"Hero celebration, huh? I don' think we have anyone we celebrate like tha'.." He mused as he ate his pastry, quite happy in the moment to just think and eat. When he was a child he had had games and day dreams of adventuring to far off lands outside the barrier and returning to a march, but those ideas had long since been crushed by the reality of farm work to be done.
Phoebe said she had something to tell him and Emmett turned to look at her. His first thought was that she had found another boyfriend in their break and he put a nervous smile on his face, ready to congratulate her and bury his heart.
But what she actually did have to say completely shocked him, left him with his mouth open and his jaw uselessly moving without forming words. "You...y-you...I...you..." Unable to formulate any kind of sentence he stared down at his own lap as he tried to take in the information. Pregnant. That meant another baby in the house, this one his. No longer would he just be a big-brother-turned-substitute-dad, but a real father.
He didn't at all take in Phoebe's words about handling it herself. Emmett could see no option but to take responsibility as well; after all he had half the blame. There wasn't any excitement in his voice, but a shaky attempt at comfort as he reached over to take her hand. "...We'll...work through this together, yeah?"
Emmett
It burns too bright
I think about my self a lot 'cause it's the only one I've got
I've earned this life
What have I done to earn this life?
