This Love (A Stemily Fanfiction)

6. Too In Love To Think Straight

Emily's POV

After talking with the girls a little bit longer, I wanted to spend some time celebrating with Stephen, but he was nowhere to be found.

I walked over to David. "Hey, have you seen Stephen?" I asked.

He shook his head. "Not in a while, he walked off with Wendy, maybe they're in her office."

I nodded and headed that way, making sure to leave Mav with Italia.

When I got closer to Wendy's office, I heard shouting.

"This is my life! You have no say in any of this!" It was Stephen's voice.

"You jumped into this relationship and now you're having not one, but two kids, with someone who is a kid herself! I don't understand what the hell you were thinking!" It was Stephen's sister.

"I was thinking that for once in a long time, I am happy! You know first-hand how miserable me and Cass were. I thought you of all people would be happy for me!" He yelled.

I knew that listening was wrong, but I wanted to know what his family really thought of this situation.

"Are you even sure they're your kids?" She asked smugly.

I heard him take a deep breath. "You're fucking kidding right?"

She didn't say anything.

"Of course they're mine. God, why couldn't you just get on board like mom." He pleaded.

She chuckled. "You know that mom will be happy with whatever her perfect little prince decides. So don't go there. I have always been there for you Steve, but with this, I don't understand, you let a marriage go down the drain for your co-star? Seriously! Is that something you are going to want to explain to you daughter?"

That was my cue.

I knocked softly on the door. "Stephen?"

His sister rolled her eyes, but I pretended not to notice.

He smiled upon seeing me. "Everything okay?" He asked taking my hand.

I nodded. "I just wanted to see if you were ready to cut the cake? Mavi is getting a little anxious." I lied and normally I would have never stepped in because it doesn't matter who you are, you DO NOT get in between siblings when they are having an argument. Therefore, I acted like I didn't know what was going on, I simply wanted to get Stephen out of there before things escalated, after all this was our workplace.

Stephen's POV

I led Emily back to the lair and we waited for Gen to walk in with the cake.

"You okay?" I asked. I imagined that she probably heard what was going on, but preferred not to say anything.

She smiled. "I'm fine. You?"

"I will be." I answered.

She didn't question me, simply reached up and kissed me.

Emily's POV

Gen made her way in with the cake and Mavi started clapping.

I laughed and Stephen picked her up. We made our way to the table where most of us had "bled out" on during shooting.

After all the festivities we made our way home with Mavi fast asleep in her car seat.

"So you're not going to ask me what happened with..." He questioned.

"Your sister?" I finished.

He nodded.

"No. I know you'll tell me if you want. I'm not going to pressure you." I answered.
