Rachel smiled brightly at his own "Merry Christmas." There was something behind those kind eyes that spoke to her. She didn't understand what it meant, but she knew there was something there. He was moving towards the door slowly and Emily had started to sob. Concerned etched her features as she turned to look back. "Emily...are you okay?"
The sobs were stopped by a light laugh. "I'm fine," she said, lifting her head, standing and wiping her eyes. "Just relieved...and little one is reminding me that they're here."
Rachel let out a small laugh as Emily stood and placed her hands reflexively over her stomach. Rachel had remembered. Emily was going to be a mom, and she was going to be an aunt. Emily's eyes turned towards Iason and she began to walk towards them. Rachel looked between the two - the man who was about to leave and her sister and Emily approaching, her eyes kind and grateful.
