Andrew looked through the mail as he walked back up to the house. Not really expecting anything he was shocked to see Emily's handwriting addressing him.

Andrew,

I know mother most likely has told you by now that Emma and Jason, our siblings, are moving in with us, for a bit. I just want you to know they really need this. I'd love for you to readily expect them to our family. I know you Andrew, you'll do just fine with them.

Love you,

Emily

Andrew chuckled, Emily must've thought the letter would get home before them, and it just barely did, the flight landed an hour ago. He took the letter and hung it on the fridge next to Emily's finger painting of 'the house' she did when she was four.

"Andrew?" Andrew heard JJ's voice ring through the house. Quickly he tossed the mail aside and once again took her off her feet and into the yard. Emma and Jason had thankfully been pushed aside to avoid conflicts with the man.

"Andrew, don't hurt her please." Emily said seeing Andrew had the advantage today.

"She bit me!" Andrew yelled as JJ sat on his chest.

"I thought we promised…" Emily whined.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures." JJ said before helping Andrew up.

"They always do that?" Emma asked.

"Yes." Emily smiled. "Don't know why." Emma smiled at her.

"I know why…"

"Oh? Do you?"

"She's his person."

"Person?"

"His anchor to this world, to help him remember life out of politics. She's doubled up with you and him."

"Think so?"

"Yes I do." Emma said proudly.

"Maybe. Sam is yours…"

"Not really, she doesn't mind the politics."

"Odd."

"Why is it that we need a person to anchor us?"

"Would you want to be sucked into what our parents are?"

"Oh."

"Plus, their your best friend." Emily said, then looked at Jason. "Don't worry, you'll love it here."

"Yeah, sure getting up rooted again."

"Jason, this time you're with a huge family and you don't have to leave ever, if you don't wanna."

"I know… alright show me around." Jason smiled.

"I'll show you buddy here around, you take our young lady out." Andrew came up and said with a fake southern drawl.

"He always like this?" Jason asked.

"Yes." JJ and Emily said together.

"Oh joy." Jason said as Andrew threw an arm on his shoulders.

"Come on buddy boy." Andrew smiled. "We aren't half bad."

"You're a Prentiss, no way can you be half bad."

"We all bad." Andrew laughed, as he took Jason inside.

"So what's up kido? JJ asked Emma.

"Can we go to D.C?"

"Tomorrow?" Emily asked and Emma nodded.

"I should go home…" JJ kissed Emma's forehead before turning to Emily. She hugged her and gave her a searing kiss. "Dinner my house?"

"I'll be there." Emily grinned.

"You're welcome to come too Emma."

"Thanks JJ." Emma smiled. JJ nodded before running across the yard to her house.

"So…where's my room?" Emily laughed.

"I'll take you." Emily grabbed the bags and had Emma walk up stairs. Emma took in the deep reds and with the light calmer colors all over the house, the cherry wood and amazing details, she was amazed at how homey the house felt. Emily stopped her and pushed open a door.

"This, is yours." Emily said and Emma was shocked, the room reminded her of the room at her dad's. The walls were a light green with posters of bands and movies all over.

"How'd you know this?" Emma almost jumped into Emily's arms.

"Well I called Sam's parents…and they told me how much they love you, one, and two, gave Sam the phone to tell me what you liked. She told me you collected posters and were looking for certain ones, so I pulled some strings."

"Some strings? Gezz Emily this is amazing. Wait are those signed?"

"Yup." Emily grinned.
"Are those, original?"

"Hmm? Oh sorry yeah, that's actually Spielberg's first poster for close encounters."

"Oh man…"

"Don't get over geeked out." Emily chuckled.

"I can't believe this."

"That's also Beatles, Warped tour 05, that wall is all photo's form Sam, her parent's, Edwin, and Hilda." Emily watched as Emma walked over to the wall and looked at the photos.

"Who had the ones of my mother?"

"Edwin and Sam's family." Emily said.

"She really does look like me…"

"It's you that looks like her kido." Emily laughed.

"Did you do this for Jason too?"

"Yup."

"Thanks Emily…"

"It's all I could do to make you feel at home."

"The thing is, you didn't have to." Emma looked up at Emily. "You really didn't."

"Alright, sure, tell that to the people who did it." Emily chuckled. "Now get read to go to JJ's. Just jeans and a tee shirt will work." Emma nodded and started rummaging through the dressers.

"Then, maybe you should introduce me to your mother?"

"Hmm…" Emily looked at Emma. "Sure before we go?"

"Ok." Emma smiled. Emily led the way to Elizabeth's office. Knocking lightly on the door Emily told Emma to be very quiet.

