Before they knew it, two more weeks had passed and they were now standing before the judge.
"I find that it's in Riley Anderson's best interest that she remain in the custody of agents Prentiss and Jareau. Miss Anderson, you are from now Riley Jareau-Prentiss. I wish you all the best luck. Case dismissed." The judge said as he banged the gravel.
The new family had tears running down their faces and were embracing each other.
JJ and Emily were planning on introducing Riley to the team today.
They were all going out to dinner with the team to celebrate the adoption.
"Hey guys." JJ said as she spotted her 'family' already sitting at a table.
"Hey JJ. Hey Emily. Hey Riley." Garcia said happily as she hugged each one of them.
Garcia had been the only one who had already met Riley. Riley had learned to trust Garcia and hung out with her a lot.
"Hey Garcia." All three said.
"Hey guys." Emily greeted.
"Hey Prentiss." Morgan said with his usual grin.
"Okay guys, this is Riley." JJ said as Riley said an awkward 'hi'.
"Riley, this is Derek Morgan, Spencer Reid, David Rossi, Aaron Hotchner but we call him 'Hotch', this is Hotch's wife Hayley, and their son Jack, and of course, you already know Garcia." JJ introduced.
"It's nice to meet you, Riley. I've heard a lot about you." Derek said as he smiled at her.
She smiled back. Somehow, she trusted him. She just met him, but she trusted him, she didn't know why though.
"It's nice to meet you." The rest of the team said with a smile.
"It's nice to meet you all too." Riley said with a smile.
They chatted for a little bit before ordering and then continued to chat as they waited for their food to arrive.
When the food arrived, they ate and talked and laughed, enjoying their meals and each other's company.
"Hey guys, I'm really sorry, but we have to go. It's way past Jack's normal bed time." Hotch said apologetically.
"We understand and don't worry. We'll see you tomorrow." JJ said smiling as they said goodbye to Hotch, Hayley and Jack.
A few minutes later, Rossi and Reid also departed.
"Hey guys, I think we're going to head home." JJ said to Garcia and Derek.
"We are going to hit some clubs, mama. It's our day off tomorrow." Derek said laughing.
"Speaking of which, if you want to start work tomorrow, Derek and I can watch Riley-" Garcia said
"Uh, we don't know about that." JJ said as she and Emily looked at each other worried.
They both knew that Riley was a little scared around new people, especially men, so they were concerned that Riley wouldn't be comfortable.
"It's okay with me, if you guys want to go to work." Riley said confidently.
It surprised Emily and JJ, they had not expected that from Riley, but were happy to see progress.
"Are you guys sure?" JJ asked Garcia and Derek.
"Yeah."
"Okay then." JJ said
"Well, we better get going then." Emily said.
"Alright, we'll see you tomorrow." Garcia said.
When the three got to the car, Emily started the car while JJ smiled at her new daughter.
