, I couldn't say that she was named River because her mother loved Rivers and thought it was so beautiful, that she HAD to call her child that! I couldn't, I-I just couldn't,"

My voice started to raise. People started to look.

"Emma, it's okay, look, I'll help you find her, and I'll be with you when you tell her everything. I know it won't be easy, Em, but it will help her. Alright?"

I nodded.

"Marion, can we talk about something else? How about your life? I would like to know more about you,"

"Well my life was just simple, nothing to say about it, I basically told you everything you need to know about me,"

"Are you sure?"

"Well, something. How I feel about you,"

My heart is pounding so fast, I think I have butterflies in my stomach, and that's coming from a person who thinks thats corny.

"A-And ho-how do you feel about me?"

My voice sounded shaky,

"Emma, when I first met you, I thought 'Hey, she's interesting,' but when I knew more about you, and took the time to know you, the more my feelings grew for you, and I have never been so happy than I am now,"

I was crying, just a few tears, and he smiled at me. I couldn't say anything, my voice was held back. But he knew. He knew how I felt.

We talked some more, until there was nothing else to talk about.

He lead me to my cabin to get ready for this date, and I kissed him goodbye, well until nine anyway.

I got ready, I had my hair down, I kept it wavy. My makeup looking natural, I don't want to look desperate. A green dress that was up to my knees, I didn't know how much I would love this dress, until I twirled around, it looked so pretty, it sort of looked like I was holding a rose upside down twirling it, and the pedals where loose. I used black heels, comfortable ones of course, and I was set to go.

He stopped me before I could even see the sky deck, Marion told me to close my eyes, so I did.

I felt him grab my hand, to guide me the way. I don't know why he wouldn't let me see the sky deck. Once he told me to open my eyes, I knew why. I gasped, the sky deck didn't look like the sky deck. It was like a romantic restaurant, just for us. It was beautiful, I was near tears. The table was set with our dinner, and a rose in the middle of the table. My favorite was the musicians, already playing a tune, a romantic tune. Marion was looking at me, and I at him.

"Marion, this is so beautiful, oh god, I don't know what to say,"

"you don't have to say anything Emma. Would you like to start eating?"

I nodded, I couldn't say anything, not only did he steal my breath away, but my heart as well.

He took me to our table. Our wine was poured, by our waiter,as soon as we sat down. Zack was our waiter, and I can see he desperately wanted to leave. Marion dismissed him, and he was happy to leave. I guess he asked Zack to be a waiter so we can have a laugh. We both love watching Zack do something he doesn't want to.

We had a toast.

"To our future, and to our new relationship," he said

"I'll toast to that,"

We ate, and talked. That's what we love to do.

We had a few laughs, and sad moments.

"and that's how I got my head stuck in a bucket,"

I laughed so hard, we both were, his story was so funny, I felt like I was going to fall off my chair.

"So Emma, I have something for you,"

I looked at him confused, obviously.

He took out a folded piece of paper, he gave it to me, and I opened it. Before I could read it, he told me what it was.

"I found River, she was adopted. And turns out, she was looking for you too. Well anybody that shares the same blood as her. I talked to her, by email, and sent her a ticket to come on the ship, and meet her."

"wha-you, y-you did what?"

"Was that okay?"

"Yeah, yeah that was okay, I can't believe it, she's really coming here?"

"Yup, in fact, she is coming on Monday,"

"Really! Oh god, what am I going to say, are you going to be with me—,"

"Every minute, Emma,"

I just feel like shouting. My heart just can't stop beating fast.

Minutes later, we danced to a beautiful song.

(I love you truly by Lawrence Welk)

It was instrumental of course, but it was perfect, perfect for a waltz.

"Emma, I know this is so soon, but—well anyway, we have known each other for sometime now, well what I'm trying to say Emma, I love you, I love you more than anything in the world, and the way you make me feel is hard to describe. Every time I see you, my heart beats faster and faster, and when you smile, laugh, even walk, I would thank god that you're here. Now that I have you all to myself, I could almost die of happiness."

"I-I love you too, Marion, and you make me the most happiest woman on earth. You have no idea how long I've waited to be loved, and I to fall in love."

We kissed. He pulled me closer. Seconds later, we started to dance again.

Sadly, the date had to end, and we both looked so upset.

He walked me to my door, and said goodbye. But before he leaves, I decided to kiss him once more. My tongue was in his mouth, and vice versa. I felt his hands around my waist, it felt so right, it made me hold him tighter. I pulled him into my cabin, and we couldn't stop, we fell into the couch, and thankfully, it didn't stop us either. He started kissing my neck, and it felt so good, I couldn't breath. He was on top of me, and his hands where on my hips, and he just kept on going down.

I moaned.

He started to unzip my dress. I felt his hands touch my breasts, and I gasped. I pulled my legs closer to him wrapped them around him, I used an arm to lift myself closer to him and pushed him to couch, I was on top. I started to rip his shirt. He didn't mind though, he had plenty of other shirts. I started going for his pants, he helped me a little, and we finally took them off. He licked my breasts, I moaned. As he was, he did something so unexpected. He sucked on a nipple, and I could just melt.

"Oh,Marion!"

It slipped out, and I could see it in his eyes, he really does not want to stop. And I wanted more.

He saw my desperation for more.

He finally slipped inside me, and I can feel the vibration all over my body.

"Oh god, Oh Marion, don't stop, please—faster!"

"Emma! God, you feel so close,"

"Oh Marion!"

"I feel you now Emma, Oh god!"

He carried me to bed.

We slept. It also felt good to wake up in his arms. Marion's. God I love him, and he loves me too.

We just stayed in bed, cuddling, making out, and...other stuff.

We both decided to watch a movie, it was probably around 3 pm. My legs where on his lap.

