Brooklyn got a fright when the door opened and suddenly the two of them weren’t close anymore. She bit down on her lip, clasping her hands and feeling like she’d gotten caught doing something wrong even though… had she? Brooklyn sighed, looking at Amelia and giving a little shrug. “Um… see you later.”

Admittedly Amelia already missed the closeness from Brooklyn. And hopefully this didn’t blow her chances or anything like that. Hearing Emma, she knew she was in trouble. But she wasn’t understanding why? Nodding her head at her mother’s words. “Yeah, okay.” She sighed some, looking back towards Brooklyn. “I’ll see you later. Call me? Or text me?” @emmaxwilliamson​

Noelle looked back at Emma, smiling lightly. “Hi…” She returned the greeting with a little nod. She wasn’t entirely sure how to act or what she was supposed to say but she’d known that being here meant she was likely going to run into Emma at some point, hadn’t she? “How.. are you?”

It was always awkward running into your exes even though Emma, was still very much friends with Imogen and more. But Noelle was different. “Busy, busy. The twins keep me running around and so does the busy schedule of being the Mayor. What about you? How long are you in town for?” 

Nina smiled. “Perfect!” It sounded like the perfect night. “What should we order?” She wondered, moving to pick up her phone so she could order them something. She leaned in to kiss Emma gently again and then moved to slip her shoes off.

Nina smiled lightly. She hoped that Emma really was okay like she said, but she didn’t want to push her wife at all. She chuckled, leaning in and kissing her back. “I say we order some take away, we turn off the lights, and we spend the night together…. maybe even take a bath.” She chuckled, thinking that she needed just some time to unwind with her beautiful wife and Emma could probably use a breather.

The redhead had to give them an answer. Eric had a plan, he wanted her to become the Mayor without the secret council. That was now ran by himself and several other people. She wanted to give the town back to the people and he supported that. Maybe it was because of how long  they had known each other or something. Nina was watching the twins and she still had yet to talk to her about this. Their whole lives were about to change because well Emma was going to accept this job. “So your husband has decided to ask me to be Mayor.” She just assumed that Imogen knew about the council because it didn’t seem like there were much secrets between the Matthews anymore. She walked in front of her in the woods. Moving over a hill, she held her hand out to Imogen this way she wouldn’t fall or anything like that. “Watch your step, love.”

“I’m just glad to be home with you.” Nina smiled back at her, scanning Emma’s face. At least she didn’t have to be in tomorrow. She nodded at the idea of getting Wyatt to work there. “Actually, that’s a pretty good idea. We should sit him down and run it by him. I think it could be good for him.” She nodded. “Are you doing okay?” Nina knew Emma had a lot on her shoulders right now and she just hoped she was handling it all alright. “Well, we better make the most of our alone time then.” She chuckled, pushing the text message out of her mind. It was just kids mucking around, wasn’t it? Everyone knew the rumours after all…

Nina turned in the direction of the voice with a smile, making her way through to the kitchen. She lingered in the doorway while Emma finished up on the call and just looked back at her. “Hey.” She chuckled, moving further into the room and pressing a kiss to her wife’s lips before she went straight for the kettle. “Long.” She laughed. “Everyone seems to be calling into the restaurant sick with the flu right now. What did you get up to? Are the kids out?”

Emma kissed her back gently, with a small smile on her lips. “I’m sorry, my love.” Moving after her, she rubbed her back gently before turning to grab two cups for tea. “We should make Wyatt, get a job there. Might help him with everything. I know he has football training soon. But will also teach him how to juggle things.” She shrugged a little bit. “Just work stuff. I’m trying to figure out what to tell Eric tomorrow, I have to check in on the Call Centre and I have a couple afternoon meetings. They are I believe so it’s just us here.”

Imogen smiled softly. “Me too..” She admitted quietly. Imogen looked back at Emma, doing her best not to think back to those times. It still caused a great deal of pain - of course it did. “Really?” Imogen remembered not liking Jackson and she hadn’t really had too many run ins with Duncan which she was happy about now, and Freya had kidnapped her brother, so the whole family seemed crazy, like their family line was tainted in some way, but of course she didn’t say that. “Yeah, Daniel totally is more Ford.” Imogen agreed, looking back at her “I’m sure he just needs time.” She said, looking quietly back at Emma before being unable to help herself from leaning in to kiss her.
