3 AM (two weeks later):
JJ's Pov:
I woke up at 3 in the morning, hearing fussing on the monitor. As I started to climb out of the bed, Emily grabbed my wrist.
"I got them, go back to sleep."
"Em, you've gotten them every day this week. I got it, go back to sleep. Please?"
With that she released her grip on my wrist and turned over to the other side of the bed we had gotten. I quietly made my way over to the nursery, when I walked in I heard Penelope fussing a bit, so I picked her out of her bassinet and walked over to the rocking chair we had in there. As I sat there and was rocking her back and forth, she started to fall back asleep. I knew she would wake up eventually so I took her into mine and Emily's room and placed her in one of the two bassinets we had in our room. Then I went back to get Nio, because whenever they were separated for too long, they would both start fussing and I did not want that right now.
I carefully climbed back into the bed, trying not to wake Emily. But as soon as my head hit the pillow, her body shifted till it was flush against mine, and she threw her leg over my waist and our legs intertwined. I smiled contentedly as my eyes shut, sleeping the rest of the night.
Emily's Pov:
I woke up at 7:30, the smell of bacon wafting through the entire house. I noticed the blankets in both of the bassinets were messed up, meaning JJ brought them both in here after she woke up to check on Penny last night. I made my way downstairs and see Jen in the kitchen cooking breakfast. I saw the twins in the nursery through the baby monitor. I wrap my arms around her waist placing a light kiss on her neck. I spun her around so her back was against the counter and place a kiss on her lips, just to say 'I love you'. I pull back a look at her eyes, the dark circles around her eye have gotten more prominent these past two weeks. I chuckle as my lips brush against hers.
"What's got you in a laughing mood this morning?" she looks at me biting her lip.
"Your eye bags" her mouth drops and she laughs a little before swatting my arm away.
"You're one to talk Emily Prentiss."
I send her a smile and kiss her once more. When I pull away, I see her face soften, I cup her face instinctively, "What are you thinking about?"
"Just how lucky I am to have you. You have always been there for me. I know this is straightforward, but I already know that you're it for me. You stick with me through everything, and I don't know what I would do without you. I can't ever thank you enough for all that you do for me, for our team, Nio and Penny. When I feel like I'm nothing, you are there for me knowing exactly what to say to make me feel better. These months that we have been together have been the happiest of my life. I feel genuinely loved. It's all I see, when I look into your eyes, no regret, no pain, just love. I couldn't ask for anything more from you, but yet you still give me more everyday. More love, more happiness, and I absolutely adore you. When I was around other people, I felt like people just pitied me; because my sister is gone, I was abducted, and because I got pregnant after a one-time date. But I never got that from you, I never had to worry what you thought about me, because your opinion on me never changed, no matter what, no matter how much I pissed you off, I was always able to come back to you, like when you left for Paris and Interpol, or when I went undercover, you came back for me when I was abducted, and I could never trust anyone as much as I trust you. You are my everything and I just am so happy that I have you, and that I know that you will support me through any decisions I choose to make."
"Jennifer, I love you so much that I would always choose you over anyone, that wouldn't even be a question, without a doubt. And you should know that I will always support you, even if it kills me." I let out a small chuckle and looked into her eyes before I kissed her once more. "And you Jennifer Jareau, are the love of my life, I wouldn't trade you for anyone in the world."
She sends me a tight lip smile. I send one back to her and pull her in, not for a kiss, but just to hold her.
"Em, babe, I think your food is done." I can't help but laugh at what she says. We made our way to the dining table with the food she made.
Halfway through breakfast I hear her mumble something. "What was that JJ?" I say while giving her a curious look.
"I said you did it."
"Did what? What did I do?"
JJ's Pov:
I looked down at the table as I bit my lip, a habit I had picked up whenever I was nervous.
"You found the real me. The part of me guarded by so many walls, my true self. The part of me I don't show to just anybody, the part that I only showed to one other person. The part of me that is broken, the part of me that just needs someone to be there. It's the part of me that is always worried a person is going to leave. But I can't picture my life without you, so thank you. For letting me show you the real me. Please promise me you won't go. Sometimes it can be hard to remember who we were, but that is something I will never forget. We were these scared kids, at least I was, who were afraid to show the world who we really were, in fear of losing people close to us, in fear of people not accepting us, afraid to show the other one how we really felt. But now that I have, I wish I did it 14 years ago. So thank you Emily Prentiss, for being my lifeline these last 14 years." I look back up at her and see tears in her eyes.
"Oh Jen, two heart to hearts in one day. I'm not gonna last," we both laugh at her joke, she said while wiping away her tears "I promise I feel the exact way, I felt the same way 14 years ago as I do right now. I promise that I'm never leaving, I will never abandon you, because I love you. I do have one question, who was the other person?"
"Roz... But it's fine, because now I have you. You, Emily Prentiss, make me feel safe, and I thank you for that."
We finished breakfast in a comfortable silence and spent the day cuddling and bonding with Nio, Penelope, and each other. I love this woman more than words can describe.

I know that this was one of my shorter chapters, but I felt this was a good place to end the chapter because it was kinda cute. Also I deleted the Spencer Reid and I am currently working on a Luke Alvez one, because one, the man doesn't get enough love, and two, I feel like this one is a lot better.
