JJ's P.O.V
I feel Emily's foot catch on the couch and as she falls I start to fall too. "EMILY!" I scream. I grab her and flip us over so she falls on top of me. She moves her head off my chest and smiles at me. "Nice catch." She says smiling. "Are you okay?" I ask. She nods. "Yeah I think so." She says. "Roll off me. I'm checking the wound." I say.
She rolls off me and lifts her top. "Okay. It looks fine." I say standing up. She puts her shirt down and looks at me. "Can you walk?" I ask. She nods. "I'm fine." She says. I help her up and put my arm back around her waist. "You're not fine." I say taking a step. "I know. But I can walk. I'm okay to walk." She says.
We make it to the kitchen and lean against the counter. "What do you want for breakfast?" Emily asks. "Bacon and eggs?" I ask. She nods. "Alright."
She goes to step away from me but I pull her back into my body. "Nope." I say. She turns around in my arms. "What? I thought you said I could cook." She says. "I said you could cook. Not walk around and gather the food." I say. She smiles and kisses me softly. "I love you." She says kissing me again. I smile. "I love you too. Now lean against the counter." I say. "I get to watch you walk around the house in super tight short shorts and a sexy tank top? Alright." She says putting her hands on my waist and kissing me again.
Pulling back I smile and move away from her, grabbing the pans and the bacon and eggs from the fridge.
I walk back to the stove and put the stuff down and hop up and sit on the counter. "You cook. I'll catch you if you fall." I say. She nods. "Okay."
She gets the bacon into the pan and turns and leans against the counter. I hop of the counter and walk over to her, putting my hands on my hips I look her in the eyes. "Are you alright?" I ask. She nods. "I'm okay." I nod and kiss her. "Flip the bacon." I say pulling back and getting back on the counter.

"I didn't know you could cook that well." I say putting my plate in the dishwasher. Emily smiles. "I'm good at many things." She says leaning against the counter. "I bet you are." I say, smiling. She walks over to me and puts her hands on my hips. "You wanna find out?" She asks smiling and leaning forward to kiss me. "Not until you're better." I say. She pouts. "Puppy dog face won't work." I say. "Why not?" She asks pulling me closer to her. "Because you're hurt and I don't want to hurt you even more." i say. "I thought sex helped with healing." She says kissing me again. "It probably does. But we aren't going to find out. Got it?" I ask. She nods in defeat. "Fine." She says.

I put the popcorn bowl on the coffee table and turn to face Emily. "Come on. Let's get you into bed." I say. She smiles. "I'm okay with that." She says pushing herself up off the couch. "Not like that smartass." I say.
We walk into the bedroom and I get Emily over to the bed. I walk over to the dresser and get a pair of sweatpants and a tank top for Emily. "So my parents invited me to go and visit them." I say, handing her the pants. "That's nice. Are you gonna go?" She asks. "They want me to leave tomorrow and stay for a week." I say. She nods. "You should go JJ." She says. "You should come with me." I say. "Do your parents know about us JJ?" She asks. "I told my mother that I would probably be bringing you with me, but no I didn't tell her about us." I say. "Why? Do you not want them to know or something?" Emily asks. "It's not because I don't want them to know, it's just because hearing that their daughter is in a relationship with a woman over the phone probably wouldn't sit well with them." I say. She nods.
I sit down beside her and grab her hands. "I love you Emily, and there is not one person in this world that I don't want knowing about us. Okay?" I say. "Strauss?" She asks. I nod. "I don't care. I love you." I say. She nods. "I love you too." She says.
