Two Days after Alex and Spencer flew to Edinburgh!
'God damn this is wrong' she really shouldn't be here; she should be at home, with her husband and her son. But not here…where her heart belonged. Of course she loved her son dearly, but with Will it was something different.
Maybe reality now got them, there had been a reason why she didn't want to marry him and when JJ was truthful she couldn't ignore the fact, that she probably wouldn't be together say less married to Will if they hadn't had Henry. It wasn't a pleasant thought, but the truth.
But the heart wants what the heart wants and she wanted him. JJ hadn't felt something like that ever, at least not with Will, she was beyond happy and what was more important? Why should she stay with him when she wasn't happy, she wasn't the first woman to leave her husband why should she stay in unhappy marriage, only to end like Alex? Being the one deceived after years? And have the stress with the divorce? No thank you, though said Lady had someone new.
JJ smiled as two hands lay on her shoulders as she looked outside the window where it was still raining.
"What causes my bellezza to smile?" David asked JJ turned around in his arms and giggled when his hand slightly squeezed her side, where she was ticklish.
"Oh I only thought about Alex and Spencer and how they think we don't know that they're together".
"Well first of all what? I didn't know this! Only because you and Garcia sniffed it out doesn't mean that we all knew" he said surprised and JJ laughed.
"You really didn't know? Come on...they're so obvious, Garcia actually saw them sneaking out of a closet at work back to back and at my wedding here they've been making out in your kitchen"
"What? In my kitchen? These are my holy halls and they- great…thank you very much! I could have lived peacefully without that information!" he grumbled and JJ giggled.
"I'm sorry, I really though you knew, aren't you the Profiler with the most experience? How did you miss this?" he mock glared at her and rolled his eyes.
"Maybe I didn't notice because I concentrate on my job and respect their private life" he said JJ raised his eyebrows.
"Sorry my Italian Casanova but you, like Morgan, respect nobody's privacy especially not the one of your friends and colleagues." she said and they walked into the kitchen.
"Well if that is so, then a certain someone can cook herself something to eat today."
"Aww, that's not fair you promised to cook for me!" JJ said and hopped onto the kitchen counter, before she pulled him over to give him a kiss.
"Okay persuaded" he said and started to cook.
It had started half a year ago and thinking about it, it wasn't really surprising that they had ended up together. JJ had always liked him and especially his company, he could make her laugh when she didn't even want to think about smiling, when she had a miserable day there was no better thing than her son and David Rossi.
JJ had no Idea where she should go, after she and Will had a hell of a fight and the only place she had in mind was Reid's apartment, but when she had been there she had left again before she had even knocked. Judging from the muffled moans, some of them clearly from a woman, that came from behind the door he was having company, so she walked back to her car and thought about where she could go to next.
JJ had been driving around for a while now, not really caring where she was driving. But then she suddenly realized where she was, she knew that Rossi lived near to where she was. So JJ turned around the next opportunity she got and drove to Rossi, she walked to the front door of his Villa and then rang the doorbell. When the door opened Rossi blinked at her in surprise.
"JJ what are you doing here?" he asked.
"Err…could I come in?" she asked and he saw that she was pretty shaken, so he stepped aside and let her in.
"What is going on JJ?" he asked once they had settled on the couch "I can see that there is something going on with you." she opened her mouth to say something, but then decided against it and closed her mouth again.
"No, I'm sorry that I bothered you." she said and tried to get up, but he held her back.
"You're not bothering me, now tell me what is going on…maybe I can help." he smiled at her and JJ sighed.
"I-…Will and I had a big fight…and I didn't know where to go, I just needed to get out." she said.
"I'm sorry to hear that really…but my experience in this section isn't the best you have to admit, at least according to my three ex-wives." he said and though she felt like hell JJ had to smile.
"Ah see…if that wasn't a smile, I know it's none of my business, but what have you guys been fighting about?" he then asked and laid a hand on her shoulder.
