1. Introduction to the Team

Disclaimer i dont own anything except the character "Neveah" everything else belongs to criminal minds

I take a deep breath before pulling open the heavy doors of the Bureau and walk confidently into the bullpen of the Behavioral Analysis Unit where my parents, Aaron Hotchner and Jennifer Jareau worked, along with Agents Derek Morgan and Emily Prentiss, Doctor Spencer Reid, and Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia. My parents have worked for the BAU for well over 20 years, so I was practically raised among the team and considered them my aunts and uncles.

I mount the stairs and pause in front of my father's office before knocking softly, after a moment I hear my father's deep voice, "Come in." I push the door open and smiles softly, "Hey daddy." He looks up and a rare grin spreads across his face as he jumps up and comes over to embrace me tightly. "Hey sweetheart, I'm glad you made it here safely."

Meanwhile, down in the bullpen, the rest of the team begins murmuring amongst themselves. "I think that's our little Neveah," Derek remarks, "Except she's not so little anymore." Spencer looks at him, "Well duh, of course she's not little anymore Morgan, she's well into her adult years." Emily laughs, "Reid, he means that it seems like it wasn't that long ago since she was a little girl and now she's all grown up."

Back in my father's office, he smiles at me, "Are you sure you're ready for this Neveah? It's going to be a lot of work." I quickly nod my head, "Yes dad I'm ready." I turn at the sound of a knock and smile upon seeing my mother enter the room. "Mama!!" I run over to her and hug her tightly which she instantly returns, "Neveah!! I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow!! It's good to see you." I smile and kiss her cheek, "I wanted to surprise you both. Plus I'm ready to start my new career here in the BAU!" Both my parents chuckle and my father stands, "Well then, let's get you introduced to the team and get started." He steps out of the office and heads down to an empty desk, "This will be your desk Neveah." He points to Emily, "Your deskmate and partner is Agent Emily Prentiss," He then points out each member, but I stop him laughing, "Dad, did you forget I was practically raised around this team since I was very young?" He laughs and hugs me, "Yes, yes I did. Well let's get started. We got a case to brief."
