JJ awoke with a start, the clap of thunder disturbing her slumber. Disoriented for a minute, forgetting where she was, she felt panic well up within her. Then, hearing the shallow breathing of the body beside her, everything came flooding back. The panic left her as she remembered exactly where she was and what she'd been doing. She slowly climbed out of the bed, grabbing Dave's shirt and putting it on. She settled on the couch, watching the storm pass by. Her thoughts got the better of her. What WAS she doing? She'd just broken up with Will last night. She'd been fighting with the man that now slept in the room, now she'd been with him, in a very unprofessional manner. That was the least of her worries. Fraternization policies being what they were, she wasn't sure how to navigate around that. Then, she wasn't so sure what to do. Jumping from one relationship to another? Everything was going so fast again. She was greatly attracted to Dave, that was for sure, they'd proven it in a lot of ways last night. Doubt filled her mind. Dave said he didn't want to end it, he wanted to continue once they got back home, but how? She was sure that Will would make her life a living hell if he found out about her and Dave. He'd already accused her of sleeping with someone on the team, he'd never believe that anything had started after she'd broken up with him. And her son, he wasn't old enough to understand much of anything yet, but she knew the breakup would affect him, none the less.

She couldn't shrug off the niggling doubt welling up in her. She thought back to when she had originally had decided to break up with Will. She'd been scared to let him go, and scared to stay with him. She chose to stay because she was tired of running away, but she should have followed her first instincts, considering the end result was the same. Only difference was, she now had a child and a tie with Will forever. Shaking her head, she thought maybe she she should get back to her room. She really didn't want to be found in Rossi's room come morning, and she realized she hadn't phoned Penelope to see how Henry was.

Grabbing her purse, she fished her phone out to check for messages. She'd put it to silent earlier, and a quick view seen that Will had phoned 3 times again since she'd broke up with him. Garcia had sent her a text, letting her know she had Henry and he was being a perfect angel. She also said they needed to have a long talk when JJ got back to Quantico, she wanted details.

Sighing, thinking of two options, one being going back to her room now and spending the rest of the night tossing and turning, or two, climbing back into bed and settling in with Dave, she opted to climb back in next to Dave. When she slipped between the covers, he pulled her to him.

"What's wrong, babe?" he asked in a hush tone.

"I was just thinking, Dave. This has happened so fast, we need to talk about a lot of things. I can't believe I just ended a relationship, and now, I'm here with you." she whispered.

"I told you earlier, Jen, I'm here. I want this relationship with you. I'm not the rebound guy, I'm not going to disappear. This isn't a one night stand as far as I'm concerned." he stated.

"I know, Dave, I know. But I've always had a hard time with relationships. In fact, I was breaking up with Will, then I got scared and held on to him. Then, I found out I was pregnant, and everything just snowballed. You never really know someone til you live with them, and boy, did I get it in spades once he moved up to Quantico full time." she snuggled against Dave as she told her story. She decided to let it all out, trusting him.

"When he showed up in NY, on the terrorist case, I was shocked. I never knew how protective he could be. I was trying to keep my personal and work life separate, and he just blurted out the news of my pregnancy to the whole team, because he was scared of me doing my job. And it's just gotten worse. He was fine when I was on maternity leave, but once I started back, it just became way too much. He was making me choose between him and my job. And I realized, I didn't love him enough when the job won" she confessed.

Dave didn't know what to say, so he just pulled her closer to him, kissing the top of her head.

"Dave, I want this to work between you and me. I know this is way too serious to be discussing now, it's not like Bam, we have sex and now we'll have a white picket fence existance. I know you don't do that. And it's a little too late to take it slow, considering the amount of times we've done this tonight. But I want to try. And I know we have a lot going against us. But if you are willing to try, so am I. I just ask that we do not let anyone know yet. Tomorrow, we are strictly about the job. And when we get back, I know I'm going to be having trouble with Will, so for awhile, at least, we are going to have to keep things very quiet." She hated saying that to him, but she knew Will and she realized how things could go.

"Whatever you say, JJ. At this point, I'm willing to do anything. I stood back and watched you with him. And if he was stupid enough to drive you away, then I'm not standing back anymore. As far as I'm concerned, we're together now. And if you want it kept between us, I'm fine. But someday, I will announce it to the world. So you better be prepared for it." he told her outright.

Sighing, JJ realized that it was all or nothing with this man. And for some reason, that made her feel extremely wanted and needed.
