Four

                                    

                                          
When Emily woke up she immediately separated. It woke up JJ and Emily started freaking out. "Jennifer I am so sorry. I shouldn't have let that happen. I'm sorry." She said. 
                          
JJ sat on her knees and tried to calm her down. "I'm fine, you're fine. We didn't do anything wrong." 
                          
"Yeah I know. I just feel guilty." And it was true. She wasn't guilty they fell asleep, she was guilty she loved it. Why does she love it when she has a boyfriend? And JJ's married. 
                          
JJ pushed it off and the pair left for the plane. Emily felt sick to her stomach, her feelings have never been this visible. She has always been able to hide them, but what changed?
                          
The team stayed awake the whole flight until landing. Luke suggested getting breakfast and they met at Perkins. 
                          
After enjoying a very filling meal, the team split to go home. JJ drove home but no car was in the driveway. She walked in and the neighbor was babysitting. 
                          
Michael got up from the couch and ran to her. She picked him up and paid the babysitter. Will had the Saturday shift so she got the day with the boys. 
                          
They had already had breakfast so they went straight to the park. Henry always loved going on runs with her, Michael not so much. JJ loved holding him during a run, it made it more work. 
                          
The park they go to is a short walk so JJ got to hear about their week. Henry, while loving his art classes, failed a math test and Will was helping him study. 
                          
Michael on the other hand, was making all kinds of friends at school. He got to play with them everyday at recess. As soon as he stopped talking, Henry asked about JJ's week. 
                          
"Well." She said. "It was busy. I got to spend time with aunt Emily and we caught the bad guy." Whenever talking about work, JJ chose her words carefully. 
                          
One time when she was explaining a case, Henry started getting anxious about her job. She let it slip that she was chasing an unsub down and he got scared. Now she only ever uses nice words. 
                          
The got to the park and the boys went to play for a bit while JJ called Emily. She couldn't help but feel bad for what happened. After all, it was both of them in that bed. 
                          
"Em, I just wanted to say everything is good here." She said into the phone. Emily, on the other line, took a deep breath. 
                          
"That's good." She said. JJ could sense something was wrong and asked about it. 
                          
"I did it. I told Andrew and we broke up." Emily said. She made it seem small but it was still something. JJ called the boys over and they left to go cheer her up. 
                          
"Now Emily loves chocolate cake. But what color frosting do you want?" JJ asked the boys. She drove them to the store and we're going to make Emily a cake. At her house. 
                          
They decided on red and left for Emily's. She only got a knock at the door before they burst in. Her jaw dropped at the sight of 3 small blondes with shopping bags in her living room. 
                          
"Mommy said you were sad and we wanted to make you feel better." Michael said. Emily pulled the boys into a hug and looked at JJ. The boys ran into the kitchen to get everything ready, they've baked at her house before. 
                          
"Thank you. For spending your boys day with me. I'm sure it wasn't your plan." Emily said. JJ shrugged and smiled. "It wasn't but I love spending time with you three." She replied.
