AN: I know it's been a long time (January 2013 actually) since the last update. I apologize. First other stories called my attention then I lost my hard drive in June. This is a small chapter but it's mostly filler before we get to the good stuff. Hope it doesn't suck.

Chapter 9

The next morning, JJ awoke to the warm feeling of the sun shining through her bedroom window. She loved waking up to the sunshine, one of the many reasons why she loved living in California. The sun was almost always shining and JJ loved feeling the warmth of it on her skin.

She rose from her bed and slowly made her way over to the master bathroom, ready to begin her day. It wasn't until she was standing under the spray of hot water that she remembered what was happening today. Her hands froze in their travels over her body with the soapy washcloth as she realized that, if everything went according to Emily's plan, her stalker would be in police custody by the end of the day. JJ felt a shiver run down her spine despite the heat and steam of the shower as she thought about what that would mean…for her and Emily.

Once her stalker was safely tucked away in a prison cell, JJ would be free to actively seduce her beautiful bodyguard. JJ smiled as she thought of all the things she wanted to do to and with that sexy body Emily hid beneath her clothes.

She finished her shower, a little more turned on than she was when she woke up, and wearing only her panties, bra and a robe, she made her way down to the kitchen to get the coffee started before she woke Henry.

JJ walked through the living room and she smiled when she noticed that Emily was asleep on the couch. JJ stopped walking for a moment as she silently observed the sleeping woman. It was rare to find Emily asleep, JJ had only ever woken up before the dark haired bodyguard once before and even then she knew it was a rare and beautiful gift to be able to see Emily like this. She had vowed that first time, to see it again…in the morning after they spent the night pleasuring each other well into the early morning hours.

JJ was on her way back through the living room to wake up Henry before she got dressed when she noticed Emily was wide awake now sitting on the couch. JJ smiled at her bodyguard. "Good morning. How'd you sleep?"

Emily smiled up at her client, realizing she was probably naked under that robe and the thought made Emily smile. She knew that after today, she wouldn't have the excuse of being on the job to keep her own emotions and desires at bay. Emily cleared her throat, "Slept fine. Are you…are you ready for today?"

JJ thought about her role in Emily's plan. She grinned, "I'm ready. Best role of my life…aside from being a mom that is."

Emily just nodded as her eyes strayed towards the stairs. She thought about Henry and wondered if, after this assignment was over, she'd ever see him again. She also wondered why she was feeling sad over the thought of not seeing him or Jennifer again. Kids had never been in any of her plans for her life after what happened when she was 15, but there was something about Henry that tugged at her heart.

Emily turned back to Jennifer, "well, hopefully this will be the end of your stalker problem. When he makes his move, we'll grab him and he'll be locked away for a long time."

JJ nodded, "I hope you're right Emily. Well I better go get Henry up and then get dressed."

JJ left the room and went up the stairs, the whole time she felt the heat of Emily's gaze on her body and she smiled, realizing Emily felt the same as she did and it was only a matter of time before they would be free to act on their desires.

JJ arrived at the studio just before 9 am with Emily and Ziva following her. They made it all the way to JJ's dressing room before Kennedy stopped them. "Um, Miss Jareau?"

JJ turned to smile at the younger girl, "Yes Kennedy?"

Kennedy was a little nervous, not knowing if she would get blamed for what she was about to say and hoping she could convey it wasn't her fault. No one had told her about it until this morning. "Um, apparently there's a visitor here to see you. He says he's the winner of the studio's contest to meet you."

JJ frowned for a moment then remembered the contest that the studio had started a month before her stalker problems became bad enough to require a bodyguard. "Oh right. Yes…well um…can you set him up in the extras room for a bit while I get settled in?"

Kennedy nodded, grateful she wasn't being blamed for the last minute change in the day. "Yes Miss Jareau. Just call for me when you're ready and I'll take you down there."

"Thank you Kennedy."

With that, Kennedy left and JJ entered her dressing room with Emily, Ziva stayed outside the door as was her usual routine.

