"So you nervous about today?" Christy, Kelly's girlfriend of six months asked as they lay in bed wrapped up in each other's arms. It was early in the morning and Christy knew that Kelly had been awake for several hours.

"No, why would I be nervous? What makes you think that?" Kelly replied, her voice almost squeaking.

"Oh yeah, you're not nervous at all?" Christy laughed.

Today was Kelly's first day of work at the FBI Communications office with JJ. She had graduated from the academy with honors and. thanks to JJ and Emily's connections, had managed to land a very coveted spot on JJ's team.

"Okay, so I'm nervous…shoot me." Kelly smirked, but then cringed when she realized what she had said. "Oh baby, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. It was just a figure of speech." Kelly said pulling Christy closer. Kelly and Christy had been dating for six months and because Christy loved Kelly, the thought that her girlfriend was going to be carrying a gun and constantly be in harms way, did not set well with her.

Flashback…

"JJ? Emily? It's me and Christy." Kelly yelled as she entered the house. It was Sunday and Sunday meant dinner with the family. That was the rule and everyone knew it. Kelly smiled as she saw a wobbling legged Tom slowly walk towards her. Tom was a year and a half now and loved Kelly to death. "Hey there little guy." Kelly smiled as she picked him up and began tickling his belly.

"Thomas Morgan Prentiss where did you…" Emily came around the corner and saw exactly where her son had run off too and couldn't help but smile. "Hey Kelly. Christy."

"Hello Mrs. Prentiss." Christy replied. She had met JJ and Emily several times in the four months that she and Kelly had been dating but they still made her nervous. Although she knew that Kelly was not their 'real' daughter, she might as well be and she knew that they were both very protective of their family.

"I've told you about that, Christy." Emily said placing her hands on her hips.

"Sorry, Emily." Christy blushed.

A little while later, Kelly was in the kitchen helping JJ with dinner while Christy sat in the living room playing with Tom. Emily sat on the couch and smiled. She was happy that Kelly had found some one like Christy. Christy had been good for Kelly. They had met about five months ago, just after Kelly had started the academy, and quickly became good friends. However, that friendship quickly turned into something more.

"Mrs. Prentiss… I'm sorry Emily, can I ask you something?" Christy asked suddenly out of the blue.

"Sure."

"How do you do it? How do you deal with the fact that someone you love is out there putting their life in danger on a daily basis?"

"Well luckily, since JJ left the BAU she is not in danger all that often, but it does happen and when it does, I have to trust her and her abilities. I'm not going to lie to you and say that it's not hard, but if you love someone you have to believe that they will do whatever they can to come home each and every night."

"Its just… Look I know that Kelly and I have only been dating for four months, but I love her. I love her with all of my heart and I'm pretty sure she feels the same way and I knew that she was going to be an FBI agent when I met her…"

"But now it's almost here and you're scared?" Emily said finishing Christy's thought.

"Something like that." Christy frowned.

"Look, I like you Christy and I'm happy for you and Kelly, but you are going to have to learn to accept the fact that Kelly is going to be an agent and sometimes she will be put into dangerous situations. Lord knows I don't like it any more than you do. The last thing I want is for something to happen to her; but this is what she wants." Emily told Christy honestly. "Plus she will have JJ and Morgan to look after her." Emily smirked causing Christy to laugh.

"I know this is just something I'm going to have to get used to." Christy said putting on a fake smile. "I love you and that's all that matters."

"I love you too and I promise that I will always, always come home." Kelly smiled as she pulled Christy into a kiss.

Meanwhile a few streets over, JJ lay awake staring at the ceiling. Today was Kelly's first day at work and JJ was nervous as hell. She felt Emily stir beside her a few seconds later she felt Emily wrap her arms around her waist.

"What are you doing awake?" Emily asked with a very sleepy voice. "The alarm doesn't goes off for another hour."

"How did you even know that I was awake?" JJ asked turning to face her wife.

"Honey we have been together for a very long time now, what do you think?" Emily teased. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Don't give me that. Part of that being together for a very long time means I can tell when something is bothering you." Emily replied as she brushed a few loose hairs away from JJ's face.

"Today is Kelly's first day." JJ said softly.

"And?"

"I guess I'm a little nervous is all." JJ replied. "I mean I'm going to have to give our daughter a gun today." JJ frowned, but Emily couldn't help but smile at the ease that with which JJ has said her 'daughter.' "What are you smiling at?"

"You called her your daughter." Emily answered back.

"Well, I know technically she's not, but she might as well be. We have been supporting her for over six years now and in my eyes she is no different than AJ."

"I know and I'm not saying you're wrong. I just liked the way it sounded." Emily smiled.

"Yeah well she is becoming a full fledged FBI Agent today and I guess that scares me a little."

"It scares me too, but this is what she wants to do and we have to support her. Plus I'm pretty sure her boss will do everything in her power to keep her safe." Emily teased as she pulled JJ a little closer. "She's going to make a good agent JJ. I have total faith in her. Plus, not to mention, she has two of the best agents I know to learn from." Emily smiled.

