Grandma?

Ring. Ring.

"Do you want me to-" I began.

"No, I got it," Emily said shrugging. She hopped off the stool she was sitting at. We were eating lunch together, because she didn't have to be at the BAU today. That was a wonderful thing.

"Hello?" Emily answered.

"Emily. It's your mother," The voice on the other line replied. Emily's look read terror and confusion.

"Who is it?" I mouthed, but she ignored me. I glared at her.

"Uhmm…h..how are you?" She stuttered.

"Fine. Thank you," Was the response.

"Uhmm…how…w- why are you calling?" Emily asked.

"I have a 3 day conference in DC starting Monday, but I'll be flying in Saturday," The Ambassador explained.

"Saturday…tomorrow…that's tomorrow," Emily put two and two together and took the hint.

"Yes…very good Emily," The Ambassador said, "I'll be staying at a hotel this weekend." Emily breathed a huge, LOUD, sigh of relief.

"Oh," Emily replied, trying as best she could to sound disappointed.

"I suppose I could stop in for a visit this weekend," The Ambassador said.

"Oh," Emily said again, this time, with true disappointment, "Will Dad be with you?" Emily asked.

"Your father will be joining me on Sunday. He has a meeting tomorrow. I'll see you at noon. My flight gets in at 11. See you then. Goodbye," The Ambassador said, and hung up before Emily could protest. Emily put the phone down at the counter and groaned.

"She didn't ask she just told what she wanted and of course she gets it because she's the effing ambassador, who's needs are more important than her own god damn daughters," Emily was muttering.

"Hello? Still here," I waved my hand.

"Oh…geez, sorry Kaitlin. Well…incase you couldn't tell…my mother is stopping in for a visit," Emily explained.

"I caught on…rough relationship with her?" I asked.

"No relationship with her…" Emily grumbled.

"Oh…so she uh…doesn't know…about me?" I asked.

"No…I'll tell her tomorrow. She'll see you and well it all goes from there," Emily explained shrugging.

"Will she be okay with it?" I asked.

"She's never been okay with my decisions, but you're not her problem so she'll get over it," Emily said.

"Ah…okay," I said. There was silence, "Cool. So we should probably clean up a bit," I said looking around.

"Yeah…and uh…find something nice to wear. We're gonna go out some where fancy for lunch," Emily said.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"She's a damn Ambassador…she's gonna wanna," Emily said rolling her eyes.

"Nice," I said.

"Yeahh…I know," Emily said shrugging once again. For the rest of the afternoon we cleaned. We ordered take out and use paper goods so we didn't have to do any more dishes, and then we went to bed early. Emily had a headache, and she assured me that it would be a long day tomorrow.

.oOo.

11pm

Ring. Ring.

"Damn phone!" Emily exclaimed. She rolled over in bed and answered.

"Hello," She answered tiredly.

"Emily, it''s JJ," the person answered.

"Oh," Emily said anxiously.

"You okay?" JJ asked.

"What…? Yeah. Of course, uh what's up, Jayje?" Emily asked.

"You have to come in tomorrow at 9… Lousiville PD needs us," JJ said rolling her eyes, though Emily couldn't see it.

"Are you effing kidding me?" Emily asked, fuming.

"Unfortunately, I'm not. Why? Do you have something today?" She asked.

"My," Emily swallowed, and took a deep breath, "My mother," She said a little nicer, "Is coming to pay a visit."

"To meet Kaitlin?" JJ asked.

"Oh we're not even there yet," Emily said groaning.

"I'm sorry," JJ said.

"It's…" If Emily wasn't freaking out before, she sure as hell was now, "It's fine. See you tomorrow," Emily said.

"You sure you're ok?" JJ asked.

"It'll be fine," Emily lied.

"Ok, hon, see you tomorrow. Get some rest," JJ said and hung up.

Emily came in my room and explained the situation to me and then went to bed.

.oOo.

4:45am next morning

"Come on Kaitlin! We have to clean! I have to cook! I have to get to work! Can we email her to come later? Can we uh-" Emily had run into my room completely freaked out. I cut her off.

"Emily SHUT UP! What are you DOING?" I practically screamed.

"I…i…I don't know, Kaitlin. My mom has never approved of ANYTHING i've done and I just want her to be proud to see I've got everything under control…even with a daughter," Emily explained. I sighed.

"Sit down," I commanded. She did, on the edge of my bed.

"YOU are Emily Prentiss. Emily Prentiss. Emily 'I don't give a damn' Prentiss. You DON'T care what people think if you. You tell it like it is and you are confident about that and about yourself.

"As for your mother…she is your mother. She loves you. No matter what. She may not always know how to say. Maybe she's never said it, but she does. She's proud of you every day. She may not know it, you may not know it, but she really does. That's how mothers work.

"It's like quarter of 5. Go back to bed. At 7:30 I'll come in and wake you up. Don't set your alarm. Take a nice, long, warm shower. Then go put on your black push up bra. The one with the nice lace on the trim. Put on those hot new black pants I picked out. Put the red shirt on with the v-neck. The one that makes you look super sexy. Then put the black boots on. The ones that say: I'm a sexy, confident, mother effer that kicks criminal ass. Put some nice waves in your hair, do your make up all nice and go eat the yummy breakfast that I make for you.

"When you get to the BAU, say hello to the family for me. Profile your little heart out, kick unsub ass, and come home. Home to your happy mother and daughter. Your mother will greet you with a hug," I said as Emily cut me off.

"My mother doesn't hug me," Emily interrupted.

"No. She will greet you with a hug when I'm done talking to her. She will tell you she loves you," I said firmly.

