Everything is crumbling around her, Emma-Lee's mom shipped her away for college. "Italy?!, Really mom?" She yells, "Emma-Lee, it's for your own good" Erin kisses her head and pushes her towards the plane.
"Plane ticket please?" The flight attendant says, he had a thick Italian accent, "uhh, this in my bag" she sets her bag on the floor by her feet, a guy grabs it and runs. "Shit" she starts chasing him, he was just a little boy, about 7 years old, she found him eating her chocolate bar, "Hey little guy, can I have my stuff back?"

The 7 year old tries to run, luckily the guards take him to find his parents, Emma-Lee grabs her stiff and assumes her plane left until she see's the flight attendant smiles at her, "The plane waited?" She asks, "Took some convincing, but yeah" the flight attendant says, Emma-Lee returns his smile. "Your rows all booked, follow me, I know a place" he says, she just laughs, "as long as I say your my girlfriend their leave you alone" he whispers. We sit down in first class, "Excuse me, Oliver, who's that?" A male asks, "This is my girlfriend" He says, "Emma-Lee" I put my hand out, "Tali, good to meet you, can I get you a hot towelette?" He asks, "No thank you" she smiles, "can I get you a snack baby?" Oliver asks, "yes please, remember, no peanuts!" She smiles "I remember love" he says in an Italian accent.

When she landed Oliver went with my, Tali's request to the captain, he helped me bring !y stuff to my college dorm. "Thank you" I say, "No problem baby girl" he says teasingly, I blushed a little, "Oliver, when are you leaving?" She asks, "Probably in a week" he says, "Then let's pretend you are my boyfriend" she whispers leaning in.
"Are you sure, I'm a little dangerous when it comes to 'bed time' love" he says, she chuckles.
You can imagine what happens next.

(6 weeks later)

"O-oliver" Emma-Lee says on the phone, "yes love?" He asks, worry coating his voice, "I-i'm pregnant" she says, "That's wonderful!, The planes landing in Italy in 3 hours, can I come over?" He asks. "Yes, but please don't be mad... It's twins" Emma-Lee was so worried about what he would think, she didn't think about her mom. "I-i've got to call my mom" she says, "wait for me love, just in case" Oliver says, Emma-Lee nods, then remembers he can't see her "ok.." she hangs up after they say bye.

After he got there and they called Erin, the conversation went something like this:
"I'm  pregnant"

"Are you dumb?!"

"I wanted this to go different" she sobs.

"I'm sorry, you know the dad, right?"

"Yeah, he's a flight attendant"

"Good pay" she whispers
