Emily, JJ and Hotch conned Spencer and Morgan into babysitting the kids while they did their Christmas shopping. It was December 21st. Emily spent her days with both kids and needed the break, even if it was to a crowded mall. The group walked into the toy store. Hotch immediately looked at the Marvel Superhero action figure set. The set was a base set and you could buy other add-ons. Emily and JJ laughed as the man grabbed every available add-on. The couple wandered to the section they thought would house something for Eloise.
"What about this?" JJ asked holding up a baby doll set.
"Can we just buy the whole store?" Emily whined.
"No. You know the limits. They each get the same number of gifts, and the same total price." JJ scolded.
"So, I'll buy them each a store?
"No."
"Ugh, okay. Let's get Ellie the doll, a cluster of stuffed animals, a tricycle, a learning tablet, books, and her big gift can be a dollhouse." Emily spit balled, she hoped JJ didn't think it would be too much.
"Okay, and your ideas for Henry?"
"The new batman Lego set, the dinosaur costume and stuffed animal set, a bike, a learning tablet for him also, books, and we can get him one of those child sized ATV's for his big gift."
JJ thought it over, it sounded like a lot, but if she didn't concede to this, she knew Emily would whine about it. "Fine, but they each get new clothes and shoes too."
"Deal." Emily smiled brightly and JJ shook her head.
By the time they were done, JJ was pushing an overflowing cart while Emily tried to carry the bike and ATV. The tricycle was small enough to be perched on the top of all the other toys. Hotch saw them after they paid and raised an eyebrow.
"Don't look at me like that." Emily huffed and set the items down to throw Hotch her keys, "Can you go bring the car around?"
Hotch laughed but left anyway. Soon Emily was trying to finish shoving the rest of the items into the car. When they pulled into the driveway, they went inside to see if the kids were all asleep yet. With no noise radiating through the house, the three wandered around looking for Derek and Spencer. They found them in the living room, both asleep in a sitting position and they both, curiously, had wet spots on their shirt.
Emily shook Derek awake while JJ woke up Spencer. When they were both awake, Emily noticed the glare Morgan wore. "What happened to you guys?"
Spencer looked at her, "Bath time."
Everyone laughed, barring Spencer and Derek.
"Full time mommy doesn't seem so easy, now does it?" Emily mocked an already pissed off Morgan. "Now, come help us bring everything to the basement."
As Derek helped the women, Spencer help Hotch move Jack's presents to his car. Hotch was carrying a sleeping boy out when Emily said goodbye. "We'll see you at Christmas!" After the Hotchner's were gone, the couple said goodbye to Derek and Spencer.
Emily and JJ fell into bed quickly. Sleep hitting them easily.
Christmas morning had arrived, Emily knew that because it was 5:00 a.m. and JJ was waking Emily.
"Jennifer, I swear to god. We told the kids they weren't allowed to wake us up until seven. You are not exempt from that rule." Emily grumbled and turned away from her wife.
JJ pushed Emily's hair away and planted kisses down her neck. "I'm sorry. I'm just excited." She husked into Emily's ear, sending a shiver down the brunette's spine.
Emily turned into her wife's touch. When they were face to face, Emily pulled the blond into a heated kiss. JJ turned them over to straddle Emily. JJ kissed down her wife's neck, nibbling when she hit Emily's weak spot on her neck. The older woman moaned and arched into her wife. JJ took this opportunity to lift Emily's shirt over her head. She placed hot kisses around Emily's chest, teasing her way to perked nipples. When her mouth finally wrapped around a dusty bud, Emily's breath hitched in her throat before resolving into a moan. JJ let her hands travel down the brunette's squirming body until she was playing with the waist band of Emily's underwear. Emily rolled her hips.
"Please, Jen." She said breathily. "I need you."
JJ latched on to Emily's neck before moving her panties to the side and slowly dragging her fingers through wet folds. Emily bucked into the touch and grabbed onto the blond for support. JJ gathered some of the wetness and brought it up to her wife's swollen bud. She circled around it, using a light pressure. JJ knew it would bring Emily almost there but would drive her crazy because it's not enough.
"Jen-Jennifer. Please. I need more." Emily was writhing beneath the blond.
"Emily. Tell me how you want it." The husk in JJ's voice sent another wave of anticipation through the brunette.
"I, I want you inside-" Emily's breath caught as JJ wasted no time in pushing two fingers into her.
"What else?"
