Hey guys, so this is the last chapter:( Thanks so so so much for all the support it means the world. I'm still wondering whether or not I should do a sequel... Anyway I hope you enjoy, it's been a pleasure writing for you guys:)

It had been a week since dad returned. There had been some tension between everyone, but things were slowly beginning to go back to the way they were. Dad had managed to break his leg from the fall, so was going to be on crutches for six weeks, which was a pain for the both of us. The team started to forgive him, but it didn't mean that Henry and I were willing to let things go. We were still deciding a suitable punishment for dad, so in the meantime Henry and I increased the level of public affection in the apartment. Making dad feel very uncomfortable.

Today was the day we were getting back at Hotch. We managed to trick Anderson in giving Hotch a letter which he believed was from one of the directors of the FBI, when in actual fact Henry and I had written a rather amusing love letter, expressing Anderson's strong feelings for Hotch. Of course Anderson knew it was us, but the look on both Hotch's and Anderson's faces were priceless. The team was currently in a meeting with the board discussing the events of the past week. Henry and I thought that this would be the perfect time to take a trip to Hotch's office.

"It's not to late to back out." Henry mumbled. I had to admit that I was pretty scared of Hotch, but the man needed some payback for what he did.

"Come on, what's the worse that could happen?" I questioned as we entered his office.

"I don't know, the man only has two freaking guns on him." Henry replied frantically.

"Henry, chill."

"If we get caught this is your fault." Henry moaned.

"That's the beauty of this, we won't." I replied. I moved towards Hotch's perfectly kept desk, and took out the super-glue. Super-glueing files was going to far, but his pens, name plaque, chair and other bits wasn't. Deciding to take the first move, I carefully glued his chair to the floor.

"Are you going to help? We don't exactly have all day?" I asked Henry. Henry sighed, bringing out his own tube of glue.

"You're evil Stella Reid." He sighed. I nudged him a little and carried on gluing the chair. It took about five minutes to glue everything down. Once everything was done, Henry and I swiftly made our way out the office. I mustn't have been as clever as I thought, as two of my fingers were glued together.

"Have you got the cups?" I asked Henry. He nodded and brought out two coffee cups from the coffee shop. Our plan was to make it look like we'd been out all the time they were gone. I grabbed a cup and followed Henry to the stairwell. We walked down four flights of stairs and got out at a random floor. Agents gave us a few odd looks but we ignored them. We found the nearest elevator and hopped inside hoping the meeting was over. Luckily for us when the doors opened at the BAU, the team had filled the bullpen.

"Where have you two been?" Morgan asked.

"Coffee shop." I smiled, pointing to the cup with my non-glued together hand.

"Of course." Morgan laughed.

"How'd the meeting go?" Henry asked.

"Incredibly boring, but fine." JJ replied. I was about to ask what they discussed when a loud groan came from Hotch's office. The team looked up confused, and an angry Hotch came onto the catwalk.

"Who thought it was funny to super-glue half my office down." He stated angrily. I wish he had of shouted, because his low tone scared me. The team turned and glared at Henry and I. They knew about the Anderson prank, so we seemed to be the top suspects.

"We were at the coffee shop." I said quickly.

"Really, so if I ordered forensics to search my office for prints, they wouldn't find yours." Hotch asked. I gulped slightly, we were in deep shit.

"HENRY."

"STELLA."

"She made me." Henry confessed.

"Henry!" I shouted.

"I told you it was a bad idea, but no no no. The man has two guns, two freaking guns, but you wouldn't have any of it." He replied.

"You could of backed out whenever you wanted." I argued.

"I couldn't leave you to get killed." He retorted.

"So you thought owning up would help that."

"STOP IT THE PAIR OF YOU." JJ shouted. Henry and I snapped up and looked at the team. Dad and JJ were fuming. Emily looked disappointed but slightly amused. Derek and Rossi looked like they were about to burst out laughing, and Garcia feigned a disappointed look.

"You two went to far this time. The Anderson joke was funny, but you crossed the line. I want Hotch's desk sorted by the end of the day without any excuses and you are to apologize to him. Oh and Stella, you're grounded." Dad said angrily. I get it that we may of gone to far, but not telling me that my father is alive is also crossing the line a bit too.

