It was 7:48 when Penelope woke up again.
Isabella was snuggling Emily who was fast asleep.

She got out of the bed and headed to the kitchen. She made coffee and then decided to make pancakes. She knew Isabella liked that and the girl could use a nice breakfast. She had just begun cooking when Jeremy went down.

"Good morning" he said.

"Hi. Good morning" Penelope said.

"How is she?" He asked.

"Asleep. She's alright, you know" Penelope told him.

"I don't think she's actually okay" he said. "I think this is all too much for her" he said and poured himself some coffee.

"What do you mean?" Penelope asked a bit confused.

"I don't know" he said.

"Unm. Do you guys work today?" He asked changing the subject.

"Nop. Hotch gave everyone a day off" she smiled.

"Oh so you're all going back to work tomorrow?" He asked.

"I don't think Emily is going, if that's what you're asking" Penelope said. "I don't think she'll leave that baby alone for a very long time" she said with a smile.

"Good" he said serious.

Suddenly Emily appeared at the bottom of the stairs.
"Penelope? What are you doing?" Emily asked.

"Pancakes for my buttercup" Penelope smiled putting the last pancake in the huge pile. Emily smiled.
"Is she awake?" Penelope asked.

"Not quite" Emily said.

Isabella woke up when Emily got out of the bed, Emily asked if she wanted to go down but she said she wanted to sleep more, so Emily kissed her and left.

"Well, Can I take some up to her?" Jeremy asked.

"Of course" Emily said heading to pour herself some coffee. While her back was turned to the island she didn't see the amount of food Jeremy was putting on the plate. When she turned she was surprised.
"Jeremy, she's not going to eat all of that. That's too much food" Emily said staring at the plate with 4 pancakes, strawberries and blueberries.

"Em she can easily eat this" he said.

"She's not going to, Jeremy" Emily said.

"She needs to eat. okay? I've never seen her so boney in my entire life" he said.

"She hasn't been eating well but I'm not forcing food down her throat right now" Emily said serious and he just stared at her. "Take just two pancakes and it's fine. If she wants more she'll ask" she said.

"Are you serious? They are small! At home she would eat at least 4 and now you want to give her two?" He said sounding pissed.

"Jeremy, at home she had her father with her, didn't she?" Emily said serious.

"Yes but here she has us now but apparently you're not doing anything" he said pissed.

"I'm not forcing her to eat. And that's it. You're not doing that either" Emily said pissed too.

"Who do you think you are ? Not letting me give her food, are you fucking serious?" He said loud.

"I am her mother." Emily said angry grabbing the plate and taking 2 pancakes off. "I'm gonna take these for her. If she wants more I'll come and get it." She said and headed to the stairs.

Jeremy just stayed there looking pissed.
Emily went up and Bella was awake. She had been listening to them.
"Good morning" Emily said and the girl just stared at her. "Are you alright?" Emily asked confused, she didn't think the girl could have heard them.

"Yeah" Bella said not wanting to talk about what she heard.

"I got you breakfast" Emily smiled and walked to the bed. "Penelope made it" Emily smiled sitting next to Bella. She gave the girl the plate and Isabella ate everything.

"Do you want some more?" Emily asked.

"No. I'm full" Bella said and laid down again.

"Okay. Do you have any requests for lunch?" Emily asked.

"Pasta?" Bella smiled shyly.

"Pasta it is" Emily said and gave the girl a kiss on the cheek. "I'll be right back" she said and headed downstairs.

"Did she eat?" Penelope asked excited.

"Yes." Emily smiled. "And she wants pasta for lunch"

"Can I make spaghetti with meat balls?" Penelope asked excited.

"Sure" Emily laughed at the excitement of her friend.

"I'm gonna go talk to her, okay? If that's not against the rules here." Jeremy said serious.

"Go on" Emily said and he went upstairs.

Jeremy walked into the room to find Isabella buried in blankets reading a book.
"Hey" he said.

"Hi" she shyly said not looking away from the book.

"Can we talk a little bit?" He asked her and sat on the bed.
Isabella closed the book and put it down at the nightstand. She sat up straight on the bed and stared at her brother waiting for him to talk.

"So I was wondering how things are going here." He said. "I can see you like everybody and you've made friends but how is everything here?" He said.

"What do you mean?" Bella asked.

"I mean the city and the apartment, things like that. Do you like it?" He said.

"Yeah." Isabella said. "The city is really cool, there's a bunch of things to do" she said.

"Yeah? And what do you like to do here?" He asked.

"Unm. I like to go to the park. I went to the mall with Chloe and it was really fun." She smiled. "There's a pool area here and we've been there too and it's really cool." Bella said.

"And what about with Emily? What do you do with her?" He asked and Bella tensed.

"Unm. We hang out a lot." Bella said.

"Hang out doing what?" He asked and he could see she was a bit uncomfortable.

"Unm... We go to the park sometimes, and go out to eat and watch movies and things like that" Bella said. "Just like it used to be with dad I guess" she said.

"Yeah?" He asked and she nodded yes.
"So if you like it here, why did you run away Bella? I tried understanding that but..." he said and she looked away. "Why did you run away?" He asked.

