Rating: 14A
Summary/Spoilers: This is a retelling of the episode ‘Somebody’s Watching’. The BAU team is on the hunt for a killer stalking an actress. Meanwhile Jennifer Jareau begins dating the actress’s best friend, unaware she’s the stalker they’re searching for. Yeah that’s right I just revealed the ending of the episode, but it’s not possible to write this story without revealing it anyway. Numerous story revelations are revealed.
A/N: This episode not only had two women I really like (A.J. Cook and Katheryn Winnick) together, but the first portrayal of gay characters on Criminal Minds, with Katheryn being one of them. It had so many things going for it, but instead it was disappointing. A.J. and Katheryn’s screen time was minimal, they never appeared onscreen together, and the gay portrayals were terrible. Ironically Maggie Lowe is probably still the best portrayed gay character on the series. So I decided to write this episode the way it should’ve gone. Oh and that “lesbian” crushing on Gideon earlier in the episode because he reminded her of her dad? That scene alone warrants her getting erased from the story.

Part 8
“Thanks.” Maggie closes the door behind her. The agent looks around the place, “Wow. Quite a place. You sure Lila doesn’t mind us being here when she’s away?”
Maggie unlocks the front door to Lila’s home and steps inside. “Come on in,” she tells Jennifer.
“Don’t worry about it. We’re welcome at each other’s home at any time. Why do you think she gave me the keys to her house?”
“I take it she has the keys to your place too?”
“Correct.”
Jennifer takes off her jacket, “Where should I put my jacket?”
“Just toss it on one of the furniture.”
The agent places it on the living room bench.
“And what does Lila feel about us having sex in her place?”
“She’ll probably be happy for us and glad that we chose a nice place for our first time.”
Jennifer smiles at that response, “If you say so.”
“Come on. I’ll show you where the bedroom is.”
*****
Jennifer falls on Lila’s bed with Maggie moving right on top of her. Maggie takes off her shirt then touches the side of the blonde’s face. She then unzips Jennifer’s pants again and continued where she left off in the car. Jennifer gasps as her body falls into arousal by Maggie’s touch. Parts of her felt nervous, other parts are enjoying every bit of this. Jennifer sheds off her shirt then pulls Maggie’s torso closer to her own. The feel of this much skin touching one another, it was a new sensation for the press liaison. Maggie then takes out her hand from Jennifer’s pants and places them on the other woman’s hips. She gently tugs down the agent’s pants and tosses them off the bed. Maggie then rolls onto her back and follows up with sliding off her own pants and tossing them away, both women down to their under garments. Maggie moves back on top of Jennifer’s legs and kisses her on the stomach. Maggie makes her way up Jennifer’s body. Once at the breasts, she reaches behind Jennifer and unhooks her bra. Maggie feels Jennifer breasts, first with her hand, then with her mouth. Jennifer tilts her head back in enjoyment. Maggie continues her way up, and stops at Jennifer’s neck. The rest of the Jackson Browne song played in the golden blonde’s head as she made love to Jennifer.
I heard her talkin' with her friend when she thought nobody else was around.
Something else was playing in her head too.
She said she's got to be somebody's baby; she must be somebody's baby.
The images of Maggie making love in a similar fashion to another blonde somewhere else is dawning in her head.
'Cause when the cars and the signs and the street lights light up the town,
The other blonde is revealed to be Lila Archer. Maggie turned her head to the side and saw blonde hair. Another thought of Lila looking at Maggie with a smile on the actress’s face as she lays on her back naked on the bed during that night enters her mind.
She must be somebody's baby;
She's got to be somebody's baby.
She's so....
Maggie raises up her head to look past the hair to see Jennifer Jareau’s face instead. Jennifer turns to face Maggie then kisses her. They keep their kiss locked as Maggie moves her fingers in the blond agent’s vagina and rubs their bodies together. The kiss is finally broken when Jennifer rolls over to be on top of Maggie. She takes one of Maggie’s hands and intertwines their fingers together. Jennifer smiles down at the other blonde. The agent wants to lead this time. She presses their bodies together and starts moving her hips. Their gaze and grip was maintained.
I try to shut eyes, but I can't get here outta my sight.
I know I'm gonna know her, but I gotta get over my fright.
We'll, I'm just gonna walk up to her.
Maggie’s grip tightens as Jennifer applies more pressure, causing more pleasure to surge through them. Thoughts of Lila begin slowly fading. Her mind is focused on Jennifer more than anything else now as the agent aroused her body. The two of them were reaching their crowning points together. Many emotions Maggie stored inside her were reacting to the state the blonde was in. Feelings bottled up inside her for years are being released. A love and sense of joy that wasn’t felt in what was too long for Maggie finally surfaced.
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's only light.
Gonna shine tonight.
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight.
Frustration, rage, sadness, all the emotions that eventually got the better of Maggie too many times are being purged. She can feel those inner demons dwindling.
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight.
Maggie grabs the back of Jennifer’s head and tugs her down for another passionate kiss. The wave of sensation hits. Finally Jennifer’s body collapses on top of Maggie, both sated and exhausted. The blonde agent needs more air than she is getting, but Maggie keeps the kiss going, so Jennifer settles for the amount she is currently getting. Maggie finally breaks off the kiss and both women find each other panting. Jennifer rolls off Maggie and lies next to her. They don’t say anything, simply gaze at one another in admiration. Soon the two blondes close their eyes and fall asleep.
