First Day

Emily woke with a start, there was slight light coming in through her bedroom window, and immediately thinking she was late for her first day of school she jumped out of bed and ran to get dressed. She threw on a red shirt and her favorite jeans and then ran back to the bedside table to grab her phone. The phone that said it was only seven and that she wasn't late. Taking a deep breath Emily was relieved that she was not late for her first day of school and that she still had a good fifteen minutes before she even need to leave her house. She wanted to get a small breakfast for the day but not knowing if her nerves would be able to take it she just ate a handful of grapes and grabbed a water for the trip to school. Emily was not one who wanted to be extremely early but not knowing how the morning traffic would be she decided that she would grab her backpack and get moving, locking the door and setting the alarm on her way out.

It was a relatively easy drive to the school with the normal morning commute traffic and it only took her ten minutes longer than what she was anticipating putting her at school right 7:45. She took a parking spot towards the back of the parking lot not wanting to get into an argument about a parking spot on the first day. The walk in was full of stares and whispers but she was already prepared for that, she just kept walking to the main office.

Once inside the main doors she told the receptionist why she was there and the lady, Mrs. Schum, asked her to take a seat and the principle would be right out. Emily sat waiting for no longer than two minutes before Mrs. Fawks called her into her office. What Emily was not expecting was gorgeous looking shy blonde sitting waiting for her with her head down and her hands under her legs. Emily had to take a second to compose herself and not act weird. This blonde was obviously going to be here tour guide today and from what Mrs Fawks told her yesterday she would also be in quite a few of her classes. Emily took a seat next to the blonde as Mrs Fawks began talking.

"So good to see you again Miss Prentiss, this is Jennifer Jareau, she has all the same classes as you except for automotive but I have excused her from the first few minutes of her class to show you where that is. Jennifer this is Emily Prentiss."

"Actually it's just JJ but if you don't want to be late to Calculus then we should probably get going because it is on the other side of campus." JJ said as she slowly lifted her head to take in the new comer. Turning to see Emily, caught her off guard she wasn't expecting her to be so, so, well pretty. She immediately looked back down at her now fumbling hands.

"Right, well, I am ready whenever you are JJ. Show me the way." Emily replied noticing the look she was given and how JJ turned away, she thought with a smirk 'this could be an interesting day' as she rose from her seat to follow JJ out of the main hall and to the right, going through several halls JJ explained where each of her classes was as they continued to walk. Emily was taking it all in. Including the way JJ wouldn't look at her and talked to the ground more so than her. Emily was getting ready to ask JJ what class she took instead of automotive but they reached their class and JJ went to her seat by the window on the far end of the class room and began staring out the window. Emily taking the hint that she needed to introduce herself to the teacher and ask where she should sit. Emily walked up to the tall guy at the front sitting behind the desk.

"Hello, I am Emily Prentiss, this is my first day here and I was wondering if you have assigned seats or if I am allowed to sit anywhere."

"No assigned seats, sit wherever you please as long as you will pay attention. Here is a book and we are on chapter four right now, you can get notes from yesterday from whoever you sit by. Oh and my name is Mr. Logan Ziegler, but most of the students just call me Zeigler." the long haired teacher said, Emily couldn't help but think he looked like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. Emily took the book and looked around more students had filed in since it was almost time to begin but there were a few open seats right next to JJ. Deciding that was probably the safest option Emily too the seat to the left of JJ. JJ didn't even seem to notice so Emily asked for the notes.

"Hey JJ, Mr Ziegler said that i needed to get the notes from someone and seeing as i know you i was hoping i could get them from you, if you don't mind." JJ still didn't acknowledge that Emily had sat down next to her even was talking to her. Emily decided to reach over and tap JJ on the shoulder. JJ immediately looked over.

"What I am sorry I zoned out." JJ said quickly.

"You are fine, no worries. I asked if I could get the notes from yesterday from you, Ziegler said that I could." Emily stated, watching as JJ once again wouldn't look at her but rather stared intently at the desk. JJ started to fumble through a notebook and passed it to Emily.

"Here are the notes from yesterday but it will take forever to write down he took the entire 40 minutes on notes yesterday."

