Chapter Seven
Authors Note: I hope that people are reading this story, it is a little harder to write then I thought. I am combining two of my favorite shows and throwing our favorite women in there. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about JJ..
Chapter seven
Alex had set her alarm the night before to make sure that she was up and properly dressed before Zoe woke up that's all she needed was to be confused even more. She carefully got out of bed trying not to wake Emily; she then went to take a shower.
It took Emily a minute to realize that Alex was gone, and then she heard the shower start, which made her breathe easier. She thought that Alex had left again, without even saying goodbye this time.
Emily got up and headed straight to the coffee pot, she thought that some things may never change; she always had coffee waiting for Alex.
"Emily Prentiss you are in so much trouble" Alex hollered just loud enough to be heard. As she walked down the hallway Emily could now see the reasoning, on the side of Alex's neck was the proof of the night they had spent together.
"oops, sorry.. but in my defense I was thinking about you in general, not just your neck.." Emily retorted, a part of her was proud of the mark, it had been so long that she didn't care who saw it. Today was going to be a good day.
"how you think that I can hide this thing"
"I don't think that you can, you are just going to have to wear your hair down and try to deal with it. I'm sure it won't be there for more than a few days. It will be ok"
"ugh, ok thanks for the coffee but I'm sure Olivia has gone into the station and I have to go home and change clothes before I go back to work"
When Alex arrived home she was right, Olivia was not there. She thought that she was lucky, but as she changed she also realized that meant that it was going to be a long tense day. Normally when she fought with Olivia they would have it out at home so that it didn't interfere with their work, she hoped that wouldn't be the case today.
It was 9 am when Alex walked into the precinct, she was surprised to see everyone there except for Olivia and Elliot which she assumed would be chasing a lead. She noticed Emily smile at her and she flashed a small one back hoping that no one else would notice.
She got so wrapped up in conversation with the team that she had completely forgot about the hickey as she pushed her hair back.
"well I'm guessing since Liv just up and left that she wasn't the one you were in bed with last night" Elliot proclaimed as he walked up to the group.
"what do you mean she left?" Alex asked concerned
"exactly as I said she went to Don's office first thing this morning and put in for leave, I didn't understand she wanted this guy more than most of us, but now I get it. It was because of you wasn't it"
Emily backed her chair up almost to prepare to protect Alex
"Elliot, my issues with Olivia is not your concern and if she chose to take leave it was not due to my reasoning, nor is it my fault"
"yea, whatever. If we don't catch this guy because I don't have my partner this one is on you"
"enough Stabler can we please just focus on the case" Emily butted in
"sure, the sooner you leave the better off things will be" with that he walked over to his desk and started to go through the files again.
It wasn't until the bull pen was almost empty that JJ went over to his desk.
"if you are here to defend her, you mine as well go back to your board"
"oh believe me I am not.. but I would like to know where you partner is"
"how would I know, and if I did why would I tell you"
"how, is because you are her partner and I have seen the way you protect her, if she only told one person that person would be you, and why would be because I think that if I talk to her I can convince her to come back"
"really what makes you think that you can bring her back if I can't"
"because you are probably the last person she wants to while she is going through this, and I can relate. I know what it is like to continue to love someone who breaks your heart"
"what is it about Emily that makes everyone lose their brains"
"how did you know it was Emily"
"I'm not blind I have seen the way you look at her, and I can see that her being with Alex bugs the hell out of you"
"Well exactly I don't want Emily with Alex anymore then Olivia does, and maybe with some common ground I can convince her to still work the case even if it is not here.. will you at least let me try"
"ok, but I swear to god, if you screw her up more…"
"I won't if she doesn't want to see me then I will leave"
With that Elliot wrote down the address in which JJ could find Olivia. She thanked him and then she called Hotch to tell him that she was going to take a break. Off to Olivia's hiding spot she went..
Do you think that JJ can make Olivia come back? How about the whole thing with Elliot being angry with Alex? Let me know what you think….
