A/N- I'm Back! Okay, wow it's been a long time since I have posted anything. I got a new position at work and between the training and trying to find my routine I haven't had much time to write. Things are calming down now though so hopefully I will have a little more free time. I'm a little leery of what will happen to my muse once JJ leaves the show (of which I am totally not happy about…) but we will see.

A/N2- I have to thank my good friend Zuzana, because without her constant hounding (and I say that with all the love in the world…lol) I probably wouldn't have made time to write it.

A/N3- And I still don't own anything… because lets face it if I did AJ Cook would definitely not be leaving the show…

Summary- How does Emily react when someone mistakes her for JJ's wife? And will Emily be able to accept her new feelings before it's too late?

Chapter 1- ENJOY…..

"You ready to go to the park Henry?" Emily asked as she tried to unbuckle him from his car seat in the back of her car. Henry bounced excitedly and spoke his cute little baby gibberish while Emily fumbled through the straps on the car seat. "I swear Henry I think you need degree in mechanical engineering to operate one of these." Emily huffed as she continued to struggle with the straps. "There we go." Emily smiled as she managed to unbuckle the last strap and Henry leapt into her arms. Henry was just over a year old now and he looked so much like JJ, it was almost scary sometimes.

Henry loved the park. Emily and JJ would bring him here anytime there schedules would allow. Ever since JJ found out she was pregnant and Will had bolted for the door the two women were almost inseparable. There friendship was one of the strongest and greatest things in Emily's life and Emily adored the little boy in her arms. Truth be told Emily had never liked Will, although she did sort of push JJ towards him. Emily could tell that JJ was not happy and she thought that at least for a little while Will could help JJ get out of the current funk she had been in. Emily never really expected anything other than a causal fling between the two. Will was suppose to be the rebound guy, nothing more nothing less. JJ had just broken up with her girlfriend of 2 years not three months before the team had been called down to New Orleans and they first met Will. Seeing her friend smile for the first time since the break up she thought Will might be just what JJ needed and she was happy that JJ was happy. Everyone knew that JJ liked both women and men; it was common knowledge around the BAU team members. Everyone knew that JJ just liked people, it didn't matter what package them came in, so long as they treated her good and they could make her laugh. Everything seemed to be going good until one night when JJ showed up at Emily's door, soaking wet from the rain and crying. Apparently JJ's rebound guy had knocked her up and then high tailed it back to New Orleans. It took all of Emily's self control to not book herself a flight to the Big Easy and kick Will's ass.

But for all the drama and pain that Will caused the one good thing that came out of it was Henry. He was the apple of his mother's eye and there was nothing that JJ wouldn't do for him. Or Emily for that matter. That little boy had Emily wrapped around his little pinky. Which is why, while JJ was busy with Hotch working on a presentation for Strauss, Emily was with Henry at the park.

Emily gathered up Henry's stroller and a blanket and the two headed over to their favorite spot. Once there Emily laid out the blanket and sat Henry down in the middle, then she placed a few of his toys in front on him. Henry was just learning to walk, so while Emily hoped the toys would keep the little boys attention for a while she was certain that they wouldn't. Henry was too much like his mother to sit still for long. True to her words, not ten minutes after they arrived Henry made his first attempted get away. Emily had looked down at her phone for two seconds to read a text from JJ, explaining what time she would be home, and when she looked up Henry was up and walking away on his wobbly legs.

"Whoa there little man." Emily smiled as she jumped up to catch the escapee. Emily scooped the little boy up and began tickling him. Henry's laughter could be heard throughout the park. "How about we swing?" Emily asked spying an empty baby swing on the play ground. Henry clapped his hands wildly. "I'll take that as a yes." Emily laughed.

Once Henry was securely fastened into the baby swing, Emily gave the swing a gentle push and Henry squealed with delight. Twenty minutes later Emily's arm began to tire so she brought the swing to a rest deciding that Henry might like to play in the sand box with a few other kids that Emily had seen at the park before. Emily unbuckled Henry from the swing and moved over to the sandbox. Once there Henry began to play with one of the little girls whom Emily remembered from one of their past visits. JJ often referred to her as "Henry's little girlfriend." Satisfied that Henry was happy in the sandbox, Emily moved to sit down next to the little girl's mom. Emily had never met her before but had seen JJ talking to her on occasion.

"I think Henry is smitten with your little girl." Emily smiled as she sat down.

"I think so too." The woman smiled. "I don't think we've been formally introduced. I'm Stephanie McKay."

"Emily Prentiss." Emily smiled back and then turned her attention back to Henry.

"They grow up so fast don't they?"

"Yes they do." Emily replied, thinking how big Henry had gotten in such a short amount of time. "Seems like he was just born yesterday." Emily smiled as she looked over at Henry.

"I know what you mean, I was telling your wife the other day that…"

"Whoa, excuse me? My what?" Emily asked snapping her head back around to look at the woman.

"Your wife, Jennifer?" Stephanie stated again with a confused look again.

