E. Emotionally

"Noooo!"

There was so much blood, I ran to her stiff body, now on the floor, and cried. I lifted her body, and tried to call her name, although, I already knew it. The color, Red, it was everywhere, I was so angry with myself.

She was gone.

"Rachael please, come back, I forgive you, Rachael! Please come back!"

"Mother, no!"

I heard screams from random people. Zack, Cody, London, Woody, and Bailey had to see this. They had to see me crying, they had to see me calling my dead sister's name. They had to see Rachael kill herself.

Rachael.

River, had lost, gained, and lost her mother again.

She was just in front of Rachael's body.

There was so much blood on me. Her heart, was not beating, and I held her. Held her like a baby. My sister is now gone.

River was on her knees, and she was pale. Her eyes were wide, and her mouth was wide open. She blames herself. I blame myself.

"It's all my fault. It's my gun. She used MY gun, it's my fault,"

"River, it's n-not your fault,"

Marion came as soon as he heard the gun shot. He prayed for it to be something else, anything but a dead body.

He didn't pray hard enough.

I was still by Rachael's side. I held her hand, so stiff and cold...

"I'm sorry for your loss,"

I nodded. I couldn't say a word without losing it. Marion was by my side, as people were passing by her casket . Some of my students came to the funeral. My mother was not even here. Ever since her brother died, my mother never wanted to go to any funeral. Although, my Uncle died when I was two, I feel like I knew him. Now Rachael and Uncle Howard are together, probably laughing about the good old times. Stuff that I can't remember.

"Emma, would you like to sit down."

Marion. I am so glad Marion is with me. What would I do without him, I don't want to know.

"Mrs. T, I'm so sorry. Are you alright?"

Bailey.

"It's ok, there's nothing to be sorry about."

I had to give a speech, and I was so nervous about this, I was feeling so empty.

I was in front the podium, and I saw everybody. Their sad faces, with their black uniforms.

"I-I loved my sister, Rachael. Even though she despised me, I still loved her. Rachael and I were best friends, when we were little. Before she hated me, she once told me, 'Em, you know, when you were still in mommy's stomach, I would always pray for a baby sister, and I got my wish. I just want you to know that your the best sister. ' I believed it. And I smiled at her and she carried me to her room to play tea parties and such."

I paused for a second,

"the last words she said, never left my mind. She said she loved me, and she forgave me. She chose those words, and I feel special for that. The last thought in her mind was regret. What ever she did to any of you's, she regret's, but no matter what, she will always be in our hearts. Whether she hated us, or never spoke to us, or physically gone. She will always be in our hearts. Thank you."

I stepped down, and sat down next to my husband, and I rested my head on his shoulder. I was a month pregnant. I wasn't showing, mostly because I'm only month.

I placed my hand on my stomach, I couldn't even be happy for myself, Rachael was gone. I could have stopped her, but I didn't for the sake of the baby. Marion.

"Are you hungry, Em? There are snacks in the counter, how about something to drink?"

"I have a craving for something salty. I'd also like some water,"

"I'll be right back,"

We shared a small kiss before he left.

"Emma?"

I turned to the voice that spoke my name, it was River.

"River,"

"Hi Em, how is the baby?"

"I'm only a month River, Marion is worried though. I shouldn't be down much since the baby is barely developed. Something can go wrong, and I can't let him down."

"Emma, I have salty chips, and your water,"

"Thanks Marion,"

"So River, where are you headed?"

"Oh, somewhere, In Ohio, very little things happen, so I was thinking of staying a little longer, if that's alright with you, Emma?"

"It's perfect, I would love for you to stay longer,"

River was a strong woman, and she told me a little bit about herself, sadly she hasn't found 'the one' but she was interested in many things, she studied many things in high school, traveled during her free time. So it wasn't her first time stepping into Paris.

She was 29, and she was surprisingly proud of it.

The funeral ended around six. It was time to say goodbye, and then into the ground she goes.

I said goodbye to my sister.

"Emma, you know what I said right?"

"You'll be by my side,"

"Yes, no matter what,"

"Thank you Marion. I love you,"

"I love you too Emma,"

4 Months later...

"Well the baby is healthy, your doing a wonderful job, Mrs. Moseby,"

"well, my husband has been taking care of me. Whatever I need, he makes sure I have it. Isn't that right Marion,"

Marion blushed. I love him so much.

"So all you have to do is do what your doing, make sure you have rest, and eat healthy. Okay,"

"Yes Dr. Randall, thank you so much, I'll make sure of that."

"Yes, because even though your barely showing, the baby is still in there, like father like baby,"

I Laughed, yeah I was thinking the same thing. I was five months pregnant, and when people ask me how far along I am, they can't believe I'm six months. Marion. To bad the symptoms show. I feel bad for Marion, I know I give him a hard time sometimes, but in a way, it's sort of his fault. He just couldn't keep his hands off me. Oh the price he pays.

I giggled silently.

"So have you thought of a name?"

