A/N: Sorry I haven't been updating, a lot has been going on and haven't had time.
After the New Years everybody in the house made their new years resolutions. Charlie agreed to kick more ass and have more sauce nights, Johnny wants to spend more time with his family at Graceland and not make so many jokes, Jakes agreed to be Jakes and keep to himself.. still, Paige wants to love more, she loves Mike and she wants him to know, Briggs doesn't make resolutions, Mike wants to spend more time with Emily and slow down a little on the job, which nobody was happy about and finally Emily wants to do better in school and love everyone.
It is now Easter and the house are getting ready for their little Easter gathering. Every year the Bureau throws an Easter party for all the FBI agents in the city. This will be the first Bureau party Emily has been to and she is very excited. Even though Paige and Jakes are not FBI they are invited along anyway.
'COME ON EVERYBODY, WE HAVE TO GO'. Charlie shouted from the bottom of the stairs. Charlie is always the first one to get dressed in the house. She's dressed in a short red dress and bunny ears on her head. After 5 minutes of shouting and getting impatient everyone rushed down the stairs together. Mike carried Emily down the stairs because she was tired and upset.
'Hey Emily, what's the matter baby?' Charlie stroked Emily's cheek waiting for a response.
'She's tired and doesn't want to go.' Mike rocked Emily in his arms hoping it would cheer her up.
'Why not, you were excited about it earlier and when we told you about it you couldn't stop running around the living room excited.' Briggs patted the little girl on the head and walked out the door. Everybody headed out the door and entered their cars. Mike drove Paige, Johnny and Emily to the Bureau; Mike knew Johnny and Paige would be the most drunk by the end of the night.
By the time Mike pulled up at the Bureau Emily was fast asleep on Paige's lap.
The Bureau was well decorated for the event. Colourful with Easter Eggs and balloons as centre pieces.
Mike carried Emily into the room and immediately sat down at a table. He noticed colouring pages on the table for the kids at the party.
'Emily wake up baby.' Emily opened her eyes and groaned into Mike's shoulder. Emily turned around in his lap and looked around the room, she smiled at the other kids in the room. She looked down and noticed Easter colouring pages and started the activities. Mike sat there and listened to the music being played in the background; he was happy to here his favouring band.
An hour had passed and Mike was still sitting at the table with Emily. He was bored, very bored but he knew he couldn't leave Emily by herself.
'Mike you still sitting here? Have you even had a drink?' Briggs seemed a little tipsy. It's only been an hour so he wouldn't be drunk yet. Mike wasn't drinking; he's on driver duty along with Charlie.
'Go and have some fun Mike, I'll sit here with Emily'. Mike kissed Emily and joined the party.
'Hey kiddo, what ya doing?' Emily looked up from her paper and realised Mike was gone but relaxed when she noticed it was Briggs talking to her and not a complete stranger. She smiled at him and showed him her picture she was colouring.
'That's good, but don't you wanna dance or something?' Emily shook her head. She seems to be on mute and not talking to anyone.
Back to the house at 11pm. Everyone is exhausted. Mike carried in a sleeping Emily and took her upstairs.
'That was a good party.' Johnny threw himself down on the couch; Jakes and Paige following him. Charlie and Briggs went straight up to bed. On her way up Charlie saw Mike struggling to get Emily dressed so she offered to help. Together they managed to get Emily dressed without waking her up and under the covers.
'Thanks Charlie. I don't understand why she didn't seem happy about going to this party.' Mike sat down on the bed and kissed Emily goodnight. He walked out the room quietly with Charlie.
'Maybe she's growing out of them?'
'She's only 6, she should love going to parties at her age.'
'Maybe she just didn't want to go to the Bureau.' Mike looked at Charlie a little confused.
'She's been to the Bureau before and she seemed fine.'
'Yes but the last time she was at the Bureau was when her mum died and she was bought here. Maybe it reminds her of her mum.' Mike stopped on the stairs and looked at Charlie for a moment before realising what the kid actually went through before she got to Graceland.
