"No come on!" Sam yelled at the large television watching the Redskins play.
Annie chuckled, herself wearing a Redskins scarf and tshirt though obviously just to keep her husband and children happy, as she carried a tray of drinks in from the kitchen. She moved over to the couch where Lucy and Emily sat watching their partners from a distance. "Jenny dropped the idea of your daughter being a lucky charm?" she chuckled.
"Now they are losing yes," Emily chuckled squirming a little on the couch as she rubbed circles over her belly.
"Still kicking up a storm?" Annie asked over the television as she handed Harry, Sam and JJ a cold beer.
"Hales used to do that after sex too," Sam stated not taking his eyes off the game, "Didn't like those womb walls pulsing."
JJ smacked him on the arm, "Sam!"
"What?!" he exclaimed back with a smirk turning as the commercials came on, "I'm not surprised my baby niece is protesting...It's like a foetus earthquake. Her little home shaking with the seismic waves; the size depending on the Richter scale, slight squashing, prodding, aftershocks...Praying it's not an earthquake swarm..."
"You always have a glow afterwards dear," Nanna Pat stated from her chair, a Redskins hat stuck on her head at a strange angle, "You're just like your Mother as a teenager. Never subtle...You've just never had someone stay over before."
The blonde opened and closed her mouth glancing over at Emily who was looking at the floor with bright red cheeks. "I have sex...It's natural and healthy and I'm not ashamed!"
"Sing it!" Sam exclaimed with a fist pump in the air receiving a cushion to the back of the head from Lucy.
"Sex," Hayley grinned playing with some Barbies on the floor.
"Oops," JJ winced at Lucy apologetically.
"Teaching your daughter nice new words in this family is impossible," Lucy sighed at Emily, "Buy Sprout some earmuffs."
Emily chuckled, "That's nothing. You should have seen her with our bosses' son Jack. I'm not sure who was more scarred Jennifer or Jack."
"Me!" JJ exclaimed with a shiver, "All those pe-," she glanced at Hayley, "Snakes, I don't know how anyone does it."
"Absolute torture," Lucy teased winking at her husband.
"Us women take one for the team," Annie added with a dramatic sigh before smirking.
"Love a bit of cock!" Nanna Pat grinned from her magazine.
"Cock," Hayley repeated.
"Nanna!" Sam exclaimed internally wanting to die.
Lucy raised her hands in the air defeated, "I give up."
Annie cringed used to her Mom's behaviour. Now she was old, her husband gone, she was in the 'just say it how it is' stage. Life was too short not to apparently. She knew she did it purely to shock and amuse herself. "Well darling," she stroked through JJ's blonde hair, "Your gorgeous wife is giving you a baby from the special equipment so I wouldn't complain too much. You're lucky it's a girl on your first go. Next could be a boy."
Emily looked up surprised by Annie's words. She hadn't said anything about the wife calling or JJ's baby thing but now they were talking about more babies. For starters the doctors said it was unlikely, and even if she could it would be dangerous if not more so than now. Then there was the fact that before they got into the house they had no definition on their relationship nor JJ's relationship to Sprout. Emily was still trying to make sure JJ was fully invested, especially considering the complications, that she would probably be a premie or worse. Before she could even clear her head or comment, Lucy's hand rubbing her stomach distracted her.
"She really is kicking up a fuss isn't she?" the brunette chuckled, "Maybe JJ's taught her some martial arts?"
Emily couldn't help but smile, "Some ninja moves," she chuckled thinking back to the stories of JJ beating up Mick.
"Damn straight," the liaison turned and grinned, "When Em's asleep I have a little chat and do some coaching...Wait!" JJ exclaimed standing up off the couch quickly, looking shocked, "You can feel her?!"
"Well yeah," Lucy nodded, "I...Oh my God..." the realisation sunk in.
The restarting of the Redskins game forgotten as the blonde nearly tripped over her own feet hurrying over to Emily on the couch, practically falling onto her knees in front of her and throwing her hands onto her baby bump. "Is she moving? Is she still moving?" she breathed out desperately.
The profiler rubbed her stomach where JJ's hand was, "I'm sorry baby I think she's tired herself out."
JJ looked tearfully up at her with a nod before moving forward to rest her head on her belly, "I love you Sprout," she whispered, trying to remember that she would feel it soon, "Sleep well baby." She kissed her bump gently before just resting her head there as Emily stroked through her hair. It was obvious she was struggling with that disappointment.
Harry smiled as she took a photo of the couple. Her whole family amazed that the Redskins game was totally forgotten in the blonde's eyes. Something no one saw possible.
"Our baby's growing up," Annie whispered to her husband watching her daughter with her new family.
Emily let out a breath as she sat up in JJ's old bed and glanced at the clock, 3.30am. After the game they had sat in the living room chatting, playing games, having an amazing dinner. It was a lovely family environment, something Emily had never really experienced. She sighed rubbing her stomach. Every night she would get woken up by Sprout deciding to have a party; a pregnancy downside. She would stay up for a couple of hours before going back to sleep, usually it starting again when her daughter was hungry. She opened her eyes after a long while feeling a kiss to her cheek, "Go back to sleep."
JJ shook her head, moving herself up to hold Emily in her arms, "Do we need to go to the hospital?" she breathed out trying to stay calm, "Or should I get my Mom..."
The brunette shook her head, "She's just kicking."
The blonde nodded peppering her face with kisses as she put her hand on Emily's belly and took over the rubbing, "Calm down little one," she bent down and kissed her stomach, "Mommy is trying to sleep so you need to as well."
Suddenly she felt a tiny kick to her hand and her mouth fell open, "Oh...I-I...I felt that!" she grinned excitedly starting to move her hand again. Before long she felt the same thing again and again. She looked up at Emily her eyes sparkling with happy tears, "It's amazing! God I...Eventually she will be in my arms in her little onesie flinging her limbs around like she is now, but in my arms Emily, we will actually get to meet her," she rambled shaking her head in amazement. "I actually have a daughter," she whispered in awe. She leaned forward and kissed the profiler heatedly on the lips, "You're carrying our daughter...I love you," she whispered after a long pause.
Emily looked at JJ tearfully, "You do?"
The blonde nodded, "I do, I love you...Both of you." She reached forward and stroked away the tear that ran down the profiler's cheek with her thumb.
"I love you too," the brunette smiled out tearfully, "You really want her as your daughter because if you ever..." she was halted by a pair of lips on her own.
JJ pulled back and rested her head against Emily's forehead, "I know you have reason to doubt me. I know I never wanted a family and we've been on such a journey...But both of you are my world. When I see you enter a room I light up and then I look down at your bump...," she shook her head struggling to find the words. "I want you as my family, both of you. Hell," she chuckled, "My family already think you are."
There was a comfortable silence, "Technically I'm your wife," the brunette whispered feeling her sleep catch up with her finally, drifting off now Sprout had.
"You're my wife," JJ kissed her head whispering thoughtfully to herself.
