PROMPT #10 - JJ

The Saw Doctors- "Clare Island"

She always knew she wouldn't remain in this town, with its pressure, bad memories, and stifling air. What she hadn't anticipated was the relief the day she left the town for college, knowing she would never go back for anything other than a visit. She worked hard to get good grades, worked extra hard for the soccer scholarship, and got herself out. She missed her family, her friends, and occasionally even the town where everyone knew her name, but she didn't look back. Not really.

Stepping onto campus that first day, she felt liberated as if the world was in her grasp. She knew from that moment forward that things would only get better. And she never regretted it.

PROMPT #11 - JJ/Hotch

Rhett Miller- "Our Love"

Hotch stood in the back of the reception hall, alone, a drink in his hand that he was sipping slowly. He watched as the bride danced with Reid. JJ smiled as Reid stepped on her toe, the smile lighting up her whole face. She looked absolutely beautiful in her wedding dress, curls falling down her back, the full princess package, complete with tiara courtesy of Garcia. Her teardrop diamond earrings sparkled in the lights of the dance floor. The significance of the simple gold necklace she wore was known only to a few, himself included.

Across the room, he saw Rossi motion towards JJ and begin to walk towards the dance floor. Wanting his chance to dance with the bride, Hotch swiftly walked onto the dance floor and tapped Reid on the shoulder. Reid grinned politely as he relinquished his dance partner. Hotch took her right hand in his left, placing his other on her back. He pulled her in close, inhaling the sweet scent of her perfume.

"You look beautiful," Hotch told her, amused by the blush that crept up her neck and settled in her cheeks. "Your husband is a very lucky man."

JJ ducked her head. "I think I'm the lucky one. I almost let him go, you know. I was scared and I almost let him walk out of my life."

Hotch nudged her temple with his chin until she looked up at him. "He wouldn't have let you go."

"Thank you... for today, for the encouragement, for the dance, for keeping Rossi and Morgan in line." They both chuckled. "But mostly, thank you for marrying me."

Hotch leaned down and placed a gently kiss on her lips, the sound of applause erupting in their ears. "Thank you for saying yes."

PROMPT #12 - JJ/Hotch

New Found Glory- "Head On Collision"

She awoke with a gasp, sweat on her forehead, heart pounding in her chest. JJ lay a hand on the other side only to find the sheet cool. She sat up, looking around the darkened room, but found it empty. She groaned as she got out of bed.

JJ pattered down the hall to the her son's room. Sticking her head in the room, she found all calm there. She closed the door and listened for sounds in her apartment.

She heard a slight shuffling sound coming from the kitchen and headed in that direction.

She stopped suddenly just outside the kitchen when he emerged. He smiled when he saw. JJ took a deep breath before she flung her arms around him, holding her body tightly against his. She felt him tense up with worry, but couldn't release him.

"What's wrong?" Hotch asked the top of her head.

"I had a nightmare," she confessed. "I dreamt that we had a huge fight and you left in the middle of a storm and got lost. I couldn't find you. Then, I woke up and couldn't find you."

Hotch rocked her gently. "I didn't mean to scare you. I got thirsty." He pulled just far enough away to see her eyes. "I will never leave you. I won't. I love you."

JJ felt her heart swell. He had never said those words to her. "I love you, too." She nipped his ear. "What do you say we go back to bed and I show you just how much?"
