So...not a lot happens in this chapter, it's kind of more like a filler chapter, but hopefully it's a cute little fun chapter. But trust me, you'll love what I have next:)
Chapter Fifty Two
Emily woke up the next morning surrounded by a strong pair of arms. She felt warm and content. She looked up and saw James with his arms wrapped around her, still sleeping. She smiled up at him and placed a gentle kiss on his nose. She tried to wriggle out of his embrace, but he was too strong. She then tried to gently remove his arms from around her without waking him up, but that was proving very difficult. She was getting very agitated now, she really had to pee. James felt her movements against his skin, and opened his eyes. Emily wasn't looking at him and he placed a soft kiss on her head. She turned around and smiled up at him.
''Morning beautiful. Sleep well?'' he asked.
''We didn't exactly get a lot of sleeping done,'' she smirked.
''No, not really. But it's worth it, don't you think?''
''Mmhmm. James, can you move your arms?''
''Uh yeah, why?'' he asked, confusion all over his face as he moved and Emily hopped out off the bed, leaving him staring after her feeling hurt. Was she regretting staying already?
He sat up straight in bed and patiently waited for her to come back. She finally came back and crawled back over to him. He hesitantly put his arm around her, which didn't go un-noticed by her.
''What's wrong?'' she asked, furrowing her brow. ''Wait...you think I'm regretting staying already? James, I just went to the bathroom!'' she exclaimed.
''Oh,'' he smiled.
''James, I don't regret it. I want to stay. I really do. You know that don't you?'' she asked as she climbed into his lap. She slung her hands around his neck and he rest his hands on her hips.
''I do now,'' he smiled and stole a quick kiss off her.
''Good. Because I'd hate to have to show you,'' she smirked as she moved nearer to him. Her face was only inches away from his now, and they were both having a hard time resisting themselves. Their lips met in a passionate kiss, and Emily pushed on James' chest, making him fall back onto the bed. She smirked into the kiss and followed him down. She slid her tongue along his bottom lip and he allowed her access. Their tongues battled for dominance until suddenly Emily pulled back and stared down at him.
''What? Did I do something wrong?'' asked James, looking very puzzled.
Emily smiled down at him and shook her head. ''No, you didn't do anything wrong. It's just that first we're going to make love once more, but afterwards, you're spending a lot of time with your daughter today,'' she instructed him.
''I will, I swear. I'll make it up to her.''
''You better. She missed you.''
''I missed her too. And I was right there...''
''We all missed you James, but you're back now and that's all that matters. Now, on with the love-making...''
Emily and James came downstairs an hour later still perfectly loved-up. They held hands all the way downstairs and kissed on the bottom step before James went over to check on Jennifer. Emily was wearing one of James' shirts and he was in just a pair of sweatpants. He walked over to the cot and picked Jennifer up, the first time he did that in a few weeks. He smiled down at her and placed a kiss on her forehead.
''Doesn't that make you feel better?'' Emily asked as she gently ran a hand through Jennifer's dark hair.
''Yeah it does. I'll go feed her,'' James smiled.
''Ok, I'll go wake the other baby,'' Emily smirked, as she quickly kissed James before looking over to JJ who had fallen asleep on their couch. Her head was rest on one of her hands and she still had her suit on from work. Emily walked over to her and gently tapped her on the shoulder. JJ mumbled something before putting her head down again. Emily tapped harder and JJ's eyes flickered open. ''Morning sleepy,'' Emily smirked as JJ groaned and stretched.
''Eh. Where am I?'' JJ yawned.
''You're at my place. You fell asleep,'' Emily whispered.
''I did? And I never called Will...,'' JJ mumbled. ''Oh my suit is ruined! And I've work in like...an hour!'' JJ exclaimed loudly as she checked her watch.
''It's ok, you can borrow one of mine. Now your hair is a bit of a mess too, so how about you take a shower and I'll make some breakfast?''
''Thanks Em. Oh, how did it go with you and James?'' JJ asked.
''Well,'' Emily winked as she walked into the kitchen to make breakfast.
Half an hour later JJ arrived downstairs wearing one of Emily's suits and one of her shirts that was slightly too big on her.
''Have a good sleep JJ?'' Emily asked as JJ walked into the kitchen.
''No. My neck hurts, my back hurts and I feel like I've been awake all night. I can't believe I fell asleep on your couch. You couldn't have gone down to check on Jennifer once?'' JJ grumbled as James handed her a coffee she badly needed.
