I just want to point out that the JJ isn't telling Henry the whole flashback, most of this is for your benefit. She would be telling him a lot less adult version of events.
After spending the day at the park with Pen and Henry we decided to grab some pizza and head back home. We were sitting around watching a movie when my phone went off
Hey Jennifer how are you feeling? I only just woke up and have to go into work for a few hours. Would Henry still be awake about 9 your time? I'll make sure I'll be on Skype then. Tell him I miss him too. I'm so glad your safe. Em xx
"Is that Agent Prentiss?" Pen said with a smile
"What makes you say that?" I ask curiously
"Because you've got your lovey dovey goofy smile on and you only get that when you either think of, talk to or see her" she laughed
"Oh I didnt realise, and yes it was, she'll Skype later. Looks like Henry gets to stay up past bed time"
"Was that Aunt Emmy?" Henry asked jumping on the couch
"It sure was buddy, she'll be on Skype at 9, so you have to be good ok?" I told him, knowing he'll do whatever I tell him just so he can talk to Emily
"Can you tell me some more of your story?" he asked climbing up on the couch
"Ok but first you have to go have a bath and get into your jammies ok?"
"How about a shower? Its quicker" he begged
"Alright fine" he grabbed my hand and started pulling me up off the couch "Do you mind cleaning up Pen?"
"No problem chicka dee, I'm also up for a story if you don't mind me staying. Plus I wouldn't mind saying hey to her"
"Yea thats no problem. You've heard the story before anyway" I smile and run up the stairs after Henry and 15 minutes later we come back downstairs to Pen setting up Skype on the TV
"Oh hey that was quick. I figured this way we can sit comfortably on the couch and chat away" she said putting in my password and signing in
"Thats no problem. I've been meaning to set it up like this anyway. How do you know my password?" I ask, knowing the answer that is coming
"Please I'm Penelope Garcia Oracle of All-Knowing. Plus you think working for the state department you'd think of a password better than Henry2008" she laughs
"It's just for Skype. The only people on it are my Mom and Emily. Ok well kiddo, we've got an hour before Emily will be on, ready for that story?"
"Yes Mommy" he snuggled in between myself and Garcia and waited for the story to start
"So as I was saying before the beautiful woman stayed at my house to keep me company after the bad dogs and for a few nights after she stayed as well. Now on Monday morning I went to go see your Aunt Pen to see what she thought. Of course she wasn't surprised and would keep telling me to tell the woman how I felt but.."
"But your Mom was too scared. So the next week when we had a girls night I decided to play a bit of match making" she smiled at the memory
**Flashback**
"Hey my bad ass FBI beauties, who's ready for truth or dare?" Garcia said sitting down on the floor around my coffee table
"Truth or Dare? What are we 12?" Emily laughed
"Fine, what about I've Never?" she suggested and I gave her a look, she's up to something but I wasn't completely sure of what yet.
"Alright I guess we could play that and since you thought of playing you're up first" I pour out our shot glasses and wait for Pen to start
"Alright.. Never have I ever done a nudie run" she says and waits for our response, I immediatley pick up my shot and to my surprise so does Emily and down them "OMG spill"
"It wasn't so much of a nudie run then left my clothes and towel in my room one night and had to do a nudie run across the dorm floor after my shower. Lucky for me I left my room unlocked" Emily laughed "Now you're turn Agent Jareau"
"Um was 20 at college, our soccer team had won the championships and we had a party to celebrate. A lot of alcohol later and a game of Truth or Dare turned me into nudie running the soccer field at 3am" I laughed and got the next lot of shots ready "Ok Ems your turn"
"Ok, Never have I ever... Hmm you know for a rebel child of an Ambassador this is actually a pretty hard game. I think I'll have to go with something lame so Never have I ever had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich." she said and me and Pen could only just stare at her
"Thats seriously it? Ok 2 things, how on Earth have you never had a PB&J sandwich and that's seriously the only thing you haven't done? How wild did you get?" Pen laughs and I smile but really thinking about all the things a young Emily Prentiss got up to
"Um 1 Ambassadors daughters only eat 5 star meals, even for snacks. No matter how much I wanted one the chefs wouldn't make it for me and as I got older the urge to have one went away. And 2 when you are 16-18, have a world of hate towards your parents, diplomatic immunity and lots of alcohol you kind of run out of things for Never Ever" she laughs and takes a shot herself, mainly because I think it was too much for her to tell us
"Well thats a dumb one, but we'll use it for now, your next one better be better" Pen laughed as me and her took a shot
"Ok, my turn Never have I ever... gone commando at work, any work not just the BAU" I laughed and looked over to Pen, knowing full well she had
"I hate you sometimes" she said taking her shot
"Hey don't hate the player, hate the game" I laughed doing my best Derek Morgan then turned to Emily who was picking up her shot glass "Oh really Agent Prentiss? Care to explain?"
