Chapter 14:

JJ woke up, but refused to open her eyes. She had had the best dream. She dreamt that Emily had told her she liked her, and after a minor freak out, JJ had said it back and then she was allowed to fall asleep in the arms of her angel. She sighed, but kept her eyes closed. What was it with this woman. Even the thought of her made her stomach flutter. She knew that once she opened her eyes she would be in her bedroom, alone. Her alarm clock would let her now that she had 10 minutes before it went off. She tried to roll out off bed, but her back hit something soft. Something that grunted?

"Jaaaaay. Don't move. I'm trying to sleep here!" Emily wined softly. JJ's eyes shot open. It wasn't a dream! She looked around the room, before her eyes settled on the arm draped across her hips. Emily was spooning her with her arms draped safely around her. JJ carefully shifted and turned to face Emily. She sighed happily and snuggled closer to the other woman. It wasn't long before both women were breathing even and deep asleep.

"Yey! Paperwork!" Morgan fell down in a chair and rolled his eyes.

"Why are you so happy about paperwork Morgan? You usually don't like it." Reid, sitting on the desk next to Morgan and being, well Reid, didn't understand the sarcasm in the other agent's voice. Morgan just chuckled and shock his head.

The team had finally had a break in the interrogation when Garcia found the link between NOPD and James Lee. For the last two years James Lee had been exposed for vandalism. Whenever he had reported it, they always said the same thing: "Without evidence there is not much we can do!". Around every fortnight Mr. Lee would wake up to find his car windows smashed or holes in his garage walls. Tired of always talking to some officer who would just blow him off, Mr. Lee went in search for Detective LaMontagne. After following him from the precinct Det. LaMontagne stopped at the Cajun Cabin. When he was about to approach the policeman, a waitress came out of nowhere and started to flirt heavily with him. Mr. Lee decided to just wait outside for him when he overheard something that made his blood boil. "ya know, I'm surprised you're her Will. Aren't you busy at this day, or is my calendar not working?" The detective had chuckled, but asked what she meant. "Oh you know what I mean, baby! Don't deny it! You come here every day except every other monday, and if my math is correct you were here last monday." She winked at him, "isn't the weird, paranoid farmer coming in today?" She laughed and leaned forward to whisper something else in his ear.

Two days later that very waitress was his first victim. After that it seamed that LaMontagne was everywhere, and all of the waitresses were talking about him. He couldn't take it. Then this blonde comes along WITH LaMontagne. When she was alone he decided to grab her and he was determined to get her to talk. But she just kept saying the same thing over and over again. "BAU" and "FBI".

When Hotch and Reid finally cracked him, Morgan and Rossi were finishing up with LaMontagne's captain. Will was suspended for a month and degraded from detective to officer. All that was left for the team to do now, was paperwork. Then the plan was to stop by the hospital before heading home later in the afternoon with JJ.

It was long since Emily had slept this well. The feeling of having JJ in her arms was something she had only dreamt about, but the reality was so much better than she could ever imagine. She opened her eyes and sighed happily, waking up like this was perfect. JJ started to shift in Emily's arms and it didn't take too long before the blond let out a yawn and opened her eyes. For a moment the both just lay, staring in each others eyes. So lost in her own head, Emily didn't smile back when JJ smiled the sweetest smile. When Emily didn't return the smile, JJ's mind began racing. JJ, what have you done? You asked her to hold you, not to use her as a teddy bear! Now you've freaked her out and she's trying to tell you that she doesn't want to stay with you and...

"You are very cute when you ramble like that." Emily smiled down to her. JJ looked shocked into the now smiling brown eyes.

"I talked out loud, didn't I?" Emily just kept smiling and nodded. JJ felt her cheek blush, and she hid her face in the crock of Emily's neck.

"And to answer your freak out, I don't mind being you teddy bear and of course I'll be staying with you!" JJ pulled back to look Emily in the eyes. Both set of eyes were full of love.

"Did you sleep well?" Emily asked while brushing some of JJ's hair out of her face.

"I did, thank you ms. Prentiss"

"Actually it's Agent Prentiss!"

"Oh really?"

"Yes. But I'll let it slide this time." Emily gave JJ her most charming smile. "But did you dream anything?" Emily's smile wasn't quiet as bright, she was more serious, but her eyes still sparkled.

"Mmmhmm... It was bits and pieces here and there."

"Wanna tell me 'bout them?"

"Sure. Garcia, you and me had a girls night at your place."

"How did you know it was my place?"

"I am not sure. In the dream I just knew." Emily nodded and asked her to describe it.

"Very comfy leather couch. The kitchen was separated from the living room by an island with bar stools. The kitchen cabinets are made of cherry and there is very little food in your fridge. In the living room there is a huge window with a breathtaking view of D.C.. There was a big fancy TV with surround sound and DVD-player and stuff. Your bedroom is upstairs, next to the master bathroom. There is also a guest room with it's own bath."

"Did you dream of all of those places Jay?" JJ shock her head and smiled. She loved it when Emily called her "Jay". It made her feel special and it was nice to hear something other than JJ for a change.

"We were only on your couch. But when the dream started and I was on the couch I remembered everything." The two women shared happy smiles. Both happy that the blonde kept remembering more and more, and just happy to be with each other.
