Chapter Ten: You're my Prince.

A Phone vibrating on the bedside table brought Emily out of the slight slumber she had fallen into.

After their earlier conversation Emily had texted Hotch to let him know she was taking JJ back to the hotel and would be back when the blonde had fallen asleep as she was exhausted.

Hotch had replied telling Emily to stay with her, he would call her if he need her, which Emily was grateful for. She didn't want to leave JJ, but she knew they had a job to do and they have to still be professional.

Upon returning to JJ's hotel room the two of them had settled on the bed together with Emily resting against the headboard and JJ laying curled up next to her, her head resting on Emily's chest as they watched a movie quietly on the TV in the room giving both of them peace to let their minds go over all that had happened so far through the day.

JJ's exhausted muscles finally began to relax as Emily had been gently running her fingers through her hair and up and down her back eventually lulling the blonde into a much needed deep slumber.

Emily had soon followed suit, the low hum of the TV and the warmth from JJ's body pressed against her making her realise how tired she was.

Before giving in and allowing sleep to come she had sent a quick text message to Morgan asking him and Reid to help her with a few things, a plan she had set in action in her mind while watching JJ sleep.

The phone on the table vibrated again, this time for longer signalling a call rather than a text message, sighing Emily reached towards the bedside table gently not wanting to wake the blonde and picked up the phone.

Looking at the caller ID she saw it was Hotch calling, so quickly pressed the answer call button before placing the phone to her ear.

"Hi Hotch." She said in greeting, quietly, not wanting to wake JJ.

"I just wanted to give you the heads up that Morgan and Reid now know about the situation. I filled them in on what's going on. Not everything, just the basics. They know not to pry, they understand what they need to for the case. The rest is for JJ to tell when she's ready." Hotch said.

That made sense Emily thought, Morgan had given in very easily to her requests by text message earlier, no teasing, no mention jokingly of her owing him a drink later.

"Thanks Hotch." Emily said with a relieved sigh.

"I'm sure Jen will appreciate that." Emily continued, thanking him on JJ's behalf.

Telling herself, Hotch and Gideon had been hard on the blonde, she didn't want her having to have the conversation again until JJ was ready to do so.

"We got a bit of information from Garcia, about the trail. It seems that Charles Tyln and Donald Collins, the killer, may have known each other at the time of the murder. That's one of the reasons it went to retrial, there was thought that Donald had cohered Charles into confessing for the murder. There was enough doubt to call the retrial, but no evidence to fully support the claim until as JJ said, Donal got rattled on the stand" Hotch explained.

"He's her step-brother you know?" Emily asked, partially stating the fact.

"Yeah, we figured as much. Do you think she would know if the claims were true?" Hotch asked.

"I dunno. She hasn't said anything to indicate that. I don't really want to push her too much Hotch." Emily said concern in her voice.

She knew for the case it would be useful information to have, but she wouldn't do that to JJ, screw being professional.

"There is another way." Hotch started.

"We interview Donald Collins." Hotch suggested.

Emily nodded to herself a sigh leaving her body, her one arm unconsciously pulling a sleeping JJ a little closer to herself, as though to protect her.

"I wanted to ring you first, before I make any arrangements. From the information Garcia has on the retrial it seems he has a strong hatred of women. I think this interview will go better with it being me and you there." Hotch explained.

Emily's hand that had been stroking the blonde's hair while she listened to Hotch paused.

She knew Hotch was right, the two of them together would get more results if there was truth to the claim, but could she do this professionally?

Hell could she do it all, would JJ even want her too?

"I want you to know this isn't an order, I won't think any less of you if you say no to this. This is going to be personal for all of us, but I understand if this is something you can't do." Hotch assured her after receiving no answer.

"I want to do it." Emily answered making up her mind.

"I want to look into his eyes when I tell him what I think of him." She continued.

"Don't worry Hotch. I will be professional about this, but there's one thing I need him to know." Emily finished.

"Okay." Hotch agreed.

"I'll arrange it for tomorrow morning" He said finalising the arrangements between the two of them.

"I understand you have plans tonight. If you need any help let me know." Hotch said his tone of voice changing from business to a more friendly natured tone.

