"I know what to do I'll make a list, that will help me decided easier, I hope. And standing in an empty room talking to a cat probably won't." Emily murmured to herself.

Emily went to her home office and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and sat down on the couch that was next to her desk, Sergio curling up next to her.

She started at the top and worked her way down,

Christmas presents

JJ- Bed, Bath and Beyond. Maybe a nice bed set or the new coffee maker she wanted.

Garcia- A new photo frame and that new paramour CD she was talking about early today.

Morgan- Maybe the Back to the Future collection, for his ever growing DVD collection.

Reid- A new satchel, his old ones looking a bit raggedy and they were torn in some places.

Dave- The nice Italian watch he's been hinting at for months.

Hotch- ?

"Crap" she said, "Now I've got a rough idea of what I'm getting for 5 people but the one person I spend the most time with" she rolled her eyes again. Deciding to just call Rossi when she needed help, she headed up to her room to get ready.

Within 30 minutes she was dressed, showered and in her car on her way to the mall. The first thing she noticed when she got there was the lack of parking, making her double back and park on a side road.

Once in the mall the first place she hit was the Bed, Bath and Beyond shop to grab a coffee maker and a nice deep red bed set for JJ. After that everything else seemed to be easy enough to get and within an hour the only present she hadn't gotten was one for Hotch.

Now this is the hardest one. She pulled out her phone and dialed Rossi's number.

"Rossi"

"Hey Dave, it's Emily"

"Oh hey, what are you up to?"

"I'm at the mall shopping for Christmas presents, and I've gotten everyone but Hotch. I need help on deciding on what to get him."

"You need help? From me? Emily lately you and Hotch have been conversing more as friends but you still feel there's something stopping you from taking that extra step."

"David, I'm calling for help about presents not to get advice on a situation about my love life"

David laughed into her ear, "Books Emily, he likes books about crime"

"Surprise, surprise" She said heading into Barnes and Noble. Walking into the large True Crime section, looking over the titles, she picked out a few books on Murder Mac.

She was just about to head to cashiers when she felt something pull on her pant leg. Balancing her shopping bags, the books and her phone, she looked down and was met by the cutest pair of brown eyes she'd ever seen.

"Hello there." She said "What's your name?"

"David Rossi, what's your?"

"Not you Dave, I have to go thanks for the help bye" she hung up the phone before hearing Rossi's good-bye.

She turned down to the little boy and gave him all of her attention; he sniffled and looked up to her whispering his name.

"Jack"
