Chapter 2: The first day of her life

Emma woke up early the next morning. It took her a few seconds to remember where she was at first.

She strained her ears to hear any sounds of movement outside the door. She couldn't hear anything but she knew Adam would be awake. He was always awake this early. She got up and put on the clothes Shal had left out for her then she headed to the lab.

Her instincts had been right; there he was, standing in front of the computer screen. She took a deep breath and walked through the door.

He smiled as soon as he saw her. They'd all missed her so much. The team hadn't been whole without her.

"Good morning, did you sleep ok?"

"Yeah I did. I hadn't realised how tired I was"

She smiled awkwardly as she hopped up onto the bed. She knew he needed to scan her and if she was completely honest she needed to know what had happened to her too.

He took a blood sample form her arm then started the scan. The results were a shock to both of them. She had healed fractures to virtually every bone in her body, she'd damaged all of her vital organs and she had burns across 70 of her body but he couldn't find any visible scars.

"Emma" he said softly "these injuries should have killed you" his face had gone pale as he sat down in a chair in front of her.

She looked straight into his eyes and finally said what she'd been trying to deny to herself.

"Adam I think they did"

He tried to say something but he couldn't find the words so he just listened as she went on.

"I don't really understand it but I think I died in that explosion"

Adam didn't understand either.

"Well however it happened at least you're back where you belong, with you're family."

He placed his hand on her shoulder and smiled at her in a very fatherly way.

"Well I don't know about you but I think its time for breakfast, why don't we head down to the kitchen and get something?"

When they got to the kitchen Brennan and Shalimar were already there. Brennan had his arms wrapped protectively around Shalimar's waist.

"Well how are our parents to be this morning?"

"Were just fine Adam and before you ask, no I haven't started getting any morning sickness yet."

"Congratulations Brennan" Emma smiled at her friend.

"Thanks Em. How're you doing this morning anyway?"

"Ok I think. Its just kind of weird being back that's all."

"I'd be worried if things around here weren't weird" Brennan laughed.

"Well this looks cosy"

Lexa had been standing in the doorway watching them. It made her want to throw up. How could they all act like nothing had happened? She comes back from the dead and it's all just a big joke. Well she wasn't going to be part of it. She was going to make sure no one was going to laughing at her.

"Morning Lexa" Shalimar said brightly

"No sign of Jess yet?"

"No. Why?"

"Me and Bren have got something we need to tell you both"

"I'll go and wake him"

The dark haired molecular turned and left the room.

"I don't think she likes me very much does she?"

"Don't worry Em she's like that with everyone at first"

"No it's not that. I could actually feel the hatred coming from her and I'm pretty sure it was aimed at me but maybe I'm just over reacting."

Lexa Walked back into the kitchen with a very tiered looking Jesse just behind her.

"Hooray you're finally awake. We thought you'd gone into hibernation"

"Ha ha very funny Shal. Lexa said you had something to tell us?"

"Yeah. You're not going to be the only baby around here soon. I'm pregnant."

A little while later, after they'd exchanged their hugs and congratulations Emma was sitting alone on the dojo stairs thinking about Lexa. She hadn't been over reacting, she had definitely felt hate from her. She couldn't mistake it. It was like waves breaking against the shore line. What she couldn't figure out was why? What did she have against her? Maybe she would speak to her later.

Right now there was only one molecular she wanted to talk to. Jesse had definitely been avoiding her. She couldn't really blame him. She'd probably be freaked too if he'd just come back from the dead but at least she would talk to him. Maybe he just didn't want her here anymore. Maybe he'd been ok with her being dead and maybe he hadn't missed her at all. The only way she would know for sure was to ask him.

She didn't have to look far for him; he was in his usual place in front of the computer.

"Jesse, can I talk to you?"

He almost jumped out of his skin; he hadn't heard her walking up to him until she was right beside him. He couldn't avoid her any more.

"Ok what would you like to talk about? How about the weather, or maybe shopping or would you rather talk about where the hell you've been for the last 6 months?"

"Jesse please"

Then she knew, he had missed her, she could feel all of his emotions pouring out of him. Anger, grief, pain, hate, love and sadness. Those two were the strongest.

"I don't know where I've been and I don't know why I'm back all I do know is that I was lost and all I wanted to do was come home"

She was crying again, she hated crying so much.

She looked into his grey-blue eyes and saw that she wasn't the only one crying. He thought about walking away but he couldn't leave her to stand there and cry. He got up and wrapped his arms tightly around her like a blanket as she cried out all her confusion.
