Meddling Mischief Makers

A/N: I know I should be updating The Best Week of Her Life, but once this idea took hold I had to go with it. This one is a little strange because it involves the whole team, and other couplings…
Enjoy! And reviews are always welcomed. :)
Part 1: The Set Up
"Shhhh, you need to be quiet or else they will hear you!" The woman stated before she continued, "So do we know the plan?"
"Yes." All four of her disciples answered, some with enthusiasm and others begrudgingly.
"Are you sure we should do this?" One asked her.
"Of course, now let's get to it!" She said with a sparkle in her eyes.

"Mommy!" Henry yelled as he ran in to his mother's room, and jumped on her bed, "Can I go play with Jack today? Pretty please!"
JJ couldn't help but smile at her four year old, "Alright Henry, let's go call Hotch and see."
Henry rushed out of the room to find his mother a phone, as he came barrelling back into her room he squealed with glee, "Here Mommy! I needs to talk to Jack!"
"Okay Buddy, how about you get dressed and I'll make the call. Just remember, even if Jack can't play today we will still go to the park," hoping her young son could avoid disappointment.
JJ dialled Hotch's number hoping that he would be able to come over today with Jack, so they could all spend it together. She was brought form her musing when Hotch's voice snapped, "What?" over the phone. He was obviously was stressed out.
"Hey Hotch, its JJ. Are you alright?" She asked obviously concerned.
"Yes, well no. I just can't seem to find someone to watch Jack."
"Oh, I was calling to see if you and Jack wanted to come over for the day. Henry's dying to see him," she replied.
"Really? You were next on my list. And would it be okay if it was just Jack today?"
"Yeah, that's fine."
Hotch continued, "I just got called in to the office for some meeting with the director. And Jess is out of town, Garcia is with Kevin and Rossi is not picking up his phone."
"It's no problem, just bring him over," JJ said hoping that Hotch would not catch the saddness in her voice because he was unable to join them.
"Thank you so much JJ, I owe you. Next sleepover night, Henry can come here."
"Don't worry about it Hotch. See you soon."
"Bye."
xXxXxXx
"Jack, get your bag packed!" Hotch called out to his seven year old son, "You are going over to JJ and Henry's."
"Yes," Jack cheered, "See Daddy, we should have called her first. I tolded you that."
"Yeah, yeah. You were right."
"This is awesome! I really need to see Henry." Jack openly stated.
"And why's that?"
Jack looked at his father, wondering how he could not know, "Dad, Henry is like my little brother. I need to teach him stuff."
"So hurry up so we can go," Hotch was getting antsy because he was already late for his meeting. He was supposed to be there at ten, and was already after ten.
Jack immediately scampered off to his room and quickly returned with a day bag packed. "I'm ready to go Daddy!" Hotch couldn't help but chuckle and his sons excitement, as they put oh their jackets to got to JJ's.

A knock came on JJ's door and she pulled it open to see the two Hotchner men standing, waiting to be let inside.
"Hey guys, come on in," JJ said with a smile.
"Thanks again JJ," Hotch replied, "I'm sorry to just drop him off and go, but I'm already late. We will get together some time later."
"It's no problem Hotch, I'll talk to you later," she called as she shut the door behind her boss. She would have to catch up with him later.
"Henry, Jack's here!" JJ yelled to her son, and then to Jack said, "Just head on to his room." The young boy sprinted off to be with his friend.
JJ shook her head at the boy's antics. She began to fold laundry, hoping to get a few chores done before the boys wanted to head to the park. She managed to work for about half an hour before the phone rang interrupting her chores.
She picked it up, "Hello?"
"Hey Peaches!" the voice of Penelope Garcia came over the line.
JJ could just imagine Garcia's grin, "Hey, I thought you were with Kevin today?"
"I am," The bubbly blonde continued, "but Hotch accidently called me, thinking it was you. He said that you are needed at the BAU. Oh hey, that rhymed!"
"Why?" JJ wondered out loud.
"I'm not too sure, just that the director wanted to see you as well," Garcia explained, "He would have called himself, but he was already delaying the meeting."
"Alright," JJ sighed, "I guess I'm going to have to find someone to watch the boys."
"Boys?"
"Yeah, Jack is here too."
"Maybe you should try Emily," Garcia suggested.
"I think I will, Thanks Garcia." With that JJ said her goodbyes to her friend and hung up the phone. She was incredibly confused, why would she need to go to the BAU. If it was only superiors she shouldn't be there, but if Hotch needed her she would go.
xXxXxXx
Emily sighed, a sleep in had been just what she needed. She rolled over to look at her bed companion, just as her cell phone rang. "Oh please don't be a case," she mumbled to herself as she reached over and grabbed it off the night stand.
"Prentiss," she groaned into the phone.
"Hey, Em. How's it going?"
"Fine, and it would be great as long as we don't have a case."
JJ couldn't repress her laugh, "Don't worry, no case. But would you be able to do me a huge favour?"
"Yeah sure…" Emily replied suspiciously.
"Could you watch Jack and Henry this afternoon? Hotch and I have been called in by the director.
"Yeah, I love those two; bring them over in half an hour."
"Thanks Em," JJ replied, incredibly grateful Emily had agree.
"Yep, Bye." With that Emily hung up her phone and jumped out of bed. She quickly got dressed and yelled out, "Sorry babe, I got to go," to her still sleeping partner. She needed to get home before JJ made it to her house.
Twenty minutes later JJ was at Emily's door. Emily opened it up and was met with two little bodies hugging her legs. "Aunt Emmy!" Jack and Henry both shouted.
"Hey Jack, Henry and JJ," Emily added with a smile.
"Thanks for doing this Em. I owe you big," she said while also giving her friend a hug. "Now I must get going."
"It's fine. We will see you later. And don't worry we wont get too messy this time," Emily added wearing a grin that matched the two boys. The last time they had been together, they had tried to make cookies and most of it ended up all over JJ's house as well as their clothes.
"You better not," JJ said as she left to go to Quantico.
"So boys, what will the plan be for today?" Emily asked her two favourite trouble makers.
"We want Uncle Derek to come over!" Jack demanded.
Henry also contributed, "Yay! Uncle Derek gives the best piggy backs!"
"Okay," Emily said with a laugh, "Uncle Derek it is."
Emily sent Derek a text stating that his presence had been requested, and that he should get to her apartment as soon as possible. He agreed, it looked like no one could resist the charms of the two boys.
xXxXxXx
JJ arrived at Quantico as quickly as she could, without breaking any speeding laws. She rushed inside to see that the BAU was completely empty. She was about to call Hotch when she saw a typed note on her desk. JJ picked it up and it read JJ, MEETING CONFERENCE ROOM 3. –HOTCH.
JJ walked down the hall until she came to the door. She didn't hear anyone inside. So she decided to knock and when no reply came, JJ pushed open the door. She saw Hotch, we was gagged and tied to a chair.
She rushed inside, to free her friend. When she did so, the door shut behind her and they both heard the distinct sound of it being locked.
Part 2 should be up soon!