"I just miss dad. And I guess I thought I would feel better back there"  Isabella said. "I thought going there would make it stop... I don't know...But then I realized that wasn't my home anymore" she said.

"What do you mean?" Jeremy said a bit confused.

"I don't know" Bella said.

"Look. If you want I can take you home with me. You don't have to run away." He said and Bella just tensed up and froze as her eyes filled with tears. "You can stay with Marley and me" he said and Bella looked away trying hard not to cry. She was so scared he would take her away from her mother.

"No Jeremy. I don't want that, I like it here" she said.

"Bella, your mom works a lot and she's not always with you, and you also know that you'll be at home alone sometime soon and what are you gonna do Bella?" He said and the girl kept quiet. "She works a lot and we both know how dangerous her job is." He said. "Bella the reason why her and dad did all that hiding all those years was to protect you and now you're just here. Going everywhere with her? That's not protecting you. Dad wouldn't let that happen would he?" He said and Bella just stayed quiet holding her tears in. "You can come back with me and have a normal life. Just a normal life without having to worry about Emily's work" he said.

"I'm not going anywhere Jeremy. I like it here. I love my mom and I want to stay with her" Isabella said.

"Bella, just loving someone is not a good reason to stay with them. You need to take everything else in consideration too" he said.

"She's my mom Jeremy. I've never wished anything more" Isabella said.

"Bella I really don't think this is a good idea sweetie. I know Dad wouldn't want this life for you. He never did" Jeremy said and Bella started crying.

"But he's not here, is he?" She cried. "He can't do anything now and he said I was going to live with my mom and that's what I will do. And you can't do anything either." She said really fast as tears fell down her face. "I'm not leaving my mother" she said.

"Bella you can still see her and you will be safer with me. Don't you think? Isn't that what dad always wanted? You safe" Jeremy said.

"she's a freaking FBI agent! And Her team will do everything to protect me. Don't you worry about that" she said.

"Look Bella. She doesn't even stay with you all the time. You stay more with Penelope then with your mother, don't you?" He said and she just stayed quiet. "Yeah. Do you really think Penelope can protect you? Do you really think that?" He said.

"Yes!" Bella said confident.

"We both now that's not true" Jeremy said.

"You don't know anything. You're not my dad okay?! Dad is gone. Dad can't change things now. He can't do anything and neither can you!" She said. "She is MY mother" Isabella cried.

"And I'm your brother! I just want what's best for you" he said.

"So just leave me alone" she yelled at him. Emily heard and ran upstairs. The moment she got to the door Isabella ran to her and bursted into tears.

"what happened?" Emily asked but the girl just cried and hid her face. "Can you give us a moment?" Emily asked Jeremy who was in tears too and he nodded yes and walked out. He didn't want to hurt Bella and he hated seeing her crying but he had to say those things. He had to because it was what he believed in and he wanted her home with him.
He headed out and Emily walked to the bed with Bella.

"Bells, what happened?" Emily asked sitting down and placing the child on her lap.

"He can't take me with him can he?" Isabella cried.

"No he cannot" Emily said. "Don't you worry about this. You're not going anywhere you don't want to go" Emily said firm. "Don't cry" she said trying to calm the girl.

Downstairs Jeremy went to the living room to find Penelope watching tv.

"What happened?" Penelope asked worried.

"We were talking and she got upset" he said.

"You were talking about what?" She asked.

"Everything" Jeremy said and Penelope looked at him a bit confused. She was about to ask something when the buzzer rang.

"Let me get that" she said and walked to the intercom.

It was Marley. She buzzed her in and went to get a drink of water.

CMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCM

Upstairs Bella's crying had almost stopped completely.

"Hey. Let's lay down" Emily said and they laid on the bed and hugged. "Try to get some sleep baby" Emily said and it wasn't long till Bella was out.
Emily waited a while before going down. When she got to the living room Penelope, Jeremy and Marley were watching tv.
"What the heck did you tell her?" Emily asked pissed at Jeremy.

"I just said she could live with us if she wanted to" he said.

"I'm pretty sure that wasn't all you said" Emily said.

"I just want to make sure she's okay. I'm sorry I upset her. I didn't mean to" he said and Emily sat down.

"She's fine with me Jeremy" Emily said and no one said anything.

After a while the buzzer rang again and Emily went to answer and it was Derek Morgan. He went up and greeted them and said: "where's my girl?"

"Upstairs" Penelope said.

"Still sleeping?" He asked surprised.

"She fell asleep again after breakfast" Emily said.

"Can I go see her anyways?" He asked hopeful.

"Go ahead." Emily said and he walked to the stairs. "Oh and if possible bring her down." Emily added.

"I'll make it possible" he said and walked upstairs.

"Hi" Derek said walking in the room where the girl was staring at a wall.

"Hi" she said looking very tired.

"How are you today?" He asked and sat on the bed.

"Fine" she said.

"Fine?" He smiled and she raised her shoulders. He smiled at that and said: "do you want to come down for a while?"

The little girl nodded yes but looked sad.

"You don't look very happy about that" he said.

"I'm just tired" she said.

"Yeah" he said. "Well let's be tired downstairs with a movie playing huh?" He said and she nodded yes. "Let's go then" he said and she got up.

