I do not own Criminal Minds
"Hey darling, what should mommy wear on her date?" Emily asked the baby she had cradled in her arms.
JJ and her had never gone on an "official date". She wasn't sure what she should wear, how to do her make- up or even where they were going to go. Okay, one thing at a time, she told herself. She looked through her closet and examined all of the clothes she had. She really didn't have much of a selection. She fleetly looked through her dresses, but then decided against all of them. She wasn't sure if this was going to be formal, or casual. She finally decided on black pants and a navy blue long sleeved top with a V- neck. She laid Jennifer down in her crib and then put the clothes on. As she examined herself in the mirror she settled with adding a silver necklace with a small heart on it. And then she threw on a pair of shiny black heels.
Make up. She wasn't sure whether to put just her work style on, or how she does it when she goes out. Finally she decided she wanted to look better than she did on a normal work day and put mascara and eye shadow on. A knock came to the door as she did quick touch ups. She looked at the clock and saw it read 5:45, and then she ran to the door and opened it for Garcia and Morgan.
"Well Princess sure dressed up for her date." Morgan smiled as they stepped into her house.
Emily blushed at his comment and walked them inside.
"Oh you just look wonderful Emily!" Garcia exclaimed. "What are you and JJ going to do tonight?"
Emily shrugged. "Probably dinner or something."
"Probably dinner or something?" Garcia burst out. "Well it's a good thing I saw this coming and picked these up." She handed Emily two tickets for manicures.
"That's really kind Garcia, but you should keep those."
"Please take them," She shoved them in her face, "or I will be forced to take Morgan. You know how he is about staying pretty."
Morgan grinned sheepishly at the women.
Emily took the tickets from Garcia and placed them in her purse. "Thanks Garcia. Okay," She announced, "Jennifer is in the nursery sleeping, I just fed her. If she cries you might need to change her diaper or burp her."
"I delegate all changing responsibilities to Morgan." Garcia said.
Emily continued, "You all know my cell number and JJ's. Doctor's is on the fridge and the baby monitor is in the living room, make sure it is turned on. Make yourselves at home, which I figure shouldn't be a problem," She glanced at Morgan.
"We can handle Jennifer Garcia," Garcia had made it a habit out of calling Jennifer with her middle name too.
"Okay," Emily smiled at them, "Just please call me if you have any questions or anything." This was Emily's first time leaving Jennifer alone for more than the quick chat with Strauss.
"Go on Emily, and have fun." Morgan ushered her to the door.
"Okay I shouldn't be out too late."
"Be out as late as you like," Garcia told her, "me and Morgan will stay occupied."
"What did I say about keeping this PG?" Emily exclaimed.
"Don't worry Emily, we will watch Jennifer Garcia like a hawk and keep things PG. You have some of the best FBI agents as baby sitters, now go have fun." Garcia commanded and winked at Morgan.
"Okay," Emily said reluctantly, not wanting to leave Jennifer.
After a few more moments of pushing Emily was in her car and driving over to JJ's. For some odd reason she could feel her heart pounding in her chest.
Emily pulled into JJ's driveway at 6:04 and got out of the car. Her legs felt like jell-o as she walked the steps up to her door. When she rang the doorbell she could see JJ running across the hall through the window.
Just a second later JJ opened the door for her date.
Emily's jaw dropped as the door opened. "Wow." Was all she could muster.
JJ smiled and a blush slowly rose up to her cheeks. "You look great too."
"Not as good as you," Emily admired. JJ was wearing a jean skirt, something she had never seen her wear before, and a light pink short sleeved top. She had a white knitted sweater wrapped around her arms and her eyes shined brighter than ever. Her silver heels lifted her up two inched higher than her usual height.
Emily placed her hand out and JJ took it. They walked down the steps together and into Emily's car.
"Where are we going?" JJ asked as they started driving.
"It's a surprise," Emily responded.
Ten minutes later the two of them pulled into Glossy Nails, the salon that Garcia had given her the certificates for.
"This is unexpected." JJ observed their location.
Emily smiled, "It was Garcia's idea."
"Leave it to Garcia," They laughed as they walked into the salon and checked in.
Immediately they got seated in comfortable chairs next to each other. Two Chinese manicurists arrived and sat down across from them.
"What would you like?" They asked them.
"I'll have a French manicure," JJ said, "I must keep a 'professional appearance for when I represent the bureau on television.'" JJ mocked Strauss.
"Well since I don't need to be professional for the next few weeks I will have…" She scanned the array of colors in front of her.
"Get this one." JJ pointed to a color in the third row.
"Okay. I'll have this one." Emily pointed to the pink JJ had picked out.
The manicurists soaked JJ and Emily's hands in warm soapy water and then picked at their cuticles.
"I can't remember the last time I've gotten my nails done," Emily observed.
"The job controls your life."
"Yeah, but I love it."
"Same." JJ had to agree.
The manicurists then started painting their fingers.
"When I talked to Strauss the other day she told me I should take counseling." Emily laughed.
"That's not a half bad idea," JJ said.
"Jayje, come on. I'm over what happened."
"Are you?" JJ looked over at Emily.
"Yes. And even if I weren't I wouldn't talk about it with some probably semi- psychotic shrink."
JJ laughed at Emily's description.
"Plus," Emily added, "I always have you."
When both of the women's nails were done they walked back out to Emily's car and admired them.
"I'm not sure about the pink…" Emily started.
"Well I think it's pretty," JJ cut in.
Emily smiled, "Well I like your 'appropriate for representing the bureau on television' french manicure."
"You hungry?" Emily asked as they got it the car together and pulled out of the parking lot.
"Yeah," JJ admitted, "Got anything in mind?"
"No, I was just thinking we could go downtown and see what there is."
They drove in the car until they reached the center of downtown. They got out of the car and just started walking. JJ gently slid her hand into Emily's as they walked down the sidewalk.
"How about we skip dinner and go straight for desert?" JJ asked eyeing an ice cream shop across the street."
Emily agreed by J- walking across the street with JJ's hand still in hers. They walked into the shop and the aroma of fresh made waffle cones filled the air. It was a little mom and pops shop with a billion flavors of homemade ice cream.
"Mmmm," JJ admired as she decided what flavor to get, "I'll have two scoops of peanut butter cup on a waffle cone."
Emily ordered immediately after her, "I'll have two scoops of rocky road on a waffle cone also."
When they both got their ice cream they exited the shop. With one hand holding their cone's and the other locked in each other's grip they walked down the street. The sun was starting to set behind the building's that surrounded the streets.
JJ looked over at Emily and laughed at the ice cream that was dripping down from her lips. JJ took her thumb and delicately wiped it off.
This time it as Emily's turn to blush.
"This is the perfect date," Emily said affectionately.
They continued down the street still holding hands. JJ glanced over to the side and noticed that a couple was staring at them. It was a man and a woman who looked to be about 40. It was her best bet that they were married. JJ couldn't help but notice they were looking directly at her and Emily's interlinked hands.
"Em," JJ muttered uncomfortably signaling to the couple.
Emily saw them just in time to see the woman point at them and whisper to the man. Her face was one of disgust. Anger filled Emily. She couldn't believe that people were judging them just as they walked down the street.
"Maybe we should just go," JJ suggested uneasily.
Emily glanced back over at the couple and then looked over to the beautiful woman of her dreams.
"Like I said JJ," She turned to face her, "I don't give a damn what other people think."
She kissed JJ passionately on the lips and didn't care who saw.
