Authors Note: As most of you know, I deleted the other part 2 I had up because I started slacking with reviews and then stopped writing all together when I only got one review.

SOOO, here is the part 2 you guys deserve.

If you haven't already read the original 'Road Trip', I recommend you do, although, if you really don't want to, It doesn't matter that much.

"Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it. Sex in the air I don't care, I love the smell of it. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me.." JJ sang quietly.

"What are you listening to?" Derek retorted, JJ looked over at him and noticed him looking at her. She suspected he had said something, then she took her ear buds out.

"Did you say something?" she asked.

"Yeah," Derek said. "I asked what you were listening to." he said, JJ squinted her eyes in confusion, why would he ask me what I'm listening to..? Then she realized she had the tendency to sing without realizing.

"Sorry.." she said as she put her iPod in her bag. "Was I singing loud?" she asked, Derek raised his eyebrows at her, JJ looked over at him. "What?"

"Nothing." he said as he looked back at the road and smiled. "I just didn't know you listen to that kinda stuff." he said with a shrug, JJ raised her eyebrows.

"What? Now because I had a kid, I've magically aged 20 years?" she asked as she pulled a map out.

"No, what? No!" Derek said as he looked at her, trying not to make her hit him again, she seemed to love to do that. "I mean 'chains and whips, sex in the air' kinda stuff. I didn't know you were into stuff like that." he said with a smirk, JJ smirked at him and shook her head.

"What? You don't think I'm into sex in the air or chains and whips? Come on." she said as she looked at the map, Derek just chuckled and shook his head while liking his lips. "I think you're supposed to turn right onto Applewood Street." JJ told him. "We're on 122, right?" Derek looked at her trying to look at the map.

"Uh.. JJ, why don't you use yahoo maps or something?"

"Because I didn't want to." JJ answered as she looked at the road, then the map. "Turn right there." she told him as she pointed, Derek turned right once the road came up. "And her house is on Oak Lane... should be on the left and the number is 23, and the house is on the left." JJ said, Derek nodded as they both searched for the house.

"Why are we here and JJ and Morgan aren't here?" Rossi asked as he dropped a case file on the table, him and Hotch were doing the job JJ would be doing if she were there.

"You complaining, Dave?" Hotch asked, Rossi glanced up and raised his eyebrows at him.

"No." he said as he shook his head. "I just don't think it's fair, that's all. We're taking a whole week off next week." he said with a shrug, Hotch chuckled.

"Well, JJ asked for this day off and Derek called in for a personal day."

"How many personal days does that kid have left?"

"2." Hotch answered, Derek did take a lot of personal days, but if there was a case he dropped everything to get to it.

"Hello my furry friends." Penelope said with an abnormally large smile on her face, even for Penelope.

"Did you have her drug tested yet?" Rossi asked, Penelope squinted her eyes at him.

"No need." Penelope said as she walked over and dropped some case files onto the table that she was asked to look some information up on. "So Rossi.." she said as him and Hotch both reached for the files she set down to double check her work, Actually Hotch was double checking, Rossi was just curious on the information she cooked up.

"Yes Garcia." he mumbled without looking up.

"You remember that road trip JJ and Derek planned last year?" Penelope asked slyly as she took a step closer to him. Rossi closed the file.

"No." he obviously lied as he picked up another one.

"Oh come on Rossi!" Penelope said with a small whine as she stomped her foot on the ground, Hotch chuckled. "It's going to be a blast.." she said, Rossi just shook his head. He had no intention what so over of spending his vacation with his team. "Why not?" she asked.

"I've gotta plane ticket out of here tomorrow morning." he said, Penelope smiled.

"Cool, where are you going?" she asked with a big smile.

"Somewhere very far away." he sang, Penelope pouted and looked at Hotch.

"Don't look at me. He wont even tell me." he said, Rossi smiled happily to himself, Penelope pouted. "You gonna head out?" Hotch finally asked.

"Yeah," Penelope said. "Reid just left a couple minutes ago. See you tomorrow Hotch!" she said with a big smile. "See you in a week Rossi." she said with a pout as she walked out, Rossi looked at Hotch.

"What?" he asked, Rossi shook his head and dropped a case file onto the others.

"Nothing, nothing." he said. "I'm going to leave, too." he said, Hotch nodded. "I hope you have a week full of fun!" Rossi said with a fake smile as he walked out, Hotch chuckled to himself and shook his head.

"I hope it's not too late to back out.." he thought out loud, but he was sort of being sarcastic. The whole team has gotten so much closer since their last trip to Miami last year and even if he knew Emily wasn't going to be there, he still wanted to go.

"Em!" JJ said as she jumped down from the car and hugged Emily as tight as she could, Emily laughed, JJ seemed like a daughter who was just seeing her mother for the first time, that's how Emily thought of it anyway.

"Let 'er breathe, Jayje." Derek chuckled from the drivers seat as he shook his head, Emily rolled her eyes and pulled away from Emily.

"Sorry, Em... we just haven't seen each other in a while ever since you moved out here it's been hard to..." JJ said, Emily looked at her. Emily moved out to the FBI headquarters in Philadelphia 6 months ago.

"I know.." Emily said, she hated this conversation, she needed to leave the BAU and everyone knew it. After their first road trip and her and Hotch got close after they got back, then Emily decided to break things off. No one was really sure why, but Emily knew exactly why. After about a month of being separated, Emily decided to leave because of the tension between her and Hotch."Should I put my bag in the back?" she asked Derek.

"Yeah," Derek said as he pressed the button to open the rear hatch to the trunk. "It's open." Emily smiled and brought a two of her three bags over to the back to throw them in. JJ grabbed the duffel bag that was on the floor.

"You don't have to help..." Emily said as JJ walked over.

"It's fine." JJ said as she shook her head and put the bag in the car. "I need to since Derek wont be a gentleman and help out." she said as she put the duffel bag down in the back and looked at him in the front seat, Derek smiled and chuckled as he saluted her.

"I'm on vacation." was all he said as he leaned back in the seat, JJ rolled her eyes as she looked at Emily, who just laughed and shook her head.

"Wow, Jayje, rockin' the shorts." Emily said with a laugh as they walked back over to the doors after shutting the trunk. "And how long ago did you give birth?" she asked, as she laughed again, JJ rolled her eyes. She only gave birth 4 months ago, but she looks the same as she did before she got pregnant. JJ looked out the window as Derek drove away. "You leaving Henry with your mom?" Emily asked, JJ nodded.

"Yeah, she was actually begging me to let her watch him since I was out of work for 3 months, then when I got back I hardly went on the cases and I stayed back with Garcia most of the time, so she only visited... I am going to start going with them again next month though.." she explained. "But she likes having a baby around, it keep her young." she said, Emily nodded.

"So... why didn't Hotch want to come?" Emily asked curiously, she wanted to know. But if Hotch was going to go, she probably would have made up some lame excuse as to why she wasn't going to make it. Derek and JJ exchanged a look, then JJ shrugged and looked at her.

"I don't know, he's a party pooper anyway, why would we want him to come along?" JJ asked, Emily scoffed and laughed as she looked out the window.

"No kidding." she said, JJ looked at Derek and Derek gave her an 'I don't know' face. JJ let out a sigh, she felt bad for lying to the both of them, but they needed to talk again. She looked out the window.

This is going to be interesting...
