Monday

Chris

I yawned glaring at my alarm clock. "Happy Birthday!" Mom exclaimed. I groaned turning on my other side. "Come on, man. You have to work!" Scott exclaimed as well. I rolled my eyes and stretched waking up. "Mom! There's a nice lady by the door!" Shana hollered running up the stairs. "Happy Birthday Chris!" She exclaimed hugging me. I smiled and hugged her back. "Chris! There's a lady by the door!" Carly yelled. I laughed getting out. "Alright! Alright!" I hollered pulling away. "Go guys!" I ordered getting in the closet and changing. I got out fixing my hair and walked down the stairs to see the back of the woman. "Emily?" I asked frowning. "She's Emily!?" Mom shrieked. We cringed. "Sorry... I just didn't think you'd be so pretty." Mom commented smiling. "T-Thank you." She said smiling. "Is that your bike out front?" Carly asked looking through the window. "Yes, it is." She replied smiling. "Marry me?" Scott asked taking Emily's hand. I glared as Emily laughed." Sorry, love. I'm taken." She replied smiling. "By Chris?" Mom asked raising a brow. I shook my head. "No, sorry. I'm not taken by your son, Mrs. E." She replied smiling. I sighed inwardly. Why did I let her go? "Oh my! I'm sorry. I just thought you were his since you came here with that box." Mom replied smiling. Emily blushed shaking her head. "This is uhm... Yeah, his gift from me, but we're only friends." She replied smiling. I smiled remembering the last time she was embarrassed with me around.

*Flashback*

Last Month Together: Emily was memorizing lines from Supernatural while cooking.

"Ems?" I called through the apartment. "Yeah?" She asked hollering. I raised a brow and followed the smell. I smirked seeing Arthur reading while Emily cooked and recited her lines.

Dean, shut up. You aren't permitted to speak.

No, just shush! This is between me and Cas!

No, Cas. You hurt me and I won't stand here and watch you suck faces with a demon!

You know what, I'm leaving.

No, Dean! Shut for a minute and let me explain.

I can't watch the man... angel I like being snatched away alright! I'm leaving him not you guys. I...

Thanks guys. Just don't call the ass when I'm in the room, alright?

Arthur looked after Emily finished and smiled. I put a finger on my mouth and he nodded. I silently walked towards her and hugged her toward me. She gasped, jumping. I smiled and kissed her shoulder. "Chris?" She whispered still cooking. "It's cold." I lied. She blushed smiling.

*End of Flashback*

I smiled as Emily linked our arms and pulled me out. "I'll buy him breakfast on the way!" She hollered as I finished brushing. "Have fun! We'll see you around Chris!" Mom hollered as Emily me out the door. I closed the door and Emily sighed in relief. "You told your mom about me?" She asked. I smiled rubbing the back of my neck. "Well, yeah. You are after all the most beautiful girl I dated." I replied honestly. "Is that how you pick up girls? Tell them their beautiful and if the need for commitment is rising, you leave them?" She asked glaring. I sighed shaking my head. "There is just no forgiving with you, is there?" I retorted. She sighed as well pinching the bridge if her nose. "I forgave you a lot of times, Chris. I really did, but the memories will never ever be forgotten. The sorrow and pain of it will always scar me." She replied giving me the box. I smiled taking it. "Thanks." I said opening it to see a cap. "The twins choose it." She replied crossing her arms. "What?" I asked. "Are we going or not?" She asked looking away. The tint of red on her cheeks gave her calm away. "Let's go." I said putting the box in my bag and wore it.

"You can't actually drive without this one on." She said handing me a helmet. I smiled removing the cap and putting it in my bag then got the helmet and wore it. I got on the bike then I felt arms around my torso. "Where to?" I asked. "Tapping, Chris. Don't get any funny ideas." She replied laying her head on my back. I smiled and started it. It's been so long since we did something like this. We reached taping and we both removed our helmets. "Happy birthday, birthday boy!" Robert exclaimed as I got off and helped Emily. I wore the cap and walked towards my trailer "Make it fast you two! We're starting!" Joss hollered. I smiled wearing the Captain America costume. I quite like it since it shows off my ass. I walked out as Annie and Miranda were done doing everything they needed to me. "And our favorite hero is out! Alright everyone, scene 27, Lorelei trying to calm Cap down after Loki knocks him down in London. Emily, position yourself behind him over there." Joss ordered as I positioned myself beside the wall. She nodded and stayed behind me. "Alright, three... two... one... ROLLING!" He exclaimed as we went into position.

