This is a long chapter because A. It may be where I end it, or B. I'm going to need some time to formulate what I'm doing next.

Thank you all again for reading and the lovely reviews.

Thanks to Tazlvr2001, my wonderful beta.

-Here's a fun fact...apparently, because I like saying the word "shit" so much, I've made it so the girls like saying it too. You may have caught on to that already! Haha -sorry!

It had been a week, and the team was just coming back from another case. It was a bad one, they all were bad ones. This case barely left any time for the girls to grab a bite to eat, let alone talk about feelings. Luckily, things weren't awkward between them. They could still make eye contact. There were little touches of comfort and friendly words exchanged.

The only thing that was different was how they felt about the eye contact, touches, and words. JJ would get the chills when Emily touched her. Emily would stare a little too deeply into JJ's eyes. And both girls blushed when they talked. It was all harmless and didn't interfere with their work, but there was definitely a change.

It was Thursday night, and the team had just gotten back that morning. It was late, and everyone had gone home, except for Hotch and his team. Not surprising to anyone, they were still in their offices or out in the bullpen doing reports and finishing up so their case could be put to rest.

Emily was in the bullpen, working on her report. She was exhausted, just like everyone else. Her eyes seemed to stop working as all the words on her paper started to blur. She needed to take a break so she decided to get some coffee to help her wake up. It hadn't taken nearly as long as Emily thought it would, and she wasn't ready to return to the horrors of her report. She needed a distraction now. So she got another cup of coffee, grabbed a folder off her desk and went to find her favorite distraction.

JJ was in her office. She was done with what she had to do for their last case, but being the overachiever that she was, she stayed to try and organize a bit and get ready for their next case. 'Who am I kidding?' JJ thought, 'This office will never be organized.' She sighed and sat back in her chair, rubbing her temples. 'Well, at least that was the first normal thought that wasn't case, or Emily related.'

JJ had been thinking about Emily a lot. She had replayed their 'night' together over and over in her head, every free moment she got, just like she was starting to do now. Emily did the same. Only she got caught doing it, twice, both were while she was in the car with Morgan. She had dazed out, remembering the past weekend, trying to piece together what she was feeling, both times Morgan caught her, and both times he uncharacteristically let her go without playing 20 questions.

JJ was just getting to the part where Emily pulled her back to the bed when she heard a knock on the door. "Come in," JJ said, hoping a little too hard that it was who she thought it was on the other side.

Not one to disappoint, Emily opened the door and walked in. "Hey! How's it going in here?"

"It's good thanks, just trying to get ahead," JJ said as she motioned for Emily to sit down.

"Sorry to say Jayj, but I don't think that's ever going to happen," Emily said as she put down the cup of coffee she had brought for JJ on the one corner of the desk that wasn't covered by paperwork.

"Oh Emily you are my favorite person ever!" JJ praised Emily while picking up the cup and taking a sip. "Thank you so much!"

"No problem, I thought we could both use a break."

They both sat in silence for a few moments before Emily just couldn't help herself any longer. "So, how did it go with your Cajun Casanova?"

JJ put her coffee down and leaned in over the desk dramatically, talking in a loud whisper, "Oh God Emily, soooo bad!"

Emily laughed and JJ sat back, continuing, "He's like a puppy! It's awful, and I feel awful, but what am I supposed to do? He follows me around, he has this big life planned out for us, he's whiney and clingy....and...and…ugh," JJ threw her hands up in frustration, "and I never know what he's saying!!"Emily couldn't help herself, now she was in a full blown fit of laughter. JJ was exasperated, but lost control and started laughing herself.

JJ was wiping tears from her eyes when she noticed Emily holding her side. "Still sore?"

Emily straightened up, trying to act casual, "Yeah, nothing too bad though."

JJ was again, unconvinced, "Let me see." Emily looked at her with pleading eyes, but JJ didn't blink, "Emily Prentiss, you show me right now." Emily stood up and lifted her shirt with one hand while pulling the waist of her pants down a bit with the other, to reveal a very large, very angry looking bruise on her hip. "Whoa!" JJ said and scrunched her face in sympathy for her friend.

"It's not as painful as it looks," Emily said. JJ was silent while Emily put her shirt down and sat back in her chair.

