Three days before Emily's "death"

Emily was sitting at her desk when she heard a light knock on her door. She looked up and saw Aaron standing at her door with a bottle of whiskey in hand. A small smile formed on her face. "Thought you might need a drink after today." he laughed placing it on her desk. during the day they were investigating a crazy guy names David and when they saw him getting arrested he threatened to kill Emily. nobody thought it was a big deal

"You would think right," she laughed back grabbing two glasses from the bottom of her desk and pouring them both a drink. "Sometimes I wonder what was going through my 20-year-old brain when I switched my major from nursing." she laughed taking a sip of her drink.

"You switched your major from nursing," he asked raising his eyebrow at her.

"Yeah I never told you I switched my second year and almost didn't graduate on time." she laughed closing the file in front of her.

"Well let me say you are doing a pretty good job so far," he said pouring a little more whisky in his glass. She smiled at him she liked that they were getting back on the good term because missed him

"What about you what were you like before the white house took our lives away," Emily said leaning back. Aaron chuckled taking a sip of his drink.

"Pretty much how I am now you know a hard worker but I also had a lot of fun." Emily nodding in agreement like she already knew that. "Well I should get going I have a meeting in the morning."

"Have a good night Aaron," Emily said as he stood up.

"Night Emily." Aaron said before walking out of her office "oh and Emily stay safe we can't lose you. I can't lose you. " he said sweetly Emily smiled at him

"I will Aaron."

Emily was running late on her way home. Aaron kept calling but she would just send it to the voicemail since she was right around the corner of her apartment where he was waiting. As she walked into the door Aaron shot up "just Jesus em where have you been I have been calling you like crazy." Aaron said

"Oh I had to work late and traffic was crazy and if you don't remember you not supposed to talk on the phone while you driving." Emily laughed hanging up her coat.

"Emily I was scared shitless I thought something happened" Aaron crossed his arms over his chest.

"What are you so scared about I'm fine," Emily said looking at him confused

"What am I so scared about- what am I scared about I am scared that I can't protect you I was supposed to 2 years ago and you fucking died in my arms. I can't lose you again I won't survive. I barely did the first time. If you don't return my calls and I don't know where you are how am I suppose to know you not back in protective custody. " Aaron screamed Emily tried to walk toward him but he threw his arms in the arm walking into her bedroom. Emily took a minute to let him calm down. She stood in the kitchen trying to clean up before heading into her bedroom seeing Aaron sitting on her bed with his head in his hands. Picking up his head so he would look at her. Before she straddled his lap.

"Aaron they are going to have to actually kill me to get me to leave you again Aaron. Look I'm sorry I didn't answer your calls I didn't think it was going to freak you out this much. But if these past two years have made me notice anything is that having to live without you has made me never want to because… I love you, Aaron. I alw-" Emily said before Aaron cut her off grabbing her face smashing his lips into his.

"I love you too," he mumbled against her lips before falling back onto her bed.

Aaron lied on his back with Emily's chest rubbing circles on his bare chest while he ran his fingers up and down her bare arm. "I'm sorry Aaron I didn't mean to scare you," Emily whispered.

"I know." he said kissing her shoulder "have you heard from Jared at all," he asked which felt like that question sucked all the air out of the room.

"No, and if he does show up he will get the door in his face," she said rolling onto him kissing him.