I sighed rubbing my face and walking out through the glass doors. I know something was not right. I looked around and made sure no one was following and walked towards the prohibited side of the helicarrier. I tried to open the door. "Need a hand, Captain?" Agent Melodi asked behind me. I turned to see a different woman. Emily, did look amazing in that green dress and ginger hair.

"Who are you?

My name is Lorelei, Captain Rogers.

Lorelei? You're not from around here are you?

*chuckles* Oh dear no, Odin forbid. I'm from Asgard.

Are you related to Thor by any chance?

No, but I am connected to Loki.

*clench fists* What is your relationship with that psycho?

Watch your tongue, human. I'm just here to calm you down."

She walks towards me into my personal space and caressed my cheek.

"Shhh, now Rogers. Don't let the lonely god get into your head.

*closes eyes* Who are you, really? *enjoys moment*

I'm an Asgardian woman whose trying to protect the man she loves. *tear drops fall from her face*

Why are you crying? *feeling light-headed*

Shhh, you'll wake up forgetting about your hatered towards my king."

I closed my eyes collapsing.

3:30pm

"AND... CUT! NICELY DONE EVERYONE! Let's go on break. Tom I want you to start practicing lines with Chris Hems." Joss said smiling. Tom and CH nodded as they sat by the corner. Emily took my hand and pulled me towards the food table. "Which ones do you want?" She asked smiling. "I'll get spaghetti." I replied raising a brow. She smiled and handed me a plate with chicken on it to. We ate in laughter as Robert and Scarlett joined us. We talked about how ridiculously annoying being it is to be trap in traffic, get stood up by dates, and the most annoying of all, the paparazzi! "Well, what's your experience with stand up dates?" Robert asked Emily. She blushed bitting her lip. Don't do that... "Well when I was tenth grade and well, Benedict, my best friend, he uh... *chuckles* introduced me to this other friend of his, Mark. He was great really and I started to fall for him and he asked me to the school dance and well, I waited for him for an hour in my house and Benedict came instead because that asshole went to the dance with Kiera Mendez. Benedict left me alone on the corner when his crush came. She was his date apparently. I had none. I wasn't exactly pretty when I was in high school nor am I now." Emily replied glaring. She missed her first school... dance... I looked up and everyone was actually there listening. "I know my birthday wish." I stated grinning. "And what would that be?" Scarlett asked.

"We're celebrating my birthday tonight and giving Emily her first dance back!" I exclaimed smiling. "I guess we could end early today since it's your birthday." Joss said smiling. "Chris, don't waste your birthday wish on me." Emily said a bit shyly. "Oh come on! I can choose what to do with the wish I have and I want to spend it on you. You're my... friend after all, right?" I asked smiling at the almost confession. Robert teased me with his eyebrows. "Fine... You're buying me a dress." She mumbled as everyone Awwwwed the blush on her cheeks. She's adorable when shy. "Well, come on then!" I exclaimed pushing her towards her trailer and running in mine and changed quickly. I want this day to be special for her.

4:50pm

Emily

"You really didn't have your first dance?" Tom asked as he accompanied me in my trailer. "Joss will start to notice our relationship and we'll be forced to stop working together, I don't want that." I whispered worried. Tom wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek. "He won't, I promise... I really hope you don't get me too jealous in Chris's party." He mumbled as he got my coat and wrapped it around me. I smiled hugging him tightly. "I'm all yours tomorrow, but today, I'm going to be Chris'." I replied smirking. He frowned and pulled my closer. "Making me jealous now won't help you in the future." He whispered blowing my my ear. I shivered and placed my hands on his chest. "Mr. Hiddleston, you have to be a patient man if you are to stay with me." I said smiling. "If you say so, Miss Stan, as long as I am to have you all to myself tomorrow." He whispered leaning in for a kiss. I smiled as he captured my lips softly and our mouths moved in sync. I love how he's so monstrous tall, but sweet and soft on the inside. We pulled away slowly still kissing in the process. We opened our eyes just enjoying our little moment while we still can. "I'll see you tomorrow." I whispered smiling. He nodded and kissed my nose.

