The snow glittering on the branches of the trees was beautiful, JJ thought as she got ready for her date with Morgan. She loved Christmas time, the snow, all the decorations, and the music. The music was her favorite and she was humming along to "Joy to the World" while she was putting on her makeup. Her brother and his wife along with their two kids were in town and they had all celebrated Christmas together as a family that morning. Now Matt and Elaine had promised to watch Henry so Derek could take her out to dinner. Finishing her makeup, she grabbed her purse and headed down the stairs.

"Mama you so pwetty," Henry said as he stared at his mother.

"He's right," Derek crooned coming up to her and stealing a quick kiss. She was wearing a v-neck deep Sapphire blue satin dress that hugged her in all the right places with matching necklace and earrings. Those had all been a gift from him this Christmas.

"You look beautiful, baby sister," Matt said coming up and hugging her.

"Thanks you guys," the media liaison said blushing.

"You look like a princess, Auntie JJ, her six-year-old niece Natalie said. Four-year-old Amelia nodded. JJ smiled at her nieces before turning to Derek.

"You ready to go?"

"Yes, let's go, my love," he said taking her arm and guiding her to the closet where they grabbed their coats then out the door into the sparkling snow.

"Dinner was fantastic," JJ commented as she pushed her plate away.

"I'm glad you liked it. Are you ready for dessert?" Derek asked. Nodding, she picked up the dessert menu and, began reading.

"How about the Chocolate Overload Cake?" she suggested pointing to the confection.

"That's fine with me," he said waving their server over and placing the order. The dessert arrived at the table a few minutes later and they both dug in. After eating their fill, Derek asked for the check and paid.

"Did I tell you how handsome you are, tonight?" JJ asked trailing a finger down Derek's chest. He was wearing a white silk shirt and very well-fitting black pants.

"Thank you," he said kissing her sweetly. "What do you say to a brief walk before we head home?" he suggested. After glancing down at her shoes and deciding they were comfortable enough to walk for a bit, she accepted.

They'd been walking for a bit when Derek stopped her. Looking around, she noticed that they were in the park where they'd had their first date two years before. The snow was just as beautiful ever in that spot. Looking up she noticed that it had began to snow again.

"It's snowing again," she breathed. "It's so beautiful," she whispered.

"Not half as beautiful as you," Derek replied.

"Oh, Derek," JJ protested.

"I mean it. You're the most beautiful and amazing woman I've ever seen and had the pleasure to get to know. Before I started dating you, I never thought I would ever want to get married and settle down. Now, though, I'm definitely sure that's what I want to do." As he was speaking, he'd dropped to one knee and had pulled a velvet box out of his pocket. A gasp escaped the blonde's lips as she realized what he was about to do. "Will you marry me, Jennifer Nicole Jareau?"

"Yes!" she screamed throwing herself at him, nearly falling in the freshly falling snow. Smiling broadly, he caught her and slid the ring on her finger before kissing her senseless happy she'd said. This was definitely the best Christmas ever.

Finished!
