Emily "JJ please talk to me, you haven't said a word since we've been home. Please talk to me, please talk to me. Please talk to me baby", JJ came down JJ's face, Emily kissed the top of her head, Emily "I don't wanna see you cry but I don't want you to shut me out", JJ "I don't wanna talk. Those photos broke me, I'm scared, I'm worried", Emily "I know baby, I know baby", JJ "hold me", Emily wrapped her arms around JJ, and just held her tight. Emily "what if the kids see you like this", JJ shrugged not knowing what to say. Emily "they can't see you like this", JJ "I don't want them to see me like this", Emily "just stay here baby", JJ "those pictures are the most terrifying thing I've ever experienced. Babe I'm so scared", JJ started to cry, Emily wrapped her arms around her, JJ "what are they gonna do about this", Emily "I don't know but we are still trying to find out where the pictures are coming from. We don't know where they even came from", JJ "how did they even get them", Emily "we are still trying to figure that out my love. We don't know what's happening", Henry "mom I'm hungry", Emily "just wait in the living room I'll make you some breakfast, you and your sister. Is she awake yet", Henry "no she's sleeping", Emily "how's apple cinnamon oatmeal sound", Henry "that sounds good", Emily "come on honey, let's go get you some oatmeal, JJ can you deal with Emerson and see what's wrong with her and why she's not awake yet", JJ "yeah I've got her", Henry followed Emily to the kitchen, she opened up the oatmeal packet and poured it on a bowl with some water and put it in the microwave. Henry "is mommy okay", Emily "yeah mommy is okay. She's just got a lot going on right now", JJ went into the room, JJ "honey, it's time to wake up. It's getting late, why are you still sleeping honey", Emerson "I'm tired mommy", JJ "it's time to get up", Emerson "no mommy", JJ "Emerson come on", JJ pulled the covers off of her and realized why she didn't wanna get up out of bed. JJ "baby you're not in trouble but mommy has to clean your blankets and sheets", Emerson "I didn't mean to pee on the bed", she started to cry, JJ "baby you are not in trouble, not in any sort of trouble. But mommy needs you to get up and out of bed so I can clean all of your blankets and you princess could use a bath", Emerson climbed off of the bed, JJ took off the sheets and put them in the washing machine, JJ "you with me to the bathroom, let's go princess", the walked to the bathroom, JJ "in you go", Emerson "can you get in with me mommy", JJ "yeah just give me a second", after she grabbed her towel. Emily "Henry is almost done with his breakfast, when is she gonna have breakfast", JJ "after we get out of the shower, poor baby wet herself in the bed. She was so scared, she's didn't wanna get out of bed because she thought she was gonna be in trouble, I'm gonna get inside with her", Emily "okay".

Later that evening.
Emily "haven't had any alone time in a while, you know since we have three kids", JJ "yeah I know. What are we gonna do just sit here and talk", Emily "I mean we could watch a movie, is that something you're interested in", JJ "maybe something romantic", Emily "what were you thinking of", JJ "fifty shades of grey", Emily "you are definitely obsessed", JJ "I mean what's not to love, they are literally the cutest movie couple", Emily "I mean you're not wrong about that one. One two or three, or all three movie marathon", JJ "all three movie marathon", Emily "okay should I pop some popcorn", JJ "yes", Emily went to make some popcorn and then poured her and JJ some wine. Once they had their snacks and wine, Emily pressed play and the first film began to play. It was late when the last movie finally finished, Emily "babe, you good", JJ "yeah, just tired", Emily "I'm gonna clean this up, why don't you go get ready for bed. I'll be right there", JJ "okay", JJ left to the room while Emily cleaned the kitchen and living room. Emily made sure all the windows and doors were locked before going to the bedroom, Emily "please don't tell me you are still thinking about you know what knowing we've got the situation under control", JJ "I'm just scared. What if more pictures come to the surface, what's gonna happen then", Emily "babe we have the best technical analyst in the FBI working her magic to find out where these photos came from and why they were released", JJ "okay", the two of them headed to bed. Emily was awoken out of her sleep by her phone ringing, Emily jumped up out of bed and went to another room to answer the phone. Emily "hey", Penelope "hey", Emily "why are you calling me so late", Penelope "I am calling you because we've got a problem", Emily "what kind of problem", Penelope "more photos were released", Emily "from where, the same address", Penelope "that is what it seems like", Emily "does that mean we are in danger", Penelope "that is what that could be", Emily "I am being serious. Do I have to worry because I have three kids under fourteen in the house and a girlfriend who is scared shitless because she doesn't know what's going on", Penelope "I don't know what is happening. They just appeared on the screen", Emily "how many of them, JJ is absolutely terrified. She's so scared, and I don't want her to feel like this", Penelope "I am trying to take them down", JJ "babe why are you up? It's too late", Emily "babe just give me a minute. I'm coming back to bed, I'll be there in a second", JJ "babe don't lie to me. What's going on", Emily "more pictures", JJ "of me", Emily went silent and same with Penelope over the phone, JJ "answer me, dammit", Emily "yes of you. I'm sorry. I don't even know why this is happening", JJ started to cry. Emily wrapped her arms around her, JJ "why is this happening", Emily "I don't know baby, I don't know. Penelope I gotta go, I really need to just be here for JJ", Penelope "okay", Emily hung up the phone. The two of them went over to the couch sitting down, JJ climbed into Emily's lap, and Emily did all she could which was console her. Emily "just let it all out baby, just let it out", Emerson "mommy. Mama", Emily "hi baby. What's the matter, can't sleep", Emerson walked over to them, rubbing her eyes. Emerson "why is mommy crying", Emily "I can't explain that baby, you're too little to even understand what's going on", Emerson "I tired", Emily "let's get back to bed", the three of them headed to bed.