I looked out to see no one was looking and Tom went out. "Emily!" Chris hollered towards a van. I raised a brow and saw everyone in it. I smiled and sat between Chris and Robert. Tom and CH were behind us, Jeremy and Scarlett were in the front seat, Cobie, Samuel, and Clark sat at the back and Mark was driving. "Tom, Robert, and I are going to help Emily with her clothes. Mark, Scarlett and Jeremy you're in charge with food. Cobie, Clark, and Samuel, you guys go look for a venue then reserve it and add the necessary decorations. After all of you are done we'll change and meet up in the venue. Alright guys, let's go!" Chris exclaimed smiling. The van stopped and we all went out stretching. "Disguises on." Chris whispered as he put the cap I bought him on. That one was different from the gift he's receiving from Tom. Chris took my hand and pulled me towards a fancy dress store. "Good afternoon, mam, sirs. What can we do for you today?" The blonde girl asked smiling. "We'd like to help our sister here find a dress for a dance party. Would you mind helping us?" Robert asked smiling.

"Of course, sir. Mam, please follow me." She said smiling. I smiled shyly and followed her. "What style do you want, mam?" She asked showing me an aisle of dresses. They were all pretty and all, but another thing I forgot to tell them... I hated dresses with a passion ever since that day. "I uhm... I'll have a look around." I mumbled as the three followed me around. STOP TAILING ME AROUND! I'm embarrassed. "Emily?" Tom asked. I gulped and turned his way. He smiled warmly and took my hand in his as he lead me to a different rack of dresses. "You boys stay here or at least go find a seat." Tom ordered before we left them. "You never liked dresses." He stated as we looked around some more. I blushed as we stopped at a rack. I think these dresses would look absolutely lovely on you." He whispered and I looked up to see long beautiful dresses of different shades and designs. I smiled at him as I felt eyes on us. "They're looking, aren't they?" I asked looking through the dresses. "Yes, choose top five you want to wear. We'll look at the shoes and accessories later." He said smiling. I smiled and choose a royal blue, nature green, purple, and yellow dress to try on. "Mam, if I may?" The woman asked smiling. I looked at her tag to see her name was Jane. "Yes?" I asked as Tom went ahead. "Here, this would look amazing on you." She said handing a fiery red dress. We walked towards the changing room and he waited outside.

I tried the yellow one on and it looked pretty amazing, but I hated backless dresses. I went out smiling. The Chris and Tom lost their words. "What?" I asked nervously. "Twirl." Robert said smiling proudly. I smiled rolling my eyes, but twirled. "Nope, backless is to showy for a dance. Go try on the others." He commented smiling. I smiled and did what I was told. I tried the green one on next. It looks amazing and I like it! The ruffles on its sleeves looked so cute. I went out a bit embarrassed. It was sleeveless, but ruffles surrounded it. "The ruffles are cute, but it does not suit you." Robert commented again and the two men were speechless again. I tried on the purple and I didn't really like it so I discarded it. I tried the royal blue one. It fit so well and the leg side was open. I smiled because it looked like my dress as Lorelei, but it was blue and had silver outline the crossed chest if the dress. It was quite good. I went out and Robert grinned. "Not bad, but we have one more dress, yes?" He asked smiling. I chuckled rolling my eyes. I removed the royal blue one and tried on the fiery red one. Oh my gosh! It looks wonderful! It fit me just right! It was a sleeveless turtleneck and the lower part had ruffles outlining the end! I'm buying this and the royal blue one! I went out and Robert's shades and jaw dropped. "That looks amazing on you, mam." Jane said smiling. I mouthed a thank you and she smiled nodding and walking away. I smiled shyly as every man in the shop turned to look at me. "I'll go change." I mumbled walking back in the changing room. "Alright, back off." I heard Robert said behind me. "No, you have to wait outside, sir." Tom retorted. Chris came and unclasped the dress. "Hey!" I exclaimed swatting his hands away. "Emily, I've seen you naked and men outside want to see that so I'm here helping you get faster so we can get the hell out of here." He replied turning around. "I won't look." He mumbled as I saw his cheeks burn up. "Chris, you're a thirty year old man. You don't have to be embarrassed around me." I replied taking the dress of and putting my jeans and shirt back on. I side glanced to see him peeping trough his hands. Let him have his fun and don't be flattered. Oh who am I kidding!? Of course I'm flattered! "So which ones are you going to buy?" He asked as I tied my sneakers. "Royal Blue and Fiery Red." I replied as we walked out and he guarded me. I missed him, but I'm with Tom now. He's the better man... I hope. We paid at the counter and Jane gave me a discount plus a small bag. I'm going to check it later.

