So, i realise its been a while since my last update, as anticipated, college has been really busy since we returned from Christmas break. I found some times in between writing the worlds worst assignments, to grace you lovely people with an update. I might even update twice, so keep reading.

As she pulled up at the restaurant, she was surprised at the lack of government issued SUV. Checking her watch, she saw that she was on time, if anything she was a little late. Deciding not to worry until she had checked inside, Emily climbed out before making her way around the car to get Henry.

''Now remember Henry, mommy doesn't know you're here so I want you to stay hidden until I say so okay?''

''m'k Emmy, I still get pancakes?''

''Yeah champ, you can still get pancakes'' Laughing slightly at how the boy had the same reaction to breakfast food, hell food in general as his mother.

Taking his hand, they made their way towards the entrance, keeping Henry slightly behind Emily just in case his mother was inside.

Pushing the door open, Emily immediately saw JJ. The blonde woman was sitting at a table at the back of the restaurant with her head propped up on her hand looking down at her phone, no doubt checking her email. Smiling, Emily bent down so she was level with the young boy. ''Okay Henry, I can see your mommy, remember you're a surprise so stay behind me okay?'' Getting a smile and an eager nod in return Emily takes Henry's hand and makes her way to the blonde mother.

''Hey Jen''

''Hey'' Standing up to give Emily a hug, Jennifer wrapped her arms around the woman she had seen just over an hour ago, inhaling the scent that was uniquely Emily. ''I missed you.''

''Missed me? I saw you like an hour ago.''

''Yeah, well. Sue me. I missed you. Where did you go anyway?'' Despite telling herself she would wait for Emily to tell her, curiosity was getting the better of her and she couldn't wait any longer.

Moving her hand to the other woman's cheek, Emily smiled at Jennifer's impatience that she found so endearing. '' I went to get you something.''

''Me? What on earth did you get me?''

''Close your eyes'' ''Em...'' ''Just trust me, close your eyes, you'll love it'' ''Fine, but if you do anything weird...'' Laughing, Emily kissed Jennifer's forehead and moved her to stand a little further back than she was.

Satisfied that Jennifer's eyes were closed and she wasn't going to fall over when Henry inevitably tackled her into a hug, Emily pulled Henry out from behind the partial wall that secluded the booths. Placing a finger on her lips to keep him quiet, Emily put Henry in front of his mother and took a step back. ''Okay, you can open your eyes now.''

''Emily... Henry!''

''Mommy!''

Both blondes reached for each other at the same time and Henry was soon engulfed in a hug from his mother.

''Henry, I missed you so much. What on earth are you doing here? Where's daddy?''

''I came to see you. Emmy phoned daddy and he said I was coming to live with you for a while. He let me fly on a aeroplane all by myself cos he said I was a big boy and I met Jane, she was nice, she gave me a cookie and helped me when the plane hurted my ears. And then I got off and Emmy was there and then she said I was a surprise and I haded to be quiet and then I get pancakes. I get pancakes now?'' He said in one breath that had both women struggling to keep up.

Jennifer just laughed as she put Henry down and pulled Emily into another hug. '. ''If I didn't love you before I definitely do now.'' She whispered into the woman's ear. Placing a quick kiss on Emily's cheek, Jennifer slid into the booth next to her son, peppering his face in kisses.

''Mommy! Emmy help''

Laughing at the interactions between mother and son Emily just shook her head, motioning for a passing waitress. ''Sorry champ, you're on your own with that.''

''Hi, you guys ready to order'' the waitress asked, smiling at Henry.

''Pancakes!'' Henry simply replied

''Pancakes for the little guy?'' checking for permission as she wrote down his order. ''And what about you guys?''

''I'll have the salmon and eggs.'' Emily replied placing her menu down.

''And ill have the bacon.''

''No problem, can I get you guys any drinks?''

''2 coffees and a chocolate milkshake.'' Jennifer replied, glancing at her son.

''Ill bring those right over.''

''Pancakes and a chocolate milkshake? Someone's a lucky boy.'' Smiling at grin Henry gave his mother at the mention of the milkshake.

''I'm going to spoil him every chance I get, remind me to phone Will and see when he wants him back.'' JJ said, the reluctance to return Henry to his father was clear from her voice.

Every since the split, things between Jennifer and Will were awkward, with Jennifer's work hours it was difficult for her to get time to see Henry and Will was spending much more time with his son that Jennifer. Not that JJ thought that she should see Henry any more that Will but with the way her last few months at work had been, Will was getting more reluctant to let Henry fly to Virginia, meaning he was beginning to see New Orleans as his home. Much to Emily's disgruntlement, Henry was beginning to pick up bits of an accent.

''Henry, did daddy say when you were going home?''

Shaking his head, he gave Emily a strange look before spotting the waitress with his milkshake.

''Here you go, I got the little guy some crayons and a colouring book too.'' Handing the youngster the cup of crayons and the book.

''Thanks, Henry, what do you say?''

''Thank you.'' Henry didn't even lift his head from the picture he had already begun to colour, making the three women laugh.

As the waitress made her leave, Jennifer turned to look at Emily, unable to keep the smile from her face.

''What? Do I have something on my face?'' frowning slightly at the look she wad receiving.

Laughing, Jennifer shook her head and reached across the table to hold Emily's hand, not caring in that moment who saw. ''No, You're just... God Em, how on earth did you get Will to agree to let me see Henry? And whilst we're on a case? Did you threaten him?'' Suddenly a little worried that her ex-boyfriend was less than agreeable with the decision.

''Jen, do you really think I would do that?'' Feigning hurt at the suggestion that she would do such a thing.

Simply raising an eyebrow at the brunette, both women laughed. ''Okay, well maybe I would, what can I say, I never liked the guy. But no, seriously Jen I would never do anything that might mean you spend less time with your son. I just told him how much you missed Henry and he agreed. He said he was actually going to ask if you wanted to have him for a while. He's got somethings to do and he thought that the little guy could use some time with his mommy.''

Before Jennifer could respond, the food arrived and she was tasked with keeping Henry as clean as the youngster could be whilst eating his pancakes. Emily just sat back and observed the shine reappearing in the young woman's eyes.

So, there we go, finally an update. Im kind of losing my muse with this story, ive got so many different ideas in my head, none of which i feel will fit with this so bare with me and i'll update soon, maybe even today.
