Not much this time in plot development, but lots of cute little fluffy stuff to feed you all;)
Someone to Watch Over Me
Chapter 7
Once Emily had began to read to herself, Jack wondered off to see if Aunt Penelope had any of her marshmallows left.
"Hey Jackster!" Garcia greeted the boy loudly, giving him a tight squeeze.
"Hi Aunt Pen." Jack grinned, knowing that he knew something that she and the others didn't. After Garcia had gotten him sufficiently loaded up on the sugary treat she began to question the boy, to the amusement of the rest of the group.
"So, Jack. Your dad and Emily are getting kinda close, huh?" Jack shrugged nonchalantly.
"I guess." He replied simply, popping another candy into his mouth.
"So, do you like your dad spending more time with Emily?" Garcia asked hopefully.
"I guess." Jack replied again, "But I prefer Natalie at home." He ran off quickly before they could ask him anything else, trying not to giggle as he sat down beside Emily again.

Emily watched as the small flat pebble bounced across the water's surface. She'd been skimming rocks for a while now, which was something that she used to do with her grandfather for hours on end when she was young.
"Nice throw." She heard from behind her, and spun around quickly, seeing Aaron leaning casually against a tree.
"Thanks," She smiled, "Where's everyone else?" She asked, hoping that they had a moment to themselves.
"Listening to one of Garcia's stories." He rolled his eyes, "So they might be a while." Emily chuckled as they walked up to each other, wrapping her arms around him. She sighed into his chest.
"Can we just stay for this for like… The next couple hundred years?" Emily joked, "This is getting old now though, we should tell the team soon." She pulled back and looked him in the eye.
"I think so too," He nodded in agreement, "All this sneaking around is exhausting!" He said dramatically, holding a hand to his chest. Emily chuckled.
"Did you hear what your son said to the team?" She struggled to keep the grin off of her face as Aaron frowned.
"No, what was it?"
"They asked him about us and he gave nothing away, just said that he preferred Natalie and ran off." Aaron laughed outright.
"You're kidding! Where does he learn this stuff from?" He asked the sky rhetorically.
"Only God knows." She laughed, shaking her head. They sobered up after a few moments, and Aaron leaned down and kissed along Emily's jaw.
"Mmm, Aaron." She moaned and began running her fingers through his hair, "What if someone see's us?" She asked, but didn't stop him on any account.
"Jack's on lookout." Aaron smirked, leading a trail of open-mouthed kisses up to her lips. He pulled her closer by the waist and she deepened the kiss. She was just about to pull away in need of air when she heard a voice through the trees.
"Yuck!" They heard a familiar voice exclaim, "Daddy, Uncle Morgan and Aunt Penny are coming." He stage whispered, loudly enough for them to hear.
"Shoot." Emily said, trying to smooth down Aaron's mussed up hair and wipe the remnants of lipstick off of his cheek whilst he straightened her clothes as best he could after he'd messed them up with his roaming hands.
When he'd done Emily quickly moved back to the side of the lake and picked up another rock, skimming it across the water just as Morgan and Garcia came into view through the trees.
"Cool Em'ly!" Jack shouted and ran forwards when he saw the rock bouncing over the water, "Can you show me how to do that?"
"Sure Jack, come here." She gestured him forwards, knowing that Garcia and Morgan were watching her.
"You need a really flat rock like this." She held one up, and stood behind him, holding the rock in the right place, "Then you flick your wrist like this." She did the movement with him and they released the rock together, and watched it hop four times before dinking down in the water.
"Did you see that dad?!" Jack asked his father excitedly.
"Sure did buddy." He rewarded his son with a smile.
Once satisfied that nothing mysterious was going on, Morgan and Garcia walked up beside them, each picking up a rock and skimming it over the water. Emily looked at Aaron over their heads and they smirked at each other, them skimmed another stone.

Emily watched on as JJ held Henry's arms as the pair paddled in the lake. Garcia sat down beside her on the ground.
"Hi gumdrop." The blonde smiled, as if knowing something that she didn't… Although Emily knew different.
"Hey PG." Emily greeted in return, before settling her gaze back on the two blondes giggling at the sheer coldness of the water.
"Are you going to have little Prentiss' one day?" Garcia asked, as if deep in thought; her gaze also lingering on JJ and Henry.
"Yeah, I think so." Emily nodded, drawing her knees up to her chest and hugging them to her body. Even though she adored Jack and felt as if he was her son, there was still that draw to becoming pregnant and being a mother that she just couldn't ignore. And even though it would probably a little while down the line for her and Aaron, she already knew that it had to be with him. "What about you? Are you thinking of having little tech-geniuses?" She distracted her with a question and Garcia shrugged.
"Maybe. If the right man and opportunity pops up then sure." Emily frowned. It was known that her and Kevin had broken up a few months ago, and sure they had a lot in common, but that's not all that is needed for a successful relationship.
"Have you ever thought about Morgan?" Garcia pulled her knees up to her chest and mimicked Emily's position.
"The attraction's definitely there," The blonde smiled, "But you know what he's like. There's always a woman hanging off of his side." Emily put her hand around her friend's back, not knowing that she felt this way.
"Yeah, but how many of those women were he serious about? I have no doubt that when he finds the right woman he'll settle down." She smiled softly at Garcia, "And I've never met someone more perfect for you than Morgan." Garcia reciprocated and put her arm around Emily's back.
"Thanks sweet cheeks. He knows that I'll be sitting in my lair when that day comes." Emily chuckled.
"I'm sure he does."

Emily took off her jacket in the hot afternoon sun and unzipped her tent to put it inside. Just as she was folding it up to put beside her sleeping bag she froze when there was a loud buzzing sound. The brunette tried to work out where the sound was coming from when something entered her tunnel of vision.
Squealing loudly she ran from her tent, not stopping until she was at least ten feet away. Emily looked up to see the group staring at her.
"What's wrong Princess?" Morgan asked, standing up.
"There is a ginormous bee in there!" She pointed at her tent and took another step away from it. Morgan chuckled a little.
"Tell me you're not scared of bees." Aaron stood up as well, knowing about her bee phobia.
"Yes! They're horrible. Please can someone just get it out?" Aaron walked towards her.
"I've got it." He assured her, brushing back the door of her tent. Maybe her fear was slightly irrational, but he understood since she'd told him all about the time when she'd gotten stung by seven different bees all at once when she was younger. Those kinds of experiences tend to imprint on a person.
When he found the bee calmly sitting upon her rucksack he dragged the bag out of the tent and the offending creature flew away.
"See, nothing to worry about." Morgan said when she came and sat down again. Aaron just patted her shoulder as he walked past and she shot him a grateful look.
