It is almost 5 before the two teams finally come together in a conference room at the Capital building. Emily had been going practically non-stop for three days and it is starting to show. She leans against the wall as she addresses those gathered.

"Ken Farrelli is going to be fine. Collar bone was broken by the bullet but the doctors were able to set it. He'll be down for a few weeks but has already said he'll be happy to do paperwork until we find the other 2 parts of this cell."

Timothy Noth chuckles. "Damn over-achiever."

Everyone chuckles, knowing they'd all be the same damn way. Emily sighs.

"No deaths of civilians or LEO's. Minor injuries to a few. All in all it was the best fucking outcome we could have hoped for. I am damn proud of each of you and honored to have worked with you on this op. Trust me when I say everyone that's anyone will hear about the damn fine job you did in a very short amount of time." She runs a hand over her face. "So, my team, plan to be at the Murray address tomorrow at 9. We'll debrief everything that went down today." She looks at Hotch. "For now, we won't need you except to get your statements about what happened today. If we confirm the other two houses or take a suspect into custody can I call on you for further assistance?"

Hotch nods. "Definitely. If we're on a case we'll do what we can."

Emily nods. "Understood and appreciated. Now, you all go home, get something to eat, relax. You earned the downtime. I just wish I could give you all more than a night."

Rossi smiles. "Sounds like she's learned how to be a taskmaster from the best," he pats Hotch on the shoulder.

Emily smiles. "I hope it's not the only thing I learned from him," she says sincerely, her eyes locked with those of her boss.

He smiles. "Thank you."

Emily nods and stands up. "So, go on. Get home. Have a drink or two for Ken."

She starts to gather her things together. She glances up as JJ approaches. They had not yet had a moment alone.

"Give me a second, Jen. I want to- -"

"Emily," she says softly.

Emily looks up sharply at the sad note in her wife's voice. She studies JJ's eyes and sees the red rims from tears. She instinctively knows this is not about the day…it's about the baby.

"Oh, Jen…"

JJ can't speak. She just shrugs as the tears start again. Emily grabs her and pulls her close, fighting back her own tears to comfort her wife.

"Oh, sweetheart…it's okay. We knew it could take more than one try. It's okay, baby. It's okay," Emily just keeps repeating as her heart breaks.

"I'm so sorry, Em," JJ finally chokes out.

"Stop, Jen. There is nothing to be sorry about. If anything we can blame it on me. I put you under so much emotional stress."

JJ shakes her head. "Not all your fault, Em."

"I shouldn't have walked out on you."

JJ leans back and stares into Emily's eyes. "I wasn't upset for me. I was upset for the kids. Our kids. I…I thought our three kids. But I let you down."

Emily leans in and gives her a firm kiss. She stares into devastated blue eyes. "Jennifer, at no time have you ever, ever let me down. I swear to you, Jennifer Prentiss, you have never let me down. I love you."

"I love you, too," JJ croaks out as the tears start again.

Emily just pulls her close, trying to hug away the sadness over the insemination not taking. Emily had planned to go to the Secret Service headquarters building and start her report. But now she knows her wife and children need her tonight. And they will have her.

"Come on, Jen. Let's get our stuff and go home. I'll take care of you tonight."

JJ just nods, glad to turn herself over to her wife for the night. The younger woman did not have the energy to think anymore today.

As Emily drives south, she holds JJ's hand in hers. She lets her thumb stroke over the wedding and engagement rings.

"You were incredible today," JJ says, finally breaking the silence.

Emily shrugs. "It was a team effort."

"No, Emily, it was you. You organized the two teams, the Secret Service and the Capital police. You figured out what the bombers were doing it in time to save so many lives. You were fantastic."

Emily raises their hands and kisses JJ's knuckles. "Thank you. But I couldn't have done it without you and all the others on both teams."

JJ sniffles. "The camera's got knocked out when the guy blew himself up on the platform. Until you answered I didn't know if you or Morgan or anyone was alive down there. I was so scared."

"In all honesty, me, too. When I realized I wasn't torn up with nails and rat poison I just knew we'd played right into their plans. Everything we did was just what they expected."

JJ slowly rolls her head and stares at her wife. "You think…it was a set-up. The whole thing?"

"Yeah, I do."

JJ sighs. "You're not leaving the task force, are you?"

"Not yet. Not until this is done."

JJ smiles and squeezes her wife's hand. "You make me proud, Emily. You could consider it a job well done and walk away. A lot of people would. But you see the bigger picture."

"I have to, Jen. I have to make the world safer for Henry, Rocky and the next little Prentiss, no matter when he or she happens to come along."

"My hero."

Emily smiles. "I told you once before: I don't want to be your hero. I just relish being your wife."

"Charmer."

Emily kisses her wife's knuckles once more. "Always."

"MAMA! MOMMY!"

"MAMA! MA!"

Emily scoops Henry up into her arms as JJ lifts up Rocky.

"Hey, Champ. I've missed you."

"Batman get bad guys?"

Emily smiles and nods. "Yep. But I couldn't have done it without Spiderman."

Henry gives his mothers 2 thumbs up. "Awesome!"

The women laugh. That was new. JJ nuzzles Rocky's neck.

"When are you going to start walking, Rock Star? You worried you won't be able to keep up with your brother?"

"Love Ma."

"Ah, ducking the question. Good strategy."

Rocky gives her Mommy a big kiss on the cheek. JJ hugs her closer. Emily runs a hand down Rocky's curly locks.

"Trade, Mommy?"

JJ nods. "Sure."

The women exchange kids. Henry gives his Mommy a big hug.

"Love Mommy. Mommy Spiderman!"

"Yes, I am. But Batman was the real hero this time. I was just the faithful sidekick."

Emily chuckles. "More like the overseer, really."

JJ grins. "Yeah, you're right."

Emily kisses her daughter. "But your Mommy was awesome, Sweet Girl. Without her Batman wouldn't have stood a chance."

JJ just smiles her appreciation at the praise. Francesca finally approaches the women.

"I am thinking you all need to shower and then eat?"

Emily nods. "Definitely on the shower. And, uh, since I can't remember when I last ate probably a good idea to eat, too."

Francesca reaches for Rocky as JJ puts Henry down. "Come on, children, how about we go watch a movie while your Mommies get changed?"

"Cars?" Henry asks.

Francesca sighs. "Si, Henry, we can watch Cars…again."

Emily and JJ laugh as Henry runs excitedly into the living room to watch his favorite movie. The two women slowly climb the stairs. In their bedroom, Emily starts to undress but moans as she suddenly realizes just how sore her body is.

"Em? You okay?"

"Just a bit sore. I'm too old to be diving behind benches and trashcans."

JJ chuckles. "You just figuring that out, old woman?"

Emily smiles, glad to see the spark in JJ's eyes. "Watch it, chicky."

JJ walks over and helps Emily out of her shirt and bra. She runs her hand over a bruise along Emily's left shoulder blade.

"Damn, babe, that's gonna hurt for a couple days."

"Yeah, I know. Let's hope I don't have to lead a raid or something anytime soon."

JJ glances at her. "Is…is that a possibility?"

"There are 2 more houses out there, Jen. The papers we found confirm that. Figure 4-6 people per house. We will find them and then, yes, I'll lead a raid on them."

JJ grabs her wife's face and gives her a deep kiss. "Don't you let them win, Emily. No matter what. And don't you dare let them kill you."

Emily runs her fingers through JJ's hair. "I swear to do my best to obey both of those orders. Especially the second one."