We ran out the store and walked fast towards the shoe department. I immediately found a pair of black wedge and white pumps. I got an extra rubber shoe when they weren't looking, but I know Chris saw me take the high-cut converse David Tennant uses, the red one. We walked out quickly again and headed towards the jewelry shop. I liked jewelry, but not the shiny ones. I love bracelets and rings, but never the shiny ones. "Good afternoon mam and sirs. What are you looking for?" Renee asked smiling. "Renee!" I exclaimed hugging her from her counter. She laughed and hugged me as well. "Get back to work!" A woman ordered behind me. I looked to see a mean looking, mid-thirties professional woman. We pulled away and I raised a brow as Renee blushed after their eye contact. I had wide eyes as I saw their connection. "Guys, I can do my jewelry shopping from here, can you men go around for a bit? Meet me here in like... fifteen minutes?" I asked smiling pleadingly. "Alrighty, you better have jewelry by then. Here, use this to buy." Robert said handing me 300 bucks. I smiled and hugged him. "See you guys later." I whispered pulling away and turning towards Renee. She was still blushing trying to look away from the boss. "You fancy her?" I asked raising a brow. Her blush darkened. "You're together!?" I asked whispering. She nodded and lead me to the sets. "Would you look at that! You got someone before me." I pouted as she chuckled handing me a set of silver. "Oh my! These are gorgeous." I gasped at the beauty. "This one would suit you too, mam." The boss said smiling. "Take care of her, alright?" I asked smiling. She nodded and secretly took Renee's hand in hers.

"I couldn't dream of hurting her." The boss whispered as they both helped me with the silver sets. "The one Renee choose earlier suits you more. We'll give a discount." Agatha said smiling. I smiled and thanked her. "Whose your boyfriend from those three men? Was it Robert Downey Jr., or Chris Evans?" Renee asked as I paid her. "It's Tom Hiddleston." Agatha whispered in her ear after looking around and seeing no one was looking. I blushed and smiled. She gasped covering her mouth. "Y-You're with a british man while your crush since forever was in the room?" She asked frowning. I felt my neck and ears burn up as well. "You were with Chris for awhile I presume. Tom is his replacement, yes?" Agatha asked smirking. I nodded as I felt three eyes on me. "They're here, call me and we'll hangout or if you just want to talk." Renee whispered slipping a piece of paper in my hand. I smiled and hugged her one more time before Robert pulled me away. "We're making a run for it. Paparazzi saw us." Robert said carrying me bridal style. I shrieked covering my mouth. Tom chuckled and took me from Robert. "I'm taking this moment." Tom whispered carrying me closer to him. I smiled and laid my head on his chest and wrapped my arms around his neck. We ran out the mall to see Mark in the van. We ran in as the paparazzi ran after us. "Go! Go! Go!" Chris exclaimed as we moved and he closed the door. "Is everything ready?" Chris asked after taking his breath. "Yeah, just waited for you guys." Clark replied smiling. "Let's go then!" Robert exclaimed excited. I chuckled as I shut my eyes. I feel so worn out.

