A/N- Just a little follow up to the story…. this is set about a year in the future.

A/N- Once again thank you to every one who read and reviewed this story. The support throughout was overwhelming.

Epilogue- ENJOY!!!!

Emily stood in front of the full length mirror in her and JJ's bedroom and just stared at her reflection. She couldn't believe this day was happening. If someone had told her a year ago that she would be here now she would have laughed in their faces. A year ago she was a single, closeted gay woman who was secretly in love with her best friend and now here she was an openly gay woman about to marry her best friend. Emily couldn't help but smirk as she thought back to the day that both she and JJ came out to their team.

Flashback…

"Are you sure about this JJ, I mean we don't have to tell…"

"Would you just stop it? We are telling them, end of story. To be honest I'm surprised we have been able to keep a secret this long. I can't believe Henry hasn't let it slip." JJ laughed as her and Emily pulled into the Bureau parking lot. "Besides you are moving in next weekend and I for one would like some help." JJ smirked.

"How can you be so calm about this?" Emily couldn't believe that JJ was acting like it was no big deal. She had been a lesbian for all of seven months now and she was already ready to tell the team. Hell she had already told her parents. Of course it had gone about as well as JJ had expected. Her mother yelled something JJ couldn't really understand, and then proceeded to hang up on her only daughter. That was the last time JJ had heard from her and that had been two months ago. So for the life of Emily, she couldn't figure out why she so desperately wanted to come out to their friends.

"Because I know our friends and unlike my holy than thou mother they won't care. In fact I am pretty sure they will be happy for us."

"But what about the whole not dating a co-worker thing? You know Strauss will have a field day if she finds out. She already hates the BAU."

"Would you relax?" JJ could help the laughter that came out with her statement.

"I don't know I still don't…"

"Stop it we are telling them. Today!" JJ stated firmly, leaving no more room for debate. It was tone that Emily had grown to know quite a lot of the last seven months. JJ offered Emily a quick kiss before the elevator doors opened and the two women went their separate ways.

JJ made a few phone calls and organized a few new cases files for the team to work through, and with no pressing case that needed their immediate attention she decided it was time for Emily and herself to come clean about their relationship. JJ called Garcia and asked her to come to the conference room before heading out to gather the rest of the team. About ten minutes later the entire team was gathered awaiting JJ's so called "big news."

"So what's up my little gumdrop?" Garcia asked knowing good and well what this was all about. Garcia glanced over at Emily and had to hide her laughter at the look of absolute dread that was crossing her friends face.

"Well I… no actually Emily and I have something to tell you all." JJ started and motioned for Emily to stand up.

"Okay, what is it?" Hotch asked slightly confused but having an idea where this was headed.

"Well I know this might come as a shock to you but Emily and I…um… well you see we have been…um…what I mean is…"

"We're gay, we've been dating for seven months and we're moving in together this weekend." Emily blurted out before slapping her hand over her mouth. You seriously could have heard a pin drop in that room.

"Smooth Emily. Real smooth." JJ mumbled under her breath.

"What? This was your idea!" Emily defended as the rest of the team just stared at the two in shock.

"Guys, say something, please?" JJ all but begged.

"Well hot damn I won the pool!" Rossi said loudly.

"Do what?" Emily and JJ both exclaimed at the same time.

"Oh please, did you really not think we didn't know?" Morgan asked. "I mean we are profilers." He smirked.

"But… how? And what pool?" Emily asked.

"I think most of us had our suspicions about you for, well since forever." Rossi smirked pointing at Emily, who responded by sticking out her tongue. "And then when JJ broke it off with Will, we just kind of figured it would happen. The bet was when you guys would it admit it to us and I do believe I had February in the pool." Everyone groaned and placed a twenty dollar bill in Rossi's hand.

Emily was snapped out of her daydream but a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Emily asked.

"It's me mommy." Henry yelled through the door. Now six years old he had taken to calling Emily mommy about the time Emily moved in. Emily still remembered how she cried for two hours after the first time he had said it. She never really thought she would get the chance to be a mother but with JJ and Henry her dreams were all coming true.

