I originally planned to post one new chapter per day, but then I remembered that I'm going away this weekend. So I'm gonna post a small chapter now and then continue posting on Monday (maybe Sunday) Hope you like this

Chapter 2

Making our way to the park that is just a block from our home, I have Kahlan on my hip in a tight grip, not wanting her to be lost or for someone to take her. I know I'm being a bit paranoid, but she's my baby so I'm allowed. The park we're going to is very child friendly with a big playground for kids in all ages. Kahlan loves it, so every time that we can, we go.

"Mommy, can you push me on the swing, please?" She makes an adorable pout, already knowing that I can't resist her when she uses it, her secret weapon.

"Sure sweetie." If the pout works when she gets older, I'll be doomed!

Going over to one of the swings for the younger children, I put Kahlan in it and making sure that the security belt is sitting rightly around her before I start pushing. I must admit that she is very brave at such a young age, or maybe just naïve, I think as she screams "Higher mommy!"

I was sitting on the bench watching Kahlan build a sandcastle when a little boy that looked kind of familiar approached my daughter and started to build with her. Maybe she'll make a friend, I think smiling. But the smile disappears when I suddenly remember where I've seen him before. That is Jack Hotchner, Aaron Hotchner's three year old son. That can only mean that he is here somewhere to since Hayley lives on the other side of town.

Dread starts to fill me as I see him on another bench not far from me. It doesn't look like he has noticed me yet, but he will soon, it's not like I can get Kahlan and leave since he's watching his son with hawk eyes. I look back to where Kahlan and Jack are, but I can see in my peripheral vision that Hotch has made me, and is walking towards where I'm sitting.

"Prentiss? What are you doing here?" He looks so confused, which almost make me giggle at him. 'Should I tell him?' I really don't want to lie to his face, and the fact that I haven't told anyone on the team about Kahlan is just an omission. He sits down beside me waiting for an answer to his question. I bite my lip before taking a deep breath, and then sigh.

"I'm here with my daughter" I whisper just loud enough for him to hear me. "She's the one playing with your son"

Cliffhanger : ) How will Hotch react to the news that Emily has a daughter that no one knew about? You'll have to wait and see
