Emily was still off sick, despite the fact that she had recently been declared to be in remission from Cancer. It actually really annoyed her. She was perfectly healthy and she honestly felt better. She couldn't understand why her doctors and Aaron wanted her to hold off going back to work. Yes she understood it was soon, but if she felt okay what was the issue? Not only did she miss Aaron she was actually getting jealous of him. He could do the job whilst she couldn't. It wasn't even that she couldn't. It was more she wasn't allowed.

The only advantage of it was that if he was on the way home she could always get him to pick up dinner for the family, or the two of them. Depending on his time of return. It was very helpful on this particular occasion seeing as she was really craving a curry.

This advantage actually made it all the more manageable that she was home while he was away. Not that she would usually use Aaron like this, but the fact he usually offered and was now keeping her off work even though she was desperate to return meant she didn't feel guilty over it.

It also gave her an excuse to spend some time with him once he'd returned from the case. Which often didn't happen when the team came back late as Emily would either already be asleep or he would be so tired he would go straight to bed.

"I got your curry." Aaron told her when he came back in.

"Thankyou Aaron." She answered and smiled weakly. "I missed you."

"I know you did honey. How have you been feeling?"

"Good. I just want to get back to work again."

"I know Em. Lets give it a couple more weeks first though."

"Do we have to?"

"Yes, we do." He told her.

Emily grumbled unhappily. "Aaron I'm fine." She protested.

"Em. I just don't want you to push too hard too fast." He answered.

"I know you don't Aaron." She replied. "Thanks for looking out for me."

"That's okay Em. It is my job." He told her. "I know how much you want to be back, I wouldn't be doing this unnecessarily."

"I know." She answered.