At the door he picked her up.

"I can walk you know?!" She said.

"You're tired remember?" He smiled and she just hugged him.

.

"Oh look who's here" Marley said happy to see the girl looking a bit better.

"Hi" Bella said. Derek placed her down and Jeremy walked close to her.

"I'm sorry" he told the girl, who just stared at him.

Derek sat on the couch and Bella sat between him and Emily. Bella snuggled Emily and they started watching a movie on tv. Bella fell asleep 20 minutes into the film.

Around 11:30 Penelope decided to cook lunch and Emily went to help.

"You stay with your uncle, okay?" She told Bella who just looked at her, laid her head on Derek's lap and went back to sleep.

They cooked the food and set the table and everyone went to eat, including Bella who wasn't very happy about being woken up to eat.
She ate half of the food Emily put on her plate and said she was full.

"Well, you can either finish this or drink an apple smoothie I've made" Emily told Bella.

"Smoothie" Isabella said.

"Go get it" Emily said and Bella walked to the fridge and grabbed the glass of smoothie. She gave it to Emily, who stirred it up and returned to Bella who drank it all.

"Done" Bella whispered to Emily.

"Good job" Emily said and Bella laid her head on Emily's lap. She stayed there till everyone was done.

"Let's go to the couch" Emily told Bella and the girl got up and they headed to the couch.

Before they made there, Isabella ran to the bathroom and Emily ran after her. She held the child's hair as she threw up.
They girl couldn't help but cry.

"Are you done?" Emily asked wiping Bella's tears and the child nodded yes.

"Can I brush my teeth?" The girl asked.

"Sure" Emily said and Bella went to the sink. She brushed her teeth and then Emily picked her up and took her to the living room.
She sat down with Emily and they watched tv.

At 1:30 Isabella needed the last penicillin shot.
Emily had talked to Jeremy the day before and he or Marley would do it.

"Bella come here. Sit on my lap" Emily said and Bella did what she was told. "How are you feeling honey?" Emily asked.

"Fine" Bella said.

"Are you in any pain?" Emily asked.

"A little" Bella said. "It hurts when I breathe" she said.

"So all the time?" Emily joked and Bella smiled.

"No mom. Just when I breathe in" Bella said and Emily hugged her.

"Well, at the hospital the doctor prescribed a treatment for you called tri-penicillin. Do you know what that is?" Emily said.

"No" Bella whispered. Everyone could see she was scared.

Derek sat closer to Emily on the couch in case Bella ran or something.

"Well that means you need three penicillin shots" Emily said.

"What?" Bella said scared.

"Oh honey. You already took two. Calm down" Emily said. "You took two and there's only one more left" she said and Bella just stared at her. "We have to do it right now okay?" Emily said.

"Right now?" Bella said with tears filling her eyes.

"Yeah" Emily said and nodded yes.

Bella hugged her tight and started crying.

"Oh honey" Emily said soothing the girls hair.

"I don't want to" Bella cried.

"It's the last one. No more after this I promise" Emily said.

"No. It's gonna hurt mom. I don't want to do it again" Bella said still hugging Emily tight.

"Look, Derek can hold you and Jeremy will do it really fast. And we are gonna be right here" Emily said as Marley started preparing the injection.

"Come here princess" Derek said standing up and trying to pick Bella up.

"No!" She cried and tighten her arms around her mother.

"It's okay Bella" Derek said grabbing one of her arms.

"No! No mom! I don't want to" Bella cried.

"we gotta do it" Jeremy said. "You're gonna be okay Bella" he said.

"No" she cried.

"Emily we can't wait here" Marley said almost finishing preparing the shot.

Emily looked at Derek as if saying to get Bella off of her. He started getting the girl and Bella started screaming "no".

"Calm down" Derek said.

"No! No! Mom! I don't want to! No" she screamed and cried and Emily's heart was broken to have to take her baby's arms off of her so Derek could hold her.

"Mom!" She cried. "No!" She screamed. "Please I can't do this again" she cried.

Derek sat on the big couch and held her like he did in the hospital with the help of Marley holding her legs.

"No! Let me go! Let me go!" She cried and started moving to try to be let go. Derek tighten his arms around her and Emily helped Marley with her legs.

"Bella just stay still okay?" Emily said and the girl screamed as Jeremy pulled her pants down.

"No! Derek let me go! I don't ... to" she screamed and tried moving but they held her tight.

"Bella you can't move okay? Stay still" Jeremy said rubbing alcohol on her skin.

"Just get it over with" Derek said struggling to hold her tight.

"No! No! Please" Bella screamed and cried.

Suddenly Sergio jumped on Jeremy's leg.

"Au!" He screamed. "Get this cat out of here" he said and Penelope picked Sergio who was still trying to bite and scratch Jeremy. She locked the cat in the office while Jeremy rubbed alcohol again.

"Please don't do it" Bella cried. "Mommy" she cried.

Jeremy went and did it. She started screaming the moment the needle went in and when the medicine started going in she closed her eyes tight and clenched her teeth. It was hurting too much.

"Bella relax" Jeremy said. "Relax" he repeated.