Flashback…

Emily was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner while Henry was busy playing in the living room. JJ had to stay late at work to work on a press conference speech for the director and while she missed JJ she really did love her time alone with Henry. She could see him having a very animated conversation with one of his action figures and Emily couldn't help but laugh. Henry was a very well behaved little boy and even though he loved having Emily and JJ play with him; he was just as happy playing by himself. Emily wasn't sure what Henry was playing but by the looks of it was something very typical of a little boy; as she watch an action figure take a nose dive off the couch.

"You and mommy caughted the bad guy Aunt Emmy." Henry said as he turned around to face Emily who was still standing in the kitchen watching him play.

"We did?" Emily asked tossing the towel into the sink and making her way into the living room.

"Yep." Henry smiled. Henry was still too young to fully understand what JJ and Emily did for a living, all he knew was they caught bad people and to him that was the coolest job in the world. "I don't have girl action figures but this one is you." He held up a spider man figurine. "And this one is mommy." He smiled as he held up a Capitan America figurine. "I just pretend they're girls." Henry smiled proudly and Emily laughed.

"Well I'm glad that we caught the bad guy." Emily said ruffling the little boys wild hair.

"Is mommy going to be home soon?" Henry asked he climbed up onto the couch beside Emily.

"Well I don't know buddy, she's still at work."

"Will she be here to tuck me in? She is suppose to read me a story tonight."

"Probably not, but I'm here and I can read you a story." Emily smiled down at the little boy.

"Okay." Henry smiled back. "I really like that you live with us now."

"I like living with you too." Emily replied back. "But you know what I think it might be time for you to start getting ready for bed."

"Do I have too?" Henry whined.

"Yes you do. What would you mother think if she came home and found out I let you stay up?" Emily laughed.

"You'd be in trouble." Henry laughed.

"Exactly. Now go get ready for bed and I'll be in to read you a story in a little bit."
"Ok." Henry said as he slide off the couch and ran up the steps.

Forty five minutes later Emily was finishing up another telling of 'Green Eggs and Ham,' which had become Henry's favorite story as of late.

"So do you think you would like Green Eggs and Ham Henry?" Emily asked as she closed the book.

"Ewww, no. That would be gross." Henry replied as he turned up his nose at the thought.

"I would have to agree." Emily smiled. "So its time for bed." Emily leaned over and gave Henry a kiss on the forehead. "Good night buddy."

"Aunt Emmy can I asked you a question?"

"Ask a question sweetie and sure you can ask me whatever you want?" Emily answered. JJ and her had been working on Henry's grammar much to the little boys displeasure.

"That is what I said." Henry huffed dramatically.

"Ok, what did you want to ask me?"

"Well I was wondering that since you live here now and you sleep in the same bed as mommy," Emily felt her cheeks blush, "does that mean you are my mommy too?" Emily stared back in shock.

"Um… well… I don't…. I mean I'm not sure… um… do you want me to be your mommy too?" Emily finally managed to spit out.

"Yeah that would super cool. All my friends only have one mommy but I would have two!" Henry explained rather excitedly and Emily felt the tears pulling in her eyes.

"Sweetie I would love for you to call me mommy. I can't of anything that would make me happier." Emily smiled down at Henry.

"Cool." Henry beamed back. "Good night mommy. I love you" Henry sat up and gave Emily a kiss on the cheek and then snuggled back down into his bed and quickly closed his eyes. Emily still in a state of shock turned off the light and some how managed to make her way back to the living room before bursting into tears.

Twenty minutes later JJ walked into the house to find Emily sitting on the couch, still crying.

"Sweetie I'm…oh my god, what's wrong? Is Henry okay?" JJ panicked as she rushed into the living room. She kneeled in front of Emily who appeared to be in a state of shock. "Sweetie talk to me? What's wrong?"

"He called me mommy." Emily whispered.