"Ok…if you say so," Emily said unsure.

"Now…get the hell out," I grumbled and rolled over and fell back asleep. She laughed and left.

.oOo.

At 7:30 I rolled out of bed and walked to Emily's room.

"Em, wake up," I whispered gently. She smiled and sat up.

"Thank you, hon," She said quietly and stood. She hugged me.

"Go. Relax. Take a shower. I'm gonna make you breakfast. You like eggs…" I said, not as a question, but a statement, "And veggies…I'll make you an omelet…what do you want in it, actually, I'll surprise you," I said shrugging. She laughed as I babbled. I walked downstairs and made her breakfast.

After Emily left, I took a shower and got dressed. Jeans and pretty shirt. Nothing fancy. I ate some cereal and sat on the couch. I flipped on the TV, but put it on mute. I figured I should probably think about what to say to Ambassador Prentiss. The phone rang at noon. It was the Ambassador. I didn't answer. I let it go to voice mail: Emily, it's your mother. I'll be coming later than I had expected. I will see you at 4 this afternoon. Good bye.

At 4:01pm, there was a knock at the door. I slowly stood and walked to the door. I looked in the peep hole and there she was.

"Ambassador Prentiss," I greeted with a smile when I opened the door.

"Hello. Is Emily Prentiss here?" She asked slowly. She was just an older, sterner version of Em. It was kind of strange.

"No she's not," I began, but the woman cut me off.

"Oh I'm sorry, do I have the wrong apartment?" She asked.

"Oh, no, uhm, she's at work right now. Would you like to come in so I can explain?" I asked.

"Who are you?" She asked. She sounded concerned, and a little impatient.

"I'm Kaitlin. I'm Emily's daughter," I said flawlessly, as I had practiced many times before.

Ambassador Prentiss just stared at me, as if she was unsure of what to say.

"Uhm," She stuttered,"Perhaps I'll come back at another time. Now doesn't seem like a good time," She said. As she turned to leave I did something unexpected, I grabbed her arm.

"Please don't go," I begged. She looked appalled that i had just grabbed her. She didn't respond, "I love Emily. She's my mother now. Please, let me explain. She'll be home soon. She'll be disappointed if she finds out you left and she didn't get to see you," I begged. She began to soften, i could see it in her eyes.

"Well…alright," She replied reluctantly. I invited her in, gave her some water and began to explain. I told her everything that had happened to me. My parents death, and Emily and Derek raising me, as well as JJ, her family, and the rest of the team.

"Emily is my mom now and your her mom. I would really love to get to know you, and have a relationship with you. I know that your relationship with Emily is rocky, but please give it a chance. Emily misses you. I know she does. She doesn't admit it, because she's too damn stubborn, but she does. She wants a relationship with her mother. What girl doesn't?" I said, thinking of my own mother, "Emily needs you..more than she knows. She needs you to be there for her. She needs you to love her," I finished. I looked at her directly for the first time, and she had teared up.

"You haven't been living with Emily for that long, but you've picked up some of her habits," Ambassador Prentiss said through watery eyes, "You remind me so much of her."

"Ambassador Prentiss," I began, nervous of what she meant by that.

"Please," She said, wiping her eyes, "Call me…" She hesitated, "Grandma," I realized I had gotten through to her. She wanted me in her life and she wanted Emily.

"Grandma…" I repeated, liking the way it sounded. Then, she hugged me and I hugged her back. It was weird that I had only known this woman for an hour and a half, but I felt like I had known her forever. She was like Emily, and that made me feel comfortable to be with her. I looked at the clock.

"It's almost 5:30…Emily should be home soon," I murmured.

"Do you…is she angry with me?" Ambassador Prentiss…or 'grandma', asked me.

"I think…she'll be able to forgive you if you let her in and if she gives you a chance. She nodded. Then the door opened. It was Emily.

"Kaitlin, I'm home," She called from the kitchen, "is the Ambassador," Emily said, slightly sarcastically, "here yet?"

"I'm here Emily," Grandma said walking in slowly.

"Hello," Emily said coldly.

"Emily," Grandma began. She walked up to Emily. Emily looked scared and defenseless. She didn't know what to do or what was going to happen. Grandma wrapped her arms around Emily in an embrace and hugged her.

"Mom?" Emily asked. Her mother didn't answer. She just hugged her. Emily hugged back. When Emily finally pulled away her mother said, "Emily, I'm so sorry I was a bad mother. I wasn't there for you like I should have been. I was distant and cold and I never listened to you. I was…well…I was a bitch, as you used to say," Grandma said.

"No, I never meant-" Emily began when Grandma said 'bitch', but she was cut off.

"Yes you did. But you had every right to. I was. And Kaitlin's made me realize that. And I need you. And you need me. And most importantly…I love you, Emmy," Grandma explained. Emily was shocked.

"Mommy," Emily murmured, using the name she called her mother as a child.

"Il mio tesoro dolce," Grandma murmured to her in Italian, which was what she once, long ago, called Emily. It meant My sweet treasure.

Emily smiled remembering the name from long ago. She hugged her mother again and her mother hugged her.

"How about I take you girls out for dinner?" Grandma asked. Emily looked at me.

"I would really like that," I said smiling, "Grandma," I added. Both Emily and Ambassador Prentiss were pleased with this. She went out to the car, followed by me and Emily. Emily looked at me and whispered, "I don't know what you told her, but thank you, il mio tesoro dolce," She whispered using the pet name her mother had called her. I smiled.

So the three of us went out together for dinner and I knew this was the start of a new perfect relationship.
