It was date night in the Prentiss-Jareau household. They tried to do it every other Saturday night, but that of course almost never worked out as they were always away on cases. However, they had this evening off, and Emily was cooking a fancy dinner for the two of them. JJ had lit the candles and turned the radio to soft jazz creating a soothing and romantic atmosphere.

"Dinner is served my love," Emily called to Jennifer who was relaxing on the couch with a glass of wine, standing to her feet the blonde headed into the kitchen where a lovely looking meal sat on the table with a fresh glass of wine. JJ was dressed in a dark suit, her shirt buttoned loosely underneath it, she looked absolutely stunning to the brunette as did Emily to the blonde, as the dark-haired agent was dressed in a tight red dress that seemed to shimmer when she moved, both women had slippers on however, adding a bit of domesticity to their romantic night,

"Meal looks incredible babe," JJ said placing a delicate kiss to the brunette's cheek, watching as a blush took over the pale face,

"Your adorable baby," JJ spoke again before taking a seat at the table.

The two dug into their meal pretty quickly, content to sit in a relaxed silence with the sounds of soft jazz filling their ears. They were about halfway through the meal when Emily blurted out,

"You look hot," before another blush came up on her cheeks,

"Thanks babe," JJ said stifling a laugh, "You look hot too," she continued with a grin. Emily smiled back and the two continued their meals this time with a bit of light conversation, the two at peace with spending time with their favourite person.

When they ha d finished they moved onto dessert, Emily went out to collect it, quickly chopping some fruit to top it off, not really paying attention the brunette sliced her finger, it wasn't too bad, her finger was very much still intact, but it was bleeding quite badly, hurrying to get dessert out for the blonde, the brunette threw out the ruined fruit, that was covered in blood and then stuck on a plaster before placing the salvaged fruit on top. When she returned back to where JJ was, she placed the desert down and gave the over woman a smile. JJ immediate noted the paler than normal face, and the plaster on her finger.

"Are you alright babe," JJ asked nodding to her injured finger,

"Hmm," the brunette hummed in response, "just nicked it with the knife is all,

"Oh baby," JJ whispered softly, reaching out to grab the injured hand placed a gentle kiss on the plaster. This small action, stirred something in Emily and she began to feel small, trying to ignore it, Emily smiled a bit wider at JJ this time and sat down and ate her dessert in silence, it was not an uncomfortable silence, but it did give the brunette time to stir in her own thoughts, she began to stress about feeling smaller on one of their rare date nights, trying to squash it down the two finished their dessert and JJ moved to clear the dishes, handing Emily another glass of wine as she went to do so. The brunette hoped that the wine would make her feel a little more grown up, unfortunately it didn't have the desired effect and instead made the brunette feel even smaller, like she shouldn't be drinking the wine, still she knocked it back and waited for JJ to return. Date night usually ended with the two of them naked in bed together, but Emily knew she was in no space to do that tonight. The problem was she didn't know how to tell JJ how she was feeling, she didn't want to ruin their romantic night together.

She shouldn't have worried. When JJ returned and sat on the couch next to the brunette, she immediately recognised the signs of her girlfriend feeling smaller. She opened her arm out to the brunette and watched as Emily curled up against her and began to play with the ends of her blonde hair, she wanted to see if Emily said something herself. They had a lot of conversations about telling JJ when she was feeling little and JJ trying to reassure her that it didn't matter when she felt small, that it wouldn't ruin any of the time they spent together.

"Pretty," came the soft voice as Emily stared up at her caregiver.

"Thank you, baby, you're very pretty too lovebug," JJ said back, Emily smiled before she froze. JJ knew that she was little, fearful eyes met baby blue ones and JJ gave her an easy smile,

"Your alright pumpkin, everything is fine, I'm not upset," JJ reassured her girl softly, stroking the soft brown hair,

"But I ruin date night," Emily said anxiously, chewing harshly at her lower lip, almost instantly drawing blood.

