Was dorking around on twitter today when one of the people I follow tweeted about how she just reread one of her favorite Willifer fics…then she posted the link to it…well what do you know! It was this one! Made me feel happy but also like a jerk since I haven't updated in ten years ;)

Thanks to CMCrazies, lexjl, Sophia0665, nyegnye and SSAmolloy7 and Jenntedisco for reviewing! I just passed 70 reviews! I'm actually shocked at the amount of readers this is still getting considering my erratic updating schedule haha. Thanks for reading :) you guys are pretty awesome. Here ya go!

JJ woke up when the sun started to peek through her blinds. Blinking a few times, she tried to remember how she had ended up in bed snuggled up next to Will's chest with his arm wrapped around her protectively. She smiled and pulled on his t-shirt a little, relishing the close contact. JJ heard a groan as Will shifted around, taking the arm that wasn't wrapped around her and rubbing his face. He squeezed her in for a sideways hug and chuckled when she burrowed deeper into his side, hiding from the sun and the reality of getting up.

Will rolled over on his side and wrapped his other arm around her as well, "We have to get up eventually, Jay,"

JJ had both hands in his shirt, still not looking up. She just mumbled a reply that he couldn't understand.

"How you are such a mornin' person during the week when this is what happens on weekends, I will never know." He pulled her over so she was lying on top of him, her head still buried in his chest.

"That's easy," She said, more understandable now that she wasn't buried as much, "I don't have to do anything today. Nothing to get up for."

"Absolutely nothin'?" His hands inched towards her sides.

JJ's eyes were still closed but she could feel what he was about to do, "William LaMontagne, if you start tickling me you will find that there's going to be a lot of pain in an area that I know you're particularly fond of." She moved her knee so he could feel it lodged between his legs.

"Woah there, hot stuff. I come in peace."

She tensed as he touched her sides but he just rested his hands where her t-shirt had slid up her torso, revealing some skin. JJ finally opened her eyes and rested her head on her hands, looking up at him, "Why do we have to get out of bed if I'm content with being right here?"

Will's hands started a slow path up her sides, taking her shirt with it. He had a huge smirk on his face and could feel her heart beating faster as his hands got further up her sides. Will stopped when he got underneath her arms and pulled her up farther on his body so he could kiss her.

JJ stretched out her arms and rested her elbows on either side of his face, her hair creating a curtain around them. She just smiled down at him, her sides on fire from where his fingers had crawled up her sides painstakingly slow.

Leaving her shirt rolled up to her arms, Will moved his hands to her face, rubbing circles on her cheeks. "Still don't wanna get out of bed?"

JJ faked like she was making a hard decision, "Well, now that you say it like that…" she pushed up on her arms and moved her legs like she was about to get up.

"Oh hell no!" Will pulled her back to his chest and kissed her deeply. JJ broke off the kiss because she was laughing so much before sinking back down to his level and reconnecting their lips.

Will's hands went back to her t-shirt and he impatiently tugged at it. JJ broke them apart again with a smirk before throwing her shirt on the floor. Her breath whooshed out of her body as he flipped them both over, putting him on top.

Brushing her hair out of his way, Will planted kisses along JJ's collarbone. The blonde's eyes closed in pure bliss, her earlier inhibitions forgotten as he worked wonders on her skin. His mouth moved lower on her chest and his hands moved higher up on her ribcage.

They were so engrossed in each other that they almost missed JJ's cell ringing on her nightstand. Almost.

Will groaned and sucked a spot on her chest long and hard before pulling back so she could turn over and answer her phone, keeping one hand on her bare stomach.

JJ saw it was Reid calling her and propped herself up on her elbows, eyebrows crinkled, "Spence?"

He skipped a greeting and launched into his normal rapid speech, "JJ, I went out to Gideon's cabin last night and his badge and credentials were there, along with a note addressed to me. How did he know I was going to be the one to go and check on him? I didn't even decide to go out there until after the case was done. I mean, I don't even know how he knows some of the…"

Rubbing her eyes, JJ cut him off, "The note, Spence? What did it say?"

