Chapter 28: Christmas Baby P2

Pov Rachel

"Ok it's right here, get ready for this amazing thing" Emma said pulling into a neighborhood. Preston and Madison were sitting in the back. I was holding my hot coffee and Emma's hot chocolate.
Oh my god it was amazing. This house was completely covered in crazy amounts lights. My mind was blown. Emma's smile spread across her face seeing the house. I couldn't help but smile seeing her so excited. She parked and jumped out of the car.
"Come on baby" she said laughing, god she was cute when she was excited. I wrapped my arms around her shoulder and we walked through the path the home owners left out for people to walk through. Preston and Madison walked behind us holding hands.
"Wait stop" Madison said from behind us. We stopped and turned around.
"Stay right there" she said pulling out her phone. We both smiled, my arms over her shoulder with my head to the side of hers. I kissed her cheek in the second photo.
Madison turned her phone around and she had us perfectly framed in front of the blowup snow globe so we almost look like we are in it.
"Your turn" I said taking her phone so I could take a photo of her and Preston.

After seeing Christmas lights we all got back in the car and we screamed the lyrics to All I Want for Christmas by Mariah Carey. Rachel smiled at me and turned back to the road. I picked her hand up using it as a microphone.
"All I want for Christmas is youuuuuu" I sang, she laughed at Madison and I and our attempt to harmonize.

We sang the entire way back to Madison's house. I said goodnight to everyone then headed up stairs to fall asleep. Rachel stayed down stairs because she wasn't tired yet and I think they were doing something or not telling me something.
The air was quite cold so I snuggled under the blankets and slowly feel asleep.

"I am so tired" Emma said laying on me on the couch. 
"Then sleep" I said then I kissed her.
"Mmm yeah, i might just do that" she said picking up her head and standing up. She hugged everyone goodnight then kissed my cheek before walking upstairs.
"So tell us about you" Gracie said sitting on the floor petting a cat.
"Oo yes" Carrie said with a smile.
"Guys don't pry" Madison said looking around.
"No it's totally okay" I laughed, "so basic facts I am a junior, I turn 21 in May, I play on the varsity soccer team at MSU and am a medical major because I want to be work in neonatal surgery." I finished, Carrie was nodding and Gracie was smiling. I mean they must like me a little bit. I knew how much this family meant to Emma so I needed them to like me.
"Neonatal that's so cool" Gracie said.
"It is and I love it" I said.
"Yeah you are for sure my favorite significant other I've met of Emma's" Carrie laughed. I really didn't know how to reply to that,
"I said the same thing" Madison said laughing.
"Right like Tyler was a piece of shit, Owen was just not good enough, AJ she was just all over the place, but you you're solid and driven and so incredibly pretty. You just match Emma" Carrie said.
"omg I completely forgot about AJ, that was so awkward" Gracie laughed. I was so confused, who was AJ.
"Well Gracie you have to remember that was Emma's first girlfriend so it was going to be awkward" Madison said sitting up from Prestons lap.
i just listened to all the insider juice on Emma. I almost felt like I shouldn't be listening but I wanted to know everything.
"that's true" Gracie.
"I remember when Emma told me the plan, I nearly shit myself. I mean she was super sweet she just wasn't driven and didn't have goals. Emma set herself up and is so driven and goal oriented" Carrie said.
"Oh my god the plan I completely forgot about that" Madison said laughing.
"What was the plan, do I even want to know" I said laughing.
"Basically AJ lived in Cali, and her and Emma met at a college four camp thing that was a sleepover at USC. Anyways both found out they liked girls ended up kissing whatever right. Well then they like facetimed every night and then AJ said she wanted visit Emma so they made a plan to stay here for a week so that way Emma's mom wouldn't know." Madison said.
"Wow that's one heck of a plan" I laughed.
"Yeah I mean it worked, I'm pretty sure her mom thinks you were her first girlfriend" Carrie said.
"Oh really" I said surprised. I guess I had never really thought about it, or talked to Emma about old relationships.
"Yeah you are the first that she has brought home too" Carrie said smiling.
I felt special, I was the first she brought home, the first she told her mom about, the first she said I love you too. I was the first for everything, my heart felt happy but also for a second afraid. No one's firsts ever last. Was I just going to be the first that her she talks to her second about? Stop Rachel, everything is fine. Just be happy with what you have right now, and God hold on tight to it cause it makes you feel good.
"You okay Rach" Madison asked
"Yeah just tired. I just zoned out" I said shaking myself out of it.
"I'm going to head to bed, I loved talking to you guys" I said standing up.
"night sweetheart" Carrie said as I walked up the stairs. I opened the door and Emma was curled in a ball in the corner of the bed. Her body shook lightly, hmm what was happening. I stepped in the door quietly and sat on the bed beside her. I put my hand on her side, "Pinky?" I said, she turned her face towards me it was streaked with tears and her cheeks were red.
"Baby what happened" I asked holding my hand to her wet cheek.
"I can't do it anymore, it's way to much all at once" she cried.
"Baby what?" I asked with a nervous tone.
"My mom, Tyler, Hannah and Kylie, my heart it just hurts so bad. And I'm taking everyone with me." she said crying harder.
"Honey what do you mean I am so confused." I asked rubbing her arm.
"My mom said if I came to dinner you can't so I fought with her and then she finally is okay with it cause of Christopher. Tyler is emailing me and texting me and trying to follow me, and I feel helpless. Kylie is in the hospital again and we can't do anything about it"
"Kylie's what?" i said pulling my hand back to grab my phone.
"In the hospital, they've been texting us" she said still crying.
"Shit I left my phone up here" I said putting my hand on her side and using my other to go through my phone.
"Honey it says she's okay though" I said reading the texts with a sigh of relief.
"I know but I didn't know that at first, I was waiting and waiting to hear what happened, now I know she's okay but my heart it's tired. I'm tired of being sad" she said closing her eyes. My heart broke, she quickly opened her eyes.
"You are the only good thing but I feel like I am pulling you down with me. I feel like I'm drowning you constantly" she said putting her hands over her face. Her body was laid out beside me. I didn't know what to do, she wasn't drowning me, I loved her so much. I put my hand on her stomach, "Emma look at me" I said in a calm voice. She opened her eyes as more tears fell down her cheek.
"Honey you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, I've never felt more loved and cared for. You fit me like a puzzle, you aren't drowning me, but I hate seeing you so closed off and in pain. Baby you need to let me in, I want to help you and go through it with you. No more shutting your feelings out. No more. You tell me how you feel and we will deal with it together" I said trying not to cry seeing the obvious pain in her face.
She looked up the ceiling and closed her eyes. a tear rolled from the corner of her eyes.
"Baby please" I said moving closer. I laid down beside her, and pulled her on top of me and held her. Her body wasn't tensed but like a rag doll. My one arm wrapped around her waist and and the other held the back of her head. She moved her head to the crook my neck. Her cold nose touched my neck before her lips, she whispered "I love you"
"I love you too pinky" I said back. She wrapped her arms around my body and she was asleep.
