Chapter 36

Emily was still grinning when she entered their bedroom, JJ was brushing her hair. The brunette heard a sniff.

"Jen?" Immediately worried she sat down next to her on the bed.

"I'm just being silly," said JJ, pausing in her brushing.

"Talk to me," said Emily, taking the brush then moved behind her lover and gently started brushing her golden locks.

"I've always wanted a family, " admitted JJ quietly, "I think that's why I kept looking at guys. I was hoping to meet someone who I wanted to raise a family with..." Her voice trailed off, then turned to look at her girlfriend, "I always wanted to be a mom."

Emily understood, carrying Sam and learning to love her precious passenger. It was an experience she couldn't explain to anyone who had never had a child, she hadn't realised how much it meant to her girlfriend.

"I'm sorry I can't..." JJ's finger on her lips interrupted her.

"No. YOU are the one I've been waiting for," said JJ, her blue eyes locked on Emily's dark brown ones. "And you brought Sam into my life. I have the family I wanted. I just wish I'd known her as a baby and been there to help you."

Emily cupped her lovers cheek and wiped away a tear with her thumb, JJ didn't know she was crying. "I would've loved that. Jen, there are are ways to have a child with a guy." Adoption was always an option but she knew JJ wanted to have the baby herself.

"You mean IVF?"

"Yes."

JJ studied the brunette she was deadly serious, "It's too soon to be talking like this, isn't it?"

"Why?" asked Emily, "I don't plan on going anywhere...Ever."

This was the first time JJ had ever let herself think of actually having a baby, "Let's move and settle in first," she said, "Then we'll talk?"

Emily nodded the suggestion was a sensible one.

"What will Sam think?"

"We'll have to ask her to find out," replied Emily, it was one subject that had never come up.

"Are you really okay with this?" asked JJ, needing to hear it again for it to sink in.

"I love you," said Emily softly, starting to slowly undress the blond, "Whatever you decide. I will support you, no matter what."

"I love you," said JJ, "Show me." Emily did just that by making love to her girlfriend so tenderly that nothing more needed to be said. JJ had never felt so loved before. By the time she fell asleep listening to the brunette's heartbeat she was cursing having to get up early in the morning.

However they had a case to solve and the faster they did the better for Sam.

Hotch called them to the Conference room as soon as they all arrived and they pooled their findings, their whiteboard was nearly full of pictures of former players. The only person missing was Garcia who had found something and wanted to double check it first.

Morgan had just suggested that Emily talk to Mike Hoover herself when the bubbly tech analyst entered with a determined look on her face.

"I might have found something only I'm not sure what," said Garcia , bringing up the football player's schedules. "When Morgan asked me to look into the players who have been warming the bench all season." She paused for dramatic effect, "According to him all the players are treated equally." Garcia pulled up ten names, "These are the worst and average players, their practice times all match." She pulled up the best players and put them side by side."

The whole team saw the difference at the same time.

"The better players have two extra practices," said Morgan, "If I know my Baby Girl, she has more."

"Oh, indeed I do. I checked the Coach's schedule and the schools. The times of those extra practices the Coach had already sighed out for the day, one is his afternoon off and the other is when time that the grounds staff are working on the field. " She pulled up the practice roster's from the other schools he had worked at. It was the same, some of the best players had extra practices. "So the players weren't on the school premises for these extra practices. I'm tracking the Coach's vehicle via traffic cameras and all his credit card purchases. So Crime Fighters as soon as I find something I will send it to you."

Hotch nodded then went on to their normal case load. Luckily they still didn't have any cases that would take them out of state. Having injured team members was turning out to be a blessing in disguise.

Emily noticed Rossi looking from her to JJ with a satisfied smirk on his face. Was it that obvious that they had slept together, in the biblical sense?

When they were dismissed the three woman stayed behind for a quick word.

"So," said Penelope, expectantly, "Did you two have fun?"

"Have you been talking to Rossi?" asked JJ.

"Well, my Chocolate Hunk guessed about you two so I told him," admitted Garcia, "He must have said something to Rossi because he came back and told me that he'd booked you into the Honeymoon suite. And I may have kept an eye out for you paying for a different room." Garcia suddenly pulled both woman into a hug, "Please tell me you put the room to it's proper use."

"We did," replied JJ. Her friend would find out anyway.

Garcia squealed with excitement as she released them. "I knew you two were falling for each other!"

Emily could feel herself blushing as she glanced at an amused looking JJ. The blond was more used the practically bouncing tech genius than she was.

"So the only one who doesn't know is Reid. Are you going to tell him?"

"He knows," said JJ, "Sam told him."

"WHAT!"

"Yep, over breakfast," added Emily.

"What did he say?"

"Nothing. He spat his toast all over the table however."

Penelope burst out laughing.

"And he hoped we were happy," finished JJ, grinning.

"I want details." said Garcia, "But later after we nail this guy to the wall." With that she hurried out.

"So everyone knows," said Emily quietly.

"Are you alright with that?" asked JJ, suddenly worried that the team knowing something that personal might be uncomfortable for her.

Emily hugged JJ, "I can't hide how I feel about you and I don't want to, besides..." she added with a wink, "When we are away and head back to the hotel they'll know why we don't want to hang around for drinks."

JJ grinned. That was an excellent point.

The brunette headed back to her desk and JJ to her office, they had calls to make to find out where the better players were going for the extra time they spent with the Coach.

Sam had permission to stay home so long as she checked in with her mom or JJ at lunch. She couldn't wait to tell Kendra about the new development when her friend brought her homework.

Mid-morning there was a knock on the door, she didn't open it she asked who it was through it.

The man asked if JJ was home. He sounded surprised to have someone other than JJ answer the door.

"No she's at work," replied Sam, thinking the guy sounded like Gambit from the X-Men cartoons. Who was this dude anyway?

The unknown man must have realised that he hadn't introduced himself.

"My name is Detective William LaMontagne Jr. I'm her boyfriend."

A/N Hi guys. Thank you as always for reading and following. The reviews are fantastic :) . I know some of you may think talking about kids may be very early in their relationship but they are only talking about it and I can't see JJ without Henry at some point and I don't like Will. Have fun and stay tuned. T-Rex :)