"No, baby, you really didn't. We had a great date and now I get to spend time with little Em, this evening is prefect, you didn't ruin anything honey. I promise, you don't need to feel guilty," the blonde continued to reassure her girl, this time the brunette nodded, even though her eyes still portrayed feelings of guilt. Sighing gently, the blonde placed a kiss on top of the brunettes head,

"Let's have a bath and change into comfy pyjamas lovebug," the blonde said gently, waiting for her girl to nod in agreement and then she pulled them up of the couch and led her girl to the bathroom. She sat the brunette on the counter and turned to fiddle with the taps, once she had got the right temperature, she turned back around to face her baby. Her thumb came up to swipe across the cut on the brunette's lower lip that that she had managed to do in her moment of anxiety,

"I'll clean that after we have finished the bath," JJ said more to herself than Emily. The other agent whined unhappily in response, This was expected, and JJ simply gave her a small smile and a quick kiss on the cheek, Emily couldn't help but smile after that. Glad she had cheered her baby up she turned back around to the bath, noting it was done she turned off the water and moved to take the brunette's clothes off before her own and then settled into the tub, before guiding the brunette to sit between her legs and giving her a rubber duck to play with before she moved to clean them both off.

Once they tub had been drained and both women had dried off, JJ reached into a draw and pulled out a pull-up for the brunette, Emily held onto JJ's shoulders and let her pull the pull-up onto her and the pyjama pants quickly following, along with the pyjama shirt. JJ lifted her girl back up onto the counter when she finished before getting dressed herself. When she was finished, she moved to pull out the small first aid kit and grabbed the wipes before turning back around to face her girl who was beginning to whimper softly on the counter.

"No mama, going to hurt," Emily whined anxiously,

"It's only going to sting for a second lovebug, and then it will be all over you know that pumpkin." JJ reminded her softly, she waited for Emily to nod,

"That's my good girl," JJ praised gently, she grabbed some cleaning supplies from the kit and wiping the cut on her girl's lip down. The brunette didn't say anything but flinched when the wipe hit her and tears sprung into her eyes, "it's okay love bug, you're okay we are almost done." The brunette stayed still until it was done and whimpered when the wipe was taken away.

"You're alright love bug, I've got you." JJ pulled the brunette into her arms letting her cry silently into her shoulder, "You did so well baby, I'm so proud of you." Beaming at the praise Emily let her caregiver carry her out of the bathroom and into the bedroom where she was set on the bed,

"Be quick mama," the brunette said, as she watched the blonde head out of the bedroom to grab the little her bottle, Emily didn't want to be apart from her mama for long this evening, still feeling a little guilty.

"I will baby," the blonde responded. JJ hurried out of the room and quickly made up a bottle for her girl and headed back into the bedroom where she got herself comfy on the bed before moving her little into her usual position where she then fed her the bottle, as she was drinking Emily felt the guilt fade from her, her mama wouldn't be doing all this if she was truly angry at her. When she was finished, she smiled up at her caregiver before opening her mouth a silent plea for her pacifier, the item was quickly popped into her mouth and Emily then snuggled down under the covers,

"Hold me mama, please," Emily whispered softly,

"Of course, love bug, come here," JJ opened her arms wide, welcoming the dark-haired agent to cuddle up close to her, the taller woman's head rested on the blonde's chest, listening to her heartbeat to relax and settle down for the night. "You comfy baby?" JJ asked,

"Yep," the brunette responded,

"I'm glad baby, please don't feel guilty about tonight, I had an amazing night and any time I get to spend with you I treasure, whatever headspace you're in," the blonde spoke gently,

"Okay mama, I believe you," the tired brunette murmured around her pacifier,

"Time to go night night then love bug," the blonde spoke again,

"Night night mama, I love you,"

"Love you to pumpkin," the blonde replied watching with a small smile as the brunette fell asleep almost immediately and JJ thought to herself that, it had been a perfect evening in the Prentiss-Jareau household.
