~An Emison Story~ Second Chances

Emergency Contact

~Ali's POV~

I can't help but sigh as I pull up into our complex's underground parking garage. Automatically parking in my assigned parking spot, I'm on auto pilot at this point. It's dark and grungy with florescent lights shinning above even though it's barely 3pm in the afternoon on a Friday. It's been a long day and we're only half way through it. Not to mention ever since that day with Ms. Aguilar it's just royally sucks to pick up Jessie from school. Having to look at her... Ugh... She wishes Emily would even look twice at her.

Deep breaths, deep breathes. I try my best to relax myself by shaking it off and get out of the car.

"Jessie baby, stay next to mama. I'm going to get your brother. You know the rules." I tell my baby girl in my stern motherly voice as I unbuckle her and hold out my hand. She grabs it and smiles jumping out of the car. I quickly get her out and walk to the other side to get her baby brother out. I'm exhausted to be honest but a mother's job is never done. "Be a good girl Jessie." I warn her one more time. Jessie then smiles and nods her head obediently at me. I smile back at her and bring my attention to her brother. Then out of nowhere my little girl screams almost causing me to have a heart attack as I grab my chest.

"Mama! Mama!" Jessie gleefully jumps up and down as she tugs on my skirt trying to get my attention back from her brother. He was whining the whole ride home and now he's pouting in the back seat as I try to get him out as fast as I can.

"Shhh... buddy." I try to coo him. Patting his tummy trying to get him to calm down as he whines. My little boy being extremely impatient with me and squirming in his seat as I try to unbuckle him with no success. "One minute Jessie let me get your brother." I scold her. So of course I don't look up to see why she's so excited. Great mother I am right?

"Buddy stay still so I can get you out." I lightly scold him as he reaches over and lightly tugs on my hair. "Ouch... Addie be a good boy." At that my little boy acts innocent smiling widely and giggling at me. I can't help but smile at how cute he is. Even when he's being a brat.

"Auntie EM!" Jessie screams again startling me, waving her hands around as she jumps up and down. Trying to get the brunettes attention. I can't help it as my head immediately snaps up and I look at the tall brunette through the back window of my car. She's busy on her phone on the other side of the garage, she must have not heard Jess because she hasn't even look up. God she looks so beautiful. I can't help but admire her then...

Oh my God... oh my God... I internally start to panic.

"Jessie stay here." I hiss quietly at my daughter, slightly ducking down and having no idea why. I'm holding on to her brother as I go to reach for her arm. I know Jessie when she gets too excited, she's a runner.

"Mama... it's Auntie Em!" Jessie screams once more before she bolts towards the tan woman. Damn it! She was too fast for me to grab her as she makes a dash for Emily across the parking garage.

"JESSIE!" I can't help but scream out loud. I quickly pull Addie out of his seat and trying my best to go after her.

Emily's head snaps up from her phone and you can see a look of panic cross her beautiful features as she hears me scream. Her instincts then kick in and she's looking around at her surroundings and runs towards Jessie. Trying to protect her. Doing her best to get to my little girl before God forbid she gets hit by a car.

"Auntie Em!" My little girl continues to run determine to get to Emily. Not paying attention to anything but her.

"Jessie Stop!" Emily screams and Jessie freezes in place. Emily immediately runs to her. You can see she's just as panic as I am. She crossed the parking garage in less than two minutes. My ex-wife finally reaches Jessie and scoops her up in her arms. Hugging her tightly to her body and you can see the sigh she releases in unison with me when Jessie is finally safe in her arms.
