A/N Ok everyone. Here's another chapter. It's an extra long one since it took me a while to get it up. Sorry about that by the way. Back to a little team interaction for those of you that enjoy that. Most people seemed ok with throwing in a little R&I so let's see what happens. I'm so flattered with all of your positive reviews. They really keep me motivated. Let me know what you think of this one.

The next few days went by without much excitement. The team had not gotten a case so most of the week was spent catching up on the massive amounts of paperwork that had been collecting and actively ignored. On Tuesday, JJ and Emily had gone to their first IVF appointment. The appointment had gone extremely well and they had made their first attempt at getting pregnant that evening.

Jessica spent her week moving into her new apartment. The U-Haul had arrived on Wednesday morning and the team had come over that evening to help her get moved in. Morgan had done his best to avoid being alone with Jessica since Monday night. He just didn't trust his self-control yet. There were so many reasons he should stay away from Jessica but every one of those reasons seemed to float away when she shot him a smile or winked at him playfully let alone how he felt when she touched him. So he decided it was just best to keep his distance until he had full control of his hormones.

She had started work at the BAU Thursday but Morgan had been sent a couple counties over to do a consult so he had easily avoided her. But today was Friday. There would be no way to avoid the gorgeous blonde today unless he hid in his office all day and that would look a little suspicious. He had been lying in bed staring at the ceiling for several minutes when he decided there was no way he was going to get back to sleep.

He was up over an hour earlier than he needed to be but decided a little extra time in the gym wouldn't kill him. He needed to work to keep this body and it would help him keep his mind off the young blonde that had been seeping into every one of his thoughts recently.

He walked into Quantico a half hour later with his gym bag thrown over one shoulder. He headed towards the workout facilities with the intention of one thing: getting Jessica Jareau out of his mind. Walking around the corner to the weight room he was stunned when he immediately met with the sight of his affections. She was sat on the floor with her legs extended out in a V and bent over with her forehead on the ground stretching but Morgan knew who it was without a doubt. He didn't need to see more than her golden blonde hair and amazing body to know who was sitting in the middle of the room. When she finished her stretch, she slung her ponytail over her shoulder and looked up, instantly meeting roaming, brown eyes.

She smiled warmly and jumped up from the floor in one, graceful motion. Morgan gulped audibly as he took in the image before him. She was wearing a pair of black jogging pants that had a light blue stripe down the side. The pants sat a little crooked on her hips affording Morgan a great view of the well defined muscles and bones there. She also had on a light blue sports bra. Morgan's gaze drifted to her tight, chiseled abs and was amazed at what he found. She had a killer body. Probably one of the best bodies on a woman he had ever seen. Every muscle he could see was defined but still feminine. She jogged over to him and stopped just feet in front of him.

"What's up?" she asked with a blinding smile.

"Just getting a workout in," he said trying not to watch as a drop of sweat had started moving slowly down her neck and into the space between her breasts and out of sight. "I would ask you but it looks like you're way ahead of me this morning."

"Eh…just by a little bit," she said. "I just did two miles and a little bit of core work. I've still got at least another hour's worth of work to do."

"You like working out?" Morgan asked now curious about her tough regimen.

"I do now. I used to hate it but it's kind of turned into a healthy stress release from the job now. Plus you can't keep a body like this and eat the food I like without a pretty tough routine," she said laughing and lightly slapping her flat stomach. "Anyways, I used to have to pay to go to the gym but I figured if I was going to be working at Quantico, I should take advantage of their amazing workout facilities."

"I understand," Morgan said finally smiling at the woman before him. "And I agree about the facilities. If you got 'em, might as well use 'em."

"I guess. Well I'll let you get to it. I've got another two miles to run before I can start the rest of my routine," she said patting Morgan on the arm and running back off towards the track.

Morgan watched her run off and headed towards the locker room. So much for not thinking about Jessica Jareau he thought.

