Dangerous feelings

Chapter 13

Noah hadn't stirred for the entire car journey back to Alison's house. He was completely shattered after such a long and confusing day and evening. Emily had been told the list of events that had occurred from the moment the crash happened at roughly 6pm to when she met Noah for the first time in over three years around 2am. Luckily a nice stranger, a young woman in her 30's, who was also involved but did not have life threatening injuries had heard his cries from within the mangled car in which he sat in his car seat. She had removed him as quickly and carefully as she could and kept him calm and warm but most importantly away from the wreckage until the emergency services had arrived. He was too young to really grasp the situation all he knew was that his mother wasn't with him but he didn't quite know why.

Emily decided to let him sleep in the bed with her and Alison, she didn't want to disturb him from his sleep and if he woke up and needed anything then they would be right there for him. Noah hadn't released his tight grip on Emily once since the moment he had fallen asleep in her arms, so she slid under the bed with slight difficulty and with them both in the same clothes they had been wearing all day. Alison slid in to the bed beside Emily after quickly getting herself changed and wrapped an arm comfortably around the brunettes waist whilst snuggling into the opposite side of her neck to Noah. Emily smiled to herself as she kissed them both on the tops of their heads one after the other before finally closing her eyes and allowing sleep to overcome her.

All three of them had ended up sleeping in past noon, having finally gotten to sleep around five am that morning and the stressful events completely wearing them all out. As Emily opened her eyes the memories of what the doctor had explained to her all came flooding back to her and she took several deep breathes to calm herself down. Alison and Noah mirrored each other perfectly against her sides in the same positions as they had fallen asleep in and although Emily didn't want to disturb either of them she knew they would both be hungry and she needed to wake them soon so that they could start their day. Her friends would be over soon enough for their trip for children's supplies and more importantly for the answers to their questions which at the moment only she held.

Emily shook Alison gently because until her girlfriend moved off of her Emily had no chance of escaping the refinement of the bed. Thankfully the blonde slowly began to wake up after several moans of slight refusal and a full body stretch. Alison craned her neck up and caught Emilys lips with her own in a soft kiss, she couldn't believe how she had only known the brunette for such a short time and yet Emily was now her entire world. She smiled at the sight of Noah who was still sleeping peacefully against Emily, she would welcome the young boy with open arms, anyone to do with Emily was welcome in her own life. The blonde slid slowly out of the bed and made her way into the bathroom with a couple more stretches thrown in whilst Emily slid out and made her way carefully downstairs. Noah didn't move an inch from his position but it was inevitable that the young boy would wake up soon and that would lead to him realising his surrounding were completely different to normal.

Emily tried to cook everyone breakfast but she found it incredibly difficult whilst holding her son in one arm. Every task she attempted to do, including seemingly simple ones such as pouring them each a glass of orange juice, she ended up giving up on. Luckily Alison came into the kitchen at the right moment and took over from the struggling brunette.

"You can put him down Emily, he needs to wake up soon or else he'll struggle to settle tonight" Alison carefully said, not wanting to upset the brunette in any way.

"I know, but I haven't seen him in three years... I'm just enjoying it" Emily replied as she took a seat on top of the kitchen counter opposite where Alison was cooking, Noah still clutched tightly in her arms.

As the smells from the food cooking started to fill the room the young brown haired boy began to stir. His brown eyes opened slowly and he moved his head away from Emily in an attempt to take in his new surroundings. He smiled tentatively as he laid eyes on the pancakes that were now stacked on a plate opposite him and Emily before reaching out in a failed attempt to grab one which made Alison and Emily both chuckle.
