Summary: Reid and Prentiss are seeing each other, but Reid has a secret about another team member which could threaten is new relationship.
Notes: Elle comes to get Sky and gets a surprise. I can't believe that this fic is so long but it's almost done how did that happen? Thank you for all the support it means so much to me, I am blown away by the positive response. I'm just trying to show that Prentiss and Reid have been able to accept Elle as part of her life, as well as Elle accepting them.


Elle was glad to be back in Virginia, there was something about it that made it feel like home. She drove to Reid's place, needing to pick up Sky. She knocked on the door gently and was surprised that Prentiss answered. Both women were trying to be nice to each other, it was strange being face to face without Reid there.

"Where's Sky?" Elle asked.

"Follow me, and keep quiet," Prentiss whispered.

"Um, all right," she said uncertainly.

The two women walked down the hall to Sky's room without making another sound. Elle carefully pocked her head around the corner, and had to stop herself from laughing out loud at the scene in front of her. Reid and Sky were having a tea party. Reid had somehow managed to sit on the little chair of Sky's table set without breaking it. He also had a flowery hat on his head, while Sky was wearing a tiara, and dress up gloves. Both of them were wearing purple feather boas. Prentiss motioned for Elle to follow her to the kitchen, where the two women almost lost it laughing.

"Tell me you got a picture," Elle laughed.

"Yes, but if Spencer asks I didn't. I was given strict instructions to stay in this part of the house, but I couldn't help myself," Prentiss explained. "Would you like some coffee?"

"Coffee would be great, thank you. I'd hate to think about what Morgan would say if he saw him dressed up like that."

"I don't plan on showing Morgan. I'm sure Garcia will be over the moon when she sees these pictures though. It amazes me what some fathers will do to make their kids happy."

"My phone died and I left my charger here, and I couldn't talk to her yesterday. I feel so guilty. Was Sky upset?"

Prentiss nodded. "Yeah, she hardly touched her breakfast this morning. She misses you, she said she's never been away from you for two nights before."

"I didn't even think about that before I left. I thought that since she was with her father she'd be all right."

"Change isn't easy for any kids. Between knowing that she's going to be moving and not having you here I think she got homesick. You can tell her you're here."

"I want to see her but I don't really want to interrupt their tea party."

Prentiss had finished pouring the coffee and handed Elle a mug. "Do you need anything for the coffee?"

"Just milk."

Prentiss took the milk out of the fridge and handed her the jug. The two of them started to talk mostly about being in the BAU. They were both surprised that they were getting along so well and were able to just talk. They both knew it would be easier if they could get along. Sky came into the kitchen, her eyes lit up when she saw her mother.

"Mommy!" she exclaimed, going to hug her.

Elle was quick to react and put the mug down before Sky burned herself. She hugged her daughter back tightly. Elle then lifted Sky into her arms glad to be home again. Sky curled into her, resting her head on Elle's shoulder. She kissed her cheek. Both women tried not to laugh when they saw Reid come into the room.

"I missed you so much Sky," Elle told her.

"I missed you too Mommy. Did you have fun in New York?"

"Not really, I missed you too much to have any fun. But your bed will be all set up when we get home."

"Cool! I missed my bed. Is my room gonna be the same?"

"It's going to have all of our things in it but I haven't had time to paint it the same as your old room sweetheart, I'm sorry."

"Oh," Sky whispered. "That's okay Mommy. I liked my old room though."

"I know and I can make it look almost the same, but it might take a few weeks. There's a lot of stuff I still need to do at our new house."

"Okay, Mommy, I'll help!"

"I know you will, Sky, you're always a big helper."

"Cool! But the mover people have my bed ready for me?"

"Yes, they are supposed to have your bed all ready for you to sleep in when we get there."

"Can we go now?"

"Sky, that's rude to your dad."

She looked down at the floor. "Oh, I'm sorry Daddy, I miss my bed. But I like the one I got here."

"I know Sky, it's not the same," Reid assured her. "It's all right. Tux told me that you have been telling him all about your bed at home, and it sounds pretty cool. He also told me that he hopes your bed there is smaller so he stops losing you in the middle of the night."

"Really?!"

"Yeah, he's pretty excited about getting to see his new house too. Do you want to have lunch here or with your mom?"

"Um, would it be okay if I had lunch with Mommy?"

Reid smiled. "That's fine. It's pretty exciting to get to see your new house. I'll call you before bed Princess."

"Can you call a little early tonight Spencer?" Elle asked.

"Yeah, sure no problem. She's had a long couple of days an early bedtime in her own bed is a great idea."

"I'm right here I'm not that tired!" whined Sky.

"Here come give me a big hug, and then go get Tux and I'll see you both on Wednesday at the latest."

"Cool!"

Sky went into her room and got her teddy bear. She then got her shoes and jacket on. Elle put her shoes back on and took the backpack she had packed for Sky, with some extra clothes and toys for her to play with. Sky then went to give Reid a hug.

"I love you Daddy," she said kissing his cheek.

"I love you too Princess," Reid told her

"I love you Emily," Sky said hugging Prentiss.

"I love you too Sky, be good for your mommy okay?"

Sky smiled. "I will."

Sky then went over to Elle and took her hand as they left Reid's place. She strapped Sky into her booster seat, and drove to their new home. She had decided not tell Sky that Dale had come to visit her, she wanted to surprise the little girl. Dale had agreed to stay and help unpack Sky's room.