Several hours later Jessica was sitting at her desk half-listening to Emily and Reid talking and/or arguing about a case. She had spent most of her day so far listening to Emily teasing Reid and getting tips on profiling from Emily and JJ. At one point she had received a mini-seminar on gossiping from Garcia. JJ, however, had been her saving grace and sent Garcia off to harass someone in the IT department about Jessica still not having a computer.

Hotch and Rossi had both surfaced from their offices a few times to come by and check on her and see if she needed any tips, but she had not seen Morgan all day. She was a little disappointed really. After her run that morning, she had stopped to watch him workout for a few minutes. She couldn't take her eyes off the dark man as he did his pull-ups.

She found it extremely frustrating that she couldn't get a read on the man. Being very perceptive, she found that it was a rare occasion when she couldn't tell what someone was feeling or thinking but Derek was a mystery to her. One minute he was flirting and the next he was avoiding her like the plague.

"What do you think Jess?" Emily asked. Emily had picked up the nickname that JJ used for her sister and found herself using it more often than not.

"Huh?"

"About this case," Emily responded tossing a file in front of Jessica.

Jessica read through the file quickly and began profiling the UNSUB that was presented, "Male, probably in his 20's, we can tell that because he is disorganized, he uses a weapon from the scene and leaves it there, he doesn't care to leave fingerprints behind so he probably hasn't got a record, outcast, most likely neglected by his mother or another older, maternal figure. Pretty cut and dry why?" she asked wondering why they were asking her opinion on such a trivial consult.

"See…? She just proved my point," Emily said looking pointedly at Reid.

"Your point about what?" Jessica asked clearly still confused.

"Reid thinks the guy has a foot fetish."

"A foot fetish?" Jessica looked back through the pictures in the files trying to find where Reid could have gotten that thought from.

"Yes, look at the shoes," he said pointing to one of the pictures. "They are all untied and appear to be put on in a rush."

"Maybe," Jessica said scrunching her nose and her forehead, "but look at this," she said pointing at a different picture. "This woman's shirt is buttoned incorrectly. I think he's completely undressing them and redressing them. Maybe the clothes they have on are important to the guy's fantasy. I would tell the locals that they should check and make sure the clothes actually belong to the victims that are wearing them."

"They'll find that they won't."

Jessica turned to see Rossi standing in his doorway, "How do you know that? I mean it's just a guess. I could be wrong."

"No, it's not a guess Jessica, it's profiling. I know they will find that the clothes don't belong to the victims because we worked that case a year ago and caught the guy. You just profiled him exactly. Your colleagues there are testing you," he said grinning slightly.

Jessica turned back to Reid and Emily who were smiling proudly. Jessica smiled back and shook her head. She wasn't angry about this. She knew part of moving into a new job was getting tested by her co-workers to make sure she was qualified. Emily threw a paper ball at Rossi for revealing her secret, before going back to reading actual cases and giving Jessica tips here and there.

Around four o'clock Hotch came out of his office, briefcase in hand.

"Where you going boss man?" Garcia asked. She had come out of her lair several minutes before to get coffee and had gotten distracted talking to JJ about her prospective niece or nephew.

"Home," Hotch responded, "I promised Jack we would spend the weekend together and that it would start tonight with a movie night."

"Aww…" Garcia said, "have fun with Little Hotch oh fearless leader."

Hotch gave Garcia his patented half smile before addressing the rest of his team, "You guys get out of here when you finish whatever you're working on and I will see you on Tuesday."

"Tuesday?" Emily questioned.

"Yes," Hotch called walking away, "don't question it, I might change my mind." And then he was gone.

"Wow…he's in a good mood," Emily said.

"Maybe he's getting some," Garcia said smiling.

"I don't think I want to know if Hotch is…" Emily was interrupted by her phone ringing. "Prentiss," she said picking it up without looking at the caller id.

"Hey!" she said excitedly. JJ was now interested, hearing the excitement in her fiancée's voice. She found herself a little frustrated that she could only hear Emily's part of the conversation.

"Of course…no it's no problem...that would be great…ok…ok see you then!" Emily hung up her phone with a huge smile.

"Who was that?" JJ asked finally giving in to her curiosity. Realizing that the question came out a little more defensively than she meant for it to she tried to soften it with a smile.

