Birthday Breakfast -

Emily sat up and pulled Kate up with her, leaving a hand gently placed on top of the soft blonde hair.

"So do you want to come downstairs and unwrap some presents?"

"Yes!"

Kate quickly jumped up and looked at Emily who also had a wide smile across her face, the two of them held hands as they walked down the stairs before Kate squealed with delight when she saw the pile of presents on the coffee table.

"Wow, these are all for me?"

"Yes munchkin! Come on then!"

Emily laughed as she sat cross-legged on the floor, passing the first of the five presents over to Kate, starting with the largest one. Kate started to show the traits of any excited young child as she tore away at the paper and revealed a brown cardboard box.

"A laptop! Mom it's great!"

"I'm glad you like it, it's got some extras to be added later but Aunt Pen will be able to tell you more about that!"

Kate found herself speechless as she shuffled along the floor and embraced her mom.

"Come on munchkin there's more!"

Emily shifted Kate's small frame so she was sat on her lap as Kate reached and picked the next largest gift.

"Wow, mom..."

"Shh, its fine munchkin but I get to choose which one to read first!"

Kate felt the tears well up in her eyes as she held the books in her hands.

"I can't believe this, it's so great, last night all I could remember was my last birthday..."

Kate stopped as the emotion got the better of her, she felt Emily's arms tight around her as she dropped her head down.

"Hey no tears of sadness munchkin, this is going to happy day ok?"

Kate nodded her head as she turned and looked at her adopted mother, unsurprised to see that she too had tears trickling down her face.

"So which one should I open next?"

"Well I'd continue with the size order!"

Emily laughed softly as she reached over and passed the next present over to Kate who quickly ripped the paper open and smiled widely.

"A photo frame!"

"Yes a digital one, I've loaded some photos already, I love the key ring you got me for my birthday and thought that you'd appreciate taking it whenever I go away and you sleep somewhere else."

Kate nodded as she held onto it tight, placing it on her lap atop of the other presents whilst Emily passed her the next two small presents.

"I know they are small but I thought that we could spend some time soon using them!"

Kate looked quizzically as she opened them up but as she revealed the gift cards a smile crept across her face as there was nothing the two of them liked more than spending time together and especially time together shopping.

"Thank you so much mom, I really am so happy!"

Emily held Kate tight, pleased that the tears now falling down her daughter's face where ones of joy, though the moment was quickly interrupted by a loud knock at the front door.

"Hey little man why don't you come with me?"

Emily held open her arms as she opened the door, and was pleased to see Henry giggle as he reached out towards her.

"Yes please Emily, he is getting heavy!"

JJ huffed and puffed as she passed the six month old over to her friend, her hands struggling to hold the brown paper bags as well as the two bags she had slung over her right shoulder.

"So are you moving in?"

Emily raised an eyebrow as she looked at all the luggage JJ had brought along with her.

"Most of this is breakfast Emily Prentiss as I for one know how much you can eat! Now where is the birthday girl?"

JJ quickly moved to place the bags on the dining table before she followed Emily towards the couch and saw Kate sitting on the floor looking in awe at her presents.

"Happy birthday sweetie!"

JJ swiftly moved to sit down next to the young girl as Emily and Henry sat down on the couch playing peek-a-boo.

"Thank you Aunt Jen, it is all a bit overwhelming to be honest!"

"Well if at any time it gets too much say so ok?"

Kate nodded her head as JJ embraced her, kissing Kate on the cheek as she looked around at Henry who was giggling away.

"I think that Henry and I have got something for you. Henry?"

Emily placed Henry on the floor in between JJ and Kate as JJ reached in and pulled out a small box from Henry's jeans.

"Aunt Jen, thank you."

Kate smiled as she carefully opened the box, taking in a large breath as she saw the necklace inside.

"It's...wonderful, beautiful, thank you!"

Kate stammered the words out as JJ gently picked the silver heart pendent up and placed it around Kate's neck fixing the clasp before she smiled once again.

"Now I know how hungry Henry and Emily get so are we going to eat the breakfast I brought before it gets cold?"

"Sounds like a great idea to me!"

Emily grinned widely as she stood up and scooped Henry up in her arms, running towards the table where they quickly started opening the bags up.

"Mom leave us some food please!"

Kate's tone suggested that she was the adult in the household rather than Emily as she and JJ stood up and moved towards the table, shaking their heads as Emily and Henry started tucking in.

"This is great JJ, thanks for doing this."

"Hmm you're welcome Emily, I know what to do for your birthday next time!"

JJ failed to suppress her laughter as Emily helped Henry eat yet another muffin.

"So what is happening today?"

Kate poured herself a glass of orange juice and sat next to JJ as the older woman instinctively reached out and took a hold the girl's hand.

"So Emily hasn't told you anything?"

Kate shook her head as she took another sip of juice as Emily shrugged her shoulders.

"I told you that I could manage to keep it all quiet."

Henry instantly squealed out loud as JJ put her free hand up to cover her eyes before she turned and looked at Kate.

"Well sweetie I thought that after breakfast, and you and Emily get dressed, we could all head to the park for a while, then Uncle Aaron and Jack are going to meet us for a picnic lunch before Uncle Spence is going to take you to the Smithsonian and then everyone is going to be here for a party tonight!"

Kate's eyes gradually opened wider as JJ spoke, she remembered what her mom had said earlier in the day about the team wanting to spend the weekend with her, it was going to be a great time and the first day was only just beginning.
