I wrote this a while ago, when I first discovered this site and before I was posting. This is a JJ and Will story, although not a lot of them in this chapter. Tell me what you think. I am going to post the first two chapters, so please review. I
Will and I have dated for over a year flying between Virginia and New Orleans on the weekends. After the last case I worked my team knew that we were together, his friend was killed and he helped with the case.
I thought it was time for Will to my daughter, Kenzie in person, although she talked to him almost every time I did, but I still had some reservations.
"JJ, I thought you said they have talked on the phone." Emily as she came back out of the bathroom.
"They have but talking to her over the phone is different from meeting her in person." I responded as I opened my bag.
We were sitting in our hotel room waiting on the rest of the team to get back.
"No, it's not. You already know Will well enough to have them meet and know that she will be okay." Emily as she sat down next to me.
"I know and your right. It's more about me than either of them." I told her.
"You like him, we all know it and the way he looks at you both Garcia and I want that." Emily laughing.
In the last year and half Emily had become one of my best girlfriends but I still had problems opening up to her.
"JJ, tell me." She knew I needed to talk.
"It's nothing." I replied looking everywhere but at her.
"You know that's why we all know when you're not telling us something. It's your tell." She told me.
"I thought it was because you were the great profilers." I replied laughing
"Whatever." As she nudged me.
"You promise that you won't tell anyone including Garcia, if I tell you." I asked.
"Of course, I won't" Emily, looking concerned.
"My dad left when I was twelve, he just walked away. I started dating Jason when I was fifteen, Kenzie's father. It was never what anyone would call a good relationship; we broke-up more than we were together." I paused for a moment.
"Then why?" she asked.
"At that time in my life, as crazy as it sounds, it made me feel safe. When I went to college, he followed me and it was really god for a while and then he decided to go back home." I told her.
"He wasn't in school too?" Emily
"No, school was not his strong point." I told her laughing, which made her laugh.
"Then how did you get Kenz?" she asked.
"I started working for the BAU and he seen me on the news during some case, he just showed up one day. It was nice at first but then." I stopped as I was starting to remember.
"Go on JJ, you can tell me." Emily looking at me, I was pale; she could guess what happened next.
"At first it started with him grabbing me to hard and then it progressed. One night it was so bad, a friend took me to the hospital, that's when I found out that I was pregnant. He left as soon as I told him about Kenzie. The crazy part is I blamed myself for all of it." I explained never looking at her.
When I finally looked at Emily I could tell she was in shock.
"Weak isn't it?" I asked
"JJ you are one of the strongest people I know and it wasn't weak." She told me.
"The really sad part Em is that if he wouldn't have left I would have stayed with him and Kenzie would have believed that it was okay." I told her.
"I believe what Garcia says is true; everything happens for a reason. You have Kenzie, we have both of you and now the two of you have Will. JJ, don't shut him out." She told me.
"I know that your right and not that Will would ever hurt me. I just keep waiting for it, the grab to hard or the hit. I don't know how not to feel that way. Emily, I love him."
"Does he know all this?"
"No, I haven't told anyone."
"You should and if we ever get off this case, you are going to have him come to Virginia and met Kenzie or Garcia and I will."
"I get it; first we have to get home. Thanks Em for listening."
"Always JJ."

Three days later the team finally caught the guy. We were now on the plane back home; everyone was talking about what they were going to do once we landed.
"JJ, what about you?" Morgan asked.
"I am going to pick up Kenzie from Haley and then go home and snuggle up in the bed with her" I told them.
"She is also going to make a call to invite a certain southern to come and met Kenzie." Emily told them as she put her book down.
"Thanks Em." I replied smiling.
"Will hasn't meet Kenzie." Reid asked; I hadn't been sure he was even awake until he asked.
"No, not yet." I told him.
"Wow, only JJ tries to keep a kid out of a relationship." Morgan commented.
"Yeah, I once had a women show up on a date with her kids." Dave, as he came up the aisle.
"You like kids." I commented.
"Yes, but it would have been nice to know that she had five kids." He replied.
We all laughed with him.
"So you are all saying that I waited to long." I asked the group.
"Yes." Hotch, looking up from his file.
"I told you it's you or me and Garcia." Emily told me smiling.
"I get it." I told them.

When the plane landed we all went back to the office to finish paperwork and get our cars.
"I'm back, going to pick up Kenzie and then heading home. I miss you. –j."
I text Will as I walked to my car. Once I was in the car I heard my phone vibrate.
"Still in the office. I am glad you're back safe and I miss you. Is it okay to call when I get home?-W"
"Of course. I can't wait to talk to you. – J"
I sent the message back to Will and then pulled out. Hotch and Haley's house was about a ten minute drive and he had made it there before I did, so I parked behind him and went up to the house. Haley opened the door.
"Are you sure you don't want to leave her here since she is sleeping?" she asked as we entered the living room.
"No but thank you, I really just want to take her home." I told her, knowing she would understand.
"Why don' I carry her out for you while you get her bag?" Hotch asked when he came in the room.
"Thank you." I told him.
Hotch went and got Kenzie I opened the door for him as he carried her out to my car.
"Haley, thank you so much."
"JJ, she is no problem." She told me; as I followed her into the kitchen.
"Here's you a plate of food."
"You are to good." I responded taking the plate from her, as I picked up Kenzie's bag off the table.
"Make sure you let my husband know that." She told me with a laugh.
"I will" as I walked out the door.
When I got to my car Hotch was leaning up against it.
"Thank you and by the way your wife is to good." I told him.
"I know and JJ you should invite Will to meet her, he's not Jason." Hotch told me.
I stared at him for a minute, did he know.
"Why would you say that?" I asked.
"I can tell you what I think happened between you and Jason; but you wouldn't tell me the truth. I can tell you that's not Will." He told me as he moved away from my car.
"Thank you Hotch." As I got into my car.
