It's Sunday morning and Laura has spent the last night packing up her apartment. Her lease is up today and she is moving in with Casey and Kelly. Kelly is crashing with them as Casey lives in a big 4 bedroom house. Enough for Emma, him and Kelly. Laura has packed up the last of her things. She loads up her car, says goodbye to her apartment and heads off. When she arrives Casey isn't home. She finds a note from him
*The note*
Kelly had a crisis, took Emma with me. Feel free to unpack your things. I left you a chest of drawers open in my room.
Love Casey x
*Present day*
Laura places down her bags and takes a look around. She comes across a picture of Dawson holding Emma when she was only smallLaura smiles at the picture before moving onto the kitchen. She looks round the rest of the house. She walks upstairs and into Casey's bedroom. She unpacks her things into different drawers and then goes to look for Emma's room. She walks into Emma's room which is covered in pink. She has a lovely pink bed with vanity units. Her bed is decked out in teddy bears. Laura eyes are drawn to the picture sitting on her desk
Laura sighs and picks up the photo. A note is lying next to the photo which is also framed
*The note*
Mommy loves you so much sweetheart. I promise I'll be back one day to see you grow up. I'm sure daddy's taking great care of you
Love mommy
*Present day*
Laura puts the picture back down when she hears the door open
"Miss Russell!" Emma says as she runs to Laura
"You can call me Laura when we're not in school honey" Laura says as Emma's smile fades
"I'm okay" Emma says as she runs off
"I'm sure she'll come around" Casey says as he pulls Laura in for a hug
"Hopefully" Laura replies as she gives Casey a kiss
The night goes by and Casey makes them dinner. She sits at the table and Emma refuses to look at her
"You okay miss Emma?" Laura asks
But Emma doesn't respond
"Emma? Honey?" Casey asks
"I'm fine dad" Emma replies
Laura shoots Casey a look and they get on with the rest of their dinner. It's later that night and Emma has gone to bed. Casey is sitting on the couch with Laura in his arms
"She'll come around" Casey says as Laura looks up to him
"She said she doesn't want a new mom" Laura says
"She knows your not trying to fill that spot" Casey adds
"I don't want to force myself into her life if she doesn't want me in it" Laura says
"Your her drama teacher Laura. She has to deal with it" Casey says smiling
"Yeah I know" Laura says as Casey gives her a kiss
