CHAPTER 11 - Recreate
Anthony and Maura have been on four dates since their initial lunch date. Last night Maura and Anthony explored the physical aspects of their relationship. Anthony woke up feeling great and wishing for an encore. Maura was awake with her eyes closed and lying on top of Anthony's chest savoring the moment. She felt so good and relaxed. This was better than sleeping with Jane. Hmmm is that little Ant nudging me to wake up and play. I love playing with my little friend Ant. He is my best friend ever.
Anthony could tell that Maura was awake and decided to let her make the second move if she wanted a morning wakeup. He obviously made the first move as his anatomy could attest.

"All I remember hearing was a moan and it was over. I'm sorry Maura."
"Anthony that was the ultimate compliment for you to be so turned on that you enjoyed 'la petit morte.' Besides you were most thorough last night and into the morning. Don't I appear really mellow?"
Smiling with dimples, "Yes you do. Let's get up and grab some breakfast. But first…"
Forty-five minutes later found Anthony downstairs preparing breakfast and Maura finishing her shower. Anthony looked up to find Maura floating downstairs looking well loved. He liked that look and she appeared so relaxed in his home. She belongs here.
Maura approached Anthony and reached up to give him a kiss. "So are we going to hide that we are dating?"
"I am too old to sneak around."
"Works for me. I will probably pull DEP aside and let her know of my plans to relocate."
"I have been meaning to ask, what's with the DEP and DIM?"
"Silly nicknames we had when we were younger that stuck. We looked like twins except for the eye color; it was really uncanny. Anyway we switched during a bad period in both of our lives. However, we both wanted to be doctors so DEP, Doctor Emily Prentiss and DIM, Doctor Isles Maura. The DMI wasn't working for Emily so she decided on DIM and it has stuck to this day."
"Okayyyy… Cute."
"I know it's just one of those soul sister things."
"Let's head on over to the Prentiss household and give the ladies a hand with the boys or the cooking. I really enjoyed our time together and I am looking forward to more."
"So am I Mr. Sansone." Stepping in for a hug and kiss as they held hands to the car.

Em restricted the boys to their game room and bedrooms. Allowing her and JJ to prepare the food and drinks. Declan had his buddy Mykel over and Jack choose to hang with the big boys in the game room. Henry and Matt decided to play in their room. They were building a fort.
Anthony and Maura arrived together looking happy and relaxed. The ladies smiled inwardly happy for their friends. The couple jumped in to help prepare the food and drinks.
Maura pulled Emily to the side, "DEP I'm relocating to the DC area and Anthony and I are dating. Also, would you mind if I stay in your guesthouse until I find a place? Most importantly, keep it private I want to surprise Jane."
"DIM the guesthouse is yours permanently or until you find a place. However, don't forget to mention the great sex between you and Anthony, because you are totally mellow." Anthony ears turned red and JJ lost it, which caused Maura and Emily to cackle.
Anthony appeared embarrassed but he was among friends and it was a compliment so he joined in their laughter.
"Don't worry Sansone we will be circumspect. I don't have to tell you that Maura is like a sister to me. Mess up buddy and I will go Black Ops on your ass."
"Everyone paused because they knew she was totally serious."
"I would never intentionally hurt her Emily."
"Just so we understand one another and you Maura, I love you but make sure you handle your shit."
"Yes sister dear."
JJ looked at Sansone, "Don't worry I got your back. Maura hurt Anthony and I will stomp you into the ground." Emily gave her a death stare and JJ meekly added, "If Emily says it's okay."
Anthony coughed saying, "Whipped." everyone broke out laughing.

The cookout was in full swing with all attending to include Clyde, Jane, her husband Gabriel and daughter Regina. Maura asked Jane to walk over to the guesthouse with her for a few moments. Jane asked DEP if she would keep an eye on Regina since Gabriel was in the game room with the boys.
"No problem, take your time."
Regina was around the same age as Matt and Henry. They formed a fast friendship and were presently having a ball in the pool. Clyde decided to come over and sit next to Em and JJ. "Ladies I made my deposit so you can withdraw at anytime. Em and JJ are you sure you don't want it the old fashioned way. It will be pleasurable I'm sure."
JJ hit Clyde on the back of his head, "Clyde you are so full of shit. You touch my wife and I will throw you in a septic tank to swim around with the other crazy rats for the rest of your life."
Clyde and Em turned red trying to hold in their amusement. JJ looked at the two of them and had to laugh her self. She didn't know where she came up with that crazy shit maybe it was the Garcia influence. Heckle and Jeckle finally released their laughter with Em holding her stomach and Clyde yelling I'm going to wet myself while running to the pool house restroom. Everyone outside was wondering why Em couldn't stop laughing and it started a chain reaction.
Garcia hacked into their security system to replay the conversation. She rewound it back to JJ's septic tank threat and the BAU team; Beth, Kevin and Jessica lost it. Morgan and Kevin joined Clyde in the pool house. Em tried to control the laughter and ended up passing out. Garcia just peed on herself and JJ lost it. The kids were having too much fun to pay the adults any attention. Hotch was releasing full belly laughs every time he thought of everyone's reaction to JJ's statement.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As soon as they walked through the door Jane grabbed Maura's arm, "Maura tell me you are not going back already?"
"Jane, I've decided to relocate to the DC area. I will be staying in DEP's guesthouse until I find a place. I have been hired as a Forensic Pathologist with the FBI and given a Teaching Fellow at Georgetown University School of Medicine. I am also dating Anthony."
"YESSSS! Maura, that is awesome news. I am so happy for you but more happy for me because my best friend is close. What made you decide to relocate?"
Maura glanced outside at the people in DEP's backyard and then looked seriously at Jane. "My family is here. Now let's go back to the fun."
Maura could feel the peace that settled over Jane. The final confirmation she needed that she made the right decision.
As they walked up to the patio surrounding the pool, Maura ran up to an unconscious DEP. "Jane my bag." JJ told her no need she just passed out because she was laughing hard and long and should come around soon. Then she noticed Hotch laughing in starts and stops. Garcia exited the pool house wearing her bathing suit and a wrap. Clyde, Morgan, Garcia, and Tara jumped in the pool to play with the kids.
Jane staring at the adults, "I thought we decided to get in the pool after we eat." Hotch handed her Garcia's laptop and told her and Maura to watch it. They watched it passed the stream where Garcia peed herself and they lost it.
Rossi walked into the backyard shortly afterwards to see everyone in the pool including Maura who hates the chlorine. JJ was rubbing Em's back and stomach. Emily what's wrong with your stomach? Morgan handed Rossi Garcia's laptop and everyone yelled "NOOOO!"