"He's not coming back, JJ. He's gone for good." She heard his voice crack and he sighed.

JJ leaned back down on the bed and rested her hand on Will's hand that was still on her stomach, "You ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry for calling you. You were probably still sleeping. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called. I just needed someone to talk to."

"Hey, it's ok. You sure you are though? I can come over if you still need to talk."

Spencer waited a few seconds before saying, "That'd be nice…" in a small voice.

Smiling a little, she replied, "Be there in a few," before hanging up.

JJ put her phone back on her nightstand before looking over at Will. He was just staring at her with a smirk, "Ya know, if I didn't know any better, I'd think somethin' was goin' on between you two."

She rolled her eyes and got out of bed, but he kept talking, "Well maybe there is somethin' happening there? I'm not here all the time…you're with him almost twenty four seven…maybe you get lonely on cases sometimes?"

After throwing on a shirt, JJ turned around and grabbed Will's head from where he was still laying on her bed, smashing her lips on his. She wouldn't let him out of her grasp until they were both gasping for air.

"That should answer your questions on whether or not I like Reid," She panted, still inches away from his face.

Will's face broke out in one of his genuine smiles before he wrapped his arms around her neck, dragging her back down to his level. JJ hovered over top of him, not laying all the way back down, knowing that if she did, she wouldn't get back up.

Pressing her lips to his once more, she frowned slightly, "I have to go."

He ran his hands up her now-covered sides one more time before dropping them, "I know."

JJ held his hand for a second before leaning back on her heels. She brought his hand up to her mouth to kiss it before getting up. Changing out of her pajama shorts, she grabbed the nearest thing to her, which were her black yoga pants.

Will sat back up again, "Woah there. Not only does Reid get to see you today, but he gets to see you in yoga pants too? You've got to be kidding me. I haven't even seen that!"

She tucked in her loose-fitting tee into the front of her pants, turning her back to Will so she could hide her grin. All of a sudden, she felt his arms wrap around her, preventing her from walking to the bathroom. JJ sighed, leaning back against Will's chest.

"You know, you've seen a lot more of me than I would ever want to show Reid," JJ stated.

"Damn straight," He murmured into her hair, hugging her close.

"Will, I really have to go talk to him. At least for a little while. I promise I won't be long."

"Maybe you'll have breakfast waiting when you get back," Will smiled as he pulled away from her a little, twirling her around to enjoy the view. "I do love those yoga pants, by the way."

JJ faked a pout, "I thought you'd like me without them, but hey, that's just me." She made sure to sway her hips a little extra as she walked away towards the bathroom.

Will just groaned, knowing he couldn't do anything while she still had to visit Reid. He flopped back on the bed, trying to ignore the last sentence she had muttered.


JJ's visit to Reid had been quick. He had already calmed himself down by the time she arrived. They had a calm discussion about Gideon's departure and after one long hug and one call to inform Hotch later, JJ was en route back to her apartment.

She walked in to the smell of pancakes and bacon frying on her griddle. JJ waited until Will had flipped over all of the pancakes before coming up behind him and slipping her arms around his waist. He didn't jump like she thought he was going to.

"I heard you come in, hun. You can't scare me," He said as he continued to cook.

"That sounds like a challenge, LaMontagne."

Will started putting all of the food on one of her bigger plates and turned around when he was done, "Try all you want. Not gonna happen." He placed a kiss on her forehead before taking the food to her dining table.

JJ went to join him but the doorbell interrupted her and she froze, eyes wide. Who the hell could that be at 10 o'clock on a Saturday morning? All of her guesses had something to do with the BAU and she wasn't sure if she wanted to enlighten any of her team members to Will's existence yet.

Will read the look on her face and motioned that he would wait upstairs until her visitor was gone. He had an inkling about why she hadn't told anyone yet and was dying for JJ to let him into her life more, but he wasn't going to push it. Will crept up the stairs just enough so he could still hear what was going on, but far enough that he wouldn't be seen.

