Hotch sat down with the files of the many agents in front of him, he only had two openings currently and they needed filling fast. He knew who he would most likely pick but couldn't just pick them without glancing at the others.

Emily and JJ walked into the BAU silently, it would be there last day today, they had done their rotation and now they would be official agents, with the FBI not the BAU. JJ looked up at Emily and grabbed her hand, lacing their fingers.
"We'll be ok." She whispered, Emily nodded.
"I know."
"Emily, JJ could you please come up to my office?" Hotch said as soon as they walked in.
"Yes sir." Both said walking up to the older man's office. He shut the door as soon as they walked in.
"Sit down please." He sat and looked the two women over. "After much debate with Agent Rossi, we've agreed that you are both great agents and there is no doubt in our minds that you will be a perfect match for the FBI."
"Thank you sir." They both said smiling, Hotch noticed the smiles did not reach either of their eyes.
"Also, you'd be perfect matches for the BAU unit, congratulations I've already pushed the papers you are officially SSA Prentiss of the BAU unit, and SSA Jareau of the BAU unit, though I hope you don't mind us calling you JJ still." He smiled and both women grinned.
"No sir, not at all." JJ said excitedly and Hotch laughed.
"You two look my like nieces on Christmas."
"Oh we feel like them too sir." Emily said and Hotch nodded.
"Now go home you officially start tomorrow." They both got up to leave. "And girls, celebrate." He laughed again as they both nodded and said yes sir.