"Thanks Hotch, will do." Emily said with a smile before hanging up the phone.

She looked down to the blonde asleep next to her and dropped a gentle kiss to her forehead, before turning her attention back to her phone.

She opened a text message from Morgan that read – 'All sorted, let me know what you are ready, Derek.'

Smiling Emily began typing out her reply with one hand, the other hand drawing patterns on JJ's back as she slept.

10 years ago.

Mrs Jareau couldn't believe this was happening, how she had not seen the signs she did not know.

You read and hear about it all the time, things to look out for.

Things to pay attention to.

How had it got so far without her even realising?

She knew that she hadn't been here enough, she should have been here more.

Especially after Rosaline.

That should have been the first warning sign.

Right now was sat in a small chair hunched over a hospital bed her hand holding tightly onto her fourteen year old Granddaughter Jennifer Collin's hand.

The girl was small for her age and far too thin, the white hospital sheets making her look even more frail than she already was.

She was hooked up to Machines that were beeping at a slow pace showing that her heart rate was steady.

Her face was badly bruised, she had a cut lip too.

Her one hand was in a cast, Mrs Jareau had been told she had broken it from the landing after the car had hit her.

She wouldn't have known her Granddaughter had even been hit if it wasn't for the small towns Sheriff Stan Mosley calling her to tell her what had happened.

Mrs Jareau had moved a few towns over about five years ago, being in the town where she lost her husband had been too hard for her especially after Sandra's death, there were too many memories.

She moved to live with her son Richard Jareau, Sandra's older brother, and his family.

She had come back to visit as much as possible but she had no idea of what had been going on, she still didn't now.

They hadn't been able to ask Jennifer yet, only theorise, as the blonde was still asleep.

If it hadn't been for Sheriff Mosley making the snap decision to break protocol and call her rather than Jennifer's father or half-brother she probably would still know nothing now.

Sheriff Mosley had been the one who accidently hit Jennifer as the she had ran into the middle of the road right in front of him.

He had decided to call Mrs Jareau back to the small town upon seeing the state that the fourteen year old had been in after he hit her.

She had no shoes on, her feet were bleeding, how long she had been running he had no idea.

She had been bleeding badly from her back, the blood had soaked through her clothes.

She seemed very out of it when he had approached her to see if she was seriously injured from the collision, he had been sure that she was on some sort of drug.

She had been barely conscious when he had waited with her for the Ambulance to take her to the hospital but she had been mumbling things.

Things that worried him, that made no sense, but at the same time made perfect sense for the condition that he had found her in.

He had told Mrs Jareau, Susan as she always insisted he call her, everything when she had arrived no more than an hour after the incident.

He was sure she must have broken all the speed limits getting here but he decided now was not the time to comment on that.

So now he was stood behind the chair that Susan Jareau was sat on, both of them waiting patiently for the fourteen year old to wake up.

The doctor and nurses had seen to Jennifer's injuries and set up a drip to get some fluids into her body to help wash out what ever drug she may have been on.

"Jennifer, open your eyes sweetheart." Susan said gently to the girl after hearing her moan and seeing her head move from side to side, she was waking up.

"Come on Jenny, show me those lovely blue eyes of yours." She continued her hold on the girls hand growing a little tighter as Jennifer's eyelids began to slowly flutter open.

"Grandma?" Jennifer croaked confused.

"I'm here darling. How are you feeling? Are you in pain?" Susan quickly assured then asked her granddaughter.

"I'm okay." Jennifer replied weakly, she didn't want to worry her Grandma.

"Do you remember what happened?" Susan asked gently.

She watched as Jennifer nodded, her eyes meeting her own for a second before glancing behind her to where Sheriff Mosley was stood then moving back to stare down at the bedsheet.

Susan Jareau could have sworn she saw fear in Jennifer's face, just for a second, before her face became blank, devoid of emotion.

It seemed to her like this was something that was far too well rehearsed, practiced.

It made her worry how many times she may have missed it before.

"It's okay you're not in trouble." She quickly assured her granddaughter, whose eyes looked up for second to meet her own before looking back down again.

"If you are feeling up to it we do need to talk though. About what you said to Sheriff Mosley. About Donnie." Susan said watching closely for Jennifer's reaction.