8 WEEKS LATER
Em and JJ were at a University mixer and formal announcement of Maura joining the staff. The photographer requested a picture of Maura and Emily for the cover of tomorrow's paper. Emily whispered to DIM that she was refraining from anything alcoholic until she knew for sure she wasn't pregnant. However, the photographer heard their conversation and made a point of placing it within his notes.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The case was put on the back burner until something was picked up on someone's radar. It was a lazy Sunday morning in the Jareau-Prentiss household. Declan made his brothers bacon sandwiches for breakfast. The smell reached their moms bedroom. JJ was the closest to the toilet and she lost her dinner. Emily went for the wastebasket. Em looked at her wife to check her symptoms. Fuck! Clyde's ego is going to be impossible to contain. It appears highly likely that he impregnated both her and JJ. Aww hell let the good times roll.
The ladies home pregnancy test showed positive so they scheduled an appointment with their obstetrician, Dr. Sharon Evans. JJ was first to take an ultrasound. The baby was the size of a raspberry and they could hear its strong heartbeat. Emily asked the doctor for 4 copies of the ultrasound and kissed her wife ecstatic that their baby is healthy.
Em impatiently jumped up on the table with Sharon laughing at her friend. She put the wand over Em's stomach and stopped with eyes raised almost to her hairline. "Oh dear!"
Em was suddenly very anxious, "What?" Sharon turned the monitor around to show Emily who fainted.
JJ went to her wife. "What is it Sharon?"
"Sit down first JJ."
Sharon stood in front of JJ and said, "Em is having triplets and by appearances they will be identical." JJ fainted.
"Well shit." Sharon called for her assistant to notify their emergency contact Dr. Isles. Fortunately for JJ the chair was a recliner so Dr. Sharon was able to let her lounge comfortably.
Maura appeared less than 15 minutes later with Anthony. As they met in Dr. Sharon's office they were updated on the ladies condition, "Dr. Isles both JJ and Em are pregnant."
"That's wonderful."
"Right, hold that thought. JJ was first to receive her ultrasound and her baby had a strong heartbeat and was forming perfectly. Emily had somewhat of a shock and fainted and when I told JJ she fainted. Emily is having identical triplets."
Anthony was feeling a little woozy.
Maura smiled, "Oh dear, that's wonderful and just what DEP deserves. How are the babies?"
"Excellent, healthy heartbeats and perfect formation."
Anthony looked at Maura, "Can I tell Clyde…please babe this is every man's forbidden fantasy. Please you got to let me tell him. Please."
"Go ahead but I am throwing you under the bus if they come after me."
"It is so worth it. Be back in a minute."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Clyde, Sansone. I have some news for you. JJ and Emily are pregnant. JJ and the baby are fine. Emily and the identical triplets are doing great also." Anthony heard a thud on Clyde's end of the phone. "Clyde! Clyde! Totally worth it."
Anthony hung up to check on the status of JJ and Emily.
He entered their examination room to find a dazed JJ and Emily. Maura giggled at Anthony's smirk. She turned towards Emily, "Let's get you ladies home."
Dr. Sharon handed them the copies of the ultrasound and directed her assistant to find wheelchairs to roll them to the car. Dr. Sharon gave Maura the care instructions for the ladies and what to look out for with Emily since she is considered a high-risk pregnancy.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The boys were upset to see the condition of their moms as they entered the house.
JJ finally came out of her fugue and directed Anthony and Maura to help Em to their bedroom and she would talk to the boys.
"Guys let's go into the family room and I will tell you what's happening." They practically ran into the family room and sat on the couch concerned.
We talked about this before, "Guys, your mom and I are pregnant."
"Yeah, Yea, YES!"
"My baby is fine with a strong heartbeat. So is Em's. However, there are three babies in her stomach and they are identical."
Matt and Declan yelled, "Wow! That is so cool."
Henry not to be left out, "Yea, Cool!"
JJ beamed at her sons as she enveloped them in a group hug, "Yes it is pretty cool in fact it's a blessing."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Anthony received a call from Clyde, "Hello!"
"Qui est l'homme, qui est l'homme…"
Anthony held the phone to Maura and she started laughing. "He is saying, "Who's the man?" in French.
"Totally worth it."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The news spread quickly when Henry called Garcia and Matt and Declan called their Uncle Morgan and Grandpa Rossi.
Maura called Jane to share the news. JJ lay next to her wife on their bed extremely happy. Em finally snapped out of her shock. She looked at JJ, "I am blaming this happy occurrence on you. The eggs probably split when I was laughing my ass off at Clyde swimming in a septic tank with crazy rats."
"Damn babe, you may be right."
"Ughhh Clyde, there will be no shutting him up." Em's cell showed that Clyde was calling.
"Qui est l'homme, qui est l'homme…J'ai livre!" (Who's the man, who's the man…I delivered.)
