A/N Thanks so much for everyone that reviewed and followed the story it definitely made me feel more confident about writing and now I can't stop. In some parts of this chapter you get to know what JJ is thinking. I think I'm gonna keep it throughout the entire story so that you know what Emily and JJ are thinking but never know what Morgan is.


It was Monday morning and Emily had her head on her desk but could faintly hear JJ and Reid walking into the bullpen talking about their weekends.

"Will and I took Henry to the amusement park on Saturday and then just had a relaxing day on Sunday. How about you Spence? What did the genius on his weekend?"

"Well, on saturday I read a lot and wrote a letter to my mother and on sunday I attend a four-hour lecture on the chaos theory."

There voices grew as they approached her desk. Emily although it did not look like it was listening to the conversation and was knew what JJ was going to say next. No, JJ don't ask, please don't ask. JJ was about to ask the wrong question to Reid. Emily knew this one little Question could have them listening to Spencer for hours.

"The chaos theory is about math correct?" JJ questioned.

Oh, great why did she always have to be find out more.

"Well JJ it is a mathematical theory but it also applies physics, engineering, economics, biology, and philosophy!"

"Why JJ, why." Emily groaned

Spencer was still ranting about dynamical systems and something about a butterfly effect. He realized we had stopped listening and walked over to his desk to read.

"Sorry, Em," JJ laughed. "What's with you today."

"Nothing I'm fine."

"Okay well...what did you do over the weekend?"

"Nothing I ran errands and hung out with Sergio."

"You didn't have a date or go out?" Shit, did JJ know about her crush on Morgan?

"No, I didn't and if I did, I would ask you to please stay out of it!"

What the hell did I just do. Now she knows somethings up. Why can I just control all of these feelings?

"Geez Em I'm sorry, and if you ever need to talk I'm here."

Emily said nothing and just watched JJ walk away

Why did JJ always have to be so nice and forgiving? She really is like a sister and I should trust her.

At that moment Morgan entered the bullpen and sat at his desk. JJ was still in earshot, getting coffee when Morgan started talking to Emily.

"Hey Em what up? How was the rest of your weekend?"

When JJ heard this she stopped, put down her coffee and listened closer.

"Umm, my weekend...it was fine." Emily said weakly "How about yours?"

"Relaxing, nothing happened after we got lunch, which was probably that most exciting thing that happened. Got to catch up on some sleep and now I'm ready for all this paperwork."

JJ stood by wondering why Emily didn't tell her about lunch with Morgan. It wasn't really a big deal. Maybe something else had happened after. What ever it was JJ really wanted to know.


Emily Spent the rest of the day avoiding Morgan and deciding if she should apologize to JJ. If she did apologize to JJ, what would she say? She knew that JJ would insist on an explanation. A good story that's what she would need, something believable. Nothing about a guy because JJ had a sense if the story was bullshit or not.

"The truth," Emily muttered to herself, "just tell her the truth."

Interrupted in thought, she head her co-works saying today's goodbyes.

Rossi had already sprinted out of their ready to go home, light a cigar, and spend time with his dog Mudge.

Surprisingly, Hotch was second to leave because he promised Jack he would make dinner and then watch a movie.

Luckily for Emily, Morgan was leaving with Garcia so she just said a painless goodbye directed to both.

Emily slowly made her way to JJ's office. She knocked on the door...no answer. She knocked again...no answer. Emily slowly turned the door knob to her office so many thoughts raced through her mind. How mad is she? Is she ignoring me? Does she know that I like Morgan? Emily peered into her office and saw that JJ wasn't there? She walked over to her desk to see what JJ was working on. Emily jumped when someone's voice interrupted the silence.

"She's not here."

"Oh wow, Spence you scared me I thought everyone had left other than me. What do you mean she's not here?"

"JJ she left early, Henry's babysitter called and he has a fever." Spencer thought for a moment. "She left at 12:17."

"Really, I didn't notice." What the hell was I even doing all day that didn't notice that my best friend left work about her sick son? Am I that self-absorbed right now? I have to shake this feeling or I'm gonna hurt more of my friends.

"Well, bye Em I'm leaving, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, bye Spence see ya." She stood in JJ's office for what seemed hours. Out of the corner of her eye she saw spencer open the door to leave and yelled to him.

"Did she mention when she will be back?"

"Depending on how sick Henry is the earliest would be Wednesday."

Okay I'll tell her on Wednesday.


A/N I forgot to mention in the next chapter I will flashback to what happened at lunch. Reviews are appreciated! If anyone has any suggestions about what happens at lunch that would be great. I promise I will update soon Chapter 3 is half way done school just gives me no time to write.
