Jason heard Emma and Sam talking about some gathering they were going to, he moved closer to them sitting outside the door as they spoke. Nearly falling over when the door opened Jason smiled and stepped back.

"Listening in Jason?" Sam asked.

"Me? no never." Jason gave his trust me smile.

"Liar, and for lying you get to come with us to meet the girls up at the pizza place."

"Aw really?" Jason whined, he really would much rather stay and play Call of Duty.

"Yes, now go find Andrew too. We shall meet you at JJ's."

"Fine." Jason sulked off to find his brother.

"Think it worked?"

"Yeah him and pizza, always a slam dunk." Emma smiled taking Sam's hand they headed downstairs to go to JJ's.

"Derek I don't like fish."

"I said we're not going to eat fish." Derek sighed holding Molly up.

"But…"

"Molly, I promise you we wont eat fish, and if someone does I will let you punch your cousin Derek and blame him." Emily said getting the girl to stop whining about the fish.

"Thank you." Derek whispered to Emily who just nodded.

"Emily…"

"Yes Mary?"

"Elle's walking around outside." Emily laughed.

"Alright, I bet she'd love it if you and Molly attacked her."

"Really?" Molly's eyes lit up.

"Yup, now just be careful remember she likes to fall over a lot." Emily scooted the girls toward the door and they watched as they both attacked Elle knocking her to the ground.

"That is priceless." Morgan chuckled.

"Just you wait, there is a lot more of them." JJ said as everyone started filing in.

"Guys this is Derek Morgan, Emily works with him. Derek, this is Sam, Erica, Jason, Andrew, and Emma. Elle you already know is a little tied up." JJ said as everyone sat around the tables they joined together.

"Wow, when you said a lot, you meant it." Morgan chuckled.

"Oh I always mean what I say."

"So using that against you one day." Morgan said, JJ figured she shouldn't doubt him. He looked up and saw, more like heard, Molly, Mary, and Elle walk in.

"Alright so here she comes screaming around the corner ready to fight off all the bad guys when suddenly she freezes, of course Morgan and I couldn't stop in time so we ended up running right into her. Sticking our heads around her shoulders we see this tiny kid sittin' there like nothing's going on. Emily inches forward and snatches the kid up, quickly running him to safety as we take down the bad guy."

"That's so cool Elle! What was the kids name?" Molly asked and that's when Elle realized maybe story time wasn't such a good idea, and bringing it inside was the worst that she ever had.

"I um… it was…" Elle stuttered. "Jake." Elle looked up at Emily pleading for forgiveness, they promised never to bring the day back up.

"I'm so glad Jake's ok." Mary said hugging onto Elle.

"Yeah… me too kido." Elle said and watched Emily stand up and leave the table. "Go play with your sisters and Morgan, I need to take care of something." Elle chased after Emily, following her into the bathroom. "Emily, I know we promised but I just couldn't not tell them about our cases… I just wish I hadn't picked that one."

"Elle, just shut up." Emily glared at Elle.

"I'm so sorry."

"Elle, really I understand and I just, let it go ok? You didn't fuck up too badly." Emily said tears coming to her eyes.

"What? Wait… I didn't?" Emily shook her head. "Are you… Emily are you seeing someone like Hotch told us?" Emily didn't answer at first just stared ahead.

"No."

"Emily… you should talk to someone."

"Elle, you know when there are just some things you want to keep to yourself?"

"Yeah."

"Well what I've been going through since that, all of it is just that, something I want to keep to myself."

"You'll end up killing yourself with all this Emily." Elle put a hand on Emily's shoulder, standing right in front of her.

"Just don't get it do you?"

"Yeah I get it Emily. But you have to talk to someone."

"Yeah…" Elle smiled and hugged Emily.

"I love you Emily, I don't like seeing you hurt." Elle said softly.

"I know. Go on back out there I'll join you soon ok?"

"Alright, I can't promise that JJ wont come in."

"It's ok." Emily said as Elle walked to the door. "Hey Elle…" Elle looked back at Emily. "Thanks."

"Yeah Emily." Elle smiled, walking out. Emily stayed trying to collect herself. JJ walked in a few minutes later, she walked over and sat next to Emily on the counter.

"When you left, I have this one really vivid memory of summer. We were all going to visit the grandparents, and when we got there I just couldn't shake the memories of you and the grandparents. I kept thinking back to when Grandpa told you to do something that you wouldn't and you said you knew what you were doing and not to worry about it. He didn't like your answer and you got really mad at him, but you didn't let him know it, I just kept thinking about how amazing it was that you and him were so close to one another after that. You loved him more than anyone else." JJ grabbed Emily's hand. "I remember laying awake each night while there thinking how much it sucked to be there without you. When grandma and grandpa asked about you I told them you were taking summer classes, but I know mom told them the truth that you hadn't spoken to us in over a year, because one night grandpa woke me up and took me downstairs and outside. We sat on the edge of the pool and he told me about you, when I had to go to bed and you'd stay up with the adults." JJ smiled and squeezed Emily's hand. "He told me that he could feel the passion radiating off of you from the first second he met you. He told me that you didn't talk much, only when spoken to, but you soaked in every bit of information that you could. He figured that because you were raised to always be in the background that you would stay like that, but you proved him wrong when you started to get closer and closer to the adults, and you were always happy to be around others and be seen." JJ moved closer to Emily. "He thought of you like another granddaughter you know?" JJ hugged Emily to her and kissed her forehead. "He helped me, and you." Emily hugged JJ back and smiled.

"I'm glad someone did." Emily kissed JJ lightly. "Just think how we would've turned out without that man in our lives."

"Oh don't remind me." JJ chuckled and they both stood up off the counter. "I love you, you wont ever forget that right?"

"Hmm, I don't think so, ask me again when I'm 90 and have Alzheimer's." Emily joked making JJ laugh.

"I'll take that as a 'I'll never forget'."

"That's a really smart idea." Emily kissed JJ again.

"Maybe we should get back out there and save everyone." JJ said her head resting against Emily's chest.

"But what's the fun in that?"

"The longer we're in here the more we miss."

"I'm not missing a thing with you here in my arms." Emily smiled and held JJ.
