I just have to say that I'm really sorry for taking this long to update but well after only my bestfriend reviewed the last chapter I lost all motivation to write. Since then I've gotten 2 more reviews which made me feel slightly better and finally my bestfriend pushed me into continuing. So here's the next chapter.

It had been over a month since Derek had shown up at Emily's apartment and he had kept his promise about not telling the team. That didn't mean that he was leaving her alone though. Since finding out about her cancer Derek had spent every free moment with her. As soon as he got back from a case he packed up his files and brought them to her apartment so that he could sit with her. He even went shopping for her so that she didn't tax herself as well as bringing her to all the doctor's appointments he was in town for. He had even taken to sleeping on her couch some nights when she was feeling especially horrible.

That didn't mean that things were any easier for Emily. The Chemo was taking a huge toll and she was seriously underweight as well as very weak. She had trouble walking very far and some times she could barely get to her bed. She honestly didn't even know what she would have done without Derek anymore, she had barely been surviving before and she felt a lot worse now.

A few days ago Emily had gotten the bad news that the Chemo was not working as well as Dr. Miscont had hoped and she would have to go in for more surgery soon. She had been upset, but to her suprise Derek had been completely distraught. he was actually taking all this worse then she was.


The team was worried. Not only had it been almost 4 months since anyone had had contact with Emily, but Morgan had been really preoccupied lately. He was always gone as soon as possible, was late half the time, and was looking rundown. He had refused to talk to anyone on the team and they were worried as well as curious as to what he had been up to. Finally, JJ had had enough and decided she was going to confront him.

"Derek, I'm sick and tired of this! What the hell is going on with you lately?" she demande, walking up to him while he was alone in the breakroom.

"I have no idea what you are talking about!" he exclaimed before quickly leaving. He had to get to Emily's soon anyways if he wanted to bring her to her appointment.

JJ watched him leave through narrowed eyes. Something was definetly going on and she was going to get to the bottom of it. Looknig at her watch she noticed it was after 5 so she could technically leave (even though it was highly unusual for anyone in the BAU to leave that early.)

She quickly followed Derek into the parking lot and getting into her car she tailed him all the way across town. She was highly confused when she saw him stop in front of an apartment building and walk in. Waiting outside for over 15 minutes, she had almost given up when she saw him walk out again. JJ got out of her car and walked over, just noticing that there was a woman with him. As she got close though the woman started to look very familiar.

Then it clicked. "Holy crap Emily!"

There you go! Not very long, but I'm not sure if anyone is really reading this. Please review if you want me to continue this.
