Saturday after the return from Los Angeles

"MA! MAMA! MA! MAMA!"

Emily smiles and stretches an arm out to grab the baby monitor. She turns the volume down as her wife groans. The brunette starts to caress the arm thrown across her chest as she breathes in the scent of JJ's shampoo thanks to the blonde locks pressing against her cheek. She shifts her head enough to kiss JJ's forehead.

"I have to get up, honey. Rocky is calling," Emily whispers.

"MOMMY! MAMA!"

Emily chuckles. "And so is Henry, Jen. Time to get up."

JJ groans petulantly and rolls away. "Five more minutes," she mumbles.

Emily just grins and shakes her head. She grabs the other monitor and gets out of bed. She slips both into the pockets of her Batman sleep pants and goes down the hall towards the kid's rooms. She pokes her head into Rocky's and sees the girl standing in her crib.

"Poopy, Mama," the little one says happily.

Emily nods. "I figured. I'll be right in, Sweet Girl."

Rocky just nods and sits down. Emily winces when she hears the "splat" sound. Yep, that was going to be fun to clean up. She walks down to Henry's room and sees him sitting on the edge of his bed, Alaska sitting beside him. Both stare expectantly at the door.

"Morning, Champ. How about you go potty while I change Rocky's diaper?"

Henry hops up. "Kay, Mama. C'mon, Ska."

Emily ruffles his hair as he walks by, Alaska at his heels. Emily then goes back to Rocky's room.

"You ready, big girl?"

Rocky stands and holds out her hands to her mother. As Emily nears she winces.

"Whew! What in the world did we feed you?"

Rocky just cackles. Emily lifts her up and gives her a kiss, getting one in return. As she lays the little princess down on the changing table, Rocky entertains them with a song only she knows. Emily's nose wrinkles as she changes the diaper. It was even worse than she thought. By the time she is done, Henry is calling to her that he, too, is done. She snaps Rocky back into her pajamas.

"How about you go see Mommy while I check on Ree?"

Rocky just nod excitedly. Emily carries her out of the room and calls down the hall. "Be with you in a second, Henry."

"Kay, Mama."

Emily walks into the bedroom and sets Rocky on the bed. The little girls happily crawls over to her mother, who is now cuddling with Emily's pillow. Rocky reaches out and lifts one of JJ's eyelids. Emily chuckles, remembering Henry doing the same to her several times.

"S'eep, Ma?" Rocky asks in a loud "whisper".

JJ can't help but smile as she opens both eyes. "Not anymore, Rock Star."

Rocky pounces. "MA!"

JJ laughs and pulls her close. "Good morning, sweet girl." Rocky gives her a big kiss. "Ooo! A Rocky Kiss! All I need now is a Henry Hug and my morning will be perfect."

Emily grins. "You two hang right here and I can deliver on that in a second." She walks down the hall to the bathroom. "All done, Champ?

"Si, Mama. Peed and pooped."

Emily chuckles. "Uh, thanks for the report." She helps him into fresh pull up and lifts him up so he can wash his hands. When he's done she sets him on the ground. "Mommy needs a Henry Hug."

"Gots it!"

He races off down the hall, Alaska right behind him. By the time Emily gets to the bedroom her wife is getting Henry Hugs and doggie kisses. The blonde looks thrilled about one and dubious about the other. Emily is just fully amused. Once everyone is calmed down and snuggled up to JJ, Emily sits on the edge of the bed.

"So, how do pancakes and bacon sound for breakfast?"

"In bed?" Henry asks eagerly.

Emily laughs. "Uh, no, at the table."

"I don't know, Mama. I think in bed sounds good," JJ says with a wink.

"Yeah, Mama. In bed!" Henry insists.

Rocky just claps and giggles, which Emily just assumes is her agreement with her brother and mommy. Emily just chuckles and tosses the remote to JJ.

"Fine. In bed. I'll be back up in a little while. Something tells me we'll be washing the sheets today."

JJ just grins and nods. "Yep. Thanks, baby."

"You're welcome, Jen. Love you three."

"Love you, too, Em."

"Love you, Mama!" Henry agrees.

"Mama love!" Rocky adds.

After breakfast (and stripping off their now syrup covered sheets) Emily and JJ sit down in the play room to think about Halloween. While Henry plays with his learning tablet and Rocky with one of her activity centers, the women discuss the holiday.

"Is Will going to be able to get up here?" Emily asks.

JJ shakes her head. "Unfortunately with Marty Florence out because of heart attack and Todd Baylor having been called up with his Reserve unit they are too short-handed. He is working Halloween to guarantee Christmas. Thanksgiving will still be a question mark."

"Rats. I know he had fun with Henry last year. This year would have been even better since Champ really gets what it's all about. Should we go out today to look at costumes?"

JJ blushes and looks away. "Uh, no need," she says quietly.

Emily raises an eyebrow. "Oh? Why not?"

"Uh, well, see, Pen saw something really cute online. I thought it sounded good so she sent me the link and I kind of ordered them."

"Jennifer Prentiss, what have you done?" Emily demands.

"Look, just know they are based on one of your favorite movies of all time and they should look absolutely adorable on us."

"Us? As in…all of us?" JJ nods. "Jennifer, if you tell me I'm dressing like Chewbacca I will never speak to you again."