Emily was just about to take another sip of her coffee when JJ exclaimed "SHIT!"

Emily didn't know how she didn't throw her coffee down the front of her shirt. She looked up at JJ, "what!?"

JJ looked horrified, "I laid on that all night!! Did I hurt you?"

Once again, Emily blushed. This was the first time they had brought up that night. "No, not at all, you only helped," Emily reassured her.

Now things were awkward.

There was a long pause in the conversation so Emily said the first thing that came to her mind, "So, did your Louisiana Lover get any action this weekend?"

JJ scoffed, "No! You got further then he did." They both started laughing again and the awkwardness was gone.

"Well, I better get back to work, we have until tomorrow, but that's Friday and I want to get out a little early if I can."

Emily went to get up but JJ's voice stopped her. "I broke it off with him."

Emily looked back at her, "What?"

JJ took a deep breath, "I broke it off with Will. It wasn't working out. It wasn't right."

Emily nodded her head slowly, "Are you sure that's what you want?"

JJ looked her straight in the eyes, "I know exactly what I want."

There was another bit of silence between them before Emily started to leave again, "Good, I just want you to be happy." While leaving JJ's office, Emily couldn't help but think, "What just happened? Did JJ leave Will because of me? No, don't be silly." Emily looked down and noticed the folder in her hand. She turned around and walked back into JJ's office, still lost in thought, "If she did, is that something you would want?" Emily asked herself. "The fact that you are even considering it must mean something."

Emily noticed that she was standing silently in the middle of JJ's office. She was flustered now, "Uh, sorry, I forgot the official reason why I came here. These are some of the notes from my report you requested." Emily went to put the folder down but lost her grip on it and in an attempt to catch it, proceeded to slap the file around until it landed on top of JJ's coffee, spilling it all over her desk. "Shit!" Emily exclaimed while trying to save some papers from the coffee carnage that was taking place on JJ's desk. JJ came around the front to help Emily, grabbing a box of tissues on her way. "I am so sorry JJ!" Emily was fumbling around and accidentally knocked JJ's phone off the desk, "Oh, come on!!!" Emily yelled as the phone crashed to the floor.

Emily was basically shaking now. Normally she could kick down a door with precision, navigate an abandoned warehouse with her weapon drawn, and chase down an Unsub in heals with ease, but all that was lost now. Now she was in a complete coordination meltdown. She bent down to get the phone and lost her balance. Grabbing onto the first thing she could to keep herself from falling over, but not before letting out another, "Shit!" Suddenly, everything was very quiet. Emily was frozen in a crouched position, frozen with her hand up Jennifer Jareau's skirt.

She hadn't realized what she grabbed a hold of to keep balance until it was too late. JJ had placed her hand on Emily's head in an attempt to steady herself so she didn't fall over with the brunette, but as soon as she felt Emily grab her she froze, eyes wide and staring straight ahead, posture stiffened, and breath held. Emily had inadvertently grabbed a hold of, not JJ's arm, not her waist, not even her calf. She wrapped her hand around her upper, inner thigh. She wasn't even sure how she managed it. Emily just stayed frozen, staring at the floor while her mind screamed "Move your hand! MOVE IT! MOVE IT! MOVE IT!!!!"

After a few more excruciating seconds Emily robotically removed her hand from the warmth of JJ's solid thigh and brought it out from under her skirt. She didn't get up yet, not ready to look at JJ and not being able to even form the words 'I'm sorry' yet. She raised the phone up over her head and blindly placed it back onto the desk. Then, when she felt JJ take her hand off her head, she got up, ready to give her apologies, she was stopped short by the closeness of JJ. She hadn't remembered them being that close together, when she was crouched down. Granted, it doesn't get much closer than a hand up the skirt, but still, Emily's apology was caught in her throat.

JJ must have stepped into her while she was getting up. They were just staring at each other, both of their breathing suddenly becoming very shallow. Emily was trying to reason with herself, 'Stop this! Stop it now. First you accost her leg, now you are violating her space, just back away...' But she couldn't. She couldn't move. The heat radiating off of JJ was intoxicating. She tried a different approach, opening her mouth to apologize, "I..." But that's as far as she got.

