Chapter 99: Chapter Ninety Nine

Emma gave her mom a small smile. "Sure, mom. Just a minute" she said. She turned her attention to Daniel once again and tucked her hair behind her ear. He was watching her carefully.

"You heard her. I'm a guest." he said grinning, but the grin faded quickly as he asked. "Unless you don't want me here. I could go if you want, though I really hope you don't want to that. I really want to fix things between us and meet your family. They all seem really nice"

"They are" Emma replied with a small smile. "And you don't have to leave. You’ve come all this way. Besides if you do, they won't stop asking me why and I really don't want to get into that right now... Especially when Isabel and Aunt Jen are around"

Daniel smiled back at her. "Thank you" he said. "How's the baby? Are you sleeping well... Feeling well?"

Emma simply nodded. "Let's go back into the house" she said, and began to walk to the door. Daniel followed closely behind.
