Emily stared in awe at little AJ, whom Emily was finally holding. JJ had succumbed to slumber, so Emily held their daughter. Emily spoke softly to AJ.

"Hi, AJ. I'm Emily, your Mama. Your Mommy is sleeping right now, so it's just you and me at the moment."

AJ's piercing blue eyes gazed up at Emily, almost as if she could understand everything Emily was saying.

"You are quite the surprise, you know. Your mommy and I didn't know you were coming. But that doesn't make you any less loved. Granted, the rest of the family doesn't know about you yet. I think you'll have them wrapped around your fingers in no time, though. How about I tell you about some of them. First, there's Grandpa Dave. He's a famous author who loves to cook. He is probably going to spoil you every chance he gets. Then there's Uncle Aaron. He might seem like a tough, emotionless guy, but he's a big softie on the inside. Uncle Spencer is the one who is going to help you with your homework and science projects. There's Uncle Derek, the one who is going to be the one scaring off ay boys you bring home when you're older. Actually, now that I think about it, all of them are going to scare the boys away. Don't worry, Mommy and I will try to keep them in line! Where did I leave off? Oh, right. Aunt Penelope. She is going to be spoiling you on a daily basis, and she will probably teach you all about computers. Just don't hack any government sites, okay?"

Emily paused and stared at AJ. She looked just like JJ, and it made Emily's heart swell.

"There's one more person you need to know about right now. Your older brother, Henry. He's four years old, and I know he is going to adore you. His heart is so big, AJ. Just like his mommy's. Just like yours, I hope. As for me, I know I am going to screw up from time to time, but I promise to do my best to protect you and love you with everything I have. You, your mommy and Henry are my world. I have a little secret to tell you. I am going to ask your mommy to marry me. What do you think?"

AJ gurgled, and Emily swore that she saw a tiny smile.

"I'll take that as permission." Emily noticed that AJ's eyelids were drooping.

"Sleep well, my baby girl. I love you."

Emily sat, content, as she watched JJ and AJ sleep.


JJ walked towards her car. It had been a very long day. The killing never seemed to end. She heard a noise behind her. Turning, she didn't see anything. As she turned back towards her car, she jumped when she saw Anderson standing in front of her.

"Geez, Anderson. That is a way to get shot."

"Sorry, Agent Jareau. I wasn't thinking." the way Anderson leered at JJ made her very uneasy.

"Well, did you need something? I really want to get going." she said as she subtly inched away from him.

"Actually, yes. I needed to do this." Anderson forced his lips to JJ's. She jerked away from him.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Taking what's mine." Anderson said as he pushed JJ to the ground and climbed on top of her.

JJ tried to scream, but Anderson swiftly tied a gag in her mouth. JJ Tried desperately to fight him off, but he was too strong for her. He ripped her shirt open and forcibly touched her chest. Soon, he tired of that and forced his hand up her skirt...


"NOOOO! Anderson, stop! Get off of me! No! Please, no! Stop! Please stop!"

JJ's screaming startled Emily and AJ. Emily struggled to soothe AJ, who had started to whimper, and calm JJ down.

"Jen, wake up sweetie." She touched JJ's arm.

JJ jerked awake and scrambled away from Emily, sobbing as she did.

"Jay, breathe. It's okay. You're safe." Emily whispered soothingly, rubbing small circles on JJ's back. Slowly, JJ's sobs died down to whimpers. JJ took a deep breath and said

"Em, I need to tell you something."

"Jen, you don't have to if you don't want to."

"Yes, I do. You deserve to know. Anderson... Anderson is AJ's father." JJ shuddered as she mentioned Anderson's name.

"Okay." Emily said. Then, she thought about JJ's screaming a few moments prior, and her heart sank. "Jen... did he... did he rape you?"

"Yes." JJ started sobbing again, and Emily felt like a block of ice had settled in the pit of her stomach.

"Oh, God." Emily said, tearing up at the fact that her girlfriend had been dealing with this pain alone.

"I'm sorry, Em." JJ said brokenly.

"You have nothing to be sorry for! It was all on him."

"Yes, I do. I didn't go to the police. I couldn't fight him off. I feel so dirty. All of the time. And I didn't want to tell you because..."

"Why, Jen?"

"Because I thought I would lose you. Who would want to be with a dirty, tainted rape victim?"

"Jennifer, listen to me. You are not dirty. You are not tainted. You are a survivor, and I love you. All AJ will know of Anderson is that he is a sperm donor. If you want to tell her the full story when she's old enough, we can. I am in this for the long haul. I love all three of you. You, Henry, and AJ are my world, my everything, and that is never going to change."

"I love you, Em."

"I love you too."

"Em?"

"Yeah?"

"Could you just hold me?"

"Jen, you never have to ask."

Emily sat, holding the love of her life in one arm, and their newborn daughter in the other. Soon, all three fell into a peaceful sleep.
