Emily sat down at the dinner table, looking over at Garcia who was enclosed in a small group with Kevin, Morgan and a very distraught looking Reid.

"What's going over there?" Hotch asked taking an empty seat next to Emily, "What's with their small grouping?"

"I have no clue" Emily answered turning in the chair to face Hotch, "But I do know that this was a smart idea of Dave's to invite the team up here for the weekend to celebrate JJ and Will's engagement."

Hotch rolled his eyes, "Well I kind of thought, when Dave said going camping, I thought he meant setting up a tent or some small cabin. I wasn't expecting something as big as a lodge but styled like a mansion."

"You know me, Aaron" Dave said walking over as he set down the grilled chicken on the table, "Never expect the expected."

"Wow, Dave" JJ said as she pulled her napkin onto her lap, "This looks amazing."

Dave beamed, "Glad you liked it. Now, how about a toast? Anyone?"

Reid was about to open his mouth when Garcia playfully shoved the younger man back down and stood up herself.

Garcia tapped her wine glass, "Oh me first, me first."

"Why do you get to go first?" Reid asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Because I am a lady" Garcia said rolling her eyes.

Morgan snorted while Hotch and Emily bit the inside of their cheeks to keep from laughing.

JJ chuckled as she looked over at Will, who shook his in amusement.

"Eh hem" Garcia said, clearing her throat to get everyone to look at her, "Good. Will, you make JJ smile and with what she and the team see everyday that's a rare treat. I remember the day that I first heard about you. The team had just came back from that case of yours and when she walked into the bullpen she had this great big smile on her pretty face."

"Garcia" JJ said embarrassed, not looking at the faces of her team.

"Oh hush" Garcia said, "Any-who, she tried to deny it but me being the fabulously awesome chick that I am, wormed it out of her. Imagine my surprise just under a year later when she finally cops to it. She thought she was so smooth and boy was she stunned when she learned that we all already knew it. That you were the one that made JJ's day a lot brighter. And you my good man, are an important part of this family for that. But I, the fountain of all knowledge, will always know everything first."

Will smiled at his fiancée's friend shaking his head, leaning in to kiss JJ, "Thank you, Garcia."

"Nice speech, PG" Emily said raising a glass to the technical analysis, "You forgot the part though where you were angry that you missed the police station kiss."

Garcia raised an eyebrow, "Don't remind me...

"And how upset you were when you were the last to find out about JJ being pregnant from the New York case" Hotch added.

Garcia narrowed her eyes, "And how would everyone like to know that the two of you are together?"

Hotch and Emily's jaws dropped, while Dave snorted at that.

JJ raised an eyebrow as she looked over at the non-shocked faces of her team, "Uh Garcia, we already knew that."

"You did?" Garcia said looking around at the table, "Well how come nobody told me?"

"Because you, baby girl, are the Queen of eavesdropping. We thought you'd have figured that out by now" Morgan said, "Frankly I'm kind of embarrassed that you hadn't yet."

Sitting down next to Kevin, she grumbled her revenge on the team.

"Anyone else?" Dave said chuckling lightly, "Care to add anything?"

"Well, this is hardly the time" Hotch said, "Since this is JJ and Will's party, but I guess we... Emily and I, would like to out ourselves to you."

"But since someone else beat us to the punch" Emily added looking at Garcia, "We'll just tell you we're moving into together."

"That's great" Kevin said then winced when he felt a jab to the rib, "Great."

"Everyone make yourselves comfortable" Dave said, "Mi casa is su casa."

"Awesome, so does that include that big screen tv?" Morgan joked, but snapped his mouth shut when Dave looked at him.


"Can you believe them?" Garcia said pacing around the room she shared at Dave's with Kevin, "I mean it's one thing to not tell the team, but it's another to purposely not tell me. That's just down right wrong."

"Penelope..." Kevin said, "Maybe it had nothing to do with keeping it from you... Maybe it was about Emily and Hotch."

Garcia paused her steps, "Oh hooey what do you know? I knew these two for years and for them to not tell me, it's... it's just wrong."

"You know maybe this was a good thing" Kevin said seeing her sit down on the bed, "Maybe you shouldn't be so focused in on their lives, I mean it's like a soap opera in the BAU."

Garcia turned back around to look at him, "But it's my job. It's always been my job to know everything. After all I am the Oracle of All Knowledge."