She became worried as the machines Jennifer was hooked up to began to beep quicker indicating that her heart rate had increased.

Looking from the machines back to her Granddaughter she could see that Jennifer was struggling to breathe while shaking her head, her eyes closed tight.

Susan Jareau could now see nothing but fear on the blondes face.

Present Day.

A knock on the door brought JJ out of her musings as she was sat on the bed listening to music on a channel on the TV.

"Did you forget the keys again Em?" She called out towards the door smiling to herself as she got up off the bed and started walking up to the door.

Emily had left twenty minutes prior telling JJ she was going to get them both some food.

In the time that she had been gone JJ had taken a quick shower and had changed into more comfortable clothes of jeans and a long sleeved blue top.

"Hey Bullseye." Morgan said in greeting with a smile when JJ opened the door.

'Bullseye' was his own personal nickname for JJ that came about after she had beaten him at darts the fifth time in a row one night.

"Morgan! Hi." JJ said in surprise, she hadn't expected it to be him.

Morgan chuckled at her shocked look, he was glad Emily had let him be involved in this.

"You might wanna put some shoes and a sweater on." Morgan said noticing the blonde's attire.

"Why?" JJ asked confused.

"I'm taking you out somewhere." He replied with a smile.

"I was waiting for Emily, she went to get us some food." JJ said still confused.

"I know." Morgan said.

"She sent me to get you." He finished.

He laughed to himself as JJ's mouth formed an 'o' shape before she disappeared into the room.

She returned a few moments later wearing a pair of converses that had been well used and a knitted cream sweater that looked expensive, causing Morgan to raise an eyebrow in her direction.

"Isn't that Prentiss's sweater?" He asked, he could have sworn he had seen her wear it before.

"Shut up." JJ said closing the door to her hotel room and locking it.

Morgan laughed again before holding his arm out to JJ.

After learning what had happened to JJ on this Island to say he was worried would be an understatement, but he knew JJ and he knew she would hate it if he treated her differently to normal.

In his own mind he thought that may have been why she had never told anybody.

"May I escort the lady to the owner of that lovely sweater?" He asked with smile.

JJ let out a small laugh before linking her arm with Morgan's as the two of them began walking.

"Such a gentleman." JJ joked with a smile.

"I try." Morgan replied with a smile as the two of them walked up to a door, leading to a flight of stairs, walking past the lift.

"Where are we going anyway?" JJ inquired as Morgan opened the door with his free hand letting JJ go in first before following her.

He placed his hand on her back gently guiding her to start walking up the steps.

JJ threw a confused look over her shoulder, Morgan said they were going out, yet he was leading up higher in the hotel.

"It's a surprise. You'll soon find out don't you worry." He replied mysteriously.

"I'm not a big fan of surprises." JJ admitted.

In truth she hated them, she had rarely found herself enjoying the surprises that life through at her, they made her nervous.

"You'll like this one." Morgan promised her.

They both came to a stop at the end of the staircase, a door was at the end of the small corridor.

The door was already slightly open due an extension cord, which was plugged in a socket near the door, leading through it on to the flat roof of the hotel.

"She's waiting for you." Morgan said indicating to the door.

"On the roof? Why?" JJ asked.

Shaking his head Morgan smiled at his friend, she really didn't like not knowing what was happening.

"You really hate surprises don't you?" He asked.

"Can you blame me, with everything we see?" She replied.

Morgan nodded in agreement.

"Fair point. It's just Prentiss out there though, how bad could it be?" He shot back at her with a smile before gently steering her again in the direction of the door and turning to leave.

Morgan knew Emily as well as JJ, he had known her longer that was sure.

He knew as well as she did that even though she acted as tough as nails, really she was a giant teddy bear at heart.

Unless someone she cared about had been hurt, then she was scary as hell.

"See you later bullseye." Morgan said descending down the stairs as JJ walked up to the door.

Opening the door further JJ stepped out on to the roof before pulling the door back into place behind her.

Her eyes strained trying to see, still adjusting to the different light now that she was outside.

Following the extension cord on the floor to the left side of the roof top JJ could begin to see the outline of a figure of similar build to Emily.