JJ walked over to her door and looked out the window, sighing in relief once she saw who it was. Penelope Garcia already knew about her relationship, so she wouldn't have to explain anything this morning. JJ opened the door to the whirlwind that was PG.

"Hey Jay, just wanted to let you know that both boss man's and Em's paperwork…" Garcia trailed off, noting the extra pair of shoes and men's coat haphazardly thrown on her entry room table. She then squealed and looked at JJ with wide eyes, "Is he here?"

Sighing, JJ shook her head, "Please don't scare him. I actually like this one."

Penelope just smiled like crazy and charged into her house, "AND he made you breakfast! Aww, Jay!"

JJ hoped that Will had had the sense to go all the way into her bedroom so he would be spared of the fawning Penelope was undoubtedly about to do to him, but she realized that he probably was just on the stairs trying to listen in. She shut her front door and joined Penelope in the dining room where she had discovered their breakfast.

"So, what were you saying about Hotch and Emily?"

Garcia rolled her eyes, "Not now! I need to meet him! Where is he?"

JJ folded her arms and waited. Garcia did the same. When JJ realized that she was really hungry and actually wanted to eat the pancakes sitting on the table in front of her and that the only way she was going to get to eat them was if Garcia was satisfied, JJ gave in and walked off towards her staircase, leaving Garcia squealing.

She peeked up the stairs to see Will sitting on the top step, smirking. JJ just shook her head and motioned for him to come down before going back to her kitchen to get plates and silverware. She might as well dig in and enjoy the show.

Will came into the dining room in all of his glory a few seconds after JJ did. Penelope just had the biggest grin plastered across her face. She held out her hand for him to shake, but after one look shared between JJ and Will, he pulled her in for a hug.

After he released her, Will joined JJ at the table. He saw JJ glance at the stack of what looked to be plain pancakes, but after he took the top two off of the pile and revealed the chocolate chip ones underneath, her face turned into a smirk. Will buttered his pancakes before dousing them in syrup, not bothering to offer any to JJ, knowing she liked hers plain anyway.

Garcia just watched the interaction with a huge smile. Will obviously knew her blonde friend pretty well. Penelope sat down across from JJ, "Well, you two are certainly friendly."

Will shrugged, "It's been almost four and a half months."

JJ stopped chewing for a second, "It has not been that long!"

"I think it has sugarplum. I saw plane tickets dating at least four months back," Garcia added.

JJ's eyebrows just rose as she dug back into her breakfast. It hadn't felt like four months to her.

"Oh, by the way, I've been thinkin' about that date you mentioned." Will casually said.

"Yeah?" JJ wondered why he brought that up now.

"Yep. Charlie texted me this morning when you were gone. Guess which two detectives were chosen to represent our district at the yearly gathering we have in Baton Rouge?"

"Hmm…" JJ smiled, "Charlie I can see…what about that big, blonde-haired guy?" She remembered a burly man who had been particularly interested in her at Will's mom's funeral. Before Will had said that she was his girlfriend, of course.

Will frowned, "There's no way in hell anyone would send Steve in to represent anyone."

JJ leaned over to kiss his cheek, "I was kidding…"

"I know," Will's signature smirk flashed across his face, "I just wanted you to feel bad so you'd have to kiss me. Anyway, Charlie and I are headed to Baton Rouge next week and we're allowed to bring dates." He winked in her direction.

Garcia had been observing this interaction with a smile plastered on her face, but she squealed when Will mentioned the date. "Oh Jayje! That means we can go shopping!"

"I have clothes!"

She huffed, "JJ, if Will and his friend were chosen as representatives for this shindig, I'm guessing there's going to be real important people there, sweetheart. You don't have anything sexy enough for that."

Will nodded, "There's gonna be tons of important people there. Charlie and I are representing our district, but there are seven others in New Orleans alone. Of course, all of the higher ups are going, too."

JJ sighed and Garcia took that as acceptance, "We need to go as soon as possible! How about tomorrow?"

