Chapter Six: Movies & Wine.
After a while JJ had cried herself to near exhaustion and Emily had decided it was time for the two of them to move from the cold church floor and make their way back to the hotel.
This had proved difficult due to the bad weather outside and due to the fact that JJ was drained and exhausted that she couldn't walk without having Emily to lean on for help.
However the two of them had made it back to the hotel and with very little convincing on her part Emily had managed to get JJ to stay in her room with her rather than the blondes own room.
Emily had told JJ it would be better because hers was closer and they were both tired, when really Emily had just wanted to get her girlfriend into bed and stay with her the night, she didn't want her to be alone after what she had found and out.
If she was honest she doubted that JJ wanted to be alone either, not that the stubborn girl would admit that.
After getting back to the room Emily had leant JJ an extra T-Shirt she kept in her go bag and a pair of shorts, not that the shorts were needed as Emily's T-Shirt engulfed the small blondes frame so much already.
Emily had started stripping down to change into her own nightclothes, while JJ went into the bathroom closing the door near shut to do the same.
After getting changed Emily had got into the bed under the covers and turned the TV on reducing the volume to a low hum waiting for her girlfriend to return.
Emily had known JJ was shy about her body for some time, it was part of the reason they had not had sex yet, she didn't want JJ to withdraw from herself during a moment of passion.
JJ had told Emily early on before they even started dating that she had never got that far with a women and Emily could tell she was nervous about it.
Emily didn't want to push her, she was happy to wait and let things go slowly between the two of them. She was even relieved to some degree, she always went into relationships way too fast. Before she was really ready for it things would be getting sexual, and she didn't want it to be like that with JJ, she wanted it to be when they both were ready so neither of them would regret it.
Emily had always assumed JJ would not change in front of her and was shy about her body due to her nervousness about being with a women the first time, about being with her.
However after tonight's events and the way JJ had spoken about herself, the way she saw herself, Emily was beginning to wonder if there wasn't something more to it.
After seeing how tired JJ looked upon returning from the bathroom she decided against asking her any more questions about what had happened to her when younger for tonight.
She had already found our earlier before leaving the church that JJ's mother had been murdered in that same church. Emily couldn't even begin to imagine the emotional turmoil JJ must be in being to be back in the place her mother was shot.
She had also found out that JJ had been 11 when her sister killed herself. Emily in truth didn't know what she could do to help her with this. She had no idea how JJ felt. All she knew was that she would not let JJ blame herself for something she had no control over.
She vowed to herself to spend every day reminding her girlfriend how amazing she was, how beautiful she was, and how this was in no way her fault. Not one bit. It was that monsters fault, the person who shot her Mother.
That was one thing she hadn't found out yet, who it was that killed JJ's mother. When she had tried to ask her girlfriend the name of who had shot her Mom she had completely frozen up, Emily could have sworn she had even stopped breathing for a second before completely shutting down from talking about that topic any more.
Emily hadn't been surprised at all that when JJ returned from the bathroom she left the door open slightly before joining her in the bed and snuggling right up against her.
JJ had pressed her body right up against her side with her head resting on Emily's chest, an arm thrown over her stomach.
Usually when the two shared a bed they would fall asleep facing each other having been talking before going to sleep and would wake up wrapped around each other.
JJ liked to cuddle in her sleep, that was something Emily found out before they even started dating, not that Emily minded at all, she liked being able to hold JJ as she slept. Even more so now they were dating and there was not that awkwardness when they awoke with JJ blushing and apologising about ending up half laying on top of her friend and Emily making a joke about it to try and make light of the situation.
Now there was no awkwardness.
They were just content to lay together.
JJ's smaller body naturally fitting against Emily's.
JJ's hand slowly and unconsciously slipping under Emily's top to rest on the bare skin of her stomach while she drifted off to sleep, as Emily's arm tightened around JJ's back holding her closer to her body. Emily's hand rubbing gently up and down the blondes back as she too drifted off to sleep remembering the first time the two of them ever fell asleep like this.

2 Years ago.
JJ, Emily, Garcia, Reid and Morgan were currently at a bar in Quantico enjoying a well-earned and rather rare evening off together.
With Spencer Reid's 23rd Birthday coming up and with them having not celebrated JJ's 22nd the team had decided an evening out was required for the two newest recruits that had now been with them 6 months.
It hadn't been till Reid had asked JJ when her Birthday was knowing the two were close in age that the team found out she turned 22 on her second week of working with them and had not told them, saying she didn't want them to feel as though they had to do anything.
As the night had gone on Hotch seeing that it was getting late bid farewell to his team wanting to get home to Haley and his son Jack who was turning one in a few months' time.
Later Gideon had also wished the younger agents a good night and left as well leaving now only the younger members of the team still enjoying the night.
