Author's Note: This story came to me today and I just had to write it. It may be multiple chapters. I don't know why I picked the name Samantha. I just liked it I guess.

Biological Parents

"Are you serious Morgan?" Emily asked, pulling the rubber hand out of the drawer of her desk in the bullpen. She glared at Morgan who was grinning from ear to ear.

"Yeah, actually I am Princess. And guess where I got the rubber hand from?" Morgan answered.

"Let me guess, Garcia." Emily asked, tossing the rubber hand that was covered in fake blood into the garbage can.

"Of course she did." Morgan smiled, thinking about the blonde, bubbly technical analyst who was his partner in crime in the BAU prank war that had been going on lately.

Most of the pranks were escalated at Emily and Reid, of course. Reid was plain confused whenever he got pranked, but then launched into a whole discussion about where pranks originated and are common.

"So, Morgan." Emily began." Do you really think that you can scare a Federal Agent who sees real blood and dissected body parts every single day?"

"Actually, I just wanted to annoy you "Morgan answered happily. "I have a great prank for Reid if you want to watch".

"Yeah sure. Poor kid. Never knows what's coming" Emily said just as a woman dressed in a black business suit entered the BAU. She then approached Emily and cleared her throat to speak.

"Agent Emily Prentiss?" the woman said in a loud, clear voice. She tossed a piece of dark, straight hair behind her ear as she studied Emily carefully.

"Can I help you?" Emily asked as Morgan stalked off to finish his case files. The woman looked like she as in her mid -thirty's with black shiny hair, bright green eyes and tanned skin. She reminde Emily of a super model.

"Yes. My name is Alicia Wession. Can I speak with you and your boss, Agent Aaron Hotchner, for a moment?" she asked confidently.

"Can I ask why?" Emily asked, studying the younger woman with a confused yet curious look on her face.

"Not until I can speak with both of you together. Please. It is a personal matter involving the two of you" Alicia answered.

"I'll go get him" Emily responded. "Follow me please". Both women made their way up to Hotch's office. Emily knocked at the door and heard "Come in" from her boss.

"Hotch?" Emily asked upon entering her boss's office, Alicia close behind, "This woman here would like to talk to both of us in private."

"Alicia Wession", Alicia began as she introduced herself. "I assume that you are Agent Aaron Hotchner and I already met your subordinate, Emily Prentiss. I am from an adoption center nearby".

"Adoption center?" Emily asked as she closed the door and then glanced at Hotch, who looked like he was ready to ask the same question.

"Yes "Alicia replied. "This is about your sixteen year old daughter, Samantha. She was recently moved to a mental hospital and I thought as her biological parents, you would like to know."

"You must be mistaken" Hotch said in a somewhat nervous voice. "Agent Prentiss and I don't have a daughter. In fact, I don't have a daughter at all. I only have one son that I had with my ex-wife."

"Exactly", Emily responded. "Hotch is my boss and he has always been". Just the thought of having a daughter with Hotch brought a weird feeling to her stomach.

"Apparently, that isn't the case. Here is her birth certificate right here" Alicia replied, pulling a piece of paper out of her somewhat large black bag that was hanging off of her shoulder.

Both agents looked blankly at the piece of paper in Alicia's hand. Hotch was the first to reach for the paper. He read it silently while Emily peered over his shoulder to see the birth certificate.

It said Samantha's name, date of birth and finally biological parents. In the space provided, it said the mother and father's names. Both agent's eyes went wide when they saw the names Aaron Hotchner and Emily Prentiss in the spaces on the certificate.
