"There you go" Emily said softly as Jessie latched onto her bottle and the team munched on their pancakes. She couldn't hide the smile on her face when she heard the familiar little noises Jessie began making as she drank down the warm liquid, her sleepy eyes struggling to stay open. Reid looked across the table at them and shared the same smile. He quickly picked up Emily's fork, cut a piece of pancake off for her and fed it to her oblivious to the team smiling at them. "These are so good" Emily said as she chewed on the pancake and placed the bottle on the table, Jessie sleeping in her arms.

"Can't beat 'em" Morgan agreed as he took a big bite of his.

"I bet Rossi thinks he could make better" Garcia said with a little laugh.

"No way" Rossi said and shook his head. "I know when someone is a better chef than me and whoever made these pancakes is definitely better"

"Don't say that to loud, they might put the price up" Morgan warned in a loud whisper which earned him a round of laughed. The laughter was paused when Reid's face changed and he looked to the door. The rest of the team followed Reid's line of vision and saw Hotch following Jack to the counter, when he caught eyes on the team he looked just as shocked as Reid was.

Jack quickly ran from his father's side to the group's table and his smile grew even more when he saw the little girl. "Is that your baby?" Jack asked as he looked up to Emily, he hadn't been told in detail about her death and wasn't too surprised to see her alive.

"Yeah…" Emily said as she glanced at Reid then back to Jack. "Her name's Jessie" She said quietly to Jack with a smile on her face as she watched his excitement.

"Hi Jessie" Jack whispered softly, and then quickly looked up as his dad placed a hand on his shoulder.

"We didn't mean to interrupt" Hotch said apologetically, he felt out of place after all that had happened with Reid. "I was just taking Jack for some Friday pancakes" He explained.

"It's no problem… Why don't you eat with us?" Reid said with a sheepish smile as the group moved down the table to make room.

"Are you sure?" Hotch asked as Emily stood for Jack to sit down next to Rossi.

"Yeah" Reid said with a bigger, slightly more confident smile as Hotch slowly sat down next to Jack and Emily slide into the seat next to him.

"Syrup!" Jack called excitedly as he held the bottle high in the air and watched the sticky liquid drip onto the pancakes before shovelling one into his mouth. The group smiled at him for a moment before returning to eating their pancakes.

"So how did you guys all manage to get a day off?" Emily asked as she softly stroked Jessie's cheek.

"We only had paperwork to do so we're all going in tomorrow to finish it up before Monday" Morgan explained and took another bite of pancake.

"How's it going with jobs and everything?" Hotch asked with a hint of guilt in his voice.

"Alright… I haven't found anything but it's only a matter of time" Reid said cheerfully and gave a warm smile to him. There was a long pause as people picked at their pancakes, they were all still quite happy but coming back here had only emphasised how much had changed in the last year.

"We're all finished, right?" Rossi said as he looked down the table to see everyone either pushing their empty plates away or taking their last bite of pancake. The group looked around like Rossi had done and slowly nodded, Hotch and Emily slowly getting up to let everyone out. "I've got something in the car for Jessie" He added with a little smile as Reid and Emily looked confusedly at him. Emily gently passed Jessie to Reid as her arms ached from holding her for so long.

Hotch, Jack and Rossi were first out the door followed closely by Morgan, Garcia and JJ with Emily and Reid, carrying Jessie, at the back. The group went to the car where Rossi pulled something out of the car boot. "It's just something small to say welcome back and congratulations" Rossi explained as he passed a large, elaborate photo frame to Emily.

"Dave, this is beautiful" Emily said as she ran a finger over the soft wood and admired the detailed painted flowers trailing along the sides of the frame.

"How many photos can you put in it?" Morgan asked as he looked at all the glass slides for putting pictures in.

"Twelve" Rossi answered for them. "You take a picture every month and then you've got Jessie's first year all in one place" He explained.

"Jessie's one month old today, right?" JJ asked as Reid bounced her gently in his arms. "Why don't you take the picture here?" She suggested.

"Yeah, have all the family together" Emily said with a big smile as she opened the car door and gently placed the photo frame on a seat. Rossi went round the car and grabbed a camera from the glove box while Morgan grabbed a man off of the street to take the picture.

"Don't smile too much, you might break the camera" Garcia whispered to Morgan which made the whole team laugh.

"Alright guys, big smiles" Rossi said as they gathered closer together and Jack bounced excitedly.

And just like that the shutter snapped and the little bit of happiness they were sharing was captured on camera. Everyone was smiling widely; although it was undeniable Jack's was the biggest toothy grin there. After that Morgan, Rossi and JJ hoped into one SUV, Hotch drove Jack back home in the car they had came there in leaving the final SUV for Garcia, Reid, Emily and Jessie.

Once back at home Reid and Emily fell back into their routine. Rossi called a little later to tell them he'd give Emily the picture on Monday; the first day she'd spend back at work.

I'm gonna be looking after my cousin for a couple of weeks so i'm writing as much as i can at the moment but there should still be a chapter for Sunday. I'm also snowballing some ideas for different stories and ships so if you've got any requests me sure to message me with them, some of you already have and i'm really grateful that you're interested in what i'm writing. Please review even if it's one or two words to say whether you liked (or disliked) the chapter and maybe give a reason why so i can improve it for you next time. hope you liked the chapter and that you all have a great weekend :)
