Emily Prentiss sits in SSA Aaron Hotchner's office waiting for him and the team to get back from their latest case. About two hours later and the team was finally back. Hotch walks into his office and stops when he notices Emily sitting there.

"Please tell me you didn't wait there all day."

"No sir, I heard you were getting back today, so I decided to wait. I know what you're thinking and my mom had no part in me getting this job. I want it because I'm a hard worker and I really want to be a part of this team."

After much discussion, Hotch decides to give Emily a trial run. He gives Emily her gun and badge and then escorts her to the bullpen to introduce her to the rest of the team.

"Emily, if you'll follow me to the briefing room, I'll introduce you to Agent Jareau, our liaison." Hotch says.

Emily pauses in following him and smiles. Her Bug is an FBI agent.

"Uh sir? Is her first name Jennifer?"

"Yes, it is. You're familiar with her?" They were now outside the briefing room with the door closed. Emily reaches out to stop him from opening the door.

"Actually I've known her since she was about five years old. But I haven't seen her in a little over a decade. Could I…possible go in alone? I want to surprise her."

Hotch gives a rare smile and nods his head. "Absolutely. I'll be in my office if you need me."

"Thank you sir." She watches him walk away as she pulls out her phone and dials Sandy's number. Once she has JJ's cell number, she dials it and waits for an answer.

"Agent Jareau."

Emily smiles again. The title certainly suits her. "Hey, Bug. I was just wondering how your day is going."

"Hey Em! It's okay. What are you up too?"

"Actually, if you'll open the door to the room you're standing in, you'll find out."

"Wait, what? What do you mean the ro-" She opens the door and pauses in her sentence. Then she lets out a scream, and lunges at Emily.

"Oh, my God! Em! What are you doing here? Wait. How did you get clearance into the building?"

Emily pulls her badge out and hands it over. "Well, I'm pretty sure they give you clearance if you have one of these." JJ's face lights up and she hugs Emily again.

"Oh, my God! You're an FBI agent?!"

"Yep. Well, actually I'm on a trail run. Apparently, no one knew I was coming. So." She shrugs best she can with JJ's arms still wrapped around her.

After talking for a few more minutes and then JJ briefing the team on the case they had, they all board the plan.


Plane ride.

On the plane they go over the case again in depth and then have about an hour and a half to just rest.

Spencer and Derek both notice that JJ's mood has brighten, way more than it was that morning. Even Dave notices it. Hotch especially is glad he let Emily meet JJ alone. He had heard her scream and stepped out of his office just in time to see the blonde tackle Emily in a hug.

"Entonces, ¿cómo es mi pequeña mariposa ? Todo lo que está crecido." Emily asks. So, how is my little butterfly? You're all grown up.

"Estoy bien. Tengo un trabajo , un novio , todo lo que siempre he querido . Sobre todo porque ahora estás aquí." JJ replies. I'm good. I have a job, a boyfriend, everything I've always wanted. Especially since you're here now.

Emily looks impressed that JJ can now roll her 'rs' while Derek looks impressed that she can speak Spanish.

"Mírate! Rodando el r!" Look at you! Rolling your r's!

"Woah, JJ, how come you never told us that you could speak Spanish?" Derek asks.

JJ shrugs, "I just never had a reason too."

"¿Habla usted español, Derek?" Emily asks, smiling when Derek looks confused. Do you speak Spanish, Derek?

"She asked if you speak Spanish." JJ translates for him.

Derek shakes his head. "Nope."

"Qu'en est-il français?" What about French?

Again Derek shakes his head.

The rest of the trip is filled with Emily and JJ conversing back in forth in French and Spanish.


Emily's first case was a hard one. Three kids snatched out of the park over the course of three weeks.

Hunter Engles, age 5, blonde hair and green eyes.

Maria Sanchez, age 7, brown hair and brown eyes.

Amanda Swift, age 8 and a half, blonde hair and brown eyes.

Little Hunter was killed and found four days after being taken. The team was able to save Maria and Amanda before something else happened to them and arrest the UnSub. He had been kidnapped as a kid himself and had grown up helping his 'father' choose his brothers and sisters.


Back at the office. Thursday, around noon.

"Hey, Jen. You want to come over to my apartment? I have someone that you need to meet." Emily suggests, wanting to introduce her daughter to JJ.

"Actually there's someone I want you to meet, too."

"Well, how about I give you my address, and then you come over?"

JJ agrees and gets her bags and heads to the elevator.


Emily's apartment. 1:15 p.m.

Emily walks into her apartment and is greeted by Alex her babysitter.

"Hey Alex. Sorry you had to stay so long. Here's the money for the last couple of nights."

"It wasn't a problem at all, Miss Emily. Anah is such a sweetheart." After Alex leaves Emily goes to the living room where her three year old daughter is playing with toys.

"Hi, baby! Come here!"

"Momma! You home!" The toddler says happily.

"Yes, I am baby. I missed you. Mommy's got a surprise for you."

"'Prise?"

"Yep, I have a prise. You're going to meet your Aunt Jenny."

"Aun' Jenny!" Anah's face lights up remembering all the stories of JJ Emily had told her.

"Yes, do you remember what Mommy said about Aunt Jenny?"

"Aun' Jenny Momma's butterfwy."

"Yes, she is."


Across town. JJ's house.

"Mommy's home!" JJ shouts as she walks in the door.

"Mommy!" JJ's three year old son, Henry, comes running from the kitchen.

