It was a Friday night. Normally, this would mean an exciting and alcohol filled evening at the local bar for three certain ladies, but tonight was an exception. JJ had wanted to go but said she needed to get home to Will. Being away so often on cases proved that being an FBI agent could tear relationships apart, and JJ didn't want hers and Will's relationship to become one like that. She had seen how Hotch and Haley slowly drifted apart throughout the years, and now where was Haley now?

Dead.

And so JJ planned to spend any available minute, second, with the love of her life.

Garcia was free but when she found out both JJ and Emily had other plans, she had quickly called up Kevin. They made plans for the movies and that was that. Garcia would never throw away a chance to be with her beloved boyfriend.

Emily too wanted to go to the bar, but she had made plans a while ago. She had organized a date but the night of said date had been interrupted by a phone call. Sadly canceling the plans, Emily had sulked of to the airstrip where a case of dead bodies and blood awaited her hundreds of miles away. Rescheduling dates had become a habit in her life, and she rarely kept a significant other for more than a week.

"Alright, well I am so out of here, people!" Garcia piped up happily. She said goodbye to Morgan and Reid and turned towards her two best friends.

"Too bad we couldn't do something tonight, but after all, we are ladies, and we have our priorities!" Garcia stated proudly. Emily and JJ just laughed. They loved their chipper tech analyst friend, she was one of the reasons they both woke up not totally dreading work.

"I here you, Penelope," JJ agreed solemnly. Emily simply nodded her head, a smile growing on her face.

"See you later, have fun with Kevin," the two said in unison. JJ wiggled her eyebrows as the word fun left her mouth.

"Hey, baby girl. Don't listen to her. You just go have a nice time at the MOVIES and I'll see you tomorrow, right on the dot," Morgan said as he noticed JJ's eyebrow wiggle. Garcia just stuck her tongue out at him and proceeded towards the door. Morgan chuckled in return and called out.

"Just kidding, girl! You have all the fun you want!"

Garcia smiled and opened the glass doors, leaving. Reid sighed.

"Alrighty, well I'm out of here, too. I'm going to spend my night reading a new book I got," Reid said excitedly. JJ, Emily, and Morgan laughed at their young friend's excitement over a book and bid him farewell.

"I'm afraid I'll be going, as well. I told Will I'd meet him at home right when I got done here. I haven't seen him in forever and I can't wait to see Henry, either," JJ admitted. Emily smiled slightly to herself. She knew how much the blonde loved her son, the bond between mother and son was a strong one for JJ and Henry.

As JJ grabbed her coat and strode out of the bullpen, she called to Emily behind her shoulder, "Have fun on your date, Em! Make sure he knows that the wait is so totally worth it!"

Emily rolled her eyes, making JJ laugh as she left. Smiling to herself, Emily gathered up her things. She noticed Morgan smirking out of the corner of her eye.

"Um…Derek?" Emily asked, though she knew what he was thinking.

"What was that JJ said, Prentiss? 'Make sure HE knows that the wait is worth it'?" Emily sighed. Telling Morgan the biggest secret was not a planned event, it had come out on accident. One lazy, drunk night at a bar led to certain things, or secrets.

That night when the whole team had been out at the bar, Morgan and Emily were dancing together.

"Looks like you're really enjoying yourself," Morgan had said half serious, half sarcastic.

Emily just snorted. "Yeah right, Derek. I'd be enjoying myself way more if I was over there." Emily had then pointed to a sexy looking blonde. Being drunk, she hadn't realized the implications of what she had just done. The next morning Emily had pulled Morgan aside and sworn him to secrecy, thinking that if anyone found out she was gay they would look at her totally differently.

"You know they wouldn't," Derek had argued, but it was no use. Emily's mind was set. Respecting her thoughts however, Morgan had agreed to never let it slip. To this day Emily's secret was still safe, though Morgan had often thought about telling Garcia.

Or JJ. Emily and her were best friends. JJ deserved to know. But since Morgan and Emily were also good friends, he kept his word.

"Shut up, Morgan," Emily said now. "Don't give me that look. I'll tell JJ when and if I ever want to. And that will be never."

"Well you know girl, I respect that. But you can't keep the fact that you're gay a secret forever."

"Hey! Shut up! There is absolutely no need to blurt that out in the middle of the BAU!" Emily yelled.

Morgan just sighed. "No one is going to hear me. Everyone left already except Hotch but he's in his office. Plus, even if he was standing right next to us he's always got way too much on his mind to bother listening about anyone's personal lives. So relax!"

Emily looked towards Hotch's office and noticed the door closed. She let her guard down a little bit.

"Fine, but I still don't like it. I don't need everyone knowing all my secrets."

"ALL your secrets? Anything else you want to tell me, Prentiss?" Morgan asked, suppressing a laugh.

Emily simply shook her head and chuckled quietly to herself. She'd always love Morgan. He had a way of lighting up any conversation or making it serious if it was too light.

Grabbing her coat and slipping it on, Emily picked up her bag and headed towards the door. "See you later, Derek."

"Bye, girl. Have fun tonight. And tell Cara I say hi."

"Will do. You enjoy your night, too. This is the first time we've had off in like three weeks!"

"Haha, I hear you on that one!" Morgan boomed in agreement.

Emily laughed and left the building, smiling the whole way to her car.