"My clit." JJ used her thumb to rub steadily at the bundle of nerves. Emily arched her back, a high pitch moan escaping. "Don't stop! Just like that."
JJ curled her fingers as she picked up her pace. Soon, Emily was cumming. Her legs twitched and she dug her nails into the blonde's back. She moaned out as JJ eased her through it with gentle touches.
When she recovered, Emily quickly shifted her weight and turned them around. On top, Emily pulled JJ to the edge of the bed and squatted between her long legs. When Emily quickly ripped off JJ's shorts and underwear, it was the younger woman's turn to moan. Unlike her, who could tease until the day ended, Emily wasted no time. She greedily explored every part of JJ's center. She wrapped her mouth around her wife's bud. She sucked lightly. When JJ arched off the bed and her hand tangled in brown hair, pulling lightly, Emily knew her wife wouldn't last long. Emily smiled with pride against her wife's hot, wet entrance. She brought one hand up and toyed with the outside of her entrance, never entering fully. JJ mewled. Every time Emily put her fingers in, JJ would try to use her inner muscles to pull her deeper. Emily teased her hole, her mouth never leaving its post. All at once, Emily slammed three fingers into her wife. She set a fast, unrelenting pace.
"OH, GOD!" JJ cried loudly, "Em, fuck. Don't stop. Fuck, fuck, don't stop." JJ was falling quickly. Emily was there to catch her. JJ twitched as she came down from her high. Emily crawled up the blonde's body, peppering kisses along the way.
When their mouths connected JJ moaned at the taste of herself. Emily pulled away and smiled as the first sign of day crept through the windows. "Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas." JJ smiled back.
"Well since we're up, I'm gonna shower and get coffee going." Emily smiled.
"I'll join you."
JJ and Emily were snuggled on the couch, waiting impatiently for any signs of stirring children. Will came down from the guest room. He had arrived late the night before. he got there just in time to see Henry off to bed. He got his own cup of coffee and sat with the women in the living room. They heard the door click to Henry's room, then another door open. Bathroom. Then another door, Ellie's room. Before they knew it, two loud and excited kids were running down the stairs.
"Merry Christmas!" All the adults hollered as the kids bounded into the living room.
"Okay Henry, can you show Ellie how to pass out the presents?" Emily asked.
When all the gift were distributed, Emily watched as the kids tore into them. They took pictures as much as they could. Will got Henry a bunch of new toys, most were monster truck or dinosaur themed. He even got a couple doll sets for Ellie. When everything was opened in the living room, they led the kids to the kitchen where they saw their bikes. The screaming nearly deafened Emily, but she wouldn't have it any other way. They moved them to their last room, the one with the biggest gifts. The kids rounded into the playroom and Henry immediately leapt onto his ATV, while Ellie carefully studied each room to the giant dollhouse, a smile never leaving her face.
"Mommy! Look! I ride!" Henry called, the ATV suddenly jerking forward and crashing into the couch.
JJ rushed forward, "Woah dude! That can only be ridden outside." Henry looked sad for a moment, but it passed quickly.
The family spent their morning eating breakfast and unboxing toys. Will took Henry outside to ride his ATV. Emily looked out the window and laughed. Will was chasing Henry down the driveway, as he chased the dogs.
Edward and Elizabeth Prentiss were the first to show up, two hours before the party, also with gift in hand. Henry got a racetrack, and Ellie got a veterinarian play set.
JJ and Emily got the kids ready. Henry wore a red and gold plaid shirt and black jeans with tan boots. Emily wrestled Ellie into a gold dress with sparkling red trim, white fleece tights, and gold dress flats. Emily passed off the girl to JJ for her hair to get done. When JJ came back out carrying Eloise, the toddler had a frown, but her hair was beautiful. She had a waterfall braid on one side of her head that ended with a bow to match her outfit.
Elizabeth fawned over the kids, as she usually did when she was around. The party was flowing easily. Tara was the last to arrive.
"You guys were not joking! This is some house!" Tara said as she handed a bottle of wine to JJ and Emily.
JJ winked, "It's alright, I guess. We're so glad you could make it!"
Tara returned the hug JJ pulled her into, "Thank you for inviting me!"
