Hey guys next chapter is up! Please read and review!

:)

Emily and Morgan were at the local mall. They were talking to the colleagues of the most recent victim. She owned a chain of clothing stores, but worked more frequently at the local one. They were about to enter the store when a little blonde bundle came running up to Emily. Not to far behind. A slightly older, light brown haired girl followed.

"Emily! Emily!" She exclaimed. Emily took a deep breath, knowing that Morgan was going to put two and two together. Brooke looked exactly like JJ. Before Morgan or Emily could say anything, Chris ran up with a woman. They looked as if they had been chasing Brooke and the other girl.

"Brooke, Grace, don't run off like that. This is a big mall, okay? You could get lost." As the woman was speaking to the girls, Brooke motioned for Emily to carry her. Emily lent down and picked her up.

Both Chris and Karen looked at her.

"Um, no offence, but who are you," Chris asked. Morgan was still at a loss for words. Well there is a first for everything.

"I'm a friend of Brooke's mom," Emily said. She knew JJ didn't want Morgan to know about her daughter, so she tried to avoid saying "JJ". Chris looked skeptical, he knew how protective JJ was of Brooke. She had told him that even her co-workers didn't know about Brooke. But then again, Brooke looked really comfortable with her.

"Oh, I'm Chris Jareau, this is my daughter Grace and my wife Karen and I guess you know my niece." Derek looked even more baffled. He looked between Emily, Brooke and Chris. Chris noticed the and swore quietly underneath his breath. His wife smacked him and pointed to the kids.

"So this girl," Morgan pointed to Brooke. "Is JJ's daughter?"

Emily nodded.

"I had no idea." He turned to Chris and Karen. "Um, Derek Morgan." He said shaking Chris's hand.

"So um how do you know JJ?" Karen asked. Grace gotten bored and started to play some kind of jumping game next to the adults. Brooke squirmed out of Emily's arms and went over to join her.

"We work with JJ," Emily said.

"FBI agents?" Chris asked.

"Yeah," Derek said.

"That reminds me, we should get going." Emily said bye to the adults and then turned to Grace and Brooke. "Grace, my name is Emily! I am a friend of Brooke's mom." She turned to Brooke. "Bye Brooke, I'll see you in a few days."

"Bye Emi!" Brooke said.

The two profilers turned into the store.

"So, you knew?" Derek asked her. Emily stopped.

"I know you want to know, but it's JJ's life. You are going to have to tell her." Emily had already given Derek enough, she didn't want to make any more damage into JJ's life.

"Okay, I am going to talk to her when we get back though," Derek said. He was completly surprised by the day's turn of events.

1 hour later

Emily and Derek had returned from speaking with the colleagues of the victim and had come back to share new information with the team. After they finished, they were sent to work on building the profile. Morgan pulled JJ aside, dragging Emily with them.

"Um… what is it?" JJ asked, confused. She tried to make eye contact with Emily, but she was avoiding her gaze.

"JJ, we were at the mall earlier and we ran into someone. Well actually they ran into us," JJ had a feeling about what was coming. He and Emily explained what had happened at the mall. "...Why didn't you tell anyone about her?" Derek asked.

"I told Emily," JJ protested. Emily looked up and gave a look that said "Oh really".

"Okay maybe that was an accident, but still! And Hotch knows," JJ said.

"JJ, first off, I am strongly considering putting myself in for an evaluation because I really did not see that coming. And really, I don't see why you didn't just say anything." Derek said. "I really do not think of you any differently just because you have a kid."

"I know Morgan, I have my reasons," JJ said calmly. "Well, I might as well tell Rossi and Reid."

They all walked into the room.

"Hey, um, I have something I should probably tell you." She looked around at the group. "So I know that I do not tell you anything about my personal life, I don't go out for drinks and stuff. The reason is… I have a two year old daughter. Rossi, Reid, you two are the only ones who do not know. Hotch I don't think you knew she was a girl." She said pausing to try to remember if it was on her file. It wasn't, for Brooke's safety. "Her name is Brooklyn, Brooke, she is two and a half. I don't really tell anyone about her, Emily one of the only people outside of my family and my neighbor to know or meet her."

She could tell that they knew she was hiding something. What reason is there for someone to hide their daughter from everyone. She wanted to tell them, she did trust them. But she couldn't. One thing was for sure though and it worried her immensely , Garcia was going to kill her when she finds out she was the last one to know about Brooke.

That evening JJ heading back home to change. She left a little early, explaining where she was going to Hotch, but she had to be back at the station early tomorrow to give a press conference. It was odd coming home without Brooke, normally she was right next door. JJ quickly got changed and drove back out. She pulled up to the restaurant and saw her brother's car. When she entered the restaurant she immediately found everyone.

"Mommy! I saw Emily!" Brooke said happily as she gave her mom a big hug.

"I know you did monkey. How was your day?" JJ asked.

"Good! But missed you!" Brooke said seriously.

"I know you did sweetheart," JJ said.

The rest of the dinner went by well. JJ caught up with her brother and sister in-law. She hadn't seen them in almost six months. They talked so much that JJ didn't realize the time until it was really late.

"Hey I've gotta run. I have to be at the station at seven tomorrow." JJ said. She quietly told Brooke that she had to go, as she got up and started pulling her jacket on.

"JJ, why doesn't Brooke stay with us tonight and tomorrow," Chris put his hand up to stop her from interrupting. "She would probably be fine to wear one of the six pairs of pajamas Grace made me buy her and tomorrow we can drive up and grab her a change of clothes or something." JJ wasn't sure.

"JJ come on, we all love spending time with her," Karen said.

JJ finally agreed. After giving Brooke a big hug and kiss and promising to call, JJ left.