"Well actually I was thinking that since I am in most of your classes that maybe if you didn't have any plans tonight that we could stay after school and I could copy them then, or I could come to your hou.."

Emily was then cut off by a hard "NO not my house. Uhm my parents will be home and they don't like when people come over but uhm if you don't mind i could come over to your house if your parents don't mind its just I would have to get a ride back to mine." JJ quickly tried to cover for herself.

"My parents won't mind and I can take you home, it wouldn't be a problem after all you are helping me." Emily didn't understand why JJ was so aggressive with turning her house down but she didn't think going to her house would be a problem.

"Okay, well class is about to begin so we better listen." JJ was not used to this she wasn't feeling well today and she really didn't want to let anyone know about it. Before she knew it first period was over and they were on to AP english. She told Emily a little about Mrs. Hopf. That she was her favorite teacher and she would help you with anything, they sat at the front of the class together and they had a tiny quiz just to see where everyone was but some kids took the whole class because they didn't want to do anything else. Then they were onto Photography which was down the hall by automotive and some other classes, photography was spent outside taking pictures and enjoying the nice weather. This gave Emily time to break JJ out of this shy shell that wasn't as bad as when the day first started but she could tell that JJ was still holding back, so they did a little bout of fifty question all on safe topics like favorite colors, foods, classes, teachers, music and just some more easy things like that.

Emily was starting to get nervous so far she hadn't had a class where JJ was not, and the next class was automotive and she knew JJ didn't have that but she wasn't sure if any other girls would even be in the class, she didn't mind being with all boys but she didn't want to be treated different just because she was a girl. So as photography was coming to a close she was getting fidgety. JJ noticed right away that something about Emily wasn't how she had been acting all day, so in between class as she was walking Emily to automotive She asked her about it.

"Emily is something wrong?" JJ asked tentatively looking at Emily for what seemed like the first day.

"Yeah, I am just nervous about the next class is all. You won't be in there and I don't know if any other girls will be in there. I don't know it is stupid but I am just nervous."

"Hey no reason to be nervous I am right down the hall and if you don't like it you can always switch out to a different class!" JJ decided she didn't like when Emily wasn't being the Emily she has seen all day, she has had a confident way about her all day and JJ was really beginning to like this girl. She could see them being really good friends. As they came to Emily's automotive class they said goodbye and JJ made her way to child development before the bell even rang.

Emily really had no reason to worry as soon as she walked into class she was met with five other students all of which were boys but they didn't seem shocked to see her. What she hadn't noticed was that the teacher Mrs Riley Tretter, was in fact a twenty something year old female who instantly smiled at her and approached her.

"Hello you must be Emily, my name is Riley Tretter, I'm the teacher but everyone just calls me Riley. Let me just tell you I am glad to see you, I was hoping to have a girl in my class this year to show up these boys." Riley was definitely going to be her favorite teacher and her nerves had dissipated immediately. After the introductions to Jake, Miles, Matt, Dominic and Brian were made they jumped straight into it with their own vehicles, Emily having to go get her truck not knowing they worked on their own cars, made quick work getting to her truck and baack to the open shop doors, as she pulled in she saw all the guys turn and watch as their jaws dropped, Riley's face just had a grin on it as she yelled a 'back to work boys, girls have toys too!'

After about fifteen minutes, Emily really had to pee she hadn't gone all day and rank two waters so she quickly excused herself with Riley's permission to find the quickest bathroom, but what she wasn't expecting was to find a blonde hunched over one of the commodes empting what she thought was all of her stomach and what sounded like some intestines too. Emily quickly realized that she knew this blonde, it was JJ! Immediately stepping into gear and getting concerned she made her presence known.

"JJ it's me Emily I'm just going to get a paper towel and wet it to put it on your neck and I am going to hold your hair." Before JJ could even protest she felt her hair being pulled into a bun and a cool sensation on her neck as there was soft strokes up and down her back, after throwing up a few more times, JJ sat back on her heel and leant softly against the brunettes legs. "Are you okay? Did you eat something bad?" Emily asked concerned for the blonde leant against her. Emily slid down the stall wall and pulled JJ against her side, not having the energy to fight it JJ just let Emily pull her in.

"No I didn't eat anything bad. But I think I need to leave school. If I go home my parents will kill me for leaving." JJ said worried.