Waving her hand, the smaller blonde agreed, knowing that her energetic friend wouldn't give up, "Yeah, sure, Pen."

She smiled and then changed the subject. "So, Will," Garcia started what JJ knew to be her interrogation phase, "I've heard you have a nice house?"

Will nodded, "I bought it after Katrina for dirt cheap and fixed her up. It's pretty nice."

"Pretty nice?" JJ snorted. "It's amazing."

"Your credit score certainly doesn't say amazing." Garcia quipped, a frown on her face.

JJ dropped her fork, "Garcia!"

Will laughed, "My credit score is pretty close to perfect, so I don't know where you got your information, sweet cheeks."

The frown on Penelope's face turned into a smile, "Good. You don't lie and you defend yourself. I like you."

"Did you really look up my credit score?"

"Among other things…" Garcia trailed off.

Running her fingers through her hair, JJ sighed again. Garcia got the message and changed the subject, "But...I'll leave those other things for a rainy day. So, Jay. Bossman and brunette."

Done with the pancakes, JJ tilted her head, resting it on her hand, "What about them?"

"They're both back! The paperwork they submitted is gone from the system and they've both been reinstated. Now all we have to worry about is Gideon."

Shaking her head, JJ filled Garcia in on the developments from that morning, "Gideon's gone. Reid went to his cabin last night and found a note."

A slight frown crossed her face, but Garcia quickly hid it, "Well, at least we have everyone back sans him. Guess we couldn't have wished for anything better than that." She perked up and then quickly rose from her chair, "Well, that's all I wanted to tell you. I'll let you two lovebirds get back to whatever it was that you were doing. I'll pick you up tomorrow. How about around one? Sound good?"

JJ nodded before getting up to hug her goodbye and follow her out the door. After locking the door behind Garcia, she turned around right into Will's waiting arms. JJ smiled before snuggling into them.

Will wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in close, "Those fuckin' pants, Jay."

She pressed a kiss to the pulse point in his neck, "Sorry." Suddenly, her back was against the wall and his lips were on hers.

"Never apologize."


They spent the day lounging around and planning out their date night. Will had to be in Baton Rouge that Friday at 5:00. Technically, nothing started until 7:00, which would probably be more around the time when JJ could arrive if she left right after work. Will decided to fly back on Thursday, but he still had a week left of vacation after that, so he could fly home with her that Saturday.

Will and JJ had worked out all of the kinks of their flights and such and were currently curled in bed watching a random procedural on TV. JJ was lying on Will's chest, tracing patterns on his bare abdomen.

"We ever gonna talk about what we discussed on the phone the other night?" Will pushed some hair out of her face.

JJ had almost forgotten about his talk of moving. She'd had to finish the case and then deal with the whole Reid and Gideon situation, so her mind had been other places.

Will took her silence as a no, "Well, I have been thinkin' about it. I'm movin' here and it would be pretty amazing if I could live with you, but if not, I'm up to apartment huntin'."

JJ tilted her head up so she could look at his face, "Will, your whole life is down there still! You can't ditch all of that for me. I won't let you."

"Why not? You're worth that to me. Even more than that. I would move to freakin' Brazil for you if I had to!"

"Why?" The one word burst out of JJ's mouth before she could stop herself. She couldn't wrap her mind around what it would take for one man to uproot his entire life for her.

"Why?" Will laughed. This was an easy one to answer, "Well, it all started a couple months ago when I met this girl at work who took my breath away. She walked up to me on a crime scene and I think my heart literally stopped. I knew right then and there that this girl was special and I wasn't about to let her jet off back to Quantico, Virginia and out of my life."

JJ sat up, interrupting him, "You know that's not what I meant."

Will copied her posture and went on talking, "Well me and this girl got pretty close. I've been around enough to know that she likes her pancakes best with chocolate chips on them with nothin' else, she's a better athlete than I am, and she ditches her coffee addiction for tea when she's really stressed. If she could live on Cheetos alone she would, when she's sad she reads her favorite book Pride & Prejudice, when she's mad she runs. She's scared of dogs and the woods and is a fantastic singer."

