Chapter 69:
Emily looks down at the beautiful blonde in her arms. She pulls JJ closer and inhales the special sent that is uniquely JJ.
JJ buries her head in the crock of Emily's neck. JJ never feels more safe than when she's in Emily's arms.
They pull back slightly and their gazes meet.
"We need to talk..."
Jennifer Jareau doen't get nervous. She can stand in front of hundreds of reporters and calmly answers exactly what she wants to. She can stand face to face with a suspect, with her gun drawn, and shoot a perfect shot. She can drive her car 80 mph and be 100 % in control.
But right now, standing in front of the woman she so badly wants to spend the rest of her life with, asking her to move in with her, she's scared to death.
"So, uhm, what did you want to talk about?" Emily smiles nervously at the woman she's so deeply in love with.
"Well, I, uhm..." JJ nervously shifts her gaze around while trying to pull away from the brunette.
"Hey, hey, hey! Jay, baby, it's me! You can tell me anything and everything." Emily says gently while lifting the blonde's chin up. The brunette's fingers fly over the young media liaison's soft cheek before the profiler pulls her girlfriend close and kiss her.
"Whatever's on your mind, we'll figure it out together! Alright?" The brunette stares deeply into her lovers beautiful blue eyes.
"Aaaww... Look at that!" Garcia smiles excitedly at Morgan. The two of them have moved away to observe the couple. "It's good to see them so happy together."
"Yeah," Morgan flashes his white teeth and gives Garcia a dazzling Morgan-smile. "I've never seen Princess so open and carefree."
He spins Garcia and smiles down at her. The blonde gives him a a huge smiles and giggles at his silliness.
Emily Prentiss isn't afraid. She hunts down serial killers and rapists on a daily basis. She chases murders into dark alleys, and puts herself, with no hesitation, between a victim and a suspect. She jumps into a fight, fist first, and isn't afraid to get beaten up.
But right this moment, standing in front of her girlfriend, the one she wants to marry and live happily ever after with, the one who's said "we need to talk" and then froze, she's scared.
The brunette profiler knows her girlfriend, so she puts on her best "Ambassador's daughter"-face and masks her emotions and fears.
"I'm really glad I got this job in D.C." Eva inhaled some of her boyfriend's unique scent.
"Me too." Reid pulled away to gaze into the young doctor's eyes. "I'm glad you're getting along with everyone. But considering you've been both JJ and Emily's doctor, I'm not surprised." He leaned slightly forward and pressed a soft kiss to her cheek.
"They're a good pair, Emily and JJ, I mean." Reid turns his head and follow his girlfriend's gaze over to where the couple are dancing slowly, like they're lost in their own world.
"Yeah," Reid looks down at his girlfriend and smiles.
"It's just that..." JJ takes a deep breath and closes her eyes briefly, "I love you Emily, so much! And I was wondering if you wanted to move in with me?" Too scared to see or hear the reaction form the other woman, JJ looks down.
"Did JJ just ask me what I think she asked me?" The profilers heart beats hard and fast in her chest. Before she knows it her face turns into a huge smile.
"JJ, look at me please." The brunette speaks softly to her nervous girlfriend. "Please Jennifer. I need to see you beautiful eyes when I tell you that there is nothing in the world I'd rather do than move in with you."
The blonde's head shoots up. Blue eyes meets sparkling brown once. Matching smiles spreads at to equally happy and excited faces.
"Really?" The word is barely heard over the music.
"Ask me again!"
"Emily, will you move in with me?" This time there's no hesitation in the voice. Only joy and excitement.
"Yes, Jennifer! There is nothing I'd rather do!"
The blonde squeals before Emily lifts her girlfriend up into the air and spins her while furiously kissing her.
Around them on the dance floor their friends form a crowd. Morgan quickly starts cheering and wolf whistling, soon followed by Garcia. After some more spinning and kissing the couple breaks apart, both of them still wearing huge smiles on their faces.
"She said yes!" JJ exclaims and Garcia lets out a high pitch squeal and Morgan hugs Emily.
"Drinks on Princess! She and JJ are FINALY moving in together!" Morgan exclaims happily with his arm around the female profiler.
A new round a cheers comes from the gang, as they move from the dance floor back to an empty booth.
"Why do I need to by you drinks?" Emily asks slightly confused, but amused.
"You see Princess, if my greek God of chocolate over here and myself didn't interfere, the two of you would never be moving in together. And Reid over here brought in his super-awesome girlfriend who has saved both of your lives. And bossman is you boss, and well Rossi, is Rossi. So yeah, you owe us drinks!"
"Technically..."
"Boy genius! If you want a free drink, I would shut up now!" Morgan interrupts Reid before the young doctor can finish his sentence.
Emily sighs and looks around at her colleagues and friends.
"Fine! ONE drink!" She rolls her eyes as Morgan and Garcia high-fives and cheers loudly. But then again, this is her crazy family, whom she loves.
She turns to her girlfriend, who is smiling widely at their friends silliness.
"After that drink, you and me are going home!"