"Henry that goes for you to, you're also grounded as well." JJ added. Henry gave me a death glare.

"But it's super glue, it doesn't just scrub off." I stated. This was when Derek and Rossi lost it and burst out laughing. Garcia soon followed, and Henry and I were no longer the only ones receiving death looks.

"Well you should of thought of that before you did it." Dad replied. I groaned and turned to the elevator.

"Stella where the hell do you think you're going?" He asked.

"To get stupid acetone, how else am I going to get it off?" I replied.

"And where do you think you're going Henry?" JJ asked.

"To contribute money to buy the acetone, it's not free you know." He replied. I was happy that he was coming with me. The first rule of being grounded was that we weren't allowed to see each other.

"No, first you're apologising to Hotch." JJ stated.

"No, no I'm not." Henry replied firmly. Even I was shocked at this. I was going to apologise to Hotch but just not straight away.

"HEN-"

"No Mum, don't. What we did was wrong, but it's not like we lied about someone dying now is it?" Henry argued, and with that we swiftly entered the elevator before anyone could shoot us.

"That was pretty stupid." I said, after a few moments of silence.

"Says the one who got us into this mess. Like I said, you are evil Stella Reid." Henry replied.

"It's not my fault." I argued.

"How is it now your fault?" Henry asked, now suddenly amused.

"I don't know, maybe dad dropped me when I was a baby or something." I shrugged. This caused Henry and I to burst out laughing.

"So where do we get acetone from?" Henry asked, still laughing a little.

"God knows, but we better take our time. There's still a slight chance that Hotch might shot us." I replied.

THREE DAYS LATER.

"Dad! Daaad! Daaaaad!" I shouted.

"What, Stella?" Dad asked, hobbling into my room.

"I can't find my denim shorts anywhere, where did you put them?" I responded.

"I didn't put them anywhere, in fact they should be in the corner of your bottom drawer." He replied. I opened up my bottom drawer and as if by magic my denim shorts appeared.

"Well they weren't there before." I huffed.

"They were, you just didn't look properly." Dad sighed.

"Well I don't have an eidetic memory like some people. And the only reason I'm going to Morgan's is to see Henry." I moaned. Morgan had planned a 'yay your alive' BBQ for dad, so the whole team were going to be there.

"Stella, I know you only wanted to get back at Hotch, but you did go to far. I know what I did was wrong to but two wrongs don't make a right. Besides, your only grounded till the end of this week. Your lucky Hotch took it so well, you did ruin his desk." Dad replied. After Henry and I had bought numerous bottles of acetone, we spent the rest of the day scrubbing down Hotch's desk. Unfortunately for us, and Hotch, the acetone had taken away the paint on his desk. Henry and I actually thought that he was going to shoot us for a minute, but he surprisingly took it quite well and said that he needed a new desk anyway. But that didn't mean we weren't still grounded.

"I know. But it doesn't mean Henry and I have finished with you." I warned, giving dad an evil smile.

"Just get changed." He said, rolling his eyes as he hobbled out of my room. Seeing as Morgan had a pool, I got changed in my denim shorts, loose pink top, and flip-flops, with my bikini underneath. I tied my hair up in a messy ponytail and packed my bag, ready to leave. I walked out into the living room, waiting for Emily to pick dad and I up.

"Em?"

"Yes Stella."

"There's not going to be a surprise party this time?" I asked curiously, last time I went to Morgan's there was.

"What makes you think that?" Emily replied.

"Dunno, it's something he'd do." I shrugged.

"Well I'm not promising anything." Emily smiled smugly.

"What! Please tell me he's not. You know how much I hate surprises." I groaned. Surprises meant having the attention on you, which was something I hated. My cheeks usually burnt and I ended up saying something stupid.

"Just act surprised." Emily laughed.

"So he is! Great, dad I can't believe you let this happen." I sighed. Dad and Emily started laughing, which annoyed me.

"It's only because I love you Stel." Dad laughed.

"Great." I sighed, I could already feel my cheeks begin to burn.

The next thing I knew, Emily pulled up to Morgan's house. It took all of the will inside of me to get out of the car.

"Hey Dad, remember what happened last time Morgan threw a surprise party." I teased.