"Em?" She called, checking it was her girlfriend, while slowly making her way over to the figure.

"Come here Jay." Emily called back as she plugged a cord into the last remaining socket on a two plug extension lead causing the roof to light up instantly in colour full lights.

Turning her head towards her Emily could see JJ was stood on the spot looking around in amazement.

Smiling Emily got up from the floor where she had leant down to plug in the socket and made her way over to her girlfriend.

"I take it you like it?" Emily said chuckling as she stopped in front of JJ and gently looped her arms loosely around her waist.

"I…It's beautiful." JJ said lost for words, looking around she could see lots of different coloured fairy lights hung up around them.

On the floor there was a blanket laid down with some pillows on it as well.

A small table was set up to the side with a CD player on it, classical music was softly playing from it.

Behind that was a larger table with some bowls filled with different foods on such as melted chocolate, strawberries, cake, sandwiches and a few other light snacks.

At the back of the table with the different foods on were wine glasses, two already filled and a wine cooler behind that with a bottle in it.

It was simple, but beautiful.

"Just like you." Emily said kissing JJ softly, drawing her attention back on herself.

Emily laughed again.

"Just so you know, you look adorable in my sweater." She said noticing what JJ was wearing.

JJ laughed too, shaking her head, a blush appearing on her cheeks.

"Totally adorable, I'm going to have to leave more of my clothes around for you to wear." Emily said before kissing JJ again.

She smiled to the blonde before un-looping her arms from around her waist, taking her hand, and leading her over to the blankets and pillows on the floor.

"How did you even manage to do this in the twenty minutes you were gone? Wait are we even allowed to be up here?" JJ asked looking around as she followed Emily.

"I can be very persuasive." Emily said in response with a light chuckle.

"I may have also had some help." She finished before sitting down the blanket and patting the spot next to her indicating for JJ to do the same.

JJ laughed as she sat next to her girlfriend, Emily was right she can be very persuasive.

"Remind me to smack Morgan later, he could have given me some warning." JJ said with a smile causing Emily to laugh next to her.

JJ sighed in content as Emily pulled them both down so they were laying on their backs looking up at the sky.

Emily's arm was around the back of JJ's neck her fingers tracing gentle patterns up and down her arm, her head resting on one of the pillows next to JJ's.

"Well, you'll need to smack Reid and Hotch too. They helped as well." Emily said after a moment's thought.

"I think you just changed my opinion on surprises." JJ said in a whisper.

"Good." Emily said turning her head to face JJ's and placing a kiss to her cheek.

"I wanted to do something to take your mind off of everything." She said gently, as JJ turned her head towards her looking into her eyes.

"I remember you told me once that when you felt overwhelmed you would look up at the stars and you would feel completely at peace. I think we both need that right now, what do you think?" Emily asked.

"I think this is perfect." JJ said threading her hand with Emily's that was tracing patterns on her arm and bringing their hands up to her mouth placing a kiss on her girlfriend's hand.

"I think you're perfect." JJ said leaning in to kiss Emily, as she brought their joined hands down to rest above her chest.

"So are you." Emily replied after they broke apart.

They both turned their heads to look up at the stars in the sky, Emily's thumb gently stroking the hand that held her own.

"When I was little I would look up at the stars and always look for the prince. I know it's technically a knight, but I always called it the prince. I would imagine that one day he would jump out of the sky and come to find me." JJ said.

"You did huh?" Emily said turning to face JJ, listening intently.

"I never really believed in fairy tales, not after everything that happened anyway. But looking at the stars and seeing the prince always made me feel better." JJ continued staring up at the stars, she had noticed Emily watching her.

"How about now? Does it make you feel better now?" Emily asked gently.

JJ didn't answer for a moment, she continued looking at the stars up in the sky as Emily continued watching her.

"I don't need to look for the prince anymore, not in the sky anyway." JJ said turning her head to look into Emily's eyes.

"I found my prince, it's you Em. I never imagined it would happen. But when I'm with you I feel…I feel like a princess." JJ said with a tearful smile.

"You are a princess Jennifer Jareau, and I'm honoured that you choose me to be your prince." Emily said leaning down to kiss her girlfriend, the classical music still softly playing in the background.
