Ch 2. There's nothing good about goodbye

The days after Erik had arrived to meet his long lost daughter were in a word "sublime".

One night after a week of visiting with Emma, Erik found himself unable to sleep. He never did like to sleep at night. He heard voices downstairs and went down to see what they were. As he quietly snuck into the living room the see who was a wake to be talking he saw Emma sitting on the couch and Aric facing away from her by the fire place.

"… You to go." He seemed angry.

"But Aric, I want to go." Emma said sternly. She wasn't going to let him win this one.

"Then let me come with you. I don't want you to get hurt." He slowly turned to her.

"No! I need to do this on my own." Emma snapped at him.

"Emma, please listen to me. I almost lost you too many times, if I loose you this time… I… I don't know what I will do, but I can promise you this. If you get killed, I swear I won't live without you." Aric said pulling her to stand near him.

"Don't you EVER say that! I don't ever want you thinking like that. I can't bear to think of you doing that." She was crying now, Erik could see that. He still didn't know what they were arguing about, but he could see how much they loved each other.

"Please, Emma…" Aric was crying now too. He pulled her into him and held her tight. He was, for some reason afraid of loosing her.

"Are you guys arguing about his again!" Christian came down the stairs with a lit candle.

"Sorry. We didn't mean to wake you up, again."

"Well since I am up, why don't we solve this now?" He was mad. "That way you guys can go to bed and no argue like this anymore. I'm surprised that you guys get any sleep at all."

He plopped himself into the chair in front of them.

"Sit." He commanded them. They both sat together on the couch across from him. "So, Emma wants to go and see Raoul, and you don't want her to?"

"No, I want her to do what she feels she needs to do, but I don't want her going alone." Aric corrected him.

Christian sighed, and leaned forward resting his chin on his fingers. His tired eyes closed.

Erik finally realized what they were talking about.

"Why do you want to go back Emma?" Christian asked.

"I just need to see my father one last time." She said.

"But you could get hurt!" Aric snapped at her.

"Shh! don't wake everyone up!" Christian snapped back.

"I don't care who hears me!"

"Aric, listen to me! It's just my father, my mother is dead, and he won't hurt me." She tried to explain.

"But Jonathan is still out there! I refuse to take the chance that he could come back!" Aric yelled.

"I don't see that happening, besides she just wants to say goodbye. She'd be back in a few weeks. I think she should go." Christian said.

"NO! NO! NO! I won't let you! Not yet!" Aric screamed.

"Then we will wait a week or two, and then she can go. Alone." Christian said finally. "Well since it is almost morning I am going to start breakfast early."

He left for the kitchen. Aric was fuming. Emma was afraid to say anything; she didn't want to set him off anymore. He had his head down on the mantle above the fireplace and was just staring into it. Emma got up and went to the fireplace. She gently placed her hand on his shoulder. He shrugged her hand off and ran out of the house.

Emma sat down on the couch again, still in shock from what had happened. Erik decided that it was time to come out of the shadows. Emma heard him move and quickly turned around. She turned away from him as soon as she saw him. He slowly came to sit next to her.

She just stared a head, no looking at anything, all the sudden she threw herself at Erik. She began to cry. She cried into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and let her cry. Finally her hysterical sobs slowed and her breathing became normal again.

"I'm sorry." She whispered not trusting her voice not to crack. "That you had to hear that. "

Erik took in breath; he hadn't realized that she had known that he was there.

"If you don't mind me asking Emma, but why do you want to go alone?"

"Aric and my father or Raoul rather, don't get a long. It would be disastrous. Especially if Jonathan was still around." Emma whispered.

Erik silently remembered what Emma had told him about Jonathan.

Emma was exhausted form arguing all night. She soon fell asleep with Erik, he liked sleeping during that day too, so he to, soon fell asleep.

"I hate it when they argue like this, nobody eats anything I make." Christian fumed.

"Don't worry; you know that they never fight long. They'll be ok soon." Michael said softly gently kissing Christian on the cheek before helping himself to what was on the counter.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Aric dreaded the weeks as they passed. He and Emma never got over it quite as well as they had in the past. Emma was in their room finishing packing when Aric came in and shut and locked the door.

"Please, Emma, I am begging you, I am on my knees. Don't go." He hopelessly begged again.

"Aric, I can't. I have to say goodbye. You know that." Her eyes filled with tears again for the tenth time that day.

"Emma, I am scared." He confided in her.

"Why would you be scared?" She fought to keep the tears in her eyes and not let Aric see that she was scared too.

"I know that Jonathan is still out there. And I can't risk loosing you… or our baby." He pulled her to face him.