"You trying to sweet talk me Emily Prentiss?" JJ asked wagging her eyebrows.

"Maybe, is it working?"

"Maybe." JJ smiled as she pulled Emily onto of her and pulled her into a kiss.

Two hours later, Kelly pulled in the parking lot of the FBI building in DC. She pulled out her badge, showed it to the security guard and then made her way to the fourth floor. When the elevator reached the fourth floor, she took a deep breath and stepped out, literally running into JJ.

"Not the best way to start your first day Agent Thompson." JJ said as she wiped the coffee off her hand.

"Oh my god JJ…oops I mean Agent Jareau. I'm so sorry." JJ could not help but smile. She had never seen Kelly this nervous, well not since she introduced them to Christy.

Flashback…

"Are you sure about this? I mean we have only been dating for a month. Don't you think it's a little early for me to meet your family?" Christy asked nervously, praying Kelly would change her mind.

"Look I'm nervous too. Hell you are the first girlfriend that I have ever brought home, but I want you to meet them. I really, really like you and I want you to meet the people that I'm proud to call my family."

"Okay, but…"

"But nothing. They'll love you." God please don't let Emily kill her, Kelly thought to herself.

They pulled into the driveway and walked inside the house. They found Emily and JJ sitting on the couch watching television while Tom was playing in his playpen.

"Hey Kelly, I didn't know you were stopping by tonight." JJ smiled as she got up and hugged Kelly.

"Yeah, well, it was just a last minute thing." Kelly said, her nerves clearly showing through.

"Everything okay Kelly?" Emily asked, glancing to the woman standing behind her.

"Yeah, great actually." Kelly smiled. "I just wanted to introduce someone to you. JJ, Emily I would like to introduce you to my girlfriend, Christy Anges." Kelly said practically dragging Christy around from behind her.

"Girlfriend huh?" Emily snickered and Kelly felt her stomach flip. "Well it is nice to meet you Christy." Emily said with a smile.

"Thank you, it's nice to meet you too Mrs. Prentiss, Mrs. Jareau." Christy said as she clung to Kelly's hand. "Kelly has told me so much about you."

"Well clearly not enough for you to know not to call us Mrs. Prentiss and Mrs. Jareau." JJ teased and Christy squeezed Kelly's hand a little tighter. "Call us Emily and JJ." JJ smiled.

"Why don't you come with me? I have some forms you need to fill out and then I'll show you around." JJ replied.

"Okay." Kelly answered as she followed JJ to her office.

"Kelly you need to relax, sweetie." JJ said once they were inside her office.

"I know. It's just I'm so nervous. I really want to do a good job."

"You'll be fine. I promise." JJ smiled, hoping that her own nervousness wasn't showing. "Okay, so here are the forms you need to sign. Standard forms really, but this one is your emergency contact sheet. I need that filled out with at least three contacts."

"Is it okay if I put Emily down as one?"

"Of course."

"Okay well, then I guess it'll be Christy, Emily, and then AJ." Kelly said as she filled out the form, before handing it back to JJ. JJ looked it over and then put it in Christy's file.

"I really hope I never have to get this piece of paper out, Kelly." JJ said with a slight frown.

"I hope so too." The image of JJ having to call Christy with bad news flashed in her head and she felt a shiver run down her spine.

"Okay, well, enough of that." JJ said with a weak smile. "Here is your official badge and your gun." Kelly stared at her badge with amazement.

"Thanks JJ." Kelly replied as she handed JJ her temporary badge and replaced it with her new one.

"Okay, I think that's about it. Just remember that at least for a while you need to call me Agent Jareau. Morgan is the only on the team that calls me JJ." About that time there was a knock on the door and in walked Morgan. "Speak of the devil." JJ smirked.

"Very funny, JJ. Hey kiddo." Morgan said as he looked over at Kelly. "First day huh? Nervous?" Morgan teased.

"Morgan, stop it. She's nervous enough as it is." JJ said as threw a wad of paper at him.

"Okay, okay." Morgan held up his hands.

"Did you want something, Agent Morgan?" JJ asked.

"Oh yeah, Agent Patrick called said they got a tip on where one of our suspects might be hiding. Thinks he might be right here in DC."

"Really? That's good news. I'll call the Director and let him know. Take Agent Cedance and go…"

"Why don't I take Kelly here? Let her start her first day off right." Morgan asked JJ, winking at Kelly.

"I don't think that's a good idea."

"Why not?" Morgan asked.

"You said it yourself, it's her first day." Morgan just looked at JJ. "Okay fine, but you had better watch her closely." Morgan slapped Kelly on the back and smiled.

"Okay rookie, let's go." Kelly and Morgan turned to leave JJ's office, but before Morgan could leave JJ called for him to come back in. "Yes boss lady?"

"I was serious Morgan, you had better look after her." JJ glared at Morgan.

"I will. Don't worry, Kelly's smart and she's tough. Reminds me a lot of Emily, actually."

"I know…that's what scares me."
