Emily walked into her house with Lucas asleep on her shoulder. It had taken a lot of convincing, but she got Nikolas to agree to go to Europe and leave their son with her. She was grateful, mainly because being alone wasn't something she thought she could handle at this point.

She brought Lucas into his bedroom and laid him down in his crib. She knew that it was only a matter of time before he would get a bed, but for now, she was relieved to have something remain unchanged.

After watching her son sleep for a few moments, she walked down the hall, glancing into what used to be Zack's bedroom. It was now empty after she had his things packed up and sent to his new home.

Finally, she walked into the master bedroom. Patrick's clothes were piled on the bed and his shoes were stacked just like always in front of the closet. Next to the bed was a small table with photos from their wedding.

A single tear rolled down Emily's cheek as she pulled out the suitcases they received as a wedding gift and started piling his things into them. She could smell his cologne on his clothing; yet another reminder that things never stayed the same in this house.

The e-mail from Zack was sitting in Emily's mailbox, along with the reminder from Patrick to not skip her appointment for the doctor the next morning.

After packing the majority of Patrick's things, Emily changed into pajamas and curled in bed with her laptop. She opened her emails and caught her breath in her throat. She saw both emails, one from Zack and one from Patrick. First, she read the email from Zack. None of the words surprised her; he was the sweetest person she knew.

After wiping away tears from that experience, she opened the email from her husband. A smile crossed her face. For as overbearing as he was, she wouldn't want it any other way.

Lucas woke up and stood up inside his crib, rubbing his eyes, crying, having had a bad dream about never seeing his father or big brother again.

Emily crawled out of bed and went into Lucas' room, scooping him up out of his crib.

"Hey, little man, what's wrong? You hardly ever wake up n the middle of the night anymore."

She cuddled him close and let him lay his head on her shoulder while he sobbed.

"I know... it's hard. But we have each other, right? And your new baby brother or sister... we'll be okay."

"Daddy," Lucas said as he laid his tiny head on her shoulder and cried a few tears.

Emily's tears returned to her eyes, realizing just how much this was going to hurt Lucas.

"You know what? You should come sleep with Mommy tonight... I think we both need it."

Lucas started to yawn, feeling comfortable in his mother's arms. "Mama."

"Yeah... it's okay," Emily said, rocking him in her arms as she headed into her room. "It's you and me. We'll be fine."

Lucas started to get fussy as Emily carried him to the bedroom. He saw a picture of his picture and pointed at it.

"Dak!" Lucas said, wanting his big brother.

Emily exhaled and closed her eyes. She was starting to realize this wasn't going to work.

"Lucas, Zack isn't here... this has to be so confusing for you. Maybe we should move and start with a clean slate. This house obviously has way too many memories, huh?"

When Lucas continued to fuss, she set him on the bed and changed into some clothes she could wear out.

"Okay... one trip, but that's it."

Lucas was dressed in his blue overalls and tiny sneakers. He loved his blue overalls. He looked up at his mother as she dressed him as she talked about Zack, not understanding that he was gone.

"I hope you realize how lucky you are that I can't watch you be sad," Emily told Lucas as she lifted him up and brought him out to the car. "We'll go do this tonight, but after that, you're sleeping, got it?"

Lucas kissed her cheek as she put him into his carseat. He loved going for rides, especially when Patrick and Zack were with them.

Emily climbed into the driver's seat and started the car. Her urge was to go to the hospital and see Patrick, but she wasn't sure that was a good idea.

Lucas stared out the window, loving the sights they were passing. He was starting to get inquisitive about the world around him.

Emily's driving inevitably led them to the hospital. She hated herself for being this pathetic, but she just had to see him, even if he didn't know they were there. She parked the car and got Lucas out of the back.

"We're just going to go visit Steven and Emma, okay?" she told him, trying to be stronger than she felt.

"Daddy," Lucas said as he pointed at the hospital, where he knew Patrick always was.

"You're right," Emily sighed, realizing he was getting too smart. He knew what she was up to.

"We're not going to see Daddy, though. We're just visiting other people."

"You have way too much power over me, little guy," Emily said, carrying him inside and getting in the elevator. She pushed the button to go to Patrick's floor and waited.
