Hello, thanks again for the fantastic reviews. They really keep me going. This Chapter has a lot of longer paragraphs so bear with me please. Slight spoilers, but not much, nothing major. Again, thanks and enjoy...

Dragging her feet, Emily worked her way towards the security room. On one hand, she was pissed that Hotch didn't trust her enough to be physically out there looking for her best friend's son. On the other hand, she was happy she wouldn't be seeing Will LaMontagne. Although she told Hotch that she wouldn't punch him again, she actually didn't know how she would react. Her brain was still boiling from what he did. But she was just glad that Hotch didn't kick her off the case. Maybe he knew that whether he did or not, she still would work on it. Nothing would stop her from finding Henry.

She reached the security room and didn't waste anytime. At the very least she would have Garcia to talk to while she was confined in the small space, barely big enough for two people. Not even knocking, she pushed open the door and almost ran into someone. Looking down, she saw JJ sitting on the ground with her back against the desk. Everyone in the room went silent, frozen awkwardly.

Just a few minutes ago:

JJ was waiting patiently in Garcia's chair in the security room. Oh, who was she kidding. She was about to explode if her friend didn't walk through the door with in the next minute. Low and behold, Garcia opened the door, only slightly shocked to see the small blond sitting in her chair. She figured that if JJ wasn't in the bathroom, puking up stomach acid and crying from all the drama, she was probably waiting for the technical analysis. JJ was one tough cookie, but losing your son and finding out your fiancé is unfaithful and has broke his nose, all in one day can send anyone over the edge.

Upon seeing her broken and confused face, Garcia dropped to her knees and wrapped her friend in a tight hug. JJ reciprocated, and let a fresh new set of tears fall from her eyes. Both woman were pretty sure that she has cried more in the last two hours than in her entire life. After a good two minutes of crying and comforting, JJ had settled her down again and pulled back from the hug. Garcia grabbed JJ's cheeks and wiped a few stray tears with the pad of her thumb.

"Talk to me Jay," Garcia said softly, wanting to help her friend with all that she could.

"I'm so sorry, you should be working." JJ stood up, but Garcia grabbed her hands to stop her. Taking her seat and turning JJ to face her, Garcia fixed her with the most serious stare, that said 'you are going to talk.' JJ sighed and gave in. "I've been having so many conflicting feelings!" She let out, throwing her hands in the air.

"That's understandable. A lot has happened today." Garcia kept her voice calm in contrast to how she treated Emily.

"Not just today," JJ fell to the floor and leaned back against the desk, pulling her knees to her chest. She sighed once again, getting ready for a long story. "I've always felt conflicting feelings towards her. When she first walked into the BAU and asked for help, I knew she was Elle's replacement and I hated her for that. As much as Elle could piss me off, she was still part of the family, but I needed to act professional. Still, I saw how eager she was for this and it reminded me of a kid getting just the toy she wanted for Christmas. Then she helped us out with Derek and she proved that she could be part of our family, but I still had my doubts about her, just like Hotch. And when Henkel kidnapped and tortured Reid, for some reason she was the only one who got through to me, but it bugged me that none of this horror effected her, while I was freaking out from just some dogs."

Garcia moved to interrupt to tell JJ that she had also seen the girl ripped to shreds and that could have been JJ if she hadn't shot those dogs, but then thought better of it. She didn't need to be reminded of that right now.

"After I met Will in New Orleans I thought he would be a good release from everything we worked with. He turned out to be a good distraction from Emily too, that's when I was finally able to let her into our circle. We started to have girl's nights, but old feelings started to surface again. I started to notice little things she did and found that I was starting to get fascinated by her. So, I started to visit Will more often in hopes of changing those feelings. Then I noticed her interaction with children and it amazed me of what a natural mother she was. Especially since she didn't have the best parental guidance when she was younger. And the feelings started up again."

Garcia was starting to smile at the story. She was thrilled to hear her suspicions voiced. She was so happy to hear JJ finally, and truly confide in her.

