Jade's POV

A few minutes after Damian and Emily had left the house, there was a knock at the door. I huffed as I stood up from the chair and walked across the room to open the door, there stood a man and woman standing on the doorstep with Aurora in the woman's arms.

" Erm, Hello?" I said.

" Is Emily here?" The woman asked.

" No, she's out with a friend." I replied.

" Crap." The man muttered. " Do you know when she'll be back?"

" No, possibly in a few hours. Why what's going on? Who are you?"

" Well, we're Aurora's grandparents." The woman said.

" Sam's parents? " I asked before I could stop myself.

" Yes, my name is Jeannette and my husband's name is Oliver. Who are you?"

" My name is Juliet, I live here with Emily. "

" Oh okay, well my mother just got rushed to the hospital in the town over and it'd be easier not to bring Aurora into a hospital. Would you mind watching her until Emily gets back? We'd take her to Harry but he's still in England until tomorrow night. "

" Yeah, sure I can do that. I'm sorry to hear about your mother, hopefully it's nothing too serious. " I said before the woman handed Aurora to me. The blue eyed beauty clinged onto my blouse and looked up at me. " Hello, beautiful. " I cooed before looking back at Aurora's grandparents. " Could I possibly borrow your car seat? I remember that sometimes when Aurora doesn't want to sleep Emily takes her for a ride and then she falls asleep during it. I'll have Emily return it tomorrow to you."

" Yeah, I'll go get it." Oliver said before walking away.

" I can't thank you enough. " Jeannette smiled. " We're you friends with Samantha? "

" Yeah." I lied.

" Oliver and I miss her terribly, it's so sad that Aurora didn't get the chance to get to know her mother, but I know that Emily and Harold will make sure she knows about who her mother was."

" I truly believe that they will." I smiled. " Would you like to come in?"

" Yes, please. " Jeannette replied. I moved out of the doorway with Aurora wiggling around in my arms, and Jeannette entered. I closed the door behind her and she took a seat on the couch.

When I tried to sit Aurora down onto the living room carpet she begun to cry and righted her little grip on my blouse. " Shhh, don't cry 'Ora." I said, trying to soothe the sobbing infant.

" She sure is clinging to you." Jeannette giggled. " Do you spend a lot of time with her while she's here?"

" Sometimes, Emily watches her mostly. But she hates my boyfriend. " I laughed. " Whenever he tries to pick her up she either tries to crawl away from him or cries."

" She's the same with Oliver, I think the only men she likes are Harry and his roommate Devin."

" His name is Damian. " I corrected her. " Harry has always been great with children, he loves Aurora so much. He even loved her before she was born."