"No it's…we had a fight because he- Will wants me to quit my job and be house mommy," she explained "I love Henry I really do, I wish I could be with him twenty-four seven but…I can't give up this job I love it, it's a part of who I am!" she said and Rossi nodded.
"I can understand both sides, your side and Will's… but I'm sorry I can't really give you advice on that because I'd be self-defeating, nobody on the team would want you to leave, not to mention the fact that we wouldn't know what to do without you." he said and stood up.
"Hey you know what? I may be the worst help in these kinds of things, but you'll stay here now, I cook and we will drink some good wine and listen to Tony Bennett! What do you say?" he asked and JJ smiled at him thankfully.
"That sounds great thank you Rossi." she said.
"You're welcome."
After the best penne she ever had in her whole life, they sat on the sofa with their third Glass of wine and the second Tony Bennett record Rossi had put on. They had spent the last two and a half hours of talking, telling stories and laughing about embarrassing situations.
"I just can't understand why you are still single." she said.
"Oh man…maybe I'm just not made for it, though there is someone, but she…she's not interested." he said.
"Nah don't say that," JJ replied "let me guess…Strauss?" he looked at her surprised.
"Wow…how did you know?" Rossi asked.
"I'm good at my job and you were pretty obvious Rossi." she said smiling and he laughed too.
"I really liked you more when you've been still the Press Lady." as an answer she playfully hit his shoulder.
"No you don't and for your information even then I would've noticed that." she said and they fell in silence again. She leaned on his shoulder and listened to "The Way You Look Tonight" by Tony Bennett.
"I'm not happy anymore…" she said and he laid an arm around her and pulled her close. In this moment it didn't matter to her, she just didn't want to be alone and unhappy anymore, JJ looked up and Rossi looked her in the eyes, before she leaned up and brushed her lips against his. For a moment he responded but then pulled back.
"JJ we shouldn't do this." Rossi said quietly but JJ sat up and took his face in her hands.
"I know." she then pressed another kiss to his lips, this time it was more passionate and the two forgot themselves.
When JJ remembered their first kiss and everything that had happened in the last six months, she made a final decision.
"I will leave Will…" she said and Rossi nearly dropped the frying pan, causing JJ to giggle though she had started a serious theme between the two of them.
"Did I do anything to trigger that? because since the argument we had about that I-"
"No it's- Will doesn't deserve this! He is still the father of my child and though I don't love him anymore, it's not fair." she said and he nodded.
"I really understand that and I really appreciate it JJ" he said and laid a finger under her chin to lift her face and brush his Lips to hers in a loving kiss.
When JJ went home this evening Will was still at the birthday party of one of Henry's friends, so she went up and packed somethings before she went down and waited for him. She felt bad it wasn't like she didn't like him or didn't wanna be with him, but it wasn't working anymore. They had tried and it had been good for some time, Henry was both their pride and joy but that wasn't fair not for him and not for Henry.
When the door opened her heart beat faster not only because of the thing with Will but also because then she and Rossi could finally be together for real, it could be fun all the sneaking and stolen kisses, but it wasn't something for the long haul.
"Mommy!?" called Henry and she hurried into the hallway where her son jumped at her and hugged her tight.
"Hey Buddy. How was Tyler's party?" she asked and hugged him back.
"It was so cool! He had a big cake and we played a lot of fun games!" her boy rambled on for a while what funny games they all had played and that for his next birthday he too wanted a bounce house.
"Henry please go and brush your teeth and get your pajama on, I'll come and tuck you in when you are ready, okay?" she said and he nodded.
"Okay!" he said before he ran up to his room. JJ turned to Will and swallowed.
"Will we…we need to talk" she said and he smiled at her before he nodded.
"I know" together they walked into the living room and sat on the sofa.
