CHAPTER 10

Chris brought Carrie to a park and sat her down at a picnic table. Carrie took a deep breath and looked around.

"Peaceful huh?" Chris asked as Carrie nodded.

"Why did you hate Emily?" Carrie asked as Chris looked at her confused.

"What?"

"Dr. Reynolds let it slip that you hated Emily when he was seeing you consecutively." Carrie said as Chris nodded.

"Oh. Well, I blamed her." Chris answered.

"Why?"

"Emily was always around when I was younger, even when I moved it was still where Emily was and so if she wasn't around then maybe I would have had my parents, I thought that they left me off with Emily because she was around and could watch me while they took care of their business. So I blamed her, I told her if she wasn't around then maybe my parents would have spent more time with me." Chris shook her head. "But that wasn't it. I realized that it wasn't just Emily, I could have done more to let them know I wanted them around."

"Your parents should have been there without you asking Chris." Carrie started. "They were supposed to be there for you, it's part of being a parent, to support their child." Carrie couldn't believe what she was saying. She wanted to slap herself. She was realizing why Chris was always around. She grew up with Emily-a profiler-and learned how to profile. "And stop making excuses Chris." Carrie said when Chris went to protest. "They were your parents, you do right by you, not anyone else." Carrie said as Chris sighed.

"I thought I was the observant one?" Chris asked.

Carrie scoffed playfully. "Yeah right."

"We spend a bit too much time talking about me." Chris said. "Let's talk about you." Chris said.

"Like what?"

"How are you really feeling and I won't take the 'fine' crap." Chris said as Carrie frowned. Chris just sat and stared. Carrie opened and closed her mouth trying to find the words. Chris smiled her trademark half smile that could get the most scared child to trust her. "We can talk when you find the words. But we should get back." Chris said as Carrie nodded and followed her back to the car.

Carrie would look at Chris occasionally on the drive back and smiled turning to watch the passing scenery. She understood Chris a bit better now. Her parents were never there so she would be there for others when they needed. Even if they thought they didn't need anyone but did.

"I knew it! Chris owes me fifty bucks!" Garcia cried clapping as JJ and Emily gave her a look. She had been watching through the small window in the door. "Oh, sorry, I'll um; I'll be where this room is not. I just wanted to let you know Chris and Carrie went for a drive." Garcia said closing the door and walking off.

JJ and Emily looked at each other.

"I…" They both started.

"You go first." Emily and JJ said.

"Can we just…" Emily and JJ got that neither wanted to talk about it.

They brought their lips together once more. This time it wasn't brief. It was hungry and filled with pent up emotions that had grown over the course of a bit over a year. JJ cupped Emily's face pulling her closer to her as Emily's right hand went up to the back of her neck.

The kiss deepened and JJ soon found herself on the bed between Emily's legs, their lips still connected.

"Ahem!"

They pulled away quickly but in the process JJ grazed her hand across Emily's ribs making her hiss in pain.

"Oh crap! I am so sorry." JJ said as she began to check her for any other injuries. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine." Emily looked towards the door. "When did you get back sweetie?" Emily asked as Chris chuckled.

"A few minutes ago and I lost fifty buck to Aunt Pen so I had to make sure she wasn't lying to me." Chris said stepping into the room and shutting the door behind her.

"Sorry but serves you right for gambling people's personal affairs." Emily glared.

"So you say." Chris smirked. "Morgan and Reid lost money to Hotch." Chris laughed seeing the horrified faces on their faces. "Yes, they all knew, except Rossi which is to be expected he shrugged it off however."

"And Carrie?" JJ asked. Emily smiled. JJ was always thinking of others.

"She's fine with it; we were actually hoping you two would get together the morning after I moved you into your bed the night we got back." Chris said remembering those short two days ago.

"I don't know which one's worse." Emily exclaimed. "My kids scheming against me or the fact they put money on it." Emily sighed.

"I say you forget about it because you got the girl." Chris suggested nodding her head with a smile.

"I'll think about it."

"Well, I shall let you two talk." Chris said walking out of the room.

"So…" Emily began.

"I'm not gonna lie to you Emily." JJ started. "When I saw you that day in Hotch's office I was praying to whatever god above that you would be on the team." JJ blushed.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I had so many thoughts running through my head when I saw you and I just knew you were different." JJ finished.

"That same day I was thanking whatever power there was when I saw you pop in for jut that second. I'm not gonna lie either JJ and I hope I'm not being forward or too fast but I knew after the first month I was here that I was falling in love with you and now I know I love you and I'm in love with you." Emily said as JJ stared in shock. Her body was frozen and her mouth was agape.

"How are they?" Hotch asked.

"Talking." Chris answered taking a seat next to Carrie who laid her head on her shoulder.

"How did you guys get here so fast?" Reid asked calculating how long it would have taken in his head.

"Chris here is the heir to Sloan Industries and had a family friend fly the plane off their family airport." Garcia said happily. "And she has a license to fly helicopters." They looked at Chris.

"I did and it was actually taken away when my parents died because it said I was twenty." Chris said sheepishly.

JJ walked over and looked at Chris and Carrie then Garcia and her team.

"Oh no." Morgan started.

Garcia continued. "No! No, no, no, no!"

"You didn't!" Chris gasped.

"What?" the others asked.

JJ looked at them all with blank eyes.

Another evil cliffhanger.
