-------------------------------------------------

After leaving the note for her Naomi, she opted to go straight to her father's gym to talk to him before going searching for a flat. Her arms began to pump and her legs followed suit and before long she was in a fast paced jog. It had been quite a while since Emily had just let go and run like she was now doing. Her breathing was surprisingly even for someone who hadn't gone running in a long time. Then again, her many nights with her lover had kept her heart and lungs at least somewhat in shape. Muscles that had been cold and unused for so long were starting to scream at their owner, but she didn't slow down until she reached the door to the gym.

With her rosy cheeks and her hair wet and sweaty, sticking to her face and neck, she walked inside. Dark brown orbs looked for her father, and as she started to push her disheveled locks back behind her ears she found him. A smile broke across the man's face and he came from behind the counter to wrap up his little girl in his arms. He placed a kiss on the younger twin's sweaty forehead and held her tightly to him. It had been less than a day and Father Fitch was already missing the younger twin. "How are you, love?" he spoke into her hair.

Emily felt warm and protected in her father's arms and she relished the feeling. "I… I'm ok, dad. I um… I was wondering if you knew anyone who could give me a good deal on a flat."

Rob noticed right away that she had said 'me', and not 'us'. His eyebrows furrowed slightly before he straightened his face, opting to not ask if her blond friend would be living with her. Slowly he pulled his little red head away from his body and he put a smile back on his face. "Of course I know someone. Why don't you go work out for a bit, or grab something to drink, and I'll talk to him… he came in to lift some iron today. I think I can work something out with him." Mr. Fitch gave his daughter one last kiss on the head before heading into the weight lifting area.

Emily couldn't help but smile as her father walked away, taking care of her just as he had stated he would at the reunion. The red head moved to the drinking fountain before leaning down to take a long drink from it. The water felt cold on her lips and down her throat, but it also felt good, like it was recharging her internal battery. Her body cooled down slightly, but she decided to do some ab work and then she would do some time on the treadmill.

By the time she completed her reps of crunches and leg lifts, her entire core was burning, but she could hear her father's words in her head saying 'No pain, no gain.' Which was probably the only reason that she kept going. Emily picked herself up off the mat and made her way to the aerobic workout area which was lined with stationary bikes, treadmills, and even a few elliptical machines. After looking from one machine to the other, she decided she'd done enough running and would use the elliptical machine instead. One foot raised, then the other onto the machine and she set the time for one hour and then set up the regime she wanted to do, and just like that, she was off to the races.

-------------------------------------------------

The weather was dreadful as thick grey clouds blanked the sky. The blond pulled her sweater tighter to her form and she struggled to walk faster to keep her body temperature up. She was glad that it wasn't raining, at least it wasn't currently. Naomi had a destination in mind, but she was more worried about how she could get in. The Fitch gym wasn't too far from her house and she got there surprisingly fast. Her body paced back and forth in front of the door, trying to talk herself into going inside. Sure, Rob had said that she could call him up if she needed anything, but it was a whole different story if she were to just show up at his place of business.

After ten minutes it started to sprinkle down rain, which was all Naomi needed to push her inside the Fitch family gym. Crystal blue hues looked around, not seeing anyone from the Fitch family, not Rob, and not Emily. Her footsteps were slow and calculated as she looked for someone, anyone that she knew. Almost all the people there were male, and sweating like the pigs they were. 'Now that isn't totally fair, Naomi, some of them are probably proper gentlemen.' The blond said to herself.

Naomi walked into a room that had a whole bunch of machines. She felt way out of place seeing as she'd never been in an actual gym before, but she continued through the threshold. Her footsteps came to a dead halt when her eyes took in the one lone woman in the room. Red hair was tied up in a loose ponytail and her clothes were hugging her form from all the sweat that was glistening on her skin. Her mouth dropped as she stared at her girlfriend as she moved on the machine. To say that Emily was hot was a total understatement.

