Emma's Problems

*30 minutes after that Emma comes walking in the front door, dripping with sweat. Everybody looks at her as she walks in*

Emma: "What is going on here?"

Amelia: "Nothing sweetie. We were just telling your dad where you had gone. Why don't you go and take a shower and then we can plan something to do. Okay?"

Emma: "Okay. Sure. *She goes upstairs and takes a shower, 15 minutes later she hollers for Amelia"

Amelia: *runs upstairs* "Yeah Em? Are you okay?

Emma: "Amy, Can you come in here please?"

*Amelia walks in* Are you okay? What happened?

Emma: "I'm okay. I uhmm, I just need something"

Amelia: What is it? What do you need Sweetie?"

Emma: "Well it uhhh would appear that I have uhmm gotten something, but I don't have anything with me"

Amelia: "You got your period?"

Emma: "Yeah"

Amelia: "That's okay. I have tampons, I'll give you some until we can go to the store. Okay?

Emma: "Okay. But uhmm I've never used one before."

Amelia: "It's okay. I'll teach you, if you want me to?"

Emma: "That would be great. Thank you Aunt Amy. I felt very limited, and like I couldn't do certain things because of pads. My mom never showed me how to use a tampon, so thank you for that. And for not making this weird"

Amelia: "You're welcome sweetie. Just think of me as your unofficial second mom, when you need help with stuff girl related you can always come to me or get ahold of me on the phone and I will gladly help you out"

Emma: *hugging Amelia* Thank you. You have no idea what this means to me.

Amelia: "You're welcome. Now you hang out in here, and I'll go and get some tampons for you and be right back"

Emma: "Okay." *Amelia goes grabs a handful and comes back*

Amelia: "Okay, ready sweetie"

Emma: "As ready as I'll ever be"

Amelia: "Okay" *She shows Emma how to insert and take out a tampon, and tells her how long to keep one in before she has to change it, and the risks of toxic shock syndrome*

Emma: "Wow, that was super easy, Thank you again. This is gonna make my life so much easier."

Amelia: "Again you're welcome. I'm glad I could help but now I'm gonna go so you can finish up." *She leaves and goes back to the kitchen* "Me and Emma need to go to the store soon. So what's the plan for today"

Carolyn: "Well I am going to start working on the prep work for Thanksgiving dinner. What about you Derek?"

Derek: " Well I was gonna talk to Emma. About moving here and about Jessica. Should I approach her or let her come to me to talk?"

Amelia: "Let her come to you. Trust me on this"

Derek: "Okay. And I do trust you. I always have. You and mom are the only ones I fully trust"

*Emma comes walking downstairs in a loose fitted t shirt from one of her schools sports teams, and some jeans and converses.* "Hi. I'm sorry that I took so long."

Derek: "It's okay honey. So uhmm you are going to the store with Amy, and then anytime after that, whenever you are ready that is, me and you can talk. How's that sound?"

Emma: "Sounds good dad, but word of advice; Don't be nervous around me. There is no need for you to be nervous when it comes to me"

Derek: "Got it. I'll try to remember that but I make no promises. "

Emma: *smiling* "I must get that from you then. I always say that I make no promises but I'll try."

Derek: "Yes you do" *Smiling*

Amy: "Alright chickadee, ready to go?"

Emma: "Yeah, let me go grab my purse real quick." *Running upstairs and grabbing it. Coming back down* "Okay. I'm ready."

*Amelia and Emma leave and go to the store, and then the mall and they eat at the food court*