"What is wrong then? Are you getting the stomach bug? Why would your parents kill you for being sick?"

"I don't know.. I don't think I have the bug but I can't go home." Emily was listening as JJ spoke and she could hear the fear in the voice coming from the blonde.

"Okay let's go to the office, we will get them to let you leave and I will go pick up the rest of our homework and then I will take you to my house till later when I was going to take you home anyways. Sound like a plan?" Emily asked trying to think of the possibilities on why JJ is throwing up and doesn't want to go home.

"No, you can't miss your first day of school for me."

"Well sorry hunny but I am. Let's get you to the office and released to go home I'm sure I can talk Mrs Fawks into letting us leave as long as we get any work we missed done." Emily smiled as she helped JJ up and they walked to the main office just around the corner. Walking into the office Emily had JJ sit on one of the waiting chairs as she knocked on the door frame of the principles office.

"Hey Emily, whats up is something wrong?"

"Actually yeah, JJ is throwing up and she really needs to go home but her parents are not going to be able to come get her. I was wondering if I could take her home, I could get all of our homework and anything we need before we come back tomorrow, I promise we will get it done. I just think it would be easier if she had a more accessible bathroom and wasn't interrupting class to leave every twenty minutes. Please, she looks horrible." Emily explained as she watched Mrs Fawks gaze out the window to see JJ hunched over taking deep breaths.

"Okay I'll excuse you both but you both need to get all your homework done and be back here tomorrow morning. I hope she feels better." Tina reluctantly gave in. Emily immediately thanked her and went straight to JJ.

"Hey we got the okay to leave im just going to take you to the vehicle and then go get our work and then we can stop at cvs and get you some medicine." Emily said as she was taking JJ into her automotive class. Riley gave her an odd look and Emily held up a finger saying she would be over in a second to explain. She easily helped JJ into the vehicle, and then walked over to Riley.

"Sorry, I have to take JJ home she is really sick but if you give me the rest of the assignment I can get it done at home. I'm going to go get the other homework that we are going to have. I will be right back." with that Emily disappeared right back into the hall way basically running to all of their classes getting the homework. Thankfully Mrs. Fawks had called the teachers to let them know she was coming. Before she knew it she was back in front of Riley with a handful of books, and JJ's bag from her family sciences class.

Riley seeing all the other work the girls were going to be doing tonight told Emily not to worry about it. "Hey you've got plenty on your plate, just take care of her."

"Thank you so much and I will!" Emily said as she was already rushing to the truck, she threw the books in the back seat then got in the driver seat she saw JJ was sleeping or looked like she was as she backed up and headed toward her house there was a cvs on the way.

About ten minutes into the drive JJ spoke up apparently she was not sleeping. "Don't stop at cvs."

"What? Why? JJ you're sick you need something." Emily was confused.

"Cause it won't help." JJ stated picking her nails.

"Of course it will help that's what it is supposed to do JJ."

JJ turned to look at Emily, "no, Emily, it will not help with this, I promise you."

"What do you mean JJ?" Emily was so confused but she listened and passed cvs and was now less than five minutes to her house.

"You're not going to want to be my friend if I tell you, and Emily I really want you to be my friend."

"Whatever it is it can't be that bad. If you want to though you can wait till we get to the house then you can tell me. But whatever it is it won't stop me from being your friend." Emily said as she was getting ready to make the last turn into her driveway.

"This is your house?" JJ asked as she seen where they were pulling into.

"Yeah I had the same reaction. Wait till you see the inside." Emily smiled as she pulled the truck into the garage next to the Jeep that JJ couldn't take her eyes off. "What?" Emily asked as JJ looked from her to the jeep and then back to her again.

"You have my dream car sitting in your garage. Is it your mom's or dad's?" JJ asked stunned at what she was seeing.

"Uhm yeah, let's go inside we need to talk about some things." Emily said knowing it would be easier to get this information out right away.

"Okay…" JJ said not liking the sound of what Emily was saying.

