"I miss you, Liam. I can hardly wait until I see you again. How about a movie tonight? At 5 they're having a Quentin Tarantino movie night at the Hayden Cinema. They are playing all his best movies like Pulp Fiction Django Unchained, the Kill Bill saga, Jackie Brown, and, of course, Inglorious Bastards!" Emma grinned as she called her boyfriend on Saturday morning.

"I'm missing you too, Em. The Tarantino movie night sounds great. Do you mind if my best friend Nathalie joins us? She's a huge fan from Tarantino movies too. Nat asked me a lot of questions about you when she can finally get to know you. This seems like the perfect opportunity," he said. Then he added, "I just wonder what's going on with Dad and Uncle Logan. They have been acting really strange. Something must be going on."

"Oh that would be awesome! I'd love to meet her," Emma said excitedly. She thought for a moment and said, "You know, Mom and Dad have also been weird for the past few days." Before she could say anything more, she was interrupted by soft knocking on her door. "Liam one moment please," she said, putting the call on hold. "Yeah? Come in" she said.

Her father came in her room. Max looked at his daughter seriously and immediately began to speak, "Emma honey would you please come into the living room? We're expecting guests in a few minutes. You can call him back later."

The teenager briefly rolled her eyes and continued the conversation with her boyfriend, "Liam, I have to go, we're having guests. But I'm already looking forward to meeting you and Nat today. I'll call you back later."

"That's okay. I have to go now too anyway. Dad and I are going to have breakfast at the Manufactum Cafe," he said. "And Emma? I'm really looking forward to seeing you again tonight. See you soon, sweetie. Take care of yourself."

"You too. I will count the hours until we meet again. Bye" she ended the conversation and looked at her father a little angry.

But before she could say anything on it, he cleared his throat, "I know you're in a bad mood right now, but it's important that you come down now. Our guests will be here in about twenty minutes".

"Oh, it's okay, Dad. And thanks again for helping me with my science project. I don't know what I would have done without your help." Emma paused and considered how to ask the question on her mind. She said, "Hey Dad? I have a strange question for you."

"What?" he asked and nervously ran his hand through his blonde hair.

"Why were you the there the last few days? Could it be that you and Mom are planning to get together again? And if so, please don't hurt her. Sophie thinks that nothing is going on between you. But if there's a little hope..." she rambled. Max sighed, stopped for a moment and took his daughter in his arms.

He stroke her long red hair and would have done anything not to have this conversation today with Logan and Rory.

The last few days have been quite exhausting for him and Katherine. None of them would have ever believed that they would face Emma's/Norah's birth parents at any time. It took him so much strength to control himself during the meeting with Logan and Rory. Katherine had once again managed to calm him down with her mere presence.
