A/N- Okay I have no idea how old AJ is here, so I'm just going to say that she is young (around 6 or 7).

ENJOY…

"Midnight would you please come inside!" Emily yelled from the back porch as it continued to pour down raining. However, the nine month old Border Collie had no intentions of coming inside. Come rain or shine he was determined to rid the back yard of all squirrel activity. "Damn it Midnight come inside!" Emily yelled one more time. She looked back into the empty house and sighed. Why is it I'm the only one who takes care of this dog, Emily moaned to herself. Emily had been against a dog from the start. She had never been a dog person, need had been and never would be. Oh she liked dogs just fine, as long as they belonged to someone else. So imagine her surprise when she came home one day to find one sitting in her living room.

Flashback…

"I'm home!" Emily yelled as she entered the house. "Why is Morgan's car out…" Emily did not get a chance to finish because as she walked into the living room she was stunned into silence. There on HER living room floor was Morgan, AJ and what Emily could only describe as a rat with fur.

"MOMMY! Look what Uncle Derek bought for me!" AJ yelled as she ran over to her mother. Emily desperately looked over at JJ and prayed that she didn't hear AJ right. JJ simply nodded and pointed at the puppy. Emily hoped that AJ wasn't already attached to the puppy, because that would make telling her no that much easier. "He bought me a puppy. I named him Midnight." Okay, well she's already attached, shit! Emily thought to herself.

"He did, did he?" Emily said shooting Morgan a death glare, one for which likes he had never seen from Emily before.

"Yep, he said that every little girl should have a puppy." AJ replied, if possible her grin getting even wider.

"That's great sweetheart." Emily plastered on a fake smile. "Why don't you take Midnight outside and play with him out there for a little while?"
"Okay." AJ picked up the puppy and quickly headed outside.

"What the hell Morgan?" Emily yelled as soon as AJ was outside.

"What?" Morgan replied as if that solved everything.

"You bought her a puppy?"

"A friend of mine's border collie had puppies and this was the last one and he needed a home. Come on, you can't tell me you never wanted a puppy when you were a kid?"

"No, never!" Emily spat back. "And you," Emily said turning to JJ. "How did you let this happen?"

"Me?" JJ replied. "Don't look at me. Morgan called and said that he had a surprise for AJ. I had no idea it was a puppy."

'Damn it Midnight, get inside this house!" Emily tried one last time. "Fine stay out and get soaking wet, see if I care." Emily yelled one last time before closing the door and heading over to the couch. She had just sat down when she heard Midnight scratch at the door. "You've got to be kidding me!" Emily got up and walked over to let the dog inside, only to receive a shower of water as the dog shook himself dry. Emily groaned as she stood there in the living room dripping wet. For a moment Emily pondered the idea of shooting the dog.

"Don't even think about it Emily Prentiss." JJ teased as she walked in the living room.

"Don't do what?" Emily replied.

"I can see it in your eyes." JJ laughed. "Why don't you go get dried off and I'll give Midnight his pill." Emily simply rolled her eyes.

"Leave it to Morgan to give us a dog that is allergic to grass!" Emily huffed. "I mean grass, JJ, grass. What kind of dog is allergic to grass?"

"Oh would you get over it all ready?" JJ said as she slapped Emily playfully on the butt as she walked by.

Later that night, Emily couldn't sleep so she quietly got up and went to the living room to watch television. Upon seeing Emily walk in to the living, Midnight who was in his crate for the night, began to whine. After about twenty minutes Emily couldn't take it any longer and let the dog out. Emily returned to the couch and continued to watch the television. A few seconds later Midnight jumped up on the couch and quickly snuggled himself up close to Emily.

"Oh, I don't think so dog." Emily said as Midnight let out a yawn and laid his head down on the couch. Emily took one look at the dog and sighed. "I guess that's what they mean when they say puppy dog eyes, unh?" Emily teased as she looked down at the saddest pair of eyes she had ever seen. "Okay, fine you can stay up here for but just for a little while, then it's back to the crate. Oh good lord I'm talking to a dog!" Emily said as she rolled her eyes. She continued to watch whatever stupid infomercial was on and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Emily woke up the next morning stiff as hell from a night on the couch and Midnight was still snuggled up beside her. She knew that she needed to get him back in his crate before JJ saw this or she would never live it down. However, before she had a chance to move she saw a camera flash and then a small chuckle. Shit! I'm so busted, Emily thought to herself.

"You know for someone who claims not to be a dog person…." JJ teased as Emily looked over to where she was standing.

"Oh shut up." Emily smiled.

A/N- Okay before you start throwing things at me, I am very much a dog person. I love dogs and have one myself (and yes she is allergic to grass).
