New York

How in the hell did we get here? I'm in a city that is on the brink of attack. I don't know where any of our team is. I don't know what happened to you. I know that a SUV blew up, but I don't know if it was yours.

As I'm driving to the command center the past two years flash in front of me. My life changed the day I met you. I just didn't know how much. We grew close and the flirting got more intense. I got scared, pulled far away from you and started fucking the first male that flirted with me. And now I'm carrying the child of a man I do not love, but loves me.

I walk into the command center and my heart leaps in my chest, because there you are. I don't believe my eyes. "Emily?" I ask in a hoarse whisper.

You slowly turn around. Our eyes meet and I can see the love and relief fill your eyes before your mask is pulled back down. "Oh, Thank God, you're okay!" you exclaim.

I can't wait any longer. I have to make this right. I have to tell you how I feel. I grab your arm and start to drag you out of the command center. "JJ, what are you doing?" you ask. I don't answer, I can't answer. I'm having trouble breathing and I'm shaking uncontrollably.

You see how upset I am and pull me into an empty office. I sit in a chair, you sit next to me. "Breathe, JJ, breather." you whisper in my ear as you rub soothing circles on my back. I can feel the heat of your hand on my back and it warms me. I slowly get my breathing under control and my composure returns. I rise out of my chair to kneel in front of you. I take your hands into mine. "JJ, what...?" I stop your question with my fingers on your lips. So you lock gazes with me and ask your questions with your eyes. I take a deep breath as I prepare to bare my soul to you.

"Please tell me I'm not too late, please. Emily, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being so far away. I'm sorry for making you wait. I love you. Give me another chance, please. I love you. I love you. Please." I lower my head, I'm begging.

Suddenly I feel your hand on my chin tilting my head up so I'm looking into your gorgeous brown eyes. You move your head slowly towards mine. I know what is coming and hold my breath. When our lips are millimeters apart you stop and breathe, "I love you, too." Then our lips meet. Your lips are so soft and velvety. It's a short kiss, but one that is filled with promises. It's the best kiss I've ever had. As you pull back you smile then say, "Now, we have a job to do. We will work everything out after we've stopped these Un-subs."

When we get back to the command center Reid asks, "Where'd you guys go?"

"JJ was having a panic attack," you answer smiling at me before getting back to work.

The day I met you my life changed. What I didn't know then was how much better it was going to be because of you. I know that I will never be far away from ever again.
