It had been a few weeks since Emily's return to the Bureau, and to put it lightly, Reid was not coping well. They had had a rough case that day, and JJ, Reid, Morgan and Garcia were planning on going out for dinner and drinks.

"Hey Spence, I have to go stop by my house to tuck Henry in first, but I'll catch up to you guys. Can you tell Em where we're going when she's done talking to Rossi?" JJ asked him.

Reid just nodded in response as JJ hurried out of the office so she wouldn't be too late for drinks with the team.

Later that night, Derek, Reid, JJ and Garcia were seated at their table, waiting for the waitress to come and take their orders.

"Hey where's Em?" Garcia asked. "Didn't you invite her?" She asked JJ.

"I had to leave early so I told Spence to invite her," JJ answered. "She couldn't make it?" JJ asked Reid.

"I guess, yeah," Reid responded, swirling his straw in his chocolate milk he had ordered and avoiding eye contact.

The three others gave him curious looks at his behavior, but didn't push the issue and dinner continued on as it normally would. Well... Other than the giant elephant in the room of their conflicting emotions on the whole "Em is back" thing, that is.

The next day, JJ approached her friend, "Why didn't you come for dinner and drinks with us last night?" She asked Emily.

"You guys went out to dinner last night?" Emily asked.

"Yeah, I had to hurry home to tuck Henry in bed first, so I told Reid to tell you... He didn't say anything?" JJ asked her, confusion written across her features.

Emily shook her head, "No one said anything to me," she replied, hurt evident in her voice, however much she tried to cover it up.

"Em I'm sorry... I knew he was still upset but I didn't think he would refuse to invite you to dinner," JJ said, her voice full of shock. "I'm gonna go talk to him. No matter how upset he is, he shouldn't be treating you like this."

"JJ, don't bother. He has every right to be mad at me," Emily said, sounding resigned to the fact that Reid hated her.

"No he doesn't. If he should be mad at anyone it should be me and Hotch. It was our decision. You were fighting for your life, not playing politics," JJ said.

"Well Reid still isn't talking to you, is he?" Emily asked.

"Not like normal, but at least we could get through dinner together," JJ responded. "Ignoring you is just plain childish-it wasn't your fault."

"JJ, just leave it. He'll come around eventually," Emily said.

JJ sighed, "I won't say anything, but I'm making sure Hotch knows," she replied. "And I'll tell you if we're going out to dinner next time."

Emily half smiled, "Thanks JJ."

"Of course. I have to go and give these files to Pen, I'll be back," JJ said.

"Okay," Emily said, and she made her way to Rossi's office.

"Hey kiddo," Rossi said as she walked in. "You okay?"

Emily just sighed.

"That bad?" Rossi asked.

Emily nodded, "Reid won't talk to me, Morgan is on edge around me and JJ and Garcia are over compensating," she said.

"And you are submissively allowing it to happen," Rossi replied.

Emily raised her eyebrow, "They have every right to be mad at me."

"But they have no right to treat you badly because of it," Rossi told her.

Emily just sighed, not quite believing it when he or JJ said it. "I don't suppose you could tell me how upset you are at me?" Emily asked.

"I'm not upset at all. It was Hotch and JJ's decision. They were doing their bests to keep everyone safe. It's not your fault," Rossi told her.

Emily managed a little smile before Hotch called everyone into he conference room for a case.

"You'll see. They'll be okay soon," Rossi told her as they got up together for he briefing. Emily just hoped he was right.

A/N Idk bout this one... Tell me what you think! Thanks!