Emily didn't seem to notice, however, and went on, "You remember my friend Jane that we visited in Boston?"

"Of course I do. Her girlfriend was great," JJ said remembering the time her and Emily had spent in Boston last winter. They had gone to get out of Virginia for a little bit and figure out stuff about their relationship. They had ended up spending a lot of time with Emily's friend Jane and her girlfriend Maura.

Jane was a local police detective and Maura was the Chief Medical Examiner. Along with getting to see how solid their relationship was, JJ had spent a lot of time with Maura. JJ and Maura had come into their relationships in similar ways: new to the experience and unsure how to handle it. They talked a lot about how JJ was feeling and how things would change and the affect it would have on their friendship. Maura had come clean, sharing her own personal stories and struggles with her sexuality after meeting Jane.

Maura was definitely odd and a little socially awkward but she had made JJ feel a hundred times better about her and Emily's relationship. That trip alone had allowed JJ to take the plunge a hundred percent into the relationship.

The stories of their relationships were remarkably similar. Jane was a tough cop who was out-of-the closet but not very willing to share any information about her personal life with anyone. The Italian was very closed-off and spent a lot of time compartmentalizing much like Emily. It was obvious why the two were friends. They were both tough, gung-ho, women at the top of their fields fighting against the guys every day to outdo them. JJ and Maura also had similar stories. They were both straight until they started falling for their now significant other. Both found themselves much more laid back than their significant other. JJ guessed the similarities in their relationships is what allowed the two couples to be so close to one another.

"Well they're coming down because Maura has a conference. They will be here tomorrow and go back next Sunday. They're kind of using it as a vacation," Emily stated.

"That's great!" JJ said excited to spend time with Jane and Maura. "They should stay with us."

"Are you sure?" Emily asked. "Jane can be a handful," she said laughing.

"So can you…" JJ said raising her eyebrows at the brunette. "And I handle you just fine."

Emily shot her fiancée a look, "Well you better not handle her the same way you 'handle' me."

JJ laughed and everyone else groaned at the mental image. "Just make the call."

"Ok, I will call her later and insist they stay with us."

"Good," JJ said with a nod, "now let's get out of here guys."

Everyone agreed. While everyone was packing up Garcia had wandered back to her office.

Jessica sighed as the climbed onto the elevator with Reid, Emily, and JJ. She had only half-listened to the conversation that had taken place around her minutes before. All her thoughts were still completely on the dark agent she could not get a read on. She was still frustrated she hadn't seen him since the morning. She found herself becoming even more frustrated when the group arrived in the parking garage and his truck was not there with everyone else's vehicles. She decided then and there she was going to confront him about his cold and hot behavior. This wasn't a damn Katy Perry song for God's sakes! The only thing was she couldn't figure out why she cared so much. She was a world class flirter, she should be able to throw his attitude right back at him with ease but she didn't want too. She wanted to talk to him, know more about him.

She wanted to be closer to Derek Morgan and that terrified her.

A/N Ok let me know what you think please. And I'm sorry and I hate these super long author's notes but I have a few things I need to clear up before the next chapter.

1st- the next few chapters will be similar to this one; one chapter might only cover one or two days. I was lots of R&I and Jemily interaction mainly because I'm excited to see how I do with it. However, a few chapters down the road I might jump a little. I don't want it to be a ridiculous like 10 month jump but it might be a couple months just to move the story along.

2nd- For those who questioned it, I'm doing R&I because I feel like their relationship is a good compare & contrast relationship to Emily and JJ's. They're a lot similar and a lot different so I really want to explore those things in the next few chapters.

3rd- I hope I didn't throw anyone off with the explanation of the relationship between JJ and Maura's characters but I felt it needed to be in there to understand it I guess.

4th- Lastly was a question about the time frame of the story and I'm sorry I'm just now getting back to you on that. We're set post season 6 and after the first few episodes of season 7. It's obviously AU so I can't follow the show's storyline completely but as new episodes come out I'm going to try to throw in little things as if those things have happened. Does that make sense to everyone?
