( Previously on Emily Owens M.D. ) ...

Emily started to drift to sleep when she heard someone knocking on her door. At first she thought about ignoring it. She knew whoever was knocking on her door wouldn't stop knocking until she answered it. " I'M COMING! HOLD ON!" Emily yelled. She was seriously getting annoyed with this person already. She was surprise to see who was standing in front of her door. " What are you doing here?" Emily asked. Tyra walked right pass Emily. " You seriously have some explaining to do Emily.. What's going on with Dr. Barnes and you? and don't deny it." Tyra said. Emily closed the door and walked to her couch. " Nothing is going on between us. Well not anymore at least." Emily said disappointed. " What do you mean not anymore?" Tyra asked. " Well I thought maybe he was into me cause we kissed a couple of times but he pretty much left me at the bar tonight to dance with Dr. Kelly." Emily said. Tyra just laughed. " It's not funny Tyra! It's embarrassing." Emily explained. " I'm not really laughing at you. Sometimes Emily I don't think you really look at the situation the right way." Tyra said. Emily just looked at Tyra with a sad face. " Look Emily.. Micah likes you. I'm pretty sure he was just trying to end things with Dr. Kelly tonight. They didn't look very romantic with each other. He kept looking back at you. Plus with the almost fight between Dr. Barnes and Will had. Which I had to break up. defiantly shows that he cares for you." Tyra said. " Do you really think so? I'm just not sure. How would it even work between us?" Emily started rambling. " Calm down. Look at me. Yes I'm sure. You just need to talk to him. If you two really want this to work you will find away." Tyra explained. " What about work?" Emily said. " They don't have a rule about us dating other employees. They just look down at it. That's not the problem. What's holding you back?" Tyra said. Emily got up and started making some tea. " Do you want a cup of tea?" Emily asked Tyra. " Yeah sure. " Tyra said. Emily hands Tyra a cup of tea. Emily takes a sip. " What if I mess it all up? He is my superior. It will make things awkward between us if we break up." Emily explained. " You can't think like that Emily. If it happens you can figure it out then but not now. You need to stop being scared and just let it happen." Tyra said. Emily went to her bedroom and got dressed. " I need to go to his house now and talk to him." Emily said. " Emily its late. Just do it tomorrow. Plus he's not even home." Tyra said. Emily looked at her. " He's not home? Well where is he? How do you know all of this?" Emily said a little mad. " I know what you're thinking and it's not like that. He got a phone call from the hospital when I tried talking to him. I guess he's mom fell down and hit her head." Tyra said. " Oh my gosh! I need to go to the hospital to make sure she's okay." Emily said while grabbing all of her stuff. " Lets go Tyra." Emily yelled. Walking out of the door they both notice Will walking up to her door. " Hey whats going on? Is everything okay?" Will said. " Yes. No. I just need to get to the hospital to see whats going on with Mrs. Barnes." Emily said. Will just nodded. " Well let's go then!" Will said.

Twenty minutes later they got to the hospital. Emily went to the nurses station " What room is Mrs. Barnes in?" Emily asked. " I can't give you that information Dr. Owens." Nurse Jessica said. " Look here Jessica. I really didn't want to do this but you gave me no choice. I know who you were making out with in the stair way. Do you really want that to get out?" Emily said. Jessica just laughs. " You don't know anything. Plus you wouldn't dare." Jessica said. " I bet the chief would just love this. You know he did come up to me and asked to keep this a secret. " Emily said. "Fine. Mrs. Barnes is in room 204." Jessica said. Emily walked back to Tyra and Will. " Okay well I have the room number now. You guys can go home. I will be fine." Emily said. " Oh well I'm not going anywhere. I'm here to help you." Tyra said. " I guess I will just sleep here tonight. Just keep me updated Ems." Will said. Emily just nodded and waved. " So are you going to tell me what you said to Jessica to make her give you the room number? Tyra said. " No. I can't." Emily said. They walk to Mrs. Barnes room. Micah is nowhere to be found. Emily walks in and sits down on the bed. Mrs. Barnes is now sleeping. Micah is returning to his mom's room after getting a cup of coffee. He notices Tyra standing outside the room. " Hey what are you doing here ?" Micah asked. " Emily heard about your mom and wanted to check on her. I couldn't let her come here by herself. Plus we needed to talk still." Tyra said still looking at Emily. " Oh. What did she say?" Micah asked. " She's scared. She doesn't really realize that you care for her. She thought you picked Dr. Kelly." Tyra said turning her head looking at Micah. " I had to break things off with Dr. Kelly. I thought she understood. I was going to go to her house but I got the phone call about my mom." Micah said. Tyra just nodded. " Just tell her how you feel." Tyra said after ten minutes of silence. " Here goes nothing!" Micah replied.

Micah walks into his mother's room. " Hey." Was all Micah could say. " Hey. How are you holding up?" Emily said. She knew Micah was having a hard time facing facts about his mother having cancer. " I'm doing the best I can with everything that's going on." Micah said. " Yeah. She's lucky to have you. She always talks about how proud she is of you." Emily said softly. Emily got up and was about to leave when Micah stopped her. " Wait. We need to talk. Lets sit. Please." Micah said." Okay." Emily said. They walked over to the chairs by the window. " Emily. I hope I didn't give you the wrong impression about Dr. Kelly. I was just telling her it wasn't working out for us. That I had feelings for someone else. Which she knew it was you." Micah said. " ." Emily said. She didn't know what to say. " Emily. I have feelings for you. If you feel the same way. I think we should give it a try." Micah said. " I do. What about work though?" Emily said. " Relax. Lets just try this out first before we think about everyone else. I'm not saying lets keep this a secret. Just let them figure it out on their own." Micah said. Emily just smiled. " Okay. Lets do this." Emily said. " How about we go to breakfast for our first date. " Micah said. Emily looked disappointed. " Whats wrong Emily?" Micah said. " Well.. I kind of already counted the bar as a first date. It's okay if you didn't." Emily said. " Actually I counted that as a date too! I just didn't want to say anything." Micah said. They didn't realize Micah's mom woke up when they started the conversation. " Well it's about time you two love birds got together." said. Micah and Emily both looked at her. " What? I think everyone could tell you guys liked each other from the very beginning. It just took you guys a lot longer to realize it yourselves." said. " How are you feeling mom?" Micah said trying to change the subject. He really hoped that she wouldn't start talking about how she needs grandchildren. " Much better. Thanks. Could I get some water? Please." Mrs. Barnes said. " Yeah I'll go get you some." Emily said. Emily left the room to get a glass of water. Tyra was coming back with two cups of coffee. " Here Emily. I figured you need a cup." Tyra said. " Thanks Tyra." Emily said grabbing the coffee. Emily took a sip." MMM. I didn't realize I needed this." Emily said. " So how are things going? " Tyra said trying to get some information out of Emily. " Things are looking up. We got a second date later on for breakfast. Thanks again. You really are a good friend Tyra." Emily said.