"Will…this…us, isn't working anymore, I'm sorry but I can't do this anymore. I thought it would work, I hoped so, Henry is always going to be our son but…if we only stay together because of him, force him to grow up in a home where his parents don't love each other like they should do? That's not fair and I think it's better if we end it now, then in a few years when we hate each other and regret everything." she said and Will nodded.
"I know…I'm sorry JJ, I'm sorry I wasn't the husband or father that I should have been, I tried, believe me I really did…and I love you, it's just that like you say it's not enough anymore and we're not the first couple going through this! You are right better now than later…for Henry." he said and he hugged her, she hugged him back and so there sat there for a while.
"What are ya going to do now?" he asked.
"I'm going to stay with…Blake for a while and when we got things sorted out and then we'll see. Henry should stay here with you, okay?" she said and he nodded.
"I would ask if you wanted me to help you pack, when I wouldn't already know that you are finished." Will said smiling and JJ gave a shot laugh.
"I'm going to say goodbye to Henry" she stood up and walked into Henry's room where her little man already laid in bed.
"Hey buddy…Henry I love you very, very much you know that right? And Mommy and Daddy both love you and we will always be there for you sweetie…I'm going be gone for a little while okay? But I will call you every nigh yeah?" she said when she sat beside Henry in his bed and embraced him and kissed her sons forehead.
"I love you too Mommy, but why do you need to go?" Henry asked and JJ sighed this was more than hard.
"Mommy and Daddy need to solve some things out but it has nothing to do with you it's about my work okay? How about I read you a bedtime story now and then you'll go sleep" she said and he nodded.
"Okay, now where were we?" she asked when she pulled the book over and read him a story until he feel asleep. She kissed his forehead again and slowly rose carefully not to wake him and then got her bags and went down where Will stood by the door and waited for her.
"You got everything?" he asked.
"Ah…yeah all important stuff for now, we'll see each other, goodbye Will." she said and he hugged her for the last time for a while.
"Take care of you JJ…and I hope you are happy with him." he said whispered while he watched her until she was in her car and drove around the corner. While JJ was on her way back to Dave, she called Blake to make sure that if something happened and Will tried to visit her or something like that, that Alex was at least warned.
But she doubted that anything like that would happen, Will didn't even know where she lived after Alex had moved out of her house. But as her friend didn't answer her phone, JJ just left a message and continued to make her way into her new, surly more happy life.
Before she could even try to ring the door bell his front door opened and Rossi would let her walk inside. As soon as he had closed the door behind JJ, she'd let her bags fall and turned around to let Rossi wrap his arms around her in a tight hug. JJ felt safe and secure here in his arms, like she always did and after a moment David placed a loving kiss on her forehead.
"How did it go?" he asked when JJ buried her face in his shoulder.
"I think he knew immediately when he came home…we talked for a while and we both decided that it was the best to separate now, he was really understanding but…well it wasn't exactly surprising was it? I said goodbye to Henry and promised him to call him every night." JJ said and Dave stroked over her back.
"And you will Honey."
"I just…" JJ struggled a little to find the right words, "I just think...that he knows about us. Well not exactly us, but I'm sure he knows that I'm with someone and...as strange as it sounds I think he was okay with it." she said and looked at him.
"Does that sound crazy?"
"To someone who doesn't understand the situation yes, but only because most people expect that when to people separate that they hate each other. But would you be okay with Will fining a new woman?" Dave asked.
"Yes I would and I don't say this because I am the one who had an affair. He is a good guy and I hope he will find a woman with whom he can be happy, because I couldn't be that woman, because I belong here, with you." JJ said and kissed him.
"I love you too and because I love you I think we deserve a vacation." he said and smiled, JJ narrowed her eyes at him.
"Err…what do you mean?" she asked.
"Well…I think it's time for us to meet and old friend of ours who happens to live in London, so you better not unpack your stuff, because we'll drive to the airport in ten minutes so we can catch our plane to London."
JJ blinked at her in surprise "Wait. What?" he laughed.
