AN: So I'm currently stuck under a wardrobe. (Don't ask.) So I thought I'll update today instead of Monday. On Monday it's my first day back at college so I'm gonna be busy.

This is the last chapter I have betaed so far so I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to update next monday. I'll try my best and get in touch with my beta.

By the way my beta CriminalMinds99 is the best you should be reading her stories. Like seriously.

DISCLAIMER: Same as always.

After Emily showered she threw herself on the bed her and Hotch shared, grateful to be finally going to sleep. It had been a long and emotionally draining day.

"I can't wait to just go to sleep" She yawned, Hotch laughing as he threw on his pyjama top.

"It's been a long day. At least I have tomorrow off so I can 'hide away in my office' and we can all have a lie in" Emily smiled happily, wrapping up in the duvet.

"Finally a highlight to this undercover business. I'm just grateful we don't have to pretend inside the house, I mean it's nice to let loose and not be so stuck up like we had to be"

"I know. I mean, JJ really needed today and covering that up would have been hard" The mention of JJ's outburst today hit Emily hard, the brunette still feeling slightly at blame for situation.

"Do you think she will be okay? I mean I heard your conversation and I still think she is hiding something from us, not just about her childhood. Something recent. It's scared me" Hotch nodded, climbing into bed next to her.

"I know it has worried me to, but until this is over we can't force it out of her. The second this is done with if we still don't know I will sit down with her and talk"

"You know, I think Derek can get it out of her. The two have been a lot closer than usual over the past few months after the last case. Maybe he can talk to her"

"I agree. But right now, it's an issue for another day. The two are sleeping soundly and we know for now JJ will be okay, so let's get a good night's sleep and tomorrow we will work on the case" Emily nodded in agreement, the two turning to turn the lights off on the side of the bed, plunging them into darkness.

"Goodnight" They both said, the two asleep seconds after.

It was 3am and JJ couldn't help noticing Reid tossing and turning in his sleep. She had woken about an hour prior and sat up reading for a while, but for the past 20 minutes Reid had been groaning and sleeping restlessly. She decided to get up and wake him up, knowing keeping him in his world of nightmares was hell, she knew from experience. She walked over to his bed, shaking his shoulder slightly.

"Reid. Reid wake up" She whispered calming, Reid jolting awake slightly. He looked to her, a small frown on his face.

"Is everything okay?" He asked, sitting up while rubbing his eyes.

"Yeah, you sounded like you were having a nightmare so I wanted to see if you were okay." She said smiling slightly. He nodded, frowning as he tried to recall the dream he was having.

"I can't even remember it properly" She nodded knowingly, knowing she would wake in the night terrified but not know why half the time.

"Why were you awake?" He asked, JJ sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I don't know, I was having trouble sleeping so decided to sit up and read for a bit" He nodded, knowing he probably wouldn't get any more out of her.

"Do you think we should go and wake them up?" He asked, actually quite nervous about waking them.

"I don't know. I know they told us to but it's so awkward because we are in our 20's and here we are having trouble sleeping. It's so stupid" JJ said truthfully, Reid nodding in agreement. He knew what she meant, but also if they were very tired in the morning then Hotch and Emily would know they had another bad night and be angry even more.

"You know if we are really tired in the morning they will know anyway. Maybe if we just tell them we can't sleep they won't be that mad" JJ sighed, knowing it was the right thing to do. She nodded and climbed off Reid's bed, helping him down as they both crept to the room across the hall. JJ sniggered slightly at the sound of Hotch's small snores, Reid giggling with her. They stepped into the room, cringing when a floor board creaked under their feet. JJ watched as Hotch slowly sat up, rubbing his tired eyes. He opened them fully, seeing JJ and Reid looking at him with wide eyes.

"Is everything okay?" He asked, whispering so he wouldn't wake Emily who grunted slightly in her sleep.

"Spence was having a nightmare" JJ said, Reid noticing how she avoided the fact she wasn't asleep either when he started stirring.

"Do you want to talk about your dream?" He asked, patting the side of the bed, Reid running and climbing in next to him. JJ smiled at his childlike antics, standing awkwardly in the doorway.

"I don't remember it. It's a little weird. I remember being really uncomfortable and then JJ woke me" He shrugged, Hotch nodding knowing that not all kids can recall their dreams after waking in a startle.

"Do you want to come downstairs and get a glass of water? We can watch TV for a bit until you feel tired again" Hotch suggested, Reid nodding.

"Do you want me to wake Emily?" Hotch asked JJ who was messing with her fingernails in the doorway. She looked up, just as Emily started waking. She looked around confused, JJ grinning at the state of her hair which was sprawled all over her face.

"Wait, did we agree on a family meeting this early in the morning?" She asked with a frown, Hotch just shaking his head with a smirk as he led Reid out the room. JJ moved further into the room, watching Emily sit up a little more in bed.

"Are you okay?" She asked JJ when she sat on the chair next to the bed.

JJ just looked at her with a half-smile, Emily remembering their conversation earlier. She patted the bed next to her, watching JJ climb up and make herself comfy in front of her.

"How long have you been awake?" She asked, JJ starting to mess with her fingernails again, not keeping eye contact.

"About an hour or so. I was reading for a while then Spence starting tossing and turning so I decided to wake him. He was scared you would notice how tired he was so we came and wake you. Hotch is sitting downstairs with him until he gets tired again" JJ said, still not looking up from her hands.

"Come on, you can sleep with me tonight. Hotch can take the beds in your room" She said with a smile, JJ looking up with a small smile. She climbed under the duvet with Emily, the brunette straight away noticing how relaxed she became being in the comfort of the bed.

"How many did you have before you woke up?" She asked, JJ looking away again.

"I don't know? A few" She shrugged, not really wanting to talk about them.

"Want to talk about them?" Emily asked, but JJ shook her head.

"Not really. I'm fine" Emily didn't believe her but decided not to press on any more detail, instead she held JJ tighter. She smiled down at her.

"Come on, try and get some sleep okay?" JJ nodded, snuggling into Emily as she hummed herself a lullaby, sending both her and Emily into a deep sleep.

Downstairs Hotch made him and Reid a cup of water, the two sitting on the couch with the TV playing lowly in the background.

"I'm just going to check on JJ and Emily" Hotch said, leaving and popping his head into his room. He heard JJ humming and saw her and Emily looking to be asleep. He knew 4 would be a crowd so quickly pushed Reid's and JJ's beds together, running back into Reid who was staring at the TV drinking his water.

"JJ and Emily are asleep in my bed so I pushed the two single beds in your room together for us to sleep on" He said, Reid looking up to him with a frown.

"Isn't that a little weird though?" He said, Hotch smiling as he sat back down.

"No it's fine. I mean, if you can share a bed with Morgan being your normal age, sleeping next to me in an 8 year olds body shouldn't be that bad" Reid blushed, flashbacks to him and Morgan sharing a bed on a case in Ohio flooded his mind.

"Okay but this stays between us"