The blond led the new member to the downstairs living area of the house. JJ laughed as she saw Emily, who had been drinking most of the day, wobbling as she tried to make her way through the VR world of their new toy. Everyone else sat around laughing. JJ joined in watching, something in the game jumped into the brunette's view and she screamed and fell back, onto Tara. JJ was almost crying as Emily ripped the headset off and she drunkenly tried to scramble off a stunned Tara. Derek and Hotch tried to help them up. Emily was wobbling on her feet, but she was laughing with the rest of the group.
JJ stood and helped support Emily, "Okay, I need to put her to bed." JJ smiled at her drunk wife. The blond helped her up the stairs and into their room. Emily kept trying to steal kisses as JJ helped her into pajamas and into bed. JJ kissed her wife forehead, "I love you."
"Mmmm, love you." Emily slurred back. She fell asleep right after. JJ chuckled and left the room. She peeked into Ellie's room, the girl had rolled around so much in her sleep, that her covers were kicked off her. JJ gently covered her again and kissed her forehead. She went to Henry's room, both he and Jack were asleep. JJ knew that most of their guests would be drinking, so she set up a cot in Henry's room for Jack to sleep on so that other rooms were clear for others. Rossi intended to catch a ride home with a cab, Reid could take the room Jack usually used, Will still had the upstairs bedroom, there were two more bedrooms downstairs available. That meant either Derek or Penelope, Hotch, and Tara would have to fight for a room. Or, the couches they owned were comfortable.
JJ said goodnight to the guests before heading back to her room for bed. At eight the next morning, their doorbell rang shrilly and repeatedly. Emily groaned and tried to cover her ears with her pillow.
"Whoever it is, shut them up or I'll shoot them." The older woman moaned, her hangover hitting her hard.
JJ threw the blanket back, not as effected by last night, "I'll get it."
JJ prodded down the stairs while the bell still rang. She threw the door open angrily, "WHAT?!" She snapped at a smiling Rossi. He laughed, JJ irritation was still bubbling, "I don't know why you're laughing. If you wake up those kids while Em feels like she does, you'll be taking all three for the day."
Dave's smile faded for a minute, "I brought breakfast." He said hesitantly.
JJ noticed the takeout bags and at least three boxes of doughnuts. She smiled and stepped aside, "You're forgiven."
Rossi followed JJ into the kitchen. She got a pot of coffee going and picked through the food. Most of it was doughnuts, but there was also bacon and scrambled eggs. JJ ate and chatted with Rossi. Unsurprisingly, the next people awake were three, loud, kids. After they were up, more of the guests filtered into the kitchen and dining room. They talked, they laughed, they had family time. Tara filled JJ in that Morgan slept on the downstairs couch while she and Pen shared one room, leaving Hotch the other. Emily was the last to come down. Her hair was all over, and she wore a frown. She spoke no words before she got aspirin and coffee. She sat down and picked at her breakfast. She sat silently and watched the interactions around her a she waited for the pounding in her head, and the ominous gurgling in her stomach to go away. Ellie came bounding around a corner and greeted her.
"Hi Momma!" Emily flinched at the volume, "Can we see horses today?"
Emily ran a hand down blond locks, "Sure baby, Uncle Derek will take you."
Derek put his coffee down, "Excuse me Princess?" He started but was cut off by a happy toddler pouncing around him. Emily smirked at him before winking.
That week was full of excitement. JJ and Emily started the process of adopting Eloise. Emily got word that Ellie's application to the best private preschool in Virginia had been approved, though Emily was sure it had something to do with her parents. Emily and JJ had managed to get Em's parents to watch the kids for New Year's. Eloise's fourth birthday was coming up in March. Life was going well for the family. Life was good. Emily was trying to plan out her summer. Henry would spend most of it with Will in New Orleans. If they got Ellie's adoption done quickly, Emily planned to take her on as many trips as possible. So far, she had to meet with Merchants and Small companies in France, Spain, Italy, and Japan. She was exploring new revenues for the company. But today, today was just a calm day with the family. JJ and Emily were cuddled in the playroom, a cartoon playing on the TV while the kids played with their toys.
JJ phone rang from the coffee table. JJ answered it quickly, "Jareau." She clipped before listening intently. "Yes, sir. I'll be in as soon as I can."
Emily sighed, "What do you got?"
"Local case. Parents in Virginia are being killed in front of their children. I've got to go. I love you." Emily and JJ shared a long kiss. JJ got up and said goodbye to the kids before she went upstairs to get ready.
Soon, JJ was gone. Emily did as she always did when her wife left for a case: she hoped and prayed that Jennifer would be okay.
