The next morning Emily has just finished making Henry's breakfast when a rough looking Morgan walks into the kitchen. She chuckles and points him towards the coffee pot. He just grunts his appreciation as he pours himself a cup. He then walks over to the table where Henry squeals in delight at him.

"DADA!"

Morgan groans. Emily isn't sure if it's the hangover or the mistaken identity. She chuckles.

"Aren't you going to correct him, Morgan?"

"Would take words. Words bad. Words are noise," he states as he lays his head on the table.

Emily laughs as Henry just stares at "Uncle Morgan" in confusion. Emily puts his banana chunks down in front of him. "Eat up, honey. Uncle Morgan has a boo boo on his head."

Henry reaches his hand towards Morgan. "Boo?"

Emily kicks her friend. "Thank my son for trying to fix you or I'll bang pots together."

Morgan chuckles and looks up at Henry. "Thanks, Henry. All better now." He leans towards him and whispers. "But your Mama scares me."

Henry just giggles. "Mama!"

Emily smiles. "You'll never get him on your side. I've given him Stockholm and I'm sure as heck not sorry about it." She ruffles Henry's hair as he tries to eat his banana without getting most of it smeared on his hands and face. "Bacon and eggs, Morgan?"

Morgan nods. "Sure. Sounds good. Is JJ still in bed?" He gets up and starts to make himself some toast.

"Nope. She's…she's on her way to pick up Declan. Tom left for Germany last night so Dec is staying with us on the weekends when he wants to or doesn't have activities."

"Boarding school?"

"Yep. But it's local so on the weekends he can go home. He doesn't have lacrosse this weekend so we thought it might be good for him to meet Henry and spend time with us."

"He's okay with everything?"

Emily shrugs. "Seems to be. He called Jen last night and asked if she could pick him up so they could talk. We'll see what that means."

She slides a plate of eggs over easy and warmed up bacon in front of him as he sits down with his toast. She sits across from him with a cup of decaf coffee. Morgan dips his toast in his egg yolk and takes a bite. He looks up at Emily and smiles.

"Glad we got our shit worked out, Em."

She smiles. "Me, too. But if you cuss in front of Henry again you'll need a different kind of doctor."

Morgan laughs. "Oh. Right. Sorry about that."

The two talk over mundane things and play a bit with Henry. Yep, the ghost of Doyle was finally a distant memory for them.

JJ is leaning against her Camry when Declan comes out of his dorm. He walks up and smiles at her.

"Hi, Jennifer. I forgot to tell you that you have to come in and sign me out."

"Ah, right. Should have thought of that."

She follows him back inside, glancing around at the nice reception area. "Wow! This is definitely nicer than my dorm at Pitt."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Think…office building with beds," she jokes.

He introduces JJ to the house mother, who checks her list of approved guardians for Declan. JJ has a moment of panic. What if Tom hadn't added her yet?

"Ah, yes, Agent Jennifer Jareau." The woman looks up at JJ. "I'm assuming 'Prentiss' is your married name?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"We'll need to get that amended." She hands JJ a form. "Fill this out and Declan can bring it back with him."

"Sure." JJ knows that she had not met Tom until after she was a Prentiss. She tilts her head questioningly at the house mother. "Uh, out of curiosity, how long I have I been listed as an approved guardian?"

The woman looks down the paperwork. "Three years now."

"I see. Okay. Well, we'll see you Sunday."

The woman nods. JJ grabs Declan's backpack as he picks up his duffle bag. "Wow, Dec, this thing is heavy. What are you studying?"

"Algebra II, Chemistry, Spanish, English, World History, and Mythology."

JJ stops and stares at him. She chuckles. "Great…another nerd in my life."

He grins and follows her out to the car. Once they are settled, JJ turns and looks at him.

"So, you wanted me to pick you up so we could talk?"

He nods. "Yeah. I want to make sure you're not mad at me or something," he says, looking at the floorboard.

Her shoulders slump. This was not what she was expecting and it breaks her heart. She reaches over and lifts his head, turning it so she can look into his blue eyes. "Declan, you have done nothing to warrant me being mad at you. The sins of Ian Doyle are his alone, not yours. I was actually kind of worried you'd be mad at me."

Declan shrugs. "You saved Emily and her baby. Anyone who could do that to her or a baby is just bad. Dad and I talked a lot about that. He wanted to make sure I understood I can make my own path in life. And I know if I want to be like my father then I will be like Tom Colter."

JJ smiles. "You are one smart kid, Declan. Tell you what, if you ever want to ask me more about what happened you have a free pass to ask."

He nods. "Cool."

JJ starts the car and heads towards home. "So, I know you like football."

"Yeah! Love to play and watch."

"Ever been to a Redskins game?"

"Once. Dad got us tickets from some guy he works with. The players looked like ants we were so high up but it was still awesome!"

JJ chuckles. "Good. My mother-in-law gave me season tickets on the 50 yard line about 25 rows from the field. Think you might want to catch a couple games next year?"

"AWESOME!" He says excitedly. "So you really like football?"

"Love it! Wish I could have played it but I ended up on the soccer field instead."

"Cool. What position?"

The two talk sports the entire way home. As they walk in the house, they are still discussing the benefits of a nickel defense. Emily hears them and groans.

"Oh, God…I'm in hell…"

Morgan just laughs. He turns and can't help but stare at Declan. Had he not known the truth it would have been easy to believe the boy was JJ's son. He shakes his head. "Wow." He stands and extends his hand. "Hi, I'm Derek Morgan."

Declan shakes it. "Declan Colter. You work with Emily and Jennifer?"

"Yep. Heard you talking football. You're not going to steal my ticket are you?"

Declan blushes. "Um…maybe…if it's one of Jennifer's."

JJ wraps her arm around Declan's shoulder. "Sorry, Morgan. I'll try to make sure you both get a chance to go."

Emily washes off Henry's face and hands and lifts him up. She walks over to Declan. "Dec, this is Henry."

Declan looks at the smiling boy and grins. He looks at JJ and back to Emily. "You know, if the four of us go out somewhere everyone will think you're the adopted one, Emily."

Emily laughs. "Thanks, Dec. Appreciate that one."

"So what are the big plans for the weekend?"

Declan sighs. "I have a huge report due on the Mayan deities so I'll have do work on that some."

The three agents exchange a look. He sees it and frowns.

"Uh, is that okay?"

Emily chuckles first. "Uh, yeah. I had to give them team a crash course in Mayan deities on our last case. If you need a hand, I'll be happy to help."

He smiles again. "Cool."

"So, why don't you work on that for a while? I'll run Morgan home and maybe tonight we can watch a movie or something. Sound good?"

"Sure. Where should I put my stuff?"

"Come on, Dec, Henry and I will show you." JJ takes Henry from Emily and heads upstairs.

Emily looks at Morgan. "You okay to ride? Don't want you puking in my car."

He smiles. "Smartass. Let's go." He grins smugly. "Got me a honey tonight."

She rolls her eyes. "Ugh. You are such a dog sometimes."

He grins as she pushes him out the door playfully. From the top of the stairs, JJ smiles. It was good to see the two agents once again playing and teasing like they used to do. Life was looking pretty dang good.
