AN: Disclaimer in earlier chapters. I own Chris and a few other OCs.

I love Law and Order SVU and couldn't resist throwing it in there. It adds some humor.

But alas...I own neither SVU or Criminal minds.

*sigh*

Hope you enjoy! =D


CHAPTER 7

Carrie stood at the fountain and smiled nervously when Jack walked up.

"You ready to go?"

"Yes, I was wondering if you'd like to walk there." Carrie said.

"Sure." Jack smiled. "More time with a pretty lady."

Carrie blushed and hid her face behind her hair. "Thanks."

"No problem, pretty girls like you deserve to be told."

They got to the coffee shop and got a table by the window.

"I don't mean to sound weird or stalkerish, but I've seen you around and noticed you've been down a bit lately. We graduate in three days, you should be happy." Jack said sipping at the latte he ordered.

"Oh, my girlfriend left unexpectedly for some business." Carrie said and Jack raised an eyebrow.

"Girlfriend?"

"Yeah, Chris Prentiss, she graduated a year early last year." Carrie said.

"I remember her, she was amazing at Formal." Jack said. "How is it between you two? If you don't mind me asking."

"We're fine, she has a knack for taking off unannounced but she always comes back." Carrie said softly. Why was she telling him that? Crap, that smile.

"I wouldn't do that. Not to sound like a mood killer but what if she doesn't, I don't mean like if she dies, what is she just decides that she's found something better where she's at?" Jack asked.

Carrie wanted to slap this boy in the face yet he had a point. There are girls that are prettier than her yet she chose her. Carrie pushed all the doubt away. Chris loves her. She shouldn't question that. "I trust her." Carrie said.

"Does she trust you?"

"I have never given her any reason not to." Carrie said taking a sip from her coffee. She checked her watch. "I'm sorry, I have to go, it's my night to cook dinner for my foster mom's pregnant girlfriend." Carrie said standing. She grabbed her coffee cup and he stood with her.

"I'll walk you to your car."

"Thank you." Carrie said as they walked in silence.


When JJ got home Emily wasn't there. She smiled to Carrie when she stepped into the kitchen.

"What's for dinner tonight?" JJ asked placing her bag and keys on the bar counter.

"Tacos." Carrie answered. "With steak, beef or chicken, your choice really." Carrie smiled stirring around some ground beef so it wouldn't stick to the pan.

"Sounds wonderful. Have you heard from Emily at all today?" JJ asked.

"Wasn't she at work?"

"No, Hotch told us she called in and wouldn't be at work today or tomorrow." JJ said. "He asked me if I knew anything about it."

"When I got home Chris' laptop was out, so she was home." Carrie said flipping a tortilla on the pan on the back burner.

"Ok."

That ended their conversation.


Emily was in the balcony room she had brought JJ to and smiled as she examined her handy work. The restaurant brought in a larger table that would fit everyone and the view was just the way it was when she brought JJ for their first date. She set the room up now she just needed to arrange the food and drinks.

She checked the time and decided it was time to call it quits for the day. She headed home just as Carrie and JJ were cleaning up.

"Hey, we saved you some, we weren't sure if you had eaten yet." JJ said as Emily smiled kissing her softly before hugging Carrie.

"Thanks, I'm starving."

"Where were you today?" JJ asked.

"I was running some important errands." Emily said sitting at the table.

"Like what?" JJ asked.

"Just errands." Emily said as Carrie announced she was going to go do homework and headed upstairs.

"That's all I get?" JJ asked.

"No, I was running errands because I'm setting up for the surprise I'm giving Carrie after graduation." Emily said. It wasn't a complete lie.

"What kind of surprise?" JJ asked.

"Now if I told you that what kind of surprise would it be?"

"Are you insinuating that I get something out of this surprise?" JJ asked as Emily smiled.

"I never said or insinuated, I just know that you can barely keep a secret since you've gotten pregnant." Emily said with a grin. "You'll tell Garcia who will eventually let it slip to Carrie one way or another and then it is ruined."

"I resent that you are calling me a gossip girl." JJ pouted.

"I didn't call you a gossip girl."

"But you insinuated." JJ said as Emily kissed her once more before finishing her dinner.

"Come to bed with me?" JJ asked.

"I don't get the couch?" Emily asked. She was sure JJ was still a bit upset with her.

"I miss you too much when I don't have you in my arms at night." JJ said as Emily kissed her deeply before leading her to their room.


The next day Carrie found Jack waiting at her locker. He smiled upon seeing her and she politely smiled back.

"Good morning good looking?"

"Couldn't be original?" Carrie teased making him frown.

"I tried." He shrugged.

"It was cute."

"So graduation is in two days. Any word from Chris?" he asked as Carrie shook her head.

"She's been in and out of court so I don't know when I'll get to talk to her again."

"Shouldn't she be making time? I mean if I loved someone as much as you say she does you then she would make time." Jack said and Carrie was shocked at is assumption.

"She's a busy person. I knew that before I got into a relationship with her." Carrie said opening her locker. She was in the process of cleaning it out.

"Doesn't the fact that you're foster sisters bug you?" Jack asked and Carrie whirled on him.

She was on the defensive and offensive now. "A piece of paper says we're foster siblings, but we're more than that ok!" she snapped and he raised his hands in defense.

"I didn't mean to offend you, I'm sorry." He says and Carrie softens up.

"I didn't mean to snap. I care about her a lot, I love her." Carrie sighed putting a few notebooks into her bag.

"Sorry for insulting her. Walk you to class?" He asks holding out his arm.

Carrie smiles and nods. She can't help but think of what he said about Chris making time.


I know it's short. Sorry.

Review please. =D
