WOW 63 reviews?! Thanks for all the feedback! You have no idea how much the reviews mean to me and encourage me to keep writing! I've been terrible at responding to them, but I'm going to try to do better at it from now on.

Most people wanted the team to find out as soon as possible, and this chapter is setting the scenario up. So luckily for you guys it'll happen in the next chapter;)

Someone to Watch Over Me

Chapter 8

"Look at my lightsaber Em'ly!" Jack yelled happily as he swung around a piece of firewood. Emily laughed. It was no secret between the trio that Jack and Emily were both diehard Star Wars fans - Much to Aaron's dismay that is, since he was forced to watch at least one of the films a week, usually more if Emily stayed over and encouraged his son.

It was because of that, that Emily stood, picking up her own stick from the pile of firewood and bowed to her opponent saying, "On guard, Stinky." As if they were actually having a fencing tournament.

"On guard, Emillipede." Jack returned, giggling and pointing his 'sword' out ahead of him. It was with great amusement that Aaron watched this interaction. The campsite was fairly quiet, with Will, JJ and Henry at the lakeside, and Morgan and Garcia had badgered Reid into going for a walk. This meant that Emily and Aaron could act however they wanted around each other, with Rossi and Jack being the only other two there.

Aaron chuckled when Jack swung the piece of firewood and it flew threw the air, landing directly on the campfire.

"Did you see that Dad?" Jack asked excitedly, and Aaron smiled when Emily gave him a high five.

"Good shot Stink!" She lifted him up, settling him on her hip and they sat down beside Aaron. Rossi glanced at the group as he sipped at his coffee. They seemed… happy. The happiest he'd seen either of them in a long time. Ever since Emily had returned from Paris there had been something different about her. It wasn't anything major… just different, but now they had the old Emily back and he had Aaron and Jack to thank for that.

"You know that you're going to have to tell them soon, don't you?" Aaron and Emily looked up at Rossi's voice.

"Yeah, we know." Emily smiled, "But I think Jack threw them off the trail for a while." She laughed, and Rossi looked on in confusion as Aaron joined her. Once they'd recounted the tale to him, he'd joined in the laughing.

"Oh, so that's who she is!" Rossi exclaimed, "I thought I heard Garcia muttering about some 'Natalie'." Once their laughter had died down, Aaron and Emily looked each other in the eye longingly. Emily's eyes darted to the forest, knowing that the group could be back soon and she wanted as much time with Aaron as she could get. When Rossi noticed her pause he spoke up.

"Oh, don't stop at my expense. It won't be anything I haven't seen before, don't worry." Although Aaron wasn't usually to show his affection in front of others he knew that he wouldn't have many other chances with the team around. Deciding that he didn't care whether Rossi was there or not he locked eyes with Emily, and they both simultaneously leaned in, pressing soft kisses at first, then deepening it as it became more passionate.

"Ew!" They pulled away suddenly when Jack made his feelings known, and Rossi smirked at the trio.

"Aw, don't you like that Stinky?" Emily asked teasingly, then began peppering his cheek with small kisses and tickling his sides, causing him to giggle and squirm in her lap.

"Em, don't torture the kid, especially since you don't like being tickled either." Aaron smirked when he began tickling her sides, and Jack joined in. Rossi cleared his throat over the noise of Emily's shrieks,

"Uh, guys. Looks like we're about to be joined." Emily heard Garcia's loud voice through the trees and quickly tried to scrub the lipstick off of the corner of Aaron's mouth while he quickly ran his fingers through her mussed up hair. Rossi smirked when he saw the couple quickly slide away from each other on the log they were sitting on just before Reid, Morgan and Garcia walked through the trees.

"Babygirl, don't you think you're overreacting just a little?" They heard Morgan ask as they neared the campfire.

"Do not tell a girl she is overreacting Derek Morgan!" Emily winced when she heard Garcia pull out the name card. That never happened unless the man was in big trouble, "I've never been away from my babies this long!" Emily just rolled her eyes good-naturedly, used to Garcia's overzealous personality and her attachment to her computers.

"Is anyone up for a swim in the lake?" Emily asked the group sitting around the fire having finished their lunch a half hour ago.

"I am, it's too hot!" Garcia fanned her face in usual Garcia fashion.

"Well then I'm definitely up for it." Morgan said, looking at the blonde.

"Dad I want to!" Jack insisted to his father, who was glad for the excuse to go swimming in the lake with Emily.

"Sure buddy, lets go get your trunks on." He stood up, pulling the boy with him. JJ and Will followed suit with Henry, who wanted to swim with his friend. When Emily got changed in her tent she pulled on a pair of shorts and a tank top on to cover her bikini, not wanting to walk around in front of everyone in the red two-piece.

When she got down to the lake Morgan and Garcia were the only ones there yet, since they didn't have little ones to help.

"How's the temperature of the water?" Emily asked her friends as she set her towel down on a rock so it would warm in the sun.

"Pretty warm, warmer than yesterday." Morgan shrugged as he pulled his shirt off. Emily suddenly felt extremely self-conscious as she piled her hair on top of her head in a messy bun. Without her straighteners to hand, it had gone back to its natural state, and loose tendrils were left to fall around her face. Deciding she should just take the plunge – literally and figuratively – she pulled her shirt off and whipped off her shorts, and tried to get into the water as quickly as possible. It's not that she felt uncomfortable with her body, but she just felt weird showing that much skin to the people she worked with.

"Hey little red." Morgan joked, using Garcia's old nickname, as she walked past in her red bikini.

"Not a word, Morgan." Emily warned, and the man mocked offence.

"What, me? I would never say something like that." Emily scowled playfully.

"Yeah, right." Morgan and Garcia followed her into the water just as JJ and Will with Henry, and Hotch with Jack came into view.

"Jack, stay with an adult alright?" She heard Aaron warn, knowing that Jack could be one place one second, then the next somewhere else completely. Her and Aaron had almost had simultaneous heart attacks when Jack strayed out of sight at the park.

Emily got deep enough in the water so that only her head and shoulders were protruding out of the water.

"Look Em'ly! I learnt to swim!" Jack yelled as he swam towards her and clung to her side.

"Wow, look at you!" Emily exclaimed excitedly as she wrapped her arms around the little boy and held him on her hip. She could see Garcia and Morgan looking at her in the corner of her eye, but she brushed it off for the moment and focused her attention on the boy in her arms.

Let me know what you think!

How do you think the team are going to find out? HINT: it's something to do with the lake.

I just want to see how many people guess correctly.

I have to say thanks to ParseltongueSpeaker because without their encouragement there's no way I would have had this chapter and the next one written out so quickly.

PLEASE R&R!
