"Emily." JJ smiled as Emily took a seat next to her on the counter as they waited for coffee.
"Hey JJ." Emily replied watching her daughter play with Jack.
"So Izzy pulled the whole take kid to work too?" JJ asked.
"That's what it was?"
"You didn't know?" Emily shook her head.
"Yeah, I brought Merlin."
"You brought my mother's horse?" Emily asked before thinking.
"No, your mother's horse is Houdini."
"Oh."
"Merlin is my dog."
"I figured once I ruled the horse out." Emily smiled as JJ laughed.
"Yeah, Hotch said Strauss might stop by later so I have to keep him under wraps."
"Why the hell… What does she need now?" Emily tried to stay levelheaded but was failing miserably.
"To see jack…And Izzy." After a minute JJ turned to Emily making sure she didn't stop breathing.
"Izzy?"
"Yeah, she's never met her."
"and for good reason, four year olds don't know what to not say and there's a lot of not saying with that women." JJ laughed again earning a glare from Emily. "JJ, please, you know I hate her."
"oh, I know and believe me I share the same feelings. Its nothing to freak out about anyway." JJ looked over at Izzy. "She's just like you, smart." Emily smiled and looked over at JJ.
"Jennifer Jareau, are you commenting my daughter to get to me?" Emily asked seriously.
"Well a child is the ticket to a mothers heart." JJ replied sliding off the counter. "And Emily, it's called flirting." She added as she walked away.
