Maybe two more chapter and an epilogue or one more and an epilogue i don't know yet. But thanks so much for all the reviews, alerts and favoring please keep them coming and enjoy. Oh before anything, everything in italics is in a sort of flashback.

3 Weeks Later

The team had flown back to DC a few days later. They had all adjusted to the idea of Emily having a daughter especially Hotch, Emily and Jack.

Hotch and Emily had decided that it was best for Jack t know some of the story. Starting with Emily having a daughter, Chloe. Though he was too young to know why she had to live away from her and why they didn't know each other very much, Jack understood and was happy about it.

They had been home for about two full days. Emily and Hotch had decided that it was for the best to tell Jack since both profilers wanted to have Chloe maybe come over some time. They both knew that it would be good thing for Emily to have her daughter close and maybe even get to go out with her.

They were in the living room standing against the door frame, as Jack played happily with his toy cars.

"Jack, buddy. We want to talk to you about something." Hotch called out nicely. "Come sit on the couch."

Jack looked up to the parent figures he had and smiled.

Emily knew that even if Jack wasn't her own flesh and blood he cared about her as a mother. So he deserved to hear it from her. "Jack, sweetie, I wanted you to know something. I… I have a daughter."

Jack looked up to Emily and then up to Hotch with a confused look on his face. Then he asked Emily, "You're a mommy?"

Emily smiled at the little boy and said, "Yeah sweetie I am."

Jack seemed disappointed and quickly lowered his head and his little body started shaking as he sobbed quietly. Both Hotch and Emily were definitely not expecting anything like that to happen. Hotch quickly wrapped his arm around his son and held him tightly. Emily felt a stab of guilt she had made little Jack cry.

"Jack, sweetie, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Emily asked soothing him.

Jack pulled away from Hotch's embrace and looked at Emily with watery eyes and said, "I… I wanted… you… to… t-to be… m-my m-mo-mmy." Jack sobbed and when he finished he hid his head in Hotch's chest.

Emily felt her heart break for the little boy in front of her as she said, "Baby, listen to me. No matter what happens I love you so much. If you want me to be your mommy I will be your mommy. But you will always have another mommy, Hailey. And Chloe will all ways be my daughter. But that will never change how much I love you baby."

Jack looked up from Hotch's chest and wiped his ears and asked, "Really?"

"Really." Both Hotch and Emily said as they both hugged Jack. That was a part of their family.

"So when can I meet her?" asked Jack happy once again. It was such like him to bounce back soon

Emily and Hotch smiled and said, "Soon."

Everything with Jack had gone great after that. They talked to him about how Chloe had a different daddy and that she had a little brother that was his age. That had just given Jack much more of a curiosity. Now every day he asked if he could meet Chloe and Evan. That was what he asked as soon as he woke up and before he went to sleep.

Emily and Hotch had discussed it and had decided that it would be a great idea to take Jack to meet Chloe and Evan. Emily had even passed the idea by Chloe which had gone great. She was anxious to meet Jack just like he was. Emily after asking Chloe about it had called Andrew he assured them, that he had not objections. He had said that as long as Chloe was fine with it, they were free to come and go as they pleased.

So Emily and Hotch were planning a trip in a week. Not just randomly but also because, Damian and Chloe had a game and Emily really wanted to see her daughter cheer. And of course how could they forget, also see Sam. Emily had even talked to Sam a few times. Emily found Sam a great friend she was a bit strange but she was nice… to Chloe at least. She found it funny how mean Sam was to Damien.

Emily had just gotten back from consulting with a local case. It might have been local and only consulting but now every case was hitting her harder personally. The team had been split to work in two different cases since neither were actually working it, just consulting in them, so Emily and Hotch had been away from each other all day.

Emily had been calling Chloe once every second day. She had just called her yesterday so he knew that if she called it would seem odd but at that point all she needed was to know her daughter was fine and safe were she had been for the past fifteen years.

Emily pulled out her phone and dialed Chloe's number.

"Hello?" answered Chloe.

"Hi… Chloe. How are you?" Emily asked probably sounding a bit nervous.

"Fine. Is everything all right, Emily?" Chloe asked

"Umhh, yeah. Just got back from a case… sort of. Just wanted to make sure you were okay. So what are you doing?" Emily asked feeling much better.

"Oh… well I'm fine don't worry. Nothing really just here watching TV with Sam." Chloe said

"What are you guys watching?" Emily asked hoping to lighten her own mood at least until Hotch came home.

"Some old show called Dharma and Greg. Have you ever seen it?" Chloe asked

"No, sorry. I really don't have time to watch TV what is it about?" Emily asked

"I don't really know. We were watching music videos but we got bored. Now were checking guys out. Do you know there's a guy on the show that looks like Hotch?" Chloe asked with a laugh

Emily smiled maybe having a teenager wasn't as bad as some parents expected, she sure lightened her mood. Emily smiled and answered, "Really? Even the serious face?"

Chloe giggled and said, "All except that, this guy smiles a lot more and is way hornier.. .I'm guessing?… Umhhh… never mind… umhhh I don't know… umhh"

Emily started laughing at Chloe's embarrassment. She could bet anything that her daughter was blushing a bright red and by Sam's loud laughter she knew it was true. "Well I don't think I should answer that." Emily joked.

"Yeah please don't, sorry... So how's Jack?" Chloe asked still obviously embarrassed

"Oh, his fine. Actually I wanted to ask you if you wanted to meet him, he really wants to meet you." Emily asked

"I would love too. Anytime Emily. Actually I wanted to invite you to the last football game this season. I'm going to cheer in it" Emily could hear Sam clear her throat and then Chloe added, "Sorry, we're going to cheer in it and Damian is playing."

"I would love to be there. When is it?" Emily asked

"Next Friday. It would be great if you could be there, and Hotch and Jack and… the team if they want." Chloe said happy.

"I'll do everything I can to be there. Well it's 12:45 here so I should be getting some sleep and so should you." Emily said with a smile.

Chloe laughed and said, "Okay. It's only 9:45 here but I'll keep the thought in mind. Thanks. Good night Emily."

"Night Emily." Sam called in the background.

"Night Chloe, Sweet dreams. Night Sam." Emily called back before hanging up.

Emily had everything planned it had been three weeks since she last saw Chloe, even though she had lived without her for fifteen years, she missed her. The team all had agreed that it would be a great way to get back to routine or at least a new routine, because they all wanted to have some sort of contact with Chloe. Morgan, JJ and Rossi texted Chloe sometimes. Reid and Hotch sometimes talked to her while Emily called. Garcia sometimes called Chloe and Sam.

They all knew that having some sort of contact would give them a sense of normality with the whole situation. Emily loved that the team all liked having contact with Chloe that they all had gotten along and that for once Jack was going to meet Chloe.
