JJ walked into her room, Garcia had taken the boys to her room for the night so she had the night to herself. Changed and ready for bed there was a knock on her door, groaning she opened their.
"What do you want Reid?" Reid stood their hands shoved in his pockets looking as if someone just kicked his puppy.
"Can we talk?" JJ just turned around leaving the door open. Reid took that as a yes, closing the door behind him he stood in front of her.
"You wanted to talk so talk."
"Look im sorry about what happened tonight, it's just I saw the bruise and I thought t-"
"You thought he did it." Reid nodded.
"Is that all?" she asked.
"No It's not I want to know what I did for you to change like this. I have done everything to make you happy. I love you; I love henry as if he was my own. I just can't grasp why you seem to be pushing me away from you these past two weeks." Reid yelled he was finally letting it all out.
"Reid when I accepted you as my partner I told you I didn't love you, not like you did. To me your more of a brother than a lover, I am sorry to have caused you this much pain but you deserve someone who can love you as much as you. These past two weeks it became clearer to me that our friendship is being damaged by this, and that is one thing I will not lose your friendship." JJ responded.
"So that's it were done?" Reid asked his voice barely a whisper.
"Im sorry Reid, but we will end up hurting each other if this keeps going on." JJ hated herself for hurting him but she had to do this.
"Dose Donavon have anything to do with your decision?" Reid dreaded asking but he needed to know.
"No, I won't deny feeling attracted to him, but no this was all me." Reid nodded.
"Can-can I give you one last kiss before I leave?"
"Spence-"
"JJ please." Reid was on the verge of tears JJ gave him a small okay. Walking over to her he cupped her face kissing her, that's when he knew there were no sparks no shock nothing. 'Guess she's right.' Pulling back he gave her a kiss on the forehead before walking out the door. JJ dropped on the bed tears falling down her face. 'Im sorry Reid, im sorry' both agents' cried them self's to sleep that night.
The next morning they met in the lobby, the team knew something happen between Reid and JJ. Walking into the restaurant for breakfast they separated, the girls went to one table and the boys to another. JJ placed henry on her left and jack on her right, Garcia by henry then Kate by jack.
"Good morning, what can I get for you?" the waitress asked.
"Morning, can I have two orange juices and one coffee please." JJ ordered.
"I'll have a mango smoothie please." Garcia said.
"And I'll get a coffee as well thank you." Kate said.
"Okay, I'll be back with the drinks and for your order." And off she went.
"so you going to tell us what happen last night or we going to have to pry it out of you." Garcia demanded.
"There's nothing to say, I broke it off." JJ groaned at the look of sadness she was getting from the girls. "Its fine this was coming a long time already I just never had the guts to do it."
"And what gave you that finale push?" Kate asked JJ just shrugged.
"Might have to do with that sexy agent frank Donavon." Garcia said in a teasing voice.
"wh-no! I don't even know the man." JJ stuttered a blush coming forming on her face.
"Then why you blushing?" Kate teased. JJ was saved when the drinks arrived giving the girl their order she walked away.
"But serious JJ the man is a keeper, he saved henry, protected you twice, he looks like a nice guy and the fact that he's to die for is just an added bonus." Kate said.
"I don't know I mean I don't even know if he likes me that way and let's not forget that I just broke off a relationship." JJ said pointing her finger towards Kate.
"Im just saying a man like that only comes once in a life time." Kate said moving back as they placed their plate on the table.
"Kate's right peaches, I say go for it Reid knew this will happen it's only a matter of time until he finds the right one, you on the other hand this might be him." Garcia said cutting henry's pancakes. JJ looked down at her plate 'maybe their right, I'll just see where this takes me.'
Reid pushed his food around his plate not really feeling like eating. Hotch signed he rather be with his girlfriend than sitting here, not that he was being a bad friend but he knew for a fact that Reid wasn't hurting that bad. For the past week he has been talking to some girl he met on a case, they've been out as friends well that's what Reid said.
"Come on man cheer up, I know it sucks but it's not the end of the world." Morgan said munching on some eggs.
"Yeah I know, but doesn't stop from sucking." Reid mumbled, Hotch rolled his eyes so did Rossi since he also knew about the mysterious girl.
"Just give it time; you'll meet the right girl soon." Rossi said giving him a pointed look, that Reid pretends not seeing.
Arriving at the restaurant frank and his team exited his car; Donovan wore a white t-shirt that showed of his muscles and black jeans. The girls lead the way in as frank took the rear.
"Good morning table for five?" the waitress Sasha asked.
"Yes please." Monica answered.
"Please follow me." They were seated by the window. "What would you like to drink?"
"Three coffees and two ice teas please." Monica said that's what happens when you work with a group this long.
"Let's hope today we have no fights hmm." Cod said giving frank a look.
"No promises." Franked said joking.
"Frank mind if I ask you something?" Monica asked somewhat hesitant, frank was nice and cool with them but that can easily change. Frank had a very bad temper.
"What's on your mind?"
"What's going on between you and the blond what's her name?"
