Chapter 52:

One hour and 55 minutes after Garcia drove away there was a knock on the door. JJ had just finished the final touches on her make-up and went downstairs to open the door, expecting her date to be standing on the other side.

"Hi, Em. I've..."

Her sentence was cut short when she saw an unfamiliar man standing on her front porch with a hand clenching something behind his back.

9 hours earlier

Emily stood anxiously and waited.

"Emily! It's good to see you again!" A man around Emily's age smiled widely when he saw who was standing and waiting for him. "It's been too long, how are you?" The two of them shared a hug.

"So, I need a favor."

"No! Whatever you want, the answer is no!"

"Timmy, come on! You haven't even heard what I'm gonna ask you!"

"That's because I KNOW you Emily." Tim smiled and rolled his eyes. "You're here to ask me to cook up something fantastic for you to bring to your date, who you really don't want to date, because you're in love with AJ. Or whatever her name is."

"Wow Tim! You got me. Yes, that's exactly what I was planing! How did you know? You know what? We should change jobs, I'll run the restaurant and you can have my position at the BAU." Emily's voice dripping with sarcasm as she rolled her eyes.

"Sarcastic much?" Tim smirked and nudged Emily with his hip. The two of them locked eyes and started to laugh.

"A lot has changed since I last saw you." Emily was serious, but kept smiling.

"Emily Prentiss!"

"What?"

"Spill! NOW!"

"You were right, I have a date tonight."

"I knew it!" The man pumped his fist in the air and looked smug.

"But you were also very wrong. You see, tonight I have a date with my girlfriend."

"I'm still right, but go on."

"I've been with JJ for a little over a month now." Tim's mouth fell open. Emily chuckled. "Hello? Tim?" She waved her hand in front of his eyes a couple of times before her friend blinked and locked eyes with her.

"You better not be shitting me, Prentiss!" Emily just smiled and pulled out her BlackBerry. She looked through her messages before she found the one she was looking for.

"Hi baby,

You just went downstairs to make breakfast, but I already miss you! Come back soon!

I love you so much!"

Tim's smile grew as he read the message.

"Emily, this is great!"

"Yeah. So can you help me, Timmy?" He laughed and rolled his eyes again.

"What do you need, Emily?"

"Ms. Jareau?" The man pulled his hand from around his back and JJ froze. When she didn't answer his movements stopped and he looked questioning at her.

Who is this guy! Where are you Emily! Okay JJ, stay calm. JJ tried to breath calmly. She slowly nodded her head.

As soon as she confirmed that she was the one he was looking for the hand behind his back started to move again. The glowed hand came from behind his back and he held out a note.

"Ms. Prentiss asked me to give you this."

"Oh," unable to say anything else she takes the note from him and un folds the paper.

"My darling,

James is here to take you to our date. I know you'll try to make him tell you where we're going, but no use, he's already sworn not to.

I hope you had a great day with Garcia, and I can't wait to see you.

Your Em x"

"Are you ready to leave, ms. Jareau?"

Releasing a breath she didn't realized she held, JJ smiled and nodded.

"My, oh my! What do we have here? A nervous Emily Prentiss?" Tim's voice reached Emily as she nervously paced on the sidewalk. She didn't response to his comment, just started to fiddle with her hands.

"Hey Emily!" He grabbed her shoulders and stopped her movement. "Calm down okay? This is JJ, okay? Not some random girl you've just picked up. This is the woman you've been in love with for years, who is your best friend! She has seen you at your worst, she knows you."

She had frozen when he had grabbed her and was processing his words. Even though she looked nervous she nodded and smiled a little. Tim smiled back and pulled her into a hug.

"It'll be alright. Everything is ready for you." He squeezed her shoulders. "I'll be right inside waiting for you, ready to be, as you nicely put it, 'the best host in history'." He chuckled and went inside, leaving Emily alone with her pacing and thoughts.

Not long after Tim disappeared inside, a black car came down the street and stopped in front of the entrance. Emily turned around so she was facing away from the car and listened to James exit the car and open the door for JJ.

"Here we are, ms. Jareau."

"Thank you, James." The brunette smiled as she heard the most beautiful voice in the world.

JJ looked out through the window and tok in her surroundings. The door opened and James helped her out.

"Here we are, ms. Jareau." He smiled and closed the door behind her.

"Thank you, James." Once the blonde had read the note, she had relaxed in James' company. The two of them had chatted politely through the ride, witch had helped JJ to calm her nerves.

James smiled at her once more and tipped his hat, before he sat back in the car and drove away. When James had turned a corner, JJ started to look around her. Her gaze fell immediately at a figure standing in front of the entrance. She would recognize that woman anywhere in the world.

As if Emily could see JJ looking at her, she turned around with a huge smile. JJ smiled back and moved quickly to Emily and embraced the older woman. Emily chuckled when JJ almost threw herself into her arms.

"Hi baby," The blonde cupped Emily's face before pulling the brunette's face to her own and kissed her. Emily welcomed the kiss and hummed. When they broke apart they were both lost in each others eyes.

"Hi Jennifer," Emily lifted one of her hands and traced JJ's cheekbone.

A/N: Did you really think I was gonna screw up their first date? I'm not THAT evil...

So, question: what is JJ's favorite song? And why?

Thanks for all the feedback, you are the best!:D
