I Can't Let You Go

Lockdown

"That is a good idea," Jenny told her on the phone. 
"But..." Emilia sighed.
"Kit wants to know and be sure that you are safe. That is not a bad thing. I... I'd prefer you to go there with him." Jenny continued. "Away from the city, from people. That is the best decision that you can make." 
"But mom. What if... something ... what if you get this ... virus and..." she was walking up and down in the room and she was clearly nervous. Kit was staring at her from the couch. He knew his idea might not the best, but... he only cared about her and her safety. He read a lot of things, a lot of bad things about that new disease and what that can cause, and Emilia was more endangered than him or her mother. 
"If I get this... you can do nothing honey. I mean if I get this you can't come out and nurture me. No. You have to stay away from it as far as you can." Jenny was so calm and kind. 
"I don't know." Emilia took a deep breath, and her eyes met with Kits. He smiled a bit at her. He doesn't want to force her to make a decision. He doesn't want to force her to leave London if she doesn't want to. It was just an idea. "But you ... we need to buy you groceries and ..."
"Ben is already on that." Jenny laughed. "He'll be here soon and as I know him, he bought the whole shop for me." she joked. "Emilia do not think about that. Just... go and enjoy it. Think about it. Teddy would love to be outside in a huge garden." she tried to convince her. 

Kit watched her walked out of the room with her phone, and he grabbed his. He got many cancellations about filming and new auditions. Everyone got scared of that thing. He opened the browser and started to scroll it. The news was horrible and worrying. No one knows a lot about that new Chinese virus, but it was already obvious how dangerous is that. He wiped his hair back from his face. A minute later he saw Emilia stopped at the doorway. 
"So?" He smiled at her. 
"She thinks that is a good idea, but..." Emilia started and took a deep breath. Ted was at Kit's legs and tried to climb up to his lap. He stretched his hands to raise him up and he was scraping his ears. 
"But you don't want to come." Kit sighed.
"I want to." Emilia walked closer, put her phone down, then sit next to him. "I really want to, but ... Kit you know it is not that easy. She..."
"Now stop." Kit placed his hand to her hand which was on her tight. "Do not start this. It doesn't matter. What matters now is your safety. Okay?"
"If she comes there..." she raised her eyes at him.
"Then we'll tell her the truth." he shrugged his shoulders. 
"Sure." Emilia rolled her eyes and pulled a face. 
"Em. I don't care. I care about you and only you. Nothing else." he placed his fingers to her chin and turned her head to himself. "Okay?" 
"Okay." she smiled a bit. He leaned closer to her, but Teddy licked their chins before he could kiss her. 
"TED!" Kit wiped his face but Emilia just giggled, from her heart. 
"It seems someone is jealous." he grabbed the tiny puppy and took it from his lap. Raised him to her face and let him lick her face again. 
"If you continue like this... I'll be the one who will be jealous." Kit laughed a bit. Emilia put Ted down to the floor and turned to him. 
"Well..." Em bit her lower lip. "You have every reason to be jealous." She raised her leg, put it around him, and sat on his lap, and leaned closer to kiss him.
"I love you Clarke." he closed the gap between their lips and thrust his tongue to her mouth.

"Yeah, I finished with packing." She told to the phone and closed her suitcase. "Did you..."
"Don't worry." Kit answered and closed the fridge in his Suffolk house. "I bought everything. We have food and everything else for weeks. If not months." he laughed. 
"Dogfood?" Emilia raised a brow and her eyes stopped on Ted.
"The one you wrote to the list. You should trust me a little." Kit added.
"Because you never forget anything, right?" Em teased him and checked her bags once more. 
"Touché Clarke." Kit admitted. "Ahm... when you can come?"
"Do we know anything about her?" she sat to the edge of the bed.
"I thought we discussed it." Kit rolled his eyes.
"We did. We did... I just... want to know. I don't want surprises." she explained. 
"I've talked with her." Kit sat down "She ... stuck in Scotland. In her parent's house. So she'll probably ... can't manage to come to London. It would be a miracle." 
"Those are good news. I think." she sighed. 
"So. When I can expect you to arrive?" Kit asked her again.
"Soon. I promise." Emilia answered and they put the phone down... she was so unsure. She doesn't believe it is a good idea. She still has many doubts and questions, not to mention the thing that Rose said she stuck in Scotland, doesn't mean she really stuck there. She was pro at lying. They could have learned that already. Ted went to her legs and immediately laid down to his back. Raised his legs to the air, and Emilia started to scratch his belly. "We are going on some kind of holiday. What do you think about it?" she giggled with Ted and climbed down from the bed and continued playing with him.