7:30pm

I woke up to see Robert and Chris fell asleep on me. I was laying my head on Chris's shoulder and he was laying his cheek was laying on my head while Robert laid on my lap. "We're here everyone." Jeremy announced as most of us yawned and woke up. Chris grinned and I got off him as he opened the door. "Not bad, come on." He said offering a hand. I smiled and took it as he helped me out and carried my purchases. "Emily, you're changing with us. Thank you, Chris." Scarlett said smiling and taking the shopping bags from him. "Don't worry. She'll be out in two." Cobie said smiling. I laughed as we reached the bathroom. "Change. Now." She ordered pushing me towards the stall. I smiled and changed quickly. I wore the red dress with black wedge plus the silver. I went out cautiously and both women gasped. Scarlett had a purple dress on while Cobir had a white one. "You look amazing!" Cobie exclaimed and Scarlett nodded. "Now, her make-up." Scarlett said as they started applying some on me. I opened my eyes to see how different I looked. "Wow." I mumbled grinning. "Come on, let's go." Cobie said handing me the small purse. I smiled and opened the small token to see a letter, a pair of earrings, and box. I got box out and opened it to see a ring.

Wear this ring to promise yourself you'll guard your heart

I smiled and wore it. "Ready?" Cobie asked smiling. I laughed and we went out in order and I was the last. Arthur, Kier, Sebby, Nao, and Alana smiling at me. Aw! Who invited them!? "I did." Chris whispered handing me a drink. The girls left to dance with their men. Everything went on perfectly. I danced with everyone, but Chris pulled me away from the party when everyone started to get tired. We talked about everything. "You know, I love ice cream!" Chris exclaimed sipping his drink. "I know that, dumb, dumb!" I exclaimed as we watched Arthur and the twins run around. "Emily?" Chris's tone got lower. I turned to look at him to see he was so close. "You're in my comfort zone." I commented, but did not move. "I know." He replied taking my hand in his. "Tom is going to kill you." I whispered chuckling. "I don't care at the moment." He replied smiling. "I'm going to kill you." I whispered smiling. "Kill me a thousand times and I'll come crawling back." He whispered cupping my cheek. My breath hitched and I side glanced to see everyone passed out. "No one would know." He whispered as our lips touched. "Chris..." I trailed off as he captured my lips. Bad Emily! Bad Emily! Why are you enjoying his kiss!?

Because you love him more, dumb, dumb!

He deepened the kiss and I bit back a moan. He smiled and we pulled away slowly. "This is our little secret." He whispered kissing me again. I couldn't help it! I'm always drawn to him! Seeing him with another woman makes my heart ache! Thinking about him causes butterflies in my stomach! I love him!

Push him away now before it gets any worst!

Damn it! Right! I pulled away slowly and positioned my hands on his chest and gave a little push. He sighed smiling. "I just wanted one last kiss from you before I let some other guy take you. You deserve better than me, and I'm sorry for being such an asshole for the past years. Emily, I... L... like you and I really want you to become my friend." He said smiling. There was a tint of sadness there. "Yeah, we can be friends." I replied smiling. I was hurt to you know! This is like the fifth or sixth time already! "Mom?" Kier asked taking my hand. "Yes, love?" I asked as Chris let my hand go. "I think I have fever." He replied smiling. I smiled and checked his forehead. "You're burning up! Since when were you feeling like this?" I asked worried. "Just now, mom." He whispered collapsing on me. I caught him and carried him kissing his forehead. "Let me." Chris whispered taking Kier from me. I smiled and called Nao and Art. "Aw, we're leaving already?" Art asked frowning at Chris. "Arthur, calm down. We're just taking you three in a room so we can bring these other people to their rooms as well." I replied as Naomi reached for my hand. I smiled and we all walked towards the elevator. It dinged, we got off and lea the three to my room. "Change the towel on his head after thirty minutes. When I get back, we'll order room service, alright?" I asked smiling. Art nodded as Naomi laid beside her brother. "I wanna be a doctor when I grow up." She mumbled falling asleep. I smiled and kissed her forehead. I checked my watch.

