mso-border-alt:none windowtext 0cm;padding:0cm">Authors Notes: Thanks again for the lovely reviews - this chapter was prompted by some comments about Garcia being all-knowing. I figured it’s about time to bring her back into the story (at least in some form). Oh, and somehow, she’s not yet realised that the girls are a little more than friends now! :D I thought that could be another chapter later on... As always, please review and let me know what you think!

mso-border-alt:none windowtext 0cm;padding:0cm"> Emily gets injured on their last case and JJ decided to organise a girl's road trip home with her...what will happen?
Satisfied from their earlier escapades, Emily headed for their shower, whilst JJ grabbed the maps to plan out their next route.
"Agent Jareau"
"Hey hon, how's our lovely brunette doing? I haven't had a call from the either of you and was making sure everything was fine"
JJ smiled dreamily.
Everything’s more than fine.
"JJ? Are you ok? Do I need to call the local...?”
JJ gave out a chuckle. "No, no...Sorry Pen, I just wandered off there for a second. Emily is doing fine; she's just taking a shower..... I think it was a good idea us doing this, she's not one to ask for help, but I think it's done her a world of good."
And me.
"Sounds like she's not the only one that has benefited from the time away!"
More than you know.
JJ grinned, "Definitely! I think it's just what we both needed."
"Well I'm glad you're both doing fine. Do you want me to book your next room?"
"I'm just planning out where we should end next. I'm thinking Lincoln. What do you think?"
"Ooh I know a great restaurant there; Kevin and I were going to try out in a few weeks. Supposed to be very romantic..." Garcia replied dreamily.
JJ's heart stopped.
Does she know?
Recovering quickly, the other blonde cleared her throat, "Sorry honey, I was daydreaming ahead to our weekend. It's not just for romancers though, I'm sure you two girls will love it too."
JJ breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sounds great, Garcia! Can you book us in there also then?"
"Absolutely hon, the Goddess is happy to oblige!"
Jennifer placed the phone down as the brunette came back in their room.
"That was Penelope; she's just booked us into our next spot!"
"Great," Emily responded placing a quick peck on JJ's forehead.
Jennifer pulled Emily in around the waist for a second tightening her hold, before heading in to the shower herself.

“So where exactly are we heading today?
“Mmm well, Lincoln is the final destination for tonight. We’ll head out to dinner at this great romantic restaurant Garcia booked for us,” JJ smirked as she responded, awaiting the same reaction she had.
“Eerrrr...” Emily was now as white as a ghost.
JJ kept silent for a second to tease the poor older woman.
Not being able to keep a straight face any longer, she snorted, “Sorry, I nearly died when she recommended it to me as a very romantic place for couples over the phone, but the All-Knowing Goddess is Not-So-Knowing on this occasion!”
Emily let out a sigh of relief, quickly clearing up her reaction... “Don’t get me wrong, JJ. I’m happy with us and, I love Garcia, but I don’t think I’m ready for that level of commitment that involves what comes with her knowing just yet!”
Chuckling, JJ placed her hand on Emily’s thigh, catching the flicker of desire as she did so. “I know, as much as I love the girl myself, this would get sooo much more complicated then we are really ready to handle right now! I’m happy with the way things are..” She raised her hand higher on Emily’s thigh, raising a shudder from the brunette.
“If you don’t stop that now, I’m going to put this hand brake on and start doing a little ravaging myself...You really don’t want to cause an accident do you?” Emily, determined to try and act serious, raised her eyebrow to the blonde. JJ just gave an evil grin, but complied, lowering her hand to a more comfortable position.
"So on the topic of work and home?"
A curious blonde turned to meet Emily’s eyes.
"What’s it to be? Your place or mine? Or both?"
The blonde smirked at the question.
"Mmm, well I guess I hadn't really thought about our housing arrangements. We really haven’t had much time to think about... But, I do think that we might need to keep both houses in check. If only for appearances sake though..."
Emily nodded, she hadn't really thought of that. If Garcia happened to stop by and notice a house that was empty a couple of days in a row, or, simple things taken for granted such as no food in the fridge, beds not being slept in or no signs of dirty washing, would only raise suspicions.
"This is going to be complicated, isn't it?" Emily sighed.
JJ looked over to the brunette, determined to make sure that the brunette was aware that she was prepared to do whatever it takes. "I think we can manage it, I reckon you're worth it." The blonde stared seriously at her.
Emily blushed but smiled towards the blonde and nodded in agreement.
"Hmm....So let's say alternate days for now at each other’s place and we see how that goes?"
"Sounds good to me... I guess it will help us work out which house we’d prefer to continue in after the charade is up!"
Emily closed her eyes dreamily as JJ focused her attention back on the road.
Their adventure, their lives - together - was just starting....
