Thank you for your reviews so far, hope you continue to enjoy:)

If Garcia held up one more pink fluffy skirt in front of Emily she was going to smack her. "Garcia, I am not wearing any of this." She growled.

"Emily, come on!" Garcia wined. "Henry and Jack are boys, girls clothes are so much cuter and there's so much more of them! Unless one of you pops out a little girl anytime soon, this is the only time I'll get to do this. Please?"

Emily glared at Garcia while Reid came out of the dressing room, clad in the exact same clothes he usually wore. Even Emily had to admit, it looked adorable on him as a pint sized boy. Garcia squealed with delight. He immediately sat down and began mismatching socks, pulling on one green one and one blue one. Emily hoped that Reid would be enough of a distraction. No such luck. Garcia bounded back over and shoved a bunch of clothes into her hands before pushing her into the dressing room.

"Try them all on and I promise I'll try to find something else you normal looking." She yelled through the door.

Emily sighed and picked through the clothes, finding the most neutral items she could find, she began to change. When she walked out Garcia almost broke her eardrums. "I'm not buying all these Garcia. I will let you pick one of these, I'm finding the rest." She stated firmly. Garcia pouted but agreed. Emily headed off in search of the least obnoxious clothes she could find. Reid followed along behind her.

"You're not going to be too much longer are you? I want to go back and finish my paperwork."

"Reid, I am not gonna wear that frilly crap, help me find something normal and we can go. I don't want to be here any more than you."

"Okay!" Reid skipped over and began pulling shirts and pants down. A saleswoman walked over to them and smiled.

"You're little brother is so cute." She gushed.

"He's not my..." Emily shot a look over her shoulder at Reid and sighed. She was not supposed to draw attention to herself. Act like a child. "He's annoying." Emily said. She had always wanted a sibling, but she was pretty sure most girls would find their kid brother annoying. It sounded like the right response.

"Oh, come on, he's adorable and so are you." She smiled bent down to Emily's level. It took all her restraint not to smack the condescending smile off her face. "Do you need help with anything?"

"No, I got it." Emily said, snatching a black t-shirt and walking over to Reid. Knowing the saleswoman was still watching, she grabbed Reid's hand and pulled him away back to the dressing rooms.

"Slow down!" Reid yelled. "My legs are short now!"

"Sorry, I just wanna get out of here." Emily apologized. Catching sight of Garcia she sighed in relief. "Okay, I found some stuff, Reid's good, can we pay and leave now?"

"Yes, but I bought both of you a surprise."

Emily and Reid shared a panicked look.

"Oh relax you two, come on." Garcia took their clothing up to the cashier and paid, the two of them following behind. Emily had to admit, it was a relief to be wearing clothes that fit. They carried their bags out to Garcia's car and climbed in. Reid went on and on about how unsafe they both were and kept announcing when he saw red lights. Emily watched Garcia grit her teeth for the fifth time and smacked him on the arm.

"Shut up, I'm not sitting in a car seat and you're gonna make us get in an accident if you don't leave her alone."

"Hotch is getting me one. I have no intentions of dying simply because of my temporary size." Reid said.

"Well, good for Hotch. I'm not sitting in one."

"I told him to make JJ get you one."

"She's not gonna do that."

"She probably will, if she cares about your safety, which she does."

Emily's eyes widened. "She wouldn't dare."

Reid just smirked while Garcia tried not to laugh.

The three of them headed back into the BAU after depositing Reid's new clothes in Hotch's car and Emily's in JJ's. She refused to tell them what the surprise clothes were. Morgan laughed at the sight of them but held his tongue once JJ kicked him from under the table. Emily and Reid both began to climb onto their desks to fill out their paperwork.

"Guys." JJ whispered. "You can't do it here remember? Hotch said you can use the conference room."