Currently Emily and Garcia were sat at the groups table watching as Reid was performing some of his card magic tricks to them while Morgan and JJ were playing darks a bit further back at the bar.
The dart game had become heated with both agents being competitive but JJ was winning by a long shot, the game had the attention of many others in the bar.
Everyone watching had become rather engrossed with the game and how the 'pint sized blondie' as Morgan had dubbed JJ early in the game was so easily beating her component.
"Remind me to never challenge you again." Morgan said as he placed the darts back on a table near the board on the wall.
"You just ruined any credibility I had here in the space of 25 minutes!" Morgan exclaimed looking down at his watch, causing JJ to laugh.
"I told you I was good." JJ replied.
"Yeah good. Not a bullseye dead shot." Morgan said. "Your full of surprizes today aren't you?" He continued chuckling as JJ just shrugged.
"Meet you back at the table." He called over his shoulder walking further into the bar towards a sign that said 'Toilets'.
Smiling as Morgan disappeared behind a wall where the 'Toilets' sign was JJ turned back to the dart board and walked up to it placing her own set of darts back down on a table beside the board next to where Morgan had placed his darts.
She turned and went to leave just as a man with sandy brown hair walked up to her stopping her in her tracks.
"You got a nice arm there, for a little thing." The guy said, a slight slur to his speech, he had quite obviously been drinking for a while.
"Thanks." JJ said a little unsure.
She tried to step round him but he moved to block her again.
"The names Mark and you are?" He said extending his hand out for JJ to shake.
"Jennifer." JJ replied.
She didn't shake his hand, she didn't know this man and he seemed a bit too drunk for her liking she wanted to get away from him and get back the others.
"Nice to meet you, but my friends are waiting so I should go." JJ politely said trying to step around him again only for him to block her once more.
"I'm sure they will be okay for a bit, we're only just getting to know each other, how about a dance?" Mark said, clearing not getting the hint as he took a step closer to JJ trying to reach for her hand only for JJ to step back her legs hitting the side of the table.
JJ felt herself starting to panic, she felt trapped, she could feel the table behind her, this guy, mark was in front of her and he wouldn't let her get passed.
It felt like the walls were to close, she hated that feeling and the panic that came with it.
Looking over her shoulder there was no sign of Morgan, he was still in the toilet.
She tried looking for the others at the table but couldn't see past Mark.
He was tall and not exactly a thinly built man.
"No, thank you." JJ said politely, a nervousness in her voice.
"Excuse me please." She said trying to push past him only to find her arm in a vice grip in his hand pulling her back in front of him.
"What's the rush?" Mark said his grip tightening more causing JJ to wince.
"Let me go please." JJ said trying to free herself again.
"One dance won't hurt. What, do you think you are too good for me or something?" He continued ignoring JJ's request a bit of anger in his voice.
"She's way too good for you in my opinion." Emily said behind them, when Emily had got there JJ had no idea but to say she was glad was an understatement.
Startled slightly Mark let go of JJ's arm and turned to face Emily.
"You should go now." Emily said.
"Before I arrest you for assaulting a Federal Agent." She continued raising her eyebrows slightly at Mark who had yet to leave.
"Hey lady I didn't assault anyone!" Mark exclaimed both hands going up in the air slightly in a surrendering position.
Emily just continued to look at him while Mark looked from her back to JJ who looked away quickly her one hand rubbing her arm where a red angry hand print was.
Mumbling under his breath Mark took off in the crowd leaving the two girls alone, Emily watching him till he left the building.
"You okay?" Emily said her attention turning back to JJ who was looking at her arm, her hand still rubbing where the red hand print was.
"Yeah, just bruise easily is all." JJ explained looking up to Emily.
"Thanks…for…you know." JJ said not really knowing what to say.
She hated that she needed to be helped out of a situation like this, she was a 22 year old FBI Agent, she shouldn't need help, but she was glad Emily had been there.
Emily just nodded.
"You would've done the same for me." She said trying to make her friend feel better, she could see how self-conscious JJ was, the feeling was radiating off of her friend in waves.
"You wouldn't have needed any help." JJ said annoyed with herself looking down.
"I did a couple of years ago." Emily said, causing JJ to look back at her in surprise.
"Nothing happened. But like you I needed help to get this guy to stop hassling me and Morgan was there. It can happen to anyone, even us. Don't beat yourself up about it." Emily said with a smile trying to comfort her friend.
JJ nodded, she smiled back to Emily in thanks.
"It's getting crowded in here." Emily said noticing more people coming from the door.
"Fancy ditching the boys for a girl's night in with me and Pen? I've got Netflix, popcorn and wine." Emily suggested, not liking how her friend still seemed very self-conscious.
