"You had a baby last year?" the doctor asked Emma.

Emma sat in a hospital bed and slowly nodded.

"yes." She answered.

"You were... attacked, last year? By a boy?" the doctor asked slowly and watched as Emma took in a deep breath.

How'd she know?

Emma woke up in the hospital, last thing she remembered was Mia. She must of fainted. Woke up here, and this Doctor was asking her questions.

"Yes." She answered and then saw a figure come in slowly.

Jay.

He kept his eyes off of her though and Emma swallowed the cry in her throat. Him. He knew.

"Emma, were you attacked again recently?" The doctor asked, tilting her head to catch Emma's attention again.

"Mhm..." Emma said, this time her eyes off everyone.

The doctor nodded and explained, "I talked to your parents... we thought that maybe it'd be best you went away and got help."

"I don't need help." Emma fought.

"Yes you do." Jay finally spoke up and held his eyes hard on hers. Emma felt weak and sighed.

The doctor told her, "You get anxiety, bad ones. It's when you've experienced something traumatizing." she told Emma, "This place your going to, will teach you how to move on, be healthy and deal with it."

"Ok."

"Let me begin by saying this isn't even the start of your recovery... it's going to take time." The doctor confirmed, standing up with her little chart in her hand.

"I know." Emma whispered.

"You'll be flying to Arizona tomorrow morning..." she said, both and Emma and Jay felt a tug but Emma nodded slowly.

Arizona.

Arizona?

How long?

The doctor nodded at her, then Jay, and then left the two in there to probably go talk to her parents.

Jay went to her bed and sat down next to it, "You alright?"

Emma moved so her legs hung on the edge of the bed, feet touching the floor and running her hands through her hair.

"Arizona?" she finally said outloud.

He nodded slowly looking down, he knew it was far. But she needed help. "I know." He whispered.

"I don't think you do." Emma said shaking her head and looked at him so desperately his heart cracked, "Jay how am I suppose to do this alone?" she cried.

He stared up at her from his chair and then put his finger tips on her chin, leaning her down and leaning only a little up to press his lips onto hers.

Nothing passionate, just sweet and tender, slow. Emma kissed back after a moment and caressed her lips against his.

They stopped, yet didn't pull away nor open their eyes.

"You were never alone." Jay whispered to her, playing with a piece of her hair, "That's what I've been trying to tell you all along." He opened his eyes.

"That..." Emma drifted, that kiss. What was that? "Why's everything so confusing..." she drifts.

"Just a goodbye kiss." Jay insists, he needed to do it. Needed to feel her again, needed her to feel that... that feeling they both got when they kissed. It was beautiful, it was soothing, it was safe.

He wanted her to feel safe.

Emma was already feeling a little better.

"Please...call me. For real this time." Jay begged Emma who looked at him and nodded. He took her hand softly and guided her towards him and into his lap.

She curled up into his arms and finally took a deep breath, laying her head on his shoulder.

"I will." She promised. She closed her eyes and for once, felt tired. Felt... something. Felt safe.

"I love you, Emma. More than anything." Jay whispered in her ear, holding her tighter, his hand still around hers.

She opened her eyes and stared at it. Where did they go so wrong?

Jay reached in his pocket and took her hand into his other, as he slipped something on her finger.

Emma saw it, her pearl diamond wedding ring.

"Where'd you find that?" Emma asked, sitting up more in his lap and he smirked up at her.

"In your coat pocket." He said as he reached into his coat pcoket, "Kept mine too..." he put it back on.

Emma stared down at their hands and he tilted his head, curiously wondering what was going on in that head.

"Doesn't have to mean something Emma. I just don't want us hiding anything from another anymore." Jay swallowed hard, "When I found out about Peter and Lakehurst-"

Emma shut his mouth with her hand and then admitted, "I do.. love you too." She confirms and he softened as she let go and explained, "I'm just really confused. But I still want it." She said, playing with the ring, "Just don't know what to do with it."

"we'll figure it out after." He kissed her shoulder, "Just get better."

Emma looked back at him and nodded. She got back into his arms and snuggled more, drifting to the best slumber she's had in months.
