I've been trying to get this up all day!! Here comes the fluff!!

Emily awoke early in the morning to the smell of coffee brewing from downstairs. She quietly pulled herself out of JJ's grasp and changed. She knew that JJ needed as much rest as she could get, especially if they were going to last the whole day at the zoo. Making her way into the kitchen, she found Cindy and Jack having their breakfast, "Good Morning," she said to them.

"Good Morning, Emily," said Cindy. "Would you like me to make you something for breakfast?"

"Thank you, Cindy, but I'll wait for Jennifer to get up."

"Will you and Jenny be joining us at the zoo today?" Jack asked.

Emily nodded, "We will. Jennifer is looking forward to it."

"Is it safe?" asked Cindy.

"I've been in constant contact with Hotch. He knows that we will be going to the zoo and he has already faxed Will's picture to the security office there. I don't plan on letting anything spoil her happiness, so Jennifer doesn't know and I would appreciate it if you didn't say anything to her. Every precaution is being made to make sure that she is safe."

"If I didn't believe the love you had for my daughter, last night. I do now," exclaimed Cindy. "I can see it in your eyes."

"I'd do anything for her," admitted Emily.

"Like give up on your happiness," Jack stated.

Emily looked up at him. For a moment she was confused by the statement. Ultimately she realized he was referring to the conversation they had the previous day. "Like I said last night, I would not have been able to handle being separated from her. So, ending our relationship seemed the best idea at the time. I never stopped loving her, even when everything with Will started and she announced she was pregnant."

"Emily, as Jenny's mother I need to ask you a question and I hope that you don't take this the wrong way…but…Are you okay with the fact that Will is the father of the babies? Knowing that they were together?"

"I've loved those children from the moment I found out about them. I knew that I could be in their lives as the best Aunt that they could have. When Jennifer and I were together before Will, we talked about the idea of having a family. Whether it be by adoption or by one of us getting pregnant. So I see it as Will being the sperm donor. It would have had to happen in order for her to get pregnant in the first place. They are still a part of Jennifer. When they are born I will look at them and see only her, nothing else."

Emily could see the tears forming in Cindy's eyes as she answered the question. Cindy wrapped he arms tightly around Emily, "I couldn't have expected a better answer."

"EMILY!"

Emily jumped up when she heard JJ's voice screaming from the bedroom.

"EMILY!"

Emily ran up the stairs. Did he find them? Now? When she just promised her parents that she would always keep Jennifer safe! Emily burst into the bedroom to find JJ sitting up on the bed crying, her head in her hands.

"EMILY!"

"Shhh. I'm here, honey." Emily climbed up onto the bed and put her arms around JJ. Stroking JJ's hair, Emily asked, "What's wrong?"

"Will. He had his hands around your throat. You were dying and I couldn't stop him."

Tears were flowing from Emily's eyes at the heartache she was feeling for JJ. She looked up at JJ's parents as she hugged JJ tighter. "It's okay. I'm okay. It was just a nightmare."

"Grandma?" They heard Hannah call out from her room down the hall.

"It's okay," said Emily to Cindy. "I've got her. Take care of Hannah." Cindy and Jack nodded as they went down to Hannah's room.

"Honey, look at me," said Emily. She waited for JJ's eyes to meet her own. "See? I'm fine. Very much alive."

"I woke up after I called your name the first time and you weren't here. I thought…Where were you?"

"I'm so sorry, I woke up early and didn't want to wake you so I went downstairs."

"Please, don't leave me."

Emily felt her heart clench at the weakness in JJ's voice. "I promise you I will never leave you alone again."

"Are you okay, Aunt Jenny?" JJ and Emily looked at the doorway to see Hannah's worried face.

"I'm fine, honey. Come here," JJ patted the empty spot on the bed next to her. "I just had a nightmare."

Hannah threw her arms around JJ and squeezed tightly. "Mommy always gives me a tight hug after I have a nightmare. She says it chases the nightmares away. Did it work?"

Emily saw a smile appear on JJ's face. "It did, honey. Thank you so much. Why don't you go and get dressed and then maybe we can talk Grandma into making us some pancakes."

Hannah's face lit up as she ran from the room screaming, "Grandma, it worked!! I chased Aunt Jenny's nightmares away."

Emily looked over at the clock, "It's only eight am. How can she have so much energy?"

JJ looked over at her and just laughed, "Just think in five years we'll have two of them running around with that much energy."

Emily groaned and then smiled, "I can't wait." Emily leaned over and gave JJ a kiss.

"Good 'cause neither can I. Now let's get downstairs. I really want those pancakes."

"Can't stand in the way of a pregnant woman and her hormones," joked Emily.

"Sound advice," JJ joked.

30 minutes later the pair joined JJ's parents and Hannah in the kitchen. "Aunt Jenny, Grandma is making pancakes!!"

"You okay?" asked Jack.

"I'm fine, daddy," JJ gave her dad a hug. "I'm sorry if I scared you both."

"Jenny, with what's going on, I would be surprised if you didn't have any nightmares," said Cindy as she flipped the pancakes that were on the griddle.

