Sean (to Emma): Babe! Breakfast is made
Emma comes in the kitchen
Emma: it smells good, what did you make?
Sean: I made pancakes and scrambled eggs and vegan bacon
Emma comes up behind Sean and kisses him
Emma: Sounds delish.
Sean makes himself and Emma a plate of food and sit down at the table and enjoy a nice breakfast together.
Sean: I figured I'd wake up a little bit early and make us some breakfast.
Emma: I love it. It's perfect baby.
Sean: What do you have planned today?
Emma: I'm going to call Liberty and Becca to go shopping for their dresses, because we only have 4 weeks until "I Do"
Sean: 4 weeks until the best day of my life
Emma smiles
Emma: It's kind of crazy to think we've been together on and off 12 years.
Sean: It doesn't matter how long we've been on and off, all I care about is that I get to spend forever with you.
Emma: Awe that's so sweet
Sean: Whether we were physically together or not, in my heart we always were.
Emma: Awe. I can't wait to spend forever loving you.
Sean: I can't wait either baby.
They finish breakfast, Emma cleans up
Sean: Babe, I got it.
Emma: I can do it honey. You slaved over the stove all morning
Emma said with a chuckle
Sean: I love you sweetheart. Go get yourself more beautiful.
Emma looks at Sean and Smiles as she goes upstairs to the bathroom to get her make up on. A few minutes later she comes downstairs. Sean looks at her and smiles
Emma: What is it? Do I have something in my teeth?
Sean: No, You look perfect as always.
Emma walks up to Sean and kisses him passionately
Emma: I love you; you know that.
Sean: I love you too beautiful. Now go on, go get your bridesmaids dresses

Sean smiles
Sean: 4 more weeks baby.
Sean kisses Emma as she's leaving to head to the bridal store to meet Liberty and Becca
Emma (To Liberty and Becca): Ready to go shopping?
Liberty: Can I just say that I'm glad you and Sean are finally getting married! I mean it took long enough
Becca: I'm glad you're happy Emma. That's all that matters.
The girls walk in the bridal store
Emma: For the first time in probably forever, I can say I'm truly happy and madly head over heels in love. Never once have I been this in love before, its like the love I've always had for Sean grew 10 times bigger.
Becca: He's your person, your soulmate
Liberty: We'll you guys were childhood sweethearts
Emma: Yes, I know, but it's sort of surreal to think I'm going to be a married woman in 4 weeks
Liberty: What color dresses are you wanting the Bridesmaids in?
Emma: Navy Blue
Becca: I love that color. What are your wedding colors?
Emma: Navy Blue and White
Liberty: Emma, what do you think of this dress?
Liberty pulls a one shoulder mesh skirt bridesmaid dress off the rack and holds it against her
Emma: It's cute but not what I had in mind.
Becca: What about this one?
Becca pulls a halter high neck satin dress off the rack and holds it against her
Emma: No way
Emma pulls a one shoulder cascade Navy Blue Bridesmaid dress off the rack
Emma (to Liberty): Liberty, try this one on.
Emma hands Becca a Navy Blue one shoulder cascade dress
Emma (to Becca): Becca try this one on.
Becca and Liberty go and try on the dress Emma picked out
Becca: This is beautiful
Emma: I love it, what do you think Liberty?
Liberty: I love it!
Liberty goes and changes back into her clothes
Emma: It's settled then, My dress is picked, Manny's dress is picked and now my bridesmaids have their dresses.
Liberty: Well, as one of your oldest friends I am honored to be standing up at your wedding to Sean
Becca: Same here but not as your oldest friend.
Liberty: After all, this is your fairy tale wedding
Emma chuckles as She pulls in Liberty and Becca in for a group hug
Emma: I love you guys.
Liberty: 4 Weeks until your Wedding day.
Emma looks at Liberty and smiles
Becca: Well I have to get going but I will see you ladies a the bridal shower in a couple weeks

