Ok so this picks up right where Letters left off, and what I mean by that is forget about the skipping 7 years ahead, I'll deal with that later. Like two days ago I had no idea if this was actually going to work out, but now I got two chapters done and a third and forth started so we shall see how long I can keep my mind in this. Review if you wish, I do like them :).

Emily opened the door and let JJ walk in before her. As she shut the door JJ pulled her to herself and kissed her softly, laughing lightly.
"See, years of needed and yet not needed separation do a person good." Emily smiled and pulled JJ further into the house.
"Mom?" Emily yelled out not expecting her mother to be home.
"Emily I'll be right down, Jennifer was looking for you by the way."
"I know." Emily yelled back chuckling, her arms wrapped around the younger woman.
"I really did miss you Emily." JJ said, resting her head on Emily's chest.
"I know JJ, I missed you too." Emily kissed the top of JJ's head.
"Emily." Elizabeth Prentiss walked around the corner finishing the last few buttons on her shirt, looking up she smiled. "First off welcome home. Next, I thought you two would never get your shit together." Elizabeth pulled Emily and JJ into a hug. "Now I think, you" Elizabeth pointed to JJ, "Should go talk to your parents, and you" She pointed to Emily. "Should change and join her." Elizabeth kissed Emily's cheek. "Good to have you home darling." She scooted Emily passed her and faced JJ, waiting till Emily was out of ear shot before speaking. "Jennifer."
"Ma'am."
"Jennifer, that is my daughter you are going to be in a relationship with, and it's not going to be easy. You saw the fall out of Andrew's relationships. It will be twice as bad with you and Emily."
"I know,"
"Mom can you please stop scaring her?" Emily stepped down the last stair and wrapped her arms around JJ. JJ wanted to know what happened to the rough and tumble Emily Prentiss, all you ever saw her in when they were growing up was Jeans and tee shirts, even for the ambassadors gatherings she'd try to get away with jeans and tees though Elizabeth threw fits. Now Emily stood in front of her with dress slacks, a white tee shirt and a jacket. JJ felt underdressed, and all she was doing was going home.
"Ready?" Emily smiled down at JJ who just nodded and smiled at her. "Good, I cant wait to see them." Emily laced her fingers with JJ and pulled her out the door. Emily and JJ stumbled across the yard to JJ's house, smiling and chatting for the minute or so walk it took to get to the house. Emily walked to the front door and opened it letting JJ in first, before joining her.
"Jennifer, leave the door open please." Emily heard JJ's mom yell from the other room and she couldn't stop herself.
"Right mom." Emily grinned at JJ till they heard a plate drop and break in the kitchen.
"Jennifer Ann Jareau you better tell me that's Emily Prentiss you are bringing in this house." They heard JJ's mom yell, Emily took JJ's hand and walked into the kitchen.
"Hi Mom." Emily smiled, she was immediately pulled into a hug, then she was being hit with the daily newspaper. "What the hell were you thinking!" Emily thought about backing away but knew it'd do her no good, so she stood and took the beating she knew she deserved.
"Mom let me explain…"
"No!" Emily chuckled lightly only adding to the woman's anger. "Don't you laugh at me Prentiss!"
"Mom." JJ grabbed her mother's arm. "Stop, the least you could give her is a minute to talk."
"Then that's it, a minute."
"I fell in love with Jenny, and I just couldn't bare to stay here and fear pressuring her into a relationship, and losing her or you guys, you mean the world to me." Emily waited expecting to be hit again. She looked at JJ's mom and saw the gears turning in her mind.
"You should've said something."
"I already told her mom." JJ said. JJ's mother set the newspaper down and led the three of them into the living room, letting them sit. Emily settled into her normal spot with JJ cuddled into her. Emily wrapped her arms around the younger woman.
"I'm sorry for leaving, I don't know how many times I'm going to have to say it."
"Emily, it's ok." Emily looks up and makes eye contact with JJ's mother.
"I just made a mistake."
"It's a lot." Emily nodded and looked down at JJ who had fallen asleep her head resting in Emily's lap and her arms wrapped around her waist.
"She's missed you."
"I've really missed her." Emily smiled running her hand through JJ's hair.
"Don't break her heart Emily, she was lost without you." Her mother spoke softly watching Emily interact with her sleeping daughter. "It was ruining our family." That drove a spike through Emily's heart, she never meant for anything bad to happen.
"It would've happened anyway." JJ's mom assured. Emily barely nodded and slid her body down alongside JJ's, JJ's head now resting on her stomach.
"I don't plan on ever leaving you Jennifer. Not again." Emily kissed the top of her head and slowly closed her eyes, taking comfort in the woman laying on top of her. JJ's mom grabbed the blanket that was on the back of the couch covering the two girls. She smiled as she watched the two of them sleep like old times. She brushed the hair away from JJ's face.
"You'll take really good care of her Emily, just being here is doing her worlds of good."
