A/N: This chapter it dedicated to my best friend, who helped me with this chapter... sorry for the random quetions hun! love ya!
Once the girls had arrived at the camp, they handed in all their forms and received a folder with all the information pertaining to the week ahead. They were led into the hall to meet up with the other cheerleaders who would be attending the camp. After meeting everyone, JJ needed to walk outside and get some air as she began to feel like she was trapped in the room with no air. She saw a balcony and stepped out onto it, breathing in some of the fresh air.
Stacy came out onto the balcony and looked at her. "You ok honey?" she asked concerned. JJ turned around startled and saw it was Stacy, their possible un-sub. Her heart began to beat really fast. "Yeah, I'm fine, just needed some air, the whole thing is overwhelming."
"Oh honey, believe me, I know how overwhelming it can be," Stacy replied with a fake laugh. "Well, if you need anything, come see me in my office," and with that, she walked off.
JJ watched her go and then groaned mentally when Laura, Samantha, Kelly and Taylor ran up to her. Taylor was beaming, like everybody else, but by her body language you could tell it was fake. "Oh my god, you met Stacy? What's she like? I'm so jealous of you," Samantha said.
JJ smiled at their enthusiasm. "Yeah, she just came up here and started talking to me. She seems to be nice." Laura, Samantha and Kelly, oblivious to the possible danger they were in, kept asking her questions about it, while Taylor scowled and stormed off. JJ excused herself and followed Taylor out into the deserted corridor.
"What is your problem?" she asked Taylor who was still walking away. "You have disliked me since the moment you met me, and you never even gave me a chance,"
Taylor stopped walking and turned around to face her. "You come to our school three or so weeks before this camp, you get onto the squad, you come to this camp. There is something about you ok; your, your file is too perfect as is the timing. I don't trust you, and no one will listen to me, but I will find out what you're hiding," Taylor spat at her before running off. JJ just stood there in shock.
"Kate, you ok?" Dana asked coming up behind JJ.
"Yeah I'm fine," she replied looking at her, wondering what she was doing here.
"Stacy, the owner here is going to make a speech," Dana said and she pointed in the direction of the hall, where Stacy was addressing the audience. Everyone instantly stopped talking and turned to face the stage, giving Stacy their full attention. JJ walked into the hall with Dana and noticed that Emily was standing at the back of the stage.
"Hey everyone!" Stacy began "My name's Stacy for those who don't know me. Welcome to my cheerleading camp. What we want to achieve from this camp, is to improve all of your cheerleading skills, and make you the best cheerleaders you can be." Everyone cheered and Stacy smiled while waiting for them to finish. "You have all been selected by your school, which means you are the best, so I expect only the best from you. At the end of the week, we will have a huge concert to show off your newly learned skills, all your parents and friends are invited. Oh, and because of the cheerleaders who have been murdered up in New York, I have asked some FBI agents to be here for your protection. I want nothing but the best for all of you." Everyone applauded and cheered like crazy as Stacy walked off stage, while all JJ wanted was to be sick because of what Stacy had said. According to Hotch, she had been against having an FBI agent at the camp.
Laura and Kelly came running up to JJ. "Can you believe her? She is amazing," Kelly said.
"I know, I mean, she asked FBI here for our protection that is so cool. I am so excited to be here," Laura squealed. They looked around for Samantha but instead saw Emily talking to one of the leaders. "Oh that's the FBI agent form our school, I wonder if her husband is here."
Samantha appeared with Dana seconds later, who explained that she was going to take them back to the hotel. They went over to the corner where they had left their luggage and picked it up to take back to the car. JJ noticed that the zippers were in a different position and freaked out that someone had opened her bag and stolen something so she opened it up, and found a small black bag with a note.
You might need this.
The note wasn't signed but JJ knew the hand writing. It was Emily's and JJ assumed in the bag was her gun and ID, which she had asked Reid to look after for her while she was at school. She had assumed that she wouldn't need them until she got to the camp. How much of a threat could high school cheerleaders be?
JJ quickly zipped up her bag and raced out to the car with the others where they were standing around impatiently. "What's going on?" JJ asked reaching them.
'Car won't start," Dana said from the front seat.
"I can take them," Emily said arriving behind JJ "I don't mind."
"Are you sure?" Dana asked getting out of the car.
"Not at all, and my car is just over there," she pointed over to the black SVU parked across from Dana's car.
"We'll thank you," she replied turning to the others. "This is agent Prentiss. She will take you guys to your hotel. I'll be around later to talk to you guys about schedules and some other information later tonight."
The girls grabbed there suitcases from Dana's car and walked across to where Emily's car was parked and put them into the now opened back doors before getting into the car. Samantha sat in the front next to Emily with Kelly, Laura and JJ were in the back. Taylor had gotten a lift earlier when she had stormed off.
This was really awkward for JJ, being in the car with Emily but not being able to talk freely with her. She decided to say something though, to break the awkward silence in the car. "Thank you," JJ said looking towards the front seat and looking in the rear view mirror. Emily caught her eye and winked. "Your welcome," was the reply.
"So," Laura said breaking the silence "your FBI. What's that like? A total boys club?"
"Actually, there are a couple of females that I work with, they're great, but I also enjoy working with the guys, there great. And working with the FBI is…" she trailed off to think about it "well I guess I really enjoy it, but some days, after all the horrible things I've seen, I just want to quit. Some of the things I have seen really get to me."
Laura continued to ask Emily questions about the FBI, which really began to get to JJ and Emily could see it, so she changed the topic.
