A/N – SORRY its short! The next few chapters with JJ are ending up like "shorts", think of them as shots into the important stuff that happens between the voids of the teams workday. I think everyone has pretty much got the idea as to what's happening with her and I'm sure (like myself) you all just wants to see what will happen with Emily, a few more chapters and everything should pick up again.

Thanks to everyone who is still hanging in there, I appreciate all the FOLLOWERS and REVIEWERS!

To LR – thank you for all the kind words

When I got home Will had already gone to sleep. I locked up my gun in the safe next to the bed and placed my credentials and phone on top. I crawled into bed, pulling the blanket over my form, Will shifted in response as I lay on my side facing the room. Laying awake I thought back to the moment with Emily in the parking lot. Will's arm draped over me, I thought about how it felt in comparison. It didn't feel the same, her arms were just as strong, but they were softer, gentler, I thought about her scent. I slowly fell asleep and hoped that I would dream of her.

I got to work early the next morning. I was expecting agent Jordan Todd to be arriving today, she was to be my replacement until I returned from maternity leave. She was to shadow my every move to get a feel for the job.

I pulled open the doors to the bullpen, Hotch's office light was on, it wasn't unusual for him to be in before me sometimes. There was a sprawl of papers over Emily's desk. I frowned 'she came in early today?' scanning the empty office I spotted her in the break area with a pot of coffee, Jordan seemed to have arrived early as well, she was leaning against the counter standing awfully close to Emily.

Emily said something and Jordan laughed back, she fanned her hand in front of her face and took a hold of Emily's arm with the other. A pang of jealousy unconsciously crept through me, my hand clutched my bag a little tighter. Jordan caught my eye and pushed off the counter towards me, Emily turned her head to look in my direction.

I watched Jordan's hand as it released Emily's arm and trailed 'accidentally' across her back before approaching me. My eyes shifted to search Emily's expression which forced a smile at me then proceeded to heed attention to her coffee mug as if it were something of great interest. Jordan's face pushed its way into view and she held out her hand to shake mine "Agent Jareau glad to finally meet you"

We went to my office and from there time just seemed to fly by. I didn't see Emily for the rest of the day, I was too busy with paperwork and bringing Agent Todd up to date. Everyone's paperwork appeared on my desk after lunch I noticed that my top drawer was closed.
