Emma spent the past few days learning about her elder sibling Emily and her lover JJ. Edwin had given the girls a separate room from himself and Jason, thinking this would smooth over the fights that they were having. Emily however wasn't at all pleased with him. she wouldn't speak to either Edwin or Jason at all. Jason had come around about JJ and learned that she too was interested in being a media liaison, he came to love the blonde like a sister. JJ having been thrown in the middle of the family antics found herself trying to please everyone. She loved Emma like a sister and Jason wasn't bothering her as much she still feared his betrayal. After all he would be a Prentiss through and through.

Packing the rest of her pack for the day of skiing Emily and her had planned JJ set it by the door before going to look for Emily. Retracing her steps back into the apartment like room she found Emma on the couch under a blanket with some cartoon playing.

"Seen your sister?" JJ sat down on the armrest of the couch.

"I haven't moved since I got up…last I heard she needed food." Emma looked miserable. "Bring back food!" Emma yelled as JJ walked away. JJ knew food meant the little hide away on the 4th floor that Jason had stalked out. Emily joked about 'Lorelai-ing' it, which only JJ got and she rolled her eyes at. College apparently doesn't change one much. Taking the stairs to avoid a run in with Edwin, JJ made her way over to the burnet woman.

"Were you planning on bringing back food?" JJ pulled a chair up next to Emily.

"Yup, later." Emily smiled at JJ.

"You see Emma?" Emily nodded. "Sucks, we had a good day planned out"

"What if we put if off till tomorrow?" Emily looked at JJ hopeful.

"That's a great idea Em!"

"I'm glad you think so." Emily smirked.

"Don't get all cocky on me now."

"Right." Emily packed up what was left of her meal. "Getting anything?"

"Yeah, what does Emma want?"

"I got her all set, sent Mac up there to serve her all day."

"Smart move." JJ said, before ordering herself food.

"So today, you wanna go to some older sights?"

"Not really…I'd feel bad leaving Emma alone."

"How about this, I know a place a few blocks away, we can get movies, food, and we'll just crash with young Emma today?" JJ grinned and kissed Emily.

"Your so smart."

So Emily asked Mac to take her food up and tell Emma that they'd be right back. Taking JJ's hand Emily went to the front desk and asked for Edwin to be paged down.

"Dad, We're going to head down to the old stomping grounds." Edwin nodded and told the manager to open the gun safe, He handed Emily a small caliber handgun and a 5 inch knife.

"You know how to shoot?"

"Yeah, since I was eight, Every Prentiss does."

"Why?" JJ asked, she had a reason to learn and wanted to know why Emily never told her.

"We never know where we might end up." Emily said "I know this place we're safe."

"Yeah, yeah, sure." JJ smirked teasing Emily, she trusted her to keep her safe.

"I'm only a little ways away we can take a cab."

"Can we walk?"

"It's really cold."

"That's fine."

"We'll walk then." JJ smiled and nodded.

"Emily took JJ right through the town, passing her old house, and up to the store. Emily let JJ in first and let her wonder a little in the store, never more than three paces away thought, she really did remember this place, it wasn't the best.

"Emily…Prentiss…" The man behind the closed off counter area stood up and smiled. "It's Marco!"

"No!" Emily smiled and walked up to him. "With that beard its so hard to tell!" JJ walked up to Emily and wrapped her arms around her. "Marco, this is Jennifer."

"A pleasure to meet you Jennifer, little Emily told me about you on her visits. I'm very honored to meet someone so precious to her."

"Nice to meet you too, Marco." JJ smiled at him.

"Marco, you know Emma?"

"Yes, little Emma, so much like you. Is everything a lot with Emma?"

"It's alright Marco." Emily smiled. "Not a lot, but Emma has a cold. We were wondering if maybe you knew some movies she' likes?" Emily smiled hopefully at the man.

"Your in luck!" He exited the counter area and walked over to the movies pulling off the few that Emma loved. "Here, and get some ice cream too. Tell her to feel better." He smiled at the two women.