"Nope, just know that I did and i'm not saying when or where" she winked and downed the shot.
After playing the game a bit longer and learning a few more things about my two best friends, Pen finally said the one that I knew she was waiting to ask all night but needed us a bit drunker
"Never have I ever slept with a girl" she said looking over to me and I immediately downed the shot then turned to Emily who was staring at me with a blank look, knowing her walls were up but something was going on behind them, I was about to explain when she quickly took her shot and stared at her glass for a while.
"Well I must go to the bathroom" Pen said quickly jumping up and running off leaving Emily and I sitting in silence
"So, I think I should explain" I started only to be cut off by her
"It's ok Jay, what's college without a bit of experimenting" she laughed
"Well it's not just a college thing. I'm bi." I say, letting the cat out of the bag
"That's cool. Same actually." she said still looking into her glass
"Really?" I ask, thinking I might actually have a chance now
"Yep" just then Garcia come bounding back into the room
"So what did I miss?" she asked
"Not much" Emily quickly replied which made me wonder why she shut it down pretty quick. I know she is a private person but we are all friends here, guessing she just didn't want Penelope to know, she is the office gossip
"Ok. Well I think I might head off anyway, it's getting late, I'll see you lovely ladies either over the weekend sometime or Monday" she quickly gave us a kiss and hug then before we knew it she was out the door.
"Well that was weird" I laugh and get up and walk into the kitchen "Do you want a coffee or something?"
"Um.. Coffee would be good thanks" she said following me into the kitchen
"Hey are things ok between us?" I ask feeling the tension in the room
"Yea of course. Why wouldn't they be?" she smiled but it didn't reach her eyes
"Probably because the moment we both said we were bi there's been an awkward tension hanging around the room"
"Oh nah I don't know. It doesn't bother me"
"Then what's going on? I know you Em and you've been off in some other world all night" I said placing her coffee in front of her
"Look Jayje there's nothing wrong. Thanks for the coffee but I think I might go." She said turning away and I had just enough time to place my coffee on the counter and run after her before she got to the door
"Wait Em" I grabbed her hand "What the hell is going-" before I could finish she had turned around, pushed me against the wall and started kissing me. I stood stunned for a brief second before kissing her back with all the love that I have had inside me for the last few months. Before I could do anything more she pulled away
"I..I can't do this" she stuttered moving back
"What why?" I more begged then asked
"Because.. I have a girlfriend" she yelled before grabbing her jacket and running out the door
**End Flashback**
I sat in silence remembering how much my heart broke that night and Pen stared at me knowing what I was thinking of
"What happened after the lady left Mommy?" Henry asked surprising me because I had half forgotten about his presence
"A lot more does honey, but I think you have enough time to go get a glass of milk before Aunty Emmy gets on Skype" he jumps up off the couch and runs into the kitchen
"How you doing Suga Plum?" Garcia asked moving closer to me
"I'm alright, the story gets better. Plus I hope that there is some way I can get her back. I know she still loves me. She wouldn't've come all this way to save me if she didn't. I know her, I know I've still got a chance and I'm not stopping till I get it" I said and just then the noise from an incoming Skype call and Garcia pressed accept and just then the woman that I love filled my tv screen
"Hey" I said casually
"Aunty Emmy!" Henry came running into the room spilling his milk everywhere "Mommy Aunty Penny can I have a moment to talk to Aunty Emmy alone please." He said in such a grown up voice that we had no choice but to leave.
"Alright Henry, but we wanna talk to Aunty Emmy too. So don't talk for too long ok?" I said to him and looked up at Em who was just smiling away "we'll be in the kitchen"
"No worries Jayje, I'll get Henry to come get you once we are done." She smiled back and we turned and walked into the kitchen, both curious about what he wanted to talk to her about.
Henry's chat with Emily is in the next chapter. Let me know what you think about the story so far.