"Well, we sort of thought a name will pop out when she does,"

The Doctor laughed,

"Yeah I thought so,"

"Is that it doc?"

"Yes, I guess we're done here, you know the way out."

We walked to the sky deck. I wanted a smoothie, well so does the baby, but mostly me. Even though the place sometimes gives me flashbacks of Rachael's last time on earth, I am now over that.

"Ouch!"

"Are you alright Emma?"

"Yeah, I just felt the baby kick, that one sort of hurt a little,"

"Do want to go back to Dr. Randall?"

"No, the baby's just teasing, that's all,"

"So, What'll it be, folks,"

"Zack, I'll have the strawberry kiwi,"

"And I'll have the same,"

"coming right up,"

"So Emma, while we're waiting, do you want to talk about the baby's room?"

"Maybe,"

"Maybe? Why maybe?"

"Cuz maybe I don't, and maybe I do,"

"Really, ad why is that?"

I shrugged.

"I think it's a little to early don't you think?"

"Nonsense, I think it's the perfect time,"

"How do you know,"

"Are you questioning me?"

I tapped on his head, pretending to be nothing in there,

"Hello, is anybody in there? Duh, yes I'm questioning you,"

He laughed.

"Okay, you smoothies are ready, now who's paying,"

"I will," We said simultaneously

"Em, sweety, I think I should pay, it's my turn,

"Ha! You know Marion, I think I can pay for a couple of smoothies don't you think?"

"Oh, no not this again, just pay for the other's smoothie please,"

We laughed.

"alright, fine, Emma, I'll pay for yours, and you'll pay for mine."

"As long as I get my smoothie, then I'm fine with it."

"Good,"

"Hmm, you know I feel like eating ice cream,"

"please don't eat It with pickles."

"oh, that's a good idea!"

"Noooo!"

I laughed. I love messing with him

"I'm kidding,"

"Thank god!"

"Wait, I wasn't kidding about the ice cream,"

I finally ate my Ice cream, and took a little nap.

"Emma? Where are you?"

Emma and Rachael were playing hide and seek, even though Rachael knew where Emma was, she pretended to not know.

"Boo! Ha, I win!"

"Man, your good. If only I was as good as you,"

"Ray, when is mommy coming home?"

"I don't know, why? Are you hungry?"

Emma nodded.

"Ok, do you want a sandwich?"

"Yeah!"

"Ok,"

"Can I have Peanut butter and Jelly,"

"Oh, I like peanut butter and Jelly too, you want to help me?"

"Ok,"

"Emma? Wake up Em,"

"Hmm?"

"I can't believe your still sleeping,"

I opened my tired eyes,

"how long have I been sleeping?"

"An hour,"

"Why didn't you wake me up,"

"You looked so peaceful, I didn't want to wake you."

"I think it was the dream I had, It was about Rachael. When I was four, we used to play hide and seek, and she would also make me a sandwich whenever I was hungry,"

"Do you want one,"

"No, right now I want Marion,"

"Hm, I don't think he's here right now, but I'm here."

I Laughed

"ugh, well then you'll do, I guess,"

"Right,"

I started kissing him. What those teens, call it, Making out. Then I felt the baby kick,

"Marion, she kicked, here feel it,"

I placed his hand on my stomach, and he smiled.

"She?"

"Well, since we wanted it to be a surprise, I don't want to end up calling 'it' so I either go with he, or she."

The phone rang, and Marion went to answer it,

"What! Oh god, I'll be right there,"

"What's wrong?"

"Zack was bitten by a snake, and they want me over there for some reason,"

"snake?"

"Yeah, I don't know how that happened but I need to get there fast,"

"alright,"

"call me if you need me, but in case you see a snake, call me as soon as you can. Promise?"

"Promise, be careful Marion,"

"I will. Care to give me a goodbye kiss,"

"Yes,"

I kissed him goodbye.

Oh that Zack, wonder how that happened. I wonder why they needed Marion.

When he came back, he did not look to happy.

"What happened?"

"You don't want to know, oh, by the way, you may not want to kiss me for at least a week. I have to boil my lips."

"You had to suck the poison didn't you,"

"Yeah, and you don't want to know where,"

"Yeah, I think your right, I don't want to know."

I laughed. But I have an idea.

Marion for some reason was called out in the sky deck. Said they had a snaky situation. What kind of a metaphor is that?

I decided to go to the sky deck, Marion was gone for an hour, and I wanted to know what the situation was. I heard a couple of people talking about Marion. He saved the ship from snakes? So it wasn't a metaphor.

"Zack, do you you know where Marion went?"

"The Aqua Lounge, I think."

"Thanks,"

"Oh, can you please give this thank you card to him please,"

"Sure,"

Aqua Lounge-

I spotted him, sitting down. The piano.

I noticed the Aqua Lounge was empty.

"Hello Marion, whatcha doin?"

"I was just playing a tune, want to play with me?"

"Sure, which one?"

"You choose for us,"

I didn't say anything, just started playing, and he recognized the song.