12:30am

I went walked out to find Chris having a hard time with CH. I silently laughed and helped him carry CH towards his room. We exhaled as CH dropped on the bed. "One down, five to go." Chris said huffing. I chuckled as we smiled and wet down to see Robert trying to get Clark and Jeremy to wake up. I smiled and poked his side. He frowned and turned to see it was me then smiled. "I'll help you both to get these people to their rooms then I have to leave. My wife is getting worried." He said smiling. We nodded and I got Tom to wake up a bit and I lead him to his room while the two got Scarlett and Cobie to wake up as they helped them get to their room. I opened the door as Tom nuzzled my neck. I smiled and kissed his cheek when we got inside. I closed the door and helped him lay on the bed. He groaned then laughed. I smiled at how adorable he was. "I'll see you tomorrow." I whispered kissing his cheek, but he moved and he pulled me closer as we kissed. I felt guilty, but his kiss was so sweet. We pulled away and he kissed my forehead. "Emily, I really do fancy you... I saw you kissed Chris while ago." He whispered wrapping an arm around my waist. I blushed guilty. He smirked and kissed my nose. "I'll let this one pass since it's his birthday, but if tries something on you again... I'm not going to forgive." He whispered caressing my cheek. I blushed nodding. He smiled and we kissed again. I really do fancy him to, but I can't love him. I want to, but I really can't. We pulled away slowly and he kissed my cheek. "Your children need you." He whispered smiling. I blushed and I slowly got off him. "See you later." I whispered pecking his lips. He smiled and fell asleep. I smiled and went out to see Chris and Robert panting. "What the hell happened?" I asked raising a brow. "Clark and... Jeremy... They were so heavy..." Robert replied smiling. I laughed and they joined in. "I'm going to go. Emily, walk with me." He said smiling. I nodded as I walked past Chris. Robert and I walked towards the elevator. "You know you're hurting both you and Tom, right?" He asked as we leaned on the wall. I sighed and nodded.

"I can't help myself around him." I whispered feeling guilty. "I know you can't, but you have to just stay friends with him. Tom is your boyfriend and you said yourself that you like him. No offense to Chris, but Tom is a better match for you. You need someone that treats you like a proper lady for once. I know most of the men in your life, all actually depend on you and you don't have time for yourself. He'll be the man that'll treat you like a queen." He replied as we got off the elevator. I smiled and felt tears come down. He smiled and hugged me. "I'll let you talk to my wife some time, ok?" He asked soothing me. I smiled in reply and took in deep breaths. "Shhh, it's alright." He whispered as his wife waved at him. "See you later." He whispered pulling away and I nodded walking towards the elevator. I curled up and cried. I hate self-loathing, but I can't stop. "Emily?" Arthur asked as the elevator opened. I looked up and I couldn't stop crying. He pulled me out and we walked towards my room and he closed the door gently as we walked towards the balcony. "Did Chris hurt you again? Tell me. I'll beat him up." He said worried. I smiled and shook my head. "No, Art. He didn't do anything... I just feel so guilty. I don't regret any of your three, but I regret kissing Chris awhile back. Tom is hurting and I couldn't do anything about it. I just... I just want to say sorry to Tom." I whispered covering my head. I felt arms on my shoulders. "Shhhh, we love you, mom. If you want Tom then stay with him, but our twins need a father. It's your decision whether Chris is their father or Tom. I honestly think Tom could be the better father." He said resting his head on top of mine. I chuckled wiping my tears. "You just called me mom." I whispered caressing his hands. "After all those things I said, you concentrated on that?" He asked shaking his head. "I'm so happy! You called me mom!" I exclaimed smiling. "Emily, I was serious though." He said smiling. I sighed kissing his cheek. "I know, love. You made my day already. Let's get to sleep." I whispered standing up and Arthur rode my back. We dropped on the bed and Kieren laid on my shoulder. Arthur turned his back and we fell asleep with my sniffing.
