Tara followed Izzy into the room they rented. She watched her tuck Jaden in. Then Izzy looked back at her, "Where's Carson?"
"Out with the boys, he'll be back later." Izzy nodded then laid down next to Jaden. Tara sat down in the chair and watched Izzy.
"You gonna stare all night?" Izzy snapped a few minutes later, and Tara looked away.
"Alright what the hell is your issue huh?" Tara growled back. "You've been treating everyone like shit. Dad beat you? Mom acts like you don't exist? Oh wait maybe your one of those spoiled kids whose only hardship would be mommy breathing down your neck…" Tara stopped when Izzy's fist slammed into her jaw. Before Izzy could hit her with her other fist Tara grabbed it and flipped her. Pinning Izzy below her she smirked down at her. "Must've hit one of them to strike a cord like that. So which was it?"
"Your face annoyed me, and I wanted to destroy something beautiful... you pick which you think it was." Izzy grunted from under Tara.
"Oh you've seen Fight Club." Tara smirked "If I let you go you going to hit me again?"
"Maybe."
"Great, I'll just sit here." Tara shifted to sit back on Izzy's stomach. She still had Izzy's arms in her hands. "You wanna talk about it?"
"About what?" Izzy growled.
"Your shity life."
"I do not have a shity life." Izzy struggled against Tara who chuckled.
"Alright, so why are you a bitch?"
"I'm not." Izzy pulled herself up putting her face inches from Tara's.
"Yeah so what it's just me?"
"Guess so." Izzy snarled. Tara laughed then moved extremely close to Izzy's ear.
"You need to grow up babe." Tara kissed Izzy's temple, doing this though gave Izzy's the opportunity to hit her head against Tara's mouth. "Fuck!" Tara slammed Izzy's upper body down against the floor. "You'll pay for that." Tara growled as the door opened, Carson walked in and saw them on the floor.
"I… You're not… Didn't I say no fighting?" Carson thought then stepped back outside. "I think I'll let you two be." He shut the door then walked back in and picked Jaden up. "I'll get us our own room." He carried the boy and the blanket to another room.
"That was so not fair." Izzy said still pinned under Tara.
"You're telling me." Tara rolled off Izzy and let her arms go. "Sorry."
"No you're not." Izzy sighed. "If you were you would've gotten off me much faster." Izzy rolled over to look at her. "My best friend died. He was supposed to pick his sister up." Tara looked at Izzy and pulled her into a hug.
"It'll be ok."
"It's getting better." Izzy said then pulled away a little, "Why do you care?"
"Because you'll be driving me tomorrow, and I'm guessing you know how to crash a car without killing yourself." Tara smiled.
"Hmm, never even would've thought of that." Izzy smirked and Tara chuckled.
"You're a terrible liar." Tara said and held Izzy, Izzy snuggled closer to Tara.
"I like this…" Izzy whispered and Tara smiled kissing the top of Izzy's head.
"Me too." Tara whispered as Izzy started to drift to sleep. Twenty minutes later Tara was still on the floor with a sleeping Izzy in her arms. 'I did it again… I'm so screwed.'

Emily growled at her phone as it rang, grabbing it and putting it against her ear.
"This better be good." She said.
"Oh well someone is very cranky for it being nearly noon." Garcia said on the other line.
"Hey Pen." Emily yawned.
"I thought I'd inform you that I have been put on bed rest for the week."
"Is everything alright?" Emily shot up in bed. "Do we need to come home?"
"Oh kitten I'm just fine, it seems like little Alex wants to weaken my joints. The doc said I should be fine in just a week and may even be able to go back to work by the time you lovelies get home."
"That's great." Emily smiled falling back to the bed, she looked over at JJ who was still asleep.
"You sound distracted, should I go?" She asked and Emily chuckled.
"No Pen, she's asleep."
"Aw, how cute! You think she'd kill you if you sent me a photo?"
"Um… with her state yeah, I'm sure." Emily grinned.
"Oh, well in that case ignore me. Now I should let you go, I do have work to do even if I am on bed rest."
"Alright Pen, stay safe please."
"Will do darling, keep my girl happy."
"Oh I will." Emily smirked.
"I'm glad things are better between the two of you."
"Me too Pen, me too. See you soon."
"Over and out."
