"There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds." — Laurell K. Hamilton


AMLEIA TOSSED AND TURNED IN BED. Before she sighed as she leant back into Aaron's hold.

Time had come and gone and Jack was already five months old.

And Amelia had gotten better, she still had her days where she was self conscious but Aaron did what he had promised. He had stayed by her side and taken care of her.

A groan came from him as Amelia accidentally elbowed him in his stomach. "Sorry!" Amelia spoke sitting up as she watched him place a hand to his stomach rubbing it before his other rubbed his eyes wiping the sleep away from them.

"I didn't mean to hit you, I was just trying to get comfortable." She explained smiling.

Aaron nodded waving her off. "It's okay." He paused opening his eyes as he looked around the room before looking at the clock that sat near their bed.

"What's wrong?"

Aaron ran a hand through his hair. "Amelia, it's two in the morning, why are you still up?"

She shrugged. "I can't sleep. I tried, I'm just not tired I guess." She sighed softly moving back into Aaron's hold as he wrapped his arms loosely around her waist.

Aaron let out a breath as he placed his head in her neck. "I'm still tired. And you know me and the team have a case tomorrow, JJ said it might be out of town." He mumbled into her neck.

He had just come back from a case around a week ago but they hadn't had any out of state cases.

"I know, I didn't mean to wake you up." Amelia whispered back.

"I know you didn't." Aaron chuckled lightly his deep voice sending shivers down Amelia's spine. Before he began leaving light kisses into her neck.

Amelia began to blush profusely. "You know what?" Amelia spoke pulling out his hold. "You go back to bed and I'm gonna go get some water!" Amelia smiled getting up quickly from the bed as Aaron slumped back into it as he sighed.

Amelia rushed into their bathroom looking at herself in the mirror.

Before she turned the water up washing her face with it.
