Annie frowned as she walked down towards the kitchen the next morning. She could smell coffee and cooking. She got even more confused when she heard a rock music station on the radio. Only her daughter listened to that channel when she was home and as if she would be up and cooking...

"Jenny?!" Annie stated in amazement at the blonde who was nodding her head to the music and dancing around the kitchen as she flipped pancakes and turned the bacon over.

"Morning Mom," JJ grinned moving to kiss her cheek, "Coffee?"

Annie stared at her daughter in surprise, "Have a woken up in an alternate reality?" she rubbed her eyes playfully.

"Haha," the blonde handed her a freshly made coffee.

"See," Annie pointed out the kitchen window at the falling snow, "You've started the apocalypse already!"

"I did a lot of thinking last night. I want to be a wife to Emily so I thought what do you do for Dad? You make his breakfast," JJ stated with a blush.

The older blonde sat down wrapping her hands around the mug with a serious yet surprised look on her face. They had made jokes to the couple about it yesterday but still, "You want to be a wife to her?"

The liaison nodded, "Sprout woke Emily up in the middle of the night kicking, which I finally felt," she beamed with emotion, "And it all just clicked in my head. I can't explain it. I told Emily I want Sprout to be my daughter..."

"I thought that was already the case," Annie stated softly with a slight frown as she sipped her coffee.

"You know I never wanted kids Mom. Emily had her doubts about my commitment, rightly so. But I'm committed. I'm so committed. When she made a joke about being my wife it didn't scare me. I actually want that," the blonde tried to explain flipping a new pancake, "I just don't really know how to go about it."

"There are no rules or guidelines to being a wife darling. It's simply as the vows state. A forever with the person you love, through anything that will come your way until the day you die." Annie took a sip and looked at her daughter carefully, "If something did happen to Sprout, if, would you stay with Emily?"

JJ looked surprised and offended at the question, "Of course I would. I would never leave her. I'd be there every step of the way and when the..." She noticed her Mom's smirking face, "Huh. Sneaky Mom!"

"I don't think you have to worry about your commitment baby girl," Annie smiled proudly, "You've always loved her. You just let fear get in the way. When you used to call and ramble on about this woman you worked with or that night when she was shot it was there plain as day to me. Just be yourself; who we raised you to be."

"Well you raised me with the skills to cook," the blonde grinned, "So I am cooking breakfast for my wife and daughter!"

"And I'm going to steal the breakfast for your wife and daughter for my wife and daughter," Sam grinned mischievously walking into the kitchen and stealing some bacon off the tray JJ was preparing.

The blonde slapped his hand away, "Hey!"

"God you two make me feel old," Annie chuckled.

"Merry Christmas Eve!" Harry grinned at his family kissing his wife before walking straight to the coffee pot.

"Mom, where did you put her prenatal vitamins?" JJ looked in the cupboards for them.

"Top right," Annie pointed as her Mom walked into the kitchen.

"Morning dudes and dudettes," Nanna Pat smiled stealing the coffee Harry had just made for himself and sat down next to her daughter sipping it.

Harry rolled his eyes and started making a new coffee.

"And can I have the ring Mom please?" The blonde asked pouring some juice for the tray.

The whole room went silent.

Sam laughed, "I'm sorry. For a moment then I thought you asked Mom for the family engagement ring."

"I did," the liaison frowned, "I know we are already married but I wanna do it again so I can actually remember doing it. She deserves to have an engagement ring. The engagement ring."

Sam looked at his sister like she'd grown another head. The biggest commitment phobe he knew was willingly settling down, "How hard did that last unsub hit you?"

"You've definitely finished skirt chasing?" Nanna Pat asked with a raised eyebrow.

"She asked me the same question when I asked for it to propose to your Mom," Harry laughed.

"110%. Unless it's Emily's skirt," JJ grinned before looking serious, "I promise to keep Jareau tradition. I intend to propose with forever and when the time comes pass it onto my child with blessing," she repeated off by heart.

"Then the ring is yours darling," Annie smiled, "With our family's blessing. When do you want it?"

"Right now," JJ breathed out nervously but with determination and excitement in her voice.

Annie nodded and disappeared to her bedroom to go and retrieve the family heirloom.

"I'm proud of you Jenny," Harry wrapped his arm around his daughter, "Remember, just breathe."