"I couldn't hear you sweetie, you need to speak up."

"He called me mommy. Henry called me mommy." JJ just stared at Emily for a few seconds before she slapped her on the arm and stood up.

"Jesus woman you scared the crap out of me!" JJ said trying not to bust out laughing. "I mean I come home to find my girlfriend in tears on the couch, good lord woman you almost gave me a heart attack." JJ continued, this time not able to stop the laugh that came out.

"It's not funny." Emily replied as she wiped away the tears. "I have never been called mommy before and it… it just…"

"Felt right?" Emily nodded. "I'm sorry I don't me to laugh because I had a similar reaction when he first said mommy too." JJ smiled pulled Emily up and into her arms. "But you gotta admit its pretty funny?"

"Oh yeah." Emily smirked.

"A big bad FBI agent brought to tears by her five year old son." JJ smiled.

"Do you mean that?" Emily asked staring back at JJ.

"Of course I mean it. He is just as much yours as he is mine. I know he loves you the same and clearly he sees you as his mother or he wouldn't have called you mommy."

"I swear Jennifer I don't know what I did to deserve you."

"You're just lucky I guess." JJ teased before pulling Emily to a deep, passionate kiss.

"Can I come in?" Henry asked pulling Emily from her day dream.

"Sure buddy." Emily smiled as Henry came through the door dressed in his little black suit. He looked so grown up. In fact he was. He had grown up so much in the last year that Emily could hardly believe it.

"You look beautiful mommy." Henry smiled as he looked at the woman he loved as much as he loved JJ. Emily stood before him in a simple white strapless dress. She figured most people would assume she would be in a pant suit, she really wasn't the type to wear a dress; but for her wedding she figured she would give it a shot. Garcia had dragged her to a half a dozen dress shops one Saturday. Emily kept complaining that a dress was a dress and that she could just buy the first thing she picked out. However, by the end of the day she was so glad she had not taken her own advice and listened to Garcia because in the last shop they went too Emily found the perfect dress. It fit her well, it was simple but stunning and she knew JJ would love it.

"Why thank you Henry. You look pretty handsome yourself." Emily said as she walked over and sat down on the bed. Henry soon joined her.

"Aunty Pen said that once the ceremony was over I could take the tie off. I really don't like the stupid tie." Henry tugged at the tie as to get his point across.

"Yes, honey Aunty Pen is right. After the ceremony you can take the tie and jacket off." Emily laughed.

"Good." Henry smiled back. "Can I ask you something mommy?"

"Sure." Emily replied as she looked down at her son's suddenly very serious face. Her son, she loved how that sounded.

"You know how much I love you, right?"

"Of course sweetie." Emily replied back desperately trying to hold back her tears; knowing that Garcia would kill her if she ruined her makeup.

"Good. I love mommy too and I don't ever want mommy to be sad like she was when daddy was here. You won't make her sad will you?"

"Of course not sweetie." Emily replied, realizing that Henry was trying to have 'the talk' with her. Emily couldn't help but think that it was possibly the cutest thing she had ever seen. "I love your mommy very much. I promise that I won't do anything to make her or you sad, ok?" Henry nodded and Emily continued. "You and your mom mean the world to me. There is nothing that I wouldn't do to make you two happy, understand?"

"Ok mommy, I understand. I was just checking." Henry smiled. "I'm glad that you are mommy now too." Henry said as he leaned over and gave Emily a hug. Garcia could be pissed if she wanted but damn it Emily couldn't help it, the tears just wouldn't stay at bay.

Emily and Henry's Hallmark moment was interrupted by another light knock on the door followed by Morgan asking if it was okay to come in.

"Sure Morgan, come on in." Emily said as she stood up and looked at herself in the mirror. Wiping away the few tears that fell, she gave herself a quick look over. Not too bad, I think Garcia won't be too mad, Emily thought to herself as she tried to touch up her makeup a little.

"Wow Emily you look…" Morgan for once in his life was at a loss for words.

