Chapter 25
Emma's at school, setting up her classroom for when school resumes from holiday break when she hears a knock on the door. She sees a tall buff blonde hair gentleman standing in her classroom doorway
Nick: I'm looking for a Ms. Nelson?
Emma: It's actually Mrs. Cameron now, but that's me
Nick: Oh, sorry. The office told me-
Emma (chuckles): it's ok, no big deal. What can I help you with?
Nick: I guess, I'll be observing and taking over your class for your maternity leave
Emma: Oh, awesome. I didn't expect them to give me one so soon
Emma laughs
Nick: So, what can I help with?
Emma gives Nick a stack of decorations
Emma: You can put these up around the board. I'm going to go down and talk to the office about my last name
Emma leaves Nick to hang up decorations while she walks down to the office
Emma: Darryl, You do know I got married over the summer, right?
Armstrong: Yea, why?
Emma: My sub whose observing me before I go on maternity, called me Ms. Nelson.
Armstrong: I filed your name change, Emma and I sent it over to HR and the records department. I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding. I'll look into it.
Emma: Thanks Darryl
Emma walks back to her classroom
Nick: Everything ok?
Emma: Yea, I wanted to follow up about my name change
Nick: So, how many students are you expecting this year?
Emma: Um, I think maybe 20-25.
Sean: There's my beautiful wife
Emma turns around to see Sean standing in the door way
Emma: Hey, baby
Emma kisses Sean
Sean: Hey gorgeous, I thought I'd stop by and see how your classroom is coming
Emma: Sean, this is Nick.
Nick shakes Sean's hand
Emma: He's going to be observing me for the next couple months until I go on maternity leave, then he's taking over my class.
Sean (to Nick): Hey man.
Nick: Hey, how's it going?
Sean (to Emma): You need any help with anything, baby?
Emma: I think I'm ok babe. I'll see you at home tonight?
Sean: Call me when you leave, I'll put dinner on
Sean kisses Emma as he walks out the door to leave
Emma turns around and smiles big
Nick: How long have you been married?
Emma: 5 months
Nick: Oh wow. You guys look like you have a lot of chemistry together. Not that I was trying to pry or anything.
Emma (chuckles): We were childhood sweethearts
Nick: Well, I can honestly say, happiness looks very good on you Mrs. Cameron, after just meeting you.
Emma smiles as she places her hand on her stomach
Emma: Took me 16 years, but I finally got my fairytale dream.
Nick: When are you due?
Emma: April. It's a girl
Nick: Awe, Congratulations.
Emma (smiles): Thank you
Nick: What's your husband do?
Emma: He owns a body & mechanic shop, Tony's.
Nick: Oh, nice.
Emma: He's been working there since we were in High School, before he left for the military.
Nick: Oh, he served?
Emma: Yea, Army. He was gone for 6 years, he left our senior year.
Nick: Oh wow, kudos to him.
Emma: When he came back, he went to his old boss; the original owner, Tony and asked for a job. About a year ago, His boss decided to give him the shop, because he wanted to retire
Nick: Wow. He must be a hell of a mechanic
Emma (smiles): I love Tony, he was always so nice to me, when I would go visit Sean at the shop.
Nick: That's always nice.
Emma: Sean and Tony have always been close, he trusts Sean more than employees he's had for 5+ years.
Nick: Well that's good
Emma grabs a posters and takes them over to the cork board and hangs them up
Emma: Tony waited until after our wedding to step down and retire
Nick walks over to Emma's desk and sees the Picture frame of Her and Sean on their wedding day
Nick: Looks like you two had a beautiful wedding
Emma (smiles): Yea, we did.
Emma hangs up the poster and stands back
Nick: I think it looks good.
Emma: So, what about you? What's your story?
Nick: Well, I definitely don't have a childhood sweetheart
Nick chuckles
Nick: But I just finished my Teaching Degree at Toronto U.
Emma: Oh, nice
Nick: I'm engaged myself. I've been with my fiancée for 5 years now.
Nick pulls out his phone and shows Emma a picture of him and his fiancée
Emma: Nice looking couple
Nick: We're hoping to get married in the next year or 2.
Emma: It's a great feeling, finding the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. If you would've asked me, 16 years ago if Sean and I were going to end up married, I probably would've laughed.
Nick: Love is definitely amazing.
Nick said with a smile
Emma: I think I'm ready to head home, So I will see you tomorrow, Mr. Brady.
Nick (smiles): Have a good night Emma
Nick leaves. Emma puts a few things away then heads out herself. She calls Sean on the way home.
Sean: Hey baby
Emma: Hey Handsome, what are you doing?
Sean: I'm just sitting on the couch, watching some tv. Are you on your way home?
Emma: Just left Degrassi.
Sean: Ok, I'll put dinner on honey. I got some of Rose's nursery together.
Emma: Did you? What did you get done?
Sean: I painted, I got the crib in there, I just got to put it together and mattress for her crib
Emma: Sean, I would've helped you with some of that
Sean: Emma, your 6 months Pregnant, I don't want you to lift anything big, babe.
Emma: Honey, I could've gotten the mattress or helped paint, babe. You worked all day. I didn't know you were going to work on the baby's room when you got home, I would've told you to wait till I got home.
Sean: Emma, relax, it's ok. I love you; I'll see you in a little bit
Emma: I love you too baby
Emma hangs up. A short time later, she arrives home. She walks in the door to see a candlelit dinner set at the table
Emma: Sean?
Sean: Surprise sweetheart
Emma: Baby, this looks amazing.
Emma said as she kisses Sean
Sean: I figured I'd surprise you tonight.
Emma (smiles): And you did.
Sean: Come on, let's eat before it gets cold
They sit down and enjoy dinner together
Emma: I swear I have the best husband
Sean smiles big as he places his hand out on the side of the table while Emma places her hand in his
Sean: We haven't done many romantic nights in together since we got married, I wanted to do something nice for us
Emma: Aw, that's so sweet
Emma takes a bite from her dinner
