They were on the jet on the way home from their case when Hotch finally asked Rossi the question that had been bothering him all week.

"How did you know?" Hotch asked.

"How did I know what?" responded Rossi.

"About Emily. How did you know she was alive?" Hotch asked.

Rossi smiled slightly. "JJ," Rossi responded, nodding towards JJ who was asleep.

"JJ told you?" Hoth asked.

Rossi shook his head. "No, the way she was acting did. The way she was acting around Reid. The day it happened, the guilt of not being able to tell was so clear on her face as soon as she thought no one was looking," Rossi replied.

Hotch nodded. "It was hard lying to everyone. I'm sure especially for JJ lying to Reid. They're so close," Hotch said.

"How did they get so close anyway?" Rossi asked.

"Well back in 2006 Gideon tried to set them up and then in 2007 Reid got kidnapped and JJ blamed herself for it. I don't think she ever got over that," Hotch said.

"Why would she blame herself?" asked Rossi.

"Well this was back when JJ was still a liaison. Her and Reid were at a witnesses house. Reid suggested they separate, and JJ got attacked by dogs, which she had to shoot, and Reid got kidnapped. JJ later said to Morgan that if she had just had his back like she was supposed to it never would have happened," Hotch said.

"She's came a long way since then, hasn't she?" Rossi asked, although it wasn't really a question.

Hotch nodded, "And now with Henry, she's like superwoman, the way she manages home an work," Hotch said admiringly. "Sometimes I think I'm not there enough for Jack, and wish I was as good with it as JJ," Hotch admitted.

"Aaron, you do your best with Jack, and that's all anyone can ask," Rossi assured him. "By the way, how is Beth?" Rossi asked knowingly.

"Hotch smiled, "She's great. She finally met Jack and he loves her," Hotch said.

"See, you're doing just fine with Jack," Rossi said. Hotch smiled and nodded.

"Plus, one thing you have over JJ is your office is immaculate. Have you seen her office? It's like a tornado ran through there," Rossi joked.

Hotch laughed, "Well she does have more paperwork then all of us still," he said.

"Yeah, well let her keep the paperwork. I know I don't need anymore," Rossi laughed.

Hotch smiled, "Yeah I don't think any of us want anymore paperwork."

Hotch and Rossi looked over at JJ who was laughing with Reid and Emily.

"At least Reid is talking to her again," Rossi said.

Hotch grimaced, "I wish he hadn't treated her like that. It wasn't her fault. It was mine," he said.

"He was just hurt. That boy's had too much taken from him already. I think Emily's 'death' almost destroyed him," Rossi said.

Hotch nodded, "Morgan too. All he wanted was to avenge her death," Hotch said.

"They'll be okay. It's Emily I'm worried about," Rossi said.

"She'll be okay too. I'm not sure she'll be okay in the BAU, but she'll do what's right for her," Hotch replied.

Rossi nodded in agreement, the two men just happy their team was back together, and healing.