"Of course I remember Stella, I have an eidetic memory. Even if I didn't have one, I would still remember chasing you and Henry round Morgan's house half the night." Dad replied, I couldn't help but giggle. We made our way to the front door and waited for Morgan to answer.

"At last. Come through, everyone's outside." Morgan smiled, leading us through his house.

"SURPRISE!" A heard of voices shouted as I walked through the back door. I couldn't help but jump a little. I looked up to see everyone there. Birthday banners and balloons were decorated everywhere, and presents lay out on the table. They were the presents the team had given me before, but I never got a chance to open them.

"But it was my birthday ages ago." I stammered.

"I hardly count that as your birthday." Rossi replied.

"Everything happened that day and you didn't get a proper chance to celebrate it. So I wanted to make it up to you, we all did." Dad said. As much as I hated surprises, I was blown away by how much effort the team put in.

"Thanks so much, everyone." I smiled.

"Anything for my favourite god-daughter." Morgan replied.

"I'm your only god-daughter." I laughed.

"Well lets get this barbeque on, I'm starving." Hotch said, he was so much more relaxed when he was with his family and out of work. Rossi and Hotch tended to the barbeque, whilst the rest of the adults chilled around the pool talking. Edward, Jack, Henry, Lola and I decided that it was our job to tend to the pool. It was a hot day and the cold water was so refreshing.

"Hey Henry." Jack called. Henry turned around only to be greeted by a wave of water in his face. Henry straight away splashed Jack back, and what started out as innocent splashing turned into a full throttle war.

"Jack!"Hotch called.

"Yes dad." Jack replied innocently.

"Stop holding Henry's head underwater." Hotch replied. Jack let go of Henry's head and was greeted by a gasping Henry.

"You've asked for it Hotchner. Just you watch." Henry warned.

"Come at me Blondie." Jack joked back.

"I would but unlike you I have a girlfriend who I'd rather be with." Henry replied smugly.

"Who says I don't have a girlfriend." Dad replied.

"You have a girlfriend?" Lola asked excitedly.

"Maybe, but please don't tell dad." Jack said suddenly embarrassed.

"Why not?" Lola asked.

"Yeah why not?" Henry chimed.

"Just please dont-"

"DAD, JACK HAS A GIRLFRIEND!" Lola shouted. Suddenly the whole party turned to a very red Jack. Henry used this to swim over to me.

"You're a little wet." Henry joked as he came towards me.

"That may have something to do with the fact that you and Jack got everyone near soaked. You'd think that you had a better aim, considering that your so good at the shooting range." I joked.

"Do you want my mum to hear?" Henry laughed.

"Hmm, maybe. Hey J-" I started to shout before I was cut off by someone tackling me underwater.

"Hey!" I moaned, when I came up.

"What's wrong Stel, don't like the w-" Henry didn't get to finish his sentence as I tackled him underwater.

"Well that wasn't very nice." He pouted.

"Call it quits?" I asked, holding out my hand.

"Deal." Henry said shaking it. "Can you come out for a sec, I wanna talk to you?"

"Yeah sure." I said making my way to the steps. I walked over to the loungers and grabbed my towel. But before I wrapped it round me, I walked over to dad and shook my wet hair over him.

"Thanks for that Stel." He said sarcastically.

"Anytime dad." I smiled, wrapping my towel around me and making my way over to Henry.

"Where to?" I asked.

"Breeze hut." Henry responded. Morgan had a haiiwan like wooden hut, where you could sit inside and it would be cool even on the hottest of days. But the nice thing about it was that it was quite concealed from everything else in the garden.

"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked sitting next to him. Henry didn't reply, instead he just kissed me. I placed my arms around his neck and kissed him back.

"What was that for?" I asked, looking up at him.

"I just wanted you to know that I love you." He smiled shyly in return.

"Well I love you to Blondie." I smiled. For a while we just made out pleasantly in the breeze hut. I was so happy to have him in my life.

"Are you two quite done?" Came a voice which made us jump up. Unfortunately for us we ended up bumping heads.

"Jack." Henry groaned, red-faced and rubbing his head.

"Sorry but they said that the barbeques ready. You should be grateful that I volunteered to get you, I knew you two were probably at it. Would you of rather it been your parents." Jack laughed.

