Family Business

Aftermath.

Emily's P.O.V: It was about a 5 hour flight to canada but, once we touched down I picked up my phone and called Allen. It rang a couple of times and when he picked up he said "Hey Em. I was just about to call you." I replied "Oh well I thought I would beat you to it. What did you want to talk about?" It took him a while to answer so I said "Allen? Did I lose you?" He said "No I just don't know where to begin." I sighed then he said "I wanted to talk about what happened." I was stumped. I didn't know what to say so it took a minute for me to reply. When I did I said "What do you mean?" He said "I want to talk about why we stopped being friends." When he said that I scoffed and then told Allen that if he wanted to talk about our friendship you will either have to come to canada or wait. Now after I said that I hung up, I tried not to get too worked up because I did not want to hurt the baby. I walked over to the car that was going to take Shane and I to Hope Zion but while I was walking I started to feel very light headed and before I could get into the car I tripped and fell into the car door. When my hand hit the window I heard Shane's door fly open and he comes running over to me, lifts me up and asks me what's going on and if I was alright, I shake off the cobwebs and then say "No." He didn't say anything but I felt in my soul that he knew I needed a minute. Once he got me back on my own two feet I collapsed into my husband's arms sobbing, he wrapped his arms around me and started to rub his hand up and down my back then said "Emily. Baby talk to me. What's going on?"

Shane's P.O.V: When we touched down in Canada there was a car there waiting to take us to go see Kate. I got up and asked Em if she wanted me to wait for her. She looked up at me, shook her head and said "Go ahead babe. I have to make a phone call." I gave her a quick kiss and then made my way off the plane then got in the car. It was not even five minutes later when I heard something smack on the window, so I swung open my car door and shot out of the car then ran to the other side to see Emily on the ground. I run over to help her up and I go "Em? What happened? Are you ok?" she shook her head no I did not want to push her so I helped her stand up. I look at her and ask one more time "What happened babe?" she collapsed into my arms and started sobbing. In between her sobs she said "Allen...and I was on the phone...It didn't end well." I let her cry it out for a good ten minutes then I lifted her by her shoulders, wiped the tears from her eyes and said "I love you. We will talk about this more later but right now we have to go see your sister." She sniffled and before we got into the car she pulled me into a kiss I didn't know what it was for then she pulled away and said "I do not know how I got so lucky." and we got in the car and made our way to Hope Zion. It took about a half an hour to get to the hospital from the airport and the car ride there was eerily quiet like I haven't seen Em so zoned out in her own thoughts I looked at her and that didn't seem to get her attention so I put my hand on her shoulder and she jumped. I said "What are you thinking about that has got you so jumpy?" She replied "Allen and I have a complicated relationship. He was there for me when I was first coming up, then one day he tells me that he is going to leave his wife for me and I told him that I did not feel the same way." I go, did he hurt you? She said no he didn't he's not like that we just stopped talking then out of the blue he just wants to go back to the way things were. Shane I shared so much of my past with Allen we were very close it broke me when we stopped talking but eventually I got over it how am I supposed to open myself up to have that kind of friendship again without him getting the wrong impression when he could fuck me over like he did last time. I honestly was overwhelmed by everything my wife told me so it took a while for me to process so I just sat there silent.

Emily's P.O.V: On our way to Hope Zion I told Shane everything about my relationship with Allen. When I was done talking for what seemed like an eternity I waited for Shane to say something and he didn't when he didn't say anything that is when I started to spiral but then this rational little voice in my head said "He loves you. Give him time to process." So that's what I did but instead of sitting in silence I pulled myself to the other side of the car and started to make out with my husband. After five minutes of some intense making out Shane pulled back and said "Babe. We gotta talk about what you just told me." I said I know but you know how much I hate sitting in silence tell me what you want to know. He asked me a series of questions but the one that really meant something was when he said "I need to know if you have feelings for him." I immediately said "No. I see Allen like family and nothing more." I was shocked when he asked me that so I looked at him and said "Why would you think that?" I told you about my past with Allen because we do not have secrets but there is one thing that I know and that is that I Emily Funk love you Shane Brandon Mcmahon. Then the car stopped moving and I looked out the window and saw that we were at Hope Zion before we got out of the car. I looked at Shane and he looked at me and we shared a long passionate kiss and then got out of the car where we were met by Charlie Harris Kate's boyfriend and surgeon. We said our hellos and then I asked him how she was doing. He said the surgery went off without a hitch. She's doing great. It is going to be a long recovery but she will be okay with lots of rest and physical therapy. I looked at him and I asked "How long will the recovery be?" Then he told me that it would be a 6 month recovery. I shook my head and then I made my way into Hope Zion to see my sister.
