Isabella got to the door and unlocked it, she opened it and the first thing she saw was Derek's face. She knew the team from pictures her mother showed her, she knew a lot about them but she knew they didn't know about her so she thought something was wrong so she shut the door faster then she opened. Her breathing got heavier and then she heard "Honey it's me. It's okay. They know and you're safe. It's Emily. It's mom"

Bella took a deep breath and opened the door again.
When her eyes met her mother's she just went and hugged her. Emily was glad to have her daughter in her arms.

"It's alright. I'm here" she said trying to fight her tears as her daughter fought hers. "You can trust them. You're safe." She whispered on Bella's ear.

By the time Bella let go of her, the team was already inside.

"Come on in. We were watching a movie" Marley said. Everyone introduced themselves and Bella just stood beside her mom. Emily had her arms around her.

"So you're Bella" JJ said smiling.

"Yeah. And you're JJ right? I mean Jennifer" Isabella said.

"So you know us?" Penelope asked happily.

"Kind of." Bella said giving them a little smile. She was trying to be tough, but Emily knew her kid and she could feel how tense she was.

"Do you want to sit down?" Emily asked running her hand on Bella's back.

When she did that Bella just shoved her head on her mom's arms. She was so scared and sad and she couldn't hide it anymore. She wanted to cry, she had to, she couldn't hold it anymore. And she didn't. Tears started to roll and she tried her best to hide her face. Emily's heart sank. She knew it took a lot to make that kid cry, specially in from of someone other than just her mom. She picked Bella up and sat on the couch placing Bella on her lap.

"It's okay. It's alright. I'm right here" that's all she could say.

After a while she asked "do you want to go to your room with me?"

"Yeah" Bella cried. She couldn't control it anymore and she hated it. Emily knew that wasn't sobbing, she knew she wasn't breaking down yet from all of this but she was letting some of it out, and she knew Bella would hate to break down in from of all those people. So Emily got up and picked her up and went upstairs. At that moment Isabella was glad she was tiny because she just wanted to be there exactly were she was. In her mom's arms.

Emily went upstairs. Derek Morgan followed her.
"Do you want me to take her up?" He asked when Emily started going upstairs.

"It's okay. I got it." Emily said.

"You sure?" He asked.

"Yeah" she said and headed to Bella's bedroom and he stayed downstairs with the others.
Emily went in and Bella's bedroom was still exactly like it was the last time she was there 3 months before. She spent the weekend there.

She placed Bella down. Isabella climbed on the bed and Emily sat next to her. Bella was trying to wipe her tears away but more kept coming. Emily placed her hands on Bella's face.

"Stop." She said. "It's okay to cry"

Bella didn't want to cry but she couldn't help it.

"Come here" Emily said getting Bella on her lap.

"You're fine. It's alright to cry. It's okay" she said.

"Mom" Bella said. "He's gonna die" Bella cried.

Emily could see the pain in her eyes. She hugged her as tight as she could. She didn't know what to say so she just hugged her.

After a while Isabella's breathing went back to normal and the tears stopped falling. She was still on her mother's lap on the bed. She was thinking about everything at once. She was so scared.
Emily saw she calmed down and decided to try to get her talking a bit. She knew Bella well and she knew it wouldn't be easy. So she just wanted her talking about anything.

"Hey. You okay?" Emily asked. "That's a stupid question, isn't it?" She knew Bella wasn't okay.

"I'm fine" Isabella said wiping her face. The tears had stopped completely now.

"Do you want to go out to eat with me?" Emily asked. She thought maybe being out would help get her mind off of things.

"No" Bella said. "Can we just stay here?" She asked.

"Sure" Emily said.

"Mom?"

"Yes honey?"

"When he unm... Am I going to live with you?" Bella asked her eyes tearing up again.

"Sure. If you want to of course" Emily said.

"I do. I really do" Bella said and the tears jumped out of her eyes. She hugged her mom again.

"Don't you worry, okay? I got you" Emily said.

"Are you sure it's okay for them to know?" Bella asked concerned. Her parents never hid from her the reasons why her mom wasn't there and what could happen to her.

"They're really good agents... and good people. They are you're family now too. Okay? You can count on them" Emily said. She trusted her team with her life.

"Are you sure?" Bella asked.

"I am. They got your back too. You're safe" Emily said. "Okay? You're safe" she repeated.

Bella gave her a tight hug again, she was feeling a bit better now that her mom was there.

"Mom? Does anyone else knew? Like Emma or Cameron's mom?" Isabella asked.

"Cameron's mom did" Emily said and Bella looked down.
"Look honey, when he told me this I didn't agree. I really didn't nor your brother did. We didn't want to lie to you about it but your dad had a point and I'm not saying he was right but he was scared and he didn't want you do see him like that"

"I know. Jeremy told me everything" Bella said.

"Right now I'm not mad mommy" she said. "I'm just... I'm just scared." She said while tears started filling her eyes.

"I know you are. I know. Come here baby" Emily said and hugged Bella. She started rocking her like she used to do when Bella was very little. She knew that it took a lot for her daughter to tell her that and that if she admitted and cried like that she was probably terrified.

"I got you. Mommy is right here" she said.

After a while Bella said "do you want to order some food?"

"Sure. What do you wanna have?" Emily said.

"I don't know." Bella said.

"How about if you ask them for ideas?" Emily asked. She saw an opportunity to take Bella out of the bedroom and took it.

"Okay" Bella said.

"Yeah?"

"Let's go" Bella said getting up.

They headed to the stairs.
Bella got tensed again. Emily saw that and held her hand.
"I've got you" she whispered and Bella gave her a small smile.
