So there should only be one more chapter with Emily being pregnant after this, and then it starts getting good:)
Thanks again to all my reviewers!
Chapter Thirty Eight
''I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it! I'm about to lose control and I think I like it! And I know I know I know I know I know I want you!''
''JJ shut the fuck up!'' Emily roared. They were on a case and as usual JJ insisted that she and Emily share a room so she could mind Emily. JJ was having a shower and was singing the same lines from that song over and over and over and over again. Emily was going insane.
''I can't hear you Emily! Shower! Oh I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it!'' JJ roared back. She mightn't be able to hear Emily but Emily could hear JJ. Emily groaned and placed the pillow over her head, hoping to drown out the sound of JJ singing. It didn't help that JJ was tonedeaf and it was like listening to cats screeching.
''I know I know I know I know I know I want you!''
''JJ seriously shut up! Morgan has banged on the wall twice because of your incessant singing! And I hate to say it JJ honey, but YOU CAN'T SING!'' Emily shouted, hoping JJ would shut up.
''I'M SO EXCITED!'' JJ started singing louder, probably just to annoy Emily. Emily groaned again and decided there was only one way to settle this. She marched into the bathroom and pulled the shower curtain open.
''AAHH! EMILY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?'' JJ screamed as she frantically covered herself up.
''SHUT UP! Seriously JJ just stop singing! You can't sing, it's one of the most annoying songs ever, I now have it stuck in my head thanks to you, there is no way I'll be able to sleep, Morgan is pissed at us because your singing is so loud and it's just annoying! Just stop!''
''I'm just singing to myself...''
''YOU'RE SINGING TO THE WHOLE DAMN FLOOR!''
''It's not that bad...''
''YES IT IS! NOW SHUT UP!''
''Fine! I'll be quiet! And can you go now, there's a draft coming in and I have to wash myself. Do you really want to see that Emily?'' JJ asked. Emily shuddered and left the bathroom.
She got settled back in her bed and closed her eyes, hoping she would finally get some sleep. The sound of the shower soothed her as her heavy eyelids pretty much closed themselves, and soon she was half asleep. She felt relaxed and peaceful, there was no noise to disturb her.
''It's Friday, Friday gotta get down on Friday...''
''JJ!''
''Wait, wait, wait. Magic doesn't happen instantly. You have to wait and savour it,'' Reid said quietly. He was demonstrating physics magic for JJ and Garcia again and had everything set up on his desk. They were waiting patiently as it started fizzing. Out of the corner of her eye JJ saw Emily coming into the bullpen and something sparked in her memory. The last time Reid did this Emily had got hit in the head. That couldn't happen again. Especially because of the baby.
She ran as fast as she could and dived in front of Emily, hoping to take the hit if the 'rocket' came her way, but she just ended up pushing Emily over. Both women crashed to the ground, JJ landing on top of Emily.
''Oh my god Emily I'm so sorry! Are you ok? What about the baby?'' JJ asked frantically as she got to her feet and helped Emily up. She held out her hand and Emily took it, and JJ helped her the rest of the way up.
''I'm fine JJ, seriously,'' Emily answered.
''No you're not! I pushed a pregnant woman over! I could have killed the baby! I could have kille you! Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, I'm so stupid!'' JJ cried, pacing around like a mad woman.
''Well I can't dispute that, you have been acting...odd recently. But I'm fine JJ seriously, I-ooh,'' Emily winced, clutching her stomach.
''Ooh? OOH? EMILY WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG?'' JJ screamed, as she turned around in shock. She was frozen to the spot and she went deathly pale.
''Nothing! Nothing, just indigestion,'' Emily lied. She bit her lip and turned away from JJ as she winced again.
''You bit your lip! You're lying! Em what's wrong? Is it the baby? Please Em tell me! We have to get you to the hospital!''
''JJ, JJ slow down. I'm fine, it's just-aahh...''
''Aahh? That's not good! Garcia call an ambulance! Say who you are so they'll come faster! Reid get the towels and pregnancy book from my office! Emily, sit down!'' JJ ordered.
''JJ no, Reid and Garcia stay where you are. It's nothing,'' Emily said as she sat down in a chair JJ pulled out for her.
''Nothing? You're going into labour! Don't listen to her Reid and Garcia, towels, call now!''
''No JJ, it's false contractions. Braxton Hicks. I'm not going into labour,'' Emily explained as she winced again.
''Braxton what? Emily you're going into labour!''
''At six months? JJ just sit down. I am fine.''
''No we still have to get you to the hospital, I could have damaged the baby , I could have hurt her, I could have hurt you, oh god oh god I'm panicking, this is not good, not good, I ruined everything, everything, oh fuck no, oh god-''
''JJ be quiet.''
''I ruined it. I ruined your life, I ruined James' life, the two of you will break up-''
''JJ you didn't ruin anything.''
''Oh crap I ruined everyone's life, I am worse than an UnSub, they might as well call me JJ The Killer, JJ The Insane-''
''JJ.''
