TITLE: I think they call this a do over.
CHARACTERS: JJ & Aaron
RATING: Pg-13
SUMMARY: After getting off of the phone with her sister and best friend, JJ comes to some realizations.
OPEN/CLOSED: closed
STATUS: Incomplete
++++++++++
JJ sat silent at the kitchen table for what seemed like an eternity. She just thought. Thought about how the last few months of her life were blurring together and how she'd overcome so much and yet she continued to sit meekly by. She was simply existing, she wasn't thriving or excelling in life anymore she was just...existing. Before Emile, she was the glue of the BAU; the one who pulled together the cases, kept the team in line in a mother hen sort of way. Now it seemed everything lead to a panic attack or a wave of emotions; though partially to blame on the double dose of hormones raging through her body.
Granted, she'd done well for someone in her situation. Pregnant, kidnapped and tortured and her sanity was doing much better than most individuals. However as she refelected on the fact that her sister and best friend were getting married that very moment in Las Vegas; she came to a realization. Kelsey was the go getter. It wasn't that JJ completely lacked a drive in life prior to the incident, but she primarily was miss nice girl. Compassionate and somewhat subservient (unless a cause hit close to heart). But Kelsey...Kelsey could do spur of the moment, Kelsey could get married in Vegas and say a big eff you to their mother. JJ however...she was the planner and she realized then that sometimes it's better not to set things in stone. Especially where happiness was concerned.
Feeling particularly inspired, she wiped her damp cheeks and slowly walked into the living room, sitting herself on the couch by Aaron's feet where he was curled up with Jack. If Kelsey marrying Spencer in Vegas taught her one thing...it was to not let happiness pass you by. To just go out and get what you truly wanted.
"Aaron..." she said softly, rubbing his leg until he moved slightly to acknowledge her.
"You're going back to the BAU," she stated. "...and so am I."
