'Cause Baby You're A Firework

JJ had just gotten off the elevator, holding two cups of coffee, in her hands, while heading for Emily's room. After gently knocking on the door with her foot and waited for a response from the patient lying, resting and healing on the other side of the door.

"Come in" the blonde agent heard, before using her elbow to push down the door handle and slowly walked into the room.

"Hi Emily, I'm Jennifer Jareau, but all my friends call me JJ"

"That actually sounds very familiar..."

"I hope so... we worked together for over four years and I helped you get to Paris, France after Doyle escaped the warehouse and kept you in touch about the team and your family"

"Why would you talk to me about my mother and father?"

"I see you still have no memory what's so ever of your husband and others"

"He has relatives, like brothers and sisters"

"Not exactly..."

"Come on just tell me okay"

"I think it would be better to hear it from your husband, Dr. Spencer Reid"

"My husband's a doctor?"

"Not the Grey's anatomy kind of doctor"

"Gray's what now?"

"Nevermind, it's a hospital drama that took over ER"

"Oh, okay. Then what kind of doctor is he?"

"Chemistry, Mathematics and Engineering"

"Whoa, wait, how old is he?"

"Pushing on 32-33 years old"

"Wait what, I married someone younger than me?"

"You're both nerds and have a lot of debates and discussions... plus you're the only one that can beat him at cards"

"Really?"

"Oh yeah, genius from Las Vegas; definitely has the house rules advantages" JJ said, while chuckling at the memory of the first time Emily had beaten Reid at cards. Even after the Jet had landed he was still trying to figure out how she had beaten him, "I think he's still trying to figure out to this day"

"No one's ever beat him at Poker?"

"Except you"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure go ahead"

"Is anyone else stopping by here?"

"No why?"

"Because you're holding two cups of coffee"

"Oh, I totally forgot that I had these, sorry. Here's yours" she said, while handing the cup to Emily, who immediately took a big gulp of it, "Whoa slow down Em"

"Sorry, but I miss coffee"

"Understandable with our line of work"

"So what do you do in the BAU?"

"I was the Media Liaison for the team until I was forced to take a promotion and I now work for the Pentagon"

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah. None of us on the team were happy, except for Strauss, but that's only because she wants to get rid of everyone of us of the BAU. Especially you and Hotch"

"Why?"

"I don't know why, she just somehow wants the two of you gone from the bureau"

"...I..." Emily was about to say something when a sharp pain started in her head, and had a small flashback of Strauss telling her about the deal to make her Unit Chief. "I think I know why..."

"You remembered something?"

"Yeah... She hired me to rat Hotch out... and I quit"

"The Milwaukee case"

"Huh?"

"Both you and Hotch hadn't shown up for a very gruesome case and the next thing I knew both of you came in and Strauss was not happy to see either of you... especially you. What did she promise you?"

"To be the new BAU's Unit Chief..."

"But you quit... why did you comeback, no offence"

"None taken... He came to my condo and he somehow guessed, in other words..."

"Profiled you"

"Yeah and like i'll tell anyone... I hate politics"

"Sounds like you, but he convinced you?"

"Yeah... I hated having to leave and the fact that I got his loyalty gave me hope to remain on the team with you guys"

"Well you pretty much quit your dream job Emily... and decided to remain an agent only, instead of leading, it's totally understandable"

They talked for a while about various things and the girls hanging out together, which only got many laughs form both of them. As the hours went by, JJ saw that she had to go, especially when she saw David Rossi through the window waiting to go see her.

"I'm going to have to go now, you're next visitor is here nad probably has coffee has well"

"Who is it?"

"Dave Rossi"

"The Dave Rossi?"

"Yeah. He got out of retirement a year after you joined the team"

"Wow..."

"Heh..."

"How come?"

"He was a pain in the ass"

"Thought he was better than everyone?"

"Pretty much, but he loosened up after a while and our little family got bigger"

"Do you know anything about Dr. Reid?"

"..."

"What?"

"Nothing, it's just that it's been so long since I've heard you call him Dr. Reid"

"Oh"

"Before you two got together or even before you joined the team; we had a joke about him. We called it the Reid-effect"

"The what – effect?"

"The Reid-Effect. Kids and animals always reacted negatively to him, until you two got together that is"

"Wait... are you saying that... oh god" tears were forming in Emily's eyes, and she fought for them to remain there, "The little girl that was in here nights ago..."

"That's Diana Rose Prentiss-Reid, you're daughter..." JJ answered, while eyeing the floor.

"Wait... the skinny man that called me honey... That's him isn't it. He's my husband?"

"Yeah..."

"I was told it would be a miracle if could ever get pregnant..."

"There have been many women that've given birth to children at the age you were years ago"

"I think I'll take over from here JJ. Garcia wanted me to tell you that Will called on her phone, because his calls to your phone kept going straight to voicemail"

"Okay. I'll see you later Em?"

"Yeah... Can you tell him to come by alone tomorrow... I want to talk to him before meeting Diana"

"Don't forget Robert" Rossi added, after JJ left the room.

"How many kids do I have?"

"How about you drink your cup of coffee" he said while handing her a fresh cup, "And after you've lowered your heart rate then we'll talk okay?" Emily simply nodded before taking a sip of the hot liquid.
