Chapter 8

A few days passed by and Emma was on the road to recovery. She had regained the feel of her legs and with the help of Adam, her wound had healed. She was still in the lab though, as Shalimar had asked Adam to keep her there until the bedroom was finally finshed; if Emma went back to her own room she would notice that somethings were missing.

Shalimar spent most of her time at Emma's side and Jesse and Brennan had worked hard the last few days trying to get the bedroom ready as soon as possible.

Shalimar stood in the middle of the bedrrom admiring what Brennan and Jesse had done. It was perfect she decided and headed to the lab. She walked through the door smiling at Emma then turned to Adam.

"Is it ok if I take Emma to her room now?" She asked already knowing the answer.

"Yes that's fine by me." He answered grinning.

"Oh thank God!" Emma said relieved. Shalimar laughed and walked over to her. She gently picked her up into her arms and carried her pout of the lab in the total opposite direction of Emma's room.

"Um, Shal, my bedroom is back that way." She said confused.

"I know but I have something to show you." Shalimar said grinning. She stopped when she came to the door to their bedroom.

"Open it" Shalimar said since her hands were full.

"Not to sound ungrateful or anything but i've seen this stock room a few times before."

"Just open the door" Shalimar said laughing. Emma reached down and pushed the door open, Shalimar stepped into the room and smiled at hearing Emma gasp. She gently put her down on the bed.

"Oh my God. When did you do this?" Emma asked amazed.

"Brennan and Jesse have been working on it the last few days. Do you like it?"

Emma looked around the room with a huge grin on her face. "I love it." She said pulling Shalimar into a kiss.

"So you don't mind that I didn't ask your permission for us to share a room?" Shalimar asked.

"No not at all. I mean we practically shared each others rooms anyway. Wow this is amazing I can't believe you did this for me." Emma said her eyes still wondering the room.

"Well it was just my idea, you'll have to thank Brennan and Jesse for actually doing it."

"I will later but right now I need a shower I havn't had one in days."

"Ok, do you want a seat or something I don't..."

"No I can stand if you help me. That's if you don't mind?"

"No come on."

Shalimar carefully carried Emma into the bathroom and kicked the door shut. She put her down so that her front was up against Emma's back. She kept her arms wrapped tightly around her waist and burried her head into the crook of Emma's neck. Emma moaned at the feel of Shal's soft lips on her skin. Keeping one arm around her waist Shal slowly moved her hand under Emma's top and cupped her breast.

"Is this ok?" Shalimar whispered unsure.

Shalimar didn't get a response instead Emma reached one arm up placing it on the feral's neck and pulling her back down.

After their 'shower' they lay on their bed Emma wrapped up in Shalimar's arm.

"It's strange I thought that Adam would have offered you like a wheelchair or something." Shalimar said wondering.

"He has." Emma said looking up at the blonde. Shalimar looked confused. "I said no." She said simply.

"Why?" Shalimar asked. Emma put her head back down on Shalimar's chest.

"Because that will make it real." She said it so quietly that Shalimar struggled to hear. Shalimar understood and pulled the psionic tighter into her embrace, she kissed her head softly.

"Try get some sleep." She said gently.

Shalimar lay listening to Emma sleep, she could fell her eyes becoming heavier when Adams voice came through their links.

"Emma? You there?" Emma didn't move so Shalimar went to answer but found that Emma was lying on her hand which had her comlink on. She carefully lifted Emma's instead.

"She's sleeping Adam." She said quietly.

"Oh well when she wakes could you bring her down to the lab, I think I have good news." Adam said cheerfully.

"Sure" Shalimar said before closing her eyes and trying to drift off into sleep.