Getting out of the vehicle grabbing all the books and then handing her keys to JJ she told her to open the door and then immediately to the right there was a alarm system and that she would have to put the pin in and hit enter twice telling her the pin was 2444. JJ did just that and then turned to see the same view Emily first saw, Emily not realizing JJ stopped walked right into her. Realizing what she was looking at Emily said, "Yeah breathtaking right. But get moving we have to talk and get homework done before I have to take you home." JJ continued walking taking a seat on the black leather couch that she just wanted to swallow her before she had to tell Emily everything.

Emily decided that JJ wasn't going to willingly tell her anything unless she had something from Emily first. Knowing that she decided to get it over with. "So what do you think of the house?"

"Are you kidding? Em it is beautiful, your family must be rich or something! What do your parents do?"

"Well that is the thing, it isn't their house, it is mine, and the truck and jeep are mine too. My mom is and Ambassador in Rome for the United States, my dad is writer but he lives in Rome with my mom. Uhm, well a couple years ago when I was thirteen all my grandparents passed in the same year, and then when I turned fourteen I told my mom I was gay, she didn't take it well at all and before I knew it she had completely turned her back on me, the only reason she let me stay there was because I pissed her off by petitioning the states to get emancipated and that was ruining her perfect image. She fought it and fought it so the judge told me I had to wait till I turned sixteen which was Sunday, so i took all the papers that I needed, like the wills my grandparents left that told me they left everything to me, including this house and an older truck from my grandpa. The judge hated my mom and helped me find all this stuff and he gave me my emancipation papers and i was on a plane here and arrived yesterday morning, but yeah all this is mine." Emily finished and just watched as JJ took everything in she was blinking like crazy and it was starting to make Emily think she made the wrong choice.

"You mean all of this is yours and you live here alone?" JJ asked. She didn't think it was even possible.

"Yes and yes, but that's enough about me I think I figured out what's wrong with you.."

That changed JJ's mood right away, she didn't want Emily to know she really did think that after she told Emily everything that she would immediately walk out of her life and she need a friend. Especially a strong, independent friend like Emily.

"Nothing is wrong, I just don't feel good." JJ tried to deflect.

"I think you know what is wrong and I won't stop being your friend, I think you should just tell me. Besides i told you all my family drama."

"Okay, I will tell you but you can't tell anyone and you have to promise you won't run away from me."

"Pinky promise, sealed with a kiss, and cross my heart." Emily said holding out her right pinky. JJ just looked her with this what the heck are you talking about look.

"What?"

"Here I'll show you, give me your pinky." JJ held out her pinky, Emily locked it and as she was bringing it to her lips told JJ to kiss her thumb, and then cross her heart. "See my dad taught me that when I was younger." JJ thought it was cute but she was still nervous. She thought what the hell and went for it.

"So uhm like two months ago right before school started there was this end of school party, and I was drinking because I need some liquid courage to break it off with Jake, he is actually in your automotive class. But anyways i was pretty drunk and I guess when I went to break it off with Jake he started kissing me and one thing led to another I broke it off with him the next day. Then I found i was pregnant a couple days before you showed up and then friday I told Jake and he told me that I should 'have it taken care off' but Emily i can't do that but my parents if they find out will make me abort him or her or give them up for adoption and Emily i can't do that I want this baby but I'm so scared and I don't wan't to lose your friendship over this but if you can't accept that then I will leave, but please I need someone. And I am pretty sure that as soon as my family finds out they are going to kick me out." JJ said all of this in what seemed like one long breathe and as she waited for Emily to respond she held her breath as tears streamed down her face.

"Hey it's okay I am not going anywhere. I know since Jake, that asshole, isn't going to be here that you'll need someone, I will help you in anyway that I can and I promise I am not going anywhere this doesn't make me want to run away. Yes it is scary but I do think you need to tell your parents about all of this so that we can figure out where to go from however they react." Emily said as she was trying to think of any and every way that JJ's parents would react. She really did want to be there for the blonde, she hadn't realized that she had come to like the girl so much already and she hadn't realized that she had brought the girl into her arms once again. Feeling the soft sobs against her chest she decided she would take JJ to her room and let her sleep till she got some homework and supper done.