As she stood there gawking at her girlfriend, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She jumped a little at the contact and whirled around only to find the semi-friendly look on Rob Fitch's face. Instantly her cheeks reddened and her gaze dropped to the ground as she took a couple steps back. "Hello, sir." Was the mumbled and shy greeting she gave Rob.

Mr. Fitch looked into the azure blue eyes belonging to the blond girl his Emily was dating. He could tell that Naomi loved his daughter very much, and he did know that they were happy together, but it wasn't his place to say any of that, especially since the red head had been kicked out of the house for being in a relationship with her. "Please, call me Rob, or even Mr. Fitch, but there's no need to call me sir."

His warm smile and light eyes surprised Naomi and she could only nod. "I uh… um… Emily left this morning before I woke up, and … well… she left me a note… and… she said she might be coming here… and I wanted to make sure she was alright." The blond almost cursed to herself as she realized she was blabbering on, and was finally able to finish her sentence.

Mr. Fitch nodded his head as he stayed silent during Naomi's long, drawn out sentence. If things were different he might have laughed at her nervousness, but he waited patiently until she had finished before he spoke, "I found a flat for her. One of the guys who works out here is going to give her a deal… a great deal, in fact."

----------------------------------------------------------

Her eyes were closed as she rode the elliptical machine, and she knew that her hour on it was almost up. Emily's breathing was ragged and her heartbeat was steady and powerful. The machine beeped a few times, letting her know that her time was up, and only then did she open her eyes and step down.

There were a few other people who had filtered in and out of the room to use different machines, but she hadn't paid any mind to them. Some of them knew who she was, knew that she was a Fitch, and other's didn't have a clue. Her hand reached out to grab the towel and she dabbed it along her face and neck, trying to get the bulk of the liquid off before she would go spend some time in the sauna, then cool down in the shower.

All of that was quickly forgotten when she noticed Naomi and her father standing in the doorway talking. Eyebrows rose into her hairline and her chocolate orbs were huge. She was tempted to just watch them interact, but then wondered why the blond was even here. She had said she would be back… had she come looking for her? Was something wrong? With these questions clouding her judgment, she walked toward the two most important people in her life. Her voice was soft and her breathing was still a little uneven. "Hey dad… hey Nai." Her lips curled into a smile as she looked from one to the other and back again before taking a step toward Naomi and interlocking their hands to give her a quick squeeze.

Rob smiled and told her the good news. "I got you a flat." He said quickly, holding out a single door key and a piece of paper with an address on it.

Emily eyed her dad suspiciously before carefully taking the key and address. "How did you…" she paused, wanting to retry her question, "How much is it per month?"

A light chuckle could be heard coming from Father Fitch's mouth. "It's free, for you, Emily. We worked out a deal. You get the flat for free, and he doesn't pay a gym membership." He looked from his daughter to the red head. "It's a two bedroom, you know… just in case."

Emily flew forward to envelop her dad in a huge hug, and he accepted it with a bit of a shy smile on his face. His throat cleared and he smiled over at the blond whose jaw had all but hit the floor. "I love you, pap." She said mumbling into her father's chest. Rob could do little but pat his little girl on the back and lean down to kiss her on the top of the head.

"I have to get going, I have someone coming in to see me in about 10 minutes…" Mr. Fitch reached into the pocket of his track pants and pulled out two envelopes, one with each girls name on it, and handed them to Naomi and Emily. "Now, get yourselves something nice, maybe some furniture or something…" he smiled one last time before turning around, leaving both girls stunned, yet again.

Each girl opened her own envelope before closing it back up and looking at the other one. "Ems… why is he giving ME money, now?" she said in a state of shock.

"Because he knows that you're part of me. Let's go check out the flat, and then we can go look for some furniture…" Emily smiled over to Naomi, who gave her a puzzled look.

"Do you… uh… think you want to get cleaned up… I'm sure I could help you in the shower…" Naomi said to her lover, barely having enough control to not shag her right there in the aerobics room.

"I think that can be arranged," was the reply from the red head. It took the pair no time to get into the women's locker room and let their passion for each other be filled all the while taking a shower at the same time.