"Are you sure you don't want popcorn?"

"Marion, I'm fine with my Twizzlers. But thanks anyway."

I guess I was to distracted from the movie, I had no idea he was watching me play with the Twizzler in my mouth, I was just sucking on it, and without a warning, he just took my Twizzler away.

"Mine now!"

"Marion! Give it back, I sweat, you will—,"

"will what?"

He was just pulling MY twizzler away from me, he is just so Evil! In a cute way.

My body was on top of his, and I was trying to get the twizzler.

"Marion! Give me my Twizzler, It's the freaking last one!"

"Nope, sorry, you have to do better than that,"

I placed my hands on both his cheeks, took him close to my lips, and smashed my lips onto his. I deepened the kiss, to distract him, it worked, and as soon as he used his hand with my twizzler to hold me, I took my twizzler.

"Hey! Cheater!"

"I am not a cheater, I just used my head."

He laughed, that deep, sexy laugh.

The movie was over, not that we actually cared, we were to busy play fighting.

He is just so stubborn, and call me crazy, I love it!

"So are you ready for tomorrow?"

"Oh my god, I forgot, yes of course I'm ready! I didn't even get to thank you though,"

"Oh, you already did,"

He laughed. Hmm, I guess I did.

We decided to walk around the ship, and we decided to go to the place where we had our first real date.

Everything was like a dream. I spend the whole day with Marion.

"So Emma, what do you feel like doing now?"

"I don't know exactly, do you want to get a smoothie?

"I'd love that, my treat,"

"Marion, you already done enough, I think it's my turn to do something for you,"

"You don't need to Emma, being with you is enough,"

"Aw, Marion that was so sweet, but I really think I should buy,"

"Oh I don't think so, I'll pay,"

"well, I think it's my turn, you know, as a woman, I think I should be able to pay for something in a relationship,"

"Oh, but Emma, it's a mans responsibility to pick up the bill,"

"Marion, I may be a woman, but I can at least pay for smoothies,"

"uh, guys hello! What if you both pay for each others smoothie, you know he pays hers, she pays his,"

Zack.

I looked at Marion, and he looked at me. We agreed.

Oh god, today is the day. Monday, which means she's coming. River. Every now and then, I would look at the clock, wondering when she was coming. My students knew I was distracted.

"Um, Ms. Tutweiller are you alright?"

Oh god, please make time go faster.

"Ms. Tutweiller? Hello?"

Do I hear something?

"Huh? Wha-yeah, sorry I was—,"

"Distracted, we know,"

"sorry Bailey, what were you going to tell me?"

"Are you alright?"

I noticed everybody was looking at me. My students looked so confused.

"I'm fine, jus—,"

I heard a knock, It was Marion. He smiled, and as soon as he entered, she came in.

"Emma, this is River, River, this is Emma, your aunt."

My eyes where so watery.

"River?" I tried to say, and she nodded, she was crying.

And we hugged.

Marion told me he had a substitute for today, so I can talk to River.

Marion was right by my side.

"You know you two look alike,"

We laughed.

"So you're my aunt? I think you look a little to young to be might aunt,"

"Yeah, I know, we're five years apart."

"Wow! So um, there's this question I so badly wanted to ask for so long. Why did my mother leave me?"

I didn't want to lie, but at the same time, I didn't want to let her down. There is always a good story for why a mother would give away her child. There's the 'I wasn't to strong to be a good mother, I wanted her to have a better life with parents who were stronger,' or 'I'm a poor woman who won't be able to feed my baby,' instead it's, 'I didn't want the freakin' baby in the first place, it wasn't a plan, I never wanted it, let someone have it,' which were the words she used, the day of the birth.

"River, I'm not going to lie to you, your mother, she was not ready for a baby. The reason why you and I are so close to age, is because, your mother was young when she had you. She was...r-raped."

I held Marion's hand so tight. I was scared.

"I wasn't supposed to be—,"

"River, I'm sorry,"

She started to cry.

I started to cry.

"What happened? How old was she? Did she ever loved me?"

"River, look, I was five when it happened. She was fifteen. Our mother's new boyfriend did it to her. If you want to know if she ever loved you, it's up to you to find her and ask her,"

"How could you bring her here!"

It wasn't river. It was, It was R-Rachael.

"Emma!"

What was she doing here, I don't know. I turned to Marion.

"Marion, did you tell her to come as well? And don't lie to me!"

"No I swear Emma, I would never do that,"

"Then what is she doing here?"

"Who is that?" River said

"Your mother,"

"You know, I came here for a nice vacation, I take a little tour around the ship, and I find you talking to that,"

She pointed to River. River was so lost. She called her a that.

"Wait a minute, SHE, is here because she wanted answers."

"So your my mother?"

"Whoa, wait a minute, I am NOT YOUR MOTHER! I don't know who you think you are, but you don't deserve to know anything!"

"Rachael! She does deserve to know, she wanted to know, so I told her,"

"Did you tell her that it was your fault I was Raped!"

I didn't care people were looking. She didn't care either.

"Wait a minute Rachael, you and I both know that I was five years old when that happened. I wasn't strong then, and you know that!"

"River, I think you should go to your cabin,"

"She's my mother?"

"You wish!"

"Rachael stop it!"

River left. She was crying, and I didn't want her to see her mother like that.

Marion grabbed me by the arm gently, he was telling me to go with him, somewhere else.

"You know for a redheaded demon, you really know how to fool people, don't trust her, that's all I'm saying. This is just the beginning Emma! Just wait!"

I just cried, and Marion held me.

"What am I going to do?"

"Emma, I'm here,"

Rachael. River. Marion. ME...

This was a very interesting experiment for me. I never in my life write a M rated story before. LOL so please don't be mean, like Rachael. Anyway, I hope you liked it. Please review.
