When they arrived at the airport JJ bought a very large mocha latte from the Starbucks. Their bags were checked and they were looking out onto the runway. Emily loved this part. Ever since she was little she loved watching the planes take-off and land. JJ watched Emily as she stood by the window. The excitement on Emily's face reminded her of a little child. As JJ watched her lover she was shocked when she saw tears come to Emily' s eyes.

"Emily? Baby, what's wrong? What's the matter?" JJ pulled Emily into a hug and looked up into her eyes. Emily didn't even move to wipe away the tears. She felt no shame crying in front of JJ.

"Nothing, nothing is wrong." JJ was still looking at her and she knew she had to explain. "My grandfather and I would watch planes all the time. You could see the landing strip from his penthouse in Paris. He was my best friend and I told him about my sexual orientation first. He died when I was in college and I was crushed. But I'm crying because he predicted this. He told me that I would find happiness and love and I have. I'm still astounded when I wake up with you in my arms. It's the most wonderful and amazing feeling in the world. I've only ever said these three words to one person and that's you. I love you." As soon as she finished she looked at JJ in the eyes and saw all the feelings she felt. The compassion, the joy, and the love.

"I love you too. Now, let's go on our first family vacation." JJ gave Emily her 1000 watt smile, took her hand, and guided her towards the plane.

JJ was surprised when they walked on the plane and Emily stopped at first class. She leaned over and whispered in the brunette's ear, "Baby, what are we doing in first class?"

"Jennifer, I'm filthy rich and wanted you to be comfortable. We have a total flight time of 4 hours and 40 minutes but we have a 40 minute layover in Atlanta."

"Em, you never told me where exactly, in the Bahamas, we were going."

"We are going to what's called Paradise Island. Have you ever heard of it?"

"Have I heard of it? Of course I have heard of it and it's extremely expensive Emily." Her whisper was getting more agitated. Emily had to find a way to calm her down.

"Look, I have money and I want to spend it on you. I know that my money is not the reason your with me. But my mother is a frequent guest and we always get the private suite in the corner. I wanted to make this vacation special because this is probably the last one we will have before the baby is born. And I wanted to surprise you…please don't be mad at me." The nervousness in Emily's eyes was apparent and JJ smiled.

"Sorry, I'm just not used to being treated this well. I feel like a princess and I don't want you to think I'm using you for your money. And did you say private suite?" As she said the last part she placed her hand on Emily's hip.

"Hmm, I think I did. And may I mention that this suite overlooks the ocean, it has no other rooms around it and it has a reserved and secluded section on the beach." Emily smiled at JJ and sat into her seat and immediately reclined. She pulled out her magazine and looked up. JJ was an inch from her face.

"Ms. Prentiss, are you trying to seduce me?"

"Why yes I think I am, dear." her husky whisper reached JJ's ear and the blonde almost melted right there. This was going to be a long flight. JJ sat down and pulled out her book and made herself comfortable. Emily continued to read her magazine but rested her left hand on JJ's thigh. They remained this way for most of the flight. Emily only removed her hand when JJ got up to pee; which was a good chunk of the flight. During their layover in Atlanta, they ate at a restaurant and then waited for their plane that would take them to Nassau. They sat in silence but JJ had her hand intertwined in Emily's. Both of them could feel the electricity flowing freely between them. Emily was afraid that if she said anything, her voice would come out unsteady. God, she was so turned on and JJ had given no more physical contact than holding her hand. She wasn't sure if she could last any longer.

"Emily, how fast can you get us checked in? Because I don't know how much longer I can take this. I need you now and I really hate these hormones sometimes."

"I can get us checked in quickly babe, I promise."

"Okay, thank you baby. I just need time to cool off and take a breather."

"Well when we get to the hotel room, I can take the edge off baby." She whispered this in JJ's ear and her hand slid farther up JJ's thigh.

"Jesus Emily, that's not helping." They were about to kiss and neither of them found the courage to stop it but a small little girl walked up to JJ and pointed to her belly.

"Is there a baby in there?" Her little voice was so innocent and sweet and JJ smiled immediately.

"Yes, sweetie. There is a baby in here." A man made his way over to the little girl and quickly apologized for the disturbance. JJ replied sweetly, "No, it was no problem at all and I guess I'm going to have to get used to that."

"Well, yea I guess but I'm sure your child will be more well behaved." winked at JJ felt Emily's hand tense up.

"So, if you don't mind me asking, why are you headed to the Bahamas?"

"Well, my girlfriend and I are getting some quality time in before the baby is born." JJ looked at Emily and smiled. Emily returned the smile and laced her fingers in JJ's. The guy got the hint and grabbed his little girl and moved back to his seat in the waiting area. Emily couldn't take the smile off her face for the rest of the wait or the flight for that matter. JJ was finding it increasingly difficult to keep her hands to herself but she couldn't stop smiling either. The word 'girlfriend' came so natural is was surprising but she was happy because this felt natural and totally right.