"Then you were shot" Garcia frowned at the memory. "and she was there to comfort me. While you were in surgery she took a hold of my hand and I didn't want anyone else to comfort me but her. Her touch just made everything feel a little better. The next few cases were hard on all of us and she was always there to comfort me in the end, so I visited Will less often. Then we had the case in Miami where Will showed up and it freaked me out. I was starting to wonder which one I really wanted. Next thing I knew Will asked if I wanted to break it off, and that was my escape. I took it as a sign that I was suppose to go after Emily. But she had to screw it up and tell me to go for Will and I took that as a sign that she didn't like me in that way so I ran after Will and went back into my usual routine."

Garcia wanted to scream at JJ for being an idiot. Tell her that the only reason Emily said to go after Will was because JJ was giving her mixed signals and the brunette only thought that JJ wanted Will and she only wanted JJ to be happy even though she knew it would kill her. But alas, she stayed quiet and let her friend continue.

"Then two weeks later I found out I was pregnant with Henry and I knew I ruined my chances with Emily. I was so terrified to tell Will but when he said he would do anything to help me, I fell into my old feelings for him. Then when the team found out and Emily was so happy I knew there was no going back. And Will gave up his badge for me I was made up my mind. Then, Em got beat up by Cyrus and my heart broke. I was so worried and I was ready to march in there and put a bullet in his head. After she got out she ran to Reid and all I wanted to do was be the one she ran to, but I couldn't blame her, given what happened. Not too long after that, Henry was born and I left on maternity leave and I rarely got to see her. It would have drove me insane if I didn't have my hands full with a new born. Once I came back, she was just as excited to see me as any of you, but nothing more. When we got the case that involved her past, she totally shut down and didn't come to any of us for comfort and it bothered me that I wasn't there with her to help her through it. Then the feelings for her grew and the feelings for Will slowly deflated, but I couldn't do anything because of Henry, and Will loved me. But now I'm starting to question everything-"

JJ finally broke from her rant and ramble when the door opened to reveal the main topic of her prolonged story. Emily stared down at the blond, not sure what she had interrupted and was confused as to what to say. She did just deck her fiancé and she wasn't sure that she was ready to talk to her yet. Garcia sat staring back and forth between the two whose gazes never faltered from each other.

The silence was broken when Garcia stood up, "I'm just going to leave you two to talk." both women's eyes finally broke contact and they looked at Garcia. She leaned over to grab her laptop that rested behind JJ's head and then left the room.

Emily looked back down to the red eyed woman, "How are you feeling Jay?" she said awkwardly while sitting down on the other side of the room, ignoring Garcia's now empty chair. JJ blinked and shook her head violently staring down at the floor. "I'm sorry for punching Will." Emily tried again. Just then JJ saw the bruise on Emily's hand.

"Is your hand okay?" She finally croaked out. Trying to avoid Will completely, she leaned over to take Emily's hand and look it over. In contrast to Garcia's rough grab, JJ was gentle. The shock of JJ's intimate touch left Emily unable to form words, so she just nodded her head, staring at JJ's perfect hands.

"You should see the other guy." Emily chuckled out and then mentally slapped herself. Of course, once she found her voice the first words to come out were a cheesy come back. "Sorry," she apologized lightly.

JJ looked up into Emily's deep brown eyes, "Did you mean it?" she asked wanting to know the truth to all of the drama.

"Which part?"

"About Will? Did he really flirt with someone else while Henry was…" she couldn't even finish the sentence. She didn't have anymore tears to spare.

"I wouldn't lie about that. And I'm really sorry." Emily said sincerely. JJ squeezed her eyes shut and leaned back into Emily. The brunette was caught slightly off guard at first, but soon lifted her arm to wrap it around JJ. JJ clung to Emily's waist and fitted her head between her shoulder and neck. "I'm so sorry, Jennifer." She wasn't sure if it was just because she was so exhausted or what, but for some reason it didn't bother JJ in slightest bit that Emily had used her first name.