''We knew you were there and anyway we were a bit busy,'' Emily said as she handed her a plate of eggs and toast.
''Thanks. Wow, eggs and toast. So much better than cereal. With Henry I'm not allowed anything nice, it's not fair. And you were busy doing what?''
''What do you think?''
''...Oh. Well at least you're back on good terms, right? I mean, that has to be a good thing.''
''It is. Thanks for keeping an eye on Jennifer JJ.''
''No problem. She fell asleep anyway so I read a magazine and next thing I knew I was being woken up by you.''
''Aren't I a nice thing to wake up to?'' Emily smiled, as she handed James his breakfast, before filling up her own plate and joining the other two at the table.
''Eh, kind of. Oh and Emily, you have to get a new hairdryer.''
''Why? What happened to the other one?''
''It...broke,'' said JJ guiltily.
''You are so buying it.''
''Fine. So what are you doing today?'' JJ asked, hoping to steer the conversation away from the hairdryer.
''I don't know. I was hoping James could get the day off today but he can't,'' Emily pouted.
''But I'll get home early, I promise,'' he said.
''You better. You have a lot of making up to do mister,'' she said sternly.
''I know, I know. But think about it this way, it's the weekend tomorrow so you have me all to yourself for two days.''
''Two days filled with missed diaper changing oppurtunities.''
''You aren't going to let this go easily are you?''
''Not a chance.''
''So...you have nothing to do right?'' asked JJ.
''Nope, nothing,'' Emily replied.
''Then how about...you do a JJ,'' JJ suggested excitedly.
''Jen, how on earth could she do you?'' James asked, getting confused.
''No, not do JJ, do A JJ. If I did JJ...well that would just be weird.''
''And adultery.''
''Yeah. So I'm not actually going to do JJ, she wants me do A JJ.''
''Which is?''
''Oh, let me take this. When I was on maternity leave I brought Henry into the BAU to have some happy memories of the place. Since then, Garcia, Emily and I have called that ''A JJ'','' JJ explained.
''Ok...so if I have this right, you want Emily to bring Jennifer into the BAU?''
''Yep.''
''That's a good idea. You should do it Em,'' James smiled.
''You think it's be ok JJ?'' Emily asked.
''Yeah it should be fine. Hotch can't give out to you with an adorable baby in your arms. Garcia would kill him.''
''That's true...''
''Plus Jennifer hasn't seen any of the team in a while. They'd love to see her, it's a distraction from paperwork.''
''Hmm...yeah I'll go.''
''Good, now get dressed because I'm leaving in like five minutes.''
''I'm going, I'm going. James do you thing you could get a few things ready?''
''Sure, oh and Emily?'' he called after her.
''Yes?''
''I love you.''
''Aww I love you too honey!'' she smiled and disappeared.
James smiled and JJ just looked at him with her eyebrows raised. ''What?''
''You are such a kiss-ass,'' she sighed before going to get Jennifer.
''JJ you drive too slow,'' Emily frowned. They had been on the road for twenty minutes and weren't even halfway to Quantico. Jennifer was in a carseat in the back.
''Well that's because everybody is going to work and there's lots of traffic Emily. And do you know why we're in traffic Emily?'' JJ asked sarcastically, getting very pissed off at the traffic.
''Why JJ? Enlighten me.''
''Because SOMEBODY took forever deciding whether to wear the purple top or the red top.''
''It was a very hard decision!''
''Oh it was, I pity you for that tough decision. And in the end you went with the blue top.''
''I felt like wearing blue today.''
JJ rolled her eyes before resting her head down on the steering wheel and groaning. ''Ugh why can't they just go?'' she asked angrily.
''Maybe because there's cars in front of them and if they went they would crash JJ,'' Emily answered matter-of-factly.
''I was being rhetorical.''
''Oh.''
JJ lost her patience and blew on the horn. ''Come on! Move it! I gotta get to work here!'' she shouted, her voice adding to the symphony of horns and angry drivers.
''Wow JJ, I never knew you had road rage!'' Emily remarked.
''Yeah well there's a lot of things you don't know about me. Come on! You're stopping an FBI agent here!''
''JJ calm down,'' Emily advised her. JJ was getting seriously ticked off.
''Calm down? Emily I'm late for work, Hotch will kill me.''
''He'll understand.''
''No he won't. I'm always early, always second one in. Always. But because I fell asleep at yours and woke up an hour later than usual and somebody spent forever making a crucial fashion choice I'm late. For the first time in six years, I'm late.''
''It's your first time, he won't mind. That much.''
