A/N: Just got to say a lot of people do not understand or like the relationship Emily and JJ have with Will. I find that sad. I have based that on a situation in my family. My sister and her ex-husband were adult enough to realize they brought 2 beautiful children into the world and they could either poison the kids with pettiness and bickering or work together to focus on what is best for the children. To this day, nearly 30 years later, her ex and his wife are still invited to family functions and their kids are now well-adjusted young women with families of their own. Maybe if more people who split up concentrated on what's best for the kids instead of harping on their ex the world would be a better place.

So, that said, here is number 67. Hope you enjoy a little fluff leading into a case file in 68.

Happy Reading!

Sunday morning JJ runs her fingers through her wife's hair. Brunette locks are splayed out across her chest and an arm is curled protectively around the babies. JJ's free hand runs over the just-getting-active twins, who are heading into week 24.

"Mama is already protecting you guys. Yes, she is." She twirls a lock in her fingers. "And she always will. We both will but your mama especially. She has a bad habit of looking out for others before herself. It's part of why I love her so much."

As one twin decides it will be fun to repeatedly kick JJ's bladder, she moans. She reluctantly slides out of her wife's embrace and hurries to the bathroom.

"Easy, guys. Easy. I'll make more room in a second!" she promises.

When she gets back to the bedroom she smiles when she sees Emily cuddled up to the blonde's pillow. Knowing she won't get back to sleep, JJ pulls on her robe and grabs the book she had been reading, as well as the baby monitors. She moves to the recliner to use the rising sun to help her read a couple chapters of Gerri Hill's latest before Henry and Rocky start to stir. It is a peaceful morning and she knows she'll need to enjoy them while she can. Once there are four young ones in the house they will all be vying for attention. She smiles.

"I can't wait," she whispers as she starts to daydream instead of read.

Sure there will be arguments, hurt feelings, fighting, teasing, injuries, and lots of tears. But even more so there will be laughter, playing, singing, and, most importantly, love. Her eyes slide back to the beauty in the bed. Emily will do her best to make sure their children have the type of childhood she had wished for.

"Work may take us away sometimes, guys, but we will always fight to get home to you. And we will always, always love you. Okay?" She gets a swift kick against her hand. "You say okay," she says with a grin.

She hears Henry and Alaska starting to stir so she sets her book aside to go get her kids ready for the day. Morgan would be there in a couple hours to take Henry to the airport to meet Reid for the flight to New Orleans. JJ smiles again. She loves her family so much. Both blood relations and those who are family by choice are some of the best blessings in her life.

Emily straightens the sweater Henry wears as she kneels before him. "Now you be good for Uncle Spencer, okay? Listen to him and no running away from him, alright?"

"Okay, Mama. I love Unca 'Pence. I listen to him," Henry promises.

She gives him a hug and a kiss. "Good boy. Promise to give your little sister a kiss from all of us. Tell her we look forward to meeting her soon."

He nods. "I tell her. Tell Ska and Rocky I bring them a present."

Emily chuckles. "I'll tell them." She stands and looks at Reid. "If you need anything give us a call. Enjoy your time with Henry and with Ethan."

Reid grins. "I will. Thanks for this trip, Em."

"You have that backwards. We owe you thanks for taking Henry down there." She gives him a hug. "Have fun and forget about work for a while, Handsome."

"I will. Promise." He looks down at Henry. "Ready to go, Little Jedi?"

Henry puts up the Vulcan V. "Live long and prosper."

Reid and Emily chuckle. "That works," Reid concedes with a shrug.

Henry looks towards the Lexus. "Bye, Unca Mo'gan!"

Morgan waves. "See you, Henry. Have fun!"

Emily watches until Reid and Henry disappear into the crowds at National Airport. She then turns and hobbles back over to the Lexus.

"Thanks for driving us, Derek."

"No problem. Something tells me even though you now just need one crutch driving isn't something you should be doing."

"True." She settles into the seat for the drive home. "I miss him already." Morgan just pats her leg. "He made me promise to teach him to ride his bike when he gets home," she says proudly.

Morgan smiles. "The one you bought before he could walk?"

