It was unlike Emma to stay in bed past seven in the morning but today it was nearly nine and she hadn't stirred. The past had caught up with her. All of the things that her mind had buried or had stripped out had been restored and she felt raw. She also wasn't certain how things were going to be with Scott now. Namor showing up as he had with a child he claimed was their daughter in tow had been a shock to Emma. Would it be nuclear to Scott? For the first time in a long time Emma was afraid and simply didn't want to get out of bed.

	Scott takes a deep breath and tries to fight off another wave of fatigue. "Did he even tell you her name?" Scott asks, holding Emma's hands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No. Just that she was ours and that we needed to sit down and discuss things. He agreed to let Hank look her over and such, which is where she is now I think. I sort of blanked out in shock. That doesn't happen often." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll be okay, Emma. The focus is your daughter right now." he says, rising from his chair. "Go see her. I'll handle Namor." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you." She squeezes his hands and leaves. When Scott returns home some hours later, Emma is on the couch, the little girl asleep with her head in Emma's lap. Emma pets her honey-colored hair and is singing, very softly, to the girl. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Emma might have heard rumbling and a crash while she was with the little girl. In either event, the news traveled quickly.

Scott and Namor fought. Namor was thought to have the upper hand but then he was forcibly removed from Utopia with a well-placed optic blast.

No one has seen Namor since.

The bruise on Scott's face shows visibly and the swelling is a bitch, even after the ice pack.

"Ladies. I hope things are going well."

	"She's sleeping. The noises scared her earlier." Emma looks up and her eyes widen. "Scott? Oh my god, darling, are you okay?" Gently and deftly she shifts the little girl enough that Emma can get off the couch and go to Scott. "Oh this looks terrible..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This? This is nothing. You should see the other guy." Scott says, wincing a little. "Logan's given me worse for telling him he can't just come and go as he pleases." he chuckles, wincing again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, I'm fine. I don't need to bother Hank about it." Scott says. "He'll want me to sit down and rest and not work for a few days and I can't afford to do that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thewhitequeen 2012-01-29 03:41 am UTC (link)
	"True." She slowly smiles. "My daughter is asleep on our couch, Scott." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She looks just like you, Emma. She's going to break a lot of hearts when she gets older." he says quietly. "Namor didn't surface earlier. He'll be back, though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thewhitequeen 2012-01-29 04:04 am UTC (link)
	"I hope she doesn't break any hearts. She's beautiful and gentle and I want her to be better than me." She wraps her arms around Scott and rests her head on his chest. "She called me Mama. I nearly broke down." She takes a deep breath. "He's probably gathering his army." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	monochromesight 2012-01-29 04:09 am UTC (link)
	"Probably. This is going to get ugly. You should take the her and the Blackbird and go back to New York for awhile." Scott suggests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Emma looks at him for a long moment. Her eyes look worried and tired but she nods in agreement. "We'll leave as soon as the Blackbird is ready then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
