"Good morning Em Bear" Mark whispers, i smile with my eyes closed tiredly and whine. i feel a soft kiss on the side of my cheek "are you going to open those beautiful eyes baby?" i whine again and bury my face in the pillow. Mark laughs and gently moves my hair out of my face "stick your tongue out" i do as he says and feel a paste of my tongue. I eat it and smile feeling it melt in my mouth  "is that lemon butter icing?" i ask and roll onto my back. I smile up at him and feel his hand on my stomach "yes it is. Only the best for my girl" he bends down and pecks my lips. He pulls away slowly and sits up "i want some more" "only a little bit" he laughs and holds the spoon in front of my mouth. I  take small licks savouring every moment "mmm it's so good" i tell him feeling his hand rubbing my stomach. "only the best for my Em"  he kisses my bump and lays his head on it "and my baby" i smile looking at him and lick the wooden spoon enough so there's no a single bit left on it. 

"Em bear" Mark laughs as i put my arms around him "what do you want?" i smile and lay my head on his shoulder "i think you know what i want" i open my mouth and hum feeling the  icing touch my tongue "can i have more?" "its for the cake Em" he mumbles leaning his head against mine "but think about me and my needs. The needs that you caused" i push. Mark gave in a soon enough we had a slice of cake each for our breakfast  and a good lot of icing. "i love you" i look at him and smile "i love you too"  he kisses my lips and holds my cheek in one hand "you've got chubby" i tilt my head to the side "thats rude! I got pregnant because of you" i smile moving onto his lap "i never said that was a bad thing baby. I like you carrying my baby" i bite my lip and lean my head against his "of course you do" he kisses my lips and puts his hands on either side of  my bump "your my baby" smile widely "actually i'm my parents baby, Im just your girlfriend"  "mm no. Your mine forever"

I sit up and take my hands away from my stomach, there will always be something there. I wipe my eyes and pick up the phone. "Lizzie" i cry pulling the duvet up to my chest "Em. Whats wrong? why are you crying?" her voice is full of concern "i-i can't" "you can't what? Em what's wrong?" "I k-keep remembering them" I cry down the phone "sshh it's okay, I'm on my way now. It's okay" she reassures me whilst my head keeps spinning in circles. She keeps the call running whilst she drives and until she gets here.

 "Em! where are you?" she shouts and i hear her running up the stairs. She scoops me up in her arms and i cry into them "oh Emmy" she whispers consoling me "what's wrong? what happened?". I close my eyes, trying to block the ache from my chest as Lizzie runs her hands through my hair and her warm presence trying to push away my anger. "ssshh its me, it's Lizzie" "i dont know how to do this Lizzie" i whisper, my voice breaking "i dont know how to live without them" i cry holding her arm. She isn't quick to say anything, she knows how hard this is for me, she's been there since the beginning. "i know your angry. You have every right to be angry but you don't have to do this alone. Im here Em, i'm not going anywhere". I tremble in her arms feeling the loss and grief all over again "Emmy its okay. You've got Scarlett aswell, she'll help you too". I shake my head leaning back onto her "no i dont...she was angry i didn't tell her. She saw the photos or mom told her when she came yesterday" "oh Em...i'm sure she didn't mean to hurt you. I've seen the way she looks at you" i shake my head "this was different. She was so angry". 

Lizzie went downstairs to make was lemon tea each so i can be refresh myself and get ready for the day even thought it's eleven. I go down stairs and watch as she pours the hot water into mugs "thank you" i whisper walking over to her exhausted "your welcome" she holds out the mug and i take it from her. She smiles softly and we lean  against the counter "i keep thinking about the last time we were all together" i say my voice tight as the memories flood back "Mark and mom talking about chicken tikka masala who had the best recipe, the twins entertaining Luca whilst we sunbathed" Lizzie listens  and squeezes my arm softly knowing how much this hurts to talk about. I lean into her slowly "it's not your fault Em. I've told you before but you never believe me" i sigh and take a sip of the tea "Lizzie it is all-" she cuts me off "no its not. You dont need to explain it to me all over again. I know your angry and you have every right to be" "i just miss them so much" i cry. She squeezes my hand softly "sshh it's okay" i lean my head against hers "i cant forgive myself Lizzie".

After Em calms down we sit in the lounge with our teas and she puts the fire on just like she used to. "Em what did Scarlett say?" she shrugs and puts her mug down "she was angry i didn't tell her, thats all" i bite my lip and shake my head "no, what did she actually say" "she thought we could tell each other anything and then she got angry". I sit forehead "i dont think she was angry because you didn't tell her. I think she was upset because she doesn't think you trust her"  i tell Em realising whats going on "Lizzie it doesn't matter now. Its over"
