It had been some days since the case and Emma was still shaken up by it. She was slowly but surely getting better. James and Norman were taking care of her.
Emma had tried to go back to work, but Yuugo had immediately noticed that she wasn't feeling too good. So he sent her back home.
Norman hadn't left for work yet when she came back home. Him and James were still home.
« Emma? Weren't you working today? »
The cheetah let out a sigh.
« Yes, but my dad said I should go take some rest. »
« I agree with him. »
Emma gave him a pout before Norman crouched to be at the same level as James.
« James, your mission for today is to make sure mom gets some rest, okay? »
The little boy determinedly nodded as he went to hug his mother. Norman got up.
« I'm going to work now. Please get some rest while I'm out, sunshine. »
Norman gave her a kiss on the temple before giving one to James as well. After some last hugs, the goat left the house, letting mother and son alone.
Emma let out a sigh before feeling a tug on her pants. She looked down to see James looking up at her.
« Mama needs hug! »
The ginger-haired young woman chuckled as she crouched down to be at the same level as her son. As soon as she knelt down, James launched himself on her to hug her once again. His mother hugged him back.

When Norman came back home after work, he found Emma and James cuddling together and sleeping on the couch. He let out a chuckle as he went to find a blanket that he put on top of them.
He went to prepare their supper right after. James woke up first. He went to the kitchen and laid his head against his father's legs, closing his eyes again. Norman looked down to look at his son.
« Slept well, James? »
The little boy nodded as he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand. The goat let out a chuckle as he prepared their plates.
« Go wake your mom up. Dinner is ready. »
Nodding again, the little boy ran to the living room where he carefully and gently shook his mother. Emma stirred in her sleep before opening her eyes. A soft smile appeared on her lips when her eyes landed on the little boy. She trapped him in a hug, earning a yelp from him followed by a chuckle as she started tickling him with kisses.
With James in her arms, she went to the dining hall and put the boy in his seat. She went to help Norman prepare the plates before going to eat.
James was happily blabbering about his day to his father. Emma was quietly listening to them.

When Emma went back to work, after a few days of rest, she asked her father if he had some news about the two little girls.
« The little girls? Yeah, the hospital called two days ago and they wanted to talk to you, since you're the one that basically saved them. I told them you were resting and shouldn't be disturb. »