"So tell me… Looking forward to the camp?"
Everyone began to talk about how excited they were and how happy they were to get chosen and be able to attend, and how much fun it would be. Everyone that was, except JJ.
Emily took her eyes off the road for one second and looked in the mirror and saw how sad JJ looked. Well, not exactly true, she looked happy but by her body language, you could tell it was faked.
Emily didn't push it and soon they pulled up at the hotel, where Emily checked them in, before sending them up to their rooms. Emily then checked herself in and walked up to her room. There were three rooms, one for Kelly and JJ, the second for Laura and Samantha, and the third for Taylor, who was sharing with someone else from another school.
JJ got into her room and dumped her stuff on her bed before flopping down on it and staring at the ceiling. Kelly put her stuff at the end of her bed. "I'm going to go explore, you want to come?" JJ shook her head and Kelly shrugged before walking out of the room. JJ put her hand over her stomach which had just started to show and whispered "I'm sorry to put you through this."
There was a knock at the door and JJ jumped, not knowing who it was. She went over and looked through the peep hole on the door, and smiled when she saw who it was before opening the door and ushering them in. She hugged him gratefully, before pulling away and shutting the door.
"Thanks for the present," JJ said smiling at Reid.
"Hey, no worries, I said I would look after them for you. And Emily thought you'd want them sooner rather then later, so she slipped it into your bag at the reception hall." Reid said to JJ, who suddenly burst into tears and he dragged her over to the bed, telling her to sit, which she did. "What's wrong JJ?" he asked.
She smiled through her tears up at him. "You're my best friend, and I love you, you know that right?" she asked. Reid nodded. "I can tell you anything, right?"
"Yes, JJ, you know that," Reid replied looking at her. There was definitely something on her mind.
"Ok, well, it's just this case you know… it's really getting to me," she said hoping that that would be a reasonable excuse. She didn't know why, but all of a sudden, she felt scared to tell him, afraid of his reaction, which was stupid because they were best friends, and told each other everything. She even helped him out when he had his drug problem, but now she was scared to tell him the truth…
"I can see that, but JJ, I know you, there is something else bothering you," Reid said really concerned.
She avoided looking at him and looked at the walls, hoping to find something interesting to look at. Finally, she realized she had no choice but to tell him. "Reid," she began taking a deep breath "I'm pregnant."
Reid gasped in shock and was silent for a minute to try and take the entire entire thing in. "I… I didn't know you were seeing anyone." JJ looked at Reid and saw a hurt look in his eyes. "I'm… I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, I was just -" before she had a chance to complete her sentence, there was a knock at the door.
"Kate, open up," Samantha called out. JJ freaked out and for a minute couldn't think. She grabbed Reid by the collar of his shirt and pushed him under the bed, before walking over and opening the door for Samantha, who pushed her way into the room followed by Laura and Kelly.
"Ok girl, we are going out for dinner at the hotel restaurant tonight, it looks fantastic," Laura said smiling looking carefully at JJ, noticing the red rims around her eyes, signifying she had been crying.
"Girl, what's wrong?" she asked putting her arm around her and leading her to the bed, sitting down and pulling JJ with her.
"Nothing, just had a bad fight with my dad that's all."
"Aww… I'm sorry, well, how about we raid the mini fridge to make up for it?" Samantha suggested walking over to the fridge in the room and pulling out the little bottles of alcohol. She tossed one to Laura who caught it, and then one to Kelly who caught it, before bringing over one for JJ.
JJ looked uncertainly at it. "I might just stick to soda or water." The others shrugged while JJ got up and got herself a bottle of water from the fridge. They spread out on the beds and turned on the TV, luckily finding a movie on it to watch.
While they were watching it, JJ kept nervously looking at the bottom of the bed, hoping that Reid wasn't finding it too uncomfortable under the bed. She couldn't think of a good excuse to get the girls out of the room so she could get Reid out. She got restless on the bed so she sat down on the ground and looked under the bed at Reid. "Sorry, Can't get rid of them," she mouthed.
When the movie finished half an hour later, the girls finally went back to there room and Kelly decided to go with them to see Laura's dress. JJ told them she wanted to lie down a bit before going to dinner as she had a migraine coming on. Once they left the room, JJ pulled Reid out from under her bed and hugged him, apologizing over and over.
"So, who's the father?" Reid asked sitting down on her bed.
"You remember Detective LaMontagne?" JJ questioned sitting down next to him.
"Will?" Reid asked shocked. JJ nodded her head in response and lay her head down on Reid's shoulder. "I just… my personal life is the one thing that I have you guys don't know about, which is why I didn't tell you."
"Wow…" was all Reid could say in response to the news.
"Oh, and please don't tell Em… she doesn't know and I…" she was silenced by Reid holding up his hand. "I won't, I promise."
She hugged him, "Ok, you should go now, before Kelly and anyone else gets back."
"If you need anything," Reid said walking over and opening the door. JJ nodded in understanding, watching him leave. She lay down on the bed and closed her eyes, unable to sleep. Her mind kept wandering over the events of the day and before long, she really did have a migraine coming on. She got up and had a glass of water, noticing the time and getting changed for dinner, before heading out to meet the others.
On her way down the corridor she ran into Taylor and realized that Taylor could tell someone like Stacy who would believe her and then look into her, so she decided to tell her the truth. She grabbed Taylor's wrist and dragged her into her room.
"You were right, I'm not what I seem, I'm an undercover FBI agent assigned to protect you and your fellow cheerleaders."