"JJ?"
"Yeah her."
"Nothing why?" he didn't like where this was going.
"I thought you two had a thing, I mean the way you protected her from the drunk and the angry agent. She treated you the same and let's not forget the kiss she gave you last night." Frank was surprised he didn't think they had seen that.
"Look I won't deny I find her attracted or beautiful, but nothing is going on between us I just meet her yesterday and none under friendly situations." Frank told them.
"But you want it to be something?" Monica said thinking she had him trapped.
"What about you and agent Morgan?" frank shot back.
"What about him?" Monica said finding her nails more interesting.
"Last night you two seemed very close." Frank smirked at his squirming agent.
"Oh look our order is here." frank laughed, as the team snickered.
JJ looked up at hearing the laugh she now had memorized, smiling when her eyes landed on frank. The girls followed JJ's sight smirking when they caught sight of him.
"Sweetie close your mouth before you catch a fly." Kate said laughing, JJ just glared at her. Garcia discreetly leaned down to henry.
"Hey pumpkin, your superhero is over there." Henry snapped his head up scanning the tables before he was able to aske Garcia shushed him.
"Quiet, he's on the table wearing a white shirt." Henry nodded quietly slipping under the table running towards frank's table. Garcia caught Kate's eye giving her a slight nod. JJ was too busy helping jack to notice anything.
Frank was eating a hash brown when he felt something pull at his shirt, frowning he looked down surprised to see a young boy looking up at him, he had dirty blond hair; he could swear he's seen those eyes somewhere. Then it clicked this was JJ's son henry.
"Hi are you frank Donavon?" hearing the voice of the boy the team turned towards them a look of relasation pass thru them.
"Yes im frank, you're henry right?" the boy beamed nodding happily.
"What can I do for you henry?" frank asked.
"I wanted to thank you for yesterday and ask you a favor?" frank frowned but motioned him to continue.
"can you teach me to swim?" henry gave him the best puppy eyes he can come up with, Alex and Monica 'aww' at the boy, frank laughed as he picked Henry up placing him on his lap.
"I'd be glad to, but we must ask your mom and dad first." Frank told him allowing the boy to grab the bacon on his plate. Alex and Monica smiled at the image of frank and henry he looked so natural with the boy. Jake quietly took his phone out snapping a picture for later use, Cody just sat their smiling.
"Mommy said yes if you said yes, daddy isn't here he's back home with his new wife." Henry said munching on the bacon.
"Agent Reid's not your dad?" frank asked.
"Uncle Spence no!" henry giggled.
"Well if your mom's okay with it im a go." Frank said calling the waitress over. "Can I please get an apple juice?" The waitress nodded walking into the kitchen.
"Where is your mom?" frank asked.
"She's right here." The entire table turned to see JJ standing behind frank. "Henry you can't just walk away like that you had me worried." She told her son.
"I'm sorry mommy but I wanted to come see my superhero." Henry pouted the team smiled at the titled frank just frowned.
"I know baby but frank is busy right now." JJ said softly scolding him. "Im really sorry about him."
Frank waved it off. "Don't I was actually looking forward to meeting him." he told her.
"Well I should go back to my table, come on henry." JJ said although she would like to talk to him.
"But I want to eat with frank." Henry said wrapping his arms around franks neck.
"Sweetie franks eating with his friends maybe another time okay." Henry sadly let go of frank's neck.
"No need the guys and I were about to leave." Alex said stopping JJ from grabbing henry.
"We were?" Cody said confused.
"Yes remember we were going shopping." Alex said giving him a glare.
"Ohh right, right shopping." Cody repeated as he stood from his chair.
"It was nice seeing you again jj." Monica said.
"You as well."
"And it was nice meeting you henry." Henry giggled as each member kissed or ruffled his hair. Frank stood their smiling as his team left the restaurant.
"Would you like to join me and henry?" JJ laughed but nodded.
"I would love to." Frank placed henry on the chair to his right, as JJ sat on the one to his left. After ordering they talked JJ ignored the looks she was getting from Kate and Garcia.
"Mommy frank's going to teach me how to swim." Henry said.
"That's great baby." She smiled at him then looking back at frank. "You didn't have to."
"No, but I want to plus gives me a reason to be around you and him." JJ blushed quickly looking away. Frank grabbed her chin turning her back to him. "Don't, I like seeing you blush." JJ was about to say something but Garcia interrupted.
"I'm sorry to interrupt but JJ we're leaving." Garcia said clearly sorry, JJ nodded.
"Let me just go wash henrys hand." Garcia nodded turning back she noticed frank eyeing JJ's ass she chuckled. She sat on one of the chairs facing him; frank raised an eyebrow at her.
"Look my friend likes you a lot and she deserves to be happy, if you plan of perusing this better be the real thing, and not some little fling that once you bang her you leave." Frank opened his mouth but Garcia stopped him. "Just listen she has been thru a lot, she just broke up with her boyfriend because one she didn't love him and two because she has feeling for another man, you. So you treat her right and with respect, because if you don't I will wipe you off the face of this earth, do I make myself clear?" all frank can do was nod. "Good, it was nice talking to you." with that she stood up as JJ walked back.