JJ turned to Emily as soon as the door closed, "Contest winner?"

Emily grinned, "It actually worked out perfectly. The contest was already active before we came on the scene so it wouldn't look suspicious if all of a sudden you had a contest to meet you. This was the studio's contest, we just hijacked it. Not to worry though, the real winner will get to meet you just…not today. Today it will be Reid as the contest winner."

JJ thought about that and nodded, it was actually pretty brilliant. "Okay, so…FBI Special Agent Spencer Reid is going to play the part of my 'biggest fan' who won a contest to meet me and…what's going to happen Emily?"

Emily sighed as she realized she hadn't shared the final details with Jennifer yet. It was time to reveal her whole plan. Emily took a seat across from Jennifer who was sitting on the small couch and she said, "The plan is simple. Reid is being your biggest fan. In his excitement to meet you, he's going to come on a bit…aggressively. He's going to get close and make it look like he's a threat. At that point, Ziva will step forward and put him on the ground, subduing the 'threat'. Once that happens, it's your cue to get angry with Ziva and with me as well since I won't do anything to stop her and in fact I'll be pulling you away from the two of them. In your anger, you will loudly and convincingly fire the both of us. We'll try to convince you to change your mind but you won't waver. Then, defeated, we will walk away and Reid will stay behind. You have to apologize to him for us and be extra sweet to him. We're hoping that your stalker will see you being flirty and sweet with another man, without your bodyguards around to stop him, and he'll be too jealous to think clearly and he'll make his move. When he does, he'll attack Reid, thinking he's an easy target. Reid will take the dive. When your stalker advances on you and tries to get you to leave with him, you have to let him get you outside of the studio. Once he does, we'll swoop in and arrest him. Sound good?"

JJ took a moment to think about Emily's plan. She had only been told about having to fire Emily and Ziva not about the rest of it. She had to admit the plan seemed perfect. "What if he doesn't try to take me out of the studio?"

"He will. After attacking Reid, he'll want to be far away, seeing you without bodyguards as being unprotected he'll want to whisk you away before you come to your senses and call us back or something." Emily looked into Jennifer's eyes, "Nothing will go wrong Jennifer, I promise you this nightmare will end today."

JJ nodded, trusting Emily to keep her safe. "Okay…let's do this then. Where?"

"The main stage I think. The bullpen set should be perfect, there's an open space in the middle where Ziva can put Reid down without hurting him."

"Okay. Should I call Kennedy and have Reid brought to the set?"

Emily nodded, "Yeah, that would be better than you meeting him in the extras room and having to find a reason to bring him to the main set."

JJ walked over to the in-studio phone on her wall and dialed Kennedy's extension. When the girl answered, JJ asked her to bring the contest winner to the bullpen set, she wanted to give him a thrill by meeting him on the set of the show. Kennedy agreed and JJ hung up.

She took a deep breath before she headed for the door and the performance of her life.

Two hours later, William LaMontagne Jr. was sitting in the backseat of an LAPD cruiser, handcuffed and waiting transport to the local precinct to be booked on assault (for attacking Reid) and attempted kidnapping (for taking JJ outside of the studio with the intention of kidnapping her). Emily knew that after he was in custody, Oracle and Gatekeeper would be able to provide her with enough evidence linking LaMontagne to the stalker that JJ's manager, Aaron Hotchner, had successfully documented for the police. Emily would then have Rossi add on the official federal charge of stalking to the charges.

Emily stood next to Jennifer as she stared at the cop car. Seeing the man in the back seat now, JJ was trying to remember where they crossed paths but she was coming up empty. She turned to Emily then, "So it's over?"

Emily smiled down at Jennifer, "It's over. He'll go to prison for a very long time and you won't have to ever worry about him again. If there's a trial, you will have to testify but I'm pretty sure he'll cut a deal. Even with a deal though, he won't get less than 15 years for the kidnapping and stalking and assault." Emily paused to take a deep breath, "You can move on with your life now Miss Jareau. It's been a pleasure knowing you."