Morgan could have sworn that he had interviewed at least fifty people already and he hadn't gotten anything of use. He was tired from the boring assignment, but too wound up from the severity of the situation they are all in. If he didn't find this messed up psycho he wouldn't be able to live with himself. Then Prentiss's words flashed in his head and he changed his attitude. If he didn't find this messed up psycho he was going to make Will pay. The only reason he wasn't over with the ex-detective, giving him a piece of his mind right now was because he was too focused on finding his favorite four year old. Sighing he moved on to the next possible witness.

Just a few feet from Derek Morgan was David Rossi. He too was about to explode from all the dead ends he has run into. So few people had seen their unsub, and those who did had nothing helpful to tell them about her. He thought back to Emily. He had immediately taken a liking to her. She was professional, and knew how to not let her feelings interfere with her job. That's why it came to a shock to him when he heard that she had punch JJ's fiancé. He knew about the hidden hatred she felt toward the southerner and it didn't take him long to find out why and for that reason, he knew she would never hurt JJ. So he quickly came to the conclusion that whatever Will did, the man deserved to have his face a little screwed up. Eh, can't make him look any worse. The older agent rudely thought and chuckled a little at his own lame joke.

Dr. Spencer Reid was good with his brains. Physically he wasn't the best, but when it came to his godson, he would walk through fire. He would even climb the rope in gym class a million times. Running through the every store in the mall was a work out and checking every nook and cranny of every store wore him down, but he had to keep on pushing, for JJ and Henry. Still, having such a vast mind, he could easily multi-task, so it wasn't hard for him to start, for the first time, profiling Emily. He usually respected his fellow co-workers and played the whole naïve little kid, but seeing Emily finally break caused him to rethink all her actions. He couldn't help but notice how although the dark haired woman was man's man, she was drawn closer to JJ and Garcia. Mostly JJ. And although she had many alpha traits to her, she never hesitated to give others credit. Her motherly instincts kicked in whenever there was a child involved in anything. But what she tried to hide was what was always the most interesting. She was in love with JJ.

With the other search party, Aaron Hotchner was checking every inch of every store on the second floor. He was stressed for not only JJ and Henry, but for Emily too. She rarely acted so irrationally, that was part of the reason he didn't take her off the case. If something happened that made Emily punch Will, he was sure the detective deserved it. Still, if the case hit too close to Emily, he couldn't allow her out on the field. He couldn't take the chance of her acting before thinking it through and breaking protocol. Strauss was already watching every little thing the team did and he couldn't risk a slip up. So, he kept her with JJ and Garcia. Safe from too much trouble.

Garcia walked out of the security room, leaving her two friends to work out their discomfort. She knew JJ had to admit her feelings soon and Emily had to be able to be honest with herself and JJ. She knew how it was going to go down too. Emily would show her concern for JJ and apologize for punching Will, even though she wasn't being sincere. JJ would break down, and Emily would comfort her and hopefully, they will get their asses in check and either tell each other how they feel, or at least learn to put this aside for now and find the witch that had Henry.

As Garcia walked over to a nearby table and set her laptop down, going through the list of people who have recently lost their child to the government, something caught her eye. Will was sitting a few tables away from her, talking to one of the police officers for what must have been the hundredth time. He was probably given the same old story and leaving out the fact that he was potentially flirting with another woman while Henry was taken.

She shook off the hatred that was starting to bubble up and turned her focus back on her cyber search. She first searched for single woman in DC who have recently lost a child to the government. Thirty names popped up. She then narrowed it down to losing the child do to mental problems. Twenty-three names. Blond hair, blue eyes. Ten names. Well at least it was easier to look for ten people than a third of the mall. She then proceeded to do background checks on each of the women.

Sarah Bradley, 22. Diagnosed with schizophrenia. Has been hospitalized for the past year. No.