"JJ is not my wife or girlfriend for that matter. We are just friends." Emily quickly explained. "I'm straight." Emily felt the need to add.

"Oh man, I am so sorry. I just thought… I mean you are always… and Henry seems so close to you. I am so sorry." Stephanie stumbled through her apology. "I am so embarrassed now." Stephanie blushed. Emily was nothing short of shocked. She couldn't believe that this woman had mistaken her for JJ's wife.

"JJ and I are best friends and we work together." Emily explained but before she could say anything else, she got a text from JJ saying she was leaving work. "I'm sorry but that is JJ, I need to take Henry home now."

"I really am sorry… I never met anything by it…" Stephanie continued to apologize.

"It's nothing, really." Emily smiled politely to the woman. "It was nice finally meeting you Stephanie." Emily nodded before walking over to gather up Henry.

"You too Emily." Stephanie replied back. She watched Emily gather Henry's things and couldn't help but laugh at what had just happened. She also couldn't believe that Emily and JJ were not together. They were the perfect couple, even if Emily was straight. "Come on Lily I think it time for us to head home too." Stephanie spoke to her daughter as she too made her way back to her car.

Emily couldn't get what Stephanie had said out of her head the whole way home.

"I can't believe she thought I was JJ's wife." Emily mumbled to herself. "I mean I'm straight for crying out loud." Emily said louder than she had intended and Henry giggled in the back seat. "You think that's funny little man? Me and your mama?" Henry let out another giggle. "Yeah me too." Emily replied turning her attention back to the road in front of her.

"Hey JJ we're home." Emily yelled twenty minutes later as she and Henry walked through the front door.

"Hey there." JJ smiled as she came out of the kitchen. "Hey buddy." JJ said as Henry reached out for her. As soon as he was in her arms, he snuggled into her neck and started sucking his thumb. "Well seems like some one is sleepy." JJ said as she kissed the top of her son's blonde head.

"Yeah well I think the park wore him out." Emily laughed.

"Just give me a minute to put him down." Emily nodded and JJ left to go put Henry down for his nap. A few minutes later JJ returned and sat down next to Emily on the couch. "Out like a light. Man what did you do to my son today?" JJ teased.

"Oh it wasn't me; he was busy playing with his girl friend."

"Ah I see. So Lily was there." Emily nodded. "She is so cute."

"I know and it cracks me up that Henry is so taken with her." Emily laughed. "Oh and get this, Stephanie, Lily's mom, thought we were married."

"Wow, really?" JJ laughed back.

"Yeah, I can't believe she thought that, can you?"

"Well I guess I can. I mean she's not the first one who thought that." JJ said shrugging her shoulders.

"What?" Emily asked back in shock.

"Come on Emily, it's not a big deal."

"Maybe for you but I'm straight. Why would people think that just because we hang out a lot that we are married?"

"Oh I don't know maybe because we hang out ALL the time." JJ stressed the word all. "I mean hell you even have your own car seat for Henry in your car."

"That was out of convenience and you know it." Emily snapped back.

"Geez Emily don't your panties in a bunch." JJ teased not really paying attention to how mad Emily was getting. "Besides what do you care what other people think; it's nothing to get worked up over just because a few other agents thought we were dating."

"Other agents? As in people we work with?" Emily couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Outside of our team I would guess that most people think that but who cares."

"Oh my god." Emily just about yelled as she jumped up from the couch.

"What is your problem? Why is this bothering you so much?" JJ stared at her friend.

"Because I'm straight." Emily defended herself.

"I get that, but good lord woman is the thought of being married me that horrid an idea that it literally has you freaking out."

"Damn it JJ, that's not what this is about." Emily said running her hands through her hair.

"Well I don't know why it comes as such a surprise. We do hang out a lot; dinner dates, and trips to the movies. Plus I mean look at you." JJ snickered.

"And what's that suppose to mean?" Emily huffed back.

"Well I mean come on, you don't exactly scream girly now do you? You wear pant suits all the time and let's not forget about those combat boots and cargo pants you love so much."

"So now I dress like a lesbian too?"

"I really don't understand what the big deal is." JJ replied still confused as to why Emily was taking all this so personally.

"I'M NOT GAY!" Emily yelled. "I'm not like one of your kind!" And there it was. As soon as Emily said it she realized her mistake as she JJ's smile fade from her face.

"One of my kind?" JJ repeated back quickly standing up. "And what kind would that be?"

"JJ, I'm…"

"No Emily what kind would that be? Because I wasn't aware that my being bi-sexual bothered you. I thought we were friends." JJ replied back with a cold even tone, but Emily could see the tears beginning to form.

"We are friends; that's not what I meant." Emily pleaded.

"Yeah, but it's what you said. I think you need to leave." JJ said as she walked over to the door.

"JJ wait…"

"No, I want you to leave right now!" JJ demanded opening the front door and pointing the way out for Emily.

"JJ…" Emily tried again once she reached the door.

"LEAVE!" JJ snapped. Emily nodded and walked out the door. Emily had no more made stepped onto the porch when the door slammed behind her.
