The Bet

The Bet: Chapter 1

Emily's POV

I was sitting around the table with Morgan and Reid after a long case. Hotch gave us sometime off so we all decide to stay in Vegas for a day or two. We just had a case that was hard on all of us. It was harder on me because I fit the UNSUB's victimology. I would have been dead if it wasn't for the team and JJ. I took another shot of Jack Daniels. It burned going down.

"Emily, you should slow down."

I looked over at Reid then at Morgan. I took another shot glass. As I raise it, I smile at them then take the shot. I slammed the glass down on the table.

"Nope I don't think so. I need this after the day I had. I also need her."

"Her?" Morgan asked in bewilderment.

I didn't realize I just said that. The guys were waiting for me to explain. See when I get to the point where I know that am sloshed, I let my defensive walls down and open my mouth.

"Forget about it, Morgan."

"No Emily. What do you mean her?"

"Can you forget it? It has nothing to do with you or Reid."

"If it involves you, then it has everything to do with me and Reid."

"It's my fault that I fell for her on the first day at the BAU."

I lay my head down on the table; I close my eyes to remember that day.

Flashback-Emily's POV

As I stood in SSA Hotchner's office explaining to him about my transfer, he actually looked really confused about this situation I put him in. There was a knock on the door. I turned around. Standing in the doorway was the blonde, blue eyed woman of my heart with files in her hand.

"Hotch we need you in the conference room."

"I'll be there in a second."

As the women was about to leave she looked at me with a smile, that took my breath away. I really hope that Hotch and I can fix this problem so I can get to know that beautiful woman.

End of Flashback

I open my eyes, as I lift my head the boys were looking at me if I had turned into Cyclops. I can tell they want more information on this topic that I started. I never told anyone that am gay and here I am telling two men I work with that am in love with a woman on our team.

"Emily, we are here for you. We know that you're in love with JJ."

I looked over at Reid who had a smirk on his face.

"How?"

"It's the way you look at her, when she speaks your attention is always on her no matter what she is talking about."

"And when she walks in a room your eyes follow her and she is the only one there. No one else matters when you're around JJ."

The two men that I grew to love like brothers explain to me that it wasn't hard to figure out that I got it bad. If those two know maybe she does too, I started to panic like hell. I guess the boys could tell.

"Emily, JJ doesn't know because she isn't good at profiling like we are."

"Yeah, well I have no idea what to do."

"You'll think of something," Morgan offered.

"Did you see the hurt in her eyes, when I pushed her away after she found me?"

"Emily, she doesn't blame you. She knows that you're upset."

"Yeah. And here I am down here getting drunk as hell, while JJ probably is pissed off at me when I didn't want to hangout with her."

"No she isn't. She is probably really hurt; she wanted to be there for you."

"Yeah, and I pushed her away."

"Emily, I will make a bet with you"

"What kind of bet?"

"I bet you that you need to tell JJ how you feel"

"What no I won't do that"

"Yes you will. If you do this bet, Reid and I will give you all our vacation time"

"What!"

"Shut up Reid"

"If I do this, what is it in for you guys?"

"The satisfaction of you being happy"

"Yeah right Morgan. Well really what do you want?"

"Emily, you're like a sister to me so, I know what's it like to love someone and be scared to tell them but you never know if it will turn out either way in the end."

I saw the serious in Morgan's eyes when he gave his speech. I knew Morgan was hiding something. Reid had a huge smile on his face.

"He is right Emily. In the long run everything will turn out to be perfect."

I sat there looking at my co-workers wondering what was going on with these two. Reid was sitting there smiling, Morgan was staring at Reid.

"What is with you two?"

"Reid and I are together"

My mouth dropped open in surprise. I couldn't believe my ears: Morgan and Reid were a couple! No wondering they both seem to be happy.

''How long"?

"I had always found Morgan to be handsome, but I never thought Morgan would feel the same. But after Tobias Hankel and trying to get clean... Morgan came one day to my house and confronted me, I told him that it helps me forget him."

"That's when I knew that I should let Reid in on the secret. From the moment he started working on the team, my heart was always his, so I ask him to be with me."

Morgan leaned over and kissed Reid on the lips. Seeing those two as happy made me think there was a chance for me. Well if I took this bet, it could go two ways: First, that JJ feels the same, but the second could be that I ruin the best friendship that I ever had. Well what are risks if you don't take them?

"Okay I will take the bet you have given me."

Morgan and Reid smiled, knowing that their plan worked. Emily took one last shot of Jack and tried to figure out a method of attack so the plan would work.