"Hi, baby. Oh, Mommy missed you lots. What were you doing?"

"Daddy says wait for you to get home. Then we 'cide on lunch." JJ picks Henry up and walks into the kitchen.

"Actually, Mommy has somewhere to take you. I ran into an old friend of mine. You are going to get to meet your Aunt Emily."

"Aunt Emmy!"

"Excuse me?" Will says.

"Hi, Will. I uh ran into an old friend of mine today. I'm going to take Henry to meet her." JJ says. She put Henry on the ground.

"Go pick out a car to take to Emmy's and wait for me in your room, okay bud?"

"Okay, Mommy."

Will waits for him to leave the room before turning to JJ. "What the hell, JJ? You've been gone for almost the entire week, and then you come home and instead of spending time me and our son, you want to run off again. No. I'm not letting you do that."

"What are you going to do Will? You're not the boss of me. I don't want to argue about this." JJ turns to leave but Will grabs her arm and yanks her back.

"I don't think you understood. You're going to stay home with us." Will growls.

JJ yanks her arm out of Will's grip. "No, William. You didn't hear me. I am going to take my son and go see my friend who I haven't seen since I was a teenager. And there's nothing you can do to stop me. You're not the boss of me."

Upstairs JJ grabs a backpack.

"Okay, bud. Let's put some pjs in here so we can have a sleepover at Aunt Emmy's."

"Yay! Can I bring my Turtles pjs? Please Mommy?"

"Sure, go get them." Henry grabs the pajamas out of his dresser and hands them to JJ.

"Good. Now, go get your toothbrush and toothpaste from the bathroom."

While he was getting those things JJ takes the dirty clothes out of her bag and putting clean ones in. She dumps the dirty ones in the hamper and then goes back to Henry's room.

"Pick out a stuffed animal to sleep with tonight, bud, and then get your shoes on."

"Okay Momma." Henry grabs the stuffed dinosaur that he had received for his birthday that year.

"I'm ready, Momma."

"Okay, buddy. Let's hit the road."


Back at Emilys house.

Emily had just got Anah situated with a peanut butter sandwich when her doorbell rang. She goes over to answer it and sees JJ and a little boy that looks just like her standing there.

"Hey, Bug. Come on in." Emily waves them in and to the living room.

"Anah, come here sweetie." The little girl jumped up from her spot at the coffee table and ran over to her mom.

"This is your Aunt Jenny. Can you say 'hi'?"

"Holà!"

"Hola cariño. Este es mi hijo pequeño, Henry." Hi, sweetie. This is my little boy, Henry.

Anah glances up at Emily thrilled to meet someone other than her Papa and Mama that speaks Spanish.

"Momma?" Henry says. "What did you say?"

"I told Anah that your name was Henry. Can you say to her?"

"Hi, Anah!"

"Henry, would you like some lunch?"

"Can I Momma?"

"Sure bud. What do you want?"

"What do you got, Aunt Emmy?"

"Well, I probably have some nuggets. I think I have jelly for a pb and j sandwich. And I may have mac and cheese."

"Can I have mac and cheese and nuggets, p'ease?"

"Sure you can. You want to go sit by Anah and see if there's any cartoons on?"

"Yeah!" The little boy runs over to sit by Anah. The two continue watching an episode of Bubble Guppies.

Emily turns to see JJ looking at her and smiles.

"I can't believe how grownup you are, Bug." She says. "You have a beautiful little boy who looks just like you and you work for the FBI. I'm very proud of you, butterfly."

"I missed you, Emmy."

"I missed you too, sweetheart. Come here." The two hug for a few moments before they are interrupted by Henry.

"Aunt Emmy, are my nuggets ready?"

"Not yet, buddy. I have to put them in the oven. But how about you go wash your hands and then come help me with the mac and cheese. Deal?"

"Okay!"

"The bathroom is upstairs, second door on your right." Emily tells JJ.

"Okay. Come on, bud. Let's go wash up."

The tow come back just as Emily is setting the timer.

"Okay Henry. Come here please." Emily helps him up on the stool.

"Okay, I need you to pour this box of noodles in the water. Careful. Don't spill any."

Henry does as told and then hands the box back. "Good job, buddy. Okay now we can go watch some cartoons until this is ready."


A couple of hours later.

"Okay. I think it's time for two certain three year olds to take a nap." JJ says.

"Come on, you two. I'll put in a movie to watch." Henry and Anah get up with limited complaining and follow Emily upstairs. She puts in a Scooby Doo movie and lays down a couple of blankets in the floor for Henry.

"Hey Em?" JJ says when she returns downstairs.

"Yes?"

"Uh…I know I didn't mention this earlier, but is it okay for Henry and I to stay here?"

"Of course. You know you're always welcome."

"Okay. Thanks."

"No problem, Bug." Emily sits back down on the couch and pulls up the recordings on the tv. "You want to watch The Little Mermaid until the two rugrats get up?"

"Yeah." JJ smiles.


So this chapter was for Hippiechic81.

Did you know: That the first Amber Alert was named after a 9 year old named Amber Hagerman. She was kidnapped while riding her bike in a shopping center near her home. Her body was found four days later and her death enraged the community. The people got together and called the radio station and told them to broadcast special "alerts" whenever a child went missing.

On December 11, 2002 at 8:16 am, the state of Nebraska issued the first Amber Alert for 9 month old Brodjinique Dunn. He was found unharmed just before 11 a.m. in the back of his grandmother's stolen car.

Please review! I'm closing in on the end of this story.
