Well Readers I'm back!

Wanted to get started on the next story in this series as I just can't give it up. I'm so excited to know that both JJ and Garcia are still going to be with the show this season so I hope that until it starts up again my little story here can hold you over for a while!

Thanks so much for reading! -J

Chapter 1

JJ was having a sweet dream. She was dreaming about a pregnant Emily, sitting in a park with Henry and Alex; the family happily enjoying a picnic together on a beautiful spring day. It was a happy dream; the happiest kind of dream that was interrupted as she was woken by the sound of Emily bolting from their bed.

"Em?" JJ called groggily, rubbing her eyes and looking towards the master bathroom where she could suddenly hear the brunette getting sick. "Oh Em," she sighed, quickly getting out of bed and heading into the bathroom where she immediately knelt down behind her wife, bulling back her dark locks for her. "It's okay Honey. Just let it out. You're okay," she cooed, rubbing the other woman's back comfortingly. "Just let it out."

"Ugh," Emily groaned when she was finally able to sit back, leaning against the blonde's legs.

"You okay?" JJ asked, running her fingers through Emily's hair. "Do you want me to get you some water?"

"Not yet," Emily shook her head slowly as if she was afraid to move too much. "I don't know what happened. I was asleep and then all of a sudden I was going to be sick. God I feel awful."

"Welcome to pregnancy," JJ chuckled, kissing the back of the brunette's head. "I think you're a little out of practice baby."

"You think?" Emily turned her head to look at the blonde, her eyebrow raised. "Alex was a very long time ago and I don't think I ever…oh God," she groaned, quickly turning back towards the toilet before once again getting sick.

"Oh Em. I'm sorry baby," JJ felt bad for her wife, hating seeing her so sick. "It'll be over soon baby," she said, continuing to stroke Emily's back, feeling like it was the only thing she could really do.

"Hey Mom, Mum do you think you guys could…oh…" Alex came into the bathroom freezing as she took in the sight of her Mothers on the bathroom floor. "Are you okay?"

"It's just morning sickness Sweetheart," JJ was the one to answer, keeping a hold on Emily's hair as she turned towards the teen. "Apparently the twins are hitting full force this morning," she said, wrinkling her nose at the sound of Emily gagging into the toilet. "Did you need something Lex?"

"Well I was going to ask if you guys would let me drive to school so I could have a little more practice," Alex replied. "But I think I should take the bus," she said, moving towards the sink and filling up the glass that was left there with water.

"I'm sorry Baby," Emily apologized sadly as she once again leaned back against JJ's knees.

"It's okay Mom," Alex smiled, kneeling down next to the older brunette and placing a kiss on her forehead before handing her the glass of water in her hand. "We can go driving when you're feeling better. Are you going to stay home today?"

"No. Can't," Emily shook her head. "Too much to do," she said as Alex glanced at JJ with a concerned look on her face.

"Morning sickness usually comes and goes pretty quickly. She should be okay," JJ assured the teen. "You think you can get up yet Em? I bet some toast will make you feel better."

"Yeah, okay," Emily nodded, allowing JJ to help her stand up just as Henry started to cry from his room. "You get him. I need to brush my teeth," she said, smiling as JJ gave her hand a squeeze before heading towards the nursery, leaving her with the teen who was still watching her with a worried look on her face. "I'm fine Lex. I feel better already."

"Did you get sick like that when you were pregnant with me?" Alex asked, leaning against the vanity as she watched her Mother brushing her teeth.

"Not that bad," Emily shook her head, her mouth full of toothpaste. "I was nauseous a lot and I'm sure I was sick a bit at the beginning but it was never too bad," she explained once she had rinsed her mouth. "Maybe it's different with twins."

"Maybe," Alex laughed. "Let's hope they're less trouble after they're born."

"Yes," Emily agreed with a laugh. "Let's hope."

"Hey, you're late," Morgan called out as soon as Emily and JJ entered the bullpen a full 30 minutes later than they should have. "What is this? You two just come in whenever you please now?"

