a couple months had passed since Emma officially moved back to Virginia and their little family could not remember the last time they had been this happy. Jasmine had started school right after she moved and it was an easier adjustment than she thought it would be.

she became quick friends with Rose Jones, the school nerd with no friends, and they would go as far as to say that they're each other's best friends right now. of course Jasmine still had her old friends from before she moved but she really only kept in touch with one of them, the three of them quickly formed a small but very close friend group.

Rose would go over to the Reid household practically every day and they welcomed her with open arms, whenever they were on a case the Jones family would happily let Jasmine sleep at their house as well. the girls were both fifteen at this point and they were inseparable.

the team had a whole weekend off and most of them had plans on how they wanted to spend it, Spencer and Emma however, much preferred a quiet weekend at home with their daughter and by extension, her best friend who was staying over while her parents were away.

Emma was cooking dinner for all four of them while humming the tune to her favourite song when she felt arms snaking around her waist and a soft voice joining her. she lowered the heat on the stove and turned around to wrap her arms around her husbands neck, his adjusting on her hips.

they both sang quietly as they slow danced together in their little kitchen, neither of them noticed the two girls hiding in the doorway and watching them fondly "i didn't know your parents could sing?" Rose had whispered quietly "my mom loves to sing but my dad only does it for her" they both suppressed the urge to audibly "aww" when he twirled Emma around and brought her tighter into his arms.

she laid her head on his chest as their two voices turned into only his as he sang softly to her "wait i recognise that song" Jasmine suddenly whispered and her heart almost exploded as she realised "oh my god it's their wedding song" they both put their hands on their hearts at that but hid a bit more when the song finished and the couple started talking while still swaying to no music.

"what would my life be without you my little Dove?" Spencer asked quietly as he kissed her head "you'll never have to find out if you stop calling me little" they both laughed softly at that "there's nothing wrong with being tiny, diamonds are some of the smallest objects in the world but they are also the most precious and you my Dove are the most precious of them all" after a light smack for the tiny comment a bright smile spread on both of their faces.

"i love you so much Spencer" he bent down slightly to rest his forehead on hers "i love you more" he replied and she swiped a thumb across his cheek as she laid her hand there "not possible" they heard a small squeak from the hallway but didn't pull away, instead Emma leaned up to whisper in his ear "i think we're being watched"

she giggled as she said it "how about we teach them a lesson on spying hmm?" she quickly nodded and they leaned in for a passionate, but still appropriate, kiss "eww eww okay you got us, stop it" they heard their daughter scream as she came into the room and they pulled away laughing "no more eavesdropping girls" Emma scolded and they both hung their heads like kids caught in a cookie jar.

"alright, enough with the kicked puppy looks, go wash up for dinner" they both ran to get to the bathroom first as the couple sat back and watched with amusement, Emma finishing the dish as Spencer resumed his earlier stance behind her "hey Dove?" "hmm" she replied "well i was thinking" he trailed off as she handed him a spatula to taste the sauce she was working on.

"hot but otherwise perfect" he replied and she smiled for him to continue "you were thinking?" she asked and he rested his chin on her shoulder "what if we bought a house?" she laughed at that "Spence we're already looking for places, you know we can't all live in this apartment forever" he kissed her shoulder and put his head back "yes i know we're already looking, i wasn't done"

she giggled at his annoyed tone "i was gonna say, what if we bought a house with more than two bedrooms?" she understood what he meant but decided to tease him a little "yeah i think making Rose her own room is a great idea" she replied jokingly and he poked her side lightly "not what i meant" she turned the stove off and rotated so that she was fully facing her husband "are you trying to say what i think you're trying to say?" she asked hopefully.

"let's have another kid" he said and she squealed in excitement before jumping into his arms, he caught her by the waist and spun her around "i'm guessing that means you're on board?" she kisses him chastely before pulling away "we have to talk to Jaz first, only if she's okay with it too" before he could agree they heard an excited voice from behind them.

"Jaz is very, very okay with it" they pulled their daughter into the hug and they all laughed together "come on sweetheart, you're part of this too. you're gonna be stuck with babysitting duty as much as she is" Emma told Rose as she saw her standing in the back, they opened their arms and she rushed into the group hug.

that night they had a longer conversation about everything after both girls had gone to bed and they knew they had made the right decision for the next step in their lives. they made a calendar on their phones for when Emma was ovulating and had the best chance of pregnancy and talked all night about how it would be like to have a little kid around again.

they talked for hours on what they would do to ensure Jasmine never, ever felt left out or like less of their child because she was adopted and thought about their dream house. that night Emma threw away her birth control and they kissed until their lips were swollen, not going any further because of the girls in the next room.

they talked about how they would tell their team as the discussions with Strauss seemed to be steering in the right direction lately, they talked about baby names and how they would decorate a nursery. they talked and talked about everything they could think of until they fell asleep in the safety of each other's arms. 

that night they dreamt of their life together, the past, the present and their newly planned future together. they dreamt of a baby in their arms, of having two kids that loved each other with everything they had. they dreamt of their perfect life with their two perfect children.