Emily sighed and climbed down, trying to lift her stack of folders. Reid was having even more trouble than her. Rossi shared a look with JJ and Morgan before standing and grabbing Reid's files just before he dropped them. "Why don't we all head in there?" He asked. Emily was about to protest about being treated differently but he continued before she had the chance. "Its hot down here, and Anderson is driving me nuts." Anderson held his arms up in protest but Rossi ignored him. Stacking his own files on top of Reid's he walked up the stairs, the tiny boy genius following behind him. JJ moved to help Emily but stopped when the brunette glared at her.

"I can carry papers myself." Emily insisted. Realizing her friend was just trying to help, she softened her voice. "Thanks though, I got it."

JJ nodded and followed Emily and Morgan up the stairs. Garcia had gotten them all coffee, and much to Reid and Emily's horror, had declined from getting them some. "Coffee is bad for little kids. I don't want to ruin your brains or something."

Reid stared at every one of his team members in horror. Emily just looked annoyed but went back to her files. She realized she didn't actually have the urge to drink the coffee, but Reid looked like someone had just killed his puppy in front of him. "I need coffee." He stated in as calm of a voice as he could muster.

"Reid...you are four years old." Morgan reminded him.

"I am thirty years old!" Reid yelled. "AND I DEMAND TO BE ALLOWED TO HAVE COFFEE."

Six heads turned and looked at the tiny boy in shock. They had all seen Reid angry before, even testy and a little mean, but no one had ever seen him scream like that. He looked livid and very much like a four year old in the middle of a tantrum. No one said a word, they were all too shocked. Hotch walked down the hall and stuck his head into the conference room.

"Reid..." He said calmly. "Is something wrong?"

Reid turned to Hotch, his face still bright red with anger. "They won't give me any coffee!" He accused. "I am not really four Hotch, I demand to be allowed to have coffee."

Hotch looked and Reid and then up at the rest of his team. They were all silent, waiting to see what would happen. Emily was watching Reid in fascination. "Reid, Garcia and Morgan are right..." Hotch began. Reid's face grew redder and he jumped out of his seat, running at Hotch and trying to get past him. Hotch caught him and held him in place easily. "Wait, you didn't let me finish." He said gently. Reid's little body was shaking with anger. Hotch had never seen him like this and it worried him. "They are right, it probably isn't good for you...but if you want it...you can have one cup a day alright? One. And not one huge mug either, one normal sized mug."

Reid glared at him but calmed down considerably. He took a deep breath. "For the record, I do not approve of this, but okay." Reid walked back over to his seat, hopped up and bent over his files. When no one moved or said a word he looked up. "What?"

"Nothing." Rossi said before Morgan could speak, I'm getting a refill, anyone else want one?"

"I would like a cup please." Reid asked.

"You got it, Emily?" Rossi asked. The brunette shook her head and kept writing. Rossi walked out of the conference room with Hotch. "Well that was..."

"Very unlike Reid." Hotch finished for him.

"Do you think we should be worried about this?"

"I'm worried about all of it Dave, they're in children's bodies and clearly they are going to act like children. That was a typical temper tantrum and he bounced back just as quickly as most little kids would. I've seen Jack do it a million times. This is what the doctor warned us about, we're just going to have to find some balance between treating them like themselves and taking care of them."

"This is going to be a very interesting two weeks." Rossi muttered.

"Lets pray its not actually two weeks." Hotch said with a small smile. "Are you guys almost done?"

"Yeah, probably another hour or so."

"Alright, tell Reid to come find me when he's done, once your finished, everyone is dismissed." Hotch walked back into his office. He had extra paperwork prepping the other teams on his case files. He wasn't thrilled about the time off, but he was going to take advantage of it and spend as much time with Jack – and apparently Reid – as he could.

Rossi returned to the conference room and gave Reid his coffee, he greedily sipped it and cried out when he burned his tongue. "Spence." JJ said lovingly. He glared at her and bent back over his files, writing furiously. JJ didn't take it personally and went back to her own work, yawning. She hadn't gotten a very good night's sleep and Henry had been in a horrible mood that morning. His horrible mood had put Emily into a horrible mood and Will was very sympathetic when he left. He offered to stick around a little longer and try to help, but JJ knew having him around would only make Emily feel more uncomfortable considering the situation. He told her to call if she needed anything and she promised.

