18B won. So 18A was deleted. Thank you for your comments and feedback. =)
And for those of you who noticed the cross-over congrats. I love Law and Order SVU and couldn't resist throwing it in there. It adds some humor.
But alas...I own neither SVU or Criminal minds.
*sigh*
CHAPTER 19
When JJ woke up she heard commotion downstairs in the kitchen. She got up and checked the girls' room but found it empty. She checked the time. It was almost ten. Why didn't her phone alarm go off? She walked downstairs and saw Carrie and Chris cooking or attempting to. Carrie had pancake mix all over her front and Chris had egg in her hair and on her shirt. Both girls were laughing and avoiding the powder as they threw it at each other.
"Morning." JJ smiled.
Both girls stopped and looked like deer in headlights as they put their hands down.
"Morning." They blushed.
"What are you two up to?" JJ teased going over and flicking some of the pancake mix at them. The action started a whole new food fight.
Ten minutes later Emily walked down and the sight made her smile.
Carrie had turned on Chris and teamed up with JJ and had her cornered by the sink. They were flicking pancake mix and sugar and cinnamon at her and Chris was retaliating with mix but was losing this battle.
Emily's laugh caused them to freeze. "Oh, don't stop on account of me." Emily chuckled. She looked at Chris. "Why did neither of our alarms go off?" Emily asked.
"We called in for you?" Chris offered nervously.
"Thank you. "Emily smiled as she walked over and kissed JJ softly then pulled away. "You taste like sugar." JJ giggled and turned to the teens.
"Ok, we had fun, now let's actually make something." She laughed as they began to actually turn the pancake mix into batter instead of projectiles.
Emily smiled as she sat at the four seater table and watched her three girls cook.
After eating, cleaning the kitchen and themselves the four decided to go for a drive. Neither had a destination in mind they just got in JJ's car and drove. JJ and Emily were up front and Chris was stretched out on the backseat with her head in Carrie's lap and their bags in the trunk.
"Anywhere you want to go?" JJ asked as they got to a rest stop and both teens shrugged.
"I usually go to New York on whims like these." Chris said.
"New York it is." JJ said putting the car in drive.
When they arrived at Central Park the group was already waiting. Chris smiled when she saw them and once the car was in park she was out of the car hugging a tall blue eyed blonde.
"I see, Alex comes around and we're forgotten." Matt pouted as Chris glared.
"Just for that you get hugged last." Chris said sticking her tongue out. Chris made good on that and hugged Matt last.
"Hey Carrie." Patty smiled hugging the teen. "Emily, good to see you." Patty said hugging the brunette agent.
"Hey Patty." Emily smiled softly.
"And who is this gorgeous blonde?" Lindsey asked as Ronnie glared. "I was complimenting her geez."
"This is Jennifer Jareau, my…" Emily trailed off. Were they back together?
"Girlfriend, you can call me JJ." JJ beamed. Yes they were.
"Chris told us you were a looker." Matt said.
"Thanks." JJ blushed.
"Flirt." Chris coughed into her fist.
"Don't be jealous." Lindsey smirked as Chris scoffed.
"Yeah, anyway, JJ this is Alex Cabot, her younger sister Patty and my cousin Matt." Wesley jumped off the picnic table and onto her back. "And this monkey is my nephew Wesley." Chris laughed.
"We don't get an introduction?" Lindsey asked.
"And the drama queen there is Lindsey and her girlfriend Ronnie." Chris introduced.
"Nice to meet you all." JJ smiled.
"You work with Emily?" Alex asked and Chris knew that look.
"Please don't interrogate her."
"I'm not." Alex said. "Just making conversation." Alex said.
"It's fine and yes, I work with Emily, I'm the media liaison for the BAU." JJ said.
"Best damn one in the world." Emily said proudly as she wrapped an arm around the blonde's waist.
"Chris told us a bit about your job, it must be tiring." Patty said giving her a sympathetic look.
"It's not that bad, I love feeling like I've helped people get the truth." JJ said.
"I love that feeling as well." Alex said empathetically.
"You work law enforcement?" JJ asked.
"I'm pretty sure you heard about what happened to me." Alex said.
"I'm not so sure." JJ said.
"ADA Alexandra Cabot of the Manhattan SVU." Alex said and it clicked.
"Oh, I remember that in the paper." JJ said.
"Velez was killed in prison and so here she is, MIA to almost all Cabot and Sloan galas and functions." Matt said giving Chris a pointed look.
"I drive out here enough times, leave me alone, she's right in the city." Chris huffed.
"When you go I'll go." Alex said.
"Like that's ever gonna happen." Chris scoffed.
"And why is that?" Patty asked.
"Because none of you are putting me in a dress." Chris said.
"Very true." Lindsey said. "She wore a tux to fall formal last year."
"And this year Grandma isn't letting you get away with that." Carrie smirked.
