I'm Here For You

Chapter 1: Rooms.

"So guys, I'm afraid I have some bad news." Aaron Hotchner told his team on a warm July evening in Seattle, Washington. The whole team was in town for a big government conference. Why the government wasn't having their conference in the nation's capital, it was beyond any of them, but it did make for a nice change in scenery. And it was nice to be out of town for other reasons besides a case.

"Who's dead?" Garcia asked, sitting up straighter in her seat. J.J raised an eyebrow.

"The real question is who's stupid enough to commit a crime with half of the government in the city?" She asked, rolling her eyes.

"You'd actually be surprised J.J. About half of all crime happens with government personnel close by." Reid said matter-of-factly, causing Emily to look at Garcia next to her.

"Is that true?" the brunette asked the very colourful woman. Garcia shrugged.

"I don't know. I don't know what Reid is talking about half of the time." She whispered back. Morgan cleared his throat.

"Anyways, what's the bad news Hotch?" he asked the man standing in front of the rest of the team.

"Well, it's not a murder." Hotch started, smiling at his team's lack of concentration.

"Oh thank god." Garcia muttered under her breath, causing Emily to laugh quietly to herself.

"It appears that there is a shortage of rooms." The team leader told the other six FBI agents. Morgan looked at Reid, then back at Hotch.

"How short?" he asked. Hotchner looked at the ground, and then back up at his team that was currently sitting around a coffee table in the lobby of the hotel.

"Our team has been assigned three rooms." The man told his 'family'. They all looked at each other, silently pairing up for sleeping arrangements for the next five days.

"Are they single beds?" Rossi asked nervously. He would sleep on the couch before he shared a bed with any of his team members.

"Luckily no, they all have two beds. Since there's seven of us we're going to have to triple in one room." Hotch explained, taking a moment for the rest of the team to catch up to speed. "So I was thinking J.J, Prentiss and Garcia could room together, and then Reid and Morgan, and then..." he continued but was cut off.

"Oh no. I am not sleeping with Reid." Morgan interrupted, moving away from the genius who was sitting on the couch next to him. Garcia grinned, standing up and running to stand behind Morgan.

"Dibs!" she exclaimed, causing Emily and J.J. to laugh.

"Nice to know that Morgan ranks higher than us, huh Em?" J.J. asked, rolling her eyes and nudging her best friend in the arm. Prentiss laughed as Garcia stuck her tongue out at the women across from her.

"Well then where am I going to sleep?" Reid asked, looking at the two agents making googly eyes at each other.

"You can bunk with us Reid. We'll even give you your own bed." Emily offered, looking at the blonde woman next to her. J.J. nodded. She didn't mind sharing a bed with her best friend.

"Alright, then it's settled. Reid with the girls, Rossi with me, and then Morgan and Garcia." Hotch finalized, looking at the team. They all nodded. Hotch passed out key cards to Morgan and J.J. "Well then I guess we'll see you bright and early in the morning. 6:30 sharp." He said, accompanied by many moans from the team.

"Why do we have to get up at the crack of freaking dawn? We're not even on a case this time." Garcia whined, grabbing her bright pink suitcase in one hand and taking hold of Morgan's hand in the other.

"See you two in the morning." J.J. called after the two FBI agents who were heading to the elevator. Garcia turned around and grinned, causing the others to laugh.

"Why do I have the feeling I'm going to regret that decision in the morning?" Hotch asked to the women on the couch. Emily smiled.

"Oh, if I were you, I'd just hope your room isn't next to theirs. Otherwise 6:30 is going to really hurt." She said as J.J. stifled a laugh. Reid looked at the women quizzically as Hotch and Rossi fetched their suitcases.

"See you ladies in the morning. Night Reid." Rossi said as he walked towards the elevator, Hotch passing a key card to him.

"Good night Hotch. Night Rossi." Emily and J.J. said at the same time. The men waved as they stepped in to the elevator.

"Okay, what is it Reid? You look confused, and it's starting to scare me." Emily asked, looking at the very confused man in front of her.

"What did you mean when you told Hotch that he should hope his room isn't next to Garcia's?" he asked the woman. J.J. frowned.

"Aw...it's so cute how he's so clueless." J.J. whined to Emily. Reid looked at the women quizzically again.

"You still didn't answer me." Reid said, now getting annoyed. He wanted to know what they were talking about. Emily sighed to herself.

"Okay, well Reid. When two people have feelings for each other, they..." Emily started as J.J. laughed. Reid held up his hand.

"I get it. Please, no more." He stopped the woman as he stood up to grab his suitcase. J.J. held out her hand and high fived Emily. That had to be the best response to one of Reid's questions she had heard in a long time. "You know, I saw that." Reid said, passing the women their suitcases.

"I don't know what you're talking about Doctor Reid." J.J said innocently, batting her eyes as she walked towards the elevators, closely followed by Emily.
