JJ ran a shaking hand through her hair, letting out a defeated sigh at the sounds of her jabbering children in the backseat. What were they supposed to do? No home, no clothes and no money.

The mother of two bit her lip as she looked down to the phone in her hand, her thumb quickly typing in her passcode. She'd have to stay at a friend's.

But who? Dave was having a romantic evening with Erin Strauss-ick-, Derek was most likely at a bar with one of his many girlfriends, Spencer and Penelope had gone to Comic Con for an entire week over in San Diego and Hotch was having his weekend with Jack while Haley was away.

That left Emily.

Emily Prentiss. The newest member of their team.

JJ knew the brunette had two boys from a previous boyfriend, but other than that, the two women didn't have that much time to talk. Knowing each other for only eight months, JJ knew next to nothing about the older woman.

The blond rolled her eyes at her own hesitance before quickly punching in the older woman's number, glancing back at her children before she set the phone to her ear. "Sophie don't you hit your brother."

The six month old looked to her mother, a spit bubble hanging from her bottom lip.

"Hi, this is Emily. Leave your name and number at the beep, thanks."

JJ groaned before throwing her phone into the passenger seat. She shook her head before starting her car once more, glancing out over her shoulder before pulling out into the street. "Ok guys, time to go visit your Auntie Emmy."

The car pulled up to a beautiful three story ranch house ten minutes later. JJ quickly unbuckled Henry and let him jump out of the car before she lifted her daughter into her arms and walking up to the front door. A deep breath and two rolls of the shoulders later, the blond mother knocked on the newest team member's front door.

"Coming!"

"Terrance no! Do not open that door."

"But mommy!"

"I said no young man."

JJ felt a nervous smile spread over her face when the brunette popped up in her line of sight. "Hi."

Emily smiled wide at the younger woman. "JJ hi!" She grinned down to the blonde's children, holding Terrance to her side. "Hey. You guys are getting so big."

Henry quickly held up his hand. "I'm five!"

Terrance smiled to the boy before him. "Me too!"

Emily laughed before looking back to her co-worker. "So what are you doing here?"

JJ did her best not to sniffle as she shamefully glanced down to the floor. "Can we come in?"

The brunette's smile immediately disappeared, finally noticing the younger woman's swollen eyes as red face, and she gently nodded her head. "Of course. Come inside."