Will had enveloped the small frame of his girlfriend in his arms by this point. She was just looking down at her folded hands in her lap, waiting for his speech to be done. Her eyes were closed and she was trying not to show him how much this affected her. He paid more attention to her than she thought.

"This girl is 100% badass and is probably a better shot than I am, although we haven't tested that theory yet. She is extremely loyal to her friends and would do anythin' to protect them. Her job is stressful but she loves comforting families of victims and hates when the press gets in her way. I've seen her work a press conference without battin' an eyelash, but force her to parallel park and she's automatically nervous. Her favorite place is the beach and she would be perfectly content with lyin' on a hammock and tannin' all day."

JJ wrapped her hands around one of his, "You seem to know this girl pretty well, don't you?"

Will propped his chin up on her shoulder after brushing some of her hair back, "Yes ma'am. I also know that she doesn't think much of herself, even though she's pretty outstandin'. Somehow, she doesn't think that I would be willin' to relocate for her and I'm tryin' to make her see. I hope it's workin' but I'm not sure yet."

"I think it's working," JJ said in a small voice.

Pulling her back down to lay beside him, Will chuckled, "Good. I'm tired of tellin' her things that she should know already." He pressed a kiss to her cheek.

They were both silent for a while, the TV long forgotten. Will had started ghosting his fingers up and down her side, waiting for her to speak up.

JJ suddenly sat up, only to turn around and press her lips to Will's. She pulled back and Will saw tears in her eyes, "I'm not saying yes, yet."

He smiled. "I'll start lookin' for apartments, babe."

She shook her head, "I don't think I want you to do that."

Will frowned before looking back up at her tearful face. She was smiling.

He pulled her back down to his level and kissed her nose, "I'm glad to hear that."

JJ rested her arms on his bare chest, "Just promise me that you won't move until you're ready, ok? You need to have a job and your boss needs to be ok with it. Charlie too."

"Yeah? That's all that needs to happen? Well my boss will be ok with it about two seconds before I tell him and Charlie will be fine. Nothin' to worry about." Will laid his arms on hers, "This is what I want to do. Trust me."

She reached over him for the remote to turn off the TV before lying down next to him again. She whispered, "I do," before kissing him one more time.


Garcia had whisked JJ off at one, just like she had promised. Their trip was filled with gossip, mostly about JJ and Will, but a little about the team as well. They had visited almost every shop that Garcia knew about in the area before hitting the jackpot.

From the shriek emitted by Garcia, JJ knew she had found something good. Walking over to her enthusiastic friend, her eyes got wide.

"Jayje, isn't it perf?" Garcia was holding up a sleek navy blue dress. It had a slit in it and Garcia had found the perfect heels to go pair with the dress. "Go try it on!"

JJ came out of the dressing room and Penelope's jaw dropped. "You are one sexy lady, blondie!"

The smaller blonde blushed and swatted her friend. Almost everyone in the store had looked after Garcia's exclamation. Although after looking in the mirror for the first time, she had to agree. This dress was sexy.

Garcia laughed, "I saw those eyebrows shoot up! Will is going to fall over dead when he sees you in this! Turn around." She made JJ look at herself from all angles before letting her take it back off.


Will heard Garcia's car that she had dubbed Esther roll up the street. He had just gotten back himself but he wasn't about to let either of the two blondes know that. Meeting them at the door, he gave JJ a look when she came in empty handed.

"I'm keeping it until you leave! It's a surprise and I don't trust that girl with hiding it from you. Toodles!" Garcia yelled before backing out of the Jareau driveway and heading home.

JJ smiled as she wrapped her arms around her boyfriend, "It's a good surprise. Promise."

He kissed the top of her head and pulled her inside, "With you, it's always good."

Little did the girls know, while they had been shopping for dresses, William LaMontagne had been shopping for rings.
