A/N: Short, but sweet

"There's my world champion!"

The words were like music to her ears as she dropped her bags and walked straight into Will's arms, her smile wider than ever as he hugged her tightly.

"I missed you... you were amazing in Belgium," he said softly. "I'm so proud of you"

JJ was still beaming as she pulled out of the hug, leaning in for a quick kiss. Behind her, Nick cleared his throat, grinning as JJ turned around with a slight blush in her cheeks.

"I'll be heading off now. You're back next...?"

"Wednesday," JJ said with a smile.

"I still think you should have taken a longer break, but if you want to keep going, that's up to you," Nick replied, stepping forward and giving JJ a quick hug. "You did great in Belgium, kid, I'm proud of you"

"Thanks," JJ responded, giving her coach a happy smile and a wave as he hoisted up his bags and headed towards the exit of the terminal.

Turning back to Will, she smiled seductively. "My parents' flight got delayed... they won't be home until early tomorrow morning. Which means..."

Will's lips quirked into an excited smile. "I've got you all to myself"

They had made love for what felt like hours upon arriving back to JJ's house, the passion rising between them at having been apart for so long. After that, they had slipped in and out of a restful sleep, talking, laughing and loving as they lay cuddled up in each other's arms.

Evening fell, and their stomachs were growling, so while Will sought about making them something to eat, JJ had decided to touch base with Aly again. She didn't expect Aly to pick up on the first ring.

"AYYY IT'S MY BEST FRIEND. THE TWO TIME WOOOOOORLD CHAMPION!"

Both JJ and Will burst out laughing at Aly's dramatic answering the phone.

"It's actually three time world champion, if you remember correctly," JJ grinned.

"Oh crap, yeah, team title. Oh well. Two time world beam champion! Wooo! I'm so proud of you, I knew you could restake your claim!"

JJ laughed. "Thanks Aly"

"You four were incredible! Four of five gold medals between the four of you, and oh, my, god, Simone was-"

"AMAZING?" JJ cried, as they both laughed. "She was so consistent! And so clean, I couldn't believe it. She's amazing!"

"Tell me about it! And Kyla, oh my sweet Kyla getting all those medals. I hope she gets an individual gold next year"

"I'm sure she will. On bars most likely," JJ replied.

"Yeah. So is loverboy with you?"

"Yes he is, and you're on speaker," JJ giggled as Will turned and flexed his biceps. "He's just showing off for me now"

"Probably because it gets you going"

"Aly!" JJ exclaimed, her cheeks turning red as Will laughed. "I never said... that's not what I said... Alexandra Raisman!"

Aly could only laugh as Will walked over to JJ, leaning over the counter so he was quite close to her.

"Gets you going huh?"

"That's not what I said," JJ said, a shy giggle escaping her lips as Will leaned in further and kissed her deeply.

A few moments silence passed before Aly broke the loved up bubble.

"If you two are going to do it, please kindly hang up on me first"

"It's fine Aly," JJ laughed as she and Will broke apart.

"Changing the subject, I hear you're going back to the gym really soon. Aren't you taking a break?"

"I'm doing basically half the intensity of training I'd be doing normally, and Nick also wants me to take a week or two off in the New Year, and I'll start going full out after then. It'll all work out"

"Well, I look forward to seeing what you come out with at the Classic next year. And guess what?"

"What?"

"Someone else is going back to the gym next year"

"YOU?!" JJ shrieked.

"Yes!"

JJ's smile could've lit up a city in a power outage. "That's the best news ever! I'm so excited for you!"

"Thanks JJ. I've missed it. I've missed you girls, competing with you all... I miss seeing my best friend every month. I can't wait to see what my future in gym holds"

"Me too Aly. Me too"
