***
JJ stopped the car out the front of Emily’s apartment building. The trip was well and truly over, and although both girls had grown so much for the experience, Emily was quite happy to be at home finally.
Emily broke the silence as the two girls stared out of the car, “Are you coming in?”
“I thought I might head home and get some stuff sorted...”
Emily dropped her head and meekly responded, “Oh...”
Seeing the response, JJ smiled and placed her hand on Emily’s. “I’m coming back, Emily.” Emily looked up and saw the positive response from the blonde, returning the smile directed at her. “I just need to check out a few things at home and grab a few things. I meant what I said on the trip,” JJ rubbed her thumb over Emily’s hand, “I think you have something you have to do too.”
Emily looked and JJ curiously. What had she forgotten?
“Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten that you need to call your mother?” JJ saw Emily’s body squirm to the word, ‘mother.’
“It’s better to get it out of the way and I’m sure it won’t be too bad.”
Emily snorted at the comment, “You seriously don’t know my mother!”
“Well, you have me back at your home to help you through it afterwards.”
Emily looked into blue eyes and smiled. “That would make anything alright.”
One short kiss later and Emily was outside the SUV, watching JJ pull away.
***
“Hi Erin, is my mother around?”
She held the line and plonked herself into her lounge suite, facing the city views in front of her.
“Emily, I’m glad you called as soon as you were in. Can you come around to see me around ten tomorrow please? We have something important to discuss.”
“I’ve only...”
“Thanks Emily, I’ll see you then.”
Before Emily could argue, her mother had hung up the phone. She sighed and pressed at her temples, knowing full well that the discussion tomorrow would be about her “relations” with a certain blonde that coincidentally worked for the FBI also. She gazed out at the amazing lights now visible from her window and tried not to concern her too much about it.
Knock knock.
Emily smiled as got off the couch to greet her lover.
Opening the door, she was greeted with a deep, explorative kiss.
“I missed you,” Emily husked.
“I missed you too,” JJ looked around the apartment, “Wow, this place is amazing, Emily!” She wandered to the now-lit nightscape view of the city. “What a beautiful view,” she withdrew her gaze from outside the window and took in Emily once more, “inside and out.”
“I much prefer my view now,” Emily smiled and placed a kiss on the lips facing her. “I spoke to my mother...I have a meeting with her tomorrow morning. I didn’t have a chance to even get out of it.”
“Sounds like she knows something is up,” JJ brought her hands around Emily and pulled her body snug with hers.
“Mmm, I’m afraid so.”
“It will be fine, Em. We’ll get through this,” she claimed Emily’s lips once more softly, withdrawing for only a second, before delving into Emily’s now parted lips. Pulling back for air, JJ asked, “Are you going to show me around?”
“Of course, mi casa, su casa.”
JJ smiled at the ease of which the foreign language rolled off the brunette’s tongue, as she was led away to view the apartment.
***
The warm breath on her neck and firm grasp of JJ’s arms claiming her body caused a smile from the brunette. She looked over at the alarm clock sitting on her bedside table and sighed at the time; 9:16 AM. Her meeting with her mother was under an hour away, and she still had not really thought about what she was going to say, if her mother asked about the JJ.
“Good morning,” JJ breathed into Emily’s neck causing her to jerk from the tickling sensation. “Ah, have I found a ticklish spot?” JJ licked and sucked the same spot, causing Emily to giggle and try to jerk away from the invasion.
“Mmmm,” she accepted the kiss Emily gave to break JJ’s efforts, “I’ll have to remember that for next time.”
“Oh no, you don’t! They’ll be no sex for you, if you go near that spot again!”
JJ pouted, and then smiled. “How are you going to resist my charms?” She traced a finger over Emily’s clavicle, causing her to gasp.
“I have other ways to entertain myself,” Emily grinned at JJ.
“Oh really?” Once more she brushed her finger across Emily, this time trailing it down the side of her breast.
“Mmmmmm, yes,” she leaned forward to kiss JJ, but was disappointed as the blonde withdrew, causing her to whimper.
“Maybe you should use those methods now,” JJ attempted to get off the bed, but was pulled harshly back down into Emily’s body.
It didn’t take long for JJ to forget the teasing and enjoy in their make-out session.
Suddenly realising the time, Emily withdrew her lips from JJ and glanced at the clock. 9:43 AM.