"Wine and movies sounds great." JJ answered, glad for the escape.
She smiled as Emily wrapped an arm gently around her waist in a friendly yet protective gesture before leading the two of them over to the table where the others were waiting for them.
An hour and a half later the three girls found themselves fast asleep on Emily's couch missing the film they had decided to watch which was still flickering away on the TV in front of them.
After returning to the table Garcia had quickly agreed to a movie night at Emily's place just as Morgan arrived back from the toilet.
After a few minutes the gang had finished their drinks and had all piled in a taxi together the girls being dropped off first before the boys, Morgan still complaining as to why he couldn't join them for movies and wine to be told by Emily that he didn't have the right parts for a girlie night unless there was something he was not telling her.
Once at Emily's the three of them sat on the couch JJ in the middle with Garcia and Emily on either side of her, each with a glass of red in their hands while Garcia was selecting a movie for them to watch.
After half an hour of the movie all three had finished their wine placing the glasses on the table in front of them and Garcia had fallen asleep her head resting on the arm rest of the sofa with an arm thrown over for good measure.
Emily and JJ had laughed before Emily got up and placed a small blanket on top of the bubbly blonde, which was found on the back of the sofa, to keep her warm.
Emily grabbed a second larger blanket from the back of the sofa and after sitting back down placed it over herself and JJ to keep them both warm.
Half an hour later both girls had fallen asleep JJ's head resting on Emily's shoulder an arm thrown over Emily's stomach under the blanket.
Unconsciously in their sleep both girls moved into more comfortable positions which resulted in them both laying across the sofa from Garcia, feet dangling off the sofa edge. Emily laying with her back on the sofa, JJ on her side half on top of Emily half on the sofa. Emily had her arm around JJ's back holding her while JJ's head rested on her chest her one armed draped across Emily's stomach.

Present Day.
The Morning came around far too quickly for Emily and JJ neither of them having gotten much sleep due to their late night at the church, however for now the rain had at least stopped.
Tiredly the two girls had got out of bed, showered and dressed for the day JJ returning to her own room briefly to do so, before Emily came to her room to take her to breakfast at a small café down the street from the police office to get them both some much need caffeine and food for the day ahead.
After a long talk before leaving and a lot of convincing on JJ's part, JJ had managed to get Emily to agree to not tell the other members of the team about what had happened last night and what she had told her.
Emily had agreed on the condition that JJ was to come to her immediately if she found herself being overwhelmed again and that if it started to effect the case they would have to tell the team, but they would do so together.
Now the two Agents were sat side by side in the small Café, Emily have 10 minutes prior ordered their breakfasts, drinking coffee trying to prepare for the day ahead as Morgan and Reid walked through the door.
Upon spotting their friends Reid made his way over to the them passing Morgan a handful of notes on the way having already told his friend what to order for him.
"Are Hotch and Gideon the only ones that actually like the food they serve at the hotel?" Reid asked taking a seat opposite JJ, not at all surprised to find them here.
"Apparently." JJ replied tiredly draining her coffee cup before refilling it from the jug on the table.
"Well Hotch is far too polite to not eat there, and Gideon, he will eat anything." Emily stated as though it was a fact.
"I know there were budget cuts in our department but you would thing they could swing for a decent feed for us considering the hours we do." Emily grumbled, continuing.
"And decent coffee." She finished, taking the jug from JJ and refilling her own cup, causing Reid to laugh and shake his head.
He wondered how his two friends didn't kill each other in the mornings, they were both irritable before having a decent coffee.
"Late night?" Morgan asked as he dropped in the seat opposite Emily next to Reid. He passed a few notes and some coins back to Reid before sliding a can of coke his way too, he then opened his own can.
Emily raised her eyebrows at him causing him to laugh, challenge accepted Prentis, he thought to himself.
"Or a busy night should I say?" He said causing JJ to cough, chocking on a sip of coffee she just took, and Emily to pat her back to help her clear her airways.
"JJ are you okay?" Reid asked concerned, clearly oblivious to what Morgan was referring too and why his friend had reacted to it.
"I'm fine, just swallowed the wrong way." JJ said her breathing now back under control, Emily's hand still tracing light patterns on her back.
"Jerk." JJ muttered to Morgan causing him to chuckle, before she herself laughed, Emily too at the confused look on Reid's face.
The four Agents were so engrossed in the conversation that they didn't notice the man stood across the street watching them through the window.
He was wearing a blue jacket, jeans and a baseball cap.
He had his phone out, the camera on, it was zoomed in on JJ.
He took a photo of JJ smiling before placing the phone in his jeans pocket and walking down the street into the early morning crowds of people.
AN: Uoh…Looks like trouble is a brewing, any ideas on who the guy might be? What you think is to come? Don't forget to let me know what you think!
