Reid slowly sat up in bed, yawned and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He checked the clock by his bed- 6am. He gently slipped out of bed, careful to not wake Emily who was still sleeping soundly, and walked over to Jessie's crib. "Hey sweetie" He whispered as he bent down and picked her up, cradling her in his arms. "We gotta be really quiet for mommy, ok?" He continued to whisper as he checked on Emily then carried Jessie out to the living room and placed her in the basket.

He tiptoed into the kitchen and turned the coffee machine on then went back to Jessie who was gurgling softly as she saw her daddy coming back. "We're gonna go see your family today!" He whispered excitedly as he picked her up and rubbed her back.

Emily fondly watched him bounce her around in his arms from the door, she'd been watching for a few minutes without him noticing. "She's gonna have you wrapped round her little finger when she's older" She said softly as she approached them.

"I bet" Reid agreed with and passed Jessie to her mom. "I made coffee" He added as he walked out to the kitchen and began pouring it into two coffee cups. "I thought we'd leave early so there's not much interruption to Jessie's schedule"

"She has a schedule?" Emily said with a little laugh as he carried the cups into the living room and placed hers on the table.

"Most baby books suggest you make one when you have your first baby" Reid explained and took a sip from his cup.

"They do?" Emily said as she picked up a baby book off the pile Reid had built up over the last few days Jessie had been in their lives. She gave it a confused look, turned it this way and that then placed it back on the pile.

"You've been using the schedule for a few days now" Reid stated as he grabbed the bag with all of Jessie's stuff in.

"I have?" She asked with an even more confused look. "I just thought we were too lazy to change what was working well" Emily said with a little smile and took a big sip of coffee.

"It says schedules shouldn't be too stressful so I think it's good you didn't notice" Reid said with a nod then disappeared into the bedroom to put some clothes on. When he came back out he was wearing a white shirt with thin grey lines running down it paired with a purple tie with tiny black dots, black slacks and mismatching yellow and green socks.

His eyes fell on Emily who was softly bouncing Jessie around in her arms like he had only ten minutes before. Emily must have dressed the little girl while he was out because now she was wearing a lion costume Garcia had bought a few days before. Reid silently walked up behind her and softly laid a kiss on her cheek.

Emily smiled a little before softly saying "Take the tiger to the car" and passing Jessie over to her dad, making baby faces at her as she did so.

"But she's a lion?" Reid asked, obviously confused as he absentmindedly kissed Jessie's head.

"Fine, take the lion to the car" Emily sighed as she went into the bedroom and quickly changed her clothes.

Reid smiled slightly, grabbed Jessie's bag and carried the little girl down to the car. Emily was down shortly and hopped in the passenger, letting Reid drive.

"You look worried" Reid stated as he glanced across to Emily who was staring out the window, her mind somewhere else.

"Hotch called last night" Emily said quietly. "He said he was going to talk to Strauss today"

"How come you didn't tell me?" Reid asked with a frown on his face as he glanced up at the rear view mirror to see Jessie sleeping in the back, they learnt in the last few days that the motions of a moving car sent her sleep and they'd been driving her round the block at night when she wouldn't sleep.

"I didn't want you to worry" Emily replied.

"But you're worried" Reid commented quietly.

"I don't want you to lose your job… It's all my fault anyway" She sighed and pushed the hair out her face.

"It's going to be fine" Reid stated with an encouraging smile to Emily as he pulled into the car park. "I promise" He waited for Emily to smile back and give him a little admitting nod before he hoped out and went round to get Jessie out.

There were a few confused looks as they walked inside and toward the elevator, some of the people who worked at the bureau still hadn't been told Emily was alive let alone her having a baby with the genius almost everyone had asked for help from at least once.

"What are you guys doing here?" Rossi asked with fake disappoint that was quickly pushed aside with a big smile as his eyes dropped to Jessie. Emily and Reid shared a smile as he walked closer, as quietly as he could, and looked down at the sleepy baby.

"What's going on?" Morgan asked as he and JJ walked closer and had the same reaction as Rossi.

"How long's she been asleep?" JJ half mouthed, half whispered.

"Not long but she slept most of the night too" Emily replied a little louder than JJ, not worried about waking up the little girl. She saw movement behind the group and looked to see Hotch walking out of his office and pausing when he saw them. "Hey JJ, could you look after Jessie for us while we talk to Hotch" Emily suddenly said and gently handed the little girl over without waiting for a reply, it was hard for her to tell but the look on Hotch's face didn't look good.

"Um, sure" JJ said as the group turned to see Emily walking quickly toward Hotch with Reid close behind.

"I guess they get news today" Morgan suggested as Hotch closed his office door behind him once they were inside.

"Must be tough" Rossi added as the smile slipped from their faces.

Jessie wrapped a finger round a strand of JJ's hair that hung loosely round her shoulders and gave it a soft tug which made JJ look down and stroke the baby's soft raven hair. She smiled a little and said hopefully "I'm sure it'll be good news"

I'm so sorry I haven't updated in so long, I completely suck. I've just been so busy lately with school and exams and hospital appointments I just haven't had time to do anything, let alone write a thousand words every night. this weekend I haven't got much on so I'm planning on writing four or five chapters which will be posted slowly through the week so you guys aren't kept waiting too long for another update. The daily updates are going back to every two or three days but hopefully when things calm down a bit I'll be able to update a little more often. I hope you guys aren't too disappointed and you continue to follow, favourite, review and generally just enjoy what I put up for you. It really means the world that you've liked what I've done this far and hope your support continues :)