"It's open." Emily opened the door and pushed Emma inside.

"Mother?" Emily waited till she looked up. "This is Emma." Elizabeth stood up and walked over to Emma.

"You certainly look a lot like your mother." Elizabeth said looking at her. "I'm glad you wanted to come."

"I'm glade you had me." Emma said smiling.

"We're just on our way to JJ's for dinner." Emily said and Elizabeth nodded.

"All right." Emily smiled as Emma headed toward the door. Emily followed Emma out and they headed to JJ's house. Emily opened the door and let Emma walk in.

"Mom?"

"Emily Sanders is out." Emily rolled her eyes and stood in front of Emma, then up came the huge dog and stared at Emily. Emma looked at him and smiled.

"He's just a puppy."

"That's 120 pounds." Emily said as Sander plowed into her licking her face. "Sanders off." Emma laughed as the goof of a dog tucked his tail and hid. Standing back up Emily took Emma into the kitchen. "Mom, I'd like you to meet Emma."

"Emma, so nice to meet you." Abby smiled and shook her hand. "You look a lot like Emily here."

"Prentiss gene." Emma and Emily said.

"Emily!" Merry came running down the stairs and wrapped her arms around Emma.

"Hey Marry." Emily smiled at her and the girl looked up.

"I didn't know you had a twin."

"She's just a sister, she's 16 and her name is Emma."

"Hi Emma, I'm Marry, and I'm just turning 11." Emma laughed.

"Hi there." Emma said.

"Emily, I'll be right down." JJ yelled down.

"No rush." Emily said.

"Go on up." Abby said, Emily looked at Emma who smiled and nodded. Emily headed up stairs 2 at a time. Opening the door she quickly shut it and walked over to JJ, wrapping her arms around her she smiled kissing JJ's neck.

"So I take it Emma likes living here." Emily nodded. "And Marry is down there keeping her busy?" Emily nodded again. "And my mother didn't realize I just got out of the shower when she sent you up here." Emily grinned and nodded once more. JJ turned in Emily's arms and kissed her. Emily threaded her hands in JJ's damp hair. JJ smiled into the kiss slightly pulling back. "I don't want to take this too fast."

"I wont push you." Emily smiled. Taking a step back but JJ stepped with her.

"But, I don't want to go slow either."

"Jennifer, I'm not going to ruin this." Emily said putting her hands on JJ's shoulder. JJ nodded and wrapped her arms around Emily.

"I know." Emily smiled and stepped away from JJ.

"I'll just meet you downstairs."

"Ok," JJ said looking for her jeans. "Tell Emma football at 7.

"Will do."

"And invited Jason, Andrew and… Alex." Emily laughed.

"Ok."

"Tell Andrew to bring his ball?"

"JJ…I know." Emily chuckled. Pulling her phone out she typed out a text.

Emily smiled tucking her phone away right before running into Erica.

"Shit you ok?" Emily asked.

"Yeah you?" Emily nodded.

"Football tonight?"

"Wouldn't miss it." Emily smiled and stood up, helping Erica up. "Do you know a Sam?"

"Yeah, why?"

"She called here…asking for an Emma."

"Oh, right, you need to meet my sister."

"Well…Sam's coming."

"Really!" Emma heard as she came up the stairs. Erica nodded. "Emily…"

"Don't worry she cant be here for another…" The door bell rang.

"Oh shit." Emily and Erica watched as Emma ran down the stairs like a shot.

"Sam!" Emma grinned and jumped at the young girl Emily and Erica watched from the stairs, as JJ took a seat next to Emily.

"That's Sam?" JJ asked.

"Yeah."

"Why do I get the feeling she's going to be trouble?"

"I cant tell if it's the snake tattoo or the ripped jeans and leather vest."

"Emily! Come meet Sam." Emily stood up and walked down the last few steps.

"Hey." Emily smiled.

"Hey. I know you! You played with me at a function like 8 years ago!"

"H, yah I remember that. Gezz You've grown up." Emily said.

"That's what 8 years gets ya." Sam smiled. Emily nodded as JJ came down, she wrapped her arms around Emily.

"Sam this Is JJ, up there is Erica, around here is Marry, Jason, Andrew and Alex will be over later." Sam nodded, her arms still around Emma.

"Extra plate?" JJ's mother yelled out.

"Yeah mom." JJ said back.

"Dinner's on."

So this is the longest one, yet. I started a New York flash back, not sure where its going to fit in yet. I'm going to start a new story in the next few days, either based off leave this town by daughtry or… the new skillet cd, ( cant remember the name), or a mix of the two, we'll see, if anyone knows either and wants me to do a certain song tell me.
