"Oh, y'can? Good. Tha's great." Emmett smiled wide. He had expected Phoebe to hold onto the comment forever, keep it darkening her heart, but he took her at her words and hoped they were true. He didn't want one thing from a drunken mistake to keep the rest of his life from being the best it could be.
She agreed it could be them and Emmett was overtaken with joy instead of despair for once. He jumped up and was about to pick her up, spin her, but stopped with his arms hovering about her as his eyes flicked down to her stomach. "...Oh. I prolly shouldn't spin about a pregnant lady, huh? I'll just..." Instead, he stood up and with a clearing of his throat, held out a hand to lift her up in a much calmer manner.
"Should we go tell the kids? And...maybe I can show you where we've been livin'. I've made the barn kinda a project of mine, lately. It's amazin' what you can do with a lotta time and some wood."
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?
