The nursey was done. Emily and JJ finally finished the last thing. JJ was able to built the crib with out having to call anyone for help.
"See babe I told you I didn't need any help to built our daughter's crib." JJ couldn't be any prouder.
"You've been building this since I was seven and a half months pregnant" Emily reminded her. "and Rosaline her is coming any day now." JJ pouted.
"No need to burst my bubble." The blonde said. They left the pink colored room and went to their room. The two woman had a long day and needed sleep. JJ managed to go to sleep but Emily didn't she turned and groaned.
"Rosaline mi vida porfavor go to sleep." Emily complained.
"Em baby are you okay?" JJ asked when she felt Emily moving. Emily mumbled a yes. "Emily you're not fine your complaining every ten five minutes." JJ sat up at the realization. "Emily you're in labor!" Immediately she stood up and began to change. She helped Emily up and they where out of the house.
"Do you have the dipper bag?" Emily asked. JJ no and began to lead Emily to the car but Emily refused.
"Babe what's wrong?"
"The hospital is two blocks away we can walk." JJ didn't argue and just listened to her girlfriend. The walk took the women about 40 minutes with the breaks they took every time Emilt had a contraction. Stepping inJJ began to yell for assistance. Immediately they we taken to the labor and delivery room. It didn't take long for their daughter to arrive.
"Miss Prentiss here you go." The doctor said handing Emily the little girl. Emily felt tears going down her cheeks as she looked down as she looked up to meet JJ's blue eyes.
"She's beautiful." JJ whispered, sitting down next to Emily. She planted a kiss one Emily's forehead. This was perfect JJ was complete her life was perfect with her girlfriend and their daughter.
"Marry me?" JJ asked.
"Yes." Emily said as she used her free hand and pull JJ into a kid.

Emily watched as Blake slept on the bed of her apartment. Blake had been released from the hospital two weeks ago and Emily couldn't find it in her heart to go back to London. JJ still didn't remember and Emily still didn't tell her.
"You okay?" Asked Derek.
"Always." Whispered Emily. Derek knew it was a lie and stood next to the woman. "When she was small," Emily began to say "me and JJ would watch her sleep for hours the first three weeks we got to take her home." Emily's tears fell at the memory. Life was great but it has changed. Many things had changed. If life was perfect her and JJ would still be together, their daughter would have never gotten kidnapped, and maybe Michael and Henry would be their kids and not JJ's and Will's.
"So now you've been doing the same thing because..." Emily knew that Derek was trying to get her to admit that she was somehow in pain but Emily wasn't going to be admitting to that anytime soon.
"Foods ready!" Shouted Dave from the kitchen. Everyone gathered around and began to take their seat. Small talk went on around the table until a noise a was herd from the room where Blake was sleeping. Emily instantly ran over to check and chuckled when she noticed it was the boy. Emily walked over and carried him out of the room to table where everyone else was.
"Wesley you hungry sweetie?" Emily asked the child who just gave a small nod. Wesley wasn't much for speaking in the two weeks Emily had only herd him say the word mom. Dave passed a plate with food for the boy. Emily hadn't only gotten her daughter back but also two beautiful grandchildren. The only thing that pained Emily was knowing that some pervert violate her daughter and left her with two precious little kids. The team had found evidence in the cabin that consisted of photos and videos. None of which Emily was allowed to see and also JJ wasn't allowed to see because the team said she was a mom and didn't deserve to see the horror of what happened tp those girls. JJ didn't fight them she had enough bad sightings of what had been done to kidnapped victims and in this case one of the victims was the lost daughter of her best friend. JJ was frustrated with herself she felt like if there was something she could do for her friends but every time she asked Emily would say she needed nothing.
"I'll get it Em." JJ stated when a knock came from the door. JJ opened the door to be meet by a redhead. "Can I help you?"
"Yes I am looking for Emily Prentiss." The woman asked. JJ didn't invite the woman in but the woman let herself in when she saw Emily putting a little boy down. The woman rushed over to Emily and pulled her into a kiss. JJ boiled with jealousy but she didn't know why. She really needed to remember everything so she could understand what was going on.
"Mai?!" Emily said after the kiss. "Babe what are you doing here?" Emily had missed the redhead woman. Mai and Emily have been together for about eight months and things had been going great. Emily couldn't say she had gotten a certain blonde out of her heart but she could say that maybe her heart was big enough to let Mai in.
"I come her on business not pleasure honey." The team watched the two women and also JJ who didn't notice her jealousy could be detected from space. They met when Emily began to foster Lindsey. Mai technically was Lindsey's social worker.
"What's going on Mai?" Looking at Mai's actions Emily knew that the news to come were bad. This could only mean the Emily's heart was going to break no matter what.
"Lindsey's father you know about him right?" Emily nods. "Well he was an army solider and her was pronounced dead but five days ago a team was rescued from a place that I wasn't told. Only two survivors and among those two men one was Lindsey's father and he hasn't stopped asking for her since he was rescued." Emily didn't know what to say. She was told that Lindsey's father was dead that the man died on a mission. He died a hero. Her daughter grieved for him many nights. She watched her daughter go through an indescribable pain that a year later turned out to be nothing but a lie. How was she going to tell her and how was this going to affect their life.
"What does that mean for me?" Emily was afraid of the answer she might receive but it was better just to get it over with.
"Emily he was evaluated he's in perfect mental health and is healing from a few wounds but besides that he's fine." Mai explained. "Emily lets not beat around the bush honey. He wants his daughter and he has the right to take her, he wants to have his daughter." Emily didn't know how to take the news she had just got a daughter back and now she was going to loose another but in this case she knew it was the right thing to do. Lindsey deserved to be with her father just like JJ deserved to know that Blake was theirs. Emily sighed it took having to let go of her other daughter to find out. She would tell JJ but first she was going to have to talk to Lindsey and take her back to London herself them she will talk to JJ and tell her the whole truth.
"I will come with you to London and give her myself to her father." Emily told Mai.
"I wouldn't have it other way." Mai spoke softly kneeing very well that Emily's heart was breaking. Everyone in the room was well aware of that. Mai let Emily walked away in the eight months with the brunette she learned Emily never let anyone see her in pain. JJ on the other had followed Emily she knew Emily would put up a strong cover only to cover the the truth. JJ closed the room door and locked it. She walked to Emily and without say anything she pulled Emily into a hug.
"Jay I'm fine really." Emily said more for herself. JJ ignored her tighten her grip on Emily's waist. Emily dropped to the floor and JJ did too.
"Shh it's okay." JJ whispered. "I've got you." JJ held her friend tight. Emily's tears finally stopped she needed the hug that had just been given to her.
"Can you stay with Blake while I go to London?" Emily only asked because she knew if she took Blake with her she wouldn't return, leaving Blake here meant she would return to Virginia and tell JJ everything that she didn't remember. Emily was doing this for her daughter it was the right thing to do.
