Expect the Unexpected - Jemily

7 - I Love You

After JJ and Emily did a scene together things become more relaxed. It was almost as if JJ had been able to use it as a method to get past some of her trauma. Jj seemed to have less nightmares and when Emily had asked her about it she said it was because she could now see that there could have been a different outcome during her experience with Will. Not every experience with sex is bad and Emily had been able to prove that to JJ.

Emily and JJ spent a lot of time on Emily's bed when they weren't working. They liked to cuddle a lot and watch movies. Emily never had time to do that as a child and she found that it was something she enjoyed doing as an adult, especially with her girlfriend. They could use it as a way to relax or to simply spend time together.

They'd been lucky to have a few days off after solving their last case. Hotch told them all that they needed to rest but as usual, their break was cut short by another serial killer. While it was their job, it didn't mean they enjoyed the early wake up calls or interrupted time off with their family.

When they entered the bullpen, there were people everywhere. JJ was thrown off at first. She wasn't used to there being so many people in her space. Where she usually squeezed past the desks to pass files to Spencer, there were men and she had to take a moment to take in her surroundings. Being the angel that she was, Emily stayed with her the whole and rested her hand on JJ's lower back for a little support.

With a deep breath, JJ plastered her media liaison smile on her face and pushed the doors of the bullpen open. Emily followed closely behind her and Hotch approached them. He sent Emily into the conference room to speak to the rest of the team so they could update her on the details of the profile they currently had. JJ went with Hotch into her office so they could discuss the details of the press conference JJ was going to deliver in less than half an hour.

The case was over fairly quickly, it was an abduction case fairly close to Quantico which was being used as a base. They had been able to track the unsub down fairly quickly and from there they could find their victims, a few teenage girls who'd been kidnapped from a park in the middle of the afternoon.

By the time they'd all started their paperwork, it was getting late. Emily glanced at the clock briefly and noticed that it was almost 10pm. She signed the last page of her file and dropped it off in Hotch's office. She glanced around at everyone else and noticed Spencer sneaking one of JJ's files to complete. JJ was still overwhelmed with the amount of files she had and any help she had would reduce her work load the smallest bit.

Emily went into the kitchen to make JJ a hot chocolate. It was getting late and she knew that if she gave her girlfriend coffee, there was no way she could sleep tonight. The mug of hot chocolate seemed like the next best option.

She placed the mug in front of JJ who looked up at her and smiled appreciatively. Emily kissed JJ's forehead softly and when JJ's head was turned she stole one of her files so they could get home a little earlier.

It didn't take Emily long to sign off on the file and she watched her girlfriend who had her head down and was concentrating on the file she was looking at. Emily didn't think she could be more beautiful if she tried. The crease on her forehead from where she was concentrating and the small frown lines at the corner of her mouth or the way her fingers deftly picked up a sheet of paper while she looked for other information. It made Emily fall even more in love with JJ.

She walked past JJ to get to Hotch's shoulder and she squeezed JJ's shoulder as encouragement when she passed by. She chatted with Hotch for a few minutes and when she came back JJ was still deep in the case file. Emily could see how tired and stressed she was but she knew there was no chance JJ would take a break. She looked at JJ's pile of files and saw she only had 3 left. She handed one to Spencer who had his hand held out and she picked another up for herself.
