*Okay as always I own nothing of Criminal Minds or Rizzoli & Isles just enjoying using the characters.
Pen and JJ made it back to the morgue within twenty minutes since her apartment wasn't that far from BPD. They went straight to the morgue and saw Jane standing basically where they left her. "Jane...what's going on?" JJ asked worriedly.
"I don't know... I haven't heard a word and frankly I'm to nervous to go in there." She said looking at JJ with a grim look. "Look we do not have time for this." She said as she passed Jane and went to Maura's door and knocked. "Maura...Emily... it's me Jennifer." She softly said and waited for a minute until she heard, "Come in Jennifer." in a cracked voice. She opened the door and the sight almost broke her resolve. She so wanted to call Hotch and tell him to back off but knew she couldn't because lives were at stake. She saw Emily sitting on the couch with a red eyed Maura stretched across her lap. Anyone could have seen that the woman had been crying hard. "I'm so sorry...but we..."
"I know...we will be out in a moment." Emily said wiping tears from her own eyes.
"Okay I'll send Pen for your bag if I can have the keys." She said until she saw Emily pointing to a bag that was in the corner. "Maura had that here in case I was out when I go into labor so she could just meet me at the hospital without going home." JJ shook her head and grabbed the bag and walked out wiping a tear from her eye.
Pen and Jane saw her coming out with Emily's bag and Jane's head fell. She was so hoping a miracle would happen and Emily would be staying in Boston. Then she had a thought and looked up at JJ, "Can't she interview the girl via conference call from here?"
"Jane... Emily is so good with these children. They will open up to her in person but conferencing is just to cold and impersonal for them to connect."
"I get it...but won't it give her flashbacks?"
"I'm sure that is part of the reason Maura is so up set about her going but I will make sure we room and sleep together." She said patting Jane on the arm.
"Here they come." Pen said alerting the two to be quiet.
Maura walked straight up to JJ and pulled her aside, "Jennifer... I do not like this a bit but lives are at stake. Bring her back to me safely...please." She said as she wrapped JJ in a hug. "I promise Maura I will do everything in my power to make that happen." She said pulling away and kissing the woman sealing her promise.
Jane went to Emily while Maura was talking to JJ, "It will kill her if anything happens to you or that baby... you know that right?"
"I know Jane. Take care of her until I get back."
"I will...just make sure you do." She said giving the woman an Angela Rizzoli look hoping it would help make it happen.
"That's is my intention." She said and hugged the woman. Pen hugged everyone then Maura and Emily kissed one more time, "agapó to dikó mou triantáfyllo" (I love you my rose)
"Do not flirt with me right now Emily Prentiss." Maura said half smiling and half tearing up.
"It's a promise for the next time love." She said and kissed the woman so passionately it took everyone's breath away that saw it. Pulling away for air, "We have to go." She said as Maura shook her head in acknowledgement. Emily motioned Jane over to wrap her in a hug and to take care of her as the three got into the elevator. "This just sucks apples." Pen said as they rode up to the first floor. The two women looked at her with Emily asking, "Is that the best you got?"
"It's sucks so badly that yes that's all I have at the moment... smarty pants." She said as Emily and JJ laughed at her.
They made it to the jet just in time to sit and buckle up for take off. They had to find the extender part for Emily who wasn't to happy about the situation. She looked out the window as they taxied down the run way and watched as Boston became a dot and remembered the first time landing with the team and was afraid of seeing Maura again. Now all she wanted to do is yell land the plane I'm going back home to her.
"What are you thinking about Em?" JJ asked as she noticed the woman had pulled into herself. Emily looked over at the woman who had known then that something was wrong that day and was there for her. The one who would always be there for her when something was wrong, "Just reminiscing a bit," and took her hand and lifted it up and kissed it. "It will be alright Emily." JJ said trying to comfort her.
"Jennifer... Maura is never wrong about things concerning me. There is something bad waiting on us in Pennsylvania."
"I know I feel it in my gut too but we could be wrong."
"Sweetie...Maura and I are together now like we were in school. That's why she reacted so strongly. I just pray I get to keep my promise of the next time with her."
"You will honey...we will fight whatever it is and come home." She said smiling at the woman. The plane leveled out and Hotch stood up and started handing out files, "Let's get started."
Okay another quick update... I have a little research to do on something but I'll try another update tonight tomorrow night at the latest.
