Wow! I'm gobsmacked at the response for this story! I wasn't expecting this many people to enjoy it! The Rossi/Emily scene just came out of nowhere. I had this chapter ready to post and then I just started writing. I like to think of him as a father figure who likes to keep an eye on everyone.

This chapter is a bit longer, but I might not have another one up tomorrow

Chapter 6

Someone to Watch Over Me

Emily stopped just before the campsite came into view through the trees.

"Ooh, you've got lipstick on your cheek. We probably don't want to give the game away that fast."

"I can almost hear Garcia's reaction right now." Emily chuckled.

"Dammit, Aaron. What did I tell you about scarlet not being your color?" She joked as she wiped it off for him. He chuckled back and flashed her his dimples.

"So how are we going to play this?" He smirked.

"Subtle, and see what happens?" She asked before giving him one last quick hug.

"Sure, why not?" He said just as they walked through the tree line, and Emily could feel countless eyes on her.

"For FBI Agents they're not very subtle, are they?" Aaron remarked quietly, and the pair snickered as they dropped the firewood on top of the old pile.

"Hey dad!" Jack bounded over, giving his father as big of a bear hug as you could being his size.

"Hey buddy, what's up?" Him and Emily both leaned forwards as Jack motioned them close.

"I heard them talking." He whispered. Aaron and Emily exchanged a look.

"What about?" Emily asked the boy suspiciously. Jack quickly looked round as if to check whether anyone was listening, making both adults smile.

"You two." He whispered almost inaudibly.

"How did you hear them?" Aaron asked after exchanging yet another look with Emily.

"I was hiding." Jack answered simply.

"And they didn't see you?" Emily asked, and he shook his head, "Whoa, he's good." Emily chuckled, looking at Aaron, who chuckled with her.

"But they said they had to get you two together." Jack frowned, "But you two were already with each other." Aaron smiled softly at his son.

"Don't worry about it, buddy."

"Hey kiddo." Rossi greeted her as she sat down beside him whilst he was cooking dinner. He'd been non-verbally nominated as chef by the rest of the group, and since he wasn't sure whether he would be able to survive any of their cooking, he agreed.

"Hey Rossi." He smiled briefly at her before turning his attention back to the food.

"Just so you know, I'm not going to tell anyone." Emily frowned.

"About what?" He gave her a pointed look.

"You know what I'm talking about. And for the record, I think it's nice. I haven't seen him, or you, this happy in a long time." Emily smiled at the man who was like a father to her. She hadn't forgotten the time where he'd spoken to her about her abortion. He hadn't judged her for it, instead just listened and she hadn't forgotten that.

"Thanks."

"Oh, and I'd be careful if I were you," Rossi warned, "The three stooges over there," He gestured to JJ, Garcia and Morgan, "Have been discussing how to set the two of you up." He smirked at her, and Emily laughed.

"Oh yeah, we realized." She looked at him questionably, "So how long have you known?"

"Guessed? About two months, but I only knew for sure a couple of weeks ago." He carried on when she didn't say anything, "That's only because Aaron used to stay at the office hours after I left, but lately he's been leaving as soon as the place has cleared out for the night. I guess that's your doing?" he smirked at her again, and patted her knee.

"Maybe." She shrugged playfully.

"Tag!" Henry shouted to Jack, after tapping him on the shoulder. Their game had been going on for a while now, but it wasn't much fun with just two players.

"Hey, can I play?" Morgan asked the pair, when he noticed their glum faces and not-so-enthusiastic chasing.

"Yeah…" Jack agreed, before quickly rushing forwards and tapping the man on his chest, "But you're it!" Rossi chuckled at the look on Morgan's face.

"Hey! I wasn't ready yet!" He yelled to the kids, but they'd already run off, giggling the entire way.

"Sorry kid," Morgan said, jogging over to Spencer, "You're it." Morgan quickly rushed forwards in the same direction as the boys.

"I'm not even playing!" Reid yelled, giving up when Morgan didn't reply and instead sprinted across the clearing and tagged Emily. After seeing her blonde friend sitting down beside Will, Emily sprinted forwards, neatly tapping JJ on the head before dashing off before the woman could retaliate.