JJ bursts out laughing. "Not 'Star Wars', I swear."

"Jennnnn…"

"They'll be here today. If you don't like them I can return them. Just…keep an open mind."

"You had them sent to Garcia, didn't you?"

"Actually to the office. She's bringing them by since they arrived yesterday."

Emily sighs and shakes her head. "You're lucky I love and trust you, Agent Jareau."

"Yes, yes I am, Agent Prentiss."

Henry walks over and hands his tablet to Emily. "Mama, it's broked."

Emily takes the machine and looks it over. "Uh, looks okay to me, Champ."

"Nope. Broked."

"Why do you think it's broken, Henry?" JJ asks.

"Is no right."

"Not right? What do you mean?"

He takes the tablet from Emily and walks over to JJ. He hands it to her. "No right."

JJ looks at the image on the screen. "I don't understand, Henry. What's not right here? Show me."

Henry sighs, upset his mommies can't see what's wrong. He points to the picture of the car on the screen. "Lightning no that."

Pride flares in JJ as she realizes Henry recognizes number on the side of the car is not correct. Granted, he may not completely understand what the numbers really mean but he does know the numbers are not right.

"You're right, Henry. The number isn't right. Push this button here," she points to a command on the side. Henry pushes it and several choices pop up. "Do you see the right number?"

Henry studies it a moment then pushes choice C, which is 95. "That Lightning." The game plays a clip of Lightning saying "Great race! Number 9-5 wins!" It actually says the two numbers separately to help the child learn. JJ is impressed with this new game. The last "Cars" themed game helped him learn his colours.

JJ smiles. "Very good! See, this game is to help you learn numbers. You look at the picture then push this button." She points to it again. "Then choose the right number. Here, let's try the next one."

Another Cars character pops up. Henry studies it a moment then hits the command button. He studies the answers and chooses the right one. JJ hugs him close as the game once again has the character tell Henry "Great race!" and repeats the number. JJ looks up at Emily and sees the pride in her eyes.

"So, want me to keep helping or do you want to do it on your own?" JJ asks him.

He settles further into her lap and smiles. "Help, Mommy."

JJ kisses the top of his head. "Okay, I'll help. Let's try the next one."

Emily watches the two gorgeous blondes playing and learning together. She glances over at their daughter and sees her singing along with the song on her activity center. Okay, so maybe all the words aren't there but the tune is correct. Emily is 99.9% sure no one in the world could be happier and more content than she is at that moment.

And then the front door opens.

"PRENTISS FAMILY! YOUR FAIRY GODMOTHER HAS ARRIVED BEARING HALLOWEEN COSTUMES!" Garcia calls from the front entry.

Henry and Rocky run towards the voice, just happy to see Aunt Penny. Emily groans…and wonders just what her wife has gotten her into.

Emily stares at herself in the mirror. Okay, it fit. So much for using that as an excuse to get out of wearing it on Tuesday night. She sighs.

"Maybe we'll have a case," she mumbles.

"Oooo! Henry so cute!" Garcia squeals.

Emily groans. No way will Garcia allow a case to spoil her fun.

"Mama! Come see!" Henry commands.

Emily looks in the mirror once more. She straightens the floppy hat on her head and walks out of her closet. Despite feeling kind of silly she can't help but smile at how excited Henry and Rocky are in their costumes. And they do look adorable.

"Well, how do I look?" she holds her arms out.

Garcia claps happily, joined by Rocky and Henry as Emily does a wobbly walk towards them. She really does look like the Scarecrow. She kneels down and smiles at Henry's Tinman outfit.

"You look great, Champ! Can you do his toot?"

Henry pumps his arm. "Toot toot!"

She laughs. "Perfect!" She looks at Rocky in her blue gingham dress, wig with pigtails, little basket, and shiny red shoes. "And you, Sweet Girl, look just like Dorothy." Emily looks at Garcia. "So, where is our Cowardly Lion?"

"Right here," JJ says from behind.

"Cool, Mommy!" Henry says.

Emily stands, Rocky in her arms. JJ has gone so far as to use eyeliner to draw on a nose and whiskers. Rocky cackles.

"I think she's saying you look great, Jen," Emily says to her wife.

JJ grins. "I hope so. You look good, Em."

"Thanks. I'll need to do a few things with make-up to make it perfect but I think it will work."

"You all look marvelous!" Garcia gushes. "Let me go put on my costume."

Emily chuckles. "The Wicked Witch or a Flying Monkey?"

Garcia narrows her eyes. "Be nice, Emster. You know what I can do."

Emily just laughs. She looks at Rocky. "Do you think Aunt Penny would make a cute Flying Monkey?"

The little girl claps her hands. Henry runs to his aunt.

"The monkey's cool, Aunt Penny!"

Garcia chuckles. "Okay, they are kinda cool. But I'm going to be Glinda the Good Witch."

Emily smiles and kisses Rocky on the cheek. "Yeah, that's the better choice. Well, go try it on. Goodness knows it won't be Halloween without Aunt Penny."

A few minutes later Garcia glides into the room. The kids clap and cheer, especially when she pretends to start casting spells. The family acts out a few scenes together and sings a few songs. Yeah, it was cheesy. Yeah, it was pretty geeky.

But yeah, the FBI employees need these crazy fun moments as balms for the mental injuries they get from the horror of the job.
