"Clear" you shouted.

"In here" you heard JJ shout, you followed her voice to a room, you scanned the room and it was huge, no windows and one door, JJ was standing right next to the door with her back pressed flat against the wall.

"Jen-" your heartbeat quickly as you heard the door slam shut, your eyes quickly scanned the room to find that no one else was in the room "Jay?" you turned around quickly.

"I've been wanting to do this for so long" she sighed “get you all alone” she taunted, playing with the gun in her hand.

"Honey, you're scaring me" you reached out to your girlfriend "do what?" your eyes became quick with tears.

Before you could even acknowledge what was going on, JJ aimed the gun just above your bullet prove vest, you fell to the floor and watched as blood poured from your body, you groaned in pain as you physically couldn't do anything "what the hell Jennifer?" you mustered up strength to slightly lean up on your elbows to face her, you saw her smiling to herself, the gun still a toy to her in her hands.

"What the fuck" you muttered to yourself as you flopped back down.

"Let's get you more comfortable shall we?" JJ started to walk over to you.

"No, don't come anywhere near me" you cried, pushing yourself backwards until you hit a wall behind you "fuck" you screamed as you realised you were trapped.

"You look so pretty like this, you know" JJ smirked as she walked closer to you "There's a chair over there" she jerked her head to the only wooden chair in the room "sit on it for me babe" she smiled, tears still running down your eyes, more so now at the stark difference that JJ was showing.

You shook your head harshly, forcing yourself to look away from her "not until you tell me what's going on?" you managed to get out.

JJ grabbed your chin harshly for you to face her "sit. on. it." she demanded.

"Not until you tell me what's going on" you grunted.

"Fuck-okay-fine" JJ forcefully grabbed your arm and pulled you up and dragged you to the chair, she pushed you down by your shoulders and handcuffed you to the chair with your hands behind your back, there was absolutely no escaping this now, "you made that way harder than it needed to be" JJ whispered inches from your face, her breath hot on your face.

"Please Jayje" you begged "just tell me what I did so we can work this out" you begged, wanting nothing more than to cup her cheeks with your hands.

"You cheated on me" JJ spoke adamantly.

"No" you sobbed, looking away "I would-I would never do that to you" shocked at even she would suggest that.

"Really?" JJ tilted her head to the side.

You nodded profusely "really"

"Oh because.." JJ drawled as she walked around the chair "...because I cheated on you" she stopped behind you put her hands on your shoulders, leaning down swipe your hair to the other side as she whispered in your ear "numerous times actually, you know, with Elle, with Emily, with Tara too actually" she laughed as she listed the names "Emily was the most actually now that I remember it" she laughed "Y/N?" she called out "Y/N"'she shouted.

"Y/N" JJ shouted as you woke up in your shared bed, you looked down to see JJ's arm wrapped around your waist "I'm sorry, you were having a really bad dream and you started shaking" JJ worried "what did you dream about?" JJ asked shyly as she drew patterns over your arms.

"You" you said shyly.

"Me?" she questioned as you turned over to see her, you knew that you were looking at your caring and gentle girlfriend but all you could see was that JJ who cheated on you and wanted to kill you.

"Yeah" you whispered.

You wrapped your arms tightly around her waist and she pulled you in closer, occasionally kissing your head and stroking your hair, being a profiler, she sensed something was wrong and off but she waited for you to talk first.

"You wanted to kill me and you cheated on me with Elle, Emily, and Tara" you quietly sniffed below her.

"Oh honey" JJ cooed "you are my number one girl, you know that" JJ laughed slightly but once you didn't move, she cupped your cheeks and kissed your head "I love you so so so so much Y/N please don't forget that, I would never cheat on you, I know that your dream felt really real but I promise I'm all yours" she smiled as she put her chin on your head.

"I love you too" you smiled pulling yourself back to look up at her, grinning at her smile.

"Did I wake you by the way? I'm so sorry about that" you sighed as you felt bad.

"Shh" JJ cooed "don't even worry about it,I probably would've woke up around this time anyway"

You didn't say anything, you just nodded and hugged her once more "Can we stay like this?" you said hopeful.

"Sure, I don't actually think we have any plans for today, so absolutely" JJ smiled.

"Perfect" you smiled as you leaned over your bed to get the tv remote to but films on.

"I meant what I said earlier, you know?" JJ said shyly interrupting the middle of the film.

"I know, and I would never do that to you either" you sighed contently "I love you too much" you both laughed.

"Are you kinda tired?" you spoke up, now being the one to interrupt the movie.

"Not really" she shook her head lightly "are you?" she looked down at you, your head was still facing the movie.

"A little" you smiled.