"Beautiful!" Henry finished for him.

"Couldn't have said it better myself buddy." Morgan laughed as he ruffled Henry's hair.

"I'm going to tell Aunty Pen." Henry replied as he tried to straighten his wild hair. He had been given strict instructions from Garcia to not get dirty and to not mess up his hair.

"There is an extra piece of cake in it if you don't." Morgan replied back with a smirk.

"Aunty Pen who?" Henry winked back at Morgan.

"Exactly kiddo."

"Are you bribing my son?" Emily asked with her hands on her hips.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Morgan said with his best shit eating grin. Emily simply rolled her eyes and kneeled down to straighten Henry's tie. "Garcia told me to come find you and tell you its time."

"Finally." Emily smiled as she stood back up; picking up her flowers that were laying on the bed. "So what do you say buddy ready for me to marry your mom?" Emily looked down at Henry.

"YEA!" Henry yelled before running down the steps.

"Well someone is excited." Morgan laughed.

"That makes two of us." Emily smiled back.

"Well than let's go get you hitched." Emily took Morgan's arm and the two of them made their way down the steps to the back garden.

Early on in their wedding preparations, Emily and JJ became fully aware that neither of their parents were going to be attending. So with that little fact in tow, Emily asked Morgan to walk her down the aisle and he had immediately agreed. JJ asked Hotch, who seemed shocked by the request but honored none the less. The only person that would be standing up there with Emily and JJ would be Henry. They wanted to make sure he was included in all parts of the ceremony. The day was more than JJ and Emily joining together as committed partners; it was about the three of them becoming a true family.

Emily looked at the back yard and was shocked by how beautiful it looked. Roses and Tulips of every color could be seen everywhere. It was quite the sight to behold. In the seats were all there closest friends and the rest of the team; their family. Morgan got the signal that the ceremony was about to begin so he bent down to remind Henry, one last time of what to do.

"Ok buddy, its time. You remember what to do right?" Morgan asked, once again straightening Henry's tie.

"Yep. I walk down to the end, slowly. Then I stop and stand in front of the preacher. When mommy comes down I go to stand beside her." Henry smiled back up at Morgan, proud of how he remembered.

"Exactly. Good job." Morgan gave him a high five, just as the music started. "Okay buddy that's your cue." Morgan turned Henry around and Henry began walking down the aisle. Once Henry was in place, directly in front of the preacher Morgan turned to Emily. "You ready?"

"More than you will ever know." Emily smiled back. The music changed to the wedding march and everyone stood up; then slowly Emily and Morgan made their way down the aisle. Once at the end of the aisle, Morgan leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on Emily's cheek and then she took her position next to the preacher. Emily took a deep breath and tried to calm the butterflies that were filling her stomach. The music changed slightly, offering a different version of the wedding march and then Emily caught sight of the most beautiful vision in the world. Emily's rich upbringing had afforded her the pleasure of traveling the world and seeing some of the most beautiful things it had to offer, but nothing could compare to what Emily was seeing at that moment. Slowly making her way down the aisle in a beautiful white dress, not at that dissimilar to her own, was the woman she loved with all her heart. JJ was simply radiant; there was no other word for it.

Hotch and JJ reached the end of the aisle and just as Morgan had done, Hotch gave JJ a quick kiss on the cheek.

"I'm very happy for you JJ. Both of you." Hotch whispered in JJ's ear as they hugged.

"Thank you." JJ choked out desperately trying to keep her emotions in check before they both turned to face the preacher and Emily.

"You may be seated." The preacher started. "Today we are here to join Emily Elizabeth Prentiss and Jennifer Ann Jereau in wedded bliss. If anyone has reason that these two women should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace." The back yard filled with silence.

"You are marrying two FBI agents in a back yard full of their FBI Agent friends, I'm pretty sure no one is going to object." Hotch told the preacher causing everyone to laugh.

"I guess you're right." The preacher replied back with a slight chuckle. "Ok, moving on. Who gives these women to be married today?"