JJ's lips were on hers, soft and sweet and questioning. Emily thought her legs were going to give out. The kiss had been short but it had packed a punch. When their lips separated they didn't go far, both just staring at each other again. Emily couldn't help the smile that spread across her tingling lips. JJ took the cue and smiled back, leaning her forehead on Emily's. Again Emily tried to speak, "We..." And again, JJ cut her off, this time with a deeper kiss. Their bodies started catching up to what their mouths were doing as Emily's hand came up softly behind JJ's neck. JJ wrapped her arms around Emily's waist and back holding her closer.

After a few more moments of pure pleasure, the two very happy women reluctantly broke apart. Emily spoke first, "Wow..."

JJ smiled, "Yeah, wow!"

Emily closed her eyes trying to get her thoughts together. When she opened them, she couldn't help but ask, "What just happened?"

JJ thought for a moment, "I don't know." They separated further. Emily sat down on JJ's desk while JJ stood in front of her. JJ had one hand on her hip and the other rubbing the back of her neck. Emily had her head down with her hands in her hair. They both looked as though they were trying to solve some sort of puzzle.

Emily looked up at JJ, "I want to do it again." She then braced herself for rejection.

Instead, JJ let out a sigh of relief, "Oh thank God! Me too!!" JJ moved swiftly back into Emily's space, positioning herself between Emily's legs. She put her hands on Emily's thighs for leverage, while Emily put her hands on the small of JJ's back, pulling her in close. JJ looked into Emily's eyes, moving one hand up to caress her cheek. Emily closed her eyes and leaned into the touch. JJ waited for Emily to reopen her eyes before she tried to speak "You..."

But that's all she got out. It was Emily's turn to cut her off with a kiss. This time she gently slid her tongue into JJ's willing mouth. This caused a whole new set of sensations to rush through both women. Emily broke from JJ's mouth and started to trail kisses down her jaw and onto her neck. JJ moved her head to the side so Emily had better access and moaned in appreciation. Emily could feel the vibrations of JJ's moan under her sensitive lips. Things were getting intense.

JJ whispered breathlessly, "Emily..."

Emily returned between kisses with "Jennifer."

JJ said "Emily..." again.

To which Emily replied, "Oh Jennifer."

JJ's head was now upright, her hands gripping Emily's thighs, "EMILY!" JJ said in a sterner voice.

Emily's head shot up, "WHAT? What's wrong?"

JJ looked like she had seen a ghost. Her face was white and her mouth hung open. "What's that?" JJ said, and pointed. Emily turned around to look behind her, "That's a phone..."

JJ shook her head furiously, "No, no...THAT." She accented the word 'that' with another shake of her finger. Emily followed the imaginary line from JJ's finger with her eyes until she saw the menacing glare of a little red light on the phone - the little red light that signified an open line.

Emily looked horrified. She quickly pressed the button effectively hanging up the phone. Emily looked back at JJ. "I must have hit it when the phone dropped." They both looked like deer in headlights.

JJ wouldn't move, "What line was that?"

Emily tried to control her breathing. "It was to the briefing room," Emily quickly followed up with, "but nobody is here but us and the team, and certainly nobody was in that room."

JJ tried to calm down, "Yeah, yeah you're right, I mean, what are the odds right?"

Emily laughed nervously, "Well, I guess we should start with some ground rules. Rule #1: no making out at work."

JJ chuckled, "Yeah, rule #2: all coffee must have lids."

Emily really laughed this time. She looked behind her at the mess on JJ's desk. "Come on, I'll go get some paper towels and we can clean this up properly." She leaned in and gave JJ a quick kiss.

JJ looked at her, "You're a rule breaker aren't you?" Emily winked at JJ and together they left JJ's office.

When the two women came around the corner they were greeted by applause and cheering. There, in the middle of the bull pen, was their entire team. Each one had a huge grin on their face and were whistling and clapping. All except for Hotch, who had his arms crossed in front of him and a slight smirk on his face, which in Hotch language was the equivalent to a 'happy dance.'

JJ turned her head slightly and whispered to Emily, "Nobody would be in the briefing room huh?"

Emily faked a smile, "Well at least we won't have to worry about telling our friends." Emily took JJ's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze, "I'm in if you are."

JJ squeezed her hand back, "Oh, I am definitely in." The new couple joined their friends, trying to prepare themselves for a bombardment of questions that they had yet to figure out the answers to.
