DISCLAIMER : I own nothing
Emily wakes up and stretches reaching for Derek only to be met by nothing, she sits up looking around to see if he is in the room but to no avail. She gets up and grabs the nearest thing to hand which happens to be Derek's shirt from last night. She makes her way downstairs and hears him banging about in the kitchen. The sight in front of her brings a smile to her face, a shirtless Derek making breakfast. He turns round and sees her standing there.
"What are you doing up, I was making you breakfast in bed princess"
"Sorry, I just woke up and you weren't there"
He stops what he is doing and makes his way over to her, slipping his arms around her waist.
"Do you know how sexy you look in my shirt?"
"So should I just wear this all the time then?"
"I think that would be a very good idea princess, now sit and I will get your breakfast"
She does as she is told and makes herself comfortable, not two seconds later there is a knock at the door.
"Em will you get that for me"
She jumps off the stool and makes her way to door seeming to forget that she has very little on. She opens the door to be met with Derek's mom. After seeing who it is she tries to angle herself behind the door, rather embarrassed she motions them inside.
"Derek"
"Who is it baby?"
He makes his way into the hall to see his mom standing there. Derek's mom rushes to him and embraces him in a hug.
"How are you my baby boy?"
"I'm good mama, not that I'm not glad you're here but what do I owe this pleasure too?"
Before she answers him she turns back to look at Emily.
"Hello to you too Emily" Fran approaches her and gives her a little hug.
"Hi Fran, I'm just going to go get changed" she quickly walks upstairs to make herself more presentable.
Derek and Fran make their way back into the kitchen.
"Mama you want some breakfast? There's too much here for just me and Em"
"Yes please, I didn't have time before my flight, and to answer your question from before am I not allowed to visit my son whenever I want"
"Of course mama, I was just checking nothing was wrong"
"No baby nothing is wrong, although if I knew Emily was here I would have arranged to come another time, I know you don't get to see each other often."
"Don't be silly mama, you are welcome here anytime."
"I am only here for a couple of days, don't worry I know you young ones, you will want some alone time."
"Mama" Derek says in a warning tone.
Emily makes her way back into the kitchen rather sheepishly, feeling embarrassed that Fran had seen her less than presentable.
"There is no need to look so embarrassed Emily, I was once in that exact same situation when I was younger too."
Emily laughs at little at this revelation.
"It's nice to see you Fran"
"It's nice to you too, how long are you back for?"
"Two weeks this time"
"Right you beautiful ladies breakfast is ready"
After breakfast is finished and the kitchen all cleaned up they make their way to the living room. Before they have a chance to get comfortable Derek's phone rings. He glances at the caller ID and looks at Emily with an apologetic look on his face.
"It's ok Derek"
"No, you just got here, and mama's here too. They can do without me for one case."
Fran decides to stay out of this conversation, making her way to the kitchen to put the kettle on.
"Baby we both know that if you stayed behind you wouldn't be able to relax, go honestly its ok, it gives me and your mom more time to get to know each other."
"I promise after this case I am telling them they will have to do it without me, I am not missing any more time with you"
"Ok now go we will both be here when you get back"
"Hopefully, mama's only here for a couple of days."
Hearing this Fran comes back through with drinks for her and Emily. Popping the drinks on the coffee table she turns to face Derek.
"Don't worry son I can come back anytime, and like Emily said it gives us a chance to spend proper time together. Now go catch that bad guy and come home safe"
Derek wraps his arms around his mom. "I'll try and get back before you go mama"
"Don't rush it baby, if I don't see you its ok, just stay safe please."
"I promise mama."
Releasing hid mom, he reaches for Emily, walking with her to the door where he keeps his go bag.
"I will get back as soon as I can princess. I love you"
"I love you too baby"
He wraps his arms around her and gives her a sweet kiss.
"I'll see you in a couple of day's baby"
"Be safe Derek, I want you back all in one piece ok"
"Promise baby"
After kissing her again he leaves.
Emily makes her way back into the living room with a sad look on her face.
"Hey now, enough of the sad look, like he said he will be back as soon as he can"
"I know I know I am just being silly"
"No sweetie you're not it's ok to be worried"
"I know and I should be used to it I guess."
"Trust me, when Derek's dad used to leave I would worry myself sick until he returned and I kept thinking that it would get easier, it never did but then we had our children and they kept me busy."
"Is that your way of hinting for grandbabies Fran?"
Softly laughing at Emily's question "Is it working?"
Smiling she just shakes her head not ready to get into that conversation, she sits down and picks up her drink.
"What would you like to do today?"
"I think retail therapy is in order, what do you think?
"I think that sounds like a great idea Fran"