"Yep, we'll spend the rest of our two weeks of vacation in beautiful London with Emily." he said grinning and JJ kissed him.
"I love you, you're the best you know that?"
He shrugged his shoulders in satisfaction "Maybe…Come on lets go!"
"Oh wait, I should call Alex first! I kinda made her my alibi for Will." he shook his head amused.
"Go on I'll go and get my stuff." with that he went up the stairs and JJ called Alex. This time she answered after the fourth ringing.
"Blake?"
"Hi Alex, it's me JJ…err I kinda need to tell you something-" JJ stopped and didn't know what exactly she should say. Just in that moment she heard a very girlish giggling that came from the other end of the line, which was not rather, but very unusual for the older woman.
JJ blinked surprised and blushed a bit when she realized what was going on, Alex wasn't alone. And the other, more manly, laughter in the back ground to judge, it was someone she knew very well. Mostly because she recognized the laugh, as the one of the godfather of her son.
"Wait a sec JJ," Alex may have tried to cover her phone but clearly, for JJ, she didn't succeed well. "Hey- no, no, no- Shh! - stop it know that's- keep your hands to yourself while I'm on the phone- that's not what I meant! Shh that's JJ!" she heard her talking and giggling from time to time, while she seemed to try to get Spencer hands off her. JJ had a hard time keeping herself from laughing out loud and then heard something like bedsheets rustling.
"Sorry, JJ I- err... never mind why did you call?"
"Oh I only wanted you to know, that you can ignore my message and when Will should be calling you, you can say that I'm on vacation with Garcia."
"Okay…everything alright JJ?" Alex asked and her friend sounded like she was constantly moving around and still told her "secret" lover to stop whatever it was that he was doing under small giggles.
JJ grinned "Yeah everything is alright, I just wanted to give you a heads up 'kay?" JJ said and her grin only widened when she saw Rossi who send her a questioning glance as he walked down the stairs.
"Okay, well yeah, if something else comes up, just give me a call okay?" Blake said and for a moment there were no other sounds in her back ground.
"I will, thank you Alex! And enjoy your vacation, bye."
"No problem, I will, goodbye JJ." but before Alex could end the call, JJ heard how she yelled in surprise and laughed. When JJ had hung up she couldn't help but laugh, these two really were a match.
"What is it?" Rossi asked when he lifted their pags into his car.
"Well…let's just say the ones who made out in your kitchen are currently going at it who knows where, it seems like Spence can't keep his hands to-"
"No! No! Don't start, I don't wanna know that Darling really! That's none of your or my business. I like them too, but what happens behind hopefully closed bedroom doors stays behind them!" he said when they got into the car.
"Really? nah I always expected Spencer to kinda get kinky when it comes to that stuff-" she said knowing that her Lover didn't want to hear about that, but she loved to tease him, after all he did it often enough with her.
"JJ! I love you, I really do, but that's their thing!" he said and shuddered.
"If you say so" she replied still smiling and just relaxed the rest of the ride to the airport, where they boarded the plane to London with their first class ticket. Sometimes she was still surprised by how much money he actually had. But of course it didn't matter to her, she just loved him for who he was. Dave was the only man that ever really understood her and he was there for her whenever she needed him and she knew he would never let her down.
She took his hand in his and he smiled before he gave her hand a slight squeeze and kissed her. JJ then laid her head on his shoulder after they had taken off.
"This is going to be one of the best vacations ever! If not the best, but you really didn't have to do this you know."
"But I wanted to do it, because it will make you happy and that is all I want. That my sweet Jennifer is happy." she kissed his cheek before she laid her head back on his shoulder.
"Hey…do you really think our nerds do some kinky stuff?" JJ snorted and tried to keep herself form laughing, but then gave in and let it out. Soon Dave joined in and many other passengers wondered what was going on with them,, but neither of them cared, they were on their way into their first vacation together.
