"So where are we going, Carter," Emma asks as we walk down the main street. It's beautiful outside, I've never been to New York before so it's nice seeing everything for the first time other than just in pictures.

"You never did like surprises Em," I say smiling at the fact that I called her by her nickname.

"And you know that so seriously where are we going," she asks again as the corners of her mouth curve up when I called her by her old nickname.

"You will see very soon," I say grabbing her hand again making us walk a little faster, she laughs at this.

"My god I missed your laugh," I say to her.

She blushes like she use to always do and then looks at the ground, which is cute. She really hasn't changed at all.

We finally make it to the restaurant I picked out after looking at a lot of reviews, when we walk up to the restaurant I go ahead and open the door for Emma which gets me a soft thank you out of her.

When we head in I go over to the woman behind the counter and ask for a table for two. She looks up at me and starts asking me if I would like a booth or table and lightly starts flirting with me before grabbing the menus and utensils. 

"Alright you can follow me," she says lightly still looking me up and down. 

We follow both her to the booth and sit down.

"Hi I'm Danielle your waitress what can I start you off with," she asks only looking at me.

"Well she will have water with lemon and I will have a coke please,"

She finally looks at Emma and gives her the death stare when I notice this I go ahead and grab Emma's hand.

This makes Danielle look at our intertwined hands this makes her scoff and roll her eyes.

"Sure thing I will go get that for you," she says annoyed.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted her to stop," I explain to Emma releasing her hand. 

"My god that was so funny she was upset," Emma says laughing covering her mouth with the back of her hand. I start to laugh with her because it was pretty funny. After both of our laughter dies down I finally go ahead and bite the bullet. 

"So where should we start," I finally go to ask.

"I guess we should start with how Charlotte came to be," she says smiling a little.

"Okay,"

"I know explained some of it in the letter but I'm just going to explain it in more detail now, it was a night of the going away party you threw for me, and given that it was the last night we were spending together, we both drank a lot,"

"Yeah, I remember that the only reason I drank was because the thought of you leaving was killing me inside I guess I just need something to take my mind off of the thought," I respond with remembering all of my feelings that night.

"Oh,"

"Please continue," I say wanted to know everything that happened.

"Well sometime during the night you said that you had a gift for me and wanted to give to me, but is was pretty loud because of the party so you decided to take me upstairs to your room," she explains as her hand goes up to her neck as pulls the necklace out, rubbing it between her fingers. She stills wears it, I can't belive after all of these years she still wears it. I smile as I reach out ad put my hand over hers. It's funny how life can pull someone out of it and pull them right back in.

"After I open the gift and told how much I love it and I still do, you kissed me and I kissed you back," she says pushing some of her hair out of her face.

Just then our waitress comes back to our table with our drinks and takes our order.

"Continue please," I say to her.

She takes a sip of her water before continuing with what happened that night between us.

"I think you can guess what happened next," she says looking at the table as a redish tint appears on her cheeks.

"Was it good at least," I ask  lightly smirking at her .

"CARTER," she responds with smacking my arm.

"Sorry I just had to ask," I say through my laugher.

"Wait but when I woke up you were in the guest room," I ask.

"Yeah I moved," she says.

"Why,"

"Carter I didn't even know if you remember it and I got scared," she explains her voice shaky.

"Oh it's okay Em," I say trying to comfort her.

"That's why I asked you if you remember anything the next morning," she says.

"Oh that make's sense," I responds.

"So after a couple of weeks in New York I started throwing up everyday and I came to the conclusion that a was pregnant. I decided to take the test and I was pregnant," she explains to me.

"So why did---," I begin but she cuts me off.

"I tried to call you to tell you that I was pregnant and it was yours,"

"You called me when," I ask really confused.

I never got a call from Emma.

"About month after I left," she says nervously.

"Why didn't I answer," I ask her.

"Well um actually Rebecca answered it," she answers sadly.

What Rebecca never told me about it.

"What did you tell her," I ask getting pretty mad.

"I told her I was pregnant thinking it was you," she whispers.

"REBECCA KNEW THE WHOLE TIME," I try to quietly yell.

"Yes she knew it,"

"Oh my god," I say annoyed and upset.

"I'm so sorry Carter I didn---," she begins but I cut her off.

"It wasn't you fault," I tell her.

Our food came.

"Let's just eat and continue after,"

"Okay," she says starting to eat.

I'm going to kill Rebecca for keeping me from my family.

Not literally but still.