“Oh my God, I’m going to be soooo late,” she pulled herself off the bed and grabbed at some clothes.
“Wha-?” The blonde turned around and sat up confused.
“My meeting with mother. It’s at 10. I’m never going to make it. She is going to kill me.” Emily raced out the door, before popping her head back in the bedroom door. “You’ll be here when I get back?”
JJ nodded and yelled out good luck, as she heard the door slam to the front door.
***
“She’s in her office. She’s waiting for you Ms. Prentiss.”
“Thanks Erin. How pissed is she? “
“On a scale of one to ten, I’m imagining she’s an eleven.”
Emily sucked in air for a deep breath and brushed out her clothes, before entering her mother’s office.
“I’m glad you could finally join me, Emily.”
“I’m sorry, mother. I got caught in some traffic on the way over here...”
The Ambassador interrupted her, “Just sit down Emily.”
The tone in her voice did nothing to ease Emily’s nerves. She knew. She knew exactly what had been going on Jennifer’s and her road trip. She knew exactly what they were doing the day that she had called. Emily swallowed deeply, trying to clear the large lump in her throat.
“I guess you know why you are here, or do you need me to make it clear for you?”
The Ambassador maintained eye contact as Emily’s cheeks continued to colour red.
“I’m assuming by your reaction, you do know why you are here,” she raised the tea cup in her hand to her mouth, allowing her enough time to make the silence more unbearable than Emily could have imagined possible.
Emily could only nod.
“The liaison...? The blonde haired woman from your work...?”
Emily sighed, trying to not hide her face in embarrassment. Why does her compartmentalisation fail her now when she most needed it?
“I thought we were out of this phase, Emily?”
“What phase is that, mother? My lesbian phase?”
The Ambassador choked mildly on her drink, attempting to recover her composure.
Emily smiled at her openness and her mother’s reaction.
“Emily, I’ve always known you were a lesbian, my dear.”
It was Emily’s turn to lose her composure, she was stunned. How come she was here then? Why confront her now?
“That’s old news, and I’ve given up trying to find a suitable male partner for you. Although, if you do need one, I’m sure I can call up a few associates if the liaison doesn’t work out.”
She raised an eyebrow, curious at her why her mother had asked for her to get there as a matter of urgency, “Umm, then why am I here?”
“Your little rendezvous...”
Emily gasped and blushed.
“Yes, the one in Lincoln.”
Emily was at a loss for words. How could she know about that?
“Word has got around about a couple of FBI agents in an alleyway....”
“Oh my God,” were the only words that Emily could get out, as she blushed deep red.
“My good friend, Police Chief Commissioner Robinovich let me in on the rumours going around the police departments at the moment. Apparently, it’s just started doing the rounds at the FBI.”
Emily did not think she could blush any further when her mother locked eyes with her. Her mind was going a million miles an hour at the thought that it would not take long for the BAU to know, and Strauss. “Oh no,” she whispered.
“Oh, yes, Emily,” her mother sipped at her cup once more, not showing much emotion at all - the same Prentiss family-trait.
“I’ve tried to keep it down as much as I can. I suggest you have a talk to your friend and work out a way to handle it, before you get approached. I’ve talked to some of my people. I know how much you like your job, I’ll see what I can do from my end,” the Ambassador sighed. “I’ve had some time to get used to this Emily, so...” Emily’s mother looked at her and she could tell that her mother’s face had softened. “I want to make sure everything works out okay for you...I want you to be happy...”
Emily was at a loss for words. How could her mother, the robotic, emotionless individual, be now so open and for once, care about her daughter’s feelings? She’d never done that before.
The Ambassador breathed deep, “I’ve realised my methods of trying to get you to do what I want, don’t work anymore. Your health and safety was my only concern. Which is why, I’ll help you as much as you can. Next time though, can you keep it indoors and in the privacy of your own bedroom? I don’t want to hear about your sexual escapades or see them ever again.”
Emily blushed at the comment and placed her face down. “It was never my intention to get caught ever, or, for you to be the one to catch me. You do know how embarrassing it was for me too?”
“It certainly doesn’t make my day, catching my daughter in bed with another woman. Well, really even if it was a man...”
“Okay, mother, can we talk about something else? I don’t really want to chat about this anymore....”
“Just one question, what is it with blondes, anyway...?”
