Chapter 7

Shalimar lay on her bed staring into space when there was a knock at her door. At not making any attempt to answer she wasn't surprised when she heard someone trying the door handle but she had locked the door, she sighed and turned away to face the wall.

"You know you can't stay in here forever." Jesses's voice made her jump, slowly she turned to face him.

"What have I told you about phasing into my bedroom."

"I know but I wanted to see if you were ok and talk so I decided to phase considering that you wouldn't answer you door."

"Well im fine so you can leave now." The feral said pointing to the door.

"No I can't. I want to talk to you."

"Well say what you want to say so you can leave me alone." Jesses sighed and walked over to sit next to the feral.

"Adam told me about Emma and how you ran out like that."

"I didn't want to leave her but I just had to get away. I know it's not my fault but I still feel guilty." Shalimar said getting upset once again.

"I get that, I mean if it was me I know I would blame myself but deep down I would know that it was just a case of Emma being in the wrong place at the wrong time. You didn't know what was going to happen and it's not like Emma hasn't fought an agent before, she was unlucky this time...very unlucky, but im sure everything will be ok."

Shalimar stood up and started to pace the room, "How can you say everything is going to be fine. Emma is lying in there and she can't walk because of some fucking stupid idiot with a knife." Shalimar shouted getting even more upset. Jesse stood up and pulled her into a hug trying to calm her down.

"I know but Emma needs you more than anything right now. You need to focus on the positive things and how she can get better not on the negative things. She is going to be able to walk again."

"Your right." The blonde said pulling away. A small smile crept its way acroos her lips. " I have a perfect idea." She gave Jesse a quick hug before making her way to look for Adam.

She paused when she came to the lab door. Brennan was sitting with Emma who by the redness of her eyes had been crying but was now laughing at something Brennan was saying. Shalimar smiled at seeing Emma laugh, she had always loved seeing her laughing. Seeing that Adam was not in the lab she turned to go search for him. She was just turning a corner when she bumped into him.

"Shalimar, are you ok now" He asked concerned.

"Yeah thanks. Can I talk to you about something" At his nod she continued. "I was wondering if I could turn one of the stock rooms into a bedroom."

"What for you and Emma"

"No for Brennan and Jesse." She said sarcastically. "Of course for me and Emma. I just think it would be a nice surprise for her."

"That's fine by me. There's one that has a bathroom joined onto it so maybe you should use that one."

"You put a bathroom in a stock room?" Shalimar asked amused.

"Yeah I had originally intended to make another bedroom there incase we had guests or something but I guess I got side tracked. Mind you, you'll have to get Brennan and Jesse to help you because im far too busy." Shalimar nodded.

"Thanks and not a word to Emma." The feral said walking away and flashing him a pair of golden eyes.

When she reached the lab she saw that Emma was by herself. She had her eyes closed but Shalimar could tell she wasn't sleeping. Sneeking up to her she leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips, Emma smiled into the kiss and kissed her back deeper.

"Im sorry about before." Shalimar said when she pulled back.

Emma shook her head. "It's ok I understand."

"So has Adam told you anything new?" Shalimar asked sitting down and taking Emma's hand.

"Just that he wants me to stay in here for a few more days so he can keep an eye on me. Oh and he's getting a physiotherapist to come in to teach him so he can help me."

"That's good. I'll ask Adam if I can learn aswell, I want to help as much as possible."

"Are you sure? I mean you'll need to help me with other things."

"Like what?"

"Helping me shower, getting dressed that sort of stuff." Emma smiled she knew what was coming next.

"That's nothing new." Shalimar said grinning.

"I knew you were going to say that." Emma laughed

"You know me too well."
