A/N #1 - Okay, I am really glad everyone liked the last story. It was one the harder ones to write. Again it was inspired by my best friend whose family had completely disowned him. So I've been there and I still can't believe that any ones parents would do something like that. I might do a follow up piece, I haven't decided (so be on the look out).
A/N #2 - OKay we are going back a little further this time. AJ is only 8. I had some requests for some more 'young AJ' stories, so there will be a couple more after this one (I think).
Enjoy...
JJ was laying in bed with her head resting on Emily shoulder. It was early and Emily was still asleep. JJ was wide awake staring at the white bandage wrapped Emily's other shoulder. She gently traced the edges of the bandage that was visible around the tank top Emily had on. She felt a shiver run down her spine as she thought about what the bandage meant and about the phone call she received three days before.
Flashback...
"Agent Jereau." JJ said as she answered her phone.
"JJ, it's Morgan. Emily's been shot!" JJ was sure she felt her heart stop. She was glad that she was sitting down because she wasn't sure her legs would be able to support her right now.
"SHOT?" JJ yelled into the phone. "Where at? How bad is it?"
"In the shoulder." Morgan answered. "Her left shoulder, just above her heart." JJ could hear the pain and the worry in his voice.
JJ felt a tear roll down her cheek as she thought about how close it had been. The doctor said just two inches lower and Emily would have never made it. JJ felt Emily stir under her and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek.
"Morning beautiful." JJ smiled as Emily opened her eyes. JJ's hand still resting on the bandage.
"Hey yourself." Emily smiled as she looked down at JJ, quickly noticing the remanets of tears on her cheek. "Hey, what's wrong?" Emily asked concerned.
"Nothing." JJ said as she began to absently trace the bandage again. Emily placed her hand on hers and JJ quickly jumped up. "Oh my god, I'm sorry. Was I hurting you?" Panic clearly visible across her face.
"No, its fine." Emily said as she sat up, not as quickly as JJ had, but still the pain was getting better. JJ didn't seem convinced. "Seriously, sweetie, it's fine. I just know what you were doing and what you were thinking about."
"I'm sorry, its just..." JJ got lost in her thoughts as the tears threatened to fall again.
"Hey come here." Emily said she pulled JJ into a hug. "I'm fine."
"I know, it's just I have never been so scared in all of my life."
"I know, but everything is fine." Emily smiled and JJ finally relaxed. "Plus I've been doing some thinking."
"Oh really about what?"
"I think you, me and AJ need to go on vacation. Like a real, honest to god vacation."
"A vacation, what's that?" JJ teased.
"I'm serious JJ. I'm going to be off for the next three weeks and I'm sure you could get a couple weeks off if you ask."
"So you're serious? A vacation? Like on a nice warm beach somewhere with no work and no guns?"
"I was thinking Hawaii."
"Oh my god, when can we leave." JJ smiled as she kissed Emily.
Four days later JJ, Emily and AJ were unpacking their bags in the beautiful beach house Emily had rented for them for the next two weeks.
"This place is amazing." JJ said as she looked out at the view from the bedroom.
"I know right. This is going to be perfect. Two weeks of nothing but sun, sand and my two favorite girls." Emily smiled as she wrapped her good arm around JJ's waist.
"Can we go to the beach?" AJ yelled as she ran into the master bedroom. "I wanna build a sand castle."
"Did you put all your stuff away?" Emily asked.
"Yep!" AJ replied, so excited to be on vacation with her mothers.
"Now did you really put it all away or just threw it in the closet?" JJ asked, to which AJ rolled her eyes. "I'm serious AJ."
"Geez mom would you relax. You're on vacation and I promise I put my stuff away."
"Ya, mom relax." Emily teased kissing JJ on the back of her neck. "Your mom and Ineed to put our stuff away first then we can go out." Emily told her daughter and AJ's smile faded.
"Emily, you take her. I'll unpack." JJ said as she looked at AJ's face.
"Are you sure?" Emily asked tuning to JJ.
"It's no big deal. You two go, I'll unpack and I meet you in a little bit."
"Okay, well you heard your mother. Go put your bathing suit on and lets go." Emily smiled and AJ cheered.
Emily changed into her swim suit. It was a simple red tankini but JJ couldn't take her eyes off it.
"You look damn hot there Agent Prentiss." JJ teased.
"Oh shut up." Emily blushed.
"Make sure AJ puts plenty of sun screen on."
"Will do." Emily smiled, as AJ came running down the hall wearing her swim suit and carrying a towel.
"And you better keep that sling on, because if I come out there and its off I'll…" JJ was cut off by Emily's lips. "I'm just saying." JJ laughed as they broke apart.
About an hour later, JJ made her way to the beach. AJ was in the midst of building a huge sand castle and Emily was reading a book.
"Mom, look what I made?" Emily looked over at the castle and smiled. However, her attention drifted to the sight walking towards her.
"Holy..." Emily gawked.
"See something you like Agent Prentiss?" JJ teased as she got closer.
"Honey, you look… wow. I don't know what to say." JJ was wearing what Emily could only describe as string; because there was certainly not enough fabric there to be considered clothing. It was bright yellow, with little orange flowers on it. It covered all the important parts but left little to the imagination.
"I though you would like it."
"Look at my castle mom?" AJ said as JJ sat down beside Emily, who was still staring at her.
"That is great sweetie." JJ smiled at her daughter. "Honey, you can quit staring now." JJ said as she turned towards Emily who began to blush.
A couple hours later the a few more beach goers showed up, including a group of college frat boys. A couple of which, Emily noticed, took a keen interest in JJ. Of course, who the hell won't, I mean damn that bikini is tiny, Emily thought to herself as she watched JJ come out of the ocean.
"You seem to be attracting an audience." Emily teased as JJ sat back down.
"Oh really." JJ looked over to where Emily was pointing and smiled. "That one's pretty cute." JJ teased, to which Emily slapped her on the arm. As if on cue the guys in question 'over threw' their football and it landed not two feet from JJ. One of them came running over and picked up the ball.
"I'm sorry. I hope that we didn't disturb you." He said, never taking his eyes off of JJ.
"No harm no foul." JJ smiled back and Emily rolled her eyes.
"Actually my friends and I were wondering if maybe we could buy you and your friend here a drink?"
"Well first of all she is my wife and second of all she's currently taking pain medication so she can't drink, but thanks for the offer." JJ smiled grabbing Emily's good hand.
"Oh, well I apologize. I just assumed… I do apologize."
"No big deal, but you might want to tell your friends to stop staring, because my wife hear," JJ pointed at Emily, "is an FBI agent and she tends to be the jealous type."
"Of course, I'm sorry." The guy apologized one last time before running back over to his friends. A couple quick glances back at JJ and Emily and the guys decided that they should find another spot on the beach.
"The jealous type, uhn?" Emily smiled as the watched the guys pack up their stuff. "You failed to mention to him that I didn't bring my gun."
"Oh well, they don't know that." JJ teased.