"Only when someone can't stop throwing up but refuses to take a sick day," JJ rolled her eyes, remaining by Emily's side until she was seated at her desk. "We would have actually gotten here on time except we spent 15 minutes sitting in the driveway arguing about it after Emily here vomited in the front bushes."

"Nice," Morgan chuckled, laughing at the scowl on the brunette's face.

"Jen I told you I'm not taking a sick day," Emily practically growled, sick of having this conversation. "It's just morning sickness and I feel better now. I'll be fine."

"You know 80 to 90 percent of women experience morning sickness during pregnancy but it it's actually improperly named since the nausea can really be experienced at any point in the day," Reid stated rather matter of factly. "It usually starts around the 4th week of pregnancy and can last up until week 13, if not longer."

"Great," Emily huffed, placing her head on the desk. "Something to look forward to."

"Everything okay Prentiss?" Hotch's voice startled Emily into sitting up, the brunette immediately plastering a fake looking smile on her face.

"Everything's fine," Emily was quick to reply. "Sorry we were a little late."

"That's fine," Hotch raised an eyebrow suspiciously. "But are you feeling okay? You look a little pale."

"Morning sickness," JJ interrupted, ignoring the glare she could feel her wife shooting her. "We had a bit of trouble getting ready today."

"Oh well Emily if you need to…"

"Don't even bother Hotch," JJ shook her head. "I've tried. Trust me I've tried. She's staying."

"Well then I hope everyone has their go-bags," Hotch shrugged. "I got a call. We're needed in New York. Conference room in ten."

Nodding, Morgan and Reid immediately began to gather up their things while Hotch headed back to his office, everyone hoping to grab a cup of coffee before their morning meeting.

"Em," JJ turned towards her wife, looking like she was struggling.

"Jen please," Emily was practically begging, standing up so she could tuck the blonde's hair behind her ear. "I know you're worried okay? I know. But I'm okay. I'll be fine," she gave the blonde a small smile. "And I promise I will sit out when I need to. Okay?"

"Okay," JJ agreed with a sigh. "But I'm going to hold you to that and I swear to God if you argue with me I will get Dr. Alexander to ban you from flying so you have to stay here with Garcia from here on. Got it?"

"Got it," Emily laughed, grabbing her go-bag off the floor. "You wanna text Lex or Jessie?"

"I'll take Jessie you take Lex," JJ replied, already pulling out her phone. "Tell her I love her though and we'll call tonight."

"Who's that?" Spencer came up behind Alex who was reading her cell phone at her locker, startling the shorter brunette who didn't hear her girlfriend approaching. "Sorry," Spencer chuckled, kissing Alex's shoulder. "Your Moms?" She guessed.

"They've got a case," Alex nodded, sending off a quick text before stuffing her phone back into her bag and turning towards her girlfriend. "They're heading to New York. Poor Mom. She had such a rough morning; traveling is probably the last thing she wants to do right now."

"I think you mean poor Mum then," Spencer laughed. "Knowing your Mom she's probably insisting that she's going to be fine. JJ's probably going to go crazy trying to keep Emily out of the field while they're away."

"That's true," Alex agreed laughing as she took Spencer's hand, knowing they needed to head to their next class. "So what's the plan after school today? Are you coming over? I bet we can get some time alone," she smirked.

"I'd love to come over," Spencer smiled. "But I doubt we'll get any time alone. I talked to Liv this morning. She said she was thinking of asking you if she could stay over for a few nights," she explained, as Alex nodded understandingly. "Sounds like things have been…well you know how things have been," she shrugged. "I think your house is like a safe space for her…she always feels better with your Moms."

"I'll text them and let them know," Alex replied, knowing neither of her Mothers would refuse Olivia. "We can all do our homework together after school and make dinner or something," she said as they reached Spencer's classroom. "I'll see you later?" She said as they stopped outside the door, hands still clasped together.

"I'll see you at lunch," Spencer nodded, smiling as she leaned in for a quick kiss. "Love you."

