Since I was unable to load up a chapter last night due to issues I was having with the site you are getting a second one today. I hope to catch up and then have one a day till Valentines day. There will be a bit of JJ and Dave as well through this as I seem to not be able to help myself and add them into the mix :)
Also thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave me some feedback it is great to get. :) I do hope you enjoy this update :)
Monday morning arrive far too quickly for the couple. They got up and ready for work, Hotch as per normal headed off before Emily to arrive at the BAU before her.
It's mid-morning as Emily sits at her desk in the BAU working on her report from their case in Miami her mind went back to the feeling she had of waking up beside Hotch, and how she will be doing it everyday from now on, a smile breaks out over her face. For someone who isn't use to trusting people so much and has not had a true romantic relationship since Doyle the feeling she got this morning, the feeling of contentment and safeness was overwhelming. It wasn't like she hadn't slept with him before and stayed over because she had so a number of times since getting back from Paris and more so since Beth. Yes Beth, if it wasn't for her she doesn't think either of them would have told the other how they felt. Of course if it wasn't for her having a bad day and Hotch saying to her that he was there for her to talk to that she opened up to him and as he comforted her that faithful day, it was when his arms were around her in the privacy of the jet did she take note of the feelings running through her, feelings coming from his touch. Then he kissed the top of her head as he spoke softly to her to calm her down. He quickly sent a text to JJ and told her to hold off arriving with the others that him and Prentiss where talking and needed privacy that only the jet could offer right now.
She is so pleased now that she told him that she was having a bad day that day otherwise they would not be where they are today.
She keeps on dreaming with a smile on her face, which when Morgan passes her desk he notices her day dreaming.
"Prentiss?" He asks her as she is steering away at nothing.
"Emily, you ok?" He asks her as he places a hand on her shoulder.
"Yea I'm fine." She says as she starts to read her report.
"I know you're ok, but you spaced out there and had this 'the cat got the canary' smile on your face." She says nothing.
"So you never told me how your new man found you were in Miami?"
"That is because it is none of your business Morgan."
"Come on Prentiss you get sent a single yellow tulip, then you receive a gift of some sort while in Miami, I just want to know who he is so I can make sure it he suitable to your needs." He says to her and she can't but help and laugh at him.
"Oh Morgan my dear friend you don't have to worry there he is total up to and if not exceeding my needs oh and expectations on more than one level." She says to him deciding to play him at his own came. He sits there shaking his head.
"Ok I didn't need to know that much thank you."
"You asked Morgan so you got." She says as she gets up and heads off to make herself a cup of tea.
Morgan follows a few seconds later.
"Look Emily I just want to make sure this guy knows what he is in for regarding our job and that he doesn't break your heart when it all gets too much for him. It is hard for people outside our job to understand the hours we have to put in and the time away. I would hate for you to get hurt. That is all." He says to her his voice soft and caring and for Emily it is nice to know that the team look out for her and care for her like they do after everything she put them through with her fake death.
"Thanks for caring about me Morgan but I can say without a doubt that my job doesn't worry him at all, he also spends a fear amount of time away too for his job; so we both understand what it is like for the other with traveling." She says as she places a hand on his shoulder then heads back to her desk to finish off her report.
Just after lunch they got interrupted by a conference call regarding a case in L.A the spent the next three hours on the phone to the L.A office helping them out with different aspects to their case. It is around 3.30 when a delivery arrives.
Morgan of course thinks it is for Emily.
"Prentiss another delivery for you is it?" He asks when they see the same delivery guy from last week walking towards them.
"It better not be or someone will be in a lot of trouble." She replies giving a quick look at Hotch who shakes his head at her.
"I'm looking for Agent Jareau." He doesn't total get the surname right but it is close enough.
"You mean Jareau and that is me." JJ says as she signs and takes the bunch of mixed wildflowers from the delivery guy who quickly lives the room. She doesn't even bother to turn and look at the rest of the group before walking out of the room and towards her desk with Emily hot on her heels.
"Well looks like the ladies of the team have mystery men in their lives does anyone know who they are?" Asks Morgan and Hotch give him a serious look which Morgan knows straight away means drop the subject."
"JJ" Emily says once they get to her desk and are out of earshot of the guys.
"Now I thought Hotch was the only one doing this whole lets be romantic and throw surprises. Now you're getting it too." Emily says as she watches JJ take the note out of the envelope and starts to read it. JJ smiles.
"Nice to see you smiling after everything with Will."
"It's nice to be smiling again. Not that I didn't love Will or anything but he was right the job tore us apart. He's a great father to Henry."
"So is it from who I think it is from?"
"Sure is." JJ says and they both sit their smiling.
"So what has had you smiling all day?"
"What do you mean?"
"That smile you've had on your face all day. That smile that tells me that you overly happy about something or someone. What did he do? Oh no I don't think I won't to know not after last time I asked that question." JJ Says shaking her head and they both end up cracking up laughing over what happened last time Emily spoke about what her and Hotch had done that had her smiling all day.
"Prentiss, Jareau back to work please." Hotch says as he walks towards his office. Emily pulls out her mobile.
He asked me to move in and I agreed. Is sent to JJ, as her phone goes off and she reads it she squeals which of cause gets the whole rooms attention. JJ gets up and runs over and hugs Emily which is witness by all of them and Rossi can't help but turn around and walk towards Hotch's office instead of going to his desk in his office.
Rossi shuts the door as he enters Aaron's office.
"Ok what did you do that has Emily smiling all day and JJ squealing?"
"Dave why don't you explain why you have sent JJ flowers to the office?" Aaron comes straight back with as he sits down and opens a file.
"Aaron come on spill, the team know JJ is living at my place since she split with Will."
"Yes but they all don't know that since the day you saw her you have had a thing for her."
"Ok Aaron you got me on that one so Emily?" He asks again and Aaron tells him about the day before and how they are now living together. Dave is happy for him well for both of them.