Isabella started shaking.

"Just breathe, princess" Derek said and she let out the breath she was holding and the crying and screaming go worse but she stopped shaking.

"Stop! It hurts!" She cried. "Ahhhhh" she screamed as Jeremy tried going a bit faster. "Stoooooop it" she cried. "Au ahhh" she said pinching Derek's arm.

"All done" Jeremy said and she just kept crying. He put a band-aid on and pulled her pants up. "It's over" he said.

"It hurts too much" Isabella cried. Derek pulled her up to his lap and she pushed him off.

"Hey. It's okay. It's done" Derek told Bella trying to hug her. "I'm sorry princess" he said sounding a bit hurt.

Isabella looked at his face and threw herself in his arms letting out a sob.
He picked her up and she wrapped her arms around his neck just sobbing and wetting his shirt.
"It's all done" he told her and started walking around the apartment.

Penelope was crying hugging Marley.

"Those hurt but she'll be fine" Marley told Penelope.

Emily went and grabbed a glass of water for Bella. She walked to Derek who was now in the dining room.

"Baby drink a little bit of water" Emily said. Running her hand on Bella's back who was still crying.

"No" Bella cried. "Mommy it hurts" Bella said and turned her head to look at Emily.

"You're all done, okay? I promise" Emily said softly. "Do you want to go lay down?" Emily asked and Bella nodded yes.

"Can you bring her upstairs?" Emily asked Derek.

"Sure" he said and they walked upstairs. He laid Bella down on Emily's bed and Isabella grabbed her blanket and just sobbed.

Emily sat on the bed and pulled the girl up to her lap.
"It's all done" Emily kept repeating while slightly rocking the child.

"It hurts mommy" Bella said griping Emily's shirt.

"I know. It's going to stop soon. Close your eyes try to sleep. I'm gonna be right here" Emily said and Bella did that.

After about 13 minutes she finally fell asleep after crying for so long.
Emily felt her face was wet too. She hadn't realized she had started crying around minute 4. She wiped her face and put Bella's hair behind her ear and just sat there staring at the girl.

Suddenly Penelope walked in.
"Is she okay?" Penelope asked.

"She will be" Emily said.

"This is really the last one, right?" Penelope asked.

"I'm not letting anybody give her that again" Emily said serious and Penelope sat on the bed.

"Jeremy said she didn't relax her muscle the entire time" Penelope said and Emily just stared at Bella.

"She did a good job though" Emily said.

"She did. She's so tough" Penelope said. "I think that if I was her I would have fought way more then she did" Penelope smiled and Derek walked in.

"Jeremy just left" he said.

"What?" Emily asked confused.

"He said he would go pack while Bella was asleep and he'll come back later. He's going back to Seattle tomorrow" Derek said.

"Earlier today he asked her if she wanted to go back to Seattle with him" Emily told Derek.

"That's why she was crying?" Penelope asked.

"Yeah" Emily said. "She didn't really want to talk about it but she was really scared he was going to take her"

"My poor munchkin" Penelope said soothing Bella's hair.

"Seriously sometimes I'm ready to punch him" Emily said.

"Yeah?" Derek said smiling.

"What are you smiling at?" Emily asked.

"You, super mama " he said.

Suddenly Bella woke up and hugged Emily.
"Hey are you okay?" Emily asked as she heard the girl sniffing.

"Don't leave me, okay?" Bella said.

"I'm not going anywhere" Emily said. "Go back to sleep" she said and Bella closed her eyes again and payed attention to Emily's heart.

Penelope and Derek just stayed quiet till they saw Bella was back asleep.
"It's amazing how much you two look and are alike" Derek said noticing Bella's face. She looked so much like Emily when she falls asleep on the jet.

"She truly is your mini" Penelope smiled and Emily smiled too.

Suddenly Derek's phone rang.
"It's Hotch" he told them and walked out to answer. On the phone Hotch said the guy that told Bella to run when she was lost had been taken to a room so Hotch wanted to know if he wanted to go with him to talk since he talked more to Bella about it all.

"I have to go. Anything just call me" Derek told Penelope and Emily.

"Okay" Emily said.

"I'll stop by with pizza from the princess later. What do you think?" He said.

"She'll love that" Emily said and the three smiled.

"Let me walk you" Penelope said and headed out with Derek. He left and she went up again.

Emily laid Bella down on the bed and the girl didn't even move. She put a DVD on and Penelope sat to watch the movie while Emily showered. She knew once the kid was up she would want her around.
After 30 minutes she walked out of the bathroom and sat on the bed to watch the movie.

At the hospital Derek met Hotch and Rossi and went to talk to the man.
His name was Brian Davis. He told the agents that the man chased him and beat him up. He got knocked out and when he woke up he was already at the hospital. The agents did a cognitive interview and managed to get a description of the unsub. He was white, dark haired, mid to late 40s, had a mustache, didn't sound American and had a tattoo on his ankle.
Brian wasn't able to tell exactly what the tattoo was like but with his description the agents had something.

"And how is the girl?" Brian asked. "The little one" he said talking about Bella and not the teenager who died.

"She had pneumonia because of the rain but she'll be alright." Hotch said.

