It took the jury 2 hours to come up with a not guilty verdict. Will's mother had to be escorted out when she got in JJ's face after the announcement. Her parting view was JJ being wrapped in Emily's arms placing a kiss on her lips, she was infuriated.

The team and family from both JJ and Emily's families went to a small local restaurant to celebrate JJ's release. Emily was never more than a few feet from JJ and Abbey spent nearly the whole time in JJ's arms as she informed her over every minute of the two weeks. When the food came Emily could barely eat she was too wrapped up in JJ who was getting a tad annoyed the Emily was making it harder to eat.

"Honey I know we haven't been around each other for two weeks, but I haven't had a good meal in just as long." JJ said and Emily got the hint moving away a little, making everyone laugh. Emily's parents picked up the bill near the end and Emily swore there was no need but it gave Elizabeth a chance to pull her aside.

"Mom I swear…"

"Shut up Emily we're paying. Now when are you going to propose to Jennifer." Emily choked and started laughing.

"Oh, your not joking…"

"No!"

"I wasn't sure… I wasn't going to…"

"Emily Elizabeth Prentiss! You will, when you're ready." Emily fiddled with the ring in her pocket.

"Mom…"

"Yes today would be a good idea." Elizabeth smirked and moved back to the group. Emily waved Abbey over who came trotting up.

"Hi Momma."

"Hey baby girl, can you do me a favor, go give this to your mother and say its from me?" Abbey nodded and took the ring in her hands. Watching Emily waited as Abbey walked to JJ then gave her the ring and whispered something to her. JJ looked at the ring then at Emily and started to cry and nod. Abbey got mad that her mom started to cry and was about to go yell at Emily when Emily walked over and JJ ran to her, she wrapped her arms around Emily.

"That's a yes?"

"A very big, I love you yes." JJ said and pulled back from Emily's shoulder to kiss her. "I absolutely love you Emily." Emily smirked and started to blush when everyone started to clap.

"Well… I guess we should announce." Emily laughed. "JJ and I are engaged." JJ pushed Abbey's hair back from her face and kissed her forehead.

"Are you ok with Emily marrying me?" Abbey nodded and hugged JJ.

"Now we're an official family." She smiled and JJ chuckled.

"We always were baby." JJ looked around at everyone she considered her family for the last 20 plus years of her life, she wouldn't have it any other way.

(Present day)

So Abbey had a family made up of blood relatives and not. She never saw her father's family after the trial, apparently they didn't care much. But she had Emily and the BAU family. She was happy with just them. She had her mom's family, and Emily's family, they all treated her like she was their own. She was happy to call Emily mom just like she'd call the BAU members aunts or uncles. She still had nightmares about her dad, though very rarely, and though she'd never admit it she always had Chester right next to her every night. Her life couldn't be better in her eyes.

The end, Thank you.
