Prompt - You're All I Want, You're All I Need, You're Everything
Eight months, eight long and agonizing months since she'd walked out and it seemed like she was only starting to piece herself back together now. She had taken a few months off, taken Richelle and travelled. She'd asked Derek first and even though he had been reluctant to let her take Richelle out of the country, he'd given in but not before they fought one last time.
Eventually when she had come back things had settled down and she acted like nothing had changed.
Now though, with Derek standing in front of her begging for a chance to be a family again, all the little boxes she'd packed away in her mind were threatening to break and over flow. She looked at him, just standing there thinking how weird it was to see him on her doorstep.
"Emily, I want us to be a family again. We can work this out, I still love you. You and Richelle are my everything, I'm nothing without you two," Derek exclaimed, looking up at her with such hope and love in his eyes that Emily felt her heartbreak.
"Derek you know we can't, not after everything that's happened," Emily replied sullenly.
Derek was about to argue back when a figure appearing next to Emily stopped him. He was tall, dark haired and had ice blue eyes. His hand came to rest on the small of Emily's back as he looked between them concerned. Derek watched the pair closely before jumping to a conclusion that broke his heart. She had moved on, not even a year after they'd lost their child and she'd moved on. Derek shook his head in disgust before turning and walking away down the path.
"Derek please, it's not what you think," Emily called desperately after him. Derek just shook his head, not bothering to look back.
AN: I fear this little Derek, Emily, miscarriage storyline will be sticking around. This little saga just gets angstier...but hopefully it can all be happily resolved! CT. :)
