Im sorry, I screwed up

Sixteen

They sat on Emily's chair in total shock of what happened. Emily couldn't look at JJ so she stared at the wall. "Em. I'm sorry. I should have talked to you."

The tone of JJ's voice made Emily look at her and push her blonde hair back. "I can't lose you. Not again. I spent four years without you here, I can't handle it again."

Emily wiped a tear from JJ's face and put her head on top of JJ's. "I know. It isn't over. We aren't over." She whispered.

"Can we look into it? There has to be an HR handbook somewhere." JJ asked. Emily nodded and they started.

After what felt like hours JJ went home. Emily tried to look through every book she had. Rossi stopped in on his way out and saw her on the floor in a pile of books.

"We'll goodnight Dr. Reid." He joked. Emily rolled her eyes and looked back at the books. "Ha ha."

"So I saw madam secretary was here. Does this have anything to do with you and JJ?" Rossi asked. Emily's eyes got wide and she shook her head.

"You're fine kid. But when I was with Erin, the only thing we needed was a signature from anyone with a higher level."

"So I just need Cruz to sign off in it. And we're good." She smiled. She immediately texted JJ and they planned a meeting with Cruz the next day.

JJ picked up Emily and they met him at a diner. "Matt." JJ smiled. They hugged and sat down. "So we just need your signature." JJ said.

"To date? Of course." He laughed. When Emily asked how he laughed more. "When we were kidnapped JJ talked in her sleep. Always talking about Emily." He smiled.

JJ blushed and the three of them filed the paperwork. The group split and the couple went to work.

"We would like to tell everyone something!" Emily yelled. The bullpen all looked at her.

"We're officially dating."