''JJ The Baby Killer, JJ The Monster Of Quantico-''
''JJ SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU DIDN'T HARM THE BABY OR ME! WE ARE BOTH FINE! I AM HAVING BRAaaahhXTON HICKS! THEY'RE NORMAL! I'VE HAD THEM BEFORE!'' Emily shouted, finally getting JJ's attention.
''You WHAT? You've had them BEFORE? AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?''
''I don't have to tell you everything! And they've all happened at home!''
''So you've gone into labour before?''
''IT'S NOT LABOUR! IT'S BRAXTON HICKS CONTRACTIONS! DIDN'T YOU GET THEM?''
''NO I DID NO-oh wait I did. Sorry Em...''
''You so owe me.''
''I know, I know, what can I do Em? I'll do anything,'' JJ said, getting down on her knees. 'I'm sorry,'' she said, sticking out her bottom lip and doing her puppy dog eyes.
''Hmm...you could tell my mother about James and I,'' Emily replied, an evil grin spreading across her face. She would do anything to get out of telling her mother, especially as she was already six months pregnant.
''Your...your mother?'' JJ gulped. JJ was just as afraid of Ambassador Prentiss as Emily was, the difference was that Emily could stand up to her mother, JJ couldn't. Especially since the ambassador liked Jennifer, not JJ, Jennifer, and Emily needed to have her mother like one of her friends. Except after this Jennifer mightn't be that popular with the ambassador...
''Yep, my mother. You can tell her for me,'' Emily smirked.
''Emily I wasn't that bad...''
''JJ you pushed me, freaked out, thought I was going into labour, tried to-''
''Ok ok! Maybe I was bad, but seriously Em? Your mom? Can't I just clean your toilet or something?''
''Nope, you have to tell my mother.''
''Ugh! This is worse than torture!''
''And then when you're done telling my mom you can clean my toilet.''
JJ walked up the long driveway of the Prentiss estate and mentally prepared herself for the verbal onslaught that was about to commence. Emily's mother liked her, she knew that for a fact. She never criticised her like she criticised Emily, although JJ did think the ambassador looked down on her due to where she was from. But other than that she liked her, so this should be somewhat ok. Of course the ambassador would be mad, especially as Emily couldn't do her own dirty work, and who would she take it out on? JJ. Or as the ambassador called her, Jennifer.
''Ok deep breaths, deep breaths. This won't be that bad, all you have to do is tell her, and walk away. Don't stay any longer than you need to. In, out, in out. Damn that sounds sexual. Now I'll have dirty thoughts in my head talking to the ambassador. Great now I have dirty thoughts about the ambassador in my head. Stupid vivd imagination! If I mess this up it is your fault! I can't let Emily down, she'd kill me. Literally kill me. I've seen her reaching for the gun a few times...mental note, hide Emily's gun. God talking to the media isn't as difficult as this, there's just something about that woman that is...terrifying. Maybe it's the fact that she could have me dead before I leave the house. Or the fact that she looks like Strauss...damn! Now I have images of the ambassador and Strauss in my head! Stupid, stupid imagination!'' JJ thought as she hit her head in a vain attempt to somehow knock the images out.
''Is everything alright madam?''
''Huh?'' JJ asked as she looked up and saw that the Prentiss' butler was standing at the door looking at her as if she had two heads.
''Uh...yes. Everything is fine. I'm here to see the ambassador, my name is Jennifer Jareau. I'm a friend and colleague of her daughter Emily,'' she answered, brushing a strand of hair away from her face and using the same tone she used with the media.
''Of course. The ambassador is at a video conference at the moment should be free shortly. You can wait for her in the lounge if you wish.''
''Yea-I mean yes, I'll do that. Thank you.''
''Of course madam. This way.'' The butler took her across the impressive hall, into the more impressive lounge. The place was very tastefully decorated, and it all looked very expensive. It was immaculately clean, there wasn't a speck of dust to be seen. JJ sat herself down on on of the armchairs in the centre of the room. ''Tea madam?'' the butler offered.
''Uh...yes please,'' JJ smile and the butler disappeared to who knows where. JJ sank back into the armchair. It was one of those ones that was extremely soft, and almost sucked you into them. She tried for a long time to maneouvere herself back into an acceptable position, and didn't even notice the butler come back in.
''Are you alright madam?''
''Yes! Yes I'm fine! Just uh...stretching!'' JJ lied, and tried to stand up, but failed miserably.
''You're not the only one to get trapped by those chairs. It takes a lot of practice to sit on them properly,'' the butler smiled and he held out his hand and helped JJ up.
''Thanks, I'm not usually like this,'' JJ blushed, and took the tea the butler handed her.
''It's quite alright madam. The ambassador is finished her conference now, she should be along shortly.''
''Oh. Good.''
''She'll see you in here. And you might want to try the sofa. It's much more solid,'' the butler smiled and left the room. JJ rushed over to the couch and was relieved that she didn't sink into it. She crossed her legs and fixed her blouse, perfection was required when dealing with the ambassador.
