Emily looked extremely nervous standing at the doors to the school. It had been years since she even came close to the school, she avoided the road it was on just so she wouldn't have to see the building again.
"Come on Emily, it's not that bad."
"Oh but it is." Emily said looking at JJ then at Mary who stood between them.
"Emily, please, you promised."
"Fine, but I get to pout about it." They all walked into the school and JJ pulled them into the office to sign them in.
"Jennifer how good to see you again." The women behind a desk smiled warmly at JJ.
"Mrs. Weatherbee, it's so nice to see you too." JJ smiled. "Here again for buddy day."
"I see you brought someone new this year too Mary." The older woman looked up at Emily. "Emily Prentiss," Emily gave a weak smile.
"Mrs. Weatherbee…"
"Going to be able to behave for the 8 hours that you'll be here?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Good to hear, you remember the rules I assume."
"Yes ma'am, oh and I'm suppose to…" Emily dug through her pockets and grabbed her badge and then un-holstered her gun. "I'm suppose to carry it at all times during training." Emily said softly, as Mrs. Weatherbee looked over the badge.
"Alright, don't worry about it, just make sure you don't un-holstered the gun, and try to keep it under wraps I'll let the teachers know about it."
"Thank you."
"Now hurry along before Mary is late for class." Emily was tempted to pick up Mary and run from the office but JJ grabbed her hand and made her walk.
"JJ, why do you have to be so mean and force me to come?" Emily whined.
"I'm sorry, baby, I really am." JJ tried not to chuckle.
"Come on I can't be late."
"We're coming, go along by yourself." JJ pushed Mary ahead of them. They followed Mary into a class room.
"Mary good morning, would you like to introduce your friends?"
"Yes!" Mary turned to JJ and Emily. "This is JJ, my older sister, and this." Mary pointed to Emily, "is Emily her girlfriend." Emily looked at JJ and then at the ceiling, she knew where this would head.
"Welcome Emily and JJ." The teacher welcomed them quickly and asked them to sit for story time, Emily and JJ quickly found spots and didn't talk, they could hear some of the other people talking, whispering. After an hour or so it was time to switch rooms, to a new activity.
"Alright just follow one another to the next room." The teacher said letting the kids leave, she stopped Emily and JJ. "I have Mary in my class, she raves about you two all the time. I'm sure that my mother had you Emily, way back when."
"Hey, I'm not that old!"
"Shh I'm older." The woman smiled. "Don't worry about the others they're just jealous that you two are happy. Believe me most of them are still trying to figure out how they ended up here, with two or three other kids too."
"That's good, we're just here because someone wanted to see me tortured." Emily said glaring at JJ. JJ smiled and wrapped her arms around Emily.
"Yes I honestly did, but now come to think of it, I'm also giving you a chance to break more rules in your old school."
"On that note, where's the nearest bathroom…" Emily looked at the teacher.
"You went here find it." JJ said kissing Emily and walking backwards out of the room, never taking her eyes off Emily.
"I'll… be back later." Emily said running after JJ.
"Don't get caught!" the woman yelled after Emily and JJ but figured they didn't hear or care.
Emily pinned JJ up against the wall when she caught up with her, raising her arms above her head she kissed her.
"That was very low Jennifer." Emily smirked her forehead resting against JJ's.
"Was it? Hmm never knew." JJ kissed Emily. "Thank you for telling me." JJ whispered.
"Emily! JJ! You're going to get me in trouble!" Mary yelled at them as she came down the hall seeing the two women kissing.
"Sorry Mary." JJ said slipping her hand back into Emily's and they walked after Mary.
"Just wait till later." Emily said, pleased with the shiver she got from JJ.
"I hate you."
"I love you too."
"Shut up." Mary said earning a whack to the back of the head.
"Watch your mouth." Emily said making JJ laugh, Emily use to do that to her and Erica because Emily would get blamed for them swearing.
"Be good please, I have to grow up with all these kids." Mary said, she heard Emily tell JJ how much easier it was in college because you weren't judged for family, or your past mistakes anymore, she didn't want something to start people in on not liking her.
"We shall try Mary."
"Thank you, Emily. JJ?"
"I'll see what I can do."
"Thanks." Mary ran into the room and sat down next to a little red headed girl.
"Why does she remind me of you?"
"Because we are just so damn cute." JJ said.
"Maybe."
"Emily?"
"Morgan?" Emily looked at the muscular male standing in front of her shocked. "What are you doing here?"
"Well… my cousin… and…I… and…" Morgan stuttered.
"Morgan, don't go for the press liaison spot." Emily laughed. "Oh, JJ, Agent Derek Morgan. Derek Morgan, my girlfriend Jennifer Jareau."