After about an hour had passed, the team had finished up their casework and were dispersing. Reid ran off to Hotch's office and curled up with a book to wait while the team leader finished his work. Not before reminding JJ about the safety concerns regarding children under the age of eight and car seats. Emily luged at him, but luckily Morgan caught her in midair. She let out a string of curses and threats involving a loss of his genitals if he didn't put her down that instant. Morgan roared with laughter and held her out in front of him easily. She kicked as hard as she could and he teased her.

"Morgan, come on that's enough." JJ scolded. Emily looked close to tears. Seeing he had gone a little too far Morgan apologized and set her down. Angrily, Emily stalked away from him and stood very close to JJ.

Rossi nodded to them all and headed home as Garcia bounded back over to them. "So, what's the plan?" She asked.

"The plan?" JJ asked as she gathered her things.

"We have a two week vacation! We have to do something fun!"

'"Garcia..." JJ said nodding her head over at Emily. "I don't think we're really up for your normal kind of fun."

"I wasn't suggesting we take a six year old to a bar, we should do fun things with her and Reid!"

"Fun things like what?" Emily asked, flipping her hair out of her coat. "And I'm not six."

Garcia shrugged. "Playground, amusement park, circus, disney world, the world is our oyster, we've got two whole weeks."

Morgan looked skeptical, but game; Garcia looked ecstatic, and JJ frowned. Emily looked up at all three of them and raised her eyebrows in confusion. "I want to take a bath and have a glass of wine, not go to some stupid park. Garcia, just because I look six, doesn't mean I am. I have no intentions of playing for two weeks. I'm going to call that doctor and bug the crap out of her until she figures out how to fix me." Emily walked away from the group and into the elevator. JJ waved goodbye telling Garcia to call her and chased after Emily, catching the elevator just in time.

"Em, I'm your ride." JJ reminded her.

"Sorry." Emily sighed. "I forgot."

"Its okay." JJ smiled. "We've got three hours until I have to pick up Henry from daycare, want to do something fun?"

"If you say take me to a park I swear to god."

JJ laughed and gently shoved Emily's shoulder. "No, I wasn't gonna say that. I dunno, go get a late lunch or something? You hungry?"

"Yeah, that sounds good." Emily smiled genuinely for the first time JJ could remember since this whole ordeal had began. JJ couldn't help but think how incredibly adorable her friend was. She was fully aware that this was Emily, her adult friend, but she looked so little and cute. This was going to be a very odd two weeks.

JJ and Emily walked into the restaurant. Emily walked up to the hostess without a second thought. "Table for two please?"

The woman grinned down at her. "You are adorable. Having lunch out with your mom?"

Emily looked thoroughly confused and looked around for her mother before realizing the woman meant JJ. "She's not my mother." Emily responded.

JJ quickly stepped closer to her. "She's my niece."

"Oh, fun, well follow me." The woman grabbed two menus and led them to the back. JJ looked down at Emily and made a face, causing her friend to laugh. They took their seats and JJ passed the menu over to Emily.

"Thanks, Aunt JJ." Emily said with a grin. JJ kicked her lightly under the table.

"Can I get you guys anything to drink to start?"

"Just water please?" JJ asked.

"Same for me." Emily said. The woman nodded and headed off while the girls looked over their menus. Emily was silent for a minute or two, deciding what she wanted and setting the menu on the table. Emily watched JJ, kicking her feet back and forth before realizing she was doing it and stopped. It was incredibly odd to be six years old again. Emily had to admit, she had a lot of weird thoughts and urges that a normal adult wouldn't have. She got angry much quicker than usual, impatient, bored, her attention span was horrible, and right now, she really wanted to ask the waitress for a chocolate milkshake. All of it embarrassed her and she tried very hard not to voice it or acknowledge it in any way.

