I can't help but notice that all of my recent chapters have been filled with a ridiculous amount of sweetness... and guess what? So is this one :) I really hope you review whether you have before, or this will be your first time, because it means so much to me!
I do not own Criminal Minds
"Is your mom going to come see Jennifer?" JJ asked Emily as they lie in her bed side by side. It was Saturday morning and the two planned to do nothing all day but play with Jennifer.
"She doesn't know," Emily told her.
"She doesn't know about any of it?"
"Nope," Emily shook her head, "I haven't talked to my mother since she came to the BAU for help on that case."
"Aren't you going to tell her?" JJ asked. She couldn't imagine not telling her parents about getting kidnapped or let alone pregnant.
"I don't know."
"Please tell her," JJ begged Emily, "Jennifer is going to want to know who her grandmother is."
Emily looked into the eyes of the beautiful woman she loved and saw how important this was for her.
"Fine," Emily grumbled and grabbed her cell phone from the bed side table.
She dialed her mother's number and held the phone to her ear.
After two rings her mother picked up, "Hello." She said in her professional voice.
"Hello Mother," Emily said.
"Oh it's you. I was expecting a call from the Fench ambassador."
Of course you were, Emily thought bitterly. Everything about her mother had to do with politics.
"There's just something I needed to tell you." Emily told her mother.
"Make it quick, this line can't be tied up for long."
Emily held in a sigh and continued; nothing had changed with her mother, "Yes, well I thought you would like to know that you have a grand- daughter."
Even Emily heard how that sounded.
"Excuse me?"
"Yes. I got pregnant and now I have a daughter."
"Well, when is the wedding? Don't tell me I missed that too."
This time it was Emily's turn to be shocked. "What?" She asked.
"Well you got pregnant; I assume there will be a wedding."
"There is not going to be a wedding."Emily said bitterly.
"What do you mean there is not going to be a wedding? Does the father know?"
Emily grimaced and thought of how to continue. JJ gave her a look full of apologies.
"Mother, there is no wedding, and there will be no father." Emily told her firmly.
"How do you expect to raise this child on your own?"
"I'm not going to be on my own," Emily glanced over at JJ.
"So you are dating someone else?"
"You could say that." Emily answered.
"And they're okay that you have the child of another man?"
"Yes. They are okay with that."
"Who is it?"
"Who is what?" Emily asked getting tired of all the questions.
"Who is your boyfriend?"
Emily hadn't planned on coming this far. She wasn't ready to tell her mother about JJ yet, but she couldn't find herself to deny what was going on when she was sitting right in front of JJ.
"Do you remember JJ? She is the media liaison for my team."
"Yes. What about her?"
"That's who I'm dating."
There was a silence on the other side of the phone.
"JJ is a woman." Her mother finally spoke.
"Yes she is."
"And you two are…"
"Together." Emily confirmed.
"That is not acceptable."
"That's not acceptable? Mother I am not a teenager. I can make my own choices."
"Do you know what this could do to our family's reputation if it were to get out? What is could do to me?" She exclaimed.
"I don't give a damn what it could do to you! You either accept it or you will never get to see your grand- daughter. I do not want her to know that her grandma is a homo- phobic woman, who only cares about politics and her reputation." Emily shouted, and then hung up the phone.
She threw her phone down and put her head in her hands. She could feel her face burning up with anger and shame. But not shame about who she was dating, but shame about her mother.
A few moments later she felt soft hands massaging her shoulders. JJ brought herself close to Emily and whispered into her ear, "Thank you."
"For what?" Emily asked still continuing to keep her head down.
"For not denying our relationship when you talked to your mom." She wrapped her arms around Emily's shoulders and playfully kissed her cheek. "I like it when you defend me. It's cute."
Emily turned around and rolled on top of JJ.
"Oh is it now?" Emily leaned forward and kissed from the woman's jaw line up to her ear. She lightly touched her tongue to her soft face.
JJ embraced this show of affection and couldn't imagine how she could ever be with anyone other than Emily.
Emily moved her lips to JJ's and moved her hands to the blonde's slender sides.
JJ grasped Emily's messy brown hair and pulled her closer. Emily moved her fingers down to the hem of JJ's shirt. She slowly moved her fingers up her lover's soft stomach. JJ's skin quickly filled with goose bumps. Emily massaged her thumbs against JJ's skin and waiting to make sure it was okay.
JJ quickly agreed with her and Emily continued to move her hands up.
The two of them embraced in each other as they continued to kiss. Emily couldn't believe how great it felt to be in the arms of the woman she loved. She didn't care what her mother said, or what other people said.
This was good.
JJ and Emily had eventually been forced out of bed by Jennifer's hungry cries. After she was fed, burped, and changed they laid her down in her stroller and left Emily's apartment. Jennifer had a light pink bonnet that Morgan and Reid had picked out on her head to protect her from the sun that was shining down. Emily pushed the stroller down the sidewalk and JJ held an overstuffed bag in her hand.
They made their way down to the park and JJ pulled out a blanket from the bag and threw it on the ground. Emily tenderly picked up Jennifer and held her in her lap once she was sitting. Jennifer softly griped her small hand around Emily's fingers and blew bubbles with her spit.
JJ un- packed the bag she was holding and set the food down. She sat next to Emily and Jennifer and opened up their sandwiches. Emily ate with one hand, while protectively holding on to Jennifer with the other. The little girl basked in the sunlight and stared wide- eyed around the park. The whole world was filled with wonders she had still yet to see.
Emily kissed the top of her daughters head, "You're the best little girl there is." She whispered.
"And you're the best mom," JJ intertwined her fingers into Emily's.
However unconventional, or odd they seemed, they were a family.
I hoped you enjoyed, and would love to hear what you think! Thanks for reading :)
