[8] Hope
Emmy returns to her home and immediately rushes up the staircase to find her baby daughter sound asleep in her crib. John smiles from the chair in the corner of the nursery, seeing that Emmy is home safe.
"Thanks for staying with Hope, John. You can head home now. We've got it from here." Chad hugs his fellow officer and sends him home after a long day and a half of watching his infant daughter.
Emmy lifts her daughter out of the crib and holds her close to her body, feeling the warmth of her soft skin against her.
She walks around the nursery slowly, talking to her daughter as she migrates around the soft colored room.
Chad watches as Emmy carries Hope around. He is happy that both of his girls are back together again. Everything he could ever need is right here in front of him.
Though, one thing is still eating away at him from Emmy's time in the hospital. He knew she was lying when she said she didn't know what happened to her father. He knows that Emmy was not telling the full truth when the questions turned to inquiries about the Police Chief.
The entire station will have their minds set to searching for their Chief. Right now, Emmy is the only one who can help with that investigation but Chad sees that it is clear she wants nothing to do with the search.
He wonders if she will tell him now that they are alone.
"Hey Emmy?" Chad asks. She looks up at him, a small smile on her face forming when she thinks about her perfect family. "Where's your dad?"
Emmy's face immediately changes.
"I don't know." She replies, obviously lying.
Chad shakes his head and laughs softly. "You used to be a lot better at lying to me. You've lost your touch Em."
Emmy turns around and sets Hope back down in her crib. She walks right up to Chad, standing inches from him.
"I told you and I told the police too, I don't know where he is." Emmy grinds her teeth together.
"I don't believe you." Chad replies honestly. "As your husband, I want to, but as a cop, I know I can't."
Emmy nods. She's pissed. She knows he sees right through her. "Fuck you Chad." She raises her hand and slaps him in the cheek before storming out of the house.
