Thank you for the reviews. I hope you enjoy this chapter. One more to go.
JJ walked into the familiar station, knowing that her relationship was going too exposed to her whole team. It wasn't like she didn't plan on telling them this weekend but she wanted to be on her terms and not some crazy case. What she did know is that everyone would still be professional at least until the case was solved. She noticed Will, Charlie, and Sam standing around Will's desk with a couple other detectives, JJ assumed they were from the other precinct.
"Agents, it's good to see you again." Charlie stated when he noticed them.
"You too. I hope everyone remembers Agents Morgan, Jareau, Prentiss, and Dr. Reid. This is Agent David Rossi and both of our Tech Analyst Penelope Garcia and Kevin Lynch."
"It's nice to meet the rest of you. We have everything set up in the conference room including the computers that Agent Jareau told me you would need. I also cut down the people working the case." He explained as he walked towards the conference room.
JJ was relieved at least Charlie was going to be professional, she followed the team into the conference room, giving Will and Sam a small smile as she passed them. Once the team was settled, the other detectives joined them. Charlie introducing everyone to Sam and the two detectives from Mississippi, of course most of the team remembered Will. They went straight to work trying to find the unsub who had taken an 8 year old girl.

Two days later.
Once again, Morgan noticed Will watching JJ however this time he knew they had been seeing each other since the last case.
"You still trying to play with fire?" he asked as he walked up to Will's desk.
"She is still something special." Will replied simply as they watched JJ on the phone.
"You are asking for trouble." Morgan laughing.
"We might have something." Reid told the men.
Will and Morgan walked back into the conference room, sitting down listening to what Reid was telling the team. He was interrupted when JJ came in the room more than mad, she was still on the phone with a reporter.
"You are right I can not stop you from running the story nor can the FBI. Let me tell you what I can do if you run the story and something happens to that little girl." She paused for a quick moment.
"Listen very carefully. If something happens to her, you will be charged with conspiracy to the crime, you will also be charged with interfering with a federal investigate, you will have a hard time getting a job in any market other than how fast does grass grow. I will also make sure that you are charged with any other charges I can think of." She told them, not looking at anyone in the room, as she listened to the report respond.
The team and Will knew this case was hitting her hard and that she was thinking of Kenzie.
"Do you really want to try me? Your story could get someone's child killed and I promise you that I am not playing games with you. I will wait until your story is printed before I press any charges but I suggest you go to your editor and find out what he would like to do." She told him, before hanging up the phone.
"Such a know it all jackass." She mumbled, before turning around to see everyone staring at her.
"What?"
"You do know that we cannot press those charges." Reid started but stopped when he seen the look on her face.
"I will find a way, they are going to run her name and a picture. If she makes it out of this do you really think that is what she needs."
"JJ, why don't you?" Hotch started.
"I am fine."
The team looked at Hotch, while Will, Charlie, and Sam stared at JJ.
"You should call her." Will finally spoke up.
He didn't care that they were being professional, nor did he care that the team was not supposed to know about them, all he cared about was that she was hurting. JJ started at him, not saying anything.
"He is right, take a couple of minutes and go call Kenzie." Rossi told her.
"I called before talking to the reporter, she is taking a nap. Haley said she would call when Kenz woke up."
"Then take a minute to breath." Hotch told her.
"We don't have time for that."
"Rachel brought lunch for everyone. Why don't we eat and let you calm down?" Charlie coming back in the room.
"I'll help you carry it in." Will standing up.
Morgan, Hotch, and Rossi went to help them, while Reid continue looking at the map and JJ sat there staring at her phone. When the guys plus Rachel came back in Garcia decided to say something.
"Gumdrop, do you have something you want to share with the group?"
JJ looked up at her.
"Come on, we both know that between Kevin and myself we can pull up anywhere you have ate at in the last ten years."
"Not the time or the place."
"Is Will who we were going to be introduced to this weekend?" Emily asked with a smirk.
Will and JJ looked at each other before JJ looked at the team.
"Yes, Will and I have been seeing each other since the last time we were here. I was going to tell everyone this weekend but the case came up. Can we get back to the case?"
"Eat first then talk to Kenzie. You are not going to be any good if you let your emotions get in the way." Hotch told her.
The whole room was quite for a couple of minutes before Rachel spoke.
"JJ did your daughter like her doll?" she asked.
"Yes, she loves it." JJ smiling at the thought of Kenzie and her doll.
"Good I told him it was a good choice."

It took the team another three days to find the unsub and the little girl, who thank god was unharmed. The team was not leaving until the morning, after packing up the files Charlie, Sam, and Rachel had insisted on taking them out on the town. JJ and Will agreed to go but JJ wanted to talk to Kenzie first.
/
JJ took a quick shower at Will's, once Will was in the shower she called Kenzie. JJ explained to Kenzie that she would be home tomorrow and they would spend the next couple of days together. After reading Kenzie her story, they told each other good night before hanging up.
"You sitting on my bed in just a towel, I could definitely get used to." Will told her from the doorway.
JJ gave him a half smile.
"Talk to me." As he moved to sit next to her.
"This is the only night we get to spend together, tomorrow I go home and I can't leave Kenzie this weekend."
"I understand that. However, I do not understand why you look so sad."
"Because I want to be there and here. I feel so conflicted and scared that I am letting everyone down."
"You are not letting anyone down. I love you so much and Kenzie loves you. I know that she comes before anything and we both knew there would be times when this would be hard. But you never have to choose between us." As he pulled her into his arms.
They sat like that for a while, before getting ready to meet everyone at the local bar.
Okay, so originally I thought this would be the last chapter. However, I believe that the team would give her a hard time, so I am going to make this into a two part ending. Next chapter will be the last.