Breakfast went by uneventful and within an hour they were on their way to the zoo to meet up with Andy, Katie, Kenny and Beth. After all of the 'Good Mornings' were exchanged, they walked into the park. Emily and JJ had to first report to the security booth since they were both carrying their guns with them. They had to inform them that they were indeed authorized to carry the guns with them, neither of them admitting to the other that they felt a little safer with the armed protection.

When they met up with the group again, Hannah ran over to them, "Come on Aunt Jenny. There is so much to see!"

"We're coming," JJ answered as she felt Hannah pull on her hand.

They entered the primates section of the zoo and the first exhibit they went into was the Monkey House. As they entered, there was a zoo ranger giving a talk about squirrel monkeys. "Squirrel monkeys live in the tropical forests of Central and South America in the canopy layer. As you can see, their fur is short and close, and colored olive at the shoulders and yellowish orange on its back and extremities. Their throat and the ears are white and their mouths are black. The upper part of their head is hairy. This black and white face gives them their German name, "skull monkeys".

Hannah giggled one of the monkeys jumped onto the ranger's shoulder. "This is Jake. He was born here almost five years ago. In a few months we will be partnering him up with one of the females in hopes that a family can be created." He handed Jake a small piece of an apple. "Don't be alarmed if he jumps from my shoulder onto one of yours. He is harmless." As if that was his cue, Jake jumped off his shoulder and onto Kenny's. "Squirrel monkeys are omnivores, eating primarily fruits and insects. Occasionally they also eat nuts, buds, eggs and small vertebrates."

The Jareau family giggled as Jake took turns jumping onto each of their families shoulder, finally landing on Emily's. But he didn't stop there. Jake thought it would be funny to crawl on top of Emily's head. He stood there clapping his hands as everyone laughed at him. JJ took a picture with her phone and saved it as the photo that would pop up whenever Emily called her. "Come on Jake," said the ranger as he bribed him with a piece of fruit to get the monkey to come back to his shoulder. "I hope you all enjoy the rest of your time here," he said as he took Jake and left the area. The family took the time to walk through the rest of the Monkey House and watched the monkey as they played with each other.

"Emily, the monkey was sitting on your head," said Hannah as if Emily didn't realize it.

Deciding to play along, Emily joked, "He was? Why didn't you tell me?"

"It was too funny!" Hannah admitted.

Watching the interaction with Emily and her daughter, Katie whispered into JJ's ear, "She's going to be a great mother."

JJ looked up at Emily and they both exchanged a smile. "I can't wait," JJ admitted as she rubbed her stomach.

The rest of the day went by smoothly even though Emily had a minor meltdown when they entered the reptile house. After leaving the rest of the family inside while she ran after Emily, JJ caught up to her on a bench outside, "Calm down, Em it's just snakes."

"Calm down! Just snakes!"

"Emily Prentiss. Are you telling me that a big, bad F.B.I. like you is afraid of snakes?" JJ joked.

"They can kill with one bit or a squeeze a person to death," Emily defended herself.

JJ giggled as she kissed Emily. "You make fun of my fear for snakes and you think a kiss is going to make up for it?" said Emily with a fake look of upset on her face.

"I do," JJ replied, "because I know you can't stay mad at me when I kiss you like this." JJ started to kiss down Emily's throat.

Emily let out a soft moan as she pulled away. "You know me so well," she replied with a grin. They sat there cuddled in each other's arms until the rest of the family joined them.

"Everything okay," asked Andy.

"Everything's fine," said JJ. "It turns out that my big, tough, F.B.I. Agent of a girlfriend is a little afraid of snakes."

"Jennifer!" They all laughed as Emily playfully swatted JJ on the arm.

After a long day at the zoo they all went out to dinner and then split up to journey to their homes. Emily had noticed JJ was wincing a little during dinner and decided that she was going to do her best to make her go upstairs, take her pain medication and lay down once they entered her parent's home. After some discussion JJ finally agreed to take the pill but she didn't want to be alone in the bedroom, afraid that she would have another nightmare. Emily happily agreed to join her and they both wished Cindy and Jack a 'Good Night' and made the trip up to the bedroom.

They laid on the bed with JJ's back against Emily and Emily's arms wrapped protectively around JJ. "I want you to be their mother," JJ said softly.

"I will be Jennifer," said Emily.

"No. I want you to legally be there mother. I need to know that they will never be sent to live with their father if anything happens to me."

Emily rubbed her hand along JJ's shoulder. "Nothing is going to ever happen to you, but, if it means that much to you then I would be happy to do it."

"Really?" said JJ as she turned in the bad to look into Emily's eyes.

Emily nodded, "Really. In fact, I'll call Hotch in the morning and see what he can do to help us with it." JJ's eyes could not have glowed a brighter blue than they did at that time. Tears pulled in her eyes and Emily started to get concerned that there was something wrong. "Jennifer?"

JJ could see the worried look in her eyes. She shook her head, "I'm okay. Just very happy. Pregnancy hormones," she joked as she smiled at Emily.

Emily, once again, wrapped her arms around JJ and pulled her into a deep hug, kissing her. "Let's get to bed, baby. Our kids need rest." She placed her hand over JJ's stomach as they both closed their eyes and drifted to sleep.

More fluff on the way tomorrow. AND...Will makes another contact.

Who's cell phone does he call? Emily? or JJ?
