CHAPTER 2

JJ was shocked. Was this girl just about to call Emily mom?

She was screwed. She knew it.

Emily was shocked to see her here. The last time they saw each other she was begging to go on a cross country thing with a friend. Over the independent study time she took after finding out she was ahead in credits and finished the work given to her by her teachers.

"Uh, I'll be out in the hall while you guys talk." The girl; Chris said as the girl on the bed tightened her grip.

"Please stay."

"Ok." She said sitting back down. "Emily, this is Carrie, Carrie this is Emily and…"

"JJ." JJ said. "We're from the FBI. Can you tell us what happened?" JJ asked softly.

Carrie retold her story and Chris never let her hand go.

"Thank you Carrie, you've been very helpful." Emily said. "Christian, can I talk to you for a moment?" Emily asked.

"Yeah." Carrie tightened her hold again. "I'll be a bit, JJ is here with you." Chris said walking out into the hall with Emily.

"What are you doing here?" Emily asked.

"I was passing through, me and Damian; we're on our way back to DC when I nearly hit her with my bike." Chris explained. Her blue eyes told Emily she wasn't lying. This girl was five foot four, blue eyes, brunette hair and only a teenager.

"Where is he?" Emily asked.

"The waiting room, I was only allowed back here because Carrie was calmer with me around." Chris said as Emily sighed.

"You're screwed later." Emily said as Chris nodded. They headed back into the room. "Ok, Carrie, we have to get back but Chris will stay here with you ok?" Emily asked as Carrie nodded. "And I'm sending Damian home." Emily told Chris who nodded.

"Get some rest Carrie." JJ said comfortingly as Carrie nodded.

Once in the hall Emily tried to explain. "JJ…"

"Why didn't you tell us? Me?" JJ asked hurt evident in her eyes.

"I wanted to, I really did, but work and everything got in the way and she doesn't adjust well to most things and she moved in when her parents died, I wanted to tell you JJ."

"But you didn't and that's what hurts."

"I wanted to tell you after Garcia found out-"

"Garcia knew about her?" JJ asked as Emily mentally kicked herself.

"She just came over one day." Emily explained.

"I've been over plenty of times, how come I never met her?" JJ asked.

"She's away at school or out with friends or at one of her games or work, JJ I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I'm telling you now and that should be enough." Emily sighed.

"I know and I'm sorry but it just hurt, we tell each other everything."

"So are we ok?"

"Yeah, we're ok." JJ said hugging Emily who quickly returned it.

"Any word on the girl who took her to the hospital?" Hotch asked as JJ and Emily walked in.

"Yeah, Christian Prentiss, she's my god-daughter."

"God-daughter?" Morgan asked.

"Her parents passed away almost a year ago, she's been living with me since." Emily explained. Time to let the rest of the team know.

"How come you didn't tell us?" Morgan asked.

"I told Garcia, well Garcia found out on her own, I took those two sick days and helped settle her in and Garcia just showed up and I told JJ at the hospital." Emily answered.

"We've been over plenty of times." Morgan said.

"Wait, you've been to Emily's?" Reid asked as Hotch, Morgan and JJ nodded.

"You can come check it out later Reid." Emily said as Reid smiled.

"What was your god-daughter doing here?" Hotch asked.

"She and a friend took some independent study time and went on a cross country dirt bike trip." Emily said waving it off with her hand. "I sent her friend home and Chris is with Carrie in the hospital."

"Ok, let's get back to work."

Chris placed the last of the flower deliveries down and looked over at Carrie who was looking at all of them.

"Someone must really like you." Chris said as Carrie shrugged.

"I don't know who would be sending me all these." Carrie said as Chris nodded.

"Not that popular or are all your friends just team mates?" Chris asked.

"The second one."

"I know that feeling, basketball, soccer, volleyball, softball, I somehow managed to balance them with music and theater." Chris sighed taking her seat once again.

"What happened to your family?" Carrie asked.

"What makes you think anything happened to my family?" Chris asked curious.

"I heard Emily say something about when you get home."

"My parents were killed in a car crash, they had business to get to and I was at some party when it happened." Chris said.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be, besides, I shouldn't be bringing down your mood." Chris said.

"My mood's been down." Carrie sighed.

"Get some sleep Carrie, I'm right here and I have three silver and two gold kick boxing medals backing me up." Chris said making Carrie smile slightly.

"You're gonna be here when I wake up right?"

"I always am." Chris said as Carrie laid back and closed her eyes.

Well, Carrie and Chris are bonding and JJ and Emily are ok.

But can everything be ok so quickly?

Review please. :-)
