A/N- Okay so I have had several requests to write a follow up story to "A Friend in Need," so here it is. Kelly is 18 and AJ is 15 (almost 16- say with in a month of her birthday).

Enjoy...

It was Kelly's 18th birthday and Emily and JJ had taken her out to dinner to celebrate. AJ picked out the restaurant and Kelly had approved. They had a great time and Kelly, for the first time in several months was happy. It seemed like forever since her parents had thrown her out of the house, but in reality it had only been three months. She had hoped that after her parents calmed down that maybe they would change their minds but she still had not heard from any of them, not even her sisters or brothers. JJ and Emily made sure she had everything she needed, including a lot of love. JJ still couldn't believe that they would treat Kelly like that, it's not like she had the plague or something.

After dinner and dessert, the four of them made their way towards the entrance of the restaurant. Kelly stopped on a dime when she saw who was sitting in the waiting area, causing AJ to run into the back of her.

"A little warning next time." AJ laughed. However, when Kelly did not move AJ got nervous. "Everything okay, Kelly?" Kelly didn't say anything but simply pointed towards her parents. "Oh shit!" AJ muttered.

"Amanda Jereau Prentiss watch your language." JJ scolded her daughter.

"Sorry mom, but look." AJ pointed towards the waiting area.

"Oh shit!" JJ replied after seeing Chris and Rebecca Thompson sitting not twenty feet in front of them. "Kelly, sweetie, you okay?" Kelly shook her head and struggled to hold back the tears. "Come on, you don't have to talk to them if you don't want to." JJ said as she wrapped her arm around Kelly's shoulder. Emily asked AJ what was going on and AJ pointed to Kelly's parents.

"Oh I see." Emily replied. "Come on girls, lets go home. Lets not let this spoil our evening. After all we have presents to open." Emily said as she smiled at Kelly, to which Kelly offered a weak smile in return.

At first JJ thought maybe they may make it out before Chris and Rebecca saw them but just as she reached for the door Rebecca called out to Kelly.

"Mom. Dad." Kelly replied very coldly.

"What are you all doing here?" Rebecca asked.

"Emily and JJ took me out for my birthday." Kelly replied her tears quickly turning to anger. "Or did you forget that today was my 18th birthday?"

"Of course not, you're our daughter. I would think that we would remember your birthday." Rebecca huffed.

"Your daughter? Well you could have fooled me." Kelly spat back.

"Don't cop an attitude with me young lady, you brought this on yourself." Rebecca said with anger in her voice. Chris tried to calm his wife down but was not having much luck. "I hope you're happy over there in lesbian land with you 'new family.'" JJ lunged forward as if she was going to hit her, but AJ quickly grabbed her mom and held her back.

"Strike a nerve there did I?" Rebecca smirked. JJ started to respond but was cut off by Kelly.

"You know what mom, I'm glad you kicked me out because for the first time in my life I am happy. I don't have to hide who I am. JJ and Emily love me for me." Kelly smiled as she looked between Emily and JJ, who was still be restrained by AJ. "And AJ is the best friend a girl could want. Yeah, I like girls but you know what mom there are a lot worse things I could be or do than that." That was the first time Kelly had actually admitted to liking girls and it felt like a weight was lifted off her chest. Her mother and father just stood there and stared back at her. "I'm a lesbian and there is nothing you or anyone can do about it. For once in my life I am HAPPY." Kelly told her parents. "Now if you'll excuse me, my 'new family' and I have a birthday party to finish." With that Kelly pushed the door open they all walked outside.

"Oh my god Kelly that was amazing. Not as good as grandma punching that woman in the face that one time but still pretty awesome." AJ smiled as she hugged Kelly.

"I'm so proud of you Kelly that took a lot of courage." JJ added.

"Thanks guys. I'm sorry they ruined our night." Kelly frowned.

"Ruined? Please that made the night." AJ laughed. "Now I say we go home and get some ice cream and open up some presents."

"Sounds good to me." Kelly smiled. "I really do appreciate everything you guys have done for me. I'm really proud to call you my family."

"We wouldn't have it any other way Kelly." JJ smiled. "But just remember that statement when you bring you first girlfriend home." JJ teased and Kelly groaned.

"Welcome to my nightmare." AJ laughed. "Come on lets go home." AJ put her arm around Kelly's shoulder and the four of them made there way to the car.

"Crap!" JJ said as they reached the car.

"What did you forget?" Emily asked.

"My scarf." JJ frowned.

"I'll go get it. Why don't you pull the car around and pick me up out front?" Emily said as she tossed JJ the keys to the car.

"You mean you're going to let me drive your car?" JJ teased.

"Oh hush." Emily smirked. "But if you could keep from wrecking it this time I would appreciate it." Emily said as JJ stuck her tongue out at her.

Emily walked back inside the restaurant and found JJ's scarf still draped on the back of the chair. As she was leaving she ran into Rebecca again. She over heard Rebecca telling Chris that she was convinced that it was all JJ and Emily's fault that their daughter was gay.

"We should have never let her hang out with them." Rebecca hissed at her husband.

"You do realize that being gay is not a disease that you can catch, right?" Emily asked causing Rebecca to spin around, startled to see Emily standing there.

"I thought you all left."

"JJ forgot her scarf." Emily said holding up the object in question. "I'll never understand how you can turn your back on your own child like that."

"I wouldn't expect you to understand. You and that slut wife of yours." Rebecca replied. Before Emily even realized what she was doing, her fist connected with Rebecca's face. Emily could hear the crunch of Rebecca's nose as she fell back into her husband's arms. A round of applause erupted throughout the waiting area from the patrons who had been witness to both scenes. Emily looked around, smiled and then quickly turned her attention back to the woman in front of her with the broken nose.

"My wife is not a slut. She is smart, beautiful, an amazing mother to your daughter and mine, and one of the best FBI agents in the whole country. You better remember that the next time you even think about calling her any names." With that Emily left Rebecca laying in Chris' arms.

Emily got into the waiting car and could not help but smile, but then suddenly the pain hit. She looked down at her hand and let out a slight moan.

"Everything okay?" JJ asked looking over at Emily. She glanced down at her hand and gasped. It was already starting to swell. "What the hell happened to your hand?"

"I might of, sort of punched Rebecca in the face." Emily replied quietly. "And I think I broke my hand."

"You punched Kelly's mom?" AJ asked from the back seat. Emily nodded turning to look at Kelly, suddenly afraid of Kelly's reaction.

"Are you serious?" Kelly asked.

"Yes, I'm sorry Kelly, she…"

"Don't be. I just wish I could have seen it." Kelly laughed.

A/N- So I thought that is was time for Emily to have some fun... PLEASE REVIEW!!
