Emily was curled up in a tight ball on the bed watching her mother move about the room. She watched as JJ looked in on her every few minutes.
"Emily," Elizabeth brushed Emily's hair from her face. "I know your hurting, I don't understand the pain your going through I've never lost a child." Emily felt the hot tears run down her cheeks again. "JJ and Jaden need you." Elizabeth said kissing Emily's forehead she got back up and walked out of the room closing the door. Emily cried into her pillow.
A while later the door opened again but no one came in, or at least no one Emily could see. Then she got a wet nose to the back of her neck. She sighed and felt the bed move as Nico climbed up on the bed next to her. She rolled over and looked at him.
"Nico…" she whispered and he laid down next to her. Emily wrapped her arms around the dog and started to cry harder. Nico laid there letting Emily sob into his fur, he knew something was wrong, and without Merlin there to help he figured it was his job. He knew when Emily came home and didn't look at Jaden or him that something was off, He knew that after the 8th day of waiting for Izzy to come home that that's why Emily hadn't left her room in so long. When JJ stopped eating and was sleeping in Izzy's room he just wanted to help.
"Make her come back Nico." Emily cried. Nico didn't know what to do so he licked her face, when a small smile came across Emily's face he knew that maybe there was still some hope.