"Penelope," Kevin said, "It's one thing to know stuff related to a case but these are their private lives..."

Garcia shook her head, "For years it's always been how much sugar Reid takes in his coffee, how many numbers my mocha milkshake can get in a night, what city Dave will be stopping in for his latest book, or how lately how much sex the boss man and Gumdrop have had and how they can't get enough of it."

Kevin's jaw dropped in shock as he looked at her only muttering, "Now that was something I really didn't need to know."

Garcia rolled her eyes, "What?"

"How about instead of focusing on their own love lives we focus on our own?" Kevin suggested to his girlfriend.

"Well I guess it would be good to think about ourselves" Garcia started but paused when she could hear music coming from the next room.

"What is it?" Kevin asked hearing the tune of music but not recognizing the song.

"I think it's Chris Isaak's Wicked Games" Garcia said listening to the music, then looked over at Kevin, "Whose room is this?"

Kevin frowned, as he tried to remember, "I think that's JJ and Will's room."

Garcia grinned, "Looks like the soon to be newlyweds are going to be getting some Afternoon Delight."

Rolling his eyes, "Glad to know someone's getting some this weekend. Rather it be me though."

Garcia chuckle, "Aw, don't worry my little lamb chop, you wont be lonely this weekend."

Kevin grinned, "Really? You mean it?"

Garcia got off the bed, walking over to Kevin and grabbing his collar, "How's this for really?"

Garcia pulled Kevin into a deep kiss, nipping his lower lip and sliding her tongue in his mouth battling him for dominance as he grasped her hips walking them backwards towards the bed. The sound of the Chris Isaak song blaring through the wall.

'I've never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you. I'd never dream that I'd lose somebody like you. Now I... don't want to fall in love, no I don't want to fall in love, with you...'

"God I love this song" Garcia said as Kevin's mouth went to her neck, nipping the flesh.

"Mm hmm" Kevin said, but when they heard the sound next door to them he stopped to look at her, "OMG, they're so loud."

Garcia giggled, "That's my girl, JJ. She always goes after what she wants."

The sound of the headboard hitting the wall, as the couple grunted out in passion made Kevin advert his eyes to the bed spread.

"Wow" Kevin said, "The way they're going at it, you'd think they were acting like they'd never get to do this again."

Rolling her eyes, "They're just excited about the engagement" Garcia said, "Well I guess we're not going to be getting any yet, so do you want to do something? Go down to the lake?"

Sighing as he lifted himself off the bed, "I guess."

The two heard a knock on their bedroom door, and Kevin turned to Garcia, "Guess it's a good thing we weren't doing anything."

"Yet" Garcia said raising an eyebrow to him, but both eyebrows raised when she seen them at the door.

"Hey guys, Will wants to go down to the lake" JJ said, "You want to come?"

The banging over the bed against the wall, caused JJ to grin as she looked over at Will, "Guess that's a no for them. Garcia?"

"Who's room is next to ours?" Garcia said looking from JJ to Will.

"Hotch and Emily's" JJ said biting her lip to keep from laughing, "Yeah I know they're kind of loud, that's why we're all getting out of the house. Plus I can't stand to listen to that song again."

"Again?" Garcia asked as she grabbed Kevin who seemed to be listening on the brunette couple.

"Oh yeah" JJ said shrugging, "The last case we traveled on, to California, they played that song every couple of hours."

"Hours?" Kevin repeated.

"Yep" JJ said, "As much as I love that song, I can't listen to it again. Not after those two weeks in California."

'What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way. What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you...'

"Lets go" Garcia said, as the four hurry down the hall seeing them look at her puzzled, "What? As much as I love the Gumdrop and boss man, there are somethings that are just too private. Even for me."

"Huh" JJ said shaking her head at Will as the left the hall.

The bedroom door opened, and Emily's head popped out, turning around to Hotch who was sitting on the bed smirking at her.

"Told you it would work" Emily said biting her lip as she wandered over to him, "And now we're finally alone."

"Yes we are" Hotch said kissing her lip, "Now lets put that song back on for real, it just feels wrong to use it that way."

Emily chuckled as he hit replay while pulling her down on top of him, as the song started again.

'The world was on fire, no one can save me but you. Strange what desire will make foolish people do. I'd never dreamt that I'd meet somebody like you...'