"Go to sleep, it's alright" JJ tucked your hair behind your ears "I'll be here when you wake up or If you have a bad dream again, I'll be here alright"

"Alright" your glance finally breaking away from the movie "Thank you" you smirked, JJ silently accepting as she kissed your head once more before you fell asleep.

————————————————————————

"Hey" JJ shook you awake gently "wake up honey we're gonna be late for work"

"Hmm?" you stirred sleepily.

"It's 7am we need to get up now babe" JJ leaned down to grab your hands to pull you out of bed.

"Your hands are freezing JJ" you flinched.

"No they're-" she stopped in the middle of her sentence as she realized it wasn't her hands who felt off "you feeling okay?" she asked as she started feeling your head.

"Yeah I'm fine" you said with a raspy voice and a slight splutter.

"You're very hot" JJ answered.

"Yes I know JJ but now is-" you started.

"I am talking about your temperature omg."

You and JJ laughed.

"Honey, you are sick though, I'm calling Hotch and I'm staying here with you" JJ offered.

"Wha- Im- no- you have to go to work Jayje" you cracked a smile.

"It's a paperwork day, plus they'll be fine without me for one day" JJ smiled as she used one hand to tuck your hair behind your ears and one hand to call your boss.

"Wait don't leave" you smiled to your girlfriend.

"You have a fever sweetheart, of course I'm not going anywhere?" she felt your temperature again.

"You'll get sick if you come too close" you warned.

"Guess I'll take that chance" she smiles as she leaned down to kiss you "I'm right here" JJ smiled "are you tired? you can go to sleep" JJ whispered as she got through to Hotch at the same time "go to sleep honey I'll be back in a second, okay?" she smiles and tucked your hair behind your ears again and squeezed your hand once.

"I'm not even tired" you yawned at the same time, making JJ laugh slightly.

Your eyes followed JJ as she left the room, you breathed a heavy sigh and tried to fall asleep.

10 minutes later as you finally managed to get some sleep JJ came back with green tea and some medicine.

"Sit up for me baby, just for a second so you can take your medicine" JJ's voice came out just above a whisper.

You groaned as you lifted yourself up "You're too good to me Jennifer" you croaked.

"No" she smiled as she bit her lip and tried to change the subject "Youre so cute when you're sick" she giggled as she held up the cup of tea for you to drink, your face crinkled into a disgusted look as you sipped your tea right after your meditation "I know it's nasty, but I need you to take it anyway" she nodded to the tea which you now pushed away.

"You need me to take it huh" your voice croaked.

"Hmm" JJ tried her best to hide her laugh.

"Well I need you to cuddle with me, right now" you cutely demanded.

"Well, how am I supposed to say no to that cute face" JJ laughed as she slowly flopped onto the bed, you held out out hand to stroke JJ's hair in front of you. "I should be doing this to you" JJ smiled up at you.

"Would you just come up here?" you smiled at JJ as you pulled her up closer to your chest which made you and JJ laugh at the same time.

"Do you want to watch anything?" JJ leaned over to get the remote.

"Come back" you groaned "It's cold without you" JJ looked back and jokingly scowled at you "Brooklyn nine nine" you muttered under your breath.

"That's much better" JJ nodded as you finally answered her question, she smiled to herself as she lifted the covers for her to get underneath to cuddle with you, running her fingers though your hair as you watched the show.

"How are you feeling?" JJ asked a couple of minutes into the show as rested her chin on my head after she kissed it.

"Better now that you are here thanks Jayje" you turned your neck to face her and kiss her. "Wait You're gonna get sick" you worried.

"It's okay Y/N don't worry" she smiled.

"You're very comfortable" you said as you leaned against her.

"Thank you honey, I love you" JJ smiled.

"I love you too" you smiled back.

Bonus chapter: Bali vacation

The golden rays of the Bali sun danced across the lush greenery as Yn and Joris stepped out of their dorm in the private villa, greeted by the aroma of exotic flowers and the distant sound of cascading waterfalls. Charles, Alexandra, Andrea, Arthur, and Anthoine were already up, chatting excitedly about the day's plans. She took in the warm breeze, feeling the excitement bubble within her. This vacation was long overdue, especially after Charles' recent success in Australia.

"Bon matin!" She called out with a wide grin, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Good morning, sleepyheads!" Charles replied, her own excitement palpable as she joined the group. "What's on the agenda for today?" She asked her brother while hugging her younger brother and seeing him happy after tough times.

"Today's agenda: waterfall exploration" Charles announced with a grin while having breakfast, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Sounds perfect" Yn replied, matching her brother's enthusiasm. She glanced at Joris, who was already capturing the moment with his camera, a wide smile etched on his face.

