After consulting with the resident Floral Designer, Reid and Rossi selected a colorful bowl arrangement that mimicked the flowers Garcia had chosen for Emma and Reid's vow renewal ceremony. Then, after paying for the groceries, they loaded everything into the car (Reid being extra careful with the flowers) and headed back to the apartment.
"You were being careful about what you said concerning Emma's new place," Rossi observed as he drove.
"Yes, I think I learned something," Reid admitted. "You know, we've had several arguments about where she was living before. I didn't want a continuation of that."
"Good Boy!" Rossi praised him. "Keep the peace. She doesn't need any more stress in her life right now."
As soon as they pulled into the parking lot of Emma's apartment building, Garcia rushed out to greet them.
"What did you get?" she demanded. ""You went shopping without me. I can't stand it when people go shopping without me. Let me help you carry everything in. Oh – Flowers!"
"They're for Emma," Rossi told her sternly. "We'll use them as a centerpiece for tonight's dinner table."
"How is Emma?" Reid asked anxiously as they carried the multiple bags of groceries into the apartment.
"Sleeping soundly," was the reply from JJ. "The poor thing passed out as soon as her head hit the pillow. She was exhausted!"
"May I check on her?" Reid asked shyly, as he put the bags he was carrying on the kitchen counter.
"Go ahead," JJ smiled at him. "Just don't wake her up. She needs to get her rest now. Once the babies arrive she's not going to be getting any down time."
After Reid had disappeared into the bedroom, JJ and Garcia turned to Rossi.
"We need to talk," they declared.