"Pleased to meet you." Morgan said smiling.
"Which one's yours?" JJ asked.
"The little red head."
"You have to be kidding." Emily said.
"My mother is Irish."
"Oh!"
"Haha Prentiss very funny." Morgan rolled his eyes. "You?"
"The little blonde next to her."
"Oh I know Mary, she's a good kid."
"Yeah, thanks."
"I got dragged here because Molly likes the fact I'm a big bad FBI agent."
"Older sister, best friend and super hero." JJ said, referring to herself and Emily.
"Super hero?"
"Yes." Morgan chuckled softly.
"Alright who wants their buddy to tell us what they do?" JJ, Emily and Morgan immediately focused back on the group of kids praying their kid's hands didn't raise. Mary's hand however didn't just raise, alone that is. Mary was jumping up and down saying 'me oh me!' over and over. JJ and Emily groaned.
"Alright Mary why don't your buddies come over here?" The teacher looked up at Emily and JJ, together they stepped up and into the circle of kids.
"Well, I'm JJ, Mary's older sister, and I'm just a student like you guys. Well, I'm in college. Yeah that's about it. This is Emily!" JJ gave Emily a nudge.
"I'm Emily, like JJ just said. I'm a FBI agent in training…" All the little kids started talking all at once, asking if she had a gun, or if she ever killed someone, and other little things.
"Kids, calm down let Emily talk." The teacher warned. "Go on Emily." She said when they all calmed a bit.
"I do carry a gun, but I'm not allowed to show you. I can let you see my badge though." She handed her badge to Molly. "I've only been in the field a few times, Derek was there with me." Emily pointed to Morgan. "My first case was little kids, a bit younger than you all, it ended…" Emily felt JJ's hand on her back a sign letting her know that it was still kids she was talking to. "Everyone was ok."
"How long have you been an FBI agent?" a little boy asked.
"I started at the start of your school year." Emily smiled at him.
"Have you ever shot your gun?"
"A lot, I had to train with it first and they make you run through like a million different training situations."
"What about in public?"
"A few times, to stop the bad guy."
"Like Captain America?" The same little boy asked excitedly.
"Just like Captain America." Emily grinned and ruffled his hair.
"That's so cool." He grinned and Emily laughed.
"Do you work with other girls?" Molly asked.
"Yes, one of my best friends is training right along with me, Elle Greenaway, and we've been in the field many a times together. We also have a good mixture of men and women. What do you think Derek about 50/50?"
"I honestly think you women are starting to out rank us." Morgan smiled.
"Really?"
"Yup, sure is Molly." Derek joined JJ and Emily, he picked Molly up. "I'm Derek Morgan, also a FBI agent in training." He smiled. "And this is my little cousin Molly."
"Have you ever shot someone?"
"Shot no, taken down yes." Morgan said. "I don't like to shoot people, I don't want to take someone's life."
"But their bad." A little girl asked.
"Yes but that doesn't mean they don't have families, kids, brothers and sisters, friends, pets, loved ones just like you all." Everyone said oh. Making Emily, JJ, and Morgan laugh.
"Alright how about another person?" The teacher asked, Morgan set Molly down then helped JJ and Emily out of the circle of kids.
"That was weird." Emily said.
"Oh under statement of the year." Morgan said.
"I kind of liked it…" JJ said.
"That's because you rock the whole standing in front of everyone thing." Emily laughed.
"Hmmm maybe." JJ thought.
"You know, you would be a great press liaison… the FBI loves a good press person, and you're very pretty."
"Don't hit on my girl, Morgan I know how you work." Emily warned.
"Not trying to Emily."
"I'm flattered though, thank you Derek." JJ smiled and Emily wrapped an arm around JJ.
"Oh jealous." Morgan laughed.
"When do we get to go to the next room?" Emily groaned..
"A few minutes, after the plumber tells the kids how to use a plunger." Derek smiled. "Hopefully he doesn't say they can bring tiles up."
"They can?" Emily asked intrigued.
"Go to a hardware store, and give it a try, or the dorms during a party. Just be careful." Morgan laughed.
"I'm so going to have to keep a better eye on you know aren't I?" JJ asked Emily.
"Hell yes."
"Hey, I'm taking Molly out to lunch after this, would you guys care to join?" Morgan asked.
"Um…"
"Seeing as we are going to have to work together sooner or later." Morgan kept going.
"Yeah, come on Em it'll be fun!" JJ said holding onto Emily's arm smiling.
"Alright fine."
"Call Elle, I'm sure she'll want to see me." Morgan wagged his eyebrows making Emily laugh.
"Fine but once its out that means everyone's coming." Emily said sending a text to Elle.
"Everyone?"
"The family." JJ said, "Don't worry you'll love them."
