Chapter 16

Summery: I'm not putting one because I never write what I say.
Disclaimer: I only own Livia and the kids and anybody else that doesn't belong to Tribune and other people who I can't remember.
Note: Okay I got my Microsoft Word back and I did Spell check and grammar check and I must say I am a horrible writer, all those mistakes. Makes me ever so glad that most of you don't hold that against me.
And I know that this isn't a whole lot but...

He stared at Shal and tired to form coherent sentences and all that kept going through his head was the echo of Shalimar's voice saying 'found'. He was afraid to believe it, after so many months Emma was found.
Without realizing it his feet were moving him to his room and try as he might he couldn't bring himself to look at Shalimar as she called his name. But his feet kept staggering him to his room, his mind at one moment numb and quite and then the next loud and buzzing.
He with wobbly legs he sat down on his unmade bed and looked at a picture that he had on his nightstand. It was taken the day after they had joined Adam. She stood next to him, her arm around his waist and his arm around his shoulders and a happy but tentative smile on her face and even though her face was facing forward her eyes was turned up towards him and he stared into the camera.
He had stolen it from Emma's room after Jesse had finishing cleaning it. 'Christ, I don't know what to do or how to think or how to feel.' He thought roughly as he rubbed his hands across his face and lied back on the bed.
If Jesse somehow managed to persuade her to move back to Sanctuary, he didn't know what he is going to do or what he is going to say. He reached behind him and grabbed the twisted comforter and pulled it over him as he turned on his side and closed his eyes in hopes of for once getting a dreamless sleep.

"She shouldn't have killed her." Emma said with a shake of her head as she reached for the Necco wafers in Jesse's hand.
"Why not?" asked Livia and Jesse at the same time. She shrugged her shoulders and rested her hand on her stomach and laced her fingers. "I'm a romantic at heart. I just love the thought Claudia and Louis living out the rest of eternity together. Have you read any of the other books?"
She looked at Jess and he looked at her with a confused smile, Livia on the other hand said that she never really had the time but maybe she'll get them on audiotapes to listen to in the car.
"You should. I love the book Queen of the Damned, but the movie...well it could have been better." She said the last part with a pout and Jesse felt the vestiges of panic when he thought he saw tears in her eyes.
"Why what was wrong with the movie?" Livia asked as she picked out the kernels of corn from the popped corn and threw them into the coaster that was supposed to be holding drinks.
"Nothing, if you've never read the books. They didn't even let her write the script for the movie, they said they didn't want her to. The movie was just a gloss over of the book and..."
"And now we are going to drop the subject and talk about something else." Livia said as she grabbed the remote and turned off the credits for the end of Interview with a Vampire.
"God, he was hot in that movie." Livia said absently. And she caught Emma's agreeing nod. "He's still hot.'' She said as Livia passed her and Jesse to go check on her kids.

Emma settled Jess in the kitchen as she poured the hot water from the kettle onto the tea bag in the teacup. She somehow managed to set her self down on the stool that belonged to the island table.
She took a sip and fought the need to add more sugar; depending on your point of view it was either an up side or a downside of the pregnancy. She either wanted things extremely sweet or spicy.
"So go ahead and ask me." She said she set her cup down on the place mat.
Jesse took a long sip of his tea and did add the extra sugar as he gave his best innocent look, fully knowing that she could fell his emotions on his acting.
"What do I have to ask you?" And he looked out the window so that he didn't have to look into her big blue eyes.
She waited a few seconds and when she didn't get an answer she called his name. He breathed in deeply and let it out in sigh.
"Will you please come back home with me? We all miss you and we're going crazing not having you there." He said in a rush and watched as she looked into tea.