"You saved her life" Derek said.

"I'm just happy she's okay" Brian said. They talked a bit more and then left and went to the office.

Back at Emily's apartment, they watched movies and tv all day while Bella slept.
It was almost 7:30 when Bella woke up.

"Hi" Emily said. "How are you feeling?" She asked the girl who had very puffy eyes from crying.

Isabella didn't answer but gave Emily a hug. "Are you okay?" Emily asked.

"I'm not gonna have more, right?" Bella asked.

"No" Emily said. "It's all done."

"Do you promise mom?" Bella asked.

"I swear to you. No more, okay?" Emily said.

"Okay" Bella cried and Emily hugged her tight.

"You're gonna be just fine now"

"Mom?" Bella said and looked at Emily.

"Yes" Emily said.

"Can you not allow them to do that ever again?" Bella said. "It hurts so bad"

Emily smiled at her and kissed her forehead. "Never again" she told Bella and Penelope was smiling at the scene. Suddenly the buzzer rang.

"It must be Derek" Penelope said running out of the room.

"Uhhhm he said he would bring pizza for a special someone" Emily said and Bella gave her a shy little smile. "Do you wanna go down to have some?" Emily asked and Bella nodded yes. Emily got off the bed and helped Bella up. Emily could see the girl was still in a bit of pain.

"Come here" she said and picked Bella up.

"Au" Bella said feeling a bit of pain by the way Emily picked her. Emily adjusted and walked out. When she got to the stairs Derek appeared at the bottom.

"Oh. Let me do that" Derek smiled and ran up and picked Bella, who wrapped her arms around his neck. "Are you okay?" Derek asked heading down the stairs.

"Sorta" Bella said.

"Well, I brought ... That" he said when they got to the bottom of the stairs.

"What is it?" Bella asked staring at a big wrapped box at the island.

"Open it up" Derek said taking Bella to the island and sitting the girl on a stool. She started unwrapping it and her face light up when she saw the box. It was a 'Doctor Who' Chess.

"Oh my God!" She said. "Thank you so much" she said all excited and hugged Derek.

"You're welcome princess" Derek said.

"Oh Derek you didn't need to get her anything." Emily said.

"Well, I felt really bad for holding her down so I just wanted to do something nice for her and I saw this and I couldn't think of anything better" he said to Emily but looking at Bella.

Isabella went and hugged him again and tears started falling.
Derek felt she was crying and signed to Emily.

"Hey. Why are you crying?" Emily asked running her hand on Bella's back.

"I wouldn't want anyone else holding me down" Bella said and melted everyone's heart.

"I will always be here if you need me, kid" Derek said. "Now no more crying" he smiled and let go of the hug.

Isabella smiled and wiped her face and he helped her.

"Thank you so much for this" Bella told him staring back at the box.

"Well are we gonna play or what?" He said and everyone smiled.
Derek helped Bella open the box and everyone helped set it up.
"Baby girl! Order us some pizza? It's on me" Derek told Penelope.

"Sure love" Penelope said and went to call.

Derek played once against Bella and Bella won.

"Mom, your turn" Isabella said.

"My turn to get murdered at chess by an 8 year-old" Emily laughed and Bella smiled. Everyone was having fun, even Bella who was still in pain.

.

"Checkmate" Isabella said smiling.

"I don't even know why I try" Emily said and everyone smiled.

"That's why I don't even get near that" Penelope said "only to see these cute little guys" she said picking up a piece. Everyone laughed and the pizza got there. They headed to the couch and ate and watched some tv.

It was almost 11:30 when...

"Hey. Let's get ready for bed?" Emily told Bella.

"Bed? She has been in bed all day" Derek said and Emily smiled.

"Well, do YOU want to go to bed?" She asked Bella and the girl nodded yes.

"Sorry" Bella told Derek.

"You own me a game tomorrow" he said.

"Okay" Bella smiled.

"I'll take you up" he said picking her up faster than the no that she spoke.

"I can walk you know?" She said embarrassed.

"I have strong arms you know?" Derek joked and everyone laughed. He carried her up and let her down on Emily's room.

"Shower" Emily said and Bella walked in the bathroom and coughed a little.

"Do you want any help?" Emily asked.

"Nop. Can you just get me a towel and pajamas?" Bella said.

"Sure" Emily said and walked out.

Bella went in and took a quick hot shower. She got out of the shower and yelled "mom!". Suddenly Emily said "the towel is in the doorknob"

"Okay" Bella answered back. She went and got the towel and then combed her hair. She walked out and Emily handed her the pajamas, an old Yale shirt and pajama pants, and underwear. She walked back to the bathroom and got dressed.
When she got out Derek and Penelope were sitting on the bed while Emily was in her closet getting her pajamas. Isabella walked to the bed and sat next to Penelope.

"Lay here buttercup" Penelope said and Bella laid her head on the pillow on Penelope's lap.

"Well i gotta go" Derek said.

"Will you give me a ride home?" Penelope said making a puppy dog face.

"Of course i will baby girl" Derek said. "Bye Bella" he said and Bella sat up and he hugged her.

"Oh bye bye sugarplum. I'm gonna miss you tonight but I'll be back soon okay? I promise promise promise okay?" Penelope said hugging Bella.