"Why don't we take you upstairs and you can get a shower and sleep for awhile and I'll do some homework and make dinner and when it is all done I will come wake you." JJ didn't know when she was pulled into Emily's arms but as soon as she was she was enveloped by the smell of Emily's perfume and she didn't want to move. She was tired so she agreed to what Emily's game plan was and continued got up when Emily did. As she was following Emily up the stairs she couldn't help but thank whatever god had sent Emily into her life. Emily showed her to the bathroom and too tired to wait for the bath to fill with water she decided a shower would do just fine, Emily showed her where the towels were in the closet and how to change the shower head settings before leaving the bathroom to JJ. She quickly set out and old tshirt of hers and some shorts along with sweats since she didn't know which would be more comfortable for the blonde.

JJ stood in the spray of the shower crying and not even realizing how much time had gone by before she heard a knock on the door. "Hey JJ are you okay? You've been in there for forty-five minutes." Emily asked worried about to open the door when a tear filled voice answered her.

"I'm fine Em, I'll be out in a second." JJ said as she rushed to wash her face in the spray before turning it off and grabbing the towels Emily had laid out for her. She saw that Emily had some clothes sitting on the counter and decided that she'd be more comfortable in the shorts. Throwing on the clothes she towel dried her hair a little before leaving it down and walking out of the bathroom right into Emily. "Oh Emily, hi." JJ had just walked right into Emily's boobs and all Emily seemed to do was pull her into a hug. Instantly JJ relaxed and hugged back.

"Hey." Emily replied softly. She was falling hard for this girl and right now she was wearing her clothes and she looked so damn good. Emily felt JJ hug her back and slowly walked backwards toward the bed so they could both sit. "No matter what happens, Jen, I'll be here for you. And while you were in the shower I was thinking. Well, i have two spare rooms, and I live here alone and it's my house so I get a stay in whoever lives here, and if, if your parents do kick you out then I wouldn't see the problem in you staying here. Even if they don't kick you out i could turn one of the guest rooms into a nursery for the baby and then if you ever need a break I can babysit or you could come stay here from time to time."

JJ pulled back from the embrace shocked into silence. This girl barely knew her but already she was more caring then her parents or ex was. She knew she probably shouldn't count on Emily but she was scared and Emily was willing to be her rock. Hell Emily had just said that even though they just met today that she would help take care of her child and allow her to stay in her beautiful home and that she didn't have to worry about anything. JJ was crying again and Emily was hugging her and saying that everything would be alright and before JJ knew it she was asleep on Emily's king size bed Emily still holding her tight.

JJ woke up to a loud shrill ringing. Before she could look at the caller ID she picked up and answered. "Hello?"

"JJ where the hell are you?" Sandy Jareau was not happy one bit. This was the third time she had tried calling her daughter. Where the hell is she at 11:43 p.m. on a school night.

At the sound of her mother's voice JJ went stiff as she looked to the clock on Emily's bedside table. She sat up quickly cursing herself for being so tired, in the process waking Emily.

"Jen what's going on, what time is it, who is on the phone?" As Emily asked she caught a glance at the clock and mentally cursed herself, JJ turned to look at her and mouthed 'my mom' to which Emily immediately jumped out of bed and hurried to get JJ's clothes so she could change and Emily could get her home. JJ looked at Emily and in that look Emily told her it's be okay.

"Mom, I'm sorry I'm at a friends house I fell asleep we will be there soon, I, I think we should talk about something before we go to bed and while my friend is still there." JJ replied stuttering.

"Okay well you better hurry your ass up, this is bullshit Jennifer, you should be more responsible by now you are sixteen for god's sake." JJ went stiff again and Emily noticed right away, she walked over to JJ as she hung up the phone.

"Whatever she said, forget it. I'll be there while you tell them and if things don't go well then I'll be ready to take you back here and we will figure things out from there, okay?"

"Okay." JJ said as she hugged Emily.

"Alright here you can wear your clothes or the ones you have on either is fine by me but it might be a little chilly so you might want to put on the sweats I had out." Emily said as she passed JJ all of the clothes she had mentioned, before grabbing her keys, phone and waiting down stairs for JJ. JJ came walking down in Emily's t and sweats hoping Emily really didn't mind but she felt so comfortable around the other girl.

"Hey you ready?" Emily asked as she saw JJ. JJ nodded and gave a little grin. "What?" Emily asked not understand why she was grinning.

