"Emily we're being evacuated for security reasons." Rossi walked over to Emily's desk and sat on the edge. "Don't worry the daycare is already leaving."
"Alright." Emily stood up and grabbed her stuff. "They say why?"
"Security breach in the chemical warfare section."
"Gezz." Emily laughed, "Someone break something?"
"No, stole something."
"What! Who would steal a chemical bomb?"
"Don't know." They walked out and met up with the team Morgan holding Izzy.
"Mom! They said someone stole a bomb!" Izzy shouted and threw her arms in the air in a 'what is this world coming to' kind of way.
"I heard." Emily laughed taking Izzy in her arms and setting her on the ground.
"Well come on, show that you care!" Izzy said looking around at everyone who looked like they didn't have a care in the world.
"Isabel." Emily scolded her.
"Mom come on someone is running around with a bomb and no one looks like they care."
"That's because we took special classes to look like we're calm." Hotch said.
"Well that would explain you." Izzy mumbled.
"Izzy!" Emily yelled.
"It's alright Emily." Hotch insured.
"No, it's not. She maybe young but she needs to understand that actions have consequences and…" Emily stopped and looked down at Izzy who had her doe eyes out in full swing.
"Be strong Emily…" Hotch encouraged.
"But she looks so much like her!" Emily wanted to pull Izzy to her and tell her everything would be ok.
"I know she's a mini JJ but you have to be strong." Hotch said knowing exactly what Emily was going through. "Anyway there's no room for buts in life." Emily nodded and looked at Izzy.
"Try and squeeze a tear." Emily said satisfied with the look of complete confusion on Izzy's face. Emily smiled and picked Izzy up. "You going to disrespect anyone again?"
"No…" Izzy pouted.
"Good." Emily sat her down and watched as Izzy apologized to Hotch.
"Very harsh Emily." Garcia laughed walking up to her.
"I swear she's a spitting image of Jay."
"Oh I know."
"I'll have to learn how not to fall for her doe eyes, or I'll be dead soon."
"How so?"
"Wait till she's a teen and discovers shopping." Garcia laughed and Emily smiled.
"She's all you, just remember that."
"Oh no! JJ raised her too attitude is part genes part environment." Emily exclaimed making Garcia laugh again.
"Just keep saying that."
"I will!"
"Alright guys…and girls." Hotch said gathering his team up. "Let's just call it a day we'll be allowed in tomorrow."
"I second that!" Emily yelled grinning.
"To the bar!" Morgan yelled after her.
"Naw." Emily turned to face him. "I want to spend time with my kid." Emily smiled and Morgan nodded.
"Don't forget right back to work tomorrow."
"I won't." Emily said picking Izzy up. "Let's go home."
"What movie?" Izzy called from the living room as Emily carried the pizza they ordered into the room.
"Anything you want to watch." Emily called back.
"Titanic!"
"Um…no." Izzy dug through the movies again.
"A Few Good Men." Izzy read the box and looked up at Emily."
"No."
"But!"
"What about The Fox and The Hound?"
"I love that one." Izzy smiled pulling the dvd from its box and putting it in the player. Emily grabbed the dvd remote and set it up to play. Izzy scrambled up next to Emily on the couch. Emily handed Izzy's a plate and a piece of pizza.
"Where's mommy?"
"Visiting her family."
"Aren't we her family?"
"Yes but grandpa asked her to visit alone." Emily didn't want to make Izzy worry.
"Is grandpa ok?"
"Yes, he'll be ok." Emily wrapped an arm around Izzy puling her close. "Now eat up and watch the movie." Izzy nodded and snuggled close to Emily.
"Mom, how do you know for sure mommy's at grandpa's?" Izzy asked about halfway into the movie.
"I don't, but I trust her to talk to me."
"Oh." Izzy nodded and turned back to the T.V.
Later after the movie ended Emily laid on the couch Izzy sprawled out on top of her. Emily smiled picking Izzy up and walking her to her room. She laid Izzy in the bed and tucked the blankets in around her. As she was leaving she ran into Nico.
"I'll make you a deal, you go outside and take care of your…business and swear not to tell JJ and I'll let you sleep with Izzy." Nico wagged his tail thumping the ground and ran out the dog door JJ made Emily install. Emily leaned against the doorframe looking at Merlin.
"Well old fella, looks like the young ones are growing up." Emily smiled at Merlin who she swore understood her. "Maybe just a little too fast." Nico came around the corner sliding on the tile. "You know maybe I'm wrong." Emily laughed opening the door for Nico who launched himself on the bed. "Go right to sleep you." Emily shut the door and headed off to her room with Merlin in tow. Merlin curled up on his pillow and Emily smiled at him. "Come on." She patted the bed. "I hate sleeping alone in a cold bed." Merlin jumped up on the bed and spread out next to Emily. "No telling JJ." Emily smiled pulling the blankets up around herself and Merlin.
