It felt real| h&c

*Authors note~I'm so excited to write this I feel like it's a valid reaction that's not spoken of enough*

Trigger warnings~ mentions of death nightmares

Prompt~ tumblr I-write-sometimes-maybe~ Hey, love!
I just wanted to say that I absolutely love that you write for Emily because she's my favorite, and you write her so well.
There's this idea I think you'd be AMAZING at.
Emily finally comes back from the dead' and is back with reader in their shared home, and the Doyle case is done with but the reader still gets nightmares of her death.
Maybe the reader took place of Derek and she was the one with Emily before the ambulance took her to the hospital, so the nightmares are her dealing with that all over again.
Free reign to do anything and everything you'd like to!
Thanks, love! You're doing amazing and you're so talented!

You'll never get over the memory burned into your brain of your girlfriend on the floor bleeding out with a stake in her stomach. You had her blood on your hands as you attempted to put pressure on the bleed. "Baby! Please Emmy let me see those beautiful eyes please" you begged trying to keep the tears from your voice. "Let me go" she murmured going in and out of consciousness. "Stay with me baby! Emily don't you leave me. You promised forever please em squeeze my hand" you begged her to just hold on. The medics would be here soon, they would. "That's it babe!" You encouraged her weak squeeze as the medics came bursting in.

It's a blur, one minute your there and she's in and out of life with her blood covering your shaking hands to being in the hospital waiting room as JJ informed everyone she never made it off the table. Sometimes that's where the nightmares end, other times your transported back to watching Doyle and Serbrus  beat your girlfriend over and over till she dances on the inch of life before the squash that last speck of life from her body as you are tied and forced to watch her die knowing you didn't save her. You knew it wasn't factual but it always felt so real.

You'd had these dreams since that night, even though your girlfriend had actually survived and had to hide out in Paris till Doyle was captured, which he had been just three days ago, now your lover was back getting ready to sleep next to you for the first time in seven months. You saw her brand, you kissed over every inch of it while reassuring her it changed nothing, she was still as beautiful as ever and that part of her body contained the most precious jewel, her heart.

Truly you didn't tell Emily because you didn't want to worry her, after all she'd been the one to die, not you. So you both feel asleep in each others arms for what you hoped would be a nightmare free sleep now she was home. You were wrong, you knew that it was foolish to think it would disappear so quickly.

Your legs and arms flailing around, sweat soaking your body and sheets as you watched your girlfriend die again. "Emily, Emmy no please wake up" you sobbed which caused the other woman to wake up after your left hand hit her breast. "Ow? What the-" she was cut off by another wail, "no no no fuck you JJ she's not she's alive fuck you" you sobbed tears steaming down your cheeks as you remained stuck in that vivid dream. Emily felt her heart drop, you thought she was dead? And you blamed JJ? But why? JJ was following orders and wasn't able to even tell will that she was alive. Of course she understood your upset but she made a mental note to but JJ some of her favourite wine due to everyone blaming her.

"Shhh, angel? I'm here. It's your Emmy" she murmured hesitantly reaching out to dry your tears only to by your body bolting up right as your gasped for air. Bleary eyes and in the throes of a panic attack you attempted to come back to earth. "Don't touch me! Don't fucking touch me" you sobbed still thinking you were there where the team tried to console you but you could focus on was the sentence repeating in your brain. Your Emily was dead. Gone.

"Oh angel, I'm sorry I'm so so sorry my love. I'm here I'm safe. Your safe, we are safe me you and serg" she mumbled to you in a hope of breaking through the haze. You rapidly blinked and whimpered, "em?"

"That's right baby I'm here" she murmured to you causing you to throw yourself at the raven haired women and sob. All the pain, frustration, confusion and blame of the last seven months overwhelming you. "It's okay sweetheart, you let it all out. I'm right here I promise" she murmured shifting you on her her lap and rocking you soothingly. She guided your hand to rest over her heart, "feel that angel?"

You nodded through your tears, "it beats for you baby. I'm still here and alive because of you" she whispered as you calmed down in her lap, "I love you baby" which you murmured the same back before Sergio felt a little left out and tried to squeeze himself between the two of you in an attempt to steal some attention, "oh serg" you chuckled causing Emily to smile at you. "Mom is back huh? You missed her too hm? I'm not gonna be the favourite am I?" You muttered to the black cat as he tried to nuzzle close to his mom. You pouted at Sergio secretly loving seeing your girlfriend with her cat again. A little yawn escaped you, Emily immediately shifted for you to lay on her chest with serigo tucked in between the pair of your legs. This is what was real, right now the love between you and your little family was real.
