Emma sat in a coffee shop and sipped on some tea. She knew that she shouldn't be having caffeine, seeing as she found out the week before that she was expecting a baby in a little over 5 months. She and Steven were thrilled, but she also knew that the man she loved was feeling sicker with every passing day.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Emily entered the shop and rushed to her table, taking a seat across from her.

"Congratulate me..." Emily started with a huge smile on her face.

"Who are you and where is my depressed, manic best friend, Emily?" Emma asked skeptically.

"She's gone," Emily answered, "And I just figured out how to fix everything wrong with my marriage."

"There's nothing wrong with your marriage," Emma corrected.

"Right... that's why morning sickness is the new high point of my days," Emily commented synically.

"So, what's your big fix?" Emma asked.

"I just landed a great job..." Emily explained.

"I thought you had another year left on your internship..." Emma started.

"I did, but I dropped out of medical school officially this morning."

"You dropped out of med school?" Emma asked in shock, "Are you nuts?"

"No, I'm being a good mother for the first time ever. Lucas has been a wreck since Zack's been gone, and I want what's best for my family. I wasn't getting paid for my internship, in fact, I was paying for it. So I just decided to get a real job that pays real money. It's that simple."

"What's the job?" Emma asked.

"I'm doing all of the PR work for a minor league baseball team in town. It pays really well."

"A baseball team..." Emma started, "You're insane. You'll be working ridiculous hours... on top of driving Patrick's jealousy to new heights. And, let me remind you, you're pregnant. That stress won't be good..."

"I can deal with it," Emily insisted, "Besides, I was fooling myself to think I could be a doctor."

"Hello, ladies," Morgan said as he brought them some tea. Aaron had let him take a job at the diner as long he checked in on his breaks. "Can I take your order?"

Morgan looked and realized who was talking to. "Emily, I didn't realize you were here. This is really awkward."

"You're practically my nephew," Emily told him, "It's not awkward... at lesat it wouldn't be if it weren't for that psycho..."

"Em..." Emma warned, "We'll take two chai teas please..."

"Aaron's changed," Morgan told them as he went to get their tea. "He really loves me, and he's a great dad to Zack."

"You know what," Emily started, gathering her things, "I think I've lost my appetite."

"I'm sorry, Morgan," Emma explained, "But would you be horribly offended if we asked you to serve another few tables instead?"

Morgan set the tea down. "Sure."

He reached into his pocket and threw a picture down on the table. It was Zack's latest school picture, taken a month ago. He'd grown a few inches and put on some muscle, looking almost nothing like the boy that was at Patrick and Emily's wedding.

Morgan walked away to wait on another table.

"That was harsh," Emma said, picking up the picture of Zack and looking at it.

"I'm sorry," Emily admitted, putting her head into her hands, "I'm just so angry that everything's so screwed up. I hate that this has become my life."

"Come with me..." Emma said, taking the photo and standing up, "We're going to make things better."

Morgan watched them as he waited on the other tables. He wished that Emily and Aaron would get along for Zack's sake. He was starting to think of Zack as his own son, and wanted what was best for him.
