*Okay as always I own nothing of Criminal Minds or Rizzoli & Isles just enjoying using the characters.

The team was all glad that Maura had suggested for them to debrief at the Ambassador's house to Hotch since Bettie was in the mood to make breakfast for everyone. It really was the closest place and Hotch needed to pick up Jack, the girls wanted to make sure Emily was sound asleep in her bed, and Rossi was going there anyway because he lived there. The decision was already made when the jet landed. Everyone got off but JJ, Jane and Emily with Z-man coming aboard afterward every one left heading to the debriefing.
JJ gave the man a hug, "Thank you for doing this."
"It's an honor." He said lifting the sleeping woman like anyone would a sleeping child. She only opened her eyes for a moment and smiled placing her arms around his neck.
The men from the team had already taken the women's bags with them so there wasn't anything to gather except for a sleeping princess. JJ went in front and got into the car so when Z-man laid her down she could take hold of Emily's head with Jane slipping in behind the three taking her legs into her lap.
When they pulled up to the house the first group had already started settling into the dinning room except for Pen who had taken Emily's go bag up to Maura's and Emily's bedroom. Z-man walked in carrying sleeping beauty taking her effortlessly up the stairs and into the bedroom followed by the three women hot on his trail. Once he got her laid down she opened her eyes "Amah-sigah-nalu Zelalem" (Thank you Zelalem.) No! Zelalem has never suited you... Z-man a hero at his best."
"I'm not so sure about all that QB." He said standing up straight.
Emily pointed her finger at him and wiggled her finger for him to come nearer. When he was in range she lunged up and kissed his cheek, "But I am." She said and fell back onto her pillows and closed her eyes again.
"Zelalem... she is for lack of a better word "drunk." Maura said trying to explain her lover's behavior.
"No Ms. Maura... she was speaking from her heart which she always does. People only seem to hear it though when her behavior changes." He said as he straightened up, "If you will excuse me now." and left the room.
"Pen I laid a t-shirt on that chair beside you. That maybe all we can get on her but I want her comfortable." Maura said as she started unzipping one of the woman's boots. JJ took up on the other side realizing that this was defiantly a two woman job if not three. "Jane... my bag is over there on the changing table would you bring it to me. I want to get a read of her blood pressure before we start and after we finish. It will give me more information on her care."
"I got it Maur..."
"Here is the princess's sleep wear my lady and I'm on my way down to eat breakfast with my scooter butt." She said as Maura took the shirt and she headed for the door before Jane could retort back to her statement.
"How do you want to do this?" JJ asked looking at the passed out woman.
"First... I'm going to take her blood pressure." Maura said as she put the cuff on Emily's arm and started pumping it up.
"Ouch... Jennifer you have missed my breast totally you sadist mad woman." She said opening her eye seeing a laughing JJ standing in front of her pointing at Maura.
"That is your sadist wife taking your blood pressure." She said raising an eye brow like "I know you aren't going to give her the same crap you gave me."
"Have I missed a memo or something? When did you two get into squeezing body parts of me until pain ensues?" She said looking at Maura who had finished with the reading and was deflating the cuff.
"110 over 70..." She said so she wouldn't forget the numbers, "Since we have to make sure that you are not harming your body by unnecessary pressure and stress... but that is a discussion for another time isn't it pretty girl?" Emily's whole demeanor melted at the words "pretty girl."
"Now that we have your eyes open for a few... can you help us undress you." She asked looking at her lover.
"I have to be dreaming." Emily said to her self shaking her head then got dizzy, "Whoa..."
"Careful there love." Maura said starting to unzip her pants. "Lift up for me so I can pull these off of you." Emily raised up, "Now lift your arms up so Jennifer can take you shirt off of you.
"No..." She said in a pout.
"Emily..."
"No... she will start pressing and pushing and that hurts." She said in a pout.
"Chessie is so your daughter." Maura said smiling at the woman. She put the woman's pants on the chair and came and sat down beside her, "I will take your shirt and bra off and Jennifer will put your t-shirt on you. would that be better?" She asked handing JJ the t-shirt. "But you know that we will have to express your breast again when you wake up love. You can't feed Bella for another twenty hours."
Emily hung her head in what appeared to be shame. "Je sius de'sole ma rose. (I'm so sorry my rose.) was said barley above a whisper.
"Ecoute-moi jolie fille. (Listen to me pretty girl.) She said lifting Emily's face up so she could see brown eyes. "Je suis tellement fier de vous prendre soin de vous (I am so proud of you taking care of yourself.) She said and leaned over and kissed the woman's lips with tenderness. Emily opened her eyes but couldn't express her words. She just placed her hand over the woman's heart where she promptly placed her's over Emily's and smiled, "pour toujours (forever.)" They sat for a moment just communicating in their own language.
"Okay... I here French but if any rhymes start coming out... I'm gone." Jane said coming over and giving the moment a needed laugh and break of silence. Emily lifted her arms and Maura pulled the shirt off of her and slipped her hands behind her and unclasped the bra.
"I love you... you know that." Emily said when the clasp was undone.
"Don't fall for that Maura..." JJ said waving her arms and shaking her head no, "... she told me that when I undid her bra too. Then moments later nothing but curses and threats of never seeing her nipples again."
"Yeah... because you used my boob like a pastry bag squeezing it down to nothing... sadist!" Emily growled.
"God! Go back to French... you people give way too many details." Jane paused a moment making up her mind, "Never mind..." She said lifting her arms in the air in surrender then hitting them against her legs in true Italian fashion, "... I'm going down stairs with lollipop girl and scooter butt." She said shaking the images Emily had just described out of her head while the others laughed.
"You two talked?" Maura asked pulling the bra off of her lover. "Yeah... it's okay." She said and pecked Maura's lips.
"Okay you two..." JJ didn't get to finish before Emily raised her arms up and the t-shirt fell over her head. "I'm going to go down stairs too before the cursing begins again when she takes your blood pressure post clothes change."
Emily looked up at the woman and motioned her down to face level, "I do love you Jennifer." She said and leaned in and kissed the woman tenderly and unhurriedly.
"And I love you too." She replied back as she pulled away and started for the door until she heard her name.
"Jennifer..."
She turned to look at Maura who stood and walked over to her, "Thank you for bringing her home to me once again."
"Always..." JJ said and hugged the woman who caught her face with both of her hands before she could totally pull away from the embrace.
"I love you too Jennifer... more than you could possibly imagine." She said and brought the woman's lips to hers for a simple kiss that spoke volumes, "... please... remember that." JJ pulled her into another hug that was tighter and longer.
"I will..." She said and looked at Emily, "...and you behave over there Prentiss." She said and smiled at the pouting woman and left the two lovers alone.
"Do you want some sweatpants love?"
"No... just you." She said smiling at the woman who held her heart.
"That is something you always have." She said as she pulled her pants off leaving her in one of Emily's t-shirts and sliding in beside the woman.
Emily looked at the t-shirt, "Between you and Jennifer my t-shirt supply is dwindling."
"Was that a complaint?"
"Nope." She said smiling as she laid her head over on Maura's chest. "I missed you."
"We all missed you." Maura said with a second thought of the previous year going through her mind. She kissed Emily's head, "Rest pretty girl... we'll talk more later." She said as she heard Emily's breathing evening out. "She got out of the second reading," Maura thought to herself but just kissed the contented woman's head again. "The first reading wasn't that bad." She thought justifying not waking the slumbering woman.
Okay here is a small post...
