When I woke up Emily was gone and Jj was watching a movie. I made myself breakfast and joined her on the couch.
"How'd you sleep?" I asked.
"Fine. Emily left this morning to work. I think she made Hotch give me a day off."
"Well good. You need one. Do they have a case?"
"Yeah but Emily didn't tell me about it. I just know it's here."
"Again, good. Did you tell her?" I said hitting her side. She acted confused and I rolled my eyes.

"Did you tell Emily you love her? It is obvious to everyone except you two. It's very painful to watch."

"Well. It just wasn't a good time." She said. I dropped my plate and looked at her.

"You are clueless. Emily picked you up when you needed her, she literally sat by you when she cried and you cuddled in the same bed."
"You saw that?"
"The door was open. Now are you dumb?" I said. She took a deep breath and put her head in her hands.

"Emily just does that. I'm not special." She sighed. Without saying anything, I pulled her up and put the door. She kept asking what was happening but I ignored her.

I shoved her in the passenger seat and drove her to the BAU. "Sof what is happening?" She said.

I parked, pulled her out and stood on the elevator. "If Emily doesn't love you then she won't have a problem with you being here. If I'm right, she will tell you to leave, make Hotch send you home and she may try to drive you home." I stated.

She tried fighting but I ignored her. "She's just a caring friend. But if this gets you off my back than fine." She sighed.

We stepped off the elevator and I led her to the bullpen. Emily looked up and her mouth fell open. I stood behind JJ as she ran over.

"What are you doing here? You have the day off." She said.
"I'm fine and I thought I should come in."
"Jen are you sure? You should really be at home. A lot happened yesterday."
"Not really. It's nothing I couldn't handle. I'm fine." She smiled.
"Jay I can drive you, are you positive?"
"Totally. I'm fine." Emily nodded and walked back to her desk. "Told you." I whispered as I walked to Penelope's office.

"Garcia, does Emily like JJ?" I stated as I walked in. Without turning around she simply said, "Oh like 1000% definitely. But don't tell blondie." JJ coughed and she slowly turned around.

"Oh no. Don't tell Emily. I wasn't supposed to know or tell and now I did. Oh no."
"It's fine blondie loves her too." I stated.
"Oh thank goodness. I had a feeling but I wasn't sure but oh that makes things so much easier. Now I can finally stop booking separate rooms when you two always end up together anyways."
"Penelope!" JJ yelled and we both started laughing.

"Hey Pen." Emily said walking in. She saw us and stopped. "Oh. I can come back."
"No." JJ said. "I mean you can stay." Bad coverup.
"I just wondered if you could look up more about this guy. Hotch thinks this might be a lead." She said passing over a file.

"Ian? What kind of name is that?" Pen groaned.
"It's protastant." Emily stated. "I think."
We all looked at her and she shrugged. "Oh and I talked to that girls parents and explained that Will was insane and the weed thing never happened."

JJ hit her and shushed her. "Wait Alyssa? What happened?" I said. Emily froze and nobody answered.

"Jennifer what happened?" I said almost crying.
"We planned a dinner date between you too. The word of an FBI agent makes it seem very true." She smiled.

"Thank you. I don't know how to thank you." I said. "Well it's only fair." She smiled. We talked more about it before Emily went back to work. I drove JJ home, I won't let her work, and started to get ready.

"You okay?" JJ asked when a sat in the kitchen.
"I am just happy to see her again. I've missed her."
"If I lost Emily I don't know if I could handle it." She smiled.
"Thank you. I am eternally grateful." She gave me one left hug before pushing me out the door.

I sat at the table and waited. They gave me a table in the back and I kept looking at the door. Finally I saw her.

She sat at the table and I couldn't talk. "Hi." She whispered.
"Hi."
"I've missed you." She smiled. I cried a little and took a breath.
"Me too. I'm so sorry about Will. He's insane and crazy and I didn't know what to do."
"I'm ok. And now we're here. We're together."
"I love you."
"I love you too.

We ordered our drinks and I couldn't take my eyes off her. "So what happens now? We don't have the apartment and I live here and I don't know if I can leave."

"I don't know. What if we find an apartment here? We could have our life back. I have nothing holding me back and I love you more than anything. Can we go back to how we were?" She asked.

"Yes."
"Really?"
"Please yes."
