**Important! Please read** I know that originally JJ was the only one to know about Anah. But I have changed it so Penelope, Derek, and Spencer also know. They just do not know about Addiesan yet.
And with that said…
Please enjoy!
7:45 a.m. Saturday, June 17th, 2012.
"Mommy! Mommy! Wake up!" Anah shouts as she jumps on Emily's stomach causing her to let out an 'oof'.
"Oh, bug. Okay, okay, I'm up."
"Momma, can we go to 'da park today?"
"Mmm…I don't know. What's the magic word?"
"P'ease can we go. P'ease, p'ease, p'ease Mommy." The little girl begs cupping her hands together and pouting her lip.
"Oh, I guess so. Is there anyone you want to bring along?"
The little girl's eyes light up and she nods her head rapidly. "Oooh, can we brwing Henwy, and Aun' Jenny, and Laia?"
"Sure you can. How about we go get some breakfast and then I'll call Laila's Mommy to see if she can come? Deal?"
"Okay!"
In the kitchen Emily starts a pot of coffee. Once she has a cup she dials Laila's mom's number.
"Hello?"
"Olivia, it's Emily. Anahbella was wanting to go to the park and she wants to bring Laila along. Would that be okay with you?"
"Oh, hello Emily. Hang on just a moment. I'll go ask her." Olivia comes back a minute later.
"She would love to. Would you like me to bring her over or will you be picking her up?"
"I'll come pick her up. We'll leave here around 10:30. I'll bring some sandwiches and juice boxes along and the kids can have a picnic lunch."
"I'll have her ready then."
"Wonderful. See you then." Emily hangs up and turns to Bella.
"Laila's Mama said she can come. We'll leave at lunchtime, okay? But for now how 'bout some breakfast? What would you like?"
"Frwench toast, p'ease!"
"French toast it is." Emily gets the eggs and bread out and then picks her phone back up. She speed-dials JJ's number and puts it in 'speaker' mode.
"Hi Aun' Emmy!" She hears Henry answer.
"Hey bud. Where's your Mama at?"
"She's in da shower."
"Well, Bella wants to go to the park. Do you and Mama want to come too?"
"Yeah! When we going?"
"Well, I'll pack a picnic lunch and we can go at lunchtime. How does that sound?"
"Good! Mommy's outta the shower now."
"Okay bud. Hand her the phone."
"Hey Em."
"Hey bug. We're going to the park later, you wanna come?"
"Sure. Who's all going?"
"Well, I figured we could call PG and she could meet Bella. Bella's friend from school Laila is coming and then you and Henry."
"Sounds good. When are we leaving?"
"Around 10:30. I figured we could call PG and she can meet Bella. I told Henry I would make some sandwiches and the kids could have a picnic for lunch. Then they can run off their energy for a couple of hours."
"Okay. That sounds good."
Emily dishes the French toast onto a plate and then sprinkles 'snow' over it. She hands it to Bella and then pours her some milk.
"Momma can Aun' Jenny eat brweakfast with us?"
"Well, why don't you ask her?" She scoots the phone closer to the toddler.
"Aun' Jenny come eat wid us, p'ease!"
"What are you guys having for breakfast, Angel?"
"Frwench toast!"
"That sounds good. We'll be over in a few minutes okay? Henry has to put play clothes on."
"Okay! Bye Aun' Jenny."
"Bye, Angel."
At the park. 10:45 a.m.
"Did you call PG, Jen?" Emily asks as she helps the kids out of her car.
"Yep. She said she's meet us here." The two walk to a bench the kids had already ran to.
Emily takes the blanket out of the basket and lays it on the ground just as Penelope, Derek, and Reid walk up.
"Auntie Pen! Uncle Derek! Uncle Spence!" Henry yells excitedly.
"Hey! There's my little man. How are you?" Derek asks picking him up.
"I'm good."
"And who are these two beautiful little girls?" He asks noticing Bella and Laila sitting together on the blanket.
