4, BACK TO GRACELAND

coming out of the airport was Emma, she was finally back in Graceland. she was on a summer break and she decided to spend it with her family.

she was welcomed by two black cars, and standing beside those black cars was a guy. he had blonde air and beautiful green emerald eyes, she was charming.

she smiled warmly at Emma, and she ran towards him and hugged him. "oh Steve, I missed you a lot."

hearing that, Steve smiled and hugged her back, "I've missed you too Em." they hugged passionately so that anyone walking passed them could tell they were a couple.

Steve was Emma's fiancee, although their marriage was arranged, they still got along well and just decided to be friends rather than enemies.

after they hugged, Emma got into the car and Steve drove off, with the other car following them at their back.

while driving, Steve couldn't help but look at her. it has been two years since he last saw her and now she was all grown up and looked more like a woman.

noticing his stares, Emma asked, "is there something on my face." hearing that, Steve quickly denied, "no..no..no. there is nothing on your face."

hearing that, Emma then said, "then why do you keep staring at me like that."

Steve blushed then said, "it's just that you have become more beautiful these past few years."

Emma, "oh really...I didn't notice (giggles) thank you for the compliment, but I'm not the only one that has become more beautiful."

a little confused, Steve said, "what do you mean by that." hesitating to talk, Emma finally said, "well... I'm sure Mary must have become a very beautiful woman too."

hearing that Steve busted into laughter, "well for once you are wrong...I haven't seen her in months but the last time I saw her, she was dirty and messy. she fought with some girls at the reunion party five months ago before she even showed herself."

hearing that, Emma smiled and said, "well that's just typical Mary right (laughs)."

after that, they chatted about some things and before Mary knew it, she was already at her destination.

Steve got down from the car and helped her out and also brought some of her things out for her.

then some of the maids came and carried the great inside.

coming out of the car, Emma asked Steve, "would you like to come inside for some tea.....I'm sure my parents will be happy to see you."

hearing that, Steve then said to Emma, "well I would love to.....but I have some work to do.....so let's talk later, I will call you."

hearing that, Emma understood and nodded, then steve hugged get and drove off.

after steve's car was out of sight, Emma then walked toward the house. she entered and was welcomed with a huge hug from her mom.

Maria welcomed Emma in with a huge smile and hug, "oh my baby is back.....ahhh I'm so happy to see you." Maria said while hugging Emma tightly.

seating down in a wheelchair was Hank Wilson, Mary's and Emma's father. after escaping the grip of her mom, Emma walked toward her father and gave him a warm hug.

Hank had an accident four months, and since then he has been using a wheelchair. he stayed at home and Maria had to take care of the business, a she has been in charge of the money ever since. that's why Mary can't get on the bad side with her unless she was gonna freeze her bank account.

Hank smiled and hugged Emma back, he was a man of few words so he didn't bother saying anything.

after she hugged her father, Emma went to sit down on one of the chairs. seeing this, Maria went ahead and sat beside her.

Maria then said, "why didn't you tell me you were coming, I had to find out about it from Steve.....do you know how embarrassing that was, 'jeez'. don't you know that if u had told me, I would have called Rachel and Mary and it will be like a little family reunion?"

sighing, Emma said, "that's the reason I didn't let anyone know that I was coming. I'm sure Mary and Rachel won't be happy to see me."

Maria, "what are you saying, I know that you, mary, and Rachel used to have some arguments years ago, but you guys were just teenagers then. but now you are an adult you have to put all those differences aside and start afresh."

hearing that, Emma smiled and said, "I've missed you Aunt." saying that she hugged Maria again.

[yeah, I know everyone will be shocked by Emma calling Maria her aunt. well let me tell you all a little story and secret about this little complicated family]

in the beginning, Maria and Hank were already engaged to be married, but Maria's twin sister 'Marianna' had feelings for Hank, so at their engagement party.

she drugged Hank's drink and Hank being in a horrible state ended up spending the night with her.

when everyone found out about it, we were disgusted to be Marianne, but the deed was already done.

Maria decide to forgive Marianne and hank since she loved them both, so she still got married to hank but after a week time, she found out that Marianna was pregnant and the child belonged to hank.

even with that, Maria didn't leave hank or hate her sister, instead, she accepted the baby which was Emma.

but Marianne knew she couldn't raise a child so she ran away with some money she stole and left Graceland and her baby.

Maria then decided to take good care of her niece and her child which was Mary. story cut short, mary and Emma were born on the same day and Emma isn't Maria's real daughter.

And everyone knew that including Emma, but she always thought of Maria as her mother since she breastfeed her and raised her, and gave her a home.
