Two month later, they had become Riley's temporary foster parents and were planning on adopting her. They had caught Riley's abuser, her father's friend and had put him in jail.

There was a knock on the door, making JJ snap out of her thoughts.

She opened the door and was happy to see it was Riley's social worker.

"Hi, Mrs Bishop, come in. How are you?" JJ greeted politely.

"Hi, agent Jareau, I'm good, and yourself?." Mrs Bishop greeted back.

"I'm great thanks, have a seat." JJ said motioning towards the couch.

The social worker took a seat as JJ did the same.

"Well, I have great news." Mrs Bishop said with a smile.

JJ smiled back before the social worker continued.

"Well, I have talked to a judge and you, agent Prentiss and miss Anderson will have to be in court tomorrow morning at 9 am for the hearing on the adoption." Mrs Bishop explained.

"Okay. And how long will the process take?" JJ asked.

"Well, since you're both agents and agent Prentiss is the ambassador's daughter, things will speed up a little. The process will actually only take two weeks." The social worker said.

"Really?" JJ asked in disbelief.

"Yes. Where is agent Prentiss and Miss Anderson?" Mrs Bishop asked.

"Oh, they left 10 minutes before you arrived. They went to the park for a walk." JJ replied.

"Well, it looks like it's up to you to tell them the good news." Mrs Bishop said as she started to get up from the couch as JJ did the same.

"Well, thank you for everything, Mrs Bishop. We appreciate it." JJ thanked her as she opened the front door.

"You are very welcome. I know you two will be great parents and that's exactly what miss Anderson needs. Have a nice day."

"You too."

And with that, the social worker was gone.

JJ immediately grabbed her phone and dialed Emily's number.

"Yeah, JJ?" Emily answered.

"Hey, can you guys come home?" JJ asked.

"Yeah, sure. Is there something wrong, Jen?" Emily asked.

"No, no. It's good news, I'll tell you when you get here. Bye, love you." JJ said.

"Alright, love you too." And with that they hung up.

A few minutes later, JJ heard the door unlock and in came Emily and Riley.

"Hey, what's up?" Emily asked.

"Hey, guess what?" JJ asked excitedly.

Riley and Emily looked at each other before looking at JJ again.

"What?" It was Riley who asked curiously.

"The adoption hearing starts tomorrow. We have to be in court by 9 am tomorrow." JJ said with a smile.

Then, Emily and Riley grinned too.

"Really?" Riley asked.

"Really." JJ confirmed.

"Good, and I have more good news."

"And what's that?" Emily asked.

"Well, thanks to our badges and to your mother's good name, the whole process will only take two weeks." JJ said.

"Really?" Emily and Riley asked, laughing as they realized that it was exactly at the same time.

"Yeah, really." JJ smiled.

"Well, we need to celebrate. I'm taking you two out tonight for dinner." Emily said smiling.

JJ and Riley smiled, accepting the offer.

"Well, how about we make some lunch?" Emily suggested.

"Sure, I'm hungry." JJ said.

Riley smiled and nodded.

Riley still felt a bit nervous around them, but it was getting better, and the nightmares were less frequent now. They knew that eventually, she would be okay.
