I am so sorry that it took me so long to update. I had an idea, which turned into chapter 9, and I was working on that.
I do not own Criminal Minds, Frozen or Doc McStuffins.
JJ and Emily each unbuckled a twin and let them run ahead into the house while JJ got Henry out of the car.
"Come on Em, Will is inside with the video camera." JJ said, walking inside. They found Will inside with the girls in the living room. Anah and Addiesan were opening a present, two presents each already sitting beside them.
Will shrugged slightly when JJ gave him a look. "They really wanted to go outside and I figured you two would like to see it, so I needed a distraction."
Emily told the girls they could go outside and then took the camera from Will and followed them out the door. There were six tables set up, each with a Cheetah Girls themed table cloth. Three of the tables had Cheetah Girls confetti, and there were tree bouncy houses set up around the yard. There was a Happy Birthday Cheetah Girl themed banner hanging off the back porch. Emily took the camera and walked around the yard getting a widen shot of the decorations.
"Hey girls, do you want to get a picture by your banner before your friends get here?" Emily asked, setting down the video camera so she could pull out her phone.
"Yeah! C'mon Annie!" Addiesan yelled to her sister who was already in the castle-shaped bouncy house. Anah climbed out and ran over Addie taking her hand. Once they were in the right spot Emily and JJ took the pictures. Once that was done, JJ walked back into her house to make sure that nobody was knocking on the door and found the team on the front porch, Derek's hand in the air about to knock. She let them and told them where to put the presents before they all made their way to the backyard.
"Hey Em?" She asked, walking up beside Emily who was helping Will with the grill. They had decided they would get happy meals for the kids and grill hamburgers and hot dogs for the adults.
"'Lex!" The girls yelled as soon as they spotted Alex walking into the backyard.
"Hey guys. Happy Birthday!" She said, bending down to give them a hug.
"Come in the bouncy house, 'Lex!" Addiesan said, pulling on her hand.
"OK I will. I just to talk to your Mommy first ok?"
"Otay." As the girls ran off to one of the bouncy house, Alex walked up to Emily.
"Hey 'Lex, what's up?"
"I just wanted to let you know that one of the other moms that I babysit for needs me to babysit tonight, so I won't be able to spend the night with the girls."
"Ok, that's fine. Uh...are you going to be here long? Lunch is in about an hour."
"Yeah, I'll be able to stay the whole time; I just won't be able to go home with you." Alex said.
"Ok. Well go have fun then. Today is a day that the kids under 18 get to have fun."
"Alright." Alex said and then ran off towards the bouncy house the twins were in, only pausing long enough to kick off her flip-flops.
As the guests started to arrive, Emily decided to go and get the happy meals from McDonalds.
When she got back, JJ had everyone seated and the adults were getting their hamburgers and hot dogs ready.
"Mommy, Mommy!" Bella said excitedly when Emily sat down beside her.
"Yes, baby?"
"Can Laila come spend the night wif me?" She asked.
"Sure Sweetheart. Why don't you finish eating and then you can ask her mommy if it's ok, alright?" Emily suggested.
Bella nodded and went back to eating her nuggets.
Soon everyone was done and Emily told the twins to come sit at the two separate tables she had sat up for opening presents. JJ was first. Derek had asked what they might want after he had met them, and she had helped him pick out a Barbie playhouse.
"Ok girls close your eyes, cause this is a really big present for both of ya'll" JJ told them and watched as they covered their eyes with their hands. She waited until Derek was standing beside her, before she told the girls to open their eyes.
"This is from me and Uncle Derek."
Addiesan gasped a split second before Bella did, and yelled, "It's a Barbie house! Look Mommy!"
"I see it, baby. We can put that in a new backyard tomorrow." Emily said, and noticed JJ looking over at her when she said that.
Next was Reid. He had gotten the girls a set of princess books, that consisted of Cinderella and Snow White. Aaron and Beth got them a bathtub set that had glitter pens, crayons, and paint in it. Penelope got them lots of coloring books and markers, while Rossi got them a play cooking set that had all kinds of play food and a kitchen set that had pots and pans; everything a kid could want.
Amongst other things that Bella and Addie got from their friends, they also got some very pretty outfits like a matching purple sparkly shirt and jean shorts. Addiesan got a Doc McStuffins doll, while Bella got a Frozen Elsa doll.
Once everyone was done passing out their presents, Emily decided to go ahead let them swim if they wanted to.
"Miss Emily?" Sofia said, pulling on Emily's shirt.
"Yes Sweetie."
"Can we go swimming now?" Her sister Zoe asked.
"Yes you may. Do you guys need help changing into your bathing suits?" Emily asked, since the twins' parents could not come to the party.
Sofia nodded and Emily took them, Anahbella, and Addiesan to the bathroom to get changed.
The parents let the kids swim for about an hour, and the party started to die down around 2 pm. Earlier, Emily had told Addiesan she could ask a friend of hers to sleep over since Bella had asked Laila. She chose Sofia and Zoe. Emily pulled out her phone to call their mom, while JJ was helping the team throw away the trash left over from the party. The twins had begged their Uncle Derek and Uncle Aaron to build the Barbie playhouse and were currently dressed in Elsa and Ana dresses serving 'tea' to Dave and Beth.
Emily hung up the phone and turned to Sofia and Zoe. "Your Mommy said it was ok for you to come," She paused to let jump up and down, before she added, "She said to bring you home so you guys can get some clothes, so go get your shoes please."
"Ok Miss Emily." Sofia said and took her sister's hand. They ran to the pool deck and both put their shoes on, with some help from Alex, who was also leaving.
"Hey Jen, I'm taking the girls home to get some clothes." Emily hollered to her and at JJ's nod in response her and the twins left.
JJ and Spencer helped gather up the presents and left them by the front. When Emily arrived back with the twins, she realized she did not have enough room for everybody. So with help of JJ, she was able to transport two sets of twins, Laila and all the presents back home to her apartment.
Ok I know I did not include Will or Henry in this, but Will is going to make a big appearance in the next chapter. As I have said, I got an idea and was able to make chapter 9 out of it. So I will most likely have that up by the weekend.
Please review!
Seven reviews= next chapter.