''It's not my first time.''
''It isn't? Do tell,'' Emily smiled.
''I was late on my very first day. I got lost and my hairdryer broke.''
''Hmm...it's interesting that a hairdryer always breaks whenever you are late...''
''Yeah...coincidence huh?'' JJ smiled sweetly, cursing inside that Emily brought up the hairdryer.
''What did you do to my hairdryer JJ?''
''Nothing! It broke!''
''How?''
''It...blew up.''
''It blew up? Really?'' Emily asked, raising one eyebrow.
''Yeah, it blew up. Boom, big explosion. Many people killed, big tragedy. Sad really. Let's never speak of it again.''
''JJ what really happened?''
''I dropped it in the bath ok! And it...sparked. It's still there, I was afraid to touch it.''
''Nice going JJ.''
''Sorry. But at least the traffic is moving huh?''
''I'm only letting this drop because I like you.''
''I thought you loved me.''
''You broke my hairdryer. I can't love anyone that does that.''
''I'll replace it. Happy now?''
''Very, because I've been looking at this really expensive one...''
An hour later they finally arrived at the BAU. JJ was extremely irritated and had snapped at Emily on a few occasions. She didn't have a lot of patience. How she dealt with a toddler was a mystery.
''Oh the prodigal JJ crawls in! Where have you been Blondie? Hotch is pissed at you right now, I'd watch out if I were you,'' Morgan greeted them as they walked in. JJ ignored him and went straight for the coffee. ''Oh well fine, ignore me. Hey princess, what are you doing here?'' Morgan grinned as Emily came into sight.
''I decided I'd bring Jennifer in for a while. I'd nothing to do,'' she answered as she placed the baby carrier Jennifer was in on Morgan's desk. Morgan unstrapped her and took her into his arms.
''Let's just hope we don't get called out on a case hey Jenny? I haven't seen her in ages, how's she doing?''
''She's doing good. She's starting to recognise faces now.''
''I bet she bursts into tears whenever she claps eyes on JJ,'' he smirked, glancing over at JJ. JJ caught him looking at her and glared at him. ''And how are you doing? You look great Em.''
''Thanks. I'm fine, I've got over everything that happened.''
''That's good. And...James? How is he?''
''James is better. He's back to his old self.''
''Oh good. I'm happy for you Em.''
''Thanks Morgan,'' Emily smiled. JJ arrived back over to them with her cup of coffee. ''Where's mine?'' Emily asked.
''Over there,'' JJ answered, pointing to the coffee machine. Emily glared at JJ before going over to the kitchen and pouring herself some coffee.
''Hey you're grouchy today. Usually you'd get her coffee without even asking...what's up Jayje?'' Morgan asked.
''Traffic,'' she answered curtly.
''But you always leave in time to avoid the traffic. Plus your suits looks a little too big Jayje.''
''Yeah well I fell asleep at Emily's last night and didn't wake up in time. Then Emily spent forever picking out clothes and by the time we got on the road it was rush hour. And I borrowed one of Emily's suits, I fell asleep in the one I was wearing yesterday.''
''Hmm...being late, spending the night at Emily's, bringing her into work with you, wearing her clothes...it's very suspicious,'' Morgan smirked and JJ hit him.
''What did he do now?'' Emily asked as she arrived back over.
''He thinks we're having an affair again,'' JJ answered as she glared at Morgan.
''Oh again? I thought we cleared this. WE ARE NOT HAVING AN AFFAIR MORGAN!''
''Yeah I know. I just like to imagine it in my head,'' he smirked and both women slapped him.
''Oh..that's...oh that's wrong. And to think I liked you today...give my my daughter back,'' Emily demanded.
''Ok, ok. Bye bye princess, make sure to stop off at your Aunty Garcia's before you go. She'll kill all of us if you don't,'' Morgan said to Jennifer as he handed her back to Emily.
''She's next on my list. I am not looking forward to that. Where's Reid?'' Emily asked as she looked around and saw no sign of the genius.
''Oh he's...somewhere. I think he's in Rossi's office or something.''
''Oh. He can see Jennifer then.''
''He'll look forward to it. He loves that kid.''
''Yeah, it's sweet really. Right, I'm off to Garcia's office. You coming Jayje?'' Emily asked.
''Nah, I better go talk to Hotch. Now or never right? Plus I have to work. I have hundreds of cases to look over plus I still haven't finished all the paperwork I got after the gun inquiry so I better skip it,'' JJ answered.