"Fair enough." I agreed. Henry and I got up out of the breeze hut and followed Jack over to the table. As we neared the pool, we both silently agreed to push him in.

"Hey Jack." I called, making him turn around.

"What's that?" I asked, pointing in the pool.

"What's what?" He asked nearing it. He came close enough for Henry to push him and he went flying in fully clothed.

"That." We both laughed. Huffing and grunting Jack got out the pool and followed us to the table.

"Jack you're a little wet." Hotch laughed. Jack shot us daggers as we sat down at the table. We all dug in to the endless amount of food and started up friendly conversations.

"So Jack who is this girlfriend of yours then?" Hotch asked after a while.

"She's a girl from my apartment building." Jack replied, his cheeks very red.

"Have you taken her on a date?" Rossi asked.

"A few." Jack said. Everyone was giggling slightly at how embarrassed he was.

"Well if you ever need to use the mansion just ask, Henry was a true gentleman when he borrowed it." Rossi commented. It was now mine and Henry's turn to go red.

"When was this?" JJ asked, suddenly interested.

"That time we went for the weekend." Henry mumbled.

"I knew you were planning something." JJ laughed.

"What did he do?" Will asked Rossi.

"Well, first he cooked her dinner. Then they watched a movie under the stars, which he cried at by the way. Then they decided to do some weird dancing, which I all sent you the video of. Then the next day they went out on the segways and quad bikes." Rossi informed. My cheeks were burning so much that I was tempted to jump in the pool.

"Didn't have you down as a romantic Blondie." Morgan chuckled.

"You are a sweetie." Garcia smiled.

"Why Rossi, why?" Henry groaned, banging his head against the table.

"Wait wasn't that the weekend you came home looking like you'd been slapped?" JJ asked. It was my turn to bang my head against the table.

"That's because he was." Rossi replied.

"Stella you didn't did you?" Dad warned.

"It wasn't my fault, he said slap me." I said defending myself.

"It was a figure of speech though." Henry added. The whole table erupted with laughter.

"You two are so silly." Emily laughed. My cheeks managed to get darker and darker.

"What are you planning on doing now you've finished school, you've got a lot of time to decide." Hotch asked. A gave him a grateful look for changing the subject.

"Uh, we have a slight idea." I replied nervously.

"You do? You never told me." Dad said excitedly.

"Um, we were both quite interested in joining the FBI." Henry answered.

"The BAU to be exact." I finished. I looked up to see that the whole team had smiles on their faces.

"That's brilliant." Dad practically shouted.

"Dad calm down it was just an idea." I said.

"Hen, I think that's a great idea." JJ smiled proudly.

"Yeah, I'm happy with whatever you want to do." Will agreed.

"Well this is good timing, I'm thinking of retiring soon." Rossi announced.

"It's about time." Jack mumbled.

"Well now I know that I will have suitable replacements. Agent Reid and Agent LaMontague." Rossi smiled.

"It has a nice ring to it." Garcia said happily.

"Just don't think that your going on fieldwork anytime soon, it's lucky you don't know how to handle a gun." Dad said. Henry, Morgan, Will and I instantly looked guilty.

"Guys stop messing around, Henry you can't go a minute without knocking something over let alone have a good shot." JJ laughed. Again we all looked guilty.

"Morgan, please tell me you were joking that time you said that you took Stella to the shooting range." Dad stated.

"It was one time." Morgan admitted giving in. Dad gave Morgan a death stare.

"If it's any consolation I was rubbish, I didn't hit the target once." I said quickly.

"What am I going to do with you two. I told Kazia this would happen if we made Morgan godfather. I knew it." Dad mumbled.

"What about Henry, Will?" JJ asked.

"I'm not even going to deny it love, he's been going for years." Will said.

"He's really good." I said trying to make it better.

"Yeah I've seen him shoot when he was extremely pissed, every single bullet went through the heart." Morgan added.

"Why couldn't I of had a daughter." JJ muttered.

"If it helps Blondie basically is a girl." Jack commented.

"Hotchner." Henry glared. Again the whole table laughed as Jack and Henry stared each other out. I was surrounded by people who I only met properly a couple of months ago, but I felt like they were my family. It didn't matter that I didn't have a mum. As much as I missed her with all my heart, I had a new family who would look after me.