"Will do Marco, thank you." Emily smiled again at him as JJ grabbed the ice cream from the back. Handing Marco a fifty Emily told him to keep the change and hugged him.

"See you sooner or later Marco."

"You too Emily, Jennifer."

"Good bye." JJ nodded toward him, as Emily held the door open. "So are we going to be doing that a lot?"

"What?" Emily asked looking through the movies.

"Running into people you know?"

"Yeah, most the time I don't like them so I ignore them, Marco though, he's a good guy."

"Does he have a super man S under his shirt?" JJ smirked.

"I wouldn't doubt it." Emily smiled back at JJ. "Guess Emma and me are a lot more alike than we thought." Emily showed the movies over to JJ, all of Emily's favorites were right there with the exception of E.T.

"Hmm, so I'm guessing your hiding E.T. when we get back?" JJ teased.

"Yup." Emily smiled, wrapping an arm around JJ she pulled her close as they walked back to the hotel. After a short trek back, and the outrageously long time it took for the manager to put the gun and knife away Emily and JJ finally made it back to the room. Emily laughing as JJ kissed the side of her neck, the two stumbled into the living room to find Emma and Mac sitting watching the same cartoon, food all over the place.

"What are you watching?" JJ asked noticing it's the same thing.

"SHHHH!" both Mac and Emma said, not taking their eyes off the TV.

"What the hell…" Emily said softly to JJ.

"Phinnies and Freb." Mac said grunting as he missed what the Green haired thing said. "You made me miss Freb's one line."

"Sorry…" Emily looked guilty and JJ laughed. "Aren't you suppose to be serving Emma?"

"I asked him to watch with me." Emma said before starting to cough, Mac immediately jumped up and got her the bottle of water from the table.

"I think she's got the flu that's going around." Mac said.

"We can take care of her from here, thank you Mac."

"It was my pleasure." He smiled.

"No, I don't want him to leave…." Emma said softly.

"Emma he has a job to do…" Emily knew that for Emma anyone that would even look at her had a great chance of being someone Emma would care for, a friend.

"Please, Mac, stay?" Emma looked like she was about to cry and JJ sat next to her, pulling her close, trying to calm her.

"If Emily is alright with it, I will."

"I can't tell her no…" Emily said and handed Emma the movies. "Pick one kido." She smiled at her sister.

"Emily, the couch folds out to a bed…" Mac said and Emily understood what he meant, so gently JJ and Emily helped Emma over to a chair as they opened the couch to a fold out bed. They laid Emma back down covering her with blankets to keep warm.

"Thanks." Emma said before burrowing down in the blankets. Handing Emily one of the movies to watch Mac sat next to Emma, and JJ and Emily settled next to him. They spent the rest of the day watching movies, talking and eating. Emma by about six o'clock was fast asleep so Emily helped Mac carry her into her room tucking her in for the night. JJ set up her laptop and started a letter to her family.

Dear Mom and Dad and sisters,

I'm so glad you convinced me to come. Emma, Emily's little sister is great. She reminds me so much of Emily. Emily is really protective over her, its hard to believe that she's only know her for a week. Today we spent the day watching movies, a good lazy day, Emma has a cold and Emily just put her to bed for the night. We're planning on going down to the local dinner club for a nice dinner, leaving Jason to watch over Emma. Jason is being a lot nicer, he is struggling a lot with being pitted against his father or Emma. Edwin, I've only seen for a total of ten minutes since Emily yelled at him at the airport. I hope he is alright, but I understand why he would want Emily to settle with a man, I'm just glad she chose me. Tomorrow we're planning a big skiing day, I haven't told Emily yet, but I invited Jason to come along. I hope that they get along, they really could help each other out a lot in life. I should go Emily is just about to come back.

Love you all, expect presents.

JJ

JJ sent the Email and turned to find Emily standing behind her.

"What I don't get any presents?" Emily pouted, JJ leaned up and kissed Emily softly.

"Only if you're good." She smirked.