Their first stop was Tegenungan Waterfall, its cascading waters a sight to behold.

“Can you believe we're actually here?" Yn exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she took in the breathtaking scenery

Charles chuckled, slinging an arm around her shoulders. "It's about time we took a break from the fast life, don't you think?"

Joris nodded, his arm wrapped securely around Yn's waist. "Definitely. It's like something out of a dream," Joris murmured, his gaze fixed on the natural wonder before them

Yn nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of serenity wash over her. "Let's take a dip" she suggested, kicking off her shoes and wading into the refreshing waters, as she couldn't resist the urge to dip her toes into the cool pool below, laughter bubbling from her lips as Charles playfully splashed water at her

"Charles, stop!" she giggled, trying to shield herself from the playful assault

"Never!" he declared, a mischievous glint in his eyes

As they dried off and continued their journey, they stumbled upon an elephant sanctuary. Yn's heart swelled with joy as she interacted with the majestic creatures, where they had the opportunity to interact with these majestic creatures up close. Yn couldn't contain her joy as she fed bananas to them and marveled at their intelligence

"This is incredible," she murmured, her eyes shining with wonder

"It's incredible how gentle they are," Alex remarked, her heart swelling with affection for the magnificent animals

Joris captured the moment, his camera clicking away as he immortalized their shared experience. Yn stole a glance at him, a surge of warmth flooding her heart at the sight of her boyfriend capturing memories they would cherish forever

"Isn't this amazing, Jojo?" Yn exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement as they passed by colorful stalls selling handmade crafts and aromatic street food

Joris wrapped an arm around her shoulders, his gaze mirroring her awe. "Absolutely stunning, just like you," he whispered, earning a playful nudge from Yn

Later that day, as the sun dipped below the horizon, laughter echoed from the terrace, where Joris and Anthoine were engaged in a friendly game of table tennis

"Looks like they're having fun," Yn remarked, her gaze drifting to where Alexandra and Andrea were engrossed in conversation by the pool

"They certainly are," Charles agreed, a soft smile tugging at his lips. "It's good to see everyone enjoying themselves”

After a delicious dinner prepared by Andrea and Yn, where she and Andrea bonded over their shared love of cooking, exchanging stories, they found themselves sitting on the terrace, a stack of board games spread out before them

"È così bello cucinare con te, Yn" Andrea said, a smile lighting up her face. (It's so nice cooking with you, Yn)

Yn returned the sentiment, feeling a sense of belonging in Andrea's presence. "Grazie, Andrea. È un piacere" (Thank you, Andrea. It's a pleasure)

"Prepare to lose, little sis," Charles teased, eyeing the Scrabble board with determination.

Yn laughed, shaking her head. "We'll see about that, frère"

As they played, the competitive spirit that ran in the Leclerc blood took over, and soon they were engrossed in a fierce battle of words.

In between rounds, Yn stole glances at her brothers, feeling a surge of affection for them. Despite the pressures of their respective careers, moments like these reminded her of the unbreakable bond they shared.

The following morning, Yn joined Alexandra for a shopping excursion, exploring the vibrant markets and boutique stores that lined the streets of Ubud.

"Tu trouves quelque chose d'intéressant?" Alexandra asked, holding up a delicate handcrafted necklace. (Do you find anything interesting?)

Yn nodded, admiring the intricate design. "Oui, c'est magnifique!" she exclaimed, smiling warmly. (Yes, it's beautiful!)

As they wandered through the bustling streets, Yn couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over her. In the midst of paradise, surrounded by loved ones, she knew that this vacation in Bali would be a cherished memory for years to come.

Their adventures in the island, led them to vibrant markets, where Yn and Alexandra indulged in a spree of shopping, their laughter ringing through the air as they haggled with vendors over colorful clothes and lots of souvenirs.

"It's so nice to spend this time with you," Yn smiled, linking arms with Alexandra as they strolled along the bustling streets.

"I couldn't agree more," Alexandra replied, her laughter tinkling like wind chimes in the breeze.

"Tu trouves quelque chose d'intéressant?" Alexandra asked, holding up a delicate handcrafted necklace. (Do you find anything interesting?)

Yn nodded, admiring the intricate design. "Oui, c'est magnifique!" she exclaimed, smiling warmly. (Yes, it's beautiful!)

One evening, Yn and Joris stole away for a romantic dinner in a quaint village restaurant, savoring each moment of solitude amidst the bustling energy of Bali.