JJ caught Emily watching her and smiled lightly. "What's up Em?" She asked casually.

Emily shrugged. "Nothing."

The waitress came back and took their orders, and gushed over Emily. "She's so well spoken, how old is she?"

"She's for...six and she's right here." Emily said in an annoyed tone. The waitress didn't catch it but JJ did. Once she was out of sight Emily sighed in frustration. "I'm sorry JJ. I'm being a total bitch...this just really sucks."

"Emily, I understand. No one is mad at you."

"I'm sorry about this morning."

"Em, you hardly did anything, Henry can be a little terror all on his own, its already forgotten." JJ said waving it off. "This is weird for everyone and I'll bet your emotions are going to get the better of you again at some point, its not a big deal. We might as well make the most of it."

Emily snorted as the waitress brought them their food. "What'd ya mean?"

JJ took a bite of her pasta and laughed at Emily's distain. "I mean – and don't snap at me – that from what you've told me over the years, you didn't have the greatest childhood." JJ paused momentarily at the look Emily shot her, but the brunette remained silent and waited for JJ to finish. "This could be some weird second chance. Reid's in the same boat as you, of all of us you two...well, you've both got families now – us – and why not take advantage of it?"

Emily stared at JJ in awe. "What, let you and Hotch take me to the park? Play on swings, giggle like an idiot? Call you mommy and daddy? JJ that's insane."

"No, I don't mean that, I mean...I mean enjoy the fact that you have a two week vacation with no responsibilities and friends who want to help. Myself included."

Emily sighed and gave JJ a light smile. "Yeah, I guess." She relented. JJ internally beamed, happy to have gotten through to her friend, if at least temporarily. The two of them finished their food then headed back to the car to go pick up Henry. "Let's be clear on one thing though, I am not riding in a car seat."

"Fine, but you are staying in the back seat at all times." JJ said firmly.

"Fine."

JJ grinned at pulled out of the parking lot.

When they arrived at Henry's daycare, the three year old yelled happily and ran into JJ's arms. Usually, Emily found him adorable – and she still did – but her first thought had been jealously. She had no idea why, but she wanted to shove Henry out of the way and get a hug from JJ herself. Shaking her head at the completely irrational thought she grabbed Henry's bag and went to stand by the door while JJ helped Henry with his shoes. JJ picked Henry up and walked back over to Emily. "Thanks for getting his bag Em." She smiled. Emily just shrugged and followed JJ out.

"Why is she here again?" Henry asked. Emily frowned and kicked a rock as they walked.

"She's here because she's going to stay with us for a little while, its going to be lots of fun!" JJ said as she buckled Henry into his seat. The little boy looked skeptical. "Guess what little man?" JJ asked.

"What?"

"I am on vacation!"

"Really? No work?"

"No work." JJ nodded, giving Emily a smile as the brunette climbed into the back next to Henry and buckled herself in.

As JJ drove them home, Henry stared at Emily. She shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. "What?" She asked, working very hard not to sound angry. She never used to be angry at Henry, she always found him irresistibly adorable.

"I have a friend named Emily too. Mommy's friend. You look kinda like her." He said.

Emily quickly looked up and caught JJ's eyes in the rearview mirror. "Oh, cool." She said casually.

"Do you know her?" He asked. "My Emily?"

Emily grinned, yep, he was back to adorable. "Yeah, I think I've met her once or twice."

"How do you know my mommy?"

Emily looked at JJ again as the car stopped and the blonde quickly jumped in. "From work, Emily and her...cousin Reid are staying here for a few weeks while their parents are away for work. That's how we know her."

"Oh, cool, do you wanna see my dump trucks?" Henry asked as JJ lifted him out of the car.

Emily sighed. Playing with trucks did not sound appealing at all but she knew it would make JJ's life a hell of a lot easier if she kept Henry occupied for a little while. It was the least she could do after yelling at everyone all day long. "Sure Henry, trucks sounds great." She took his hand and let him pull her inside, smiling proudly when JJ mouthed 'thank you'.
