Emily walked down the hallway with a case folder in her right hand and coffee in her left. It was earlier than usual, but Adylia had to be at school at 7:30. Emily walked through the bull pen and sat down at her desk starting her paper work right away. She was so focused on the cases, she hadn't seen Hotch or Rossi walk in, but when she heard their voices, she looked up to see them staring at her with confused expressions.

"Why are you here so early, Prentiss?" Hotch asked looking at his watch.

"Oh, I had to drop off Adylia at school. Today was her first day in Middle School, so she had to be in at 7:30." Emily answered.

"Oh, her big adjustment. How do you think she'll do?" Rossi asked smiling. Emily smiled back.

"Well..." Emily laughed. "I guess we'll see."

"Hey guys!" JJ greeted walking into the bull pen with a cup of coffee. "How'd things go with Addy this morning Em?" She asked the older agent. Emily sat back in her seat and sighed.

"I'm not really sure. I think she was scared." Emily paused taking her pen and twirling it around her finger. "But like me, she tried to hide it." JJ laughed at this knowing how horrible Emily was at hiding her emotions. She used to be good at it, but when Adylia got older she softened up a lot.

Adylia Prentiss was the social butterfly in the school. Everyone knew her. Not only was she smart, but she was gorgeous. Her long brown almost black hair reached to the middle of her back. It always looked well kept. Her slender body wasn't too small, but yet it wasn't too big. She was well proportioned. Her big brown eyes always looked bright and happy. She was popular in school because her mom, Emily Prentiss, worked for the FBI.

When her mom dropped her off, she walked cautiously to the front doors of the school. She was greeted with students in the hallway talking about their summers and how excited they were to be in the new school again. Adylia found her friend Hannah and walked over.

"Addy! I missed you!" Hannah cried hugging her friend. Then she let go and pouted at her, "You never called me back!"

"I'm sorry! My mom was always working and she made me go with her! She thought some murderer was gonna come and kill me." Adylia paused then busted out laughing. Hannah joined in. After a few minutes, they began talking about their summers until the bell for school to start rang.

Adylia walked into the bullpen after school and threw her bag down beside her mother's desk. Emily looked up and smiled.

"Hey baby girl. How was school?" Adylia gave her mom a hug then a kiss.

"Good. I have nice teachers and Hannah is in most of my classes." She sat down in the chair beside her mother.

"That's good. What's your schedule like?"

"Well I have English first, then Gym. Third I have History. Fourth I have Art. Then fifth is Science and sixth I have-"

"Prentiss," Hotch called. "Conference room. We have a case!" Prentiss nodded and got up out of her seat. She was about to leave when Adylia wrapped her arms around her mother.

"Mommy," she whispered. "Be safe." Emily kissed her daughter on the top of the head.

"I will."

"I love you."

"I love you too, angel face." They let go and Emily went down to the conference room while Adylia went down to Garcia's Lair.
