AN: So as promised a sequel. Before my best friend kills me and tortures my anipsiá, again. So Dave and JJ will be having a talk and guess who's moving home? *nods* That's right JJ. But the talk first and maybe a surprise or three. Lol! So sit back, relax, and enjoy!
Disclaimer: My anipsiá is suffering because of me… I'm fixing that!

Dave sat in the recliner sipping his scotch. His perpetual state of mind was drunk. He didn't want to think and he didn't want to imagine the possibilities. It had been six months since JJ had left for unknown reasons and he was still waiting on her to come home. Their daughter, Karissa Gianna Rossi, had been born three weeks ago and every night JJ would bring her over so he could have time with her.
He was brought out of his train of thought by a knock at the door. It was right on time for JJ. He stood up and moved to the door, smiling at JJ's bright face. She hadn't looked so happy since she had left. She held out the baby carrier and he took it, ushering her inside.
"Hey Jen. Hello my beautiful baby Ris" Dave said. JJ smiled as he took her out of the carrier and held her against his chest, murmuring to her gently about how much he loved her.
"We need to talk" JJ said as she sat on the couch, Dave reclaiming his spot on the recliner, his baby tucked under his chin. "I actually need to tell you something."
"What's up Jen?" Dave asked around the lump in his throat. His mind jumped to the worst case scenario: JJ had found another man. He subconsciously held Karissa closer as he imagined another man raising his baby. He wouldn't allow that to happen.
"I want to come home" she said. Dave froze. What? "After you were in surgery I got scared, petrified. I wanted to know that if worse came to worse that I could take care of our baby if Gods forbid something else happened to you. After a month I was ready to come home, but I realized I needed to wait longer, that if something did happen I wouldn't have you to run to. I'm sorry" she said. Dave stared at her. What? "I guess I should get going. You can keep Rissa for the night." JJ stood to leave.
"You are an idiot." JJ froze. "I jumped in front of a bullet for you. Did you stop and think about what would happen to me if you died? I wasn't the one carrying her around for ten months. I'm not the one who kids like and I sure as h-e-l-l wouldn't know what to do if she started crying! I get you were scared, I do babe, but I was too. Someone tried to take you both from me. I wouldn't have lived had that happened. Even if something were to happen to me, which let's be honest Jen, I'm past my prime, you would always have the team. You will never be alone. Dammit I love you, you crazy idiot" Dave said before moving forward and capturing her lips with his. When they needed air, they pulled apart slightly. Dave rested his forehead against hers. "I want you both home. Move in with me?"
"You call me an idiot and then want me to move in with you?" JJ asked with a grin. Dave shrugged.
"I was easing into the becoming Mrs. Idiot" Dave said. JJ froze. What? "Marry me." JJ breathed out slowly, trying to calm her racing heart. She grinned and nodded.
"Yes, yes yes yes yes yes yes yes" JJ squealed as she wrapped her arms around him, careful of their daughter. Dave laughed. He felt whole now that JJ and Karissa were home with him.
"I love you, JJ. I'm glad you came home."
"I love you too, Dave. I will always come home."
