Jemily One Shots

Bedtime

*CUTE AND LOVING*

*NO SPOILERS FOR THE SHOW*

*MADE UP CASE*

*POV JJ, EMILY, AND NARRATOR*

"Ollie! You get back here you little stinker!" Emily laughs as she chases her son around the house, "It's time for bed. It's almost 10:30!"

Oliver dances around in his train printed pajamas, "But I'm not tired! 5 more minutes. Please!"

"I already gave you and your sister 5 more minutes! Now it's time to go to sleep. You two have school tomorrow," Emily winks at JJ as she picks up Ollie and sets him on her shoulders.

JJ gets up from the couch to help put the kids to bed, "First day of kindergarten! Are guys excited?"

"Will they have trucks?" asks Ollie

"Of course they will have trucks! So many that you can share with all of your friends." Emily replies.

"I'm scared to make friends mommy," says Violet in her soft voice. She's already half asleep and stumbling into JJ's arms.

"Oh, sweety. You got this. You don't have to be scared! You are going to have so much fun!"

JJ and Emily carry the kids into their room and set them in their beds. Violet pulls a storybook from a nearby bookshelf and hands it to Emily, "Can we read this one tonight?"

"Sure sweetheart. But only one okay? It's already past your guys' bedtime," Emily takes the book from Violet's little hands and starts to read it aloud, "Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. Once upon a time," she begins, "there was a girl who was being held by an evil queen."

JJ sits back in the rocking chair next to Emily and rubs her back as she admires her family. How am I so lucky? I'm with the woman I love. We have 2 beautiful children. Stable jobs working together and saving lives. What more could I ask for? This is truly amazing.

Emily continues the story, "but then she found herself lost in the woods! She had no idea where she was or how she was going to find help. That is, until she stumbled upon a small cottage in the middle of the tall trees," she looked up at Violet who rubbed her eyes trying to stay awake, and then at Oliver who was curled up in bed with the sheets over his head. He never liked the books Vi picked out.

"Are you sure that you don't want me to stop and you two can go to sleep?" Emily asks, "You seem pretty tired,"

"No! You have to finish the story!", Violet says sitting up in bed.

"Okay! Okay! I'll keep going! But only if mommy helps me," Emily looks back at JJ who smiles and takes the book from her, "Snow White entered the cottage and found that no one was home. She was very tired, so she found her way to the bedroom and found 7 beds all lined up next to each other," JJ smiled as she read.

Emily stood up to check on Ollie who was still under the covers. I love these kids so much. I love her so much. She looked over at JJ who was still reading the story. How am I so lucky? To have this life. It's all so perfect. She sat down in a small chair across the room to stare at JJ.

"But all of sudden, a witch comes out of the trees!" JJ says raising her voice slightly.

"And she was old and ugly right!?" Oliver pops out from under the covers to interrupt the story.

"Yes, honey. She was hunched over and old and ugly. She walked over to Snow White and offered her a bright red apple," she looked up from the book for a quick second to check that this is really happening. That this is really her perfect family.

"And it was poisoned!" Ollie shouted again.

"Yes, it was poisoned. But Snow White didn't know that. She reached out and took the apple, taking a huge bite out of it," JJ changed her voice to sound like a wicked witch, "'oh, good you like it! I am so glad. I must leave now. Goodbye my dear!' the witch says as she fled the woods,"

"Is she going to be okay!?" asks Violet who had snuggled back into her bed.

"We'll have to see!" says Emily walking over from the other side of the room and sitting down next to JJ, "Snow White felt faint and fell to the ground," Emily took over.

"Oh no!" Vi says, pulling up her covers, "She's gonna die!"

"Now, who said she was gonna die?" asks Emily.

"Well, whenever someone at your work gets poisoned they die," Violet says innocently.

"How do you- Where did you hear that?" JJ asks leaning in to comfort her daughter.

Emily and JJ had just come back from a case involving a man who was poisoning women in night clubs. Spiking their drinks with arsenic. They caught him, but not before he murdered 15 women over the last 3 weeks.

"Last night. You and mama were talking about work and you said that it was terrible that so many girls had to die. You said they were poisoned. Just like Snow White!"

"Oh, no-no-no. You don't have to worry about any of that. Snow White is going to be just fine," JJ turns to give Emily a concerned look, "She's going to be just fine."

Emily continues reading the story, trying to rush to the happy ending, "But then a prince found her lying there peacefully, and he leaned in to kiss her,"

"Ewwww," says Oliver loudly, "That's gross!"

Emily and JJ giggled, "The princess woke up from her slumber to see the handsome prince standing before her. And they lived happily ever after. The end!" Emily ends the story and plants a quick smooch on JJ's cheek.

"All right! Now it's time to go to sleep!" JJ says standing up from the rocking chair.

Emily kisses both kids on the forehead and they make their way to the door, "Sweet dreams you two," JJ says as she quietly closes the door behind them.

They give each other loving looks as they walk to the kitchen. Emily sits down at the island letting her head fall into her hands. JJ opens a cabinet and pulls out 2 wine glasses and sets them down on the counter, "Nightcap?"

"Do you even have to ask?" Emily replies, "I don't think we can ever talk about cases in the house anymore. It's too dangerous especially if they bring those stories to school,"

"I agree," JJ says, pouring a bottle of red into the glasses, "They were supposed to be asleep though. How could they have heard us from the other room?" she tops off each of the glasses with what was left in the bottle and hands one to Emily, "From now on work stays at work. We really can't risk that again."

Emily takes a sip from her glass and glances at JJ, "How are you so gorgeous?" she asks as JJ sits down next to her, "I could ask you the same thing."

Emily runs her fingers through JJ's hair and leans in for a kiss. JJ glides her finger along Emily's jawline and kisses her back.

The night goes on. They finish their drinks and are about to head off to bed. Before they do, Oliver creeps into the kitchen as JJ is washing out the glasses.

"Hey, buddy, what's up?" JJ says, turning around.

"Can I have a glass of milk?" he asks in a soft, sleepy voice.

"Of course, come over here."

She pours him a glass of milk and sends him back to bed. He walks back to his room and shuts the door, sipping his drink.

"Can you believe it's almost been 5 years since we adopted them?" Emily asks, coming up behind JJ and wrapping her arms around her waist. She kisses her lightly on the neck.

"No, I can't. Time goes by so fast," JJ replies, spinning around to face Emily, "Have I ever told you how much I love you?"

"Yes, but you can tell me again," Emily said flirtatiously. She kissed JJ, sliding her hand down her hip.

"I love you so much," JJ whispered in her ear.
