This is a sequel to The Year Kept Secret, but if you haven't read that you don't really have too to understand what's going on here because it follows the show pretty much completely- but if you're a Willifer fan you might want to check it out.

This has been edited since uploading.

Hope you enjoy this one as much (or more then) The Year Kept Secret!

"I love you, too," Will said with his hands still on the small of my back. Right at this time I didn't want to leave his arms. I knew right in this moment that our relationship had changed, for the better. I wasn't going to hold back what I really wanted, or what I was thinking.

"Do you have to leave?" I asked, not wanting to have to leave this moment, but knowing we would need to. I had wasted so many months being scared and trying to protect myself from getting hurt, I didn't want to waste any more time.

"Not straight away," he smiled, though we both knew he had to get back to New Orleans before the morning, but I was happy he lied. "When do you leave?"

"We'll leave at dawn," I answered. Hotch had decided we would leave in the morning knowing jet sleep wasn't what any of us needed, or wanted.

"Then so will I," Will said as he placed his lips on mine again.

"I wish you could just come home with us," I said, though I knew he wouldn't be able to take any more time off than he already had.

"I want that too," Will replied. "More so, so I can see that jet off yours," he added jokingly.

"So," I started ignoring his joke. "The team was going to go out for dinner, if you wanted to go, or we could just go back to the hotel," I somewhat asked, though I was fairly certain I knew what his answer would be.

"Dinner with your team sounds great," he smiled.

"Really?" That was not the answer I expected to get from him.

"Absolutely," he said taking his hands away from my back. He picked up his bag with one and slipped the other into my own.

"Okay," I added still surprised.

"You thought I wanted to go back to the hotel? Didn't you?" Will asked.

"Well, yeah," I replied for obvious reasons.

"Nice to know what you think of me," he said mockingly, I smiled knowing he was joking.

"Guess we should go find the others," I said moving on, as I began to lead him back into the station. I was happy to see no one was staring, I didn't care if they knew anymore, but it would have just been a little strange knowing they were watching the exchange Will and I had just shared.

We looked around the station but the team was nowhere to be found. "Maybe they already left?" Will said.

"Maybe," I added, I pulled out my phone and scrolled down until I found Emily's name. She answered after the first ring. "Where are you all?"

"At the restaurant," she answered.

"Already?"

"We thought you weren't coming."

"I said 'I'd get back to you'."

"Well we only just got here, you're still welcome to come. We just assumed you'd be heading back to the hotel."

"Where did you end up going?" I asked.

"The Mexican one around the block," she answered, it was the one I thought they would end up going to.

"Okay, well I'll be there soon," I said before ending the call. "You up for Mexican?"

"Sounds great," Will replied as we started walking out the station.

…

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Will asked before we walked in.

"Of course," I answered, even if I wanted to back out now, it would be too late. But I wanted the team to know, I didn't want to hide this anymore. The last year had been exhausting, coming up with lies of why I was going away so often, or who I was talking to, or why I wasn't interested in going out and picking up guys, had been a lot of effort.

"Good," he said holding the door open for me.

"LaMontagne!" Morgan called out as he saw us walk in. He picked up the drinks he had just ordered off the bar before walking back over to the group. We followed him over to where the rest of the team was. Surprisingly even Hotch and Rossi were there. They very rarely came out after a case with us. But the most surprising person there was Detective Lopez. "Can I buy you something to drink?" Morgan asked Will as he placed the two drinks he was holding on the table and slid one over to Lopez.

"That'll be great," Will said taking Morgan up on his offer. Morgan started to walk back over to the bar. "Did you want anything?" Will asked.

"I'm fine," I said shaking my head, before he walked over to where Morgan was standing. I took the seat next to Emily hoping no one else had claimed it.

"So?" She asked after about a minute of me sitting there, and I knew what she was really asking.

"You're right, he's fun to look at," I said playing coy.

"Come on JJ," she said pushing for more.

"Okay, I gave him my number a year ago and-" I started.

"And how could I not call?" Will said finishing what I was going to say as he took the free seat next to me, and placed a glass of water in front of me.

"So this has been going on for a year?" She asked, but her tone sounded like she was faking surprise. My eyes narrowed, I wasn't sure if I was on to something or not. I looked over to Will to see if he was thinking what I was, but he had the glass to his lips and looking in Morgan's and Hotch's direction, so I was guessing not.

"Did you know?" I asked, I needed to know.

"Uhhhh…yeah," she replied.

"Awesome," I said sarcastically as I clapped my hands before resting my lips on the tips of my fingers. "Who else knew?" I asked.

"Morgan," she answered and I closed my eyes knowing more names were to come. "Reid," I nodded, if Reid knew than I really hadn't been good at keeping it as secret as I thought. "Garcia," that one I was only half shocked by. Morgan would have told her, but she had surprisingly not mentioned anything to me. "And I'm guessing Rossi and Hotch."

"Thank you," I said placing my hand on Will's leg.

"For what?" She asked.

"Thank you for not saying anything," I was really not ready for them to know before now, I was still in shock that they had known all along, but I couldn't be more grateful to them for letting me keep my privacy.

"You're welcome. Also you owe me one."

"Why?"

"Do you know hard it was to keep Garcia in check?" She said and I just laughed knowing exactly how hard that would have been.

…

After dinner, Morgan and Lopez hit the dance floor together. Emily had asked the other males to dance, but only Rossi took her up on her offer. "What about you Darlin?" Will asked.

"Lead the way," I answered. And he stood up from his chair and held out a hand for me to take. "But just one. We should head back to the hotel soon."

"Fine by me," he said and I took his hand.

We took some space near where Emily and Rossi were and Will put his free hand on my hip and we started swaying to the music.

I still couldn't believe two hours ago I was going to let him go. How could I have been so stupid? The last year had been amazing and I couldn't imagine going back to how it was before. And why would I want to? Will was perfect for me. He was the love of my life and I hated myself for almost ruining that over some fear.