Rachael Carter, 37. Diagnosed with extreme case of bi-polar disease. Recently released from Rehab. Is now in Spain. No.

Barbra Lilan, 28. In a coma for the past 3 months. No

The list continued. None of the women fit. They all have either left the state or have been hospitalized during this time. None of their flight travels had indicated that they have return to the DC area. She quickly called Hotch to inform him that she had hit a dead end on who their mystery woman could be.

"Hotchner." Hotch answered his phone sternly. He was getting frustrated with the lack of evidence and leads to the whereabouts of Henry.

"Hey, boss man." Garcia replied quickly, regretting that she wasn't giving him any good news. "I searched for blond women who have recently lost their child to the government in the DC area and got ten hits." Hotch stood attentive hoping that this would lead him somewhere. "Unfortunately, all of their alibis check out. Most of them are hospitalized, the rest have left either the state or country and haven't returned."

Hotch let out a tensed breath. "Garcia there has to be someone!" he cried, a little more harshly than he had intended.

"I'm sorry." Garcia whimpered, a little frightened by the unit chief's voice.

"Search for women who've lost their sons due to death." He said, slightly more calm.

Garcia's fingers flew across her computer and with in seconds she found 3 people that could possibly fit the profile. "Three people." she informed.

"Due backgrounds on all of them, and then get back to me." Without another word, he flipped his phone shut and let a frantic technician do her magic.

Emily sat holding JJ for what seemed like hours, but was realistically only around ten minutes, but still, that was ten minutes they could have been looking for Henry. She needed to stop letting her emotions toward JJ get in the way of her job. But her mind kept teasing her. What emotions? Well, of course they had to be friendly… that was it, nothing more. There were rules of no dating co-workers. There were laws of no cheating on husbands. And there were morals of no falling for a straight woman. Yet here she was, holding the soon to be married (to a man) Jennifer Jareau, her co-worker.

JJ was wrapped up (both literally and figuratively) in the feel of Emily's arms. She could smell the sweet perfume on the older agent. It wasn't over bearing, but a nice subtle hint that mixed so well with her natural scent. She started to wonder why when everyone else said her first name, she was willing to rip 'em a new one, but when Emily said it, she didn't even react. It had been so long since someone had said her name, that it almost sounded foreign. But that wasn't what stopped her. It was the way the brunette had said it. She used so much power behind it, and with such a soft voice. Emily meant every word she said, and that's what made it sound so right.

JJ had mentally slapped herself over and over again. She shouldn't be think about this while her son was still out there. Softly she retracted herself from Emily's warm embrace. "We should be looking for Henry." she let out quietly. Prentiss nodded, but still looked down with concerned eyes.

"Are you going to be okay?" She asked gently.

JJ shook her head. "Not until we find him." Emily smiled at her honesty. She was glad JJ wasn't denying anything. "Let's go get Garcia and find my baby boy." Emily nodded and stood up, offering JJ her hand. The blond gladly accepted it and was helped up with a light tug from Emily. Once they were standing, they didn't break contact until they reached for the door and stepped outside.

As they found the usually perky Goddess, she was throwing her pen down harshly at the table. "DAMN IT!" she yelled, making the two agents jump behind her.

"I'm guessing you haven't found anything," Emily stated, this time making Garcia jump. She turned and saw the two standing in close proximity and inwardly smiled, but then remembered what Emily had said.

"No, on the contrary. I now know everything about thirteen more people. Unfortunately, none of these people could possibly have kidnapped my dumpling." Neither woman had seen Garcia this angry, ever. The usually upbeat, optimist was literally shaking with rage.

"Well, we're here to help." JJ said, smiling up at Emily who returned her smile. In response Garcia let a smile spread across her lips too. On the worst day of her life, Emily still made JJ smile.

To everyone who made it through this chapter, congrats and thanks. I will try and make the next chapter more interesting. Thank you and keep reviewing. :)