Tu es magnifique ce soir" Joris murmured, his eyes sparkling with adoration (You look beautiful tonight)

Yn's cheeks flushed pink as she leaned closer, her heart fluttering at his words. "Merci, mon amour, toi aussi," she whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips

"Il fait tellement beau ici, n'est-ce pas?" Yn remarked, her eyes sparkling with joy as she savored the flavors of Balinese cuisine. ("It's so beautiful here, isn't it?")

Joris nodded, his gaze softening as he reached across the table to take her hand. "C'est magique, tout comme toi." ("It's magical, just like you.")

As they reached the villa, laughter and chatter greeted them. Charles and Arthur were engaged in a heated game of Monopoly, their competitive spirits evident in every move.

"Ah, look who's finally decided to grace us with their presence," Charles teased, flashing a grin at his sister and Joris.

"Monopoly, encore?" Yn teased, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. ("Monopoly, again?")

Charles chuckled, exchanging a knowing look with Arthur. "You know you love it, Yn."

"Care to join in?" Arthur asked, gesturing to the board.

Yn chuckled, shaking her head. "Maybe other day. Jojo and I have other plans for the evening."

Joris smirked, wrapping an arm around Yn's waist. "Indeed we do."

Charles and Arthur's expressions shifted from amusement to mock horror in an instant. "Yn!" Charles exclaimed, his cheeks flushing slightly. "Trop d'information!" (Too much information!) and Joris and Yn leave laughing at her brothers antics

Yn, Charles and Arthur also had time to go on a special siblings' day, their bond as strong as ever. They shared stories, laughter, and secrets, relishing the precious moments they spent together.

"Regardez, Yn!" Artie exclaimed, pointing excitedly at a display of souvenirs

Yn smiled, marveling at her brother's enthusiasm. "C'est magnifique, Artie! Let's get one for maman and Lolo, shall we?"

"Tu sais, Artie, peu importe ce qui arrive, nous serons toujours là l'un pour l'autre," Yn said, squeezing his hand reassuringly. (You know, Artie, no matter what happens, we'll always be there for each other.)

Arthur nodded, a grateful smile tugging at his lips. "Merci, Yn. Je ne sais pas ce que je ferais sans toi." (Thank you, Yn. I don't know what I would do without you.)

"Vous êtes les meilleurs frères du monde," Arthur declared, wrapping his arms around Yn and Charles in a tight hug. (You're the best siblings in the world.)

"Et vous, vous êtes les meilleures frère Turtur," Yn replied, pressing a kiss to his forehead. (And you're the best brothers)

Their week was filled with laughter, love, and cherished memories, weaving a tapestry of moments that would forever bind them together as siblings.

Under Anthoine's guidance, Yn delved into the art of photography, discovering a newfound passion for capturing moments frozen in time and she absorbed the wisdom of Anthoine.

"Merci pour ton aide, Anthoine," Yn said, gratitude shining in her eyes. (Thank you for your help, Anthoine.)

Anthoine grinned, his enthusiasm infectious. "De rien, Yn. C'est un plaisir de t'aider." (You're welcome, Yn. It's a pleasure to help you.)

"Patience et passion sont les clés de la photographie," Anthoine explained, his words resonating with Yn as she captured the beauty of Bali through her own lens. (Patience and passion are the keys to photography.)

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the sky in hues of pink and orange, Yn couldn't help but feel grateful for the precious time spent with her loved ones in the enchanting paradise of Bali.

Depression is commonplace among women because housework is boring, sex is boring, cooking is boring, children are boring, and the woman resents being bored but cannot change it. Depression is commonplace among women because women are often angry at the conditions of their lives, at what they must do because they are women, at the way they are treated because they are women; and depression truly is anger turned inward. Depression is commonplace among women because a woman's life is often a series of dead ends, joy in which is the measure of femininity. A decade or two ago, doctors prescribed amphetamines with a reckless abandon. Now they are more cautious, and not only because amphetamines wreak havoc on the human body: amphetamines lead women away from femininity toward aggression, social dysphoria, and a paranoia that threatens the women's compliance as a sexual partner; tranquilizers and sleeping pills interfere much less with the female life as it should be lived, no matter how serious the addiction. Doctors justify the use of amphetamines—by those 12 million women users in one year, for instance—in terms of getting women thinner. Women get the drug by saying they want or need to be thinner no matter how thin they are; or doctors prescribe the drug without explanation as to its qualities and effects—especially they make no reference to its addictive nature and to the high it produces. The woman knows her value is in becoming what the man wants to have; she has no sense of self outside his evaluation of what she should be. Male doctors essentially share the same male values; and women accept their authority as men, not just as doctors. The woman's body is evaluated according to a sexual aesthetic, not according to a medical ethic. Amphetamines prescribed by a doctor reinforce the misogynist rule that a woman's only wealth is her body as an object; and that any act of self-destruction—like taking amphetamines—is both justified and sexually enhancing if it makes her what men want. Doctors accept and sometimes encourage this logic; doctors often subscribe to it and pass it on to women. If women are not thin, what are they? This is not a standard that can be applied to a respected or self-respecting individual or to a respected or self-respecting group; it is applied ruthlessly to women and it is not applied to men.

