So this is a sort of sequel to my other story, Not What They Expected. Every chapter will be an entry in the little book that Emily left for Callen after her death. The title of every chapter will be a song that will have something to do with their relationship. I hope you guys enjoy this sequel!

Ch. 1- Without you I Would Fall Apart – Song by Darin

When Callen found the little brown leather book, he couldn't help but smile. Even in death, Emily was still looking out for him. Written in her delicate handwriting, the first entry was a letter.

Callen,

If you're reading this- well, I'll spare you that cliché. It's a bit mad trying to write as if you aren't alive anymore. In fact, it has taken me a while to figure out exactly what I should tell you. I suppose the most important thing has to be that I love you, and that I'm sorry. After my last "death" I realized that I owed it to you to be here forever and to never leave you again. While I would like to believe in that forever, the realist in me knows better. So even if I can't be with you, I can give you this book in the hope that you will find solace in knowing that there will always be a part of me that is looking out for you. I realize how selfish of me this is, but you have to stay strong. We have two children who will have to go through something unimaginable. You have to be strong for them. Draw strength from the knowledge that I am here. That I will always be here.

I love you Callen. So much.
