Hey guys. Thanks again for the amazing response to this story. Thank you so much for all the wonderful reviews, I really love hearing what you all think. Please keep them coming. This chapter is only a short one, but I've nearly finished the next one, so I should be able to update again tomorrow.


Emily woke up a little later than usual the next morning. She had to think carefully for a moment, not one hundred percent sure that last night had really happened; maybe she just dreamed the whole thing up. Had JJ, Henry and Logan really arrived at her doorstep in the middle of the night?

The brunette profiler dragged herself out of bed and changed into some jeans and a red tee, before making her way out of her bedroom. As she approached the front room she could hear JJ's voice, confirming that last night had in fact happened.

Emily paused in the doorway, hearing JJ explaining some rules to the boys.

"…And we never go into Emily's room without her permission. We do not chase each other around the house. We do not chase Sergio around the house." JJ raised her eyebrows in Logan's direction at that last rule. "We do not go into the kitchen without an adult." Logan, obviously getting bored with what Emily was sure had been a long list rules, lay back on the floor and began to roll away from his mother. "Logan, come back here. That's another rule; no rolling around the floor." She grabbed hold of him, just in front of Emily's glasses cabinet. "And we do not go anywhere near anything that can smash or break easily."

"Like this?" Henry inquired, picking up a cat ornament from the centre of the coffee table.

"Yes, like that." JJ almost shouted, letting go of Logan and grabbing at the small object in Henry's hands, placing it back down carefully on the coffee table. "In fact, we do not touch anything that doesn't belong to us."

"Can we touch the floor?" Henry asked, staring up at his mom with a cheeky grin.

"Yes you can touch the floor." She sighed loudly.

"What about the couch?" He giggled to himself. "And the air, can we touch the air?"

"Henry!" JJ held her hands to her face, before running them back through her hair. "Don't be silly. You know exactly what I mean; don't touch any of Emily's personal things."

Henry laughed running away from his mother, around to the other side of the coffee table.

"No running in this house, Henry." The blonde shot around after her son.

"You're running Momma." He informed her, with a chuckle.

Emily couldn't help but grin into the room at the family. As much as she felt sorry for her friend, her kids were just too cute. And let's face it, they weren't naughty kids, they were just boys being boys. She also couldn't help but inwardly laugh at the way JJ was panicking over Henry and Logan ruining her home. It wouldn't be the end of the world if they broke a few things or made a mess. There was nothing in the house that meant more to Emily than those little boys.

JJ caught up to Henry and held onto him, meanwhile Logan had managed to pull himself up onto the couch nearest the door and had spotted Emily watching them. He stood up on the arm of the chair and held out his arms. "Emmy!"

"Hey." Emily greeted him, launching forward into the room to grab the young boy as he lost his balance. She caught him before he fell and pulled him up into her arms.

"Logan, do not stand on the furniture." JJ pleaded, glancing over at Emily and her youngest son. "I'm so sorry Em. We didn't wake you did we?"

"No of course not and you have nothing to apologize for." She assured her. "In fact I should be thanking you, for allowing me to spend time with my two favorite boys in the whole world." She said, shifting her focus between Henry and Logan as she spoke.

"Mommy's been running in the house." Henry announced, grinning up at Emily.

"Has she now?" Emily asked with a smile, before smirking up at JJ. "Well your Mom is very silly then isn't she?"

"Yeah." Henry chuckled, turning to give his mom a hug, which she accepted, holding her little boy tight. "You can let go now, Mom." Henry told her after a short while.

Emily took the boys into the room they had slept in last night and got some of the clothes out that she had kept for them, while JJ went to retrieve her Go-Bag from the car.

Once everybody was washed and dressed, Emily went into the kitchen and poured four bowls of cereal, for herself and her guests.

It's a good job Emily had two sets of clothes at hers for the boys, as the majority of Logan's milk and cereal ended up on his clothes, some ended up on the floor and two pieces of cereal ended up stuck to his forehead. How this happened, no one was quite sure.

So after breakfast, JJ helped Logan change, before they four of them set off for their day at the mall.
