case, and you did, turns out you were his child too which was a relief to the both of you, after that you told him all about your life, where you grew up, what school was like and what you did for a living, he was so proud to know that you achieved so much even without him in your life and he promised that he would be there from then on with whatever, later on you met the team and was re-introduced to penelope who was over the moon to hear that you were rossis daughter, and it turned out really great in the end, you had nothing to worry about, if Spencer got his own way he would have kept you to himself just a little longer because hes a pretty private person, not that he didnt want to show you off because believe me he did but he also knew how many questions Garcia would have and how Morgan would tease you two, but most of all he was scared that he could lose you, hes put away a lot of criminals and that doesnt come without consequences, however they managed to find

nephew, to be honest you prefer staying with them but your mum would never let you and you dont want to be a strain on jj, your a troublemaker like she was when she was young, shes practically your mother, you moved in with her a couple years ago when because living with your mother was getting unbearable, you go to a school close to emilys apartment so she trusts you to take yourself there

young to remember, shes trying to teach you all the languages she knows and your getting quite good at russian, you want to be like her when you grow up and join the fbi, maybe not as a profiler but

at you romantically, granted he could appreciate how beautiful you were, you catch his attention through other ways too, your work ethic and the fact that you speak 5 languages tends to help with some cases, you and prentiss definitely get along well because of it, you two then start to get closer on quiet nights when the rest of the team have headed home, he tells you about jack and you talk about the family you have in london, he would never say this out loud but he enjoys listening to you speak, he finds your accent to be very hypnotic (in the best way), you sometimes offer to finish up some

attraction between you two but they also didnt want to put you in an awkward position, but luckily morgan and penelope do not care about personal space, especially since theyve waited years to see boy wonder in a relationship and you were perfect for him, so they set up little ways to get you two alone together, it helped that you were almost always the last ones at the bau catching up on work, and you had a nice office so sometimes youd invite him in so you could work with company, hed tell you interesting facts and youd sit back and actually listen to him, it helped a lot to know someone actually cared about what he had to say when it wasnt case related, it gave him a big confidence boost especially since you are georgous, after a while it gets harder for you to hide your crush and one night you let him know, he answered back almost immediately as if hes waited as long as you for this moment (he has), after that night you two went on a couple coffee dates when you werent swamped with work and eventually told hotch who made sure to let you know that the relationship under any circumstances cannot affect your job, emily, jj and rossi caught on pretty quick, the longing looks were heard to miss, but garcia and morgan were still trying to set you up, completely oblivious to what was already going on in front of them, so what if we lock them in the briefing room?, hey guys