The blonde looked at Will in amusement for a moment, then pecking him on the cheek, mumbling tag in his ear playfully and rushing off to join the rest of the team. Shaking his head at JJ's antics, Will scooped up Henry, tickling his stomach.

"Tag!" He said to his son, and then jogged away. Henry stood still for a moment, wiping his hair out of his eyes. After spotting his target, he sneaked up behind them and yelled, "Tag you're it, Uncle Spence!" Reid knew he had no chance at catching Morgan, and so settled for Emily who was only meters away, tagging her on the shoulder.

The woman grinned, knowing exactly how to play into Garcia's, JJ's and Morgan's hands. She quickly darted through the logs and tents, tagging an unsuspecting Aaron from behind, running away a couple of steps, stopping just long enough to say, "Tag… Sir." Accompanied with a sly grin that Garcia was sure not to miss, before dashing quickly away again.

Aaron tried to suppress his smirk, and considered his target. They were standing close to each other, at the far end of the clearing. Deciding that he should just go for it, he sprinted across the dusty ground, only just missing Emily's shirt by inches before she'd gotten to a safe distance.

After quickly re-thinking his plan, he sprinted over to Jack and scooped him up, before planting him down on the floor beside Henry, who was too curious to consider running away again. Aaron whispered in both of their ears quickly, and the group, who had now been joined by Garcia who was sticking close to Morgan's side, was looking confused at the other side of the clearing. All three nodded their heads quickly and began dashing across the clearing in a pack. Emily's eyes widened when she realized the group were making a beeline straight for her.

Emily ran along behind the line of adults, using them as a human shield, before quickly making a break for it and racing across the clearing, straight across the middle. It wasn't until she looked up that she realized Aaron had raced away from her as soon as she'd looked away, so now the trio were surrounded her, coming ever closer.

"Oh no fair, you guys!" She complained loudly, hearing the others laughing. Aaron came closer with the two boys, but not as far forwards as them. Emily eyed him carefully, not quite sure what he was up to, when Henry and Jack ambushed her. Obviously since Jack knew her better he had no qualms about jumping her on the spot.

Which he did.

Followed by Henry.

It only took Emily a few seconds to realize that the boys had turned their tag war into a tickle fight…

Aaron tried and failed to suppress a snort at the very UN Emily-like squeal that erupted from the woman. Obviously he knew that she'd react like that… but the team didn't. At least, that was quite obvious to him from all of the laughter that exploded from the team, and the fact that no one was rushing to the poor woman's rescue.

Yeah, he should really help her.

Eventually.

"Okay, okay! I give!" Emily yelled over the two boys' giggles. They finally stopped, collapsing on the floor beside her, their laughter contagious as she started laughing too.

"Aaron, I'm so getting you back for that!" Emily warned, but knew it was okay to do so, since only Jack and Henry heard as well. She could see the dimples on the man's face as he laughed at her suspense.

"I'd like to see you try." He whispered in her ear as he held out his hand and pulled her up. She scowled at him playfully, before trying to wipe off as much of the dust from her clothes as possible.

"Oh, you so owe me dinner after this." She rolled her eyes.

"Well, I would help you, but…" He nodded behind her, "Prying eyes." Emily turned around to see Garcia, JJ, Morgan and even Rossi staring over at them. By then Henry had scampered off to his parents, but Jack stood between them.

"If I get another inquisition from JJ, I'm throwing you to the wolves." Emily carried on when she saw Aaron frown, "Garcia and Morgan." She smiled smugly before she walked off, leaving Aaron standing on his own since Jack followed Emily.

"Hey, come on! Let's not be hasty." Emily turned around and smirked at him before going to sit down away from the team, with Jack sitting beside her.

I thought that in addition to the hide and go seek chapter, this game of tag was needed for the team to wind down and show their not-so-mature sides for once. This is their chance to let loose for once, so I gave them the opportunity. AND I thought that Jack and Henry jumping Emily and erupting into a tickle fight would be hilarious. For us and the team.

Finding lots of cute little things like this and the camping for the team to do are quite hard, so if you have any ideas I'd be happy to hear them. PLUS the inspiration will get me writing faster!;)
