JJ/Emily CM Fanfic

About both of them and how they became a couple. I don't usually like fanfiction but I really liked this pairing. They have such chemistry on screen, and I love reading them so I thought I would write one. R&R! Flashbacks will be in bold; I just think bold is better than italics.

**JJ's POV**

A Realization

It had been a long, long morning getting to work extra early to brief the team on a new case. Being in the office at 5 am on a Saturday is not how I wanted to spend my weekend. I just felt like I needed a break for the BAU so many cases pouring in. And I am the one who has to be sure to pick the right case; if I pick the wrong one that bitch Strauss will be on my ass until next year.

Now 6 am and the rest of the team was here. Everyone looked like they were about to fall back asleep in their chairs, except for Garcia, god bless her. There was in fact one member of the team absent, the new girl who had replaced Elle.

Agent Prentiss, Emily, I had just met her in Hotch's office the other day and she seemed a little nervous, but I could see it in her eyes she wanted this job. And in a way I'm glad she got it. It's always nice to get new people into the field. And with what happened to Elle, I think it's a good thing she took off. She shot a guy in cold blood for heaven sakes. I think it was best for everyone if she left. Even I had enjoyed her company; she just wasn't that open of a person as everyone else on the team was. After she had got shot she kind of…disconnected herself from the team. But at least she's happy now.

"Morning, JJ!" Garcia said in a very chipper tone.

"Hey, Pen. I'd say good morning but it's still dark out." I replied rather sarcastically. Garcia just smiled back.

Turning towards Hotch I asked "Should we wait for Prentiss?"

"No, we can brief her on the plane. She is just meeting with Strauss now signing some paperwork, getting her gun and badge. The usual routine for joining the FBI."

"Yes, sir."

On The Plane

I saw Emily step onto the plane as I was just finished having a conversation with Reid about Soccer, we had been talking about high school and he wanted to know if I was a jock, nerd, theater geek, etc. I told him I was mainly a jock, but I had my geeky moments.

"Hey, nice to see you again Agent Prentiss," I said as I approached the table with the plush white airplane chairs around it.

"Nice to see you again too, JJ right?" Emily asked smiling

"Yeah, all my friends call me JJ." I said returning a smirk.

"Well all my friends call me Emily, so there's no need for Agent this or Agent that."

"Okay. That's nice to know..Emily"

I had never experienced a girl being so flirtatious with me, and I had never acted that way back. Emily was different though. I could tell from the first day I met her.

I had been hearing the team talking about this from the comfort of my office all day while I was doing paperwork.

"So, Hotch had someone is his office that was asking for an interview for Elle's position." Morgan said, still upset that Elle had left.

"Yeah, she's been sitting in there since he got here this morning; I heard she is the Ambassador's daughter." Garcia said a top of Morgan's desk.

"Well if she is an Ambassador's daughter then what are the odds Hotch won't give her the job. He likes people to work their way to the top. I'd say there is a slim chance of him letting her into the BAU." Reid said not looking up from his a zillion page novel.

I was walking down the stairs to the bullpen having to interject in their little conversation. I knew I needed to defend this girl, they barely even knew her, or knew what she was capable of doing.

"Guy's my office is right next to Hotch's. That girl is fighting with everything she's got to get this job." I said while taking Reid's book away so he could join the world again.

"JJ, does she even have experience?" Morgan asked questioning my statement.

"I don't know, but she also hasn't even mentioned being the Ambassador's daughter, not once since she got here. She wants it. You're all just hung up of Greenaway leaving." I said talking a sip of my coffee. I could see everyone's eyes turn to me realizing I was defending this girl; this girl that I had only heard behind a wall.

"You don't like it that she left either," Reid said, looking up at me with that I know everything look that I had grown to love.

"Yeah, I know. But we can't work on cases with one less member. We don't even know how to operate with one less person."

"She's got a point." Gideon said knowingly, looking up from his computer screen. I hadn't thought he was listening.

"Right, and with that I must go." I said heading back up the stairs to a mountain of paper work. Just as I was about to reach my office, Hotch called me into his.

"Yes, sir?" I asked. My eyes instantly landing on a gorgeous brunette had just stood up from the opposite side of his desk.

"Agent Jareau, Emily Prentiss, Prentiss this is Agent Jennifer Jareau the team's liaison."

"Nice to meet you, Emily, and please call me JJ." I said giving her my classic winning smile and flicking my hair over my shoulder.

Shaking my hand she replied "Nice to meet you too, JJ."

"She will be filling the position of Agent Greenaway;" Hotch stated interrupting our conversation. "And I expect that briefing to be ready in an hour." He said returning to his seat

"Of course, look forward to working with you Agent Prentiss." I said with a smile adding a little twinkle to my eye. Emily just smiled back blushing.

"Hello, earth to JJ!" Emily said as I realized I hadn't been paying attention.

"Oh! Right, sorry, I just got a little distracted." I said trying to get back to the case.

"You were literally just in another world, ha." Emily said with a giggle.

"Yeah, happens once in a while." I said looking through my paperwork trying to find the right case.

"So what were you thinking about? Special guy?" Emily asked.

"Guy!? Like I have time, you just wait Prentiss. If you have 'em I hope you have told them the field you are entering. It makes you unable to have a personal life at times" I said looking up and smiling.

"Oh, nope. No guy.." Emily said looking away quickly.

"Oh come on, pretty girl like you must have a date every night." I said looking at her deeply.

"Dates? Yeah sometimes, just not with- with guys..." Emily said looking at her finger nails.

"O-Oh, I'm sorry I brought it up. If you want to keep it personal, I um, I completely understand!" I said frantitcally.

"No, JJ it's fine. We're friends right? I tell my friends these things." She said, surprisingly calm.

"Good! And if you ever need anything, I'm here." I said reaching over and touching her hand.

"Thanks," Emily replied, brushing a strand of hair out of her face.

"Okay, all that aside let's get back to work." I said in a very professional tone.

After I had finished briefing Emily she was introduced to the rest of the team, minus Garcia because she stayed at headquarters when we travelled.

Morgan instantly took a liking to her; they both realized that they like some author named Kurt..something or other.

Reid and her shared an interest in literature.

Gideon had just been making her feel like she was welcome, honestly she really was welcome. She was now a part of our family.

And Hotch, well no one really had asked Hotch about his likes or dislikes. Ever.

All I could think of throughout the introductions was how poised she was. And how quickly she was fitting in, I couldn't imagine entering this close knit group of people. But she handled it so well.

When we landed in Up-State New York we were forced with a serial killer who had been killing blonde women from ages 21-35. Why is it always the blondes? I thought to myself.

As we got to the hotel rooms were assigned.

"Alright, let's get rooms assigned." Hotch started. "Reid, Morgan you have room 4G. Here are your keys, and Morgan no trashing the room this time." Hotch said raising his eyebrows.

Morgan simply laughed, "Of course, Hotch. I'll keep it professional this time."

"JJ, you will be rooming with Prentiss," He said tossing me the keys "And Gideon and I will be rooming together. Now everyone get a good night's rest, turn early and be ready for work by 7 tomorrow morning."

When we walked into the room I don't think Emily knew that to save budget money only Hotch and Gideon got the double bedrooms. The rest of us got singles.

"I can sleep on the couch if you want me to," she said to me as we were unpacking our stuff.

"Non-sense, it'll be fine."

"Are you sure?"

"What? Haven't you ever shared a bed with a woman before?" I said jokingly.

"I was just making sure you were okay with it."

"Totally, let's just get to sleep."