Emily chuckles. "Yep. I plan to make a day of it. We'll go get him a helmet then come home and take it up to the basketball court so he has plenty of room to learn to ride and how to brake."

"Training wheels staying on?"

"Definitely. I won't take those off until he's 18 or so."

Morgan starts to laugh. "I can so totally see that, Crazy Woman."

Emily just grins, her mind already picturing the day spent with her son. Morgan lets her have those thoughts a second before posing his next question.

"So, when do we repaint the nursery?"

Emily shrugs. "I don't know. I'd say next weekend or the weekend after but you won't be around to help. So it will prob- -"

"What do you mean I won't be around to help?" he interrupts in confusion.

Emily grins. "Oh, did I forget to mention you are on vacation starting next Friday? Hotch signed off on it and since your mother and sisters are taking the time, too, you can't back out."

Morgan glares at her a second before turning back to the road. "You have a bad habit of sticking your nose into my business."

"Yep. Because if I didn't you would keep finding reasons to put it off and I'd end up having to pay for another joint session with Dr. Westfallen to try to cure your ass." She reaches into her purse and pulls out an envelope. "Your ticket to Hawaii and the information on the resort you all will call home for a week. It's all inclusive but if you want to do day trips or anything off the resort it's out of your pocket, buddy." She lifts a hand to stop his protest. "Consider it my way to make sure you don't burn out completely and leave me alone to deal with Reid. Even I need a break from EmiReid sometimes."

Morgan manages a chuckle. "You're messed up."

"You're my best friend, Derek. I want to help you clear your head. And I think you and your family need a break from the everyday. This will give you all time to relax and, hopefully, give you some great memories."

Morgan won't look at Emily, but she sees the tears in his eyes. "Thank you, Emily," he whispers.

She pats his leg. "Anytime, Derek."

When they get back to Chateau Prentiss they find JJ laying on the couch with Rocky reading a story. Rocky hops up and runs to Morgan.

"Hi, Gan!" she says happily.

He smiles and lifts her up. "Hey, Rocky. You are getting so big. Pretty soon you're going to be lifting me up and flying me around like an airplane."

She giggles as he starts to fly her around the room, dive bombing JJ and Emily. All are having a good time. JJ lifts her arms to Emily.

"Fly me after her, Mama!"

"YEAH! Fly, Mommy! Fly!" Rocky encourages.

Emily laughs and shakes her head. "Uh, can't, Rock, because of my ankle."

"Oh, and otherwise you would?" JJ asks.

"Sure," Emily agrees. "Until I figure out what injury prevents it next time you ask."

The adults laugh as Morgan finally brings Rocky in for a landing…and she immediately asks to fly again. Testament to the good man he is, he complies and helps her chase her mommies once more. When she asks for a third flight he shakes his head.

"You've got me worn out, Little One. We'll get them next time, okay?"

"Okay, Gan." She throws her arms around his neck. "Love Gan."

"I love you, too, Rocky."

He stands when the hug ends and looks at Emily and JJ. "I need to head on. Turns out I need to get some laundry done."

JJ smiles at him and nods. "I believe so. Have a great time, Derek."

"I will. Thank you both so much. Can't wait to talk to Mom tonight. She has to be excited to get away from Chicago winters for a week."

"Definitely," Emily agrees. She walks over and puts her hands on his shoulders. "So go home, get your stuff ready, and start counting down the hours until your flight takes off next Saturday morning."

He smiles. "Thanks, Em. I'll get you a lei."

"That's what I have Jen for," she says immediately.

Morgan and JJ both groan and blush.

"Incorrigible, Prentiss," JJ scolds.

"Absolutely wrong and evil, woman," Morgan agrees.

Emily just grins smugly. She sees Morgan to the door then goes back to the living room. JJ is getting ready to pick up the story where they had left off. Rocky is cuddled up against her side.

"Room for one more?" Emily asks.

Rocky pats the couch and nods. "Come read, Mama."

"I think I will."

She sits at the end of the couch and puts JJ's feet in her lap. She props her ankle on the table as she proceeds to massage the swollen ones of her wife. JJ smiles her thanks as she continues to read Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" to Rocky.
