Unbeta'd….
…
"Have you talked with her, yet?" JJ asked amused.
"No. Do you… I mean… Could you, maybe, come with me?" Adam told her shyly.
"C'mon Adam! I'm sure it's not the best idea to bring the girl you used to be in love with to ask to the girl you love now to move in with you!" JJ laughed.
"Yeah… Maybe not the best idea." He replied passing his hands through his hair.
"Maybe?" JJ laughed again.
"It's just… I never did that before, JJ, I'm nervous." He explained.
"It's normal that you are, Adam. But it's going to be alright." She comforted him squeezing his hand. "After all you two have been through, I'm sure she loves you. You know that, right?"
"Yeah, yeah…" Adam said smiling. "You think she's gonna say yes?"
"Of course she will!" JJ reassured him by hugging him. "But if you still have doubts about how to do it why don't you speak with someone that has gone through the same?" She suggested.
"That's a good idea actually." He answered smiling. "Do you think I could come over your place this evening and talk with Flack about how he did it?"
"You could come over but he more or less didn't ask me." She replied smiling remembering how more than 2 years ago, sitting on a hospital bed, she shouted in front of her parents that she would move in with her boyfriend before even talking with him about the topic. "Maybe you could try with Danny, but with Lucy and Lindsay back home he's probably too busy. But they would probably tell just to be honest. Tell her how you feel, how she makes you feel and everything will go smoothly, Adam."
"Thanks, JJ." He told her before kissing her cheek. "I'll ask her to have dinner with me tonight and then I'll pop the question. Who knows? Maybe in a year we'll get married or be expecting a kid." He joked.
"Or Blue and I will." JJ whispered smiling.
"Are you..?" He asked surprised.
"No, no, no… Not yet, anyways." She answered. Seeing that he was still quite confused she kept talking. "Blue wants to have another kid, well, he wants a girl. A mini Jamie, as he likes to call it."
"You don't seem very happy about that." He commented. "You don't want a daughter?"
"I really want a daughter, Adam." She sighed and sat down on the office couch. "When I got pregnant with James I had this dream about Blue and I having a girl that we named Katie. For a while, until we knew the sex of the baby, we talked to the baby as it was a girl, so when we finally knew it was a boy it took me a little bit as a surprise." She explained. "I want to have another baby with Blue and I want it to be a girl, although I know that if it's a boy we'll love him anyways but I want a girl."
"Then where's the problem, JJ?" Adam asked still confused.
"I stopped listening to what people said about me or my relationship with Blue a long time ago, but..." She through her hands in the air in surrender. "I'm a wife, a mother of a 10 months old toddler, a friend, a CSI, and all that when I'm just 25! And I'm planning on having a second kid soon. I'm turning into one of those girls I used to criticize so much. The ones that after high school, got married and started having kids so when they turned 30 they were totally bored of their lives and their husbands didn't love them anymore and before they turned 35 they were getting divorced and chasing college boys!" She ended almost shouting. Adam kneeled in front of her and placed his hands on her legs. "I don't want to be a cougar!" She said tearing up. He just stared at him and tried to suppress a laugh but when he saw JJ's face, he couldn't hold it anymore and soon JJ joined him laughing too.
"A cougar?"Adam asked still smiling.
"Shut up!" She replied hitting him in the chest.
"Ok, now seriously." He said and after a deep sigh to calm down a little bit he continued. "First, you are turning 26 in a month." He told her to make her smile and succeeded. "Second, you are not one of those girls, JJ. You went to college, got a degree on veterinarian medicine, traveled around the world, became a CSI. And in between all that you met the man of your dreams married him and had a kid. It's a totally different story. Who cares if you want a daughter now? It's your life, if that's what you really wish, then you should get it without worrying about turning into cougar or whatever." He told her squeezing her knees to reassure her. "And you forgot about a tiny detail. Flack is not one of those guys either. He'll never get bored of you or divorce you. He loves you too much for that. And I bet he will understand if you told him that maybe you need a little bit more time to think about it."
"I know, I know…" JJ said whipping away the tears that were running freely across her cheeks. "Thanks for listening to my ramblings, Adam."
"I'm always here for you, JJ." He replied sitting next to her on the couch to be able to hug her. "You are my best friend, remember?" She hugged him tightly and sighed.
"I should really talk with Blue about that, right?" JJ asked once they pulled apart.
"Yeah, although I guess it actually don't change the outcome of all this." Adam replied shrugging.
"What do you mean?" She asked a little bit confused.
"You really thought about it and you've already taken a decision, JJ." He explained. "You are gonna have a daughter with Flack." He said matter-of-the-factly.
She smiled widely at him and blushed. "You are right." She sighed relieved.
"You just needed to let it out and you were afraid of Flack's reaction although I'm sure there was nothing to be scared of." Adam told her and grabbing her hands he helped her stand up from the couch.
"You grew up, Adam." She said smiling and he blushed. "Thanks, for everything." She hugged him one more time and started walking out of the office but stopped on the doorframe. "Good luck with Jess, although you don't need it, she's going to say yes. Keep me updated, ok?"
"I'll call you."He promised her as she left the room.
JJ grabbed her cell phone and started texting.
There's something really good and important I have to tell you. Grab some pizza and meet me home after your shift.
I love you tons.
She smiled when just a few seconds later she received his reply.
Can't wait to spend the evening with you.
I love you a lot.
Her shift couldn't pass faster enough. She wanted to get home and tell him that although she wasn't pregnant yet, they were going to have a daughter soon.
