A/N – Okay, I'm back with something of a sequel for Where the Heart is! I really wanted to write this as a way to say thank you to the people who were so amazingly supportive of that story, with reviews and comments and recommendations and messages. You know who you are, and you rocked! So I really wanted to do something for you and answer the question of what happened next…so here's Where the Heart Is Now.

A couple of things - it's not going to be as long as the first story, it really is just some extra scenes that basically grew beyond what I had first intended. It's also about pregnancy and touches on abortion and adoption, and I want to say right up front that I'm not pushing an agenda – it's a story about choice, and the choices the characters in this story make are what I feel would be true to their characters and the situation. After all that…mostly I just want you to enjoy it, and I hope you love grown up Emmett and an (almost) grown up Monkey as much as I do. ~ Rebecca

Letter #1

I know you're there.

I can feel you, which is madness. You're the size of an apple seed, hidden deep down inside me, but the weight of you is like the whole world sitting on my shoulders.

I don't want you.

I'm sorry. I know that I'm the one who let this happen, and it's not your fault at all that you exist, but I don't have it in me to do what you would need from me. This wasn't supposed to happen now.

Go away. Go away. Go away.
