Authors Note: Sorry guys, my internet was off for a while, so I know it's been a while since my last update but I have been continuing to write so the updates will be quicker now for a while. (This will be after they get home from the last case)

Chapter 14

It was one of the quickest cases that they had done in a long time, two days is all it took. They were so happy to be on their way home, they knew that Annabelle was being taken care of, but they wanted to spend some more time getting the new house ready, and spend some more time with the parents.

It was like 2 am when they finally got home, they didn't want to wake anyone, but they wanted everyone to know that they were home so they left their carry bags by the front door and decided to just all it a night and go to bed. It wasn't even 9 am when Annabelle came and jumped on the bed.

"Get up, get up, get up... yay your home" Annabelle jumped up and down on the bed.

The two women opened their eyes and realized that today was going to be a long day. They got up and went down stairs for their morning coffee. JJ's parents were already awake. JJ knew that she had to go into the office to finish up the paperwork, which was good for Emily because she wanted to talk to JJ's parents anyway.

So as JJ went to take a shower and get ready for the day, Emily took the time to calm her nerves and make sure that Mary and John were going be around today. When they both said that they were going to stick around and help pack she was thrilled, hopefully they would have enough time to get some stuff moved and have the conversation that she wanted to have.

JJ came downstairs, told everyone good-bye gave Emily and Annabelle a kiss and out the door she went.

Emily helped clean up the breakfast, and after Annabelle went off to school, she asked Mary and John if she could talk to them for a minute.

"Of course, what's on your mind Emily" Mary wondered if she needed to be concerned.

"I just want to ask you a few questions, nothing to worry about, I don't think, but I was just wondering how you would feel if I surprised JJ and asked her to Marry me on her birthday" Emily stated

"get married, are you sure, I mean I love the idea, but just make sure that's what you want" John asked.

"I am sure. I love your daughter and we have already been together for four years, I want to marry her, I want to spend the rest of my life with her" Emily said wholeheartedly.

The two parents gave their blessing and Emily was excited, she knew that the team would be ok with it, but she didn't know how the big boss's would deal, but whatever the situation they would indeed have to deal. Emily's only fear was that once the big boss's found out that they would choose to separate them, and it's almost as if they knew what she was thinking, because then the phone rang.

"oh my god Emily, you will never believe what happened? They promoted me, they want me to go work for the pentagon, I don't want to go, I belong here, I deserve to be here, they said that I don't have a choice. I mean it is a big opportunity but still I don't want it" JJ rambled

Emily felt as if she has just jinxed things, and wondered where all this was coming from, had they found out about them and just didn't want to make a scene, she didn't Know the answer to any of her questions but she was sure as hell gonna find out. Everything was just getting to be perfect they weren't going to screw it up now.

"I promise you JJ if you don't want to go then we will find a way that you won't have to" Emily said as she grabbed her coat. This was going to be resolved and it was going to resolved now, nothing was going to get in the way of making this JJ's best birthday.

Emily informed JJ's parents that she had to run to the BAU, and that it wasn't a case so she should be back soon. As soon as she got to the BAU the rest of the team watched as she walked into the office and walked directly into Hotch's office.

"are you serious Hotch, your really going to just let them take her, come on after everything that we have been through as team. After everything JJ and I have done to follow your rules" Emily screeched.

"Emily, I am trying everything that I can to keep her here, you know this, you know that this was always a possibility, I don't know where this is coming from. Did you ever think that this is just a big opportunity for her?"

"of course I did, and if she wanted the job I would support her 100%, but she doesn't Hotch, and they can't force her to go… Can they?"

The team could see the hostility forming in Hotch's office whatever Emily was pissed, but they knew that with that level of anger, they were bound to hear about it soon.

"hey guys what are you looking at" JJ asked as she walked into the room

All it took was them pointing to Hotch's office and JJ was up the stairs and in there as well.

It wasn't long until Garcia strolled in,

"hey how are my boys" she asked

Again they just pointed.

" I wonder what has Prentiss so pissed she looks like she could kill if given the chance" Derek said as he just kept watching.

"it's probably the whole Pentagon thing" Garcia said casually. It didn't take long for her to realize that Derek or Reid knew nothing about JJ's promotion.

So she filled them in as they all continued to watch the fight that was unfolding in Hotchs office.

Will Emily be able to convince Hotch to make sure JJ gets to stay, Will she get to give JJ the perfect birthday?
