Pairing: Emma/Shalimar

A/N: This is setafter the episode Inferno from Season 2. Shalimar risked her life to save Emma from the fire surrounding her. This is what happened after the event…

----------------------------------------

After the experience Emma and Shalimar had just encountered they were both lucky to be alive. On the Double Helix flying home Emma had the widest grin formed across her face and was looking at Shalimar. Shalimar could feel eyes burning in the back of her head so she turned round and caught Emma staring at her.

"Why are you staring at me?" Shalimar questioned…."and why are you smiling like that?"

"Just thinking what a hero you are to me, I mean you did save my life after all." Emma replied.

"Oh right, I see. Well it was nothing really anybody else would have done the same."

Emma looked puzzled, "Shal, you do realise that fire is your biggest fear and you overcome it."

"Yeah I suppose so, Emma you're my best friend you know I'd do anything for you." Shalimar smiled.

Emma stood from her seat and walked beside Shalimar, she bent down to give her a big hug. She whispered "I'm really grateful Shalimar, you don't know what it means to me. Thank you so much."

Emma pulled away and Shalimar looked at her, with the slightest evidence of a smile. "You're more than welcome."

With one final look Emma returned to her seat and the rest of the journey was spent in a comfortable silence.