Emily forced herself to walk away then, knowing Jennifer was safe and that her job was done. She was the last one left at the studio, her entire team had gone back to the office to write up their reports on the case and to also prepare their statements for the local police to ensure LaMontagne would spend the maximum time in prison the law would allow.

The FBI team had gone to the local precinct to help finish processing the suspect. Emily watched as the cruiser pulled away and left with LaMontagne. Emily made it to her car when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see Jennifer standing there.

"Um…can I get a ride home? You drove me here this morning, remember?" JJ grinned, hoping for just a little while longer with Emily before she walked out of her life. JJ was still determined to seduce Emily but now that it was time, she needed to formulate a plan of her own.

Emily nodded, "Of course Miss Jareau. Hop in."

JJ got into the car and put on her seatbelt. She sat quietly in the passenger seat as Emily drove confidently and quietly through the streets of L.A. towards JJ's house.

Emily was torn between needing to leave and wanting to stay but she pushed her wants away and forced herself to leave JJ's house and drive away after she dropped the actress off.

Emily drove through the gates and left the posh but quiet neighborhood behind as she drove the Safe Haven offices. She still had a ton of paperwork to do before she could close the book on this case and she was determined to make sure nothing went wrong with putting LaMontagne in jail for a very long time.

A month went by and Carrie could no longer deny that something was wrong with her sister. Her stalker had cut a deal and gotten 25 years in prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years.

Carrie watched as JJ went on with her life, going to work every day and coming home to be with her and Henry but…there was something off about her. Her smile was a little dimmer than usual and Carrie would sometimes find her sister standing in the living room just staring at the couch, with a sad, longing look in her eyes.

Finally, Carrie couldn't stand it any longer and she confronted JJ about it after Henry had gone to bed. Carrie stopped JJ in the kitchen as she was loading the dishwasher, "So, you want to tell me what's been going on with you lately?"

JJ's grip faltered briefly on a plate she was about to place in the dishwasher but she recovered and looked up at her little sister, "What are you talking about? There's nothing going on with me Carrie."

Carrie wasn't buying that, "Oh really? So this moping around you've been doing…that's all in my head?"

"It must be because I haven't been moping around." JJ denied, not in the mood to tell her little sister that she was heartbroken over losing Emily. Which was ridiculous because she had never really had her in the first place. Emily had never made any promises she hadn't kept when she'd had her stalker arrested. All Emily had ever promised her was to protect her and her son from the man who was stalking her. She had done that, and JJ only had herself to blame for all the fantasies she'd weaved around Emily.

She had imagined the dark haired woman showing up on her doorstep after the dust had settled and confessing to feeling the same desire and emotions that JJ felt for her. But with each day that had passed without Emily showing up, JJ had grown more despondent. She had wanted to make the first move and win Emily's heart but, she didn't know how to find Emily. She'd never learned where the Safe Haven offices were much less where Emily actually lived. None of her contacts in the business had ever even heard of Safe Haven or Emily…or that's what they had said at any rate. JJ knew they weren't admitting to needing a bodyguard like Emily, not wanting to be fodder for the tabloids if it ever got out.

So JJ had been forced to wait for Emily to make the first move and it was driving her insane with longing.

Carrie watched her sister for a few more moments before she nodded to herself. "Okay, well if that's the story you're going with I guess there's not much else I can do." Carrie turned to leave the kitchen then she turned back and said, "Oh, wait, there is one thing. I can give you this. What you do with it is up to you." Carrie reached into her pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper. She placed it on the counter between them, making sure JJ saw it, then she turned to leave, "Good night JJ." Carrie was halfway up the stairs when she whispered, "and good luck."

AN: Hope you weren't disappointed by not getting to read the action as it happened but I am not good at writing that stuff, (the action and Ziva taking down Reid and stuff) so I described it and it pretty much went as planned. The next chapter will deal with the fallout of that day as well as what Emily did for that month that I skipped over. And we find out what that paper Carrie gave JJ was all about. No promises on when but hopefully soon.