"You okay?" she asked eyeing Garcia.
"Yeah im fine." Frank said.
"Garcia mind taking henry I'll catch up in a bit." JJ asked.
"Of course peaches, come on pumpkin lets go make fun of Uncle Morgan." She said running over to the group.
"Well I have to get going; I was nice talking to you without something happening." Frank chuckled
"yeah." JJ walked past him giving him a quiet bye.
"JJ wait."
"Yeah?" frank took a deep breath 'come on frank you face criminals and you can't ask the woman out'
"I was wondering-no hoping you would like to join me for dinner tonight?" frank asked locking eyes with her.
"Are you asking me as a friend or as a-"
"Date, one that can lead to something long term." Frank said answering for her. JJ kissed him on the cheek whispering in his ear.
"I would love to." Frank held back a groan as her hot breath hit his neck.
"Great, I'll meet you in the lobby at 7:00pm?" he asked.
"7 sounds good." Surprising her he gave her a slow and gentle kiss on her neck. JJ felt a shiver run down her spine.
"I'll see you then." Not trusting herself to talk she nodded all but running to her team, frank laughed when he heard squeals of happiness. Paying the tab he left to prepare everything for his date tonight.
JJ walked out the restaurant her hand touch were franks lips were just a moment ago. Kate and Garcia exchanged knowing looks and squeals at the smile on her face. Hotch gave them a curious look, Kate just shook her head mouthing 'later'. Morgan was currently being jumped by henry and jack for a piece of candy. Reid well he was just staying clear of her for the moment. Getting into the car they drove to go touring after hours of walking around drove back to the hotel, the guys decided to take the boys to the beach again with the promise to keep an extra eye on henry. JJ was dragged into Kates room dropping onto the bed they began grilling her for details.
"So he asked you out?" Garcia asked.
"Yeah tonight at 7 im meeting him at the lobby." JJ said hugging a pillow to her chest.
"Oh my god we need to find you something to wear." Kate said dragging her out and into her room. JJ sat on the bed as Garcia and Kate ransack the closet. Throwing what they didn't like across the room, JJ rolled her eyes.
"You're cleaning all that up." she said motioning to the clothes scattered on the floor.
"What about these jeans with this blouse and those heels?" Garcia asked Kate ignoring JJ.
"No, no those jeans and that blouse don't match. How about that blouse and these jeans." Kate said, Garcia looked at her option.
"I love it, now for your hair." JJ looked at her with a horrid look.
"Oh peaches don't look at me like that, im just going curl it a bit." Garcia chuckled.
"Okay but that all you know I don't like messing with my hair." Both girls nodded looking at the clock they had four hours before seven.
The girls spent the time getting JJ ready for her date. I swear it seemed as if they were the ones going out tonight. Garcia worked on curling her why Kate picked the makeup out. Once the girls were done playing dress up with JJ, she went to get dressed. They had picked out a white sleeveless blouse with black pearls attached onto the collar, followed by black leather jeans hugging her body. She had to admit the heels were a little high, but she loved them. Standing in front of the mirror she had to admit she looked good.
"Oh, peaches you look stunning." Garcia smiled.
"We did one hell of a job." Kate said proudly. JJ rolled her eyes giving them both hugs.
"Thank you."
Garcia looked at the clock 6:30 they still had time.
"Now let's go over the rules." Garcia said trying to look serious, Kate gave her a 'are you serious' look.
"Damn right im serious, I won't have my girl getting pregnate-"
"Whoa! I don't plan on having sex with the man." JJ shrieked stopping the bubbly blond in her tracks.
"Good cause that's the major rule." Kate and JJ looked at Garcia as if she had grown a second head, not being able to hold back they busted laughing. They talked for a few minutes and only after jj agrees to give them the details was she able to leave the room, of course the followed her down.
Frank stood by the fire place ignoring the looks he was getting from the females; he only cared about one female and only one. Hearing giggles he turned only to see the most beautiful women he's ever seen, she was stunning. In that moment he felt like the luckiest man alive. Walking towards her he couldn't help but not stare.
"I think he liked it." Kate whispered.
"Ya think." Even Garcia felt hot at the intensity he was looking at JJ, she can't even imagine how she was feeling.
"You look-should I say beautiful? Or can you give me a few minutes to find a more proper word?" JJ tried hiding her blush from the older man. Frank leaned against the hand rail looking up at JJ. Frank wore dark blue jeans, a gray V-neck shirt allowing him to show off his well sculpted chest with a black suit jacket over it. Frank smirked catching her checking him out; he pushed off the rail spinning around giving her the full view. JJ blushed mumbling show off as frank laughed offering her his arm.
"Ready if you are." Without hesitation JJ took his arm feeling the firm muscles. Giving the girls a quick wave they walked towards the door. Just being her luck the males walked in blocking their exit.