"This is my daughter, Anahbella. Bella, this is Mommy's friends, Penelope, Derek, and Spencer." Then she points to Laila.
"Amd this is Bella's friend from school, Laila."
"Hey there, munchkin. You look just like your Momma." Derek says to the little girl causing her to beam.
"Hi Derek! Hi Pen'lope! Hi Spencer!" She says to each person.
"Hi there." PG says.
"Hey kiddo." Spencer greets her.
"Hi, Uncle Spence!" Bella says happily. The she turns to Emily. "Momma, can we eat now?"
"Sure." Emily hands out all the sandwiches giving the extra ones to the rest of the adults.
After lunch. 10:45 a.m.
After they eat lunch Derek and Spencer go over to the playground to supervise the kids while PG gets to know Emily better.
"So, Jayje, I've noticed you've been a lot happier since Emily joined the team. If you don't mind me asking, did you two know each other before now?"
"¿Crees que deberíamos decirle?" JJ ask with a smile. You think we should tell her?
"Todo depende de usted, mariposa." It's up to you, butterfly.
"Well, on the first day of kindergarten for me I was sitting on the playground. All my friends were in a different class so I didn't have anyone to play with. Emily came over and asked me my name. Then we started playing tag."
"It kind of went on from there. She would walk me to and from school and she spent the night at my house a lot of the time. She was my best friend. She is my best friend. She uh…she helped me through my sister's suicide."
"No matter how old she got or even when she was in high school she was still there for me. When I was eleven years old she broke the news that she had to leave again. Since her mother is the ambassador she moved around a lot. So she spent the night with me, the next morning we made French toast together, and then she walked me to school one last time."
"For my seventh birthday she gave me a necklace just like this one except in blue and green." JJ holds out the necklace around her neck.
"Wait. If she gave you a blue and green one then why are you wearing that one?"
well, like I said when I was eleven she had to move. She walked me to school and kissed on the forehead. She told me that she would find me again someday. Then she gave me her necklace."
"She never took it off. Ever. But she took it off that day and told me to hold on to it. She said that this was proof that she would see me again someday. I gave her mine so she could always remember me."
"A few years went by and I was in high school. I had a boyfriend. His name was Kevin. He asked me to prom and I said yes. So the night of I got ready and was eagerly awaiting him to pick me up."
"What happened?"
"Well, after him being an hour late I called to see what was up. My former friend Lacey answered the phone. He had cheated on me with her."
"What a jerk!"
"Yeah. Well I was mad. I stomped upstairs and went to bed. I didn't know it but my mom had called Emily after I went upstairs. She was living in London at the time. And Emily and her friend John got on her private jet and flew all the way to Pennsylvania. The next day Emily came upstairs to wake me up. I was ecstatic to see her. She French braided my hair and I put my dress back on and went downstairs."
"Her friend John was standing there. He was in a tux. We danced to a couple of songs and it was ten times better than the actual prom would have been."
"Oh, Em. That's so sweet. You flew all the way here just for that?"
"Yes, I did." Emily replies. "I figured after five years a face to face meeting was long overdue."
"That was the last time I saw her face to face until earlier this week."
"Oh, I still have the picture your mom took." Emily says. She reaches into the picnic basket and takes our her wallet. She takes two pictures out and hands them to Penelope.
"The one of us as kids is the first day of first grade for Jen and sixth grade for me. I was eleven and she was six. The other one is of John, her, and me at the makeshift prom."
"Oh, you two were so cute! And I love the dress Jayje." Penelope says as she hands back the photos.
After a couple more hours of playing everyone was exhausted. Emily decides to gather the kids up and take them back to her apartment for nap time. Derek and Spencer go their separate ways as does Penelope.
Here it is. Everyone but Rossi and Hotch knows about Anah. The next chapter will be the last.
In case I forget to mention it in the next chapter, a BIG thanks to everyone who reviewed, favorited, and followed this or me. This story has been so much fun writing, especially the chapters with our girls when they were younger!
