( Recap: Katy and Dominic we're having a get together with Emily, Ryder and Stephan to discuss a plan )

Emily's POV

Emily: how long have you been together
Dominic: 3 years
Emily: I'm glad mum has found someone she can be happy with
Dominic: you can call me dad or Dom whichever you are comfortable with, I know I won't replace your father but I can be another father figure in your life,
Emily: thanks
Dominic: would you like to come to visit your mother and me at our home
Emily: I'm not sure
Dominic: you can bring ryder with you
Ryder: I will be happy to come with you, the decision is yours
Katy: it would be great for you to come to see where I live
Emily: I would love to come to visit but I don't think it is a good idea at the moment especially with my stepmom still out to get me
Ryder: maybe when this is all over we will come over
Dominic: ok that's alright
Emily: do you have any kids
Dominic: no we don't
Katy: I have an announcement to make, I am pregnant
Dominic: * happy * OMG im gonna be a father to 2 wonderful daughters
Katy: im only having 1 girl
Dominic: I'm counting Emily as my daughter too
Emily: thanks
Katy: would you like to hang out with me and Dominic this weekend
Emily: Sure I would love too
Dominic: great
Katy: where is Lexi
Emily: please I don't want to talk about it, just make sure Lexi is alright
Ryder: don't worry Stephan is keeping watch on her
Katy: please tell us
Emily: ok, Lexi got mad I didn't tell her Ryder asked me to be his girlfriend and she said it would be best to go back to my stepmother cause that would do all of you's a favour and I should go to hell
Katy: I'm sure she didn't mean it
Emily: I'm just gonna go for a walk to clear my head,
Ryder: I will come with you
Emily: I just want to be alone
Katy: at least let one of us come with you
Emily: I think Lexi Is right I am just a burden to you all
Ryder: Katy is right I'm sure she didn't mean any of it
Dominic: why don't I come with you, I can get to know you
Emily: yeah sure

Scene: Emily and Dominic left to go on a walk

Dominic: so what was your childhood like before your parents were gone
Emily: we were all one big happy family, we always had family time, but I did notice my dad going out at night even though he thought I was asleep, I always woke up cause he always stood on the noisiest step in our house so I always snuck out to watch him leave, but of course I pushed it aside cause he always came up with a good excuse the next day when mum asked where he went at night
Dominic: I'm sure there is more to that story then that
Emily: even after I found out what happened, I still see him as my dad, is that so wrong
Dominic: no cause no matter what he is still your father
Emily: even though I have you all I still feel alone especially when my best friend who I trusted and cared about said those hurtful things to me and just dump me like I meant nothing to her despite all we have been through
Dominic: I'm sure she had her reasons saying those things, isn't it odd how she has been like a sister to you all those years and then to throw it all away in a little argument
Emily: you might be right cause that day when she said those things it didn't sound like the Lexi I know
Dominic: your stepmom and her goons might have blackmailed her
Emily: OMG why didn't I think of that
Dominic: I think we should head back, it would be good if you could give me a chance at being a father figure for you, I know I Won't replace your real father but I want you to know you are no longer alone you have me and your mother and if there is any problem come to me or your mother
Emily: thanks Dom

Scene: Emily and Dominic just got back to the mansion

Katy: there you both are, what took you so long
Dominic: we just had a good chat and some bonding time
Emily: I'm gonna call Lexi and hopefully she will pickup

Phone call
( authors note: Emily puts the phone on speaker )

Lexi: hello what do you want
Emily: hello Lexi, I'm sorry for not telling you straight away about me and Ryder, I honestly was gonna tell you but Emma beat me to it
Lexi: I already told you I don't want to talk to you or see you ever again
Emily: why are you throwing our friendship away
Lexi: I don't have time for this, I'm looking after my grandma she is sick, never call me again, have a good life, goodbye

End of phone call

Emily: something is not right
Dominic: what makes you say that
Emily: Lexi's grandma died 2 years ago
Katy: maybe she is trying to tell you she is in danger
Emily: the only relatives she has is her mom and her dad
Ryder: maybe she blackmailed Lexi and threatened to hurt her mother
Emily: how are we gonna find that out
Ryder: I will get Stephan to do some digging
Emily: thanks, isn't he with Lexi
Ryder: no need to thank me, actually he isn't, Lexi kicked him out so he is on his way here
Emily: I hope we can save her family from getting hurt
Ryder: none of this is your fault it's your stepmother's fault
Scene: Stephan arrived
Stephan: Hi everyone, I'm back
Dominic: hi Stephan, good to see you again,
Stephan: Hi Dominic
Emily: why did Emily kick you out
Stephan: she said she has had enough of this drama and wants no part of it and she told me to tell you she doesn't want to hear from you ever again and she no longer wants to do the babysitting business, she said you're on your own
Emily: I can't believe I lost my best friend
Ryder: if she is gonna throw away everything it is her loss, not yours, she is not worth getting upset over
Emily: she was still my best friend, she knew what I have been through and I have helped her with her problems to
Katy: sweetie if she was your true best friend then she wouldn't have thrown it away
Emily: I'm just gonna go to bed, goodnight
Ryder: me too, Stephan can you show Dominic the guest bedroom
Katy: Are you sure
Ryder: yes since you are Emily's family we don't mind you staying here
Dominic: thanks Ryder
Ryder: no problem, goodnight
