"Take a deep breath."
"This is the worst time to get a case!" JJ lamented, dropping her go-bag onto the desk that took up one side of the hotel room.
Emily snickered and dumped her own bag onto the bed before toeing her shoes off and pulling her shirt over her head. "It's not like serial killers would really respect our wedding plans, Jayje."
JJ groaned and shrugged out of her dress jacket, tossing it indelicately on the back of the desk chair. "I know! But who knows how long this case is going to take, and then we have all the follow up paperwork, not to mention all the consults that aren't getting done while we're on an active case, and we're getting married in less than ten days, and,"
"Take a deep breath." Emily cut her off, crossing the room and put her arms around her. "It'll be fine."
JJ pouted and hooked her arms around Emily's neck. "But everyone's already coming to town and we've already booked the venue and paid the caterer…"
Emily kissed the blonde softly. "It's going to be okay." She said soothingly. "This case will take, what? Probably a week tops, if that? We've been through what the locals have done and they've been really thorough so I'll be surprised if it takes as long as that. Hotch isn't going to let us miss our own wedding, even if we leave work to do."
"I guess…"
Emily kissed JJ's forehead. "Worst case scenario, we'll push it back if we have to."
"Emily…" JJ sulked. "We can't just cancel everything."
Emily smiled and released JJ so she could get ready for a shower. "Sure we can! I don't know about you, but I only plan on getting married once and since I'm only going to do it once, I want to do it right."
"What happened to eloping in Vegas at a drive through chapel?" JJ teased, starting to unbutton her shirt.
Emily shrugged. "That was before we sent out the invitations." She reasoned. "My Mother has made it clear that she's coming no matter what, so what the hell, right?"
JJ snorted and shook her head. "That's definitely what your fiancée wants to hear eight days before you get married: 'what the hell?'"
Emily shimmied out of her pants and went over to the bathroom, stopping in the doorway. "Wanna shower with me?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
JJ frowned. "What about the second base rule?"
Emily shrugged and tilted her head toward the interior of the bathroom before unhooking her bra and tossing it on the floor.
JJ sighed and muttered "What the hell?" to herself and followed Emily into the bathroom.
