"NOOOOOOOOO!"

Emily sighs. "Henry, bath time. Go with Aunt Penny."

"NO!" he says and stomps his foot.

Emily runs a hand over her face. Things were not going well tonight. Henry had actually been acting up all day, culminating with this tantrum about bath time.

"What is your problem today, Champ?"

Garcia looks at Emily. "Uh, early onset Terrible Two's?"

Emily sighs. "Maybe." She holds her arms out to him. "Come here, Henry."

The little boy shakes his head and drops down on his butt. Emily pinches the bridge of her nose, trying to will her headache to go away.

"Want me to call Jayje?" Garcia asks.

Emily shrugs. "I don't know. Maybe. No. Let her call us. She needs to eat and if he acts like this it will just stress her out." She stares down at her son, who has his face buried in Alaska's scruff. "Henry, do you want a bath?"

He grunts. Emily takes that as a no.

"How about a story?"

Another grunt.

"A song?"

Grunt.

"Movie?"

Henry moans and rolls down to the ground, his face still pressed against his puppy. Emily just shakes her head. She will not offer him a cookie. No more rewarding for bad behavior. But there is only one thing that she thinks might help and she reluctantly offers it.

"Henry, do you want to talk to Mommy?"

Henry sits up and nods. Emily rolls her eyes and grabs her phone.

"Come here, Champ."

Henry jumps up and runs over to the bed. Emily hits JJ's number and crosses her fingers she has a moment to talk.

"Hey, Em, was just getting ready to call you."

"Good timing then. Henry's having a tantrum and wants to speak with you."

"Ah, okay."

Emily holds the phone out. "Here's Mommy, Champ."

"Hi Mommy!" Henry says happily.

Garcia and Emily exchange a look. Where was this kid a few minutes ago?"

"Hey, Little Man. Did you have fun with Mama and Fran today?"

"Si."

Emily grins at that answer as Garcia rolls her eyes.

"Good. I hear you are a little upset."

"Si. Mama bad."

Emily frowns and looks at Garcia in confusion.

"She is? Why is Mama bad?" JJ asks, amused as she pictures Emily's face in her mind.

"Pool bye bye."

Emily bites her lip to keep from laughing. Now it all made sense. Garcia is still puzzled.

"The pool went bye bye today?" JJ confirms.

"Si. Bye bye."

"Well, honey, it's the time of the year the pool has to go bye bye so it can rest and be ready for you next Spring."

"NO! Pool! Now!" Henry demands.

"I'm sorry, Henry, but the pool had to go bye bye. Maybe when I get home we can play in the Jacuzzi, okay?"

Henry gives a big, heartfelt sigh. "Kay. Love Mommy."

"I love you, too. Do you love Mama?"

Henry's shoulders slump and he mutters. "Love Mama."

Emily can't help but chuckle. "Gee, thanks, Champ."

"Can I speak to Mama again, Henry?"

"Si. Love Mommy. Night Mommy."

"Love you, too, Little Man. Goodnight, Henry."

Henry hands Emily the phone and goes over to lie all over his puppy again. Emily crosses her fingers.

"Henry, can you go with Aunt Penny now for your bath?"

Henry sighs again. "Si."

He gets up and stomps out of the room towards the bathroom. Garcia just smiles and follows him.

"Hey, Jen."

"Hi. Does it make me a bitch that it feels so good that I could fix him when you couldn't?" she asks, amused.

Emily chuckles. "Not a bitch. Cruel and petty, but not a bitch."

JJ laughs. "Ah, okay."

"So, how goes it? I hear there's a sixth victim now."

"Yeah. We think it's someone selling the babies; custom-ordered babies."

"Oh, God, that's awful!"

"Yeah. And we think #6 is because something was wrong with baby #5. Truthfully, we still have more questions than answers, including where the hell are the missing vehicles."

"Any leads?"

"Not one. Morgan and I are going up to a huge refuge tomorrow to look around and see if we can find where the cars are. Truth is, there is so much open land down here they could be anywhere. And, in all honesty, even if we find them they may not give us any new leads to follow. Until some of Garcia's searches finish we may be stalled."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

JJ smiles. "Yes. You can rest, keep your blood pressure down, put your feet up, and keep Rocky inside until we get back home."

