"Right here?" Declan asks.

"Yep, right there, Dec," JJ confirms.

He sets the small shrub in the designated spot beside the sidewalk. Morgan had already tilled up both sides the sidewalk. JJ and Declan are placing the shrubs beside where they will eventually be planted. Derek leans on the tiller to catch his breath.

"I cannot believe you got all this stuff delivered. I didn't know any nurseries delivered."

Emily hands him a bottle of SmartWater. "Well, there was no way dirt, mulch, and fertilizer were going in my Lexus. And there were so many plants. It's just about asking, Morgan."

JJ laughs. "And offering a bribe. Emily lies when she says she doesn't play the political game. I think I am starting to learn it pretty good, too. Turns out you just have to offer money to the workers and lo and behold: Delivery!"

Emily chuckles and looks at Morgan. "She's a slow learner. I was about to offer $50 and she blurts out $100. I have to teach her the art of negotiation or risk going broke."

Morgan and Declan laugh as JJ throws a clod of dirt at her wife. Emily grabs the post hole digger and starts to dig the home for the first shrub. Declan runs over to her.

"Hey! Let me do that. You shouldn't be doing hard work, Emily."

She smiles at him. "I can do this, Dec. Promise."

"Nope. Morgan, JJ and I will dig the holes and place the plants. You can fill the holes in. You can't get too worked up or it will be bad for Rocky."

Emily smiles and runs a hand through his hair. "Okay. I'll take it easy, Dec. Thank you." She looks beyond him and sees JJ smiling proudly at the boy.

"MAMA!"

Emily turns and sees Henry has woken up and is trying to climb out of his playpen.

"Hold on a second, Champ. I'm coming." She walks over and lifts him up. "Sure, sleep through the noise of the tiller but wake when we talk. Makes perfect sense," she says as she kisses him. She turns and sees Declan looking at her with a strange look on his face. She frowns. "Declan? You okay?"

He slowly smiles. "You used to call me 'Sport' all the time."

Emily smiles and nods. "Yes, I did."

He nods. "Cool."

He goes back to work digging his hole. Emily and JJ exchange a smile as Morgan goes to help him dig the hole to the right depth. By noon they have the shrubs along the sidewalk planted as well as two water oaks in the front yard. They were slowly making their house a home.

After lunch, they all head out back. Morgan had told Declan about playing football at Northwestern. They go out into the yard to pass a ball and run a few routes while JJ lets Henry play in his playground area. Emily, who was starting to tire easily, decides to lay down for a nap. Sergio is extremely happy about this and curls up with Emily on the bed.

All in all it is a great day for everyone at the Prentiss home.

But not everyone in the BAU family has a good day. Reid and Garcia had run into a brick wall of ignorance. Not only did they not get the team an invite, they weren't even sure the police really believed a killer was at work. Their flight home had been very quiet as had their separation at the airport.

As Reid walks into his apartment he tosses his briefcase on the chair inside the door…and then realizes he's not alone. His hand flies to his gun before he registers who is sitting on his couch…and what she is wearing.

"Hi," he chokes out.

Cindy Traina smiles at her boyfriend. "Hi. Hope you don't mind me coming over."

He swallows. "No…not at all…"

She stands, giving him a full view of the emerald green negligee she wears. "Is it okay that I slipped into something more comfortable since I haven't seen my boyfriend in over a week?"

He nods. "Ve—very okay."

She smiles seductively. "Are you going to stand there all night or come let me chase your worries away."

Reid doesn't even try to answer this time. He moves to her, pulling her close and capturing her mouth in a deep kiss. She moans as she feels the evidence of his arousal pressing through his pants. When the kiss ends, she looks into his eyes.

"Time to get you comfortable, Spencer…and then I'm going to fuck your brains out."

"Technically, you can't make someone's brains—" She stops his lecture with another searing kiss. When it ends he grins. "Well, you can always try."

She grins and steps away, their hands locked together as she pulls him back towards his bedroom.

Bad day? What bad day? Soon Reid can't even remember his name as Traina makes him forget all about his trip to California.
