Emma didn't like to think about Auntie Bridgit being sick. She remembered how she'd felt when Mac, Col and Seamoose all had the pox. She'd thought Seamus would never ever wake up.
"Is she gonna die?" Emma asked quietly, cuddling up close to Seamus. "I don't want her to die!" She burst into tears right then, sobbing as if her heart would break as she clung to Seamus. "It's not fair!"
She couldn't stop, not even when Seamus said he'd see her every week and that she could come to visit. The tears kept coming and coming until she couldn't breathe anymore.
