The regret, the anger at herself, had been immediate and overwhelming, and they had brought Emma to turn herself in right away; more specifically she had knocked at John's door so that he'd let her in and she could confess everything, just in case it might get him in trouble too and they'd need to offer the same version. That, and the guilt for what she had done was all about him, not Beckman. "Today, when Morgan and Alex distracted you, your computer was still connected to the NSA database..." Classified stuff she didn't have clearance to see, and that was exactly why her instincts had taken over in a way that only that monster could bring out of her. "And I took this flashdrive and used your credentials to find a bad guy that has nothing to do with the Intersect," she showed him the flashdrive and put it over his desk, her hand shaking, "It was a stupid impulse, I didn't even think, I saw an opening and I've been looking for that monster for a decade... so I did it. And then I realized what I had done, so I didn't even look at what’s inside. I... am not here to ask you not to tell Beckman, or to forgive me, but because I want you to know how sorry I am, I never meant to use you in any way, and I don't want that monster to turn me into a traitor or make you think we weren’t actually friends. I was just weak and I... I want him gone.” 

She hadn't needed the hospital, not when the wound was that small; the only danger had been from the bleeding, because she had been knocked unconscious before being able to patch it up. At least the NSA doctor was her friend too, which made a lot easier to be checked up at her over-furnished home, with Casey hovering over her because for some reason he hadn't shrugged off the fact that she had taken a bullet for him even though it was a completely normal thing in her opinion. Less normal was the 'ah yes, I know why we are here' attitude from her friend, as if she wanted to stay home for any special reason beside not wanting to alert the Awesomes of it. In fact, she had asked Casey to stay - there are no secrets with him - so he'd also relax. "Don't worry, you and the baby are perfectly fine, but I'd suggest taking it very easy for the next few weeks and more tests-" the doctor had started talking in a reassuring tone, but Emma hadn't had the chance to focus on anything except the confusing first sentence. "The what? I'm not pregnant," she replied with an incredulous smile, "I'm on the pill." "... Did you forget to take-" "No, the opposite, I didn't even stop at the end of the box, just started the next one because I'm trying to fight bad headaches. The gynecologist suggested it, that should be extra protection, right? Must be a false positive... Why are you looking at me like that?" "I did extra tests when I realized it was positive. To check on..." she paused seeing Emma's expression, "You are nine weeks pregnant." "But I haven't been sick!" "Well, every woman is different..." Emma stared at her, not daring to even glance in Casey's direction. "... Yeah, I'm gonna need a minute... or... several... hours..." "Of course." The doctor said a few more parting words, which Emma didn't actually hear, just trying to put things together. And a plan, of course, and a plan B and C.

"See," she told Casey once they were alone, chocked up, "I told you we shouldn't worry about the bullet."

“Honey, I know about the whole tidying up thing,” Emma pointed out patiently, before turning to him and gently holding his face in her hands, “And I trust you. We said we’d be exclusive, and I trust you to keep your word, you may say you are not a hero and other stupid things like that, but you are sure as hell a man of honor. You got a code. So I do expect you to not sleep with her again, no matter how hot she is, I’m not worried about that.” A smile, and she patted his cheek just as gently before letting go, “Thing is, she knows we are doing it and we are exclusive, and if she touches you or flirts with you she’s disrespecting me. And that means I get to break her ribs.”