I’m here to (nicely) demand WIP quotes. 😊

Thank you @dreamstone28737 and how very kind of you to ask!

This is a bit from a story I keep telling myself I have to get done by Christmas...

----

"Okay, Ross, pick a name, from the pot," Demelza said and handed over the saucepan in which she’d placed the folded pieces of paper.

“This is the most perverse Secret Santa I’ve ever...” But he wasn’t going to argue--it seemed too important to her and he so wanted to make her happy. Gingerly he unfolded the slip of paper and saw the name scrawled across it: Prudie.

“Ha, ha! That means I get Verity,” she sang. “Hand me my mobile, Ross.”

“Now?”

“Why wait?” She called over her shoulder then glided--it was almost a skip--into the kitchen.

“Verity!” This clearly was a call for Facetime.

“Demelza! Merry Christmas--so glad you rang!” Verity cried. “We were just talking about you. Andy is thrilled by the toy horse and stable set you sent him. But you shouldn't have...”

“Oh that’s marvelous that he likes it. Please tell my favourite three year old that the next time he comes to Cornwall, we’ll all go for a ride together on a real horse.”

“He’d love that. Do you still ride?" Verity asked. "I know you’re so busy.”

“Yes, I did this morning in fact,” Demelza said coyly but didn’t mention where.

“You look fabulous by the way. Have you changed your hair?”

“No...” Demelza blushed, suspecting that her excitement might be causing her to glow. “But thank you--you look great too! Oh hi, Andrea!”

"Hiya, Love." Andrea popped into view for a moment and blew Demelza a kiss. "I’d talk more but I’m in the middle of making our dinner. Cheers!”

“Yes, isn’t it lovely?” Verity said with a twisted smile. “Andrea is making Christmas dinner for us.”

“Verity?” Demelza laughed lightly, detecting something Verity was reluctant to share.

“Well, we’re…we’re experimenting with vegetarianism,” Verity said sheepishly. “So it's a lentil and artichoke casserole.”

“That sounds delicious. And good for all of you,” Demelza said encouragingly. ”Send your favourite recipes my way.”

“And you? What are your plans for tonight?” Verity asked carefully.

“Oh we’re having goose. I’ve never cooked one before but there’s a first time for everything. It seems a lot for two people but we'll do our best!”

“For you and...Sam?” Verity asked then she seemed to hone in on the backdrop behind Demelza--the white washed stone wall, the old stove.

"Demelza?" Verity was unable to disguise the sheer panic in her voice. “Where are you?!”

“That smells amazing.” On cue, Ross strolled through the kitchen and lingered behind Demelza and her mobile. “Hi Verity! Hi Andrea! Merry Christmas,” he added, then kissed Demelza rather demonstratively on the neck before walking off screen.

“What? Ross?! Ross!” Verity cried. “Demelza! What on earth?! Tell me….are you at Nampara?”

“I am and it's been just perfect. Such a lovely place for Christmas, don’t you think? Next year you really do have to come spend it here with us.”

“With you and...you and Ross? Demelza? Does this mean you’re…?” Verity stammered.

“Yes, I’m afraid it does,” Demelza smiled her brightest smile to show there was nothing tentative about this reunion.

“Oh, my dear!! Oh, I can't believe it! Andrea! Ross and Demelza are back together!” she called over her shoulder. “Tell me, when did this happen?”

“It seems like ages already but it's really only been maybe two…”

“Two months? And you didn't tell us?”

“Erm…two days,” Demelza laughed.

“Oh,” Verity said cautiously.

“Verity, it’s been a truly wonderful two days.”

“Has it?”

“Yes. Wonderful and...meaningful. There’s no need to worry.”

“You’ll forgive me, I just don’t want to see either of you hurt again,” Verity explained.

“Neither do we, I assure you,” Demelza said.

“Oh Demelza, such good news.” Verity was crying tears of joy now. “Where is that idiot cousin of mine? Get him on this instant!”

“Of course. Ross darling, you are being summoned! Prepare to be grilled,” Demelza whispered.

“You absolute arsehole! What the hell are you playing at!! Not telling me? And I’m so happy for you. For you both,” Verity wept.

“I am too, Verity,” Ross said.
