I Want More

Call It Off

"Will?" I said into the phone. "JJ I can't do this. I can't do this to you. You deserve to be with someone you can be in love with. I'm sorry." I looked at Emily, crying on the couch.

"What?" I asked. "You love Emily. And you deserve to live with her and grow old and everything you never wanted with me. I can't be the reason you aren't getting that."

"Will I don't know what to say." I wanted to thank him but that felt rude. "Don't say anything. I'll take Henry for the night so you can get the girl." I cried when he hung up.

This was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. I sat across from Emily, not knowing what to do. She didn't look at me or say a word.

"Will called off the wedding." I stated. Her head snapped up and she stared at me. "He said I never really loved him. That there was always someone else."

He didn't say those exact words but I needed Emily to feel something. "So are you still leaving?" I asked, annoyed. I wanted to yell at her. Something. But she stayed silent.

"Since I don't know if you're aware of everything  that just happened, let me explain it all. While preparing for my wedding, I found the girl I have loved for the past 6 years running away from me."

"When I stopped her, she tells me she loves me and wants me to run away with her. When I said yes, she then tells me that she's moving across the planet and I get my heart broken."

"Then my fiancé calls and calls off the wedding because he knows that I love this girl. And now that I finally have the chance to have her, she won't talk to me."

I waited for her to say something but she didn't say a word. "So you have me. Now what are you gonna do?" I asked. Slowly she stood up and pulled me up.

She wrapped her arms around my waist and kissed me. I clung onto her and relaxed in her arms. This was everything I wanted. We kissed for a moment before I pulled away.

"Are you still leaving?" I didn't want the answer. She smiled and shook her head. "I'm not going anywhere. Not that I have all of you." I hugged her tight and cried.

"I'm sorry for the rollercoaster I just put you on. I am staying here. I'm staying for you. I want to stay with you." Emily brushed the hair out of my face and held onto me.

"I have to go find Hotch. I already quit so I have to fix some things. Why don't you go find Will?" I nodded and followed her back to the backyard. People were talking things down, led by Penelope.

"Oh JJ I'm so sorry." She whispered when she saw me. "Pen I'm okay. It is a good thing. It is bad now but it's for the better." I smiled. She still hugged me and she already knew Will felt the same.

When she saw my face, she explained more. "When he told me to take things down he said the exact same thing. He's okay." She nodded. "He is perfect." I smiled.

She agreed and went back to bossing people around. I saw Henry and Will go towards a door and I ran to them. He smiled when he saw me and I hugged him.

"Thank you so much. I can never repay you." I cried. He shook his head. "No need. We are amazing parents and friends, but we both know we weren't a good couple. You loved someone else and so did I."

I tilted my head as Henry grabbed onto my leg. "A friend. For now." I knew who he was taking about. There was an officer at his station that I always felt had a crush on him.

"Is it Farrah?" I teased, playing with Henry's hair. He blushed a little and I laughed. "I knew it. You two would be perfect together." I picked up Henry and Will smiled.

"We both deserve the happiness." I nodded. "I do love you." I said. It was true and I think it will always be. They went out the door and I found Emily talking to Hotch.

While they talked, I went to change, no need for the wedding dress anymore. Emily met me in the bedroom and I held her hand. "Ready?" She asked. I nodded and followed her out the door.
