Here is the last chapter. Hope you all like it. And sorry everyone, no chance it was a dream. JJ's dead, it would be rather cliché of me to have it been a dream again wouldn't it?
I would like to thank missiemeghan, Mellow girl, ShaileeSue, Irinaj, mabelreid, princess89 (yeah I made sure JJ got to hold her daughter before she died), and JJ-Reid-01 for reviewing.
This chapter is going to be from Reid's POV, kinda like he's wrapping up the story for you. Just so no one gets confused. This chapter is basically the opposite of what I usually write. This chapter is in first person and in the present tense.

Five years have passed since JJ's death. Every day over these past five years I have thought about JJ. Every single hour. Sometimes little JJ will find me crying in my room holding a picture of JJ and I that was taken right before she changed forever. JJ always climbs into my lap and smiles up at me. Always telling me that it's okay. Right now I am sitting in the living room, looking around at all of the people who sat around the living room. Little JJ and Kathryn, Garcia and Kevin's daughter, both sit in the middle of the floor, surrounded by wrapping paper and new presents. Today is JJ's fifth birthday, and also the fifth anniversary of JJ's death.
"Daddy look!" JJ says running over to me, snapping me out of my thoughts. She shows me a shirt with a cartoon cat playing with a ball of yarn, it says 'Kitten' on it. Tears gather in my eyes as I look at it, the gift from Garcia. It makes me think of my dear JJ, though I know she is happier in heaven, she is not suffering anymore.
"It's beautiful, it's from Aunt Penelope isn't it?" I ask smiling at her. God, she looks just like JJ. Her hair was shoulder length and very light in texture, it was also very wavy. She also had her mother's big blue eyes.
"Yep." JJ says smiling at me before going and plopping back down on the floor with the other blonde hair and brown eyed girl.
"Hey Reid, what are you thinking about?" Morgan asks looking at me with concern.
"About JJ." I choke
"Why are you thinking about me Daddy?" JJ ask looking up at me.
"I'm thinking about your mother." I clarify.
"Oh." She says turning back to her presents. I look around at all my friends. Garcia and Emily both have tears in their eyes. Hotch and Morgan look a little sad as well. Rossi is not here, he left the BAU a couple years ago, he died shortly there after from a heart attack.
"Reid." Emily says sadly reaching out and takes my hand.
"I miss her." I choke.
"I know." Morgan says.
"It was my fault you know." I say, everyone looks at me like I have gone insane.
"What makes you say that?" Hotch asks me.
"Because, she said she was too weak, but I told her to keep pushing." I say, I can feel hot tears fall out of my eyes and down my face. JJ sees them and gets up off the floor and walks over to me.
"Daddy?" She asks looking at me with her mother's big blue eyes.
"Yes?" I ask.
"Why are you crying?" She asks.
"I miss your mother." I say pulling her into my lap.
"I miss mommy too." She says to me, playing with my long brown hair.
"You never met her." I argue.
"Yes I did, I was in her, I remember her voice. I remember her apologizing to me because someone was hurting her." She says to me. I look at her as though she has gone insane. "I remember what she looked like, when she was dead."
"Oh Kitten." Garcia gasps.
"Oh baby, I'm so sorry." I say past my tears. I brush her hair gently with my large hand.
"It's okay." She assures me, climbing out of my lap. "Can we have some cake now?" She whines. I can't help but smile. She has me wrapped around her tiny little finger.
"So Reid, are you ever going to get a girlfriend?" Morgan asks me as he follows me to the kitchen. I still live in JJ's old apartment.
"Morgan, I've never loved anyone like I love JJ." I tell him grabbing a knife to cut the cake.
"JJ needs a mom. And the other JJ would want you to move on." Morgan said. He was often mad at Reid for naming his daughter after JJ, because it became so confusing to talk about them.
"JJ has Garcia and Emily." I snap.
"Reid." Morgan says compassionately.
"I can't." I whisper.
"Kid, I am truly sorry that that happened to her. God, I don't know why that happened to you. Life isn't fair." Morgan said sadly.
"Thanks you make me feel so much better." I say sarcastically. Morgan can't help but laugh. I pick up a couple plates with cake on them and carry them out to Kat and JJ. They say their thanks and take the food. I smile as I watch them wolf down their food. At that moment I know that I have never been happier. The only thing that would make this moment better would be if JJ was here next to me. Here smiling and holding my hand watching our daughter. Joking with Penelope and everyone else. Her blue eyes sparkling and her blonde hair flowing down her back.
God I miss her.