Emily laughs. "I meant anything easy."

JJ laughs. "Don't make me have Garcia cuff you to the bed."

Emily shivers. "Damn it, Jen…do you know what that image did to my libido?"

JJ raises an eyebrow. "You're turned on by the thought of Garcia cuffing you to the bed?"

Emily rolls her eyes, giggling. "No. You cuffing me to the bed. Damn, Jen, going to have to take matters into my own hands later."

There is pause as JJ thinks about that image. "Shit…happy about getting revenge, baby?"

Emily smiles proudly. "Yes…yes, I am."

JJ glances at her watch. "Well, I need to meet the team for dinner. Want me to call back later?"

"You know I love talking to you. But if you need to get to bed early I understand. You and Morgan may be doing a lot of hiking tomorrow."

"True. Well, then I will go ahead and say goodnight now. I love you, sweetheart. Tell Pen thanks for me and give Rocky a pat."

"I will. I love you, baby. And if you need me, call."

"I will. Promise. Talk to you tomorrow, baby."

"Goodnight, Jen."

Emily hangs up and sighs. She rubs her stomach. "It's because of you I don't even miss being on a case. Thank you, Rocky, for reminding me what's important in life. I don't want to become my mother and make the job more important than you or your brother. I want to know you all your life, not just when you're grown up and starting your own family."

Soon Garcia comes in with a clean and pajama clad Henry. Aunt Penny pops in a DVD of Blues Clues…that Emily had seen at least 15 times that week…and enjoys it with her Godson. (She just ignores the glares from Emily.) By the end Henry is ready for bed. He snuggles up to Emily who starts to sing his lullaby.

Garcia sits in the recliner watching them, her heart about bursting with love for them. When Henry is finally asleep she walks over.

"Want me to carry him to bed?"

Emily smiles. "Nah, he's fine here for now."

"What times does Will get here tomorrow?"

"He figures around 11 if the weather cooperates."

"Coolness. What are your plans for the weekend?"

Emily sighs. "I really haven't thought about it. I guess just lay around here eating bon bons and hoping Rocky doesn't put in an appearance before Jen gets home."

"You're not going to be begging me for something to work on, are you?"

Emily shakes her head. "Nope. No stress allowed right now. Rocky is more important than my job."

"Awww! So sweet!"

Emily nods. She raises an eyebrow at her friend. "You know…I was tempted to pop you upside the head when Jen told me what the case was."

Garcia sighs and flops onto the end of the bed. "Ugh! I know! I swear, Emster, it was all I could do to make myself march into Hotch's office with that file. My head knew we had to help. My heart was telling me to protect JJ."

Emily nods. "I believe you. And knowing another woman went missing today you did the right thing. Never doubt that. I'm sure Hotch gave her a chance to stay behind."

"Yeah, he did. But we all knew she wouldn't." Garcia smiles proudly. "She's JJ!"

Emily chuckles. "Yes, yes she is."

Will smiles at Emily. "Emily, you look ready to burst."

Emily nods. "I feel like it, too."

He gives her a hug and kiss. "You also look beautiful. One more week?"

"Yep. I can't wait. I've forgotten what my feet look like."

Will laughs and looks down. "They are still petite and pretty."

Emily raises an eyebrow. "They were never petite. Pretty maybe but not petite."

"DADDY!"

Emily turns as Henry comes running out of the playroom. Will drops to a knee. "Hey, Little Man! How you doing today?"

Henry hugs and kisses his father. "Love Daddy!"

"I love you, too. Ready to go to the fair?" Henry smiles and nods. Will stands, holding his son. "We're going down to Richmond to the State Fair. But if you need us call, okay?"

Emily nods. "I will. Promise." She looks at Henry. "Do I get a hug and kiss goodbye?"

Henry throws himself at Emily. He gives her a big hug and kiss. "Love Mama."

"Love you, too, Champ. Eat a candy apple for me."

Henry nods, not sure what it is but he does know candy. Will gives Emily a hug and picks up Henry's bag. Emily watches from the doorway until they are gone. She closes the door and leans against it.

Yep…some days the house was just too big.
