Emily's
I walked in the glass doors and Kaitlin followed closely behind. She had become slightly paranoid ever since the murders.
"Hey beautiful, hey Kaitlin!" Derek called. I gave him a hug; Kaitlin smiled. "Hey, Morgan," I said laughing. I waved to JJ and Rossi. JJ got up and gave Kaitlin a hug, and then one to me. Hotch walked in, a smile broke his usually serious face. I waved to Reid, who smiled. Garcia walked in with coffee and put it down so I could give her a huge hug. "Thank you for looking up that stuff," I whispered in her ear.
I walked over to Kaitlin. "Kaitlin, this is SSA Hotchner, this is Dr. Reid, this is SSA Rossi, and this is the most amazing person in the world: Penelope Garcia," I told her. Garcia bowed slightly.
"Kaitlin's gonna be staying with me for some time," I explained. "Can I see you for a second, Agent Prentiss?" Hotch said to me. I nodded and went to talk to Hotch. "Hi, how are you?" JJ asked walking up to Kaitlin. "The same…Mom's been…I'm mean…Emily's been great," She said, almost embarrassed by her mistake. JJ smiled as if she understood that it was a mistake, "Do you want anything?" She asked. "No I'm okay, thanks," Kaitlin said. As JJ turned to give Hotch a file, Kaitlin asked, "Are Derek and Emily…dating? They have this kind of awkward touchy feely relationship…" JJ laughed, "It's a strange on and off thing…" She turned and walked away.
JJ waited for Hotch to finish talking to me and then she handed him a file. "Conference room in 10 minutes," He told us all and left. "What was that all about?" JJ asked me. I sighed, "Hotch…being…Hotch…He said he didn't like how I had gotten the BAU involved in Kaitlin's case before we were asked," I said. "But…you didn't…" JJ reminded me. "That's not how Hotch sees it. He told me if I ever felt personally connected to a case again…to take myself off the case…or he would," I sighed and walked away.
