A FEW WEEKS AFTER "FATE" (10x09).

A WEEK BEFORE "Anonymous" (10x12).

David Rossi never thought that he would say "I'm spending the day with one of my daughters" to his coworkers.

It was a Tuesday afternoon when Jacey and her father decided to go to an art gallery auction. Jacey was happy not to go alone, she felt that being able to express your opinion on a art piece to someone was very settling.

"See anything you like, dad?" Jacey asked the man, standing beside him. Dave looked around for a second before realizing one of his girls was talking to him. "Dad?"

David gave her a soft smile, "Sorry, it's just every time I hear you or Joy call me dad...I have to look around for a moment."

Jacey snorted as a response. "It takes a while to get use to, huh?"

David shook his head, "You have no idea."

"Well, do you see something you like?"

David pointed at the the big painting of a vivid riverside with blossomed flowers as the wind blew against them. Jacey nodded in agreement.

"It would look beautiful in your study room." Jacey said as she placed her hands on her hips. "Should we get it?"

"How much is it?" Dave asked, seriously contemplating on whether to get the painting or not.

"Uh, I don't know. Hold on." Jacey said before turning around to call over her acquaintance, Karvia. "Karvia, could you come over here for a sec?"

"Madame Jacey, what can I help you with?" The blonde woman asked with her soft, British accent.

"How much is this lovely piece?"

"Oh, that is about $25,000 dollars. A beautiful piece, isn't it?"

Jacey and Dave shared the same look. They both looked at the woman sideways. Dave turned to look at his daughter to see the identical face they pulled. It was moments like this when he knew that Joy and Jacey were his children.

"I don't know, doesn't seem so beautiful anymore." Jacey said with a hushed tone. David grinned at her bluntness, it was becoming weird as to how much Jacey is like him.

Just then, David's phone buzzed. It was a group text message from Hotchner, his section chief.

FROM AARON:

WE HAVE A CASE. DEBRIEF YOU ALL ON THE PLANE. WHEELS UP IN THIRTY.

David sighed, not that he wasn't happy he gets to help people but because he really wanted to spend time with his daughter.

Jacey noticed his bothered express almost immediately. "Dad, what's wrong?"

"We're going to have to cut our day short. I have a case." David's heart broke when he saw a glimpse of sadness in Jacey's eyes.

"Go do your job. Save some lives! I'll be here when you get back." Jacey said with a soft smile. David quickly gave his daughter a kiss on the cheek before leaving. Jacey watched him leave before embracing her baby bump with her hand.

"Will we be discussing price?" Karvia, the art auctioneer, asked. Jacey scoffed before pausing.

"How about we make a deal?"
