I was awoken by Henry shaking my shoulder and sending pain through my body "Mommy its morning, you have to text Aunty Emmy now" he said and I tried to hold back a scream from the pain

"Honey, please stop shaking me. Mommies sore from the bad man." I said hoping it didn't scare him

"Oh sorry Mommy, wait here" he jumped off the bed and went into my bathroom then come out moments later with a glass of water and my pain medication packet "Here you go Mommy, take these then text Emmy" he said handing them to me. Sometimes I can't believe how thoughtful he is and that he knows what I need.

"Thanks sweetie, if you go get my phone from my bag downstairs I'll send her a message" he jumped up off the bed and ran down and got it, giving me enough time to take the meds before he was back.

Hey Em, Henry wants to know if you can jump on Skype when you get back. He was bit upset that he didn't get to see you but after I told him you saved me he seemed better. Let us know when you're available and I'll make sure we can get on Thanks again for everything – Jen xx

"There you go sweetie, she'll probably still be on the plane but when she can she'll reply. So what do you want to do now? Want to have a pyjama day?" I ask, mainly because my bed is too comfy to get out of at the moment.

"Tell me more of the story. I don't think I can wait until tonight" he said, scooting down in the bed some more

"Alright, how bout we get some breakfast first then come back up and i'll tell you some more" I suggested knowing i'm suppose to take the pills with food and he'll get hungry soon.

"I have a better idea, don't move" he jumped up again and took off out of the room coming back 5 minutes later trying to juggle 2 bowls, 2 spoons a box of cereal, 2 juice boxes and milk "Lets have breakfast in bed, you should rest coz of your owies and breakfast in bed is way better than breakfast at the table" he said dumping it all on the bed

"And where did you learn that?" I laughed, pouring us some cereal

"Aunty Emmy told me that time she stayed over and we made breakfast for you" he said and got stuck into his cereal

"Oh right. I didn't think you'd remember that, you were only little then" I said thinking back to that day, it being the first of many nights she stayed over

"I remember everything Aunty Emmy told me, now story time Mommy"

"Ok, so the next few months I just got to watch the beautiful woman get use to working with us and getting comfortable in our little family. The first time I heard her speak another language it just intrigued me more and I loved hearing another language come out of her mouth. She was a woman of many talents. Her, me and your Aunt Pen would go out on the weekends we were home and have lots of fun, this one man tried to tell us he was an FBI agent and got shot down after we showed him our badges" I laughed at the memory of Brad the FBI guy

"When did you fall in love with her Mommy?" Henry asked taking a sip from his juice box

"Do you remember when I told you a story about the dogs that I had to fight?" he nodded "Well when everyone found me I was in shock and the only person who could get through to me was the beautiful woman and for the rest of the trip she was the only one who didn't make me feel like it was my fault your Uncle Spence had been taken. It was on the plane ride home that I realised if it wasn't for her I would be more of a mess than I was"

**Flashback**

I was sitting on the plane looking over at Reid who was curled up on the couch when Emily came over passing me a cup of coffee, I said thanks and she sat down across from me, not saying anything but I knew she was there in case I wanted to talk. I spent the rest of the flight staring out the plane window, occasionally looking over to her and having a fight with myself. Being in her company made me feel safe and calm. Why is it only her that I feel like this with? Um because you like her No its more than just that, shes nice and friendly and strong and loving and she knows me so well. Well maybe its because you more than like her? What like Love her? Yes you idiot, you're in love with her. So man up and do something about it I cant, I can't ruin our friendship, it means too much to me not to mention she's straight and doesn't feel the same way. Excuses Excuses, you're just scared

"Um Jayje?" her voice snapping me out of the debate going on in my head

"Hmm?"

"You're staring at me. Is everything ok?" Damn busted,

"Yea, sorry. Just thinking. I want to say thanks again for this week. I don't think I would've pulled through it so well without you there" I said with a little smile hoping she knew I meant it

"Hey, it was no problem. Plus this weeks not over so you've got yourself an over night nurse."She smiled and leaned over and squeezed my hand, my heart started racing and electricity flying up my arm.

"You don't have to do that. I will probably just go straight to bed" I said even though I wanted her to stay

"Don't argue Agent Jareau, theres no getting out of this. Plus with the pain meds you shouldn;t be driving anyway, so either way i'm still taking you home" she smiled a smile that always stops my heart.