JJ smiled sweetly and gave her best puppy dog eyes, "can we please take the jeep." Emily's knees got weak at the look JJ was giving her and knew right then and there that whatever the blonde would ask of her she wouldn't hesitate in doing. Emily smiled at the blonde and held up the keys that were already in her hand. Before JJ knew it she was being thrown a set of keys and she couldn't believe she was getting to drive her dream car! With an excited squeal she quickly grabbed Emily's hand and pulled her to the Jeep. Jumping into the driver seat JJ just grinned at Emily before starting and backing out of the garage and heading towards here house, it was less than a fifteen minute drive but it felt like forever as JJ's hands began to sweat the closer they got. Emily being the ever observant human she is took one of JJ's hands in hers capturing the blondes attention just for second to say "it'll all be okay" before she went to release the hand she grabbed, JJ held on tighter. Within a few more minutes they were at the house JJ sat and stared for a moment while Emily got out and rounded the vehicle to her side. Slowly she opened the door and asked JJ if she was ready.

"Ready as I ever will be." JJ sighed as she got out and walked with Emily to the door. Taking her keys out she let them in and was met with a very pissed Sandy Jareau and even more pissed Michael Jareau. Emily sensed the tension and let a comforting hand sit in the small off JJ's back to which she felt JJ lean into.

"Hello I'm Emily sorry we were out so late we both fell asleep." Emily offered her hand to which she got blank stares from both parents, bringing her hand back to her side she waited for something to be said.

"Mom, Dad i need to tell you something important and before you try to change my mind I want you to know that my decision is final." JJ stated as she led Emily to the kitchen, which her parents followed also.

"First off young lady, You are grounded till Christmas. Secondly, why are you bringing a stranger into this house, you know better. Third, no decision is final unless I say so." Michael was not happy and he didn't care who saw him pissed, he is the man of the house, he has final say. JJ tensed and could feel Emily step slightly in front of her, protecting her no doubt.

"Dad, you have no say in this I am sorry but you just don't." Sandy was worried what this was if her daughter was being this way and the girl next to her was being so obviously protective, then what the hell was this about.

"The hell if I don't!" her father's voice rang out and she knew it was now that she needed to tell them.

"Mom, Dad, I'm Pregnant and I'm NOT Giving this baby up in any way shape or form. This is my baby and I have right to keep the baby. Jake wants nothing to do with the baby and really that's alright with me, because anyone who is like that i don't want in their life anyway. But there it is, do what you want with that information." As she let out the breath she hadn't notice she had been holding since she got here she relaxed into Emily's hand once again this time the brunette was rubbing her thumb in a calm motion as they both wait for a reaction. Sandy was the first to speak up.

"Y-y-y-you're pre-pre-pregnant?" Sandy asked clearly shocked. Then she heard her father's chuckle and his comment.

"I always knew you were a whore." That was all it took for Emily to reach across and go for a punch but before she knew it her hand had missed the target but he was still falling not quite understand and pulling back as she pulled JJ in tight to her back, she realized Sandy Jareau had just right hooked her husband and knocked his sorry ass out. JJ gasped as she looked at her mother.

"No one says that to my daughter." Sandy shrugged as she took a shocked JJ into her arms. "I'm so sorry I never stood up for you before."

"Mom it is okay but I can't stay here anymore. Not when I have to protect the little one growing inside of me."

"What? Where are you going to go? You don't have any money. I don't have any money. It is all in your dad's name." Sandy said frantically. Emily coughed to make her presence known before she began to speak.

"My house has plenty of room and there is and unfinished basement, i could easily get it finished if you need somewhere to stay Mrs. Jareau." JJ could not believe this woman, first she offers her house to her and her baby, now she is inviting her mother to stay also, even going to the length of making a home with in a home. JJ launched herself into a hug with Emily and Sandy stood back watching realizing that Emily was probably the best friend JJ could've had in this situation.

"Emily, you're so kind but I couldn't possible accept that your parents don't even know me and they wouldn't want me moving in."

"Mom just accept it. Emily is emancipated and once you see her house you will never want to leave. Not to mention her cars. Besides she will talk you into one way or another." JJ said as she pulled back to look at Emily's face.

