Aaron walked in from work that day smelling something coming room the kitchen. Emily must be baking which also meant she had to be feeling ok today.
"What are you baking gorgous?" Aaron asked her, entering the kitchen where Emily was sitting at the breakfast bar browsing the internet.
"Cookies." She responded, looking up from the laptop and getting off the Chair to hug Aaron. "You back early, everything ok?" She asked; it wasn't normal for Aaron to be back from work by 3pm.
"Everything's great, we just haven't got any cases right now and I wanted to see you so I left early and took my paperwork to do here." He responded, hugging her back. "How long till the cookies are done?" He asked her.
"About 5 minutes." She responded smiling. "Would you like one?" She asked.
"Yes Em. I would love one." He replied, relesing the hug. "How are you doing?" He asked her.
"Good, I've been feeling ok today." She answered. "One of Harry's friends is coming round for tea tonight." She suddenly remembered and told him.
Aaron sighed, he really didn't think Emily should be allowing the boys to have friends round while she was sick with cancer and she was likely to be the only one in. For a start she needed to rest and what if something happened? "Good thing I'm home early then." Aaron responded. "Is that why your baking cookies?" He asked.
"That and I got bored." She told him. "Why can't I work?"
"Because Em darling, with all the treatments it's better you just rest until they are over; even on good days." He told her, hugging her once more. "You can go back to work when the doctor confirms your in remission and you don't need more treatment." He continued.
Taking in his warmth Emily sighed, what if she was never going to get better? The chances of living were good as they had caught it early but the thought she may die had never slipped from her mind.