Liberty: Are you kidding? I was honored
Emma and Liberty hug as Liberty and Becca leave, Emma leaves right behind them. A week has gone by and Emma and Spike are going for their final dress fittings
Emma (to Spike): I'm glad we didn't need too many adjustments in our dresses, at least in your dress.
Spike: You might not even need any alterations or adjustments on yours honey.
Emma: We'll see
Spike: Even if you did, you'd still have it back in time for the wedding
Spike changes into her clothes while Emma puts her dress on and gets her final fitting.
Emma: Why is it too tight in my stomach now?
Seamstress: It's ok, no big deal sweetheart. We'll just have to take it out a little bit
Spike: Emma, its normal to stress eat before your wedding
Emma: I haven't been stress eating, least I don't think I have
Spike: Could you be pregnant possibly?
Emma looks at Spike slightly worried
Emma: I don't know.
Seamstress: Ok sweetie, just need to take your dress out a couple inches and you'll be all set. I'll have it ready in a few days, you can go change now.
Emma goes into the dressing room, she changes and comes out.
Emma: Mom, what if I am? I don't know how to be a mom! I don't know If I'm ready to be a mom
Spike: Emma, honey relax and take a breath. We will go to the store and get a couple tests
Emma: What if Sean's not ready to be a father? What if he doesn't want kids mom?
Spike: Emma, slow down, take a breath. You're stressing yourself out
Emma cries into her moms arms
Emma: I'm scared mom, what if I am?
Spike: If you are, then I will be there for you, 100% of the way. I raised you on my own and look how well you turned out.
Emma: I love you, thank you Mom.
Spike: It's what moms are for honey.
Spike: Come on, we'll head to the store we'll get a couple tests, and we'll go back to my house where you can take them and see if you're pregnant or not.
They leave the dress shop, go to the store, pick up a couple tests and go back to Spikes place.
Emma: Here goes nothing.
She goes in the bathroom, takes the tests, and comes out of the bathroom, places the test on the counter in front of her and her mom
Spike: Just remember, no matter what the test says, I'll always be by your side
A couple minutes goes by, Emma looks at the tests
Emma: Oh my gosh
Spike: What is it?
Emma: I'm pregnant! You and Snake are going to be grandparents!
Spike: Oh, honey that's wonderful! I'm so happy for you.
Emma: I'm nervous to tell Sean.
Spike: Everything will be ok Em.
Emma: What if he leaves mom? What if he doesn't want to have kids cause of how his childhood was?
Spike: You don't know that honey.
Emma: What if he does though mom? What am I going to do?
Spike: If that happens, you will raise the baby on your own as a single mom like I did. You need to talk to him, Emma.
Spike: You won't know the outcome until you do, and if he really loves you, he'll be there for you and the baby.
Emma: I'll call him in a little bit. I just need to process this first. I've always dreamed of being a mom.
Spike: And you will be an amazing mom at that. You were great with Jack when he was a baby.
Emma calls Sean
Emma (to Spike): He's not answering.
Emma (to Sean's Voicemail): Hey baby, Call me when you get a minute, I got some news I want to share with you, I love you.
Emma hangs up
Spike: He'll call back, don't worry Em
About half an hour goes by and still no word from Sean
Emma: Let me try calling the shop, see if he's there.
Emma calls Tony's shop, no answer
Spike: No answer?
Emma: No, no one's there.
Spike: Maybe he don't have his phone?
Emma: He always has his phone on him, that's what's making me worry
Her phone rings
Emma: Sean?
Manny: No, it's me, Manny. What's wrong?
Emma: I'm probably overreacting. What's up?
Manny: I'll be home in a couple days. Do you have plans next week?
Emma: No, Why?
Manny: Good cause the day after I come home, we have your bridal shower then your bachelorette party.
Emma: You've been planning all of this while you've been out on tour?
Manny: What kind of Maid of Honor would I be if I didn't?
Emma: You are the best ever. How's the tour going?
Manny: Fun but I can't wait to be home.
Emma: Well, I'll be happy you're home, I've missed my best friend.
Manny Smiles
Manny: I'll be home by the end of the week.
Emma: That's awesome! I know Chester will be happy.

Emma: I hate to cut this short but call me tomorrow, I'm at mom's hanging out with her
Manny: Alright. I will.
Emma and Manny hang up
Spike: Emma!
Emma: I want to wait until I tell Sean first before I tell Manny.
Emma's phone rings again
Emma: Hello?
Sean: Hey baby, sorry I took a nap and didn't hear my phone
Emma: I was starting to worry about you.
Sean: I'm ok, what's up honey?
Emma: I was just having a moment and wanted to hear your voice.
Sean: Awe what's wrong babygirl?
Emma: Just frustrated that I have to get my dress taken out a little bit.
Sean: Why are you frustrated about that?
Emma: Because it's super close to the wedding and I have a million more things to worry about on top of worrying about getting my dress back in time.
Sean: Babe, what's really going on?
Emma: What are you talking about?
Sean: You never would freak out about a dress having to be taken out. What's really bothering you?
Spike looks at Emma
Emma (voice breaks): I'm just getting really stressed about the wedding and everything else I still have to do to get ready for the wedding.
Sean: Where you at babygirl?
Emma: Mom's
Sean: Why don't you come home, I'll order some take out, we'll snuggle on the couch, watch a couple movies, and just relax.
Emma: Really?
Sean: Come on home baby. Everything will be ok, I promise.
Emma: Ok. I'll be home in a little bit
Sean: I love you baby.
Emma: I love you too.
She hangs up
Spike: Why didn't you tell him?
Emma: I don't want to tell him over the phone. I'm going to go home and relax with my fiancé. I'll talk to him about it in the morning.
Spike: Alright.
Emma and Spike walk out to Emma's car as she's getting ready to leave
Emma: Thank you for today, mom. You're never too old to realize you still need your mom
Spike (smiles): I love you Honey. Call me if you need me
Emma: I'll call you tomorrow
Emma shuts her car door and leaves
