When Emily pulls into the driveway that night they see the Jareau's car as well as a rental they assume is Will and Helen's. Emily smiles. It made her feel good to know family was going to be around all weekend. JJ sees the smile and squeezes Emily's hand.

"I love to see you so happy, baby."

Emily smiles at JJ. "They you must love a lot because I've been happy ever since you admitted you shared my feelings."

JJ leans across the armrest. "Charmer," she says as she gives Emily a kiss.

The two head inside and are greeted with a happy squeal and a little boy racing down the hall in his walker. Emily laughs and squats down to intercept him.

"Hey, Champ. Guess you're showing off your wheels for Helen. We're going to have to worry about you if you're always showing off for the pretty girls."

He just cackles and claps. Will and Helen come out of the living room to greet JJ and Emily. Emily stands, Henry in her arms.

"Easy, baby," JJ cautions.

Emily just rolls her eyes. "I'm fine, Jen."

"Nice shiner, JJ. Hope the other guy looks worse?"

JJ thinks about Ryan Lucerne a moment. "Well, he may not look worse but he definitely feels worse. I'm sure of that."

Will chuckles, figuring the bastard is in jail. "Good." He gives her and Emily a kiss on the cheek. "Good to see y'all again. Sorry I missed y'all last time."

JJ shrugs. "At least that case was a win. This last one…well, it just fucking sucked."

"Jen! Language!" Emily scolds.

JJ, Will and Helen all laugh at the woman who still avoids cussing in front of the youngster. She raises an eyebrow. "You all laugh at me but if his first word is the 'f' word I'll be getting the last laugh! Come on, Henry. Let's go find Grandma and Grandpa."

Emily walks off with the little boy who just keeps up a steady stream of babble. JJ glances at Will.

"She's right, you know. We'd never live it down."

Will chuckles. "True. Guess we're about at the stage where we have to start s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g words."

JJ and Helen laugh at him. "Yeah, I guess we are," JJ agrees.

They head on into the house, finding Sandy and Alan in the kitchen with Emily and Henry. Sandy raises an eyebrow at JJ.

"If his first word is a curse word, I will turn you over my knee, Jennifer Andrea Prentiss. Don't you doubt that for a minute!"

JJ looks beyond Sandy and sees Emily stick her tongue out at her in a very bratty gesture. "I'll remember this, Agent Prentiss," JJ warns as Emily just grins.

"So, Emily, when are Gerald and Elizabeth arriving?"

Emily shrugs. "I have no idea. They were hoping to get here tonight but Mother had a big meeting she wasn't going to be able to miss. They may have to fly overnight and just arrive tomorrow for the party."

"How late can they get a flight out?" Helen asks.

Emily blushes. "Uh, well…late as they want…uh…it's Father's plane."

Emily turns her attention to Henry. She knows these people know about her money but it still feels like bragging to point out such a largesse as a private jet. Sandy sees the blush and places a hand on Emily's shoulder.

"Does this mean we've made this drive countless times when we could have flown? I should turn you over my knee!" she teases.

Emily laughs, grateful for the break in the tension. "Sorry, Sandy. We'll see what we can do next time."

Alan walks over and studies JJ's face. After a couple minutes, JJ rolls her eyes. "Geez, Dad, stare much?"

"Just trying to decide if that's really a good color purple for you or if I've just gotten used to it."

Everyone, except JJ, bursts into laughter.

"Thanks, Dad. Always good to know how loved I am. I think I'll go upstairs and get changed."

Emily passes Henry off to Sandy. "I think that sounds good. I'm tired of business clothes this week. I had to go a whole case without putting on my combat boots and cargo pants. This whole liaison thing is pretty stuffy."

Will frowns. "Uh, why are you being a media liaison? Trying to steal JJ's job?"

Emily chuckles. "I'll give it back to her gladly. I, uh, am trying to get pregnant." Will and Helen's eyes get wide. "And if I get pregnant I can't be a field agent. So, I'm training to be a liaison and JJ is training to be a profiler so the team doesn't get broken up."

"Wow! I…I had no idea y'all were moving forward with that," Will states. "Who is…I mean how are…um…"

JJ lays a hand on his arm. "Mark donated so the baby will be related to me and to Henry by more than a piece of paper."

Will smiles. "Yeah? That's great! Good luck with everything. I know Henry will love having a little brother or sister. And as they get older, I'd be happy to take them both so they can bond together and not feel left out of things."

JJ smiles broadly. "Will, that's great! Thank you so much. It means a lot to us that you make that kind of offer."

She gives him a big hug. As she and Emily head upstairs, Helen pulls him into a hug. She looks at Sandy and Alan. "Is there any wonder why I love this man?"

Sandy chuckles. "Not a bit. Not one little bit."

As if in agreement, Henry claps and chuckles, waving his hands at his Daddy.


Up in the bedroom, Emily hops in the shower after stripping down. For some reason, she suddenly feels dirty when she gets home from work. JJ pokes her head into the bathroom.

"All okay, Em?"

"Yeah. Just feel…dirty. The cases I reviewed today just…just clung to me. I'll be down in a few minutes."

JJ smiles. She remembers when she was first pregnant she had gotten on a showering kick. She didn't know at the time she was pregnant but she bets it's what is driving Emily's need to wash off work when she gets home.

"Please, God," she whispers, "please let her be pregnant. Please."

