As Emily set the last of the food on the table she knew something was up since none of the young adults at the table were looking up off their plates.

"That's it whatever it is, get it out now before I have to pry it from your dead hands." She ordered and JJ chuckled, all four of them looked up at Emily.

"I'm… pregnant." Lydia said and Emily laughed sitting down.

"Ok yeah, now what's really going on."

"Emily… She's telling the truth." JJ said and everyone looked at her, even young Zack who grinned and reached for her.

"Gamma!" He giggled as she picked him up.

"What you can't tell me you hadn't figured it out a few weeks ago?"

"Wait I just found out." Lydia said.

"How far along are you? About 8 weeks right?"

"Yeah, but how did you know?"

"You haven't had mood swings every… what 29 days?" JJ asked pointed more toward Emily, Izzy and Tara.

"Oh she's right!" Izzy grinned.

"Looks like there is another profiler in the family." Tara chuckled and Izzy rolled her eyes.

"Jaden, do you have anything to add?"

"I backed into a pole again?" He said and Emily laughed hugging her son.

"You would, well I guess this is going to change things a bit isn't it?" Emily asked and everyone nodded. "Can you two handle this?"

"I think so." Lydia smiled.

"You will both stay in school, and then college afterwards, we will help you in anyway you need, and don't worry about money, your grandmother has more than enough money set aside for you two that you could ever need."

"Yeah Jaden, it's insane the amount of money you'll come into when you turn 18."

"But like I told Izzy, you are not to live off that money, I didn't and neither will you, you will not be spoiled children, you will work for a living."

"Yes mom." Izzy and Jaden said at the same time.

"Can we eat now?" JJ asked and Izzy nodded.

"Yeah mom, it's getting late and these kids need to be in bed." Izzy said looking at her two children.

"Mommy I swear we didn't mean to!" Paige whined and Izzy looked at her.

"You know your set bedtime, you broke a rule and this is why you are in trouble and have extra chores this week." Izzy said sternly, Tara leaned over to Emily.

"Why is it they listen to her but not me?"

"Because you my lovely are a push over." Emily smiled pushing Tara back into her chair. "See, point proven." Izzy looked over at her mother.

"Why are you pushing my wife around?"

"Sorry…" Emily said and Tara laughed.

"Not the only one afraid of her."

"Shut up and eat before I take your plate." Emily said and Tara rolled her eyes.

"Emily come on let's go to bed." JJ said unfolding herself from her wife's arms.

"I think we should talk…" Emily said sitting up, she looked up at JJ who stood across the room now.

"About?"

"I was offered a job."

"Ok, and?" JJ sat back down next to Emily.

"I want to take it. It'll be less hours and no travel, I could be home with Jaden and help out more around home."

"Emily, what we do isn't just a job anymore it's a family."

"I know but, JJ I'm getting tired, I'm running out of steam. Every time I walk in those doors I want to walk back out them without having to see those innocent people being put through hell."

"What about retiring?"

"JJ you know I won't do that."

"You're turning your back on the team! Your own family."

"You know that's not true."

"Emily we have all been at this job for a long time, I've been there longer than you and you are the first to give up? Rossi came back, he knew what he was walking back into and yet he still did it."

"Jennifer, I will not sit here and fight against you for something I want."

"What about us? Our family? The world isn't just you Emily."

"I never said it was! For god sakes all I want is this one thing for me and you freak out on me."

"You're giving up everything we've built!"

"You are way over reacting to this." Emily sighed putting her head in her hands.

"You wanna see over reacting?" JJ snapped, she grabbed the throw off the back of the couch. "You can sleep down here tonight." JJ said as she walked away and up the stairs, Emily waited till she heard their bedroom door shut before she let a breath she didn't know she was holding, out.

"Oh Ra what have I done." Emily asked the dog, putting her forehead against his. She scratched his ears before standing up, she made her way up the stairs and knocked on the master bedroom door. When JJ didn't answer she opened the door. "I just have to grab some clothes and brush my teeth." She said looking at the bed, it was too dark to see if JJ was asleep or not. Emily quickly got everything she needed but before she walked out the door she walked over to JJ's side of the bed and knelt down. JJ had her eyes closed, Emily thought maybe she was already asleep but found it doubtful. "I love you Jenifer, don't you ever forget that." She leaned over and kissed JJ's forehead, standing up she walked out of the room and back down to the living room.
