Part 6
He watched her as she entered the kitchen, covered in her black robe and whatever she had on underneath. She was a picture, beautiful and perfect, even with her flaws for those made her human. She almost glided across the floor and floated into one of the many table chairs. He watched as she pulled her feet up under herself and accepted the cup of green tea that was handed her to via Shalimar. He watched as Shalimar picked up her own cup from the counter and said something to the beautiful red head before slipping into the chair across from her. He heard her laugh, a genuine, truly happy laugh, with her head pushed back and everything. And from that laugh he saw the sparkle in her eyes. Pushing himself off of the couch he made his way into the kitchen and towards her. Shalimar looked up and over her friends shoulder to see him and stood to leave without a word. He stepped up behind her and leant down until he was whispering in her ear.
"Morning, Emma, sleep well?" She shifted her head to look at him. This time the sparkle in her eyes didn't disappear, faltered a little, but didn't disappear like it had been doing for the past week whenever he talked to her.
"Brennan." She greeted him almost forcefully and nodded towards the chair that Shalimar had previously occupied. Brennan accepted her invitation before she could change her mind and dropped into the chair.
"Tea?" She offered and he could feel how unconvertible she was and how hard she was tried not to show it. He felt like someone had punched him in the stomach at that moment, it had never been about trying or pretending before, they use to be perfectly convertible with each other.
"No, thank you." Brennan told her, there was only a handful of people that he was ever polite to and she would always be one of them.
"So," She said wanted nothing more then to the leave room and his intense stair.
"So, is this what we've become, Emma?" He couldn't help but asked her. She didn't get him at first but soon understood the meaning of his words.
"I don't know, Brennan," She told him truthfully and if her truthfulness hadn't been enough to make him smile the fact that she had willingly called him by his name did.
"Come on Em, I know you, everything about you and you know just as much about me." He told her, slipping his big hand over her small one. She filched as if having been burned and pulled away. He cast his eyes downwards, once again hurt.
"I'm sorry Brennan." She told him and she really was, she just could be that close to him
at the moment. He didn't say anything, instead pushing back his chair and turning to go. She followed, pushing back her own chair and starting to follow him. He didn't even make it out the door when she cried out in pain. He was at her side in a flash and Emma wondered again if maybe he did have some feral blood in him. He grabbed her before she could hit the ground and pulled her into his arms, wrapped her up and protecting her from the world and every other thing he could, except herself. She grabbed her head and tears rolled down her face from the pain.
"Adam, " he called into his comm. Ring and waited for the other man to respond.
"Yeah?" Brennan never thought he'd ever be so happy to hear Adams voice.
"It's Emma, something's wrong." Brennan told the older man.
"Where are you?" Adam asked and Brennan wasted no time telling Adam that they were in the kitchen.
"I'll be right there." Was what Adam left him with.
"Shhh, Emma, it's going to be ok. I promise, Emma, I'll fix it. You're safe, Emma, I'm here." Brennan breath into her ear so softly that only she could hear him and it seemed to calm her a little, but her cried still racked her small body and he willed Adam to get there fasted. She gazed up that him with tear filled eyes and at that moment he would have died to make her pain stop. And at that moment she understood that he would do anything for her even through the pain. And at that moment neither noticed the other man watching them from the door. And before Adam came rushing in, neither noticed Jesse slip back into the hall and head for his room.