She heads back downstairs to see dinner is ready. She tells everyone to go ahead and start, that Emily would be down soon. They all dig into the spaghetti, garlic bread and Caesar salad Francesca had made. Helen moans in happiness.

"Oh, Francesca! This sauce is…is…oh, wow! Please tell me you will share the recipe?"

Francesca smiles proudly. "Of course, cara. But be warned, I do not use measurements just…just…instinct, is the word, yes?" Helen nods her head. "But I will show you what I do so you can try it."

Helen smiles. "I'll try it. And I will keep trying until I get it right. It's fantastic!"

"That's the benefit of a true Italian making the sauce," Emily states as she sits down. "And I warn you, I've tried for years to make this sauce and it's yet to work."

Helen grins. "I've always loved a challenge."

Alan lifts the bottle of wine beside him. "Emily? Need a glass?"

Emily blushes. "Uh, no, thanks. In my quest to get pregnant I've given up wine, caffeine and wild women. Nothing but water, Caffeine-Free Coke and Jen for me for a while, I guess," she says as if it's a hardship.

JJ raises an eyebrow. "Say it like that again and it will just be the Coke and water."

The family laughs. The meal continues and everyone sits around long after it's done just enjoying their time catching up. When they finally head to bed, it's decided Will and Sandy will help Emily get the food platters and cake the next day. The others would stay around to set up for the dual parties.

In their bedroom, Emily pulls JJ close. "I love you so much, Jennifer Prentiss. Thank you for giving me a family and a home, two things I always wished for growing up."

JJ gives her a deep kiss. "I'm happy you finally have your wish." She rubs Emily's stomach. "Hopefully there's still more of that wish to be fulfilled."

Emily smiles and places her hand on JJ's. "I hope so, too."

The two start to kiss again. A tremor rolls over Emily. She is not allowed to have sex for 2 weeks…but her wife has no such restriction. Her hand moves up under JJ's top. The blonde starts to pull away.

"Em…no…" she says breathlessly.

Emily just holds her with one arm as her hand makes it to JJ's bra. "I need you, Jen." She licks JJ's lips. "I could have lost you this week." She nips JJ's jaw. "I need to touch you, to feel you." Her teeth nip JJ's earlobe. "Please don't say no."

JJ just moans as Emily's lips capture hers in a searing kiss. Emily unbuttons the shirt JJ wears and lets it slip to the floor. The blue, satin bra follows a moment later. JJ's legs turn to jelly as Emily catches one perfect nipple in her mouth.

"Oh, Emily…oh, baby," JJ moans.

She doesn't even realize Emily has loosened the sweatpants she wears until Emily's hand is caressing her nether lips.

"OH! Oh, Emily!

JJ steps out of her sweats as Emily starts to push her back towards the bed. As JJ lies down, Emily just stares, taking in the naked beauty that is her wife.

"You are so fucking beautiful, Jennifer."

Emily slowly removes her clothes, watching as JJ's eyes darken with desire. Once down to her panties, Emily climbs on top of her wife.

"I wish you could scream with abandon but remember, we have guests," Emily warns as her thigh presses against JJ's wet center.

"Oh, you fucking tease," JJ mutters as she rocks against her wife's leg.

Emily kisses her again, one hand toying with JJ's breasts. The blonde moans into Emily's mouth, starting to rock her hips harder against Emily. Emily leans up to look JJ in the eye as her hand moves down and brushes over the hard clit begging for release. JJ pumps her hips up, urging Emily to enter her.

Emily obliges. Two fingers thrust in as her thumb plays with JJ's clit.

"I love you, Jennifer Prentiss," Emily states as her mouth locks with JJ's once more. They rock together, Emily's leg helping drive her fingers deeper, her thumb harder. Soon JJ's orgasm is ripping through her as Emily's mouth smothers the accompanying scream.

As JJ slowly comes down from the high, Emily removes her fingers, feeling JJ jump once more at the loss of contact.

"Oh, Emily, I love you so much. I wish to hell I could do for you what you just did for me."

Emily smiles. "A certain part of me wishes that, too. But the rest of me knows it will be worth the wait if I get good news in 10 days."

JJ strokes a hand down Emily's cheek. "Thank you for this, baby. I've really needed to feel you this way this week. I just didn't want to seem selfish."

Emily smiles. "Needing me isn't selfish, Jennifer. That's just part of loving each other. And I will not forget your needs regardless of what the next few months bring. I promise."

They kiss again, this time a kiss of love not desire. Emily rolls off her wife. JJ snuggles up to her, resting her head on Emily's shoulder. After a few minutes JJ sighs.

"You do know one of us is going to have to get our ass up and turn the light off, right?"

Emily chuckles. "Yep…yep, I know."

JJ smiles and rolls to the side of the bed. "Well, since you rocked my world so nicely I guess I could do it."

"Thanks, baby."

JJ gets the light turned off and climbs in with her wife, once more snuggling up to her. JJ's hand caresses Emily's low stomach, her mind on the potential life growing inside. After a second, Emily's hand stills JJ's.

"Um…Jen…bit keyed up…please stop torturing me."

JJ pulls her hand away quickly. "Ooops! Sorry, baby. I love you."

Emily kisses her forehead. "I love you, too, sweetheart."

JJ rolls to hers side, facing away from her wife. Emily spoons against her back, their right hands interlinked on JJ's stomach. Just before she drops off, the thought hits Emily.

"Won't be able to do this once I'm several months pregnant." With a wistful smile, she falls into slumber.
