Here's a quick Emily/Doyle piece I wrote, enjoy!

Hey, evryone, guess what? You all have a little less than three weeks left to nominate stories for the second Annual Profiler's Choice CM Awards. The nomination ballot, rules and category summaries can be found at "Chit Chat on Author's Corner" forum. To reach that post please either take a trip to the forum OR links are provided on the profile pages of ilovetvalot, Profiler's Choice CM Awards AND tonnie2001969. Nomination ballots should be PM'd to the Profiler's Choice CM Awards ONLY. That link is also provided on the forum or the profile pages listed above. PLEASE REMEMBER, WITHOUT NOMINATED STORIES, THERE CAN BE NO AWARDS! SO, PLEASE, COME OUT AND SUPPORT YOUR FAVORITE FANFIC AUTHORS AND NOMINATE THOSE STORIES!

(And for the record, I'm posting this for Traicia, and not in an effort to try and get some of my stories nominated.)

"I would have said yes, had they not come to get me." Emily imagined herself saying to Doyle. If only she'd ever had the chance.

I can't believe that I would have said yes to a terrorist's proposal. But as screwed up as our relationship was, it was the most stable one I've ever had.

"I kept the ring so that I could remember all the good times; with Declan."

My scars do a good enough job reminding me of you.

"I hate that I had to tell them about Declan."

And I only told them after I made sure that he was safe. I never wanted him to get hurt.

"I lied, saying I couldn't love Declan. If anything, I love that little boy more than I ever loved you."

How could I have loved you? You were so wrong for Emily. But I wasn't her, I was Lauren. You only loved Lauren. I was only Emily when I was with Declan. I was only Lauren when I was with you. You loved a lie; you loved someone that doesn't exist.

Emily tipped the drink back and thought about what she'd say to Ian Doyle if only she ever had the chance.

Ian, I had to turn you in, to save Declan. After you said you'd raise that boy to be a warrior, I had to. I couldn't let him live your life. And you would have done everything possible to get rid of me, had I threatened to take Declan and keep him from the very life that you had wanted him to live.

"I love that you love your son. Declan is the only reason I hesitated as long as I did, to turn you in."

Yes Ian, I turned you in, even though I love you.

Please review!
