AN: Ok so this might have to be put on hold until the girls get their jobs back. I'm in a major depression episode and that little bit of news didn't help. I would say enjoy, but I don't know if you can with what's going on!
Disclaimer: I wouldn't want to touch the rights to this right now anyway!

Aaron jolted awake when he heard Emily scream. He rushed to where she was standing in the middle of the living room, clutching a letter in her hand. He pulled her shaking form into his arms and somehow managed to get the paper from her hands. He held it out behind her back so he could read it. The only thing written on the sheet of paper were the words "You're next" were written in blood red ink. He crumpled the paper in his hand and went back to calming Emily down.
"Shh Emily I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you or Jack" he whispered. Emily clutched at the white undershirt he wore to bed for comfort. She breathed in his scent: gun powder, new suit, and pine. It was a unique combination, but she loved it on him and new that she was safe as long as she could smell him.
"I need to talk to my mother. I need to know if she knows this heartless bastard" she said, pulling away gently. Aaron smiled as he took the pads of his thumbs and gently wiped away her tears before pushing a few strands of hair behind her ear.
"I'll stand by you, no matter what you decide to do" he answered. He knew they needed answers and they needed them soon, but he didn't know if Emily was going to be up to finding out the truth about her biological father from the person who kept it from her all of these years.
"Thank you" she whispered. Aaron shot her a curious glance. Maybe she was losing it he thought.
"For what?" he asked gently. Emily smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, effectively bringing him into a hug. He wrapped his arms around her body and held her as she explained.
"Thank you for everything. For being here when I need you, for understanding, for supporting me, for savin' me" she whispered. Aaron kissed the top of her head, before resting his cheek on it. They stayed holding each other for a while, neither one wanting to break the cocoon of safety and happiness they had created. Emily soon pulled away and started for the bedroom. "Let's move it Aaron, I need answers and I need them now" she yelled over her shoulder. Aaron sighed and headed to get dressed. It was going to be a long night.

Emily paced in front of the house. She didn't know whether to knock or just go on in. She also needed to straighten her thoughts out. She had so many questions rolling around in her head and she needed to put them in order of importance.
"Emily" Aaron called out quietly. She looked at him and noticed her was looking at a window on the second story. She walked back to where he was so she could see what he had noticed. There was a light on. Emily's mind immediately drew up images of the layout of the house. It was the Ambassador's office. Her mother was up.
Emily steeled herself as she walked up to the front door, Aaron following silently behind her to show her he would support any decision she made. Emily walked through the front door and up the stairs, pausing only slightly to give two raps on the office door before she barged in. Elizabeth was sitting at her desk, staring at a photo.
"If I were you, I'd start talking. Who's my dad?" Emily demanded. Elizabeth looked up and smiled.
"Who's your daddy?" she smiled. Emily nodded and turned when the office door opened again. Anthony walked in and hugged Emily before handing a cup of coffee to Elizabeth. "Emily wants to know more about her father" Elizabeth explained to her husband.
"I thought she knew" he replied in shock. Emily nodded.
"I did, until I got this shoved under my door this morning" Emily yelled. She knew Jack was just down the hall, but she was sick of being jerked around. After shoving the envelope full of pictures and the note at her dad, Emily stepped back next to Aaron. "Start talking or this is the last you'll be seeing of us" she threatened.