"Okay" Bella smiled.

"You just rest and you'll be good as new very soon" Penelope said and Bella laid down.

Emily walked back to the bedroom and they headed out while Bella stayed up.

At the apartment's door they said goodbye.

"Wasn't Jeremy going to come back?" Penelope said.

"He said he would" Emily said. "I'll call him to see what happened." She said.

"Okay. So I'll see you tomorrow?" Penelope said. "I'll bring lunch!"

"Of course" Emily smiled. She loved that her friends also loved her daughter.

"Anything just call" Derek said.

"Thank you guys" Emily said. "For everything"

"No worries love. We're family" Penelope said and they all smiled.

"Bye" Derek said.

"Bye" Emily said and they left.

Emily called Jeremy and he said Marley wasn't feeling very good so he decided to stay in the hotel with her, which was a lie, he just didn't want to be reject by Bella again.
Emily went back to her bedroom and found Bella hugging Tramp and her blanket fast asleep. She went to the bathroom to change and when she got back the girl was still in the same position. She laid next to the child and let out a breath, relived it was over. No more horrible injections for the child. Isabella was doing better. She was eating a bit more, and she wasn't super pale now. She still had a cough, and a headache and her nose was congested but she was going to be okay.
She covered the girl up and kissed her forehead and went closer to her. It didn't take long for her sleep to catch her.

(Tuesday)

Emily woke up around 8. She smiled at the sight of Isabella asleep next to her. She got up, took a shower, got dressed and headed to the kitchen and made waffles.

A little over 9 she went up to wake Isabella.

"Hey! Bella" she said in a low voice close to the child's ear. "Wake up sleeping beauty"

Isabella's eyes opened a little and she smiled at the sight of her mother.

"Hi honey" Emily said smiling and then gave Bella a kiss on the forehead.

"Hi mom" Isabella said.

"Breakfast's ready" Emily said and the child sat up.

"Can I have just 5 more minutes?" Bella asked still a bit sleepy.

"No. I already gave you that. It's 5 past 9. And I was going to wake you up at 9" Emily said smiling.

"That doesn't count!" Bella said.

"Yes it does" Emily laughed and Bella couldn't help but laugh too. "Come on. Let's go" Emily said and helped Bella up. They ate the waffles and than decided to watch a movie.

It was a little over 10 when the intercom rang. Emily picked up and it was Jeremy. She buzzed him in.

"Who is it?" Bella asked.

"Your brother and Marley" Emily said a little concerned. She wasn't sure how Bella would feel about it. "Are you okay with them being here?" She asked.

"Sure" Bella said acting like it was no big deal. Emily knew her daughter too well to know she wasn't on the mood for talking about it so she just left it for later.

Shortly the doorbell rang and Emily went to open. "Good morning" she said.

"Good morning" Jeremy said. "We were wondering if we could hang out before we have to leave to Seattle again?" Jeremy asked.

"Of course. Come on in" Emily said and the couple walked to the couch where Bella was sitting watching tv and covered with a blanket.

"Hi" Marley said.

"Hi" Bella said with a little smile.

"Are you feeling better?" Jeremy asked.

"Yeah. A little. But I'll be fine" Isabella answered.

"Of course you will" he said and smiled at her.

Emily came and sat next to Bella on the couch and Marley and Jeremy sat on the other. They just watched the movie and didn't talk much. The only words they spoke were about the film. Which Bella felt glad. But when the movie was over Emily decided to talk about her plans of going to Seattle on the weekend.

"So I was thinking we could maybe go to Seattle and spend the weekend there and see everyone and maybe get some of your things if you want." Emily said and she could notice Isabella was a bit tensed.
"Would that be a good thing?" Emily asked. She wanted Bella to see her old friends.

"Sure. I guess" Bella said not looking at anyone.

"Alright than" Emily smiled choosing to ignore the fact that she could see that Bella didn't really wanted to.

"So will you guys stay at our house or?" Marley asked but before she finished Isabella said "Hilton". Then she looked at Emily and said "right?"

"Yeah. We'll stay in a hotel. Penelope is coming with us" Emily said and she smiled at the sign of relief on her daughter face.

"Oh okay" Marley said.

"We would love to have you guys for dinner at our house" Jeremy said. "Would you like to go Bella?" He asked the girl.

"Yeah" Bella said hiding a little smile. She loved her brother, she really did. She was just scared but she didn't want to hurt him.

"Okay cool" Jeremy smiled.

"Well speaking of food. We need to have lunch before we go to the airport" Marley said.

"Anyone up for spaghetti?" Emily asked.

"Yes" Bella smiled.

"Definitely" Jeremy said smiling at Bella.

Emily stood up and headed to the kitchen. She started getting the ingredients. "Bella?" She said.

"Yes?" Isabella answered.

"How about you cutting these tomatoes for me?" Emily smiled.

"Sure" Isabella said. She walked to the kitchen island carrying the blanket she was covering herself with and sat on a stool and covered her legs.

"Are you cold?" Emily asked already with her hand on the girl's forehead.

"No. I just like the way it feels. It's so soft" Bella said a little shy. Emily smiled and touched it.

