Letting her friend cry into her shoulder, JJ thought carefully about what she was going to say.
"You know there is no guarantee you won't lose another baby if you get pregnant again, just as there is no guarantee you will lose another baby if you get pregnant again," the young mother told her.
"I know that, but I can't help feeling scared," Emily defended.
"You have every right to be scared. What the two of you went through is traumatic and scarey, but you can't let it control you. Spence and you will make awesome parents whenever it's meant to happen. All you have to do is relax and let it happen whenever it will. Part of that is not pushing your husband away, though," JJ chited gently.
"I know and I didn't mean to push him away. It's just that I'm not sure he'll understand where I'm coming from," the brunette argued.
"He won't understand how terrified you are to get pregnant again and have the chance to lose another baby before you get the chance to meet him or her?" the media liaison asked skeptically.
"Well, when you put it that way," Emily said breaking off but JJ knew what she meant.
"Talk to him, Em. You're a team, lean on him, lean on each other. This won't work if you keep pushing him away."
"Thanks for the advice. I'll talk to him when we get home," Emily replied.
"You're welcome, hey Em?" JJ questioned.
"Yeah?"
"Have you thought about talking to a professional about this? It might not be a bad idea."
"I have and I'm considering it. I'll talk to Spencer about that as well tonight," Emily said.
"Glad to hear it. Looks like we're almost ready to land. I can't wait to see Henry," JJ said smiling softly as she put her seat back in the upright position and made sure her seat belt was securely fastened.
"Anytime you and Will need a night out, Spencer and I would be happy to babysit him," Emily offered.
"Thanks, I might take you up on that soon. Next weekend is Will's birthday and I want to take him out."
"Just let us know," Emily replied smiling at the idea of getting to spend an evening with the sweet little boy.

"Hey, Spencer, can we talk?" Emily asked as she entered the living room where Spencer was reading on the couch. Marking his place in his book even though he'd remember exactly where he'd stopped Spencer looked up and gave his wife his full attention. He could tell this was important.
"Of course we can. What is it, sweetheart?" Deciding the direct approach was the best way, Emily spoke.
"The reason I pushed you away the last time you want to have sex is because I'm afraid of getting pregnant again. Actually I'm afraid of getting pregnant and losing another baby. I know it's not a rational fear, but I can't help it." She'd said this all in one breath and when she finished she was out of breath.
"First of all, sit down and take a deep breath," Spencer instructed. Nodding Emily settled next to him on the couch. Reaching out, Spencer clasped their fingers together. "Second of all, your fear is rational. I have the same fear, but what you have to ask yourself is, do you want to try for another baby or do you want to live in fear forever with the chance of never having a baby?" he questioned. "I know I don't," he admitted softly.
"I want a baby more than anything else. I talked to JJ about this and she also suggested I talk to a professional about this. I'm not sure what I think about the idea. What do you think?" she wondered.
"Do you want to talk to a professional about this?" he asked placing the ball in her court.
"Right now, no. I feel better just talking to you about it. Honestly this is helping ease my fears." As she was speaking she leant in. "I love you, Spencer," she said before kissing him soundly.

The kisses quickly grew passionate andfore they knew what they were doing, Spencer had removed her shirt and was feverishly unhooking her bra. Realizing where this was heading, he stopped and pulled back. Emily whimpered in protest and pushed against him trying to urge him on.
"Are you sure this is what you want?" he checked.
"Yes I am. Make love to me, Spencer. I need to fell you all around me," she begged.
"Your wish is my commnd," he breathed against her skin before removing the rest of their clothes and granting her request. He knew they were going to be alright in the end.
