"Something's up with Emmy" Harry stated to his wife as they both stood in the kitchen washing and wiping up after dinner "She's been very quiet since she came home from school"
"Maybe she's tired" Nikki tried to comfort Harry, she knew he worried about their only daughter. Harry nodded slightly and gave Nikki a small smile.

"Mummy? Daddy?" Emery asked quietly as Nikki pulled the duvet cover over her daughters body when she put her to bed. Harry poked his head in from the hallway and gave his daughter a smile.
"What's wrong baby?" Harry asked as he noticed his daughter was upset, he crouched down next to the bed and Nikki sat down on the bed.
"Do you cut up dead people?" the six year old asked quietly and Harry and Nikki exchanged a look
"Who told you that?"
Emery shrugged and fiddled with the corner of her duvet.
"Emery Nicola" Nikki warned her daughter "Who told you?"
"We was talking about jobs at school and I told evryone that you were pafologists" Emery muttered and averted her eyes to her hands "and James Hopkins asked what a pafologist was and someone else said they cut up dead people"
Harry sighed slightly and shook his head at Nikki who nodded towards their daughter.
"Emery" Harry started and made the little girl look at him "Mummy and I, we do a very important job okay? When a bad person does something nasty to someone else we have to work out how they did it and then we have to help the family of the…person who has gone"
"You don't cut them up?"
"Not in the way you are thinking baby" Harry replied and Nikki smiled at her husband, she thought he was handling the situation perfectly.
"You do?" Emery asked tearfully
"No" Harry shook his head, deciding for the easy way to deal with the situation, deny everything. "We just help the police"
"Okay" Emery nodded and Nikki leant over to kiss her before standing up and smiling at Harry gave him a kiss as well.
"Night night Emmy" Nikki whispered as she kissed her daughter again
"Night night mummy. Love you"
"Love you too" Nikki replied and walked out of the room.

"I think you handled that perfectly" Nikki told Harry asked she walked into the bathroom and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and pressed a kiss onto his bare back.
"Really?" Harry asked "I was hoping to keep our profession away from them for a while"
"I know" Nikki nodded as Harry turned around and wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed a kiss onto her lips and pushed her up against the bathroom wall as he kissed his way down her neck "Bed?" she hissed out.
Harry only nodded.