"Holy shi-z!" Lindsey exclaimed. "You're wearing a dress?"
"Big deal because?" Chris asked.
"You haven't worn a dress since you were ten." Emily pointed out.
"Really?" Chris shrugged it off.
"So Alex, how are you and the detective going?" Lindsey asked as Alex glared.
"Detective?" Ronnie asked.
"Olivia and I are just fine." Alex said crossing her arms.
"Translation: I haven't talked to her yet nor do I plan to in the future." Chris said as Alex scowled. "But the future is full of surprises. Hey Liv!" Chris beamed getting up to hug the detective.
"Hey Chris, how are you?" Olivia Benson asked as Chris smiled.
"Excellent now." Chris smirked and gave Alex a pointed look.
"Matt, Patty, nice to see you again." Olivia greeted shaking their hands. She spotted Emily. "Emily, haven't seen you since your last visit nearly three years ago." They hugged.
"I've been busy." Emily shrugged.
"Liv!" Wesley reached from Chris' back and the detective took the boy in her arms.
"And how are you little man?"
"Good!"
"Awesome." She placed him down and he ran over to Alex.
"Lindsey, how's school?" Olivia asked.
"Good, this is Ronnie, my girlfriend." Lindsey introduced as they shook hands.
"Go say hi!" Wesley grunted trying to push Alex forward.
"Alex." Olivia said. "When did you get into town?"
"Like you don't know." Alex said and regretted her words when Olivia flinched. "Sorry."
"Not like I don't deserve it." Olivia said.
"Why don't you two take a walk and we'll start the grill." Emily said while giving Chris a 'you're in trouble' look.
"After you." Olivia said as Alex began walking.
Once they were out of ear shot Chris got thumped on the head, each shoulder and gut. Matt head, Patty left shoulder, Lindsey right shoulder and Wesley in the gut.
"Ow!"
"What were you thinking inviting both of them?" Emily asked.
"I was thinking the cold war would end. They love each other."
"And always end up hurting each other." Patty pointed out.
"They only hurt each other because one of them always ends up leaving!" Chris exclaimed.
"And you have to let them figure that out on their own, no more butting in." Lindsey said as Chris huffed.
"Fine I'll stop." Chris said.
"Even for Emily?" Matt asked and Emily looked at her as Chris scoffed.
"She got her girl. And if I hadn't butt in there I'd have Jenna for a step mom." Chris snorted. "And I'd rather get shot in each limb twice than have that."
"Must you be so vulgar?" Patty asked.
"Depends on the situation." Chris said as they got the grill going.
Alex and Olivia returned with promises of being civil.
"Translation: Alex has a date next Friday!" Chris, Patty and Emily sing songed earning two trying glares from the detective and ADA who were both blushing a deep red.
JJ nudged Chris as they sat around on a picnic blanket after lunch.
"Yeah?" Chris asked.
"Thank you."
"For what?" Chris asked.
"Butting in."
Chris smiled. "No problem."
"I have an idea!" Matt piped up and Chris rolled her eyes.
"Oh dear lord save our souls." She said sarcastically getting a laugh from everyone.
Matt glared. "I was thinking we could go back to our place for dinner and you three could stay the night." Matt said as Chris smiled.
"Oh, that's up to JJ and Emily." Chris said.
"Stay, please, Chris only ever stays for a day, it'd be nice to have her in town for more than one." Patty said.
"Sure." Emily said.
"I'll stay if Alex does." Chris said as Alex glared.
"Come on sis, we never see you anyway." Patty pouted and Chris joined her which got Wesley to join.
"Oh come on, the kid?" Alex asked trying to ignore it but then a tear came to Wesley's eye. "Ok, just don't start crying." Alex caved as Chris high fived Wesley.
"You are all welcome to join us." Matt said as Olivia shook her head.
"I traded days with Eliot so he could spend time with his family; I have to be at work in the morning." Olivia said.
"Mid terms are coming up, so I bid the rest of you good morrow." Lindsey said.
"Quoting Shakespeare, she must be in the theater again." Chris said as Ronnie nodded.
"We'll see you guys around." Ronnie said waving as she and Lindsey left.
"It was good seeing you Olivia, feel free to stop by anytime." Patty said as Olivia nodded and hugged them all but shook Alex's hand.
"I swear you're terrible." Alex said as Chris smiled.
"Runs in the family." Chris sing songed.
"We aren't blood related." Alex reminded as Chris shrugged. "Out of all the guys you could have married it had to be him?" Alex asked her sister pointing to Matt.
"What can I say, you don't choose who you love." Patty smiled kissing Matt sweetly.
"Ew!" Wesley cried covering his eyes.
JJ let the words sink in. When she had first saw Emily it was instant. The feelings and everything were just there. She turned to the brunette and smiled kissing her cheek.
The rest of the weekend went without a hitch. They spent time as a family, looking at old photos and having a fun time.
Review please. =D