"Kiss the Rain it is,"

He said, and started playing with me.

We just played the whole four minute and twenty-two second song, and we just smiled.

After that, we decided to call it off, I gave him the thank you card to Marion, and he laughed.

"I just had the memory off of my head,"

"Sorry,"

"It's ok, I guess."

"You know, I feel like eating fish,"

"How about we go home, and I'll cook you the best fish there ever was,"

"Sounds good to me."

While I was sleeping, for some reason, Marion, and our new couch were both gone. So I decided to walk around, and spotted my Seniors laughing,

"Hey what are you guys looking at?"

What the hell!

"Marion!"

"Emma!" He yelled, from the sky, oh god.

"How dare you, I finally get a husband, and you send him into the stratosphere!"

My poor Marion! How am I going to get him down from there.

About minutes later...

"Don't worry Marion, the Tipton helicopter is on the way to rescue you, right after it stops of at schmankmann's delly to pick up Mr. Tipton's lunch,"

"well they better hurry! It looks like there's a storm coming in! Ahh!"

"Hello? Marion? Oh, darn drop calls!"

"Mrs. M? Don't worry about Mr. Moseby, he's a tough guy,"

"Don't think you'll get away with this Zack,"

"I know,"

All I could do was wait for the helicopter.

While I was teaching, Bailey is somehow into this Prom Queen thing and she decided to put her poster on the Chicago map.

'Wonder how that got there,' she said

and of course this whole thing turned into a London insult.

"I'm Baack!"

Marion. What the hell happened to him. I don't want to know. His clothes were ripped and dirty.

Everyone laughed. Of course.

"Quiet,"

Oh boy, I never seen him this mad before.

"Marion, what happened?"

"You don't want too know, but you will know is, PROM IS CANCELED!"

"What!"

"Marion, don't you think your going a little to hard on them, I mean, can't you just give out detention?"

"I'm sorry Emma, but I won't change my mind,"

and then he left marching off with his ruined clothes.

Then all this ended up with us having a secret prom, and I don't know how this will end. I just hope we get away with this.

"aw, Mrs. M, you look so cute in that dress?"

"Thanks Bailey, I love your dress,"

"Thanks,"

I guess it's my little stomach that they love to see. Thank god this purple dress fits me, even though it's a bit tight on my belly.

Through the dance, I was just going side to side, and caressing my baby, and then Zack yelled 'code Moseby, Code Moseby. I had to run the black board and switch it from party, to school work.

The door opened, and it was Marion. Obviously.

I smiled a very innocent smile, and said,

"Hello Marion,"

"Emma,"

"wow, this is very interesting, I heard you's are all studying,"

Oh, god, the globe, it's still kool-aid opened!

Woody, I tried to signal him, waving my hands towards the globe, I didn't notice Marion turning around.

"Marion, love the cut tie look, makes you look dangerous,"

I added the tiger roar. Nice save.

He was heading to the door, but before he left he turned around to me,

"Emma, make sure you sit for a while, the doctor said to rest, for the sake of the baby,"

"Marion, I'm fine, I'll sit when I'm tired. I promise."

"alright,"

and finally left.

After that, the kids were having a good time. Then all the lights turned, and I saw Marion, so I hid behind the kids, I tried to bend my knees a little, but the baby didn't let me. So I covered my eyes with my hand.

"And Emma!"

The kids stepped aside, and I still with my hands covering my eyes.

"Oh, if only I knew where Emma went. Emma, just because you can't see me, doesn't mean I can't see you,"

"I tried,"

"What is all this?"

"A p-prom,"

I rubbed my belly, reminding him of my baby, and smile innocently.

"Well, prom is over!"

Everyone was leaving, then all of a sudden, Zack was announcing the King, before Marion would stop him, he said the prom king was Marion.

"What!"

"Wait so who's prom queen?" Bailey raced to the voting box,

"but why?"

"Well we heard you never had a prom, so we decided to vote for you,"

"So who's prom queen?"

"Well in a surprising twist, it's Ms. Tutweiller, I mean Mrs. M."

"Yes! Aw you guys,"

Ahhhhhhhh! I'm prom queen!

We had our king and queen dance.

"So Emma, do you have something to tell me,"

"Fine, I'm the one who ate the last cookie from the cookie jar,"

"Emma,"

"Ok, I;m sorry I planned the prom when you specifically said not to,"

"It's ok Emma, I'd probably do the same,"

"Yeah I know,"

"So are you ready to go home, I can see your tired,"

I nodded.

"So did you talk to River?"

"Yeah, she's happy in New York. She said she'll be here when the baby comes,"

"Oh, that's good,"

"Yeah, she told me she met a guy, and she told me about her plan, a double date,"

"Sounds good to me,"

Sorry I took so long. Anyway, next there will be graduation, and the baby. And we'll also get to meet River's new boyfriend. The question is, what does he think of Emma? That's a clue. So the next chapter will probably be the last. Who knows, there will probably be a part 2. Lol thanks for the Reviews! :)
