Chapter 12
Rating: PG-13
Summery: Jesse goes to New Orleans to find Emma. Shalimar and Brennan try to breach their broken friendship/flirtation.
Note: Sorry it took so long, I've been sick. I hate being sick. Oh yeah, I love my reviewers. And this hotel does exist. Oh and I don't remember if Jesse has blue eyes or what, so I've decided that he has, which I'm pretty sure he does.

Emma sat in the chair as she watched Livia work out, and for a while envying her for the fact that her knees could bend without touching a fat stomach. She watched as she began the single leg stretch, watched as she pulled the leg in twice and then repeat with the other leg. Livia had turned the sound of the t.v. off and was playing the radio and all you saw was Mari Winsor pointing and her mouth moving.
Emma's mind began to drift when a song she thought she would never hear again began to play and brought with it memories.
Emma remembered when she heard the song it had been a rare day when the Sanctuary was empty save for her and Brennan. Adam had gone off to meet an old colleague and Shal was feeling caged and went out for the night and Jesse went with her to meet his new girlfriend. She remembered sitting on the sofa in the T.V. room and listing to the radio, when a song that she loved came on. It was called "I'll Be" when Brennan came out of his room in nothing but jeans.
No shirt, no shoes and his hair looking like it lost a battle with a brush. She remembered him looking adorable and sexy at the same time and vaguely remembered thinking if that was possible. While she had been listening to the song, she got lost in a daydream, the daydream was about finding someone who could love her when Brennan stood in front of her, his had held out palm up.
She hesitated for a moment before grabbing it and he pulled her into a dancing stance. She placed both hands around his waist until they laid flat on his bare back. She remembered how his flesh seemed to sear her hands as she held onto him as they danced, she remembered how his scent seem to make his head float with his spicy scent that was all him. It was with that simple dance that she realized that she was in love with him.
Looking like he had just rolled out of bed, he had won her heart with a dance. There was no flowery words or jewelry or anything of the sort, it was just him in that moment.
"...ma, are you listening to me?" Livia stopped doing her excerise and looked at her. Emma shook her head and gave an apologetic smile. " I'm sorry what did you say." Livia gave her a look and stood up; " I was asking you if you wanted to get a pizza." This time it was Emma's turn to give her a look. " After you just excerised?" Livia just shrugged her shoulders and went to go shower and then grab the kids.

Jesse had been up since eight that morning, and he still didn't have a clue on how to find Emma. HE thought about going around and showing her picture all over town but he figured that it would get back to her and she would freak and leave. He thought going around and hiring a detective and asking them if they could find her for him. He thought about asking around for the girl in the photo by going to the police station and lying and saying that she was a long lost relative or something, but he didn't. Or he could walk all over town for the next week and pray that he would run into her.
He again called himself an idiot for not using the computers at Sanctuary to find out for him, but he had been to busy to remember that and even if he did use them Adam would have been able to find out when he went over the computer logs. No, it was a good thing he didn't use their computers because that would have caused Emma to run like a scared rabbit. He grabbed his napkin and cleaned his hands and then excited TGIF and decided that he would ask around if they have seen her and his cover story? He would pose as a brother looking for his wayward sister. They both had blue eyes and well hair could easily be dyed and he had a few pictures of them together.
" Please let this work" he sent a silent prayer up to whoever was listening or even caring.

Okay, I feel like I'm going nowhere with this story that it is going in circles and I think I'm gonna take a little bit of time off to see if I could make it come full circle. Hell, I don't know. You tell me if you think its going in a circle or if its going just fine. I mean it, even if you don't like the story I need to know.
