CHAPTER 18: THE AFFAIR
Veron has a look of shock on his face he cannot believe it, obviously the nurse didn't know that Veron is not her fiance but it is a real shock
to veron as he couldn't think who the father could be as she has not had a relationship with anyone for the last year or so or he would have
known about it. He did not know everything about his team members but he felt that he knew enough about them to know when they were in a
relationship or not and since Emma had broken off her affair with Army leutenant Craig Curzon has she had another relationship. She had been
heartbroken when she found out that he had a wife and children and had had trouble getting past it.
***FLASHBACK***
Emma and Craig are at her flat and they have been seeing each other for the past year or so, she has applied for a job at NCIS which Craig
dissapproves of as he believes women should stay at home, look after the children, look after the house and her husband. She has found out
from her best friend who works at NCIS Vicky Smith that he has been seen out with another woman who is claiming to be his wife.
"This has to stop!" Emma shouts
"You weren't saying that last night" Craig said smirking
"Thats before i found out you have a wife!" Emma said holding up a picture of him with his wife Emma De Carteret and their two children
"So what i have a wife?" Craig asks
"You're not even going to deny it?" Emma asks
"No, i am allowed to have a mistress" Craig says
"Is that all i am to you?" Emma asks tears falling down her face
"Yes that is all you ever were to me and thats it!" Craig says
"Get out!" Emma screams
"Don't say that" Craig says
"Out!" Emma opens the door and points her hand to the empty space out side
"But i love you" Craig says
"Save that for your wife!" Emma says and turns to look away from him
"Leave me and i'll kill you" Craig says angrily
"I dare you" Emma says
***END OF FLASHBACK***
Veron walks into the room and sees the nurse doing an ultrasound and the nurse look at Veron smiling.
"Would you like to see the baby?" The nurse asks
"Yeah sure" Veron says sounding tired
"I'm so sorry i didn't tell you" Emma said
"We will talk about it later" Veron said smiling and looking at the monitor
"Congratulations" The nurse said and handed Veron a picture of the tiny baby
"Thank you" Emma said defeated
The nurse packed up the machines and hurried out of the room, she quietly closed the door and watched through the window as Veron took a seat
near the bed and sat down.
"Why the hell didn't you tell me about this?" Veron asked
"I didn't know honest" Emma said sounding like a little school girl
"What the hell happened?" Veron asked
"I'll tell you if you promise not to do anything stupid" Emma said
"I never do anything stupid i just get even" Veron said
"Just don't flip out" Emma said
"Just tell me already" Veron said
***FLASHBACK***
"I'm so glad you called" Craig says
"I don't know what i am doing!" Emma said
"You are doing the right thing" Craig said
"What did you want to speak to me so urgently about?" Emma asks
"I have divorced my wife so i can be with you" Craig said
"Really?" Emma asks happily
"Yes i can't be without you" Craig says walking up to Emma and kissing her
"My place is just round the corner do you wanna have coffee?" Emma asks
"No i have a better idea why don't you come back to mine" Craig offers
"Sure" Emma says and gets into his car
They arrive at Craig's place and open the door, they barely has time to step in the front door before they start taking each others clothes off
they manage to make it to the couch as they begin to fall deeper and deeper for each other, when the phone rings.
"Don't you need to get that?" Emma asks between breaths
"No i will just let the machine get it" Craig says his hands all over her
The phone rings several times until the answer machine kicks in.
"You have reached the Curzon house please leave a message" The machine says
"Hey honey its me, the kids aren't feeling too well so we are gonna come back home, we will be back by 3" Craig's Wife says
"Divorced her huh?" Emma says getting off the couch and begins to dress herself
"Yeah she has just taken the kids out for the day" Craig says
"Oh cut the BS" Emma says grabbing her shoes and forcing them on her feet
"Don't you walk on me!" Craig shouts getting angry
"Just watch me!" Emma says grabbing her bag and walking towards the door
Craig jumps off the couch and runs to the door blocking it and forcing Emma to try to get past him without any luck. He then grabs her by the
arms and looking extremely angry.
"Don't you ever try o walk out on me!" He says
"Screw you! get your hands off me!" Emma screams trying to get out of his iron grip
"How dare you talk to me like that!" Craig says
"Just let me go" Emma says tears streaming down her face
"Never, you are mine" Craig says trowing Emma to the floor
"No please no!" Emma begs
Craig climbs on top of her holding her arms to the floor and rapes her.
***END OF FLASHBACK***
"Why the hell didn't you tell me!" Veron asks
"I just wanted it to go away" Emma says crying
"That bastard! i'm gonna kill him!" Veron says
"That is exactly why i didn't want to tell you" Emma says
"But he raped you!" Veron says
"I know, i haven't told anyone about it until now" emma says
"When did this happen?" Veron asks
"About 4 weeks ago" Emma said
"That afternoon when you had called in sick, that was the real reason" Veron asked
"Yes, i was too ashamed and scared to leave the house" Emma said
"The nurse said that the reason you were not getting better is that you were pregnant and the high blood pressure was having an effect on the
baby which caused you to keep losing conciouness" Veron informed her
"How did you know i was pregnant anyway?" Emma asked
"I pretended i was your fiance" Veron said
"You did what?" Ema asked shocked
"Well i really wanted to know how you were and they wouldn't tell me unless i was family and since i can't pass of as your brother i decided
to do a bit of undercover work" Veron said
"I wondered why they looked at me funny when i said you were the best boss i had ever had" Emma said smiling at last
"You and baby need the rest, i'll be back tomorrow to check on you both" Veron said
"Boss, could you not tell any one about this, i would like to tell Vicky and the others myself" Emma asked
"Sure, just get better soon" Veron says and closes the door
Emma closed her eyes wondering what the furture would be like with a baby, his baby, she hated him for doing this to her but at the same time
she was glad to be free of him. She did not hear the door opening and then closing again, she didn't know there was anyone else in the room
with her untill the visitor began to talk.
"Hello Emma" Craig said
