JJ and Prentiss decided to go for a small walk before getting dinner. JJ had pulled up to the park and the two were walking around the small lake, hand in hand. "I always imagined getting to do this with you. Going for nightly walks when we weren't on cases, holding your hand" she paused and leaned up, kissing Prentiss's cheek "kissing your cheek" she admitted.

Prentiss smiled and stopped walking, tugging JJ's arm and pulling her into a hug. The two held onto each other as they looked out at the moonlight lake. "I always imagined this, but never thought it would actually happen. Once you were married, I lost all hope of ever having a chance with you."

JJ pulled her head back to look at Prentiss, still holding onto her "is that why you left after the wedding?"

Prentiss raised her eyebrow slightly "I left for the job as chief in the London Interpol office" she said quietly. JJ smiled before resting her head in the crook of Prentiss's neck. Prentiss sighed slightly "truthfully I may have not taken that job if you weren't married. I mean it was a good opportunity, but I think it would have pained me too much if I had stayed. That sounds selfish because you were happy, and I was happy for you, but I was also broken."

"I'm sorry Em" JJ said quietly as she looked back up at Prentiss. "I'm sorry you had to go through the pain of watching me with someone else, I didn't want to hurt you."

Prentiss smiled slightly "you didn't hurt me, the situation did. But I never told you how I felt so that is no one's fault but my own" she said as she leaned forward and placed a soft kiss to JJ's forehead,

JJ smiled as she pulled away from Prentiss, holding her hand once again as they continued their walk, heading back to the car. "I sometimes wish you had told me, and also that I had the courage to tell you when I had feelings for you. But I believe the universe brought us together at the perfect time"

"I agree" Prentiss said, as her stomach began to rumble.

JJ laughed a little as she unlocked the car "I'll go across the road and get us some dinner" she said as she left and Prentiss stayed in the car. When JJ got the food, she headed back to the car, hopping in the driver's side and handing Prentiss the food, noticing the expression on her face. "We have a case, don't we?" JJ asked.

"How did you know?"

"You had your case face" JJ replied.

Prentiss laughed a little "I have a case face?"

JJ nodded "you defiantly do. Good thing I got takeaway, at least we can eat it on the flight" she said, driving them to the BAU.

When they arrived, Prentiss headed to her office to get a few things while JJ headed to the round table, sitting next to Reid.

"What's in the bag?" he asked as he peeled his eyes from his book.

"Mine and Em's dinner" she said.

He smiled slightly "ooooh dinner" he said with a wink.

She gently smacked his arm as she laughed a little "too bad the case interfered."

"Have you told her how you feel?" he asked curiously.

"I did."

"How did it go?"

"We kissed" she said quietly.

Reid's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open "it's about time."

"Shut up" she said, laughing again.

Before Reid could say anything else the rest of the team gathered around the table before Prentiss walked in, handing them all their files. "In the past two weeks, two teenage girls have been found washed up on a beach."

Everyone opened the case files and quickly skimmed over "both girls drowned, but not in the beach" Alvez said.

"It appears they drowned in rain water, markings on the back of their necks indicated they were held under water. Both girls attended University of Southern California. Another girl, Jenny Geristen has been reported missing so wheels up in ten" Prentiss said as she closed her file and went to collect her bag. The rest of the team went to get their bags and all of them headed to the jet.

Prentiss and JJ sat next to each other on the jet so they could share the food JJ ordered. Whilst JJ was unpacking it, Prentiss was telling everyone what they would do when they arrived. "JJ and Reid, you go to our first victims room Rose Koontz, see if you can find anything there then go to the second victims room Tess Tomlin. Alvez and Lewis, you go to Jenny's room and talk to her roommate. Simmons and Rossi, you two go to the locations where the bodies were found, and I'll head to the station. Get some rest whilst you can" she said as everyone went about doing their own thing.

JJ handed Prentiss some cutlery and a napkin "I wasn't sure what you felt like so I ordered a few things we like and thought we could share, unless there is something you want for yourself" JJ said softly.

Prentiss smiled as she took the cutlery from JJ "sharing's good, then we can try a bit of everything" she said, smiling before she began eating.

Once they had finished eating JJ pulled out her laptop and went to her movie selection "want to watch Last Christmas?"

Prentiss raised an eyebrow as she looked at JJ "no, I do not want to watch last Christmas and also, I'm banning you from that movie."

JJ pouted "you can't ban me, it's my favourite movie."

"That movie leaves you a sobbing mess every time" Prentiss said, smiling slightly as she shook her head. "fine, not banned but maybe that's a once a month movie" she said, taking the laptop from JJ to look through her movies. Knowing that JJ was still in a semi Christmas movie watching mood Prentiss settled on Holidate.

JJ smiled and tucked her legs up under her, resting her head on Prentiss's shoulder as she focused her attention on the movie, ignoring the smirking look Reid was giving her.