"WE DO!" All five members of the team said as they stood up in unison causing Emily and JJ to laugh. Hotch gave JJ another kiss on the cheek, turned to Emily and gave her a quick kiss and then made his way to his seat next to Jack.

"You look stunning." Emily smiled as she took JJ's hands.

"I can say the same thing about you." JJ replied back with a blush.

The preacher began talking about love and commitment but all Emily could do was stare at JJ. She couldn't believe that this was all happening. She felt a single tear run down her cheek. JJ undid their clasped hands and gently wiped the tear way, looking at Emily in the eyes; letting her know she was there and she loved her. Emily wanted nothing more than to lean over and kiss her right then and there; but alas the ceremony had to continue. Emily was snapped out of day dream haze when she saw Morgan handing the preacher the rings.

"Emily I want you place this ring on Jennifer's left ring finger and repeat after me. I give you this ring as a sign of my love for you and with this ring I thee wed." Emily repeated the preacher's words as she had been told and slipped the ring onto JJ's fingers. A few seconds later JJ repeated the same process by repeating the words to Emily and sliding the ring on her finger.

"Okay Emily, do you promise to honor and to cherish Jennifer, to have and to hold in sickness and in health till death do you part?"

"And to make her happy!" Henry spoke up before Emily could answer, to which every one laughed. Emily looked down at Henry and smiled.

"And of course make her happy." The preacher replied back with a smile of his own.

"I do." Emily beamed.

"Now Jennifer do you promise to honor and to cherish Emily, to have and to hold in sickness and in health till death do you part? Oh and make her happy." The preacher added quickly as he glanced down at a still smiling Henry.

"I do." JJ smiled.

"Well then by the powers vested in by the Commonwealth of Virginia I now pronounce you wife and wife. Emily you may kiss your bride." Emily nodded to the preacher and then pulled JJ towards her. Emily kissed JJ with all she had to offer. In that moment Emily knew that live couldn't get any better than this.

"I have wanted to do that since I saw you walk down that aisle." Emily smiled as she reluctantly pulled away.

"Me too." JJ grinned back as they turned to face their family and friends.

"Ladies and Gentleman, allow me to introduce to you for the first time the Prentiss Family." Emily's turned her head back quickly to face JJ as her jaw dropped.

"Surprise!" JJ smirked. Emily was at a complete loss. She didn't know what to say, so she did what she did what she felt was in her heart and pulled JJ into another kiss.

Then together as a family they made their way down the aisle.

Once back inside the house, Emily turned back to JJ still slightly in shock.

"When? How?" Emily stuttered.

"Hotch helped me. I wanted it to be a surprise. I will still be Jereau at work but legally I'm now Jennifer Jereau Prentiss." Emily couldn't believe that JJ had done this for her. They had never really discussed their last names before and she just assumed that JJ would keep hers.

"And guess what mommy?" Henry interrupted, practically bouncing up and down.

"What?" Emily said kneeling down in front of him.

"I got a new name too."

"You did?" Emily asked back in shock.

"I'm now Henry William LaMontagne-Prentiss." Henry smiled back at his mother.

"Are you serious?" Emily said standing up and looking at JJ.

"Yes, I talked to Will and he was surprisingly okay with it. It was actually Henry's idea."

"It was?" Emily said kneeling in front of Henry again.

"Yep. Now we are one big HAPPY family." Henry smiled.

"That we are." Emily said as a tear ran down her cheek. She gave Henry a kiss and ruffled his hair. Then Emily stood up and pulled JJ close. "I love you so much. Thank you for doing that. You have no idea what that means to me." Emily pulled JJ into a passionate kiss. "I love you Mrs. Prentiss."

"I love the way that sounds." JJ chuckled. "I love you too Mrs. Prentiss." JJ said before pulling Emily into another kiss.

It had been a long journey for the two of them but in that moment it didn't matter. All that matter was they were a family and together they would be happy just like Henry wanted.