''Ok. I'll be in Garcia's office if you need me.''
''Sure. I'll probably hear Garcia's screaming from here anyway.''
Emily knocked on Garcia's office door with her left hand, holding Jennifer in her right. As usual, Garcia answered with a chirpy, but rather odd, greeting.
''Enter my mere mortal! The tech goddess of Narnia awaits your arrival!''
Emily opened the door and stepped inside. ''Uh, hey Garcia. I see you haven't changed since I've seen you last,'' Emily smiled as Garcia spun around in her chair and faced her.
''I have not but she has!'' Garcia squealed as she pointed at Jennifer. ''Oh she's gotten so big...can I hold her?''
''Of course, here you go,'' Emily said as she handed her daughter over to Garcia.
''Oh well hello missy. How's my little JenJen been? You've grown so much, it's like you're on steroids. Have you been slipping steroids into her baby mush EmPrent?'' Garcia asked her suspiciously as she narrowed her eyes.
''No! Babies just grow like that. And EmPrent? Where did you get that from?''
''Em-Emily. Prent-Prentiss. EmPrent. Get it?''
''I do...now.''
''I like it. It is your new nickname, whether you like it or not.''
''I don't really have a choice, do I?''
''No you don't. So why are you in here?''
''I had nothing to do, and JJ was going to work anyway so she took me with her.''
'''Wait...JJ was going to work...nothing to do...JenJen...Chocolate Thunder God...I'm confused.''
''JJ fell asleep on my couch.''
''Aww. That's just adorable. You should have taken a picture, did you take a picture, why didn't you take a picture?''
''Uh I forgot,'' said Emily sheepishly.
''Hmm...I'm not going to give out to you with my little JenJen here...you're lucky EmPrent.''
''Yeah. So anyway, I fixed it with James,'' Emily said, changing the subject.
''Oh that's great! I'm so happy for you guys, I was missing my OTP.''
''OTP?''
''One True Pairing. God Emily, I thought out of all people you would up to date with all things wonderful internet slang wise.''
''Did you make that up?''
''I did not! Although I have a supreme amount of genius, some other genius seized it before I could lay my hands on it. Alas, I must hack them...''
''Garcia you have anger issues.''
''Wash your mouth out! I'll have you know that I enjoy revenge, that's all. So anyway I want all the goss from the make-up.''
''Well, it happened last night. I...was going to leave him but JJ talked to him and he stopped me and we uh...spent the whole night having sex.''
''Oh my dark-haired superwoman, I am so proud of you! And I hope you didn't give in too easy, we don't want you seeing slutty.''
''I took off my engagement ring, that hard enough?''
''That might have been too hard sugarplum, but it's adequate. So, how was the make-up sex?'' Garcia grinned. ''It's a good thing JenJen's asleep.''
''Yeah, it is. Well it was...''
''Come on Em, you can talk to me. I'm your best friend Penelope remember?'' Garcia said as she batted her eyelashes.
''AMAZING! God it's amazing how over a month without sex really makes you appreciate it. We did it seven times,'' Emily boasted.
''SEVEN? God the two of you were at it like rabbits! I wouldn't be surpised if we had another little baby on the way soon!'' Garcia exclaimed, taking care not to get too excited and wake Jennifer up.
''Well I don't know about that...''
''Do you want another kid?''
''I wouldn't say no.''
''Yes or no EmPrent. Answer vaguely and I will ruin your credit score.''
''You wouldn't.''
''Just try me.''
''Fine. I would like another kid, but I don't know how to say it to James.''
''Hmm...now that is a dilemma. I'll start off by saying yay, another bundle of joy for me to spoil, and second, I have the perfect plan! So tonight anyway you'll probably have sex again since you haven't had it in like a month and I swear there's traces of a whore in you EmPrent, so what you do is seduce him, look amazingly sexifying-''
''Sexifying? And I am not a whore!'' Emily interrupted.
''I never said you were. I said there were traces. And sexifying is a word! It should be anyway! So on with the plan. Make him completely fall over you. Do everything for him, and I mean EVERYTHING if you get what I mean.''
''Yeah I do. Please don't go into detail.''
''Ok so what you do is fake orgasm but makes sure he does get his, so when he's basking in the orgasmic afterglow and is willing to do anything after everything you do for him BAM! You baby strike him!''
''Isn't that a little devious and scheming?''
''Ask the Omniscient Penelope Garcia, Tech Goddess for a plan and all you'll get is devious and scheming.''
''Yeah you're right. So will it work?''
