Ah sorry guys for the long time between updates, but all my uni assignments have been due, went on a mini holiday, and have been sick, so apologies for the wait.

Thank you for reviewing, much appreciated :D

"Will, can you see my stomach in this?" I asked as I walked out the bedroom in what would have been the fourth change of clothes.

"You're not even showing yet, so there's nothing to see," he said looking up from the sofa. I could tell the numerous outfit changes had gotten to him. Especially seeing as we were meant to leave twenty minutes ago.

"I don't know," I added looking down, I patted down my chest until my hands rested on what was supposedly a non-existent bulge. "You know what?" I said mostly to myself. "I'm going to change," I finished as I turned around and headed back to the bedroom.

"Oh no no no," Will said quickly standing from the couch and chasing me down. "You look great. Better than great. You look amazing," he continued, as he blocked my path. His hands found their way to the sides of my arms to stop me going any further. "Everything you've tried on has been just as good, another change won't do any difference."

"This will be the last one. I promise," I said trying to move passed him, but he wasn't budging. "I feel like I'm bursting at the seams in this one," I explained, and he looked me over, before giving me a look that said I was crazy.

"Hey, look at me," he said and I lifted my gaze to meet his. "You don't need to change again. No one will be able to tell. I can't even tell, and I know," he tried to reassure me, and it was half working. "But it's a bar, it'll will be dark, and no one will be looking at your stomach."

"I'm sorry," I said, I knew he was right, it was just hard not to be insecure about this.

"So what do you want to do? Do you want to get changed or do you want to go?" He asked giving me the only two options.

"Let's go," I conceded. Will breathed out a sigh of relief, as he turned me around and walked back out to the living room. Picking up my bag from the table, I walked to the door, with Will fresh on my heels. Will pulled the door closed after us, and I could tell he was happy to hear the lock sound and be finally out of the apartment.

"I thought you two were going to stand us up," Emily said as we walked over to the group. Standing around a table was Emily, Derek, Penelope and Spence.

"Yeah, you got this one all riddled up," Derek grinned as he pointed over to Penelope, whose eyes grew in embarrassment. I laughed at her reaction.

"Sorry, my fault," I apologised.

Penelope's eyes darted between both me and Derek, trying to decide who to focus her feeling's at. Just as I thought they had landed on me they moved across slightly and I realised she was staring right at Will. "So you must be the New Orleans detective who stole our young JJ's heart," Penelope said.

"Only because she stole mine first," Will answered, and Penelope began to fawn over his words. I grinned more to hide my embarrassment, then show my amusement.

"Right," I said trying to move us along. "Will, Penelope. Penelope, Will," I introduced them. "Now you can talk about how horrible I am because I didn't let you meet each other for a year," I joked.

"All in due time, Cher," Will smirked, as he ran his hand up and down my back. "Seeing as I'm the new guy, first rounds on me," Will said as he took his wallet out from his jeans pocket.

"Ah you're a good man LaMontagne," Derek said patting Will on the shoulder.

"What can I get everyone?" Will asked looking around the group.

Everyone rattled off their beverage of choice, and I could imagine Will's gears turning as he tried to remember it all. "And you know what I want," I said, and Will nodded before turning to walk over to the bar. "Spence, can you go with him to make sure he doesn't forget anything," I suggested. If anyone was going to remember the whole order in would be the resident boy genius.

"Sure JJ," Spencer said following Will to the bar.

"So what do you think?" I asked walking over to Penelope. I knew even with that short meeting should would have formed opinions on Will.

"You didn't mention the accent," she said, making both Emily and me laugh. "And oh sweet yums, that boy is fun to look at," she said as she twisted her head back over to the bar.

"Okay calm down there Garcia, he's already taken," Emily said as she mimed fanning Penelope down.

"Yeah Baby girl, you're making me a little jealous," Derek said.

"Don't be, you will always be my number one," she said as she lifted her arm up around his neck and landed on his other shoulder.

"When he gets back can we lower the crazy, just a bit, please?" I asked, hoping to move on from this before Will came back.

"Anyone would think we embarrass you," Derek said in a tone that suggested he found this situation hilarious.

I shot faux dagger eyes at him just as Will and Spence came back holding the six glasses between them. Emptying the contents of his hands onto the table, Will slid one of the filled glasses over to Emily. "And a vodka and Sprite of you," he said as he passed the clear glass over to me. Of course the glass was 100% Sprite, but the team didn't need to know that. Will and I had come up with this plan in the car ride over here.

"Thanks," I said taking it from his hands, before he walked around me to take the far seat. Placing the glass down, I took the seat next to him. Everyone seemed to take the cue and grabbed a seat themselves.

….

"So what have you been up to today?" Derek asked. Both Emily and Penelope had wandered off to the bar in search of new drinks.

"Ah nothing much, just hanging around the apartment," Will answered.

"Yep, just catching up really," I added.

"Oh I know what that's code for," Derek winked before taking a mouthful from his beer glass.

"No, you really don't," I replied.

Before Derek could say anything Penelope and Emily were placing a tray of four shot glasses on the table. I looked at them nervously, just hoping one of them wasn't for me. "Shots," Penelope said happily taking one of the small glasses.

"JJ?" Emily motioned for me to take one as she took one herself.

"Oh no, I can't. I'm driving," I said giving a legitimate excuse.

"Come on, one more won't hurt," Penelope said pushing the shot towards me. I looked over to Will nervously knowing the girls wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. I knew he could read my panicked look.

Bringing his half empty beer glass down to below table height, he tapped my knee with it, and I could work out what he was suggesting. "Okay. But just one," I said pretending I had conceded to them. Bringing the shot glass over to me, I held it low. "Okay. One. Two. Three," I said counting. As they threw their glasses, I swiftly tipped the contents of my glass into Will's. As they lowered their heads back I watched their reactions closely and mimicked their faces.

"Wow," Penelope breathed out.

"That was stronger than I was expecting," Em added.

"Burnt my throat," I lied and pretended to cough the liquor back.

"I want another," Penelope said, and Emily's eyes widened on shock.

"Go ahead," Em offered as there was only one glass left on the tray.

Will took a sip of his newly mixed drink, and shuddered at the taste. I leaned over to his ear, so I was closed enough not to be heard by anyone but him. "Thank you," I whispered. Turning to face me he nodded before placing his lips quickly on mine.

"Any time," he smiled after our lips parted.

"Awww you guys," Penelope said and I pulled away from Will, it was weird knowing we were being watched.

Hope you enjoyed

Please Review :D