"It is soft" she said and went back to cooking.

.

After they were done, they ate and suddenly it was time for Jeremy and Marley to leave for the airport.

"Well, we have to go now" Marley said.

"But we'll see you two this weekend then" Jeremy asked.

"Yeah" Emily said.

"Alright. See you then." Jeremy said and hugged Emily. He walked to Bella and hugged her. Emily could see how tense Isabella was.

"You take care okay?" He said.

"Okay. I'll miss you" she said.

"I'll miss you too" Jeremy said and let go of her.

"Bye Marley" Bella said and hugged Marley.

"Bye bye you" Marley smiled.

"Alright . So see you Saturday" Jeremy said.

"See you Saturday" Emily confirmed and shut the door.
She and Bella walked to the living room. Emily sat on the couch and pulled Bella into her lap.

"Are you okay?" Emily asked the young girl.

"Yeah" Bella said.

"Do you still feel sick?" Emily asked knowing Bella didn't want to talk about her brother.

"Yeah" Bella said with sadness in her voice as she laid her head on Emily's chest. Emily could feel it wet.

"Oh honey" Emily said as she noticed the kid was crying. "It's going to be okay." She kept saying and Bella didn't say a word, she just cried.
After a while she fell asleep. Which Emily thanked God. The kid needed some rest and the fact she was crying was not a good sign.

Isabella slept pretty much all afternoon on the couch while Emily did some paper work at the kitchen Island.

It was 6:34 when Chloe went over to give Bella her homework.

"She's asleep right now" Emily said as the young blonde walked in the apartment.

"There's quite a lot of homework actually. I'm really sorry. I was going to come sooner but Millie had a doctor's appointment and we just got home." Chloe said.

"Oh that's okay honey. Bella slept all afternoon. I don't think she'll sleep early today" Emily said.

"Would it be alright if I stayed here for a while to do some of it with her? I'm not very good at Geometry" Chloe asked.

"Is this just an excuse you gave your mother so you could hang out with her?" Emily asked. She knew Chloe was good in math, Bella had told her.

"Maybe" Chloe said embarrassed and Emily laughed.

"Come on let's wake her up" Emily said smiling.

They walked to the couch where Bella was and Emily sat. "Hey. You gotta wake up, Bells" she said soothing the girl's hair. "Look who is here" Emily said and Bella opened her eyes.

"Hi" she said when she saw Chloe.

"Hi" Chloe smiled noticing Bella looked a bit better. "We have a bunch of homework and I was wondering if we could do it together" she said.

"Sure" Bella said still a bit sleepy.

"So get up sleepy head. You two can join me on the dinning table." Emily said and Bella got up.
They walked to the dining room and sat next to each other and Emily on the other end of the table so their papers wouldn't get mixed up.

"So what do we have here today?" Bella asked mockingly.

"Geometry, French AND English" Chloe said.

"Holy Jesus" Isabella said look at the amount of papers. "This is just from today?" She asked.

"Yup" Chloe said.

"Good luck" Emily said making a face at all the homework.

"God save us" Chloe said.

"Oh! Does anyone wants some candy to help with all this homework?" Emily asked taking a bag of gummy bears out of her bag.

"You are God!" Chloe said and everyone laughed.

"Anyways. What should we do first?" Isabella asked.

"Well there's this group paper we have to do. Well, actually its just me and you. But anyways, it's English and we have to talk about an author so I was thinking maybe Jane Austen" Chloe said.

"Perfect. I have a book about her and I'm pretty sure everyone is just gonna look up online" Bella said standing up to get it. She went to the office and came back with a gigantic book about authors.

"Do you think we should do 2 for extra credit?" Chloe asked.

"No. Are you crazy? Look at the amount of homework we have! Why in the world would you want to do extra?" Isabella said.

"For better grades" Emily said.

"Mom, it's impossible to get more than an A. So there's no point" Isabella said and they laughed.

"Alright girls. Less talking and more thinking. Come on" Emily said and the girls started with the homework.

It was almost 8:30 when Penelope called. She asked Emily if she could take pizza for the girls and Emily said yes.
After about 20 minutes they finished the homework and it seemed timed because as soon as they put everything away Penelope rang the intercom.

"Chloe! It's Penelope. Can you open?" Emily asked since Isabella looked exhausted carrying her folder to the couch.

"Hey. Come here" Emily smiled at the tired look on Bella's face.

"I'm fine" Bella said as she sat down on Emily's lap and stared at her mother.

"I know you are" Emily said though her face did not match what she spoke. Isabella gave her mom a small smile. Emily hugged and kissed her.
"Come on" Emily said and they stood up and went to the kitchen. They got some plates, glasses and Coke and placed it on the dinner table.
Suddenly the door bell rang and Chloe went to open.

"Hello my loves!" Penelope greeted happily. She handed the pizza box to Emily and hugged Chloe.
"How are you sunshine?" Penelope asked Chloe.

"Good" Chloe said smiling.

Suddenly Bella walked out of the dining room as Emily got in.

"Hi mini" Penelope said and walked fast in the direction of the girl and gave her a big hug. Isabella coughed a bit and Penelope let go.