''Oh Emily honey, how do you think I got Kevin to buy me these?'' Garcia asked, showing off her earrings.
''So it actually works? Thanks Garcia, I'll use that.''
''Thank me how you see fit.''
''Godmother?''
''Adequate.''
''Great. Now I gotta take Jenny to see her godfather and maybe Uncle Reid. See you Garcia,'' Emily said as she took Jennifer from Garcia and made for the door.
''Adios my little sunflower, Aunty Garcia misses you already. You too EmPrent. And I expect to help in the name picking process!'' Garcia called after them.
''Sure! Just don't suggest Xena again!''
''Fine I won't! Maybe Amphyctyonis instead!''
Emily walked back into the bullpen wondering who the hell Amphyctyonis was. Or how Garcia managed to say it. It was a mouthful. Although it was an interesting name...
Suddenly she saw the perfect person to ask about it. Spencer Reid. He had arrived back to his desk so Emily walked over to him. She took the chair in her desk, directly across from his, and pulled it over to his desk.
''Oh hi Emily. What are you doing here? Oh hey Jennifer, my you've grown,'' Reid smiled as he saw them.
''Hey Reid. I just decided to come in with JJ and bring little Jenny along with me. So how's things?''
''Not too bad. I actually read this really fascinating book this morning about turtles that you'll really want to-''
''That's nice Reid. Look, I need to ask you something. Who is Amphyctyonis?''
''Amphyctyonis was the Greek Goddess Of Wine and Friendship Between Nations. Did Garcia say that to you?'' he asked.
''Yeah she did. How did you know?''
''She's been reading up a lot on Greek Goddesses. They're her new role models. Although some Greek myths are quite disturbing. Take the one of Agdistis for example. It began when Zeus had a wet dream and ejaculated on Gaia, which is the ground. Gaia got pregnant and Agdistis got pregnant. Agdistis was born a hermaphrodite, and this intimidated the gods who feared she'd take over the world so they cut off her p-''
''Ok Reid that's enough!'' Emily interrupted. She'd no idea Greeky mythology was that twisted.
''If you'd let me finish you'd never eat almonds again.''
''I really don't want to know.''
''Hmm probably not. Did you know arsenic tastes like bitter almonds?''
''No...I don't like almonds, guess I'll stay away from the arsenic then...''
''It's probably better. Arsenic can-''
''Reid.''
''Sorry. So why did Garcia say Amphytyonis to you?''
''Baby names.''
''Are you pregnant again?''
''No, I was just saying I wanted another child and she started coming up with baby names.''
''Oh, that's good. You're lucky she didn't suggest Aphrodite.''
''Why? Isn't she like the Goddess of Beauty?''
''She's also the Goddess of Prostitutes.''
''Oh. And you would know that being the prostitute magnet you are.''
''I don't why they like me...''
''They can smell fear.''
''Really?''
''No! Listen Reid, I gotta take Jenny to see Rossi, so I'll talk to you soon ok?''
''Ok, nice talking to you Emily. You too Jennifer.''
JJ took Emily home at lunch after she had talked to everybody a few times and Jennifer was tired anyway so she needed sleep. Emily was surprised that James arrived home an hour after she did, but she was happy to see him regardless.
''Hey honey, you're home early. I hope you didn't skip work for me,'' she said when he walked into the living room and placed a kiss on the top of her head.
''Course not. Just finished earlier than I thought I would. And I missed you anyway,'' he smiled and joined her on the couch. ''So how did Jennifer enjoy her time in the spotlight?''
''She loved it. She's exhausted though. She'll be asleep for a while.''
''Really?'' asked James, raising an eyebrow suggestively.
''Really. What are you suggesting James Slade?''
''Let me show you.''
''Wow. That was...wow,'' James said as he fell back against the bed.
''I know right?'' Emily smiled as she rest her head on his chest. Suddenly Garcia's words came flooding back to her. Now was her chance, get him while he was weak.
She opened her mouth to speak but was stopped by James. ''Emily, can we talk?'' he asked her.
''Sure honey, what about?'' she answered as she sat up.
''Well this might be a bit soon but I've been thinking about it for a while. I...I'd really love to have another child.''
''Really?''
''Yeah. I love Jennifer so much, and I know I have more love to give so another child would be perfect. I know you mightn't be ready, but if you are...''
''James I'm ready. I want this. I really want this.''
''Great! So we'll start trying soon?''
''As soon as you want. In fact...I'm pretty sure I'm ovulating.''
''Then what are we waiting for?''
