*Okay as always, I own nothing of Criminal minds I just get the privilege of playing with the characters for a while.

The two women made it to their rooms without Emily having to throw up. They had to stop halfway to the hotel and let the woman relieve her stomach of the soda she drank at the precinct but made it to the hotel with no more incidents. JJ opened the door and carried in their go bags that she had to fight Emily for at the car and finally won. "Why don't you take the bed nearest the bathroom Em."

"I think that would be wise tonight I'm sorry to say."

"Look it's only nine thirty I'm going to go and get you something for your stomach." She said worrying about Emily's health.

"I'm fine JJ..."

"No, you are not. I'll be back in a few. Why don't you take a shower while I'm gone? It might help." She said as she closed the door to their room that they were sharing. She had wondered if Pen had something to do with the mix up of only five rooms instead of six but she would handle that later, right now her concern was Emily's health.

XXXXX

Emily stood from where she had sat down on her bed and pulled her coat off and started to lay it on the bed when a thought hit her. She pulled the envelope out of the pocket of her coat that she knew was there and turned it seeing her name written on the front in the neat hand writing of Jennifer Jareau. Sitting back down on the bed she just held it there looking at it not believing she was holding a piece of the woman's thoughts. She took a deep breath gathering her courage and closed her eyes as she pulled the paper out of the envelope. She held it up to her nose and smelled the smallest hint of lavender which was the smell of JJ's lotion that sat on her desk in D.C. letting her know where the letter was more and most likely written. Another deep breath and she unfolded the single piece of paper.

Emily,

I cannot write poetry nor can I put to words everything that your letter caused me to feel.

The only thing I know I can do is be honest with you.

If I am your golden butterfly then you have to be my favorite rose that feeds my soul sweet nectar!

Love... Jennifer

She sat there starring at the words over and over not realizing tears had begun to warm her cheeks. The door to the room opened with JJ walking in expecting to hear the shower running but saw Emily holding the only words she could come up with to try and tell the woman how she felt. She held her breath a moment as Emily looked up at her. Seeing the tears on the woman's face caused her to make it to her in less than three steps as she slid across the bed between them to kneel in front of the crying woman. Emily never took her eyes off the woman once she looked up and now was looking into blue eyes threatening to tear up as well. They stayed that way for several moments until JJ inquired, "Em..."

"Do you mean it?" Was asked in a deep cracking voice as the letter was held up to eye sight.

"With all my heart." JJ said as she lifted up and engulfed the woman in an embrace. She felt Emily start to sob into her shoulder and heard her almost begging in a prayer like way, "Please mean it...oh please... but don't."

She pulled back looking into blood red brown eyes as the woman continued to sob bringing her hands up to cover her face. "Em... honey you are not making sense to me." She didn't have time to answer JJ because she was up and running just making it in time to the toilet as the heaving started from her stomach again.

JJ went back to the bags she had put on the floor before hurdling the bed and got the box of Dramamine out. Then she went to the sink and took a wash cloth and ran it under the cold water and knelt down behind Emily and placed the cloth on the woman's neck and started rubbing circles on her back again like she had in the precinct's restroom earlier that day.

It didn't take as long this time for the dry heaves to settle down. Emily found herself unable to stand on her knees anymore and started to fall to the side when JJ's strong arms came around her waist, "Shhh... fall back and rest on me. It's okay sweetie...everything is going to be okay." She said and kissed the top of her head. The normally strong and independent woman didn't have an ounce of energy left in her to fight the soft pillow of JJ's chest and laid her head back on her. They sat like that for over thirty minutes. Emily had fallen asleep on her chest and JJ just couldn't bring herself to wake the woman up but the tiles had become uncomfortable and the room was becoming cold. She also knew Emily needed to get under some cover or risk catching a cold.

"Em...honey... we need to get you into bed." She said as she gently shook the sleeping woman.

"I bet you tell that to all the women," was crooned out in a sultry voice.

JJ looked around to see if the woman was truly awake or dreaming and found that she was very much asleep but smiling from ear to ear. "Em..."

"I know it's closing time but don't go. You always leave and I'm left here missing you."

"Emily honey wake up you are drea..." She didn't get to finish the statement because Emily had slid down to her lap and reached up and pulled her head down towards her face. When the distance was right she pulled JJ into a kiss all the while with her eyes closed. JJ slowly pulled away from the lip lock, "Not that I mind but I want you fully awake and realizing you are kissing me when we do this again." She said shaking the woman with authority, Emily...wake up."

"What..." She said as she sat straight up almost hitting her head on the toilet.

"Careful..." JJ said reaching up to be a buffer between the woman's head and the porcelain. Emily turned and looked around trying to figure out where she was. "JJ...why are we sitting on the bathroom floor?"

"You fell asleep after heaving your guts."

"Oh...yeah." She said as she stood and offered a hand to JJ to help her up. "Please don't ever tell anyone about this. Morgan will not let me live it down."

"I won't if you tell me who you were dreaming about before I woke you up." She said teasingly wanting to know who the woman kissed in her dreams. Emily looked at her a moment then walked out into the bedroom to change into her sleeping clothes. JJ followed and changed into her night attire as well leaving the question she asked to be answered once again by unspoken words.

okay I wrote this last night be hadn't finished reading it to post... I'm at the library and am going to write hopefully another chapter and get it up in a little bit. So this really isn't a cliff hanger even though it is... :)
