That was cute.

I don't like grilled cheese but it fit the story.

Just adorable. Thanks for sharing.

Very cute story! I could see Joe doing this in canon.

Wait! How did I miss this? I need to get you on my author alert, which I just did right now! Cute, cute story, Emily. You have such a flair for taking simple things and turning them into fun moments. Thank you!

Cute story!

What a sweet story! Great job!

Sigh.

I'm so glad they belong together.

The 6-year-old girl is finally with the 8-year-old boy who fingered her in his dad's garage.

Yay

How lovely.

Awww, so sweet!

Ahh grilled cheese, the cure for anything...

"I'd been tossing and turning for the last couple of hours, trying to keep my fidgeting to a minimum to avoid waking Morelli. He was sleeping like a log, wrapped up under the covers with his head peaking out. He looked so peaceful and so contented that I was beginning to think that I should sneak out to the guest room. If I kept fidgeting, it would only be a matter of time before he woke up. Not that he'd get angry—he'd probably suggest that we have more sex—but I felt strangely protective when I saw Morelli in sleep mode."

I liked that part really well. Morelli sounds so adorable sleeping like that. hehe. I love how Stephanie is protective of him when he's sleeping. :D hehe. It's just so... "Awwwww..." :D

This was such a sweet story. But you're right it did leave me hungry for the grill cheese and the hot chocolate! I loved how Joe found something from his childhood to help her sleep. I have to go make lunch now, I hope I have cinnamon. Great Job!

This was such a cute story! I love how you depict Joe and Stephanie in all of your stories. It is always sweet to see how Joe cares for Stephanie and this story showcases that really well. I also like thinking that Joe has some good memories of his childhood.

Cute story! Loved it!

What a sweet one shot! I can see Joe doing something like that for Stephanie. Nice job.
