Emmett was surprised to hear Phoebe deny his help, having thought she would have been pleased to have them both ready to work on the situation. Their whole relationship was proving to be a crash course in how to effectively communicate, and he felt like right now they were at best getting a C-.
"Bee. You ain' a burden, and I'm gonna help. If it helps think about it this way: I..I'm gonna be a dad right? So I deserve to be a part of it's...their...life. I wanna know my own kid, not be a dad who ain' home. Sides, I can' leave you. That'd be real bad of me." It felt surreal to be having this conversation when just this morning having his own children had felt like a distant possibility, but it was clear he meant the words from the way he leaned forward in earnet and squeezed her hand.
"I know you're tryina help me, but I'm not gonna let you try to do alla this yourself. We'll make a nice room somewhere for the baby and they can grow up with Chris and Milly too. And....and if you want...I'll marry ya, if it'd help. Anythin', Bee. This is half my thing and I ain' gonna forget that."

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?