"You okay?" She asked a little scared.

"Im alright" Bella said smiling.

"Good." Penelope smiled. "Aw hug me" Garcia said and Bella hugged her again.

"Okay. You two. Let's eat" Emily said smiling at the scene of the two hugging.

Penelope smiled and they headed to the dining room. They started eating and talking about the day. Emily mentioned the amount of homework the girls had and Penelope agreed that was crazy. They were almost done with the pizza when Bella decided to ask if she could go to bed. She was sitting beside Emily so she went close to her mother and said very low "I wanna go to bed".

"It's not even 9 yet honey" Emily said hugging Bella.

Penelope and Chloe knew what Bella had asked.

"We can watch Doctor Who now. Huh?" Emily said.

"Okay" Bella said. She wanted to sleep but at the same time she didn't.

"Let's watch one episode and then we go to bed okay?" Emily said.

"Speaking of going to bed, I have to go" Chloe said.

"Will you come by tomorrow?" Isabella asked letting go of Emily.

"Sure. There will always be more homework" Chloe said and laughed.

"Oh God" Bella said.

Chloe walked to her and gave her a hug.
"I'll see you tomorrow than" Chloe said.

"Okay" Bella smiled. "Goodnight"

"Goodnight" Chloe told Bella. "Goodnight guys" she told Emily and Penelope.

"I have to go too. I work early tomorrow" Penelope said. "Bye my pumpkin" Penelope said running to hug Bella who stood up and hugged her. "I'll see you soon"

"Okay" Bella said. Penelope could see the kid was tired. Penelope and Chloe headed to the door and Emily followed behind while Bella headed to the couch. At the door they said their goodbyes and than left. Emily then took the things off the table and went to the couch to stay with Bella, who had already put Doctor Who on.

"So doctor who then bed?" Emily asked sitting down next to Isabella on the couch.

"Yeah" Bella said resting her head on her mother's arm. Emily smiled and threw one arm around the girl.

They had been watching tv for about 20 minutes in that same exact position, when suddenly Bella jumped up and ran to the bathroom. She went heavy into the toilet. So many tears were streaming down her face, she hated that was happening, she hated feeling like that. Emily ran close behind and held her hair and wrapped an arm around her stomach to help her stay up. She could see Isabella hated feeling like that. Bella threw up quite a lot and she cried the whole time. Once she was done she was really upset and still crying. She walked to the sink and washed her mouth while Emily flushed the toilet. When Emily was done she walked close to Bella and the girl just broke down. Emily heard a sob and she picked Bella up because she knew it would take a while for the kid to stop crying. She carried Isabella to the couch and just sat there with her baby on her arms.
"It's okay honey. You're going to get better" Emily said trying to calm Bella a bit, who didn't say anything just cried.
"It's okay. You're okay" Emily kept repeating as the girl kept crying.

After a while her crying subsided and the sobs were gone, leaving her with silent tears streaming.

"How about you take a shower, huh?" Emily said hoping that could relax the kid a little. Bella nodded yes.

"Come on than. Let's go" Emily said moving to stand. Bella got out of her lap and Emily grabbed her hand. She knew the kid wanted her close. "Come" Emily said with a sad smile and they headed upstairs.

Isabella got pajamas and headed to the bathroom.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" Emily asked.

"No. It's okay mom" Bella said.

"Okay than I'll take a shower too alright?" Emily said.

"Okay" Bella said and closed the bathroom door.

"Anything go get me or yell" Emily said heading to the door.

"Okay" Bella agreed and turned the shower on. Emily than headed to her bedroom got her clothes and went to shower.

Isabella didn't take long in the shower. She finished, got dressed and than sat on the floor in her room with a book. She read a couple of pages and than lay right there. She kept reading a bit but suddenly she fell asleep.

After about 6 minutes Emily walked in the room. She smiled at the sight of her baby on the floor with a book.
"Oh Bella" she said and walked to the child.

"Honey. Let's go to bed" she whispered on the girl's ear. "Come on. You're on the floor" she said and Bella opened her eyes.
"Hi. Lay in bed. Come on" Emily said with a smile and helped the girl up. Isabella laid on the bed and Emily tucked her in.
"Goodnight Bella" Emily said.

"Goodnight mom" Bella whispered and turned to the side. Emily kissed her cheek and walked to the door. She turned the night light on and the other light off and headed to the kitchen. She poured herself a glass of wine and sat to watch some tv. After a while Penelope called.

"How is everything?" Penelope asked.

"It's alright. She threw up again but otherwise" Emily said.

"Oh no. My poor munchkin" Penelope said sad.

"She's gonna be alright. She's asleep now" Emily said.

"Well, anything you know how to reach me." Penelope said.

"Thank you Garcia" Emily said.

"Oh just take care of our tiny, okay?" Penelope said.

"I will" Emily said with a smile. She loved the fact that Penelope loved her daughter so much.

"Goodnight" Penelope said. Emily said goodnight back and hung up. She put her glass on the sink and headed upstairs. She went to Bella's room to check on the girl and she was fast asleep hugging her blanket. She then went to her bedroom and went to bed too hoping that the kid would have a good night of sleep.
