Emma is kissing me all over and of course my phone rings at the worst time. I had to answer. It was my dad.
"Hello?"
"Son, there's a meeting on Thursday you need to attend. It's crucial to your career in taking this over."
I groan in irritation. Emma stops and looks at me as if she did something wrong and rolls off of me. I try to grab her wrist before she leaves the bed and leaves the room, but I'm too slow.
"Dad, that's not going to work for me. I'm not coming home until next week. Postpone it, yeah?"
I could hear my fathers frustration.
"Eli James, you get your ass home by Thursday. You and Gracie both. You're coming to the meeting!" And hangs up. I groan again and get up.
"Emma?"
I go into the kitchen and she's sitting on the counter looking so sad. It breaks my heart.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
"I wanted to make you feel good and I failed."
"Babe, you didn't fail at all! That way my dad telling me to come home Thursday for a meeting."
She looked at me confused. "But, I thought we were leaving next week." She is worrying and she can't for our baby's sake.
"Baby, please don't worry. It's just a minor change in plans. We will take the most important things you own with us this week and come back for the rest."
She looks deep in thought at her hands. I tilt her chin up to look me in the eyes.
"Em, listen to me, it's all going to be fine. I promise!" She leans her forehead against mine and sighs.
"How about I feed my beautiful girlfriend and our baby breakfast?"
She smiles and says "that would be wonderful." I help her get off the counter so she doesn't fall and have her sit at the table.