"Love you too," Alex grinned, waiting until Spencer headed into the classroom before turning around, finding a boy leaning against the wall behind her, obviously staring. Not recognizing the boy, Alex simply raised an eyebrow before making her way down the hallway towards her own classroom with a shrug.

"You must be from the BAU," the Police Chief at the New York precinct greeted JJ, Emily and Reid as soon as they arrived. "I expected there to be more of you."

"The rest of our team is taking a look at our crime scenes," JJ explained. "You must be Chief Henry. I'm Jennifer Jareau, Media Liaison," she shook his hand. "This is Agent Prentiss and Dr. Reid. We'll get started on victimology and the geographic profile here. Do you have a room we can use?"

"Please call me Gary. The room is all set up just the way Agent Hotchner asked for it," Gary replied, gesturing towards a conference room not too far away. "All the files are in there. If you need anything else…"

"We'll know where to find you," JJ nodded, smiling as she followed Emily and Reid towards the conference room, ready to get to work. "Reid you're going to work on the geographic profile, do you need a hand? Or should I help Emily with victimology?"

"Why don't you go through the files with Emily," Reid suggested, already looking over his map. "I'll let you two know if I need any help."

"Well then you ready to get started Agent Prentiss?" JJ turned towards Emily, who was reading a text. "Lex?" She guessed.

"She thinks Olivia wants to spend a few days," Emily sighed. "Do you think maybe I should go talk to her Mom when we get back?"

"I think we may need to but I'd really hate to see Olivia punished because of it," JJ nodded, sitting down next to her wife. "Maybe we should talk to Liv about it first?"

"Yeah probably," Emily nodded. "As soon as we get home then," she said before grabbing the top file off the pile of folders sitting in front of them. "Now how about we get started so we can solve this thing and get back to our kids?"

"Sounds like an excellent idea to me Agent Prentiss," JJ winked, grabbing a file of her own. "Let's do this."

"Hey Mom," Alex answered her phone after the first ring later that night, sitting up in her room with Olivia, the pair both reading books for their English classes. "How's the Big Apple?"

"Oh you know, just full of creeps killing each other," Emily sighed as she could be heard flopping down on her hotel bed. "Mum's just getting some snacks from the vending machine. She'll be right back. How are things there?"

"Pretty good, "Alex replied smiling at Olivia from across the room. "Spencer, Olivia and I made dinner tonight and Olivia and I read Henry his bedtime story. We're just doing some reading assignments now."

"Aw that's great Sweetheart, thank you for helping Jessie out," Emily smiled; glad her teenager was such a good kid most of the time. "How's everyone doing?"

"We're all good, though I think Henry misses you," Alex replied. "Olivia says thanks for letting her stay," she added, knowing her Mother would understand that she couldn't really talk about it yet. "Do you think you guys will be gone long?"

"Well we didn't get very far today," Emily told her, her mind still thinking of the 3 young woman who had been raped and killed in the city in the last two weeks. "We're hoping to make some progress tomorrow though," she said just as JJ reentered the room.

"Is that Lex?" JJ immediately asked. "Hi Baby."

"Hey Mum," Alex laughed, finding it entertaining that her Mothers were always so excited to talk to her when they had only been gone for less than a day. "Did you get Mom all her snacks?"

"Got enough to hold her over for the night I hope," JJ laughed, throwing the snacks towards Emily. "Her cravings are definitely starting to hit."

"I take it you're feeling better then?" Alex asked.

"For now," Emily replied. "Got sick at lunch but I started feeling better a couple hours ago. I'm starving now," she said, already ripping open a bag of chips. "Hopefully these little monsters will let me rest for the rest of the night though."

"And hopefully give you a nicer wakeup call tomorrow," JJ added.

"Yes that would be nice," Emily agreed. "I mean if I have to be stuck at the precinct all day it would be nice to at least not feel like crap too."

"How's that going anyways?" Alex laughed, knowing her Mother probably hated being cooped up. "You enjoying working from the station or are you missing the field already?"

"I'm…I'm going to have to get used to it," Emily replied honestly. "It may not be exactly what I want but it's what's best for the babies and that's all I want."
