Summary
(title is derived from an e.e. cummings poem )
JJ’s world shifted the moment two thin lines appeared on the pregnancy test. Ever since then? Chaos.
In between swollen ankles and ridiculously early mornings spent at the foot of the toilet, Will left. He left quietly, without a fuss. No big argument. No explanation. He was there one week, then gone the next. He changed his number and left JJ a lousy, half-assed note. JJ didn’t have time to process it, too busy folding onesies and tending to a crying infant.
So, when Emily Prentiss decided to give her a hand, it seemed foolish to decline. Not when she hadn’t slept in days. Not when her apartment was littered with toys and bottles scattered across the kitchen.
JJ didn’t even realize when her eyes started softening when she looked at Emily. She didn’t realize when her heart made that jump around Emily. But seeing Emily Prentiss—usually sharp and composed —rock her baby with hands so gentle it made JJ hold her breath…it did things to her.
It did things to Emily too.
