[b]Katie - Haywood - Emma[/b]

Katie studied the man thoughtfully. He seemed nice, and she really did want to take flowers to Emma...
"Okay," she finally said, taking his hand in her small one and walking with him.

It was about fifteen minutes later when they arrived at the house. Katie skipped along, flowers in her hand.
"Emma!" she cried out in a little girl sing-song voice. "Emma! I got something for you!" she called, holding out the flowers with one hand and pulling Rob along with the other.
She skidded to a stop in front of Emma. "I picked these for you. So you can be happy now, okay?" she said, offering the small bundle of flowers to her new friend.

[b]Jessalyn - House - Abram[/b]

Jess listened while Abram spoke of his daughter.
"I wish I'd had a Dad like you," she said and sighed. "I wish I could believe that, but I just don't know anymore. I seem to offend him all the time. I don't mean to, but I do. I just wish... I wish I could tell him that..."
Jess covered her face with her hands. "I try to get close and he pushes me away. I'm falling in love with him, but he just... I can't tell what he feels half the time. I'm scared to be in love like this, because if he doesn't feel the same, then I am just setting myself up to be hurt again. I wish I knew for sure."

She placed her hands on her stomach. "If I say something, if I confess my feelings, and he doesn't feel the same way, my heart will be broken and things will never be the same between us. I know I'm probably being selfish. I should be content with just having him here with me. But I'm not. Not anymore. I want to be more then just someone he is taking care of out of pity. I want to be [i]with[/i] him. I want him to be the father to my baby, because I want my child to be raised with the kind of fatherly love that I never had. Floyd doesn't think so, but I know he'll be a great father."
