JJ only had to wait about an hour for an 'Emily is distracted' text, and when she got it, she promptly packed all of her things up, along with a few more items that she'd been keeping hidden in her office, and left the building altogether.

Once she got to hers and Emily's place, she put away her shoes and things before taking everything else upstairs, glad she had full use of both arms now. She was determined to give Emily a Valentine's Day to remember.


"JJ?"

Emily called her girlfriend's name as she entered the townhouse a quarter of an hour later, laden down with her shopping bags.

"Where are you?"

"Up here, my love!" JJ called back.

Quite curious, Emily put her coat and things away before she regathered her bags and brought them upstairs. When she got to the bedroom, however, her heart skipped a beat at the sight before her. She even dropped her bags.

Due to a softly lit lamp and an array of candles, their bedroom was cast in a warm glow and starting from where Emily was standing, there was a trail of pink and red rose petals leading from the doorway to the bed. Atop the bed in the center was JJ. She was in an upright position, dressed in a scant but very alluring purple negligee, and Emily couldn't help it because her mouth dropped open at the sight of her; the more she took in how transparent the garment was (except for her naughty bits) and how JJ's makeup and hair were done to give her the 'bedroom eyes look,' the more Emily felt like her brain was going to melt. JJ's garment even showed off all of her assets, leaving very little to the imagination. And Emily had a very good idea of what JJ looked like without any clothes on.

There was absolutely no question about what she was initiating.

"JJ, wow!" Emily said when she finally remembered how to talk. "You look amazing!"

"Thank you." she said and then crooked a finger to her in a 'come hither' fashion. "Please come here, Emily. I want to undress you."

JJ had a very magnetic gaze, as well a hold on Emily's heart, so she was immediately game and obeyed her.

"So this is why you stayed behind?" Emily asked as she sat next to her.

"Mhm."

JJ pulled Emily's shirt off and kissed her way down her throat and across her shoulders, although purposefully stopping just above her ample cleavage.

"Did I do well, pulling the wool over your eyes?"

"Uh-huh." Emily was already getting lost in the moment because her heartbeat had escalated because of her racing hormones; even the baby was already reacting to it. "You did excellently, and I can't wait to see what you're going to do next."

Thrilled to heart that, JJ said, "Please lay back now."

Emily obeyed again and found herself laying flat on her back as JJ kissed her body more, even taking her time on her belly, promising the baby that she would it and the twins a lot of attention in due time. (Now that the babies were big enough to hear their mothers, JJ and Emily took every chance they could to talk to them) When JJ finished there, she eased Emily out of her skirt and stockings.

"You're enjoying yourself, aren't you?" Emily asked, arching her back at JJ's gentle touches after she tossed her skirt and stockings aside.

"I am." JJ told her as she rubbed Emily's waistline and thighs in a massage as they aired out from being confined in clothes all day. "Emily, I love you with all of my heart and I want to be your wife one day. Tonight is all about repaying every last bit of love and tenderness you've shown me in the past eight weeks. I am finally ready to give myself to you. Are you ready?"

"Yes." Emily nodded, her eyes filling with tears of love. "I love you, and I'm so proud of you."

JJ's heart went light and she smiled lovingly at Emily, wiping her tears with her thumbs. "Don't cry, my love, don't cry. I've got you."

Immediately at peace, Emily willed herself to relax as she suddenly realized that she'd never felt more loved by JJ.

Before long, JJ had Emily out of her underpants and bra, positively quivering in anticipation after she'd covered her in kisses and hit all of her sweet spots. JJ had done just enough to send Emily's pulse completely skyrocketing, but not completely over the edge just yet.

"JJ," Emily pouted as she did her best to recover. "I think that something is missing from this equation."

JJ straddled her, smiling slyly when Emily gasped upon the realization that JJ wasn't wearing any underwear.

"Something like what?" JJ purred.

"I'm naked, and you're not."

"That can be rectified."

Emily watched as JJ rid herself of the negligee and sat before her in all of her glory.

"Is that better?"

Emily nodded. "Much."

"Fantastic."

JJ grinned and lowered herself so that their bodies were touching as much as they could and the long tendrils of her blond hair fell to her shoulders.

"This is round one." JJ whispered. "You ready?"

Emily gave a nod. "Go."

And so JJ went, taking her time and exploring every bit of Emily's body as never before.

All that filled the room were the sighs, moans, and eventual shouts of Emily's approval.


"I love you." JJ whispered to Emily as she dismounted and cuddled with her for a few minutes. "I love you so much."

"And I love you forever." Emily whispered back, holding her and pressing a kiss to her forehead.

JJ beamed.

The woman beside her was her soulmate, and she had just shown her love in the most romantic, yet intimate way possible and Emily had loved all of it. She didn't know how the night could get any better.

But she found out soon enough.

"JJ," Emily said after they'd finished round two, which she had initiated. "I want to ask you something."

Sated and resting comfortably in her beloved's arms, JJ let out a happy sigh. "What is it?"

"When we're finally settled in our house and Baby Bear, Kitty, and Ladybug have been born, will you marry me? This isn't a proposal, but it is me telling you that I want to be your wife as much as you want to be mine. I promise I'll ask you properly, but only if you want it."

JJ disentangled herself from Emily's arms and straddled her again.

"Yes." she held Emily's face in her hands and kissed her soundly. "Yes, Emilia, I do want to marry you, and I do want you to ask me properly when the time is right."

Emily sat up and hugged JJ, too overwhelmed with love and joy to say anything just yet.

The couple stayed together like that, enjoying the quiet, when suddenly...

"Oh!"

Emily jumped slightly at JJ's exclamation. "What? What is it?"

"I can feel kicks!"

Emily's heart turned over and she immediately put her hands to JJ's middle, her face breaking into a delighted grin as she felt a flurry of tiny kicks and nudges.

"Is that both of them?" she asked, hardly daring to believe it.

"Mhm." JJ confirmed, her own grin just as wide. "I guess they were spurred on by what we were doing. What about Baby Bear?"

Emily held one of her hands to her own baby bump and gave a few methodical prods, experimenting before she felt a familiar sensation and burst into joyous tears.

"Baby Bear didn't want to be left out; feel!"

She held JJ's hands over the spot where the baby was the most active and looked at her love in complete adoration.

"Those are kicks, too! Can you feel them?"

"Yes," JJ modded, taking in the joy of the moment and wondering how she could still speak. "And Emilia?"

She looked at her girlfriend, waiting for her to meet her gaze.

"Yes, Jennifer?" Emily queried when she finally looked at her.

"Happy Valentine's Day."
