Darkness Ch9
"oh my god Em, this is beautiful.. is this where you where when I couldn't find you?"
Emily thought about lying to JJ and saying yes, but they had known each other for to long to start lying now.
"no, I mean this was my idea, but this was all Garcia.. got to love that woman"
"yea, she is something else isn't she"
Emily just took JJ by the hand and led her to the table, after they ate, they danced a little. Then they decided to go to bed, thankfully Garcia and Derek had kept Henry so that both women could relax and heal a little bit without a toddler running around.
When morning rolled around it took JJ a minute to realize that she was wrapped around Emily, she knew that she would feel the pain as soon as she tried to move, but it was well worth it to be able to wake up next to her. She was also very grateful that Hotch had given her the rest of the week off, which meant that she had 4 more days to get things figured out and to figure out what was going on with Emily.
As JJ tried to get out of bed without waking Emily, she was doing good until she winced at the pain in her ribs, suddenly Emily was wide awake as if JJ had screamed or something.
"are you ok"
"yea, I'm fine.. sorry I didn't mean to wake you"
"it's ok.. I should be getting up soon anyway.. time for coffee and then I think that we need to talk"
"just tell me that you are not leaving again"
"Jennifer Jareau I never intend to leave again"
Emily took JJ's face in her hand and then kissed her.
"I think that we need to talk about what happens now, I mean what do we do?"
The women talked about work, and if they were going to tell the team that they were trying to make it work, but they decided to wait for a while in order to show that It wouldn't get in the way of their jobs, after talking about work they talked about living arrangements. JJ said that she was going to give up the house and get an apartment. They both decided that it was too soon and to new in their relationship for them to just start living together. After they talked it was time for lunch, they decided that they would go get Henry from Garcia, and then maybe go to the park for him to play.
When they got to Garcia's JJ couldn't decided who was more excited Henry or Emily, they had seen each other in over 2 years. JJ was a little shocked Henry even remembered Emily. Emily reached down and picked the boy up, JJ could see that it hurt her to lift him, but seeing the smile on her son's face she knew that Emily wouldn't have it any other way.
After thanking Penelope and Derek the women made their way to the park with Henry.
"Emmy, come play with me" the little boy whined as he ran to the swings
Emily looked at JJ who then looked at the little boy, how could anyone say no to him
"just be careful and no over doing it"
"yes, mom" Emily replied.
Emily took the little boys hand and they were off to go play on the swings, JJ couldn't help but smile at the sight and for a minute she didn't think that it was possible to love those two anymore then she already did. After the swings Henry had convinced Emily that he wanted her to go with him to the slide and help him with the monkey bars, that's when she knew that tonight would be a pain pill kind of night..
After helping Henry across the monkey bars, she looked over to JJ's direction, but she wasn't there, all of a sudden she got a really bad feeling. She quickly grabbed Henry and headed back over to the picnic area. The first thing that she noticed was the JJ's water bottle was open and had been poured over, also sitting on the blanket was JJ's cell phone.
As she looked around she almost missed it she saw a blonde ponytail heading off into the woods, and she wasn't alone.
