JJ arrived back at Little Creek. She hadn't drank a lot, she was driving, but she'd had a lot of fun with the girls. Now, it came time to warn Dave that she'd told Garcia and Emily they were involved. Not only involved, but having sex, terrific sex. Dave would be shocked that JJ had finally admitted to someone that they were involved. Since neither woman had been shocked that she was in a relationship with him, she took it as a good sign. They were tickled pink that JJ was happy, really happy. It had taken her a year to admit to being in a relationship with Will, and even then, was reluctant to discuss anything, even her pregnancy. A month into a relationship with Rossi, not only had she confirmed it, but had been very happy doing so.
Walking into the cabin, the lights were low, no sign of Dave or Henry. She took off her jacket, walked up the stairs, entering the bedroom. On the bed lay her missing men, sleeping. Henry was curled up on Rossi's chest, Dave's arm surrounding him so he didn't fall. She covered both with a blanket, and stepped into the bathroom to shower and ready for bed. Coming back out, she scooped up her son and took him to the crib that Dave and her had bought and installed at the cabin. Slowly, JJ had been moving in with him out at Little Creek, not using her apartment as anything more than a crash pad. Henry remained asleep, and she came back in and snuggled with Dave. He began to stir, wrapping his arm around her. He pulled her closer, drawing her in for a kiss.
"Missed you, babe. Henry was a real sweetheart all night. The two of us had a great time." he chuckled.
"Missed you, too, sweetie. I have something to tell you, though."
"And that would be?"
"I told Garcia and Prentiss that we are in a relationship. Oh, and that you are the best I've ever had." She laughed at the look he gave her. "What? You are! I swear! And I told them they were out of luck, you were all mine, and they'd never get their chance at you now."
All Rossi could do was laugh. "What happened to keeping it secret? And you actually admitted we were having sex. Amazing."
"Well, the sex is amazing, I told them that!"
He pulled her in for a kiss again, relieved that JJ was finally opening up, not wanting to hide things anymore. One thing led to another, and he proved once again why JJ was so satisfied with him. Afterwards, they snuggled together, when Dave surprised her once again.
"JJ, Henry and I went shopping tonight. We got you a little something."
"Ooh, I love surprises, Dave. What did you two pick out for me?" JJ's blue eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Close your eyes, sweetie." Rossi asked her.
JJ closed her eyes, excited that Dave had something for her. "Open your eyes." she heard him say after a minute.
Opening her eyes, Dave was down on one knee, holding a beautiful diamond ring in his hand.
"JJ, I know you've already agreed to marry me, but I didn't ask you properly, I had no ring. Your son has very good taste, he helped me pick this little beauty out. Anyway, Jennifer Jareau, will you do the honor of marrying me?" he offered her the ring then, holding it out to her. "I love you, JJ, I can't imagine my life without you. I want Henry to be my son, I want you to have my children, I just want you. I know you've already said yes, but please, will you marry me?"
JJ teared up. The man had asked her to marry him twice, taken her son ring shopping with him, proposed naked for god's sake. She loved everything about him, he made her happy, she did not want to be anywhere else or be with anyone else.
"Dave, I'm not going anywhere. Of course I will marry you, you know I will. I love you, more than I could have ever thought possible. The ring is beautiful, you are beautiful. Yes, yes, yes."
He slipped the ring on her finger then, it really was gorgeous. She admired it and then pulled him into a deep kiss, pulling him down on her once again. Given a repeat performance, they celebrated their re-engagement.
"I'm not taking the ring off, Dave. I'm proud of it. I'm not hiding anymore. They can think what they want. I'm yours, and I don't care who knows it." JJ told him.
"Why the change of heart, JJ? You were desperate to keep it quiet before."
"Because I've never been more sure of how I feel, how you feel. I've never felt like this before. Besides, I don't want to hide anymore. I don't care if everyone knows. Too bad for them if they didn't take their shot with you." she joked.
He laughed at that, he'd never met a woman like her before. Sweet, beautiful, smart, she was everything he'd ever wanted, everything he'd ever need again. God knows what everyone would think, him trying marriage for the fourth time. It may have been the fourth time, but it was definetely the last. He'd protect her, look after her, do anything to make sure she was happy.
"Well, everyone has missed their shot with me, and you're out of the field now too, hon. I'd like to see anyone try and hit on you again. I will not be a happy man." he joked back.
"You have nothing to worry about in that department. I could never be happy with anyone but you."
With that, she kissed him again. "Oh, Garcia helped me to find some nice houses to look at. We narrowed it down to three choices, based on your preferences. Do you want me to call the Realtor tomorrow? Set up some appointments?"
"Sure, it would make things a little easier. I hate to not be at Little Creek, but this gives us a place to crash on those late nights. Plus, I really don't want to go to your apartment anymore."
"I know Dave, I know. I had told Garcia before you got shot I wanted to move, but things got put on hold. Somebody had to take care of you. I actually think it made me fall in love with you more. You are such a good patient."
"Well, I love my naughty nurse. She really helped me recover." Rossi feathered her with more kisses.
"Wow, you are really ready to go tonight. Did you miss me that much while I was gone tonight? I should spend more time away from you!" JJ giggled.
He growled at her, "No, I want you by my side. I did miss you, I just can't get enough of you. It's never going to get old."
"Well, you have nothing to worry about. I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere." And with that, they celebrated their engagement once again.
