Emily was already in bed when JJ returned.

"Is she asleep?" Emily asked.

"Not yet, but almost." JJ said.

"Come lay down." Emily said.

JJ smiled and got into bed next to her girlfriend.

Emily immediately wrapped her arms around JJ's stomach and held her close.

"We have to find a living relative." Emily said out of the blue.

"Yeah." JJ agreed, looking at Emily.

"What do you think happened to her mother? Do you think she's still alive?." Emily asked.

She looked over at JJ.

"I don't know, what do you think?" JJ asked.

"I don't know, she might be alive, but she also might not be." Emily said.

"Yeah." JJ said sadly.

"We'll find out tomorrow." Emily said.

"Yeah, we'll find out tomorrow." Emily suggested and JJ smiled.

"Yeah, but we should ask Taylor first." JJ said and Emily agreed.

Emily kissed JJ's lips softly.

"Night, Jay."

"Night, Em."


"No! Stop! Please! No!"

Emily and JJ woke up and immediately headed towards the guest room.

Emily stayed by the door while JJ went over to the bed where the young girl was in the middle of a nightmare.

"Taylor. Tay! It's okay, you're alright. Wake up honey." JJ said as she shook Taylor's shoulders.

"NO! STOP!" Taylor cried in her sleep as she continued to toss and turn.

"TAYLOR! WAKE UP!" JJ said louder this time and more desperate.

Taylor sat up straight breathing heavily, with sweat glistening across her forehead.

"Where is he?" She asked desperately.

"He's not here, honey. It's just me and Emily, no one else, okay? Nobody's going to hurt you anymore." JJ assured.

Taylor looked around the room and finally nodded.

"I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean to wake you up. I'm so sorry." She apologized.

"You don't have to apologize for having a nightmare." JJ said.

Taylor sighed.

"Do you want to talk about it?" JJ asked.

"I-he was-he was-" Taylor's voice cracked and she started crying.

"Shh, it's okay. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, okay?" JJ assured.

Taylor nodded. "Okay, what time is it, anyways?"

Emily looked at her watch and spoke for the first time. "It's 6:45."

Taylor looked at Emily. "Thanks, what time do you guys usually get up?"

"6:30, but looks like we slept a little bit more today." Emily said with a smile.

"Yeah, until I woke you up." Taylor mumbled.

"Don't do that, Tay." JJ said.

"Do what?" Taylor asked confused and with a little fear.

"Blame yourself for everything. It's not your fault you had a nightmare, okay? It's normal to have nightmares after going through something traumatic. Emily and I get them too because of our job. It's nothing to be ashamed of, sweetheart."

Taylor looked at her. "Really?"

"Yeah, really. Everybody has them at some point." JJ said.

Taylor sighed.

"Well, I'm going to make breakfast, do you like chocolate pancakes, Taylor?" Emily suggested wriggling her eyebrows in a funny way.

Taylor laughed. It was delightful, since they had yet to hear her laugh.

"Sure." She replied.

"Who on this earth doesn't like chocolate pancakes, Em?" JJ teased.

Emily just rolled her eyes. "Oh please, there must be someone who doesn't like them." Emily replied.

JJ laughed and shook her head.

"I'll help you out, Em, before you embarrass yourself with burnt pancakes." JJ teased.

Emily looked at JJ pretending to be offended.

"I do know how to cook, and my pancakes do not get burnt! You're only jealous cause you can't make them better than me!" Emily said as she stuck her tongue out like a child.

By now they had reached the kitchen and Taylor was looking amused at the two agents.

"Jealous? Really? Oh please, I can cook a lot better than you!" JJ replied, sticking her tongue out, imitating Emily.

Taylor now had a raised eyebrow and was laughing quietly at the two.

"Can-can I help?" She asked hesitantly.

"Sure, come on. We'll show Emily what it takes to be a good cook." JJ said as she winked at Taylor.

"Oh come on, that's not fair, that's two against one." Emily pouted.

"Why don't we do it together instead of against each other?" Taylor suggested, hesitantly.

Emily raised her eyebrows and JJ smirked.

"I think we can manage that, right Em?" JJ asked.

"Yeah, I think we can manage that." Emily agreed.

Taylor smiled.

They got the ingredients and started making the pancakes before sitting down to eat them.

"Taylor, we need to ask you something."

A/N: So what do you think happened to Taylor's mother? Do you think she is dead or alive?