"Oh really Agent Prentiss? Well in that case its you're shout for food on the way home" I winked at her then went back to watching the sky.

When we got back to my place I got us a pair of sweats to change into and we sat down and ate some chinese.

"Hey Em, I want to say sorry about making it seem like you don't feel things. I had no right and everyone has to have their own way to deal our job" I said looking down at my Chinese

"Hey theres no need for that. You were in the middle of possibly the worse day of your life and I know you were just curious. Its seriously no problem" she said lifting my head and looked into my eyes to show that she meant it but I got drawn into her eyes and held it for longer than normal. I really wanted to kiss her, wanted to move forward and show her what she really meant to me but a small voice in my head told me now was not the time, so I looked away and played with my food a bit more

"I'm still sorry. So what do you want to do now?" I ask trying to change the topic

"Want to chuck a movie on or go to bed?" my heart fluttered and images started running through my mind thinking what we could be doing in said bed

"um, hmm, movie sounds good" I get up and chuck something on and for the next hour and half we laughed and relaxed and by the end of the movie I was half asleep on her shoulder

"C'mon Jennifer, time for bed" she whispered into my ear while trying to get me up. We walked to my room and after her giving me my meds she started to walk back out and turned off the light, suddenly feeling scared in the dark I called out to her

"Em? Stay?" I asked quietly not even sure if she heard me until I felt the bed drop and her lie down next to me

"Any time Jay, any time" she pulled me closer and I wrapped myself around her and thats how I woke up in the morning, her arms wrapped around my shoulders, mine around her waist and my head in her shoulder and I couldn't be happier.

**End flashback**

My story got cut short by a knocking on the front door and Henry getting up and running down the stairs to open the door

"Ask who it is first" I yell while getting out of bed and chucking my robe on

"It's Aunty Penny" he shouted up the stairs then started laughing at something Garcia had said. I quickly brushed my teeth and my hair then grabbed the breakfast dishes and walked down stairs

"Hey Gumdrop, how are you today?" she asked coming over to give me a hug

"I'm alright Pen, bit sore but this little munchkin here has been looking after me" I said ruffling Henrys hair

"Oh you're a good boy, what have you been doing this morning so far?" she asked him

"Mommies telling me a story"

"Oh really? What is this story about?" she asked and if it had been anyone else but her I probably would've stopped him but she knew all about it so it didn't bother me

"Its all about how she fell in love with a beautiful woman" he says proudly "but shes taking forever to get to the ending" he said sending me a look and getting the same one from Pen

"Thats because theres a lot left of the story, I'll tell you some more tonight. Why don't you go get ready and maybe we can go to the park later?" he ran off up the stairs to get ready while I turned the coffee maker on and turned back to Pen

"So thats quite a story your telling him" she said

"Yea I know, he was talking about Emily last night and when he asked for a story it just started coming out. He's going to hate the ending, maybe I can just finish it before it starts getting bad. Leave it at when we were happy." I poured us a couple of coffees and went and sat on the couch

"I guess you could, but how will you explain that she's not here?"

"Well he kind of already knows why she left but I don't think he's clicked that the beautiful woman in the story Is Emily yet. Man it was good seeing her yesterday, she flew all the way here to save me Pen, how could I have just let her leave? How did I not follow her to the airport to tell her that I still love her?" I started crying and Garcia just wrapped me up in a hug

"Its not to late to tell her, you can always ring, text or Skype her. And I know she still loves you, but I dont think she knows how to go about it, you're both very different people now not to mention she lives on the other side of the world. I think you both need to talk, not to mention she doesnt even know you and Will got divorced" she pointed out and I managed to get rid of my tears when I heard Henry running down the stairs.

"Has Aunty Emmy replied yet Mommy?"

"Not yet sweetie, she would've just got off the plane and probably either has to go straight to work or straight to bed. Give her time buddy, you know she'll want to talk to you." I turned to Garcia "Henry wants to Skype with her today because he didn't get to see her. I sent her a message this morning asking her to let me know when shes free" Pen just nodded and went on about what she had planned for the day, which included park time with myself and Henry. While she was talking I got thinking about Emily again, knowing I have to get her back.
