PROMPT #116 – PRENTISS/ROSSI/STRAUSS – FOLLOW-UP TO #112

"Don't Look Away" - Joshua Radin

She hated that she needed this, needed them. What started out as a weekend to blow off steam, turned into a lifeline, her reason for getting up in the morning some days. It scared her; more than anything had in her life. She had lived through beatings, shootings, and even her own death, but the relationship between herself and this man and this woman terrified her.

Granted, it was an unusual situation, though not completely unheard of. Somewhere over the last few months, she had fallen in love with both David Rossi and Erin Strauss. Her heart beat a little faster whenever she thought of either of them and it nearly came out of her chest when she thought of them both. Still, she longed for a normal life; for children and a picket fence.

So, when she met them at the airport this last time, she told them she was through; that she would be returning to England and would remain there. They tried to plead with her to change her mind, but she stood firm. This weekend would be her last.

"Stay," Rossi whispered in her ear as he said good-bye at the airport. "Stay and I'll give you the family that you want."

"You love her," Emily replied, glancing back where Strauss was standing.

Rossi smiled. "I love you, too. Erin will understand. She already has a family."

Emily paused, thinking it over. She could do it. She could settled down with Rossi and raise a family. She loved him... but she loved Strauss, too. "No, Dave. I love you, but I love her, too. She doesn't deserve to be cast aside because I want a 'normal' life."

"Normal?" Rossi scoffed. "What's normal, anyway? Look at Henry. He has two men that he calls 'Dad'. Do you think he's not normal?"

"No, but-"

"No buts, Emily," Rossi cut her off. "Do this because you feel it's the right thing to do, but don't do it because of a narrow definition of normal. Have a safe trip and know that we're here for you if you change your mind."

Emily nodded before walking away. She was quiet the entire way back to England. By the time the plane touched down, she had made up her mind. She remained only long enough to turn in her resignation and pack up her things before returning to the two people that loved her most in the world.

Ten months later, they welcomed Katerina into their family. Two years later, she was joined by her baby brother, Vincenzo. And they were two of the most loved children ever, but especially by their father and two mothers.

PROMPT #117 – JJ/HOTCH

"Heartbeat" - Steps

Hotch fell in love with her the moment he laid eyes on her. With her blond hair and bright, blue eyes, he was head over heels gone. The first time she opened her mouth and her melodious tone emerged, he knew no other girl could ever compare. There would be nothing that he wouldn't do for her; nothing that he wouldn't get for her; nothing that-

"Aaron!" JJ said, sharply, drawing him from his thoughts.

"Yeah?"

JJ bit back laughter. "You have to let her go."

Hotch's eyes widened. "Why?"

"Because they need to take her to the nursery," she replied in a calming voice. "Don't worry. They'll bring her back soon."

"But-"

"Besides, you've been hogging our daughter for the last few hours and I want to hold her, too," JJ continued.

Hotch sighed, placing the baby into JJ's arms. "I guess I can give her up to you."

PROMPT #118 – JJ/HOTCH

"Runaway" - The Corrs

"JJ!" Hotch yelled, pounding on her hotel door at four in the morning.

"What?" JJ shouted back, flinging the door open. She took one look at her boss and nearly burst out laughing. "Hotch, are you drunk?"

He blinked. "Maybe a little."

JJ tucked her robe closer around herself. "Who took you out drinking?"

Hotch glanced off to the side before looking back at her. "I don't think that matters."

"So, why are you here? Beating down my door in the middle of the night?" she asked.

"I want you to marry me," he replied, earnestly.

JJ froze, her jaw dropping. "You- I- What?"

Hotch put his hands on her shoulders, rubbing them slightly. "I want you to marry. Wait. I should probably ask that. JJ, will you marry me?"

"I'm still married," JJ answered, automatically.

"No, you're not," Hotch protested, shaking his head. "Your divorce was finalized three weeks ago. Garcia told us."

"Hotch," she said, calmly, deciding to kill Garcia another day, "don't you think you should ask me out on a date first?"

Hotch scrunched up his face, thinking for a moment. "No. What could we possibly learn on a date that we don't already know about each other?" He pulled her closer. "Come on, JJ. We're in Vegas. We're in love. Let's throw caution to the wind and get married!"

JJ pinched her nose. "We're in love?"

"Yes. At least, I am. With you." His eyes glazed over. "I'm pretty sure that you're in love with me. Dave's pretty sure."

"We're pretty sure, too," Morgan added. JJ stuck her head into the hallway to see Morgan, Reid, and Blake all standing against their hotel doors. Rossi was standing in the middle of the hallway laughing.

Reid yawned. "So, do you think you could decide to marry him so the rest of us can get back to sleep?"

JJ bit her bottom lip as she turned back to Hotch, who was grinning sloppily at her. "Tell you what. You get some sleep and if you still feel the same way tomorrow, we'll get married before it's time to leave for the plane."

"Deal," Hotch agreed. He waved to the others. "Night, everyone. See you in the morning for my wedding." Hotch pushed JJ into the room before slamming the door with his foot.

"And that's how Hotch proposed to JJ," Morgan told Garcia.

She pouted. "I can't believe I missed it! I can't believe they actually got married!"

He tucked her in close to his side. "Me neither, but it does give me an idea. How would you like to go to Vegas on vacation?"
