The next day Emily went into work, expecting to see JJ but she was nowhere to be found.

'Where's JJ?' She asked Morgan.

'Sick. I think. I dunno I think she said she had the flu.' Morgan stated.

'Yeah, she said she was throwing up and stuff.' Reid said putting his coffee down on his desk.

'Oh…' Emily said.

'Good Morning my furry friends we have a case.' Garcia said.

Everyone followed her to the briefing room. Emily's thoughts wander to JJ. She couldn't help but feel like she made things worse. Hotch broke her out of her thoughts when he said, 'Wheels up in 30.'

Emily knew that it wouldn't take her long to get to JJ house so as soon as she left the room she made her way there. JJ opened the door, 'Whatcha doing here?'

'Look, I feel like I overstepped my boundaries with you the other day. I shouldn't have responded the way I did.' Emily started cautiously.

'No. Look, it wasn't you. I shouldn't be doing that. I mean I have a son and a boyfriend. I don't think I should have kissed you.' JJ stated.

Taking a step inside Emily said, 'So, Will is the only reason you don't want this to continue?'

'I-I honestly Em, I'm not sure what I want. Me and Will aren't getting along so I don't know if that is why I kissed you or if I feel something here…' JJ said.

'Okay, I get it.' Emily said harshly.

'Em, I didn't mean it like that. I just meant…' JJ started.

'I know what you meant. It's fine, no worries. I gotta go meet the team. I hope everything works out with you and Will.' Emily said.

'Emily…' JJ said but it was too late.

After Emily left JJ started thinking about her feelings. She finally decided that she needed to do what was right. Before she left for the BAU she had long talk with Will. She had decided that she need some time apart from him, although the reason she gave him was that she needed time to 'work on herself'. After their talk she drove the airport to meet up with the team.

'What are you doing here? Thought you were sick..' Reid smiled at her when she walked into the station.

'Well I've been feeling a little better so I called Garcia and she told me where you guys were.' JJ said.

Rossi nodded when he walked into the room. Morgan and Prentiss followed, but when Emily saw JJ she turned and left the room mumbling something about the bathroom. Morgan noticed her odd behavior so he decided to follow her. She walked right past the bathroom and out the front door.

'Okay so wanna tell me what's going on?' Morgan stated.

'Nothing. I just need fresh air...' Prentiss frowned.

'Right like you needed to use the restroom?' Morgan chuckled, 'Alright, so tell me...why are you avoiding JJ? I mean I could probably guess but I think it would be better if you tell me.'

'Look, I-I well I guess we kinda kissed.' Prentiss said.

'That's hot.' Morgan started, 'But why do you look like someone died. Shouldn't you both be

much happier?'

Morgan winked and Prentiss just scoffed, 'You are a nasty man.'

'Oh you know it.' Morgan smiled, 'But why don't you just tell her how you feel...'

'I tried...' she swallowed, 'But...'

'Nope, no buts...' Morgan said.

'Oh please...when are you going to tell Reid you like him?' Prentiss asked, 'I'm the only one who

has issues with their feelings.'

Morgan rolled his eyes. Neither one of them saw Reid come out of the station so he cleared his

throat.

'Why are you guys out here?' Reid asked.

'I-I uhm...well. No reason..' Morgan frowned glancing at Prentiss.

'Uh..Reid...Morgan has something he wants to tell you.' Prentiss said practically running for the

door.

She didn't know how much Reid heard and she didn't wanna know but all she heard as the door

closed was Morgan, 'I'm gonna get you woman.' She laughed to herself before meeting back up

with the team. Once there she noticed JJ staring at her funny.

Later that day after the case was over she had to share a room with JJ. Prentiss went out of her

way to avoid going back to her room, but in the end sleep won. The only good luck Prentiss had

all day was that JJ was sleeping soundly when she got back to the room.

The next day they apprehended the unsub.

'Bryan Marsar, put the gun down!' JJ said, 'Look, I know you didn't mean to hurt your family.

They meant more to you than anything. I get that. Please just don't do anything stupid. I don't

wanna hurt you.'

The unsub pointed his weapon at JJ and a shot rang out..
