A/n, this is the sequel to "Raising A Family" which is the sequel to "Rules of Attachment" I suggest you read those first if possible so you're not so confused. I'll do my best to explain any questions you have if you don't want to read the other two stories. Please R/R!

"Are you ready for you're first day at the BAU, Agent Hotchner?" Jack asked as he sat a plate of food in front of Savannah. They had been back from their honeymoon for two days and it was now time for them both to start their new jobs. Savannah was joining the BAU and he was starting his job as a criminal psychologist for the DC police department.
"Yeah, I'm nervous, but excited. It won't be the same now that Uncle Dave has finally officially retired. I know that Uncle Aaron and Aunt Emily will be retiring soon. I'm not sure how long Dad and Papa will stay on and I know Uncle Will has been trying to get Aunt JJ to retire. I'm not sure how the team will cope with so many changes," she worried. "I know that Anderson has been considered for the team and I think he'll take the position. He's come a long way from the agent he used to be," she mused.
"What about Aunt Penny?" her husband wanted to know.
"She'll out live us all, or she'll stay long enough to ensure she's taught Henry all she knows about being the world's most kick-ass computer tech."
"It's amazing what he can do with a computer," Jack commented. Savannah nodded as she took a bite of her scrambled eggs. Twenty minutes later found them sharing a goodbye kiss before heading off to their first day of their new jobs.

"I can't believe I start student teaching today," Lisa Jareau said as she talked to her boyfriend Nate Reid-Morgan as they both got ready in the apartment they shared with Nate's twin sister DJ and Lisa's brother Henry.
"I know you told me, but what grade are you student teaching in again?"
"Fourth grade, they still want to learn but are old enough to be able to do most things for themselves."
"I'm sure you'll do great and they'll love you," he assured.
"Thanks, good luck on your culinary arts test," she replied kissing him. The summer when they were 14, they hung out a lot and helped take care of Savannah, DJ, and Jason when they'd gotten sick. Surprising Nate loved to cook and that summer began a passion that still continued today. Due to his work in high school he'd been accepted into one of the best culinary schools in the area.
"I just hope I don't overcook the sauce this time."
"Just take a deep breath and read over the recipe. If you do that, you'll be fine," Lisa assured as she finished putting on her makeup. They were interrupted by a knock on the bathroom door.
"Are you two about done in there? Henry and I have to get to the academy," DJ said as she stood outside the door. Spitting out the toothpaste in his mouth, Nate spoke.
"Yeah, just a second. Opening the door he allowed the other two into brush their teeth and finish up getting ready for the day. He was proud of his baby sister. Ever since their parents had told them about how Savannah had been kidnapped when she was a baby, DJ had sworn she wanted to help rescue children from the same fate, so she'd chosen to go to the academy and try and get on with the Crimes Against Children Division. He knew she'd be great at that job.

As Sarah Hotchner and Jason Reid-Morgan shared one last kiss outside Sarah's dorm, Sarah thought about how much things had changed and at the same time how much they'd stayed the same. They were both in their second year of college at George Town. She was studying business and photography and Jason was currently undecided.
"Jay, I have to go to class," she said reluctantly as she pulled away. Jason frowned but let her go knowing if he didn't they would both be late and that definitely wasn't the way to start out a new year.
TBC?
A/n, I know this is short, but this is just a set-up chapter. They'll get longer.
