It had been a month and a half since the rape. Red was starting to be a bit more like herself. She only had the occasional nightmare and they weren't as intense as they had been.

The cook continued to work wonders in the kitchen, keeping everyone fed and happy.

Emma went to the kitchen office to find her girlfriend one night.

Red looked up and saw Emma. A smile unfolded on her face. The young brunette saw the spark in her lovers bright blue eyes.

She remembered the first time she noticed the spark had returned to the Red heads eyes. It was about two weeks earlier. Red had cooked a particularly good meal. Normally no one other than her girls complimented her on her cooking but that day she had quite a few others telling her the past was amazing. Emma noticed her eyes brighten a bit..not her normal self but close. Then later that afternoon it was visiting day. Uri, Red's son had come back to visit.

He had come a few weeks prior to the rape. Red told him she was with Emma. He was upset saying it was wrong, and that he was going to cut Red off now. He left in a angry rush and pushed passed Emma on his was out. Emma remembered giving her love a few minutes along before she went and found her standing in the kitchen with silent tears on her cheeks. It was hard for Red to see herself loosing her family.

That's why everyone was shocked when Uri showed after over two months. The prison had told him about the rape. Uri had been upset and worried but couldn't do anything. His beliefs were is beliefs and he was still angry with his mother. But he did keep tabs with Healy. Asking for updates but asking Healy not to tell Red. That's how Uri found out Emma was the one keeping her mom sane, the one who saved her, loved her and helped her back to being herself after the rape. Uri felt different about Emma now. He knew his mom must really love her, because she normally didn't let anyone in like that.

He remembered how his mom's face glowed as she talked of Emma. Her eyes full of love. That was what scared uri and pushed him away. Now he felt the need to go apologize to his mom..and Emma.

When Red was told she and Emma both had a visitor the women were confused. They walked together into the visiting room. Red let our a gasp when she saw her son. Approaching him, she hesitated and then relaxed as he gave his mother a hug. He shocked everyone when he hugged Emma too.

"I know all that happened...Healy called me." Uri started. "Didn't know what to do..I wasn't supposed to be talking to you after what you said you were doing with her. Pops said so."

Red tensed up about to start at her son.

"Matushka, let me finish." Uri interrupted. "I asked for updates from Healy. He said it was bad..that you weren't yourself...but then he told me about you." He said looking at Emma. "He told me how you were helping her and protecting her and..and loving her. I was so wrong Ma..I shouldn't have pushed you away. I can see how you two love each other. I know you love my mom Emma or you wouldn't have done all you did for her especially after the rape."

Red had tears pooling in her eyes. "What are you saying son?" She asked.

"I'm saying no one has the right to tell me not to be a part of my moms life just like no one has the right to tell you who you can love." Uri said.

"I accept you and Emma."

A sob ripped from Red's mouth..Emma gripped her hand as she felt her own eyes prick with tears.

It was the end of visiting then. Uri pulled his mom into a hug. She held him tight as tears were falling on both their cheeks. Then Uri hugged Emma. "Thank you." He said. She didn't need to ask what he was thanking her for. She just knew.

As Red and Emma walked out towards their cube, Red stopped and faced Emma. She kissed her deeply. "Chapel?" She asked.

Emma's eyes widened. "Are you sure my love?" She asked.

"So sure." Red said.

The two women entered the chapel. They began kissing. Red pulled Emma's clothes off and for the first time since the rape made love to the brunette. Emma allowed her tears to slip down her cheeks as she came. The Red pulled Emma up and started pulling of her own clothes. Emma slowly carefully kissed Red on her mouth making her way down.

"Tell me if you need to stop ok?" Emma said gently.

Red didn't speak. Instead she pulled down her pants and panties and pulled Emma down on her. She looked at Emma with so much love and trust.

Emma slowly made love to Red..watching for any type of fear. It didn't come. "I'm close." Red said quietly.

Keeping her tear filled eyes locked with Red's equally tear filled eyes, Emma curled her fingers inside her. Red came hard with a loud moan.

Emma pulled out and moved up to Red's face. Her eyes were shut tight. "Are you ok love?" Emma asked worried it might have been too soon.

Red opened her eyes and Emma gasped. For the first time since the rape, the spark had returned to Red's eyes.

"I love you so much." Red said thru a sob. Both women held onto each other as they cried. They knew as long as they had each other it was going to be ok.
