7 Lana's help

Ema woke and sat up stretching. She yawned loudly. She had finally gotten better on Thursday and was still left with three days until she had to return to work. She looked around for Apollo but didn't see him. He must have gone to the store or something. She got up and walked into the living room and smiled. Apollo was on the couch snoring with Alice the cat curled up on his chest. She went to the kitchen and began to fix breakfast. Apollo woke a small time later. He petted Alice's head and got up. He walked into the kitchen and saw Ema fixing crepes.

"When did you learn to cook ?" he said wrapping his arms around her.

"Cooking is a lot like science you know. I just figured it out. I use to eat these all the time when I was in Europe." she said thinking about her experiences there. She handed him a plate of the confections and they sat down to eat.

"So what do you want to do today?" Apollo asked taking a sip of his coffee.

"Well..." she said nervously. "I'd like you to meet my sister. If that's OK! I don't want to rush you or anything." she said becoming a bit frantic.

"Oh...Lana right?" he said remembering the case file he had read.

"Yea she wanted to meet for lunch today and I mentioned you and..."

"That's fine with me." he stated shrugging.

"Really?" she said brightening up.

"Yea, did you think I wouldn't." he said becoming worried.

"I mean, I don't know we've only been dating for a week or so and I thought you might get anxious about meeting my family and I don't want to pressure you or anything like that I just...I don't know." she admitted looking down.

"Em." he said smiling. "I am perfectly fine with meeting your sister, okay? So don't worry."

"OK." she sighed with relief kissing him briefly. They sat around the house playing with Alice until it was time for them to leave. They dressed and then left. They strolled through People Park until they saw Lana sitting on a bench. She waved and Ema waved back walking to the bench. Lana hugged her sister.

"Hey Lana." Ema said cheerfully hugging her again.

"Hey Ema." she said notching Apollo. "And who is this?" she said raising her brow eying Apollo.

"This is my boyfriend Apollo Justice." she said smiling wrapping her arm around his.

"Well it is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Justice." she said grinning. "Wait you're that new defense attorney right?"

"Yes I am." he said awkwardly. Ema giggled.

"Well why don't we go get something to eat."

"Can we get some sushi?!" Ema asked excitedly. She had just discovered a taste for it and had requested it whenever possible.

"Whatever you want." Apollo said wrapping his arm around her waist. She giggled again.

They soon arrived at the restaurant and sat down in a booth. Ema sat close to Apollo laying her head on his shoulder. Lana smiled brightly at the two of them.

"You know." Lana said getting their attention. "I have never Ema laugh and smile this much. She had gotten so bitter and depressed." she said frowning. "But now she's with you she seems happy."

"I am!" she said nestling up to him. She thought about all the excitement she use to have but then soured when she failed the to get a job in forensics and become cols ever since. Once Apollo came into her life and asking for her help she started to cheer up and when they started dating she felt happy again. She smiled looking at Apollo.

They chatted about their relationship, Lana and her new husband Jake, and Apollo working for Mr. Wright. Lana asked similar questions that Phoenix and Maya did but they didn't feel invasive or interrogating. She just was glad her sister was finally happy and wanted to know more. She did however spark an interesting conversation.

"So...have you guys had sex yet?" she asked with a tinge of curiosity and sisterly concern.

Apollo had gone to the bathroom.

"No, not yet."Ema mumbled blushing and looking around.

"Well you are basically living together right?" she said eying Ema.

"Well.. I guess...I mean Apollo sleeps over some times but like he doesn't live there." she fumbled trying to keep her composure.

"I was just asking. I wouldn't be mad if you were I'm just curious. I think he's a great guy. I mean he took care of you when you sick on his time off. He's really good for you Ema."

"I know, he is great isn't he." she asked smiling. Apollo walked back to the booth and hugged Ema.

"So Apollo would like to do some shopping with us?" Ema asked pulling at his arm.

"Sure that's fine." he said with a mouthful of sushi. They joked and talked for awhile then finished and left. They drove to the mall in Ema's car. Apollo intertwined their hands. Lana noticed smiling. WOW this guy really cares for Ema. They arrived shortly and went in. Ema dragged Apollo all over the mall buying multiple things. They arrived at the lingerie shop and Lana and Ema started towards the store.

"uhh...I think I'll wait out here." Apollo said becoming red.

"OK be back in a minute." Ema said entering with her sister. They looked around the store.

"Why don't you get something sexy for Apollo?" Lana whispered in her ear.

"Lana!" she said punching her sisters arm. She was now completely flushed red.

"All I saying is it might be a nice gesture that's all." Lana said moving to another part of the store.

"Lana is ridiculous. It's not like he'd go for this...I mean..' she mumbled to herself eying the undergarments. She sighed thinking about it. She caved and bought a few things. She walked out waving at Apollo and Lana sitting on a bench.

"Just keep that in mind." Lana said ending her conversation with Apollo.

"You guys ready?" Ema said walking up to them.

"Yep." Apollo said standing up.

"Do you need a ride home Lana?"

"No Jake is coming to get me." she said hugging her sister. "Well bye! Hope to see you soon."

They left the mall and went home. Apollo opened the door and Alice stood in the doorway looking up at them.

*Mew*

"Well hey there precious!" Ema said scooping her up. They entered the house and set all their stuff down. Ema plopped on the couch with Apollo behind her. They sat for awhile until they heard a knock at the door.

"I'll get it." she said going to the door. Gumshoe stood in the doorway.

"Hey Pal!" he beamed.

"Hi Gumshoe. What brings you here?" she asked.

"I was checking in seeing how you're doing." he said smiling.

"Well I'm feeling a lot better thank you." she said.

"I hope you will be back in to work Monday." he said looking away. " I need your help with something."

"I will be."

Gumshoe noticed Apollo sitting on the couch.

"Hey Jury! How are you doing?" he said.

"I'm doing alright detective." he said. It was pointless to correct him. Wright had told him many stories about Gumshoes mishaps on many cases.

"Well I'll let you get back to each other." he said leaving. Ema sat back down.

"Well it looks I'll have to go back to work Monday." she sighed.

"I as a defense attorney require some forensic assistance on Monday." he said pretending to be serious.

"And due to my non-restrictive schedule I may have to stay there ALL day to make sure all the tests are done." he said smiling. Her eyes brightened and she hugged him.

"I love you." she said kissing him.

"I love you too." he said holding her closer. They spent the rest of the night talking and cuddling. Ema yawned.

"I'm tired." she said heading towards the bedroom.

"I'll be there in a sec' Em" he said petting Alice then heading to the bedroom. Apollo sat on the bed playing with his hair. Ema came out of the bathroom wearing her new lingerie. Apollo's jaw hit the floor.

"What do you think?" she said seductively.

"Well...um...I.." he stuttered blushing completely.

"Come here Mr. Justice." she said kissing him passionately. They embraced and soon became intertwined. Alice looked at the two of them.

*Meow?*
