Emily POV:
"Breakfast!" I yell up the stairs to my old bedroom.
Yes. We all slept together in my old bed. Horrible idea. I ended up with a foot in my mouth every hour.
All of the kids run down the stairs to the kitchen. Except for Eli. He's already in the kitchen with me.
They all get a seat at the table as I give each of them their plate.
"Thank you." Emerson says.
"You're welcome, baby." I say, and take a sip of my water.
After we're done eating, I turn on some music to dance to. Since there's nothing for a kid to do.
I turn on Shake It Off by Taylor Swift.
We all start dancing together as we laugh and joke around.
Alison POV:
I drove to Emily's old house to see the kids.
When I walk in I hear music playing from the kitchen.
I look in curiously and see Emily and the kids all dancing. Emily spins around without noticing me, and turns back to the kids.
All of the kids dance around her laughing as I watch them in awe.
The song ends, and another songs comes on.
Emily starts singing along with the song.
And then you say
I want you for
Worse or for better
I hold in my laughter as she continues to sing.
Broke your heart
I'll put it back together
I would wait
Forever and ever
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl
I think about the lyrics carefully as I listen to the song.
Emily continues to sing as I think.
Remind how it used to be
Pictures in frames
Of kisses on cheeks
And say you want me
And then you say
I want you
For worse or for better
I would wait forever and ever
Broke your heart
I'll put it back together
I want you forever and ever
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl
Then I get an idea.
And that's how it works
That's how you got the girl
I quickly but quietly exit the house, and get back in my car.
I drive back to our house, and grab a bunch of pictures of Emily and me.
I put them all on a small board and get back in the car.
I drive back to the Fields' house, and go inside.
"Hello?" I call out.
I hear rustling up stairs, and go up.
I hear Levi's little laugh, and I open the door.
I see them all watching The Lion King, squished together on Emily's old bed.
"Hey." I say.
I look at Brighton and she looks back at me.
"Hey." Emily whispers.
I see Eli snuggled up into her side sleeping.
I walk over, grabbing the remote, and pause the movie.
"Ugh!" Brighton groans.
"You hush, little lady." I speak.
I grab the small board and open it up.
It's a bunch of pictures of us.
Kissing, making funny faces, laughing, joking around, being happy, being a couple.
On it, it reads: "Pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks."
"I want you for worse or for better." I tell her.
I see her trying to hide her smile as she stares at the board.
"I can see your smile." I say in a matter-of-factly tone as I chuckle.
She carefully comes over to me.
"Just tell me why." She whispers.
"I was drunk. He was just a friend."
"What happened?"
"We went to his apartment and we were laughing, and kissed. I told him I was tired, and we went to sleep. I didn't have my car, and I was too drunk to drive. Or think of calling a cab."
"What if you weren't tired? What would've happened then?" She asks as her voice cracks.
"I wasn't really tired. I was just stupid." I tell her.
"I was thinking of you. I love you too much to do that to you." I whisper.
She smiles, and cups my face in her hands.
"I want you for worse or for better." She whispers, and kisses me passionately.
Oh, how I've missed her lips.
"Yay!" I hear Brighton exclaim.
I pull away and turn to Brighton and see her clapping.
"If you..." She begins, and pauses as she laughs.
That laugh I'm so in love with.
"If you were a fruit," she continues, still laughing. "You would be a...Fine apple." She finishes, and throws her head back as she laughs.
I raise an eyebrow as I laugh along with her.
"Guess what..." She trails off with an adorable little smile.
"What?" I ask her.
"There will only be 7 planets once I destroy Uranus." She squeaks out as she erupts with laughter.
"Get it? Because I-" She begins, but I cut her off.
"Yeah, I got it, Emily." I tell her and laugh.
"I love you." She whispers.
"I love you too."