"Please Mrs. Jareau. I would love to have you as well as your daughter and grandchild in my home, it is really not a big deal and i honestly don't think this is a safe environment for anyone to live in. At least stay with JJ and I till you are back on your feet?" Realizing her daughter was going to live with Emily regardless of if she went or not Sandy agreed.

"Only until i get back on my feet then JJ and I will be out of your hair, lets go back some stuff before this asshole wakes up."

JJ sprinted to her room, packed only what she thought she would need and was back down to put the stuff in Emily's Jeep before ten minutes was up. Since she was done she went to go get Emily from the kitchen who was watching to make sure Michael did not wake as they packed and then went to go get her mom. Emily was a true gentleman and offered to take Sandy's bags as they reached her at the top of stairs. Taking the bags Emily followed the other two ladies from the house and put the bags in the back. She walked to the driver side opened the door and was about to sit when she heard a laugh coming from the seat. Turning her head she realized JJ had already occupied that seat and was laughing as Emily was about to sit on her. Handing over the keys with a shake of the head Emily made her way to the passenger seat as JJ started the car. Once in and buckled JJ was on the way back to where they came from. Once on the main road she didn't even think twice before reaching over and grabbing Emily's hand.

Sandy watched on as her daughter sat comfortably and the most relaxed she had ever seen her. She knew she had Emily to thank for that, and she would be forever grateful to the woman sitting there. She noticed how Emily became quiet and just played with JJ's hand and how JJ was content to let her, but she saw the looks Emily was giving her, and she knew she would be having a talk with her in the near future about those looks.

Before they knew JJ was pulling the Jeep into the garage and her mom was sitting in the back mouth wide open. JJ looked back at her mom. "Yeah mom, it is real and yes she real does own this house, and these vehicles, just wait till you see the view, you won't even be able to walk further than the door." Sandy just shook her head in disbelief at how some teenager who is emancipated owns more than she even has and she thirty eight years old. Stepping out of the car she followed Emily to the door with a suitcase of her clothing as JJ followed her with her own and Emily had another of Sandy's. Boy was JJ right when she said the view would stop you at the door, because even though it was dark outside and it was almost 1:30 in the morning the moon lit the ocean up like no other and as Emily flicked the lights on she couldn't believe she was standing in this house. JJ laughed as she saw her mom pinch herself. Emily just smirked and decided to show the ladies the bedrooms, she had Sandy follow her to the far right and pointed her into the yellow room that had a full bed, and then she pointed JJ to the green bedroom that had the queen bed, but before any of them settled down Emily showed them the guest bathroom in between the two rooms and then told them that anything they found they work more than welcome to use. Sandy decided it had been a long day and retired to 'her' bedroom for the night. Emily told JJ that she had called and left a message at the school saying that they wouldn't be in the rest of the week and to send all homework to or email address. JJ hugged her and then said thank you and goodnight as she walked to her bedroom. Emily had also walked to her room taking a shower before jumping into bed, thinking she would fall asleep instantly from the days events was wishful thinking it was now three a.m. and she had spent the past hour and a half tossing and turning, she had finally given up on sleep and just stared out the beautiful window when she heard a light tap at her door.

"Em are you up?" JJ was at her door hoping the brunette was awake. She hadn't gotten a lick of sleep and she was hoping the brunette would let her come talk to her. Emily sat up a little in her bed and turned the light control by her bed to dim allowing a soft glow to project through the room.

"Yeah come in." Emily watched as the door opened and a sleepy looking JJ in boyshorts and t-shirt walked into her room before turning to close the door, Emily bit her lip as she watched JJ walk towards her, Emily pulled back the covers letting the blonde know it was okay to climb in.

"I'm sorry I couldn't sleep and figured I'd come see if you're awake. Did I wake you?"

"No you didn't wake me. Do you mind if I turn the light off though? Even though it is on dim it is still bright for 3 in the morning."

"No go ahead." JJ said as she watched Emily lean up and switch the light off. As Emily was leaning back down she felt JJ wrap her arms around her in hug from the side. She hugged back but wasn't sure why JJ was hugging her. "Thank you Em. For all of this, I can't thank you enough."

"Hey don't worry about it, let's just lay down and get some much needed sleep." with that Emily and JJ both laid down on their separate sides of the king bed to get at least a little sleep.