''Ok JJ, it's not as scary as you think, she's just a person, a scary person...snap out of it brain! You're making things worse, just like the mental pictures before! Oh great they're back...and why do they have to be so vivid? I have no idea what the ambassador looks like naked, yet I can see it perfectly in my head! Strauss too! Ugh this is revolting! Just get the image out of your head JJ, think of nice things, think of other people naked. Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Will, Emily...Emily? Brain what the hell? Stop picturing your best friend naked!''
''Jennifer? Are you alright?''
''Hmm? Oh Ambassador Prentiss! It's good to see you!'' JJ smiled as she stood up and shook the ambassador's hand.
''Yes, good to see you too...are you sure you're ok? You were saying something about imagining people naked?'' the ambassador asked, a very confused look on her face.
''What...oh I was just preparing for a press conference I have later. I was just saying to myself that it helps if you imagine the audience naked. I don't know how many conferences I've done but it never gets easier! Ha ha ha ha...,'' JJ laughed, feeling like a complete fool.
''Yes...do what do you want to speak to me about? Is it about Emily?'' the ambassador asked as she sat down next to JJ.
''It is actually.''
''Is she alright? Was she hurt on a case?''
''Oh no, no, nothing like that. She's good, very good actually. She's...she's pregnant,'' JJ said quickly, closing her eyes and waiting for the verbal bashing she was about to get. But it didn't come.
JJ opened her eyes and found that the ambassador was speechless, for once. All the times she had met the ambassador before she had been very chatty. But this time was different. She had gone pale and looked like she was in shock. ''Um Ambassador Prentiss? Are you ok?'' JJ asked but the ambassador didn't answer her. ''Ambassador? Are you alright?''
The next thing JJ knew the ambassador was on the floor. JJ stared at her for a moment as she was unsure of what to do. ''Oh shit! I better do something!''
She knelt down on the ground and gently shook the ambassador. ''Ambassador, Ambassador Prentiss, are you ok?''
''Hmm...oh Jennifer it's you. Why am I on the floor?'' the ambassador asked.
''I just told you that Emily was pregnant.''
''Oh...yes I remember now. Dear god...''
''Ambassador would you like me to tell you more?''
''Oh yes please Jennifer, let's just get off the floor first, it's filthy,'' the ambassador remarked as JJ helped her back up on to the couch. JJ stole a quick glance at the floor and it was absolutely spotless. She didn't know what the ambassador was talking about.
''So, she's pregnant? How long?''
''Six months...''
''Six months? Oh god...,'' the ambassador muttered, going pale again. JJ caught her just in time.
''Oh thank you Jennifer. Six months really? And why didn't she tell me?''
''She forgot to...''
''Forgot to? I'm her mother, how could she forget?''
''Well for the first month of her pregnancy she wasn't talking to me so I couldn't remind her, second month we were kidnapped-''
''Kidnapped?''
''Yes some UnSub kidnapped us and kept us captive for a while. The baby survived, I took all the beatings for Emily.''
''Be...beatings?''
''Yeah beatings. I'm fine now though.''
''Oh. Good...''
''But then of course I had to get her back together with the father of the baby, as they had broken up.''
''Oh dear god...''
''So they got back together anyway and they're very happy together,'' JJ smiled, getting ready to run if she needed to.
''Oh, I just need a minute to...to...''
''I understand. This must be a lot for you to take in.''
After a few moments the ambassador spoke again. ''Who is the father of the child?''
''My brother...,'' JJ answered as she bit her lip and started fidgeting.
''Your brother...why didn't Emily tell me herself?''
''I owed her a favour.''
''I see...''
''Ever since we got away from our captor I've been very protective of Emily and the baby, seeing as it was my fault that her and my brother broke up in the first place. I knew Emily had a boyfriend, and I had no idea it was my brother, and when I found out I was horrified since I knew everything about their relationship and even heard them having sex on the...phone...,'' JJ said, stopping as she saw the look on the ambassador's face. JJ had a habit of saying too much when she was nervous. And she was very nervous now.
''You...you what?''
''Uh...nevermind. Anyway I made them break up, but after I found out she was pregnant with my niece, it's a girl she's having, I decided they should be together again and they got back together. But since I'm so protective and everything Emily's been getting annoyed at me so I said I would tell you to make it up to her.''
''I don't know what to say...''
''That's my fault. I have a habit of talking too much and saying the wrong things when I'm nervous. Everyone at work now thinks Emily and I are having a lesbian affair because I keep saying the wrong things...''
The ambassador turned and stared at her. ''I mean...um...''
''Jennifer, can you explain all that to me again?''
''How did it go?'' Emily asked as JJ walked into James' house where Emily was staying.
''Not good. Not good at all. She hates me, thinks you're a tramp and that you and I are having a lesbian affair,'' JJ answered as she threw herself down on the couch next to Emily.
''What did you say?''
''Too much.''
Ok I know it was a bit short, but the next chapter will hopefully be longer. And I know that most of it is random too, but I like random.
