A/N: Apologies for the delay in updating. I was busy working at the weekend and was really worn out. I'd quickly like to thank Sarcastic-Bones for her help with this chapter. I was a bit stuck for the plot line and she gave me some ideas. I hope you'll all like it. Leave a review to let me know what you thought!

Oops

"Jess, Connor, could I ask a favour?" Emily asked quietly, shooting a furtive glance over her shoulder to make sure Matt and the kids were nowhere in sight.

"Sure," Jess replied cheerfully, spinning her chair at the ADD around. "What can we help you with?"

"I was wondering if you could teach me how to use a computer…"

"Why would you want to know that?" Connor asked, turning to look at her.

"Well, I still haven't bought any Christmas presents yet." Connor shook his head in mock disgust as Emily continued, "I went into town last weekend, but it was just too busy to really get anything done and by the time I came home, I'd only bought a scratching post for Tiddles. I know Matt's ordered his over the internet, so I was hoping to do the same…"

"Of course, Emily! It's Christmas; how could we not help?" Jess exclaimed, already hopping up and turning on one of the laptops at the work spaces in the Hub. Connor and Emily trailed behind her and watched idly as she set about setting Emily up with an account. Once that was done, Jess moved on to connecting to the ARC's wireless network, pausing as a thought struck her. "You've got a credit card, right?"

"Matt and I have a joint account with a card, yes," Emily murmured, fascinatedly watching Jess' fingers touch the keys and type out words whilst she wasn't even looking.

"Cool," Connor muttered in relief. "What about email? Have you got your own email account?"

"No…do I need one?"

"Yep – you don't want Matt to see any confirmation emails – it's fine though, we can easily set one up for you. Just make sure you pay attention to what we're doing," he instructed.

Jess opened up a tab with Hotmail and turned expectantly to Emily. "What do you want your name to be?"

"I have a name," Emily replied.

"No, I know, but you need a different one to make your email address," Jess explained.

"But I already have a name," Emily asserted, afraid of losing her identity entirely. The experience of having to change nearly everything she was to be able to live in the 21st century had affected her more than she had let on. It hadn't just been her title she'd sacrificed. She'd abandoned her past and what should have been her future. She'd lost some of her values and virtues. And then she'd had to change her name again when she married Matt. Emily had changed so much from the young, naïve, newly-wed who had gone to investigate the flickering gold light that she was barely recognisable.

"Actually, Jess, that's a point. We can use Lady Merchant or something…" Connor mused.

"Good idea, Connor," Jess replied, sounding relieved that an argument had been avoided.

Emily concentrated as Jess typed in ladyemerchant in the username box.

"Password…" Connor mumbled.

"How about Robert's date of birth?" Jess suggested.

Emily nodded her approval and watched as Jess input the date 23/02/2013.

"Okay, so that's your email done…now you're all set up to get an Amazon account. I'll just do that for you…" Jess used the email address and password that she'd just created and smiled at Emily as she said, "You're all ready to go. Just type your searches in the search bar and then add stuff to your basket. Then when you've done that, Connor can help you with putting in your bank details."

"Thanks, Jess, you've saved our Christmas."

Jess beamed and practically skipped as she returned to the ADD and ran a quick system diagnostic. Ever since the whole Leek fiasco, a check-up scan was meant to be done every day. Spyware and viruses were unlikely, and so far had been avoided but the checks were essential.

Connor hung about Emily, on hand should she need his assistance, but Emily only had the simplest things to do. Typing and clicking buttons wasn't particularly hard, and she'd seen the ARC staff do it enough times to know what to do anyway.

She put ten items in her basket without thinking much: a temperature gauge for Matt, some animal earmuffs for Robert and Lily's stockings, a few Mr Men books, a Disney film, some USB colour changing lights to plug into Jess' laptop, some Star Wars figurines for Connor, a tie rack for Lester, Hungry Hippos, an AK-47 replica for Becker and tequila filled chocolates for Abby.

Then she trawled through five searches until she was finished.

Connor helped her through the checkout stages, and then she heard the laptop ping as an email arrived in her new account's inbox. Without looking, because she expected it to be a confirmation of her order from Amazon, Emily opened the email and frowned as she saw the word 'Viagra'.

"Jess…Connor…" She called.

They both came over and saw the screen had turned blue and was dominated by a message with numerous incorrect spellings and grammatical mistakes.

"Emily, what did you click?" Connor asked, recognising the symptoms of a virus attacking a laptop.

"The confirmation email…" Emily replied uncertainly.

"What did it say though?" he questioned.

"Something about Viagra."

Connor and Jess both groaned.

"Right first things first," Jess said, immediately taking charge. "Open the command prompt. Pull up Norton Antivirus and run a full scan." In the emergency situation, she had completely forgotten that Emily had no idea what she was talking about.

Connor interrupted Jess, spouting his own ideas for the best way to deal with the virus whilst Emily sat in front of the laptop, motionless. "I hate emails," she whispered to herself.

When Connor and Jess realised that Emily hadn't done anything they'd said, they politely asked her to move from the chair and began fixing the laptop.

Somehow, between the pair of them, though Emily had no idea how, Jess and Connor managed to beat the virus and wipe it off the system without anyone else even hearing a whisper of it.

Matt whistled as he walked through into the Hub to find Jess, Connor and Emily crowded around a computer.

"What's going on?" He asked interestedly.

"Nothing," Jess replied with an easy smile.

Matt nodded and sat down beside Emily. "Oh, do you mind if I use the computer a sec?"

Emily shook her head and watched Connor move away and pause to talk to Lester for a few seconds.

Matt hummed quietly as he searched through the ARC's shared files, frowning as he saw one that had never been there before. He clicked on it and almost had a heart attack.

"Emily? Do you know anything about this?"

She started at the sound of his voice and turned from where she had been staring into space to look at the computer screen. She too froze, her jaw dropping open, only to slam shut seconds later as Lester appeared behind them to tell them to get back to work.

"Mr Anderson! I do not appreciate staff members downloading inappropriate materials during work hours!" He angrily vented. "Not only is porn disgusting, but it is completely unsuitable in the work place!"

"Oops," Emily breathed.