*****
Maggie opens her eyes and sees the morning sun beaming down through the window. Memories of the previous night, which felt surreal for her, begin to materialize. She shifts her gaze to the other side of the bed and sees Jennifer sleeping. The blonde rubs her eyes and lets out a sigh. She stares up at the ceiling and tries to clear her head. For once she is able to think clearly. All the nagging thoughts in her head aren’t there anymore. Even her thoughts on Lila have died down. It was as if she woke up as a new person.
The blonde turns her body on its side and looks fixedly at the other blonde facing away from her, Jennifer Jareau. Maggie slips her hand underneath the sheets and places an arm around Jennifer’s body, running the tips of her fingers along the silky skin of the blond agent’s stomach.
The tickling sensation gets a smile out of Jennifer. She begins chuckling a bit before finally waking up. She turns around to see who it is. The sight of Maggie causes Jennifer to beam a grin as she rubs her eyes. “So it wasn’t a dream,” Jennifer says as last night is returning back to her.
Maggie returns the smile, “Morning.”
Jennifer rubs her head, “What time is it?”
“7:30 am,” she answers.
Jennifer relaxes her body again, “Good thing it’s Saturday. I wouldn’t want to face any of my coworkers right now, and have them ask me what happened last night.”
Maggie gives her a deadpan expression, “Why wouldn’t you want to tell them what happened last night?”
Jennifer faces Maggie again, “Wouldn’t sound too professional that I’m during dating Lila’s best friend while we’re still investigating the case. Plus working with a bunch of profilers, you might not want to share everything with them so suddenly.”
Maggie lightens up again, “Of course.”
“What did you think was the reason?”
“I thought you might have been one of those closet cases,” Maggie answers.
The blond agent places a hand on Maggie’s cheek, “Why would I be ashamed of someone as beautiful as you?”
Maggie smirks, “Ever been with a woman before?”
“I flirted with women in the past, or rather they flirted with me,” she says softly. “But you’re the first woman I’ve ever gotten serious with. How about you?”
“I’ve dated other women in the past.”
“How long ago was your last relationship?”
“I think about nine months ago. When was your last date?”
“Almost six months now if you want to call it a date,” the agent answers.
“Who was it with?”
“Reid,” Jennifer answers, embarrassed.
Maggie reacts in shock then places an arm over her eyes, “Oh man, do I even want to know the details?”
“Nothing happened,” she tries to defend herself. “It was Spence’s birthday and everyone was trying to get him to be more socially active. So Gideon gave him a pair of Redskins tickets to ask me out with.”
Maggie forms a half-grin while still keeping her arm over her eyes, “How far did it go?”
“Not far. We didn’t even make any contact until halfway through the game. Then when Reid did try to make his move, he only touched my arm before he ran off.”
Maggie takes her arm off her eyes and looks at her lover, “Why did he run off?”
“He had an accident,” she says slowly.
“He spilled his drink?”
“No.”
Maggie thinks for a bit, “He got hit in the face?”
“No.”
Maggie tries to find other possibilities, “He tripped on his shoes again?” Jennifer shakes her head.
Maggie shrugs her shoulders in defeat, “I don’t know. What kind of accident happened?”
Jennifer curls one corner of her lips, “Let’s just say he had the same type of accident Bill Paxton from True Lies gets when he’s really nervous.”
Maggie is shocked when she quickly recalls True Lies. Then that shock turns into disgust, “Ewww. Did he get any on you?”
“No he got off his seat and ran to the washroom before it really got going. He’s so embarrassed about it that he always answers “top secret” whenever a colleague asks him how the date went.” Jennifer points to Maggie, “And I would appreciate it if you didn’t tell anyone about this either, and that includes Lila.”
Maggie does a zipper impression along her mouth, “My lips are sealed. Though he’s never going to get a girlfriend with that kind of nervousness.”
“I think Reid’s destined to be asexual. It would really explain a lot about him.”
Maggie smiles and traces her hand along her lover’s chest. “You want to sleep a bit more, or should I go make some breakfast now?”
“Don’t think I’ll be sleeping anymore. Thanks for waking me up!” she says in a more energetic tone. Jennifer takes a pillow and smacks Maggie with it.
The press liaison climbs off the bed and gathers her clothes from the ground.
*****
The two of them are clothed again and seat themselves at the kitchen table, enjoying a simple breakfast of bacon and eggs.
After their meal the two of them relax on the couch simply watching some TV. Jennifer chuckles a bit, “Women our age and we’re still watching kids programming.”
“Saturday mornings are pretty much focused entirely on kids programming,” replies Maggie. The blonde leans on Jennifer’s shoulder.
“Want to do anything later today?” Jennifer asks her.
“You choose,” Maggie answers.
A thought occurs to Jennifer, “Can I see your place?”
Maggie looks at her lover, “My place?” Jennifer nods. “You don’t want to see my place.”
“Why not? It looked pretty lovely from the outside.”
“It’s just like any other apartment. This place is nicer,” answers Maggie.
“And I bet it’s still nicer than the hotel room I’m staying at. Come on, I would really like to see your place and get to know you better Maggie. You don’t have someone chained up in there do you?”
Maggie smiles, “Course not.” A part of her gave in, “Fine. I’ll show you my place later today.
Jennifer wraps her arms around Maggie. She pulls the other blonde closer and kisses her on the cheek. “Earlier when we were talking about people we dated in the past,” she says softly. “I want you to know, man or woman, you’re the first person I've ever become serious with Maggie.”
