Note= Above is what Heather/Hope looks like now that she is 25 and Emma is 29. I do not own Criminal Minds and the pictures.

"I'M LATE" yelled Heather as she rushed past her little nephew that was born out of a failed relationship between Emma and a man named Nathan Jones. "WATCH OUT FOR DANIEL 'S BOTTLE" Emma shouted in return, so her sister didn't trip over the white bottle. She nodded and kissed Daniel on the forehead before running out the door, trying to keep her files together.
She calmly walked out of the elevator, trying to be as composed as possible. Her hair did track a few eyes but, they left as soon as the appeared as everyone assumed she dyed it. She lightly tapped on the door to Aaron Hotchner's office. That clearly was not a good idea as that brought back terrible memories of that night.
The door swung open to reveal a middle aged man with dark brown hair and wore a black suit. "You must be Heather Lake, correct" he questioned not moving his eyebrows. Heather could tell from his body language and her instincts that he was professional, serious, and was profiling her right now. "Of course" she answered not letting her walls that she built crack at all.
"Come in" he nodded motioning toward the chair close to his desk. The room is filled with trophies and plaques. The dark oak desk sat with a black swirly chair in the right side as you walk in. Heather took a quiet seat in the black seat on the other side of the desk. "So, you have 4 Phd's, experience in the field, an IQ of 190, and degrees in psychology" Hotch began taking the swirly seat and pushing it forward so, he was even closer. "Yes, if I didn't would I be here" Heather sasses leaning back in the chair.
Hotch smilies back and stands up which Heather follows. "Welcome to the B.A.U" he shares sticking out his hand. Heather is ecstatic, except she pulls on a professional mask. "You won't be disappointed sir" she answers returning the handshake herself. "I'll introduce you to the team" he adds making a break for the door. Walking out, she smelled the coffee brewing and could hear paperwork flying everywhere.
They walked down some simple stairs to a bottom floor that could be seen when she walked into the B.A.U. A few people were talking in a small group of 4 people all surrounding one desk. They all looked over and stood to attention as Hotch and Heather entered into the little circle of people.
"Everyone this is Special Agent Heather Lake" he began pointing her way. "Lake this is Special Agent Derek Morgan, Jason Gideon, Jennifer Jareau or JJ, and our tech analyst Penelope Garcia" he finished pointing to everyone. They all gave small waves , except Garcia who jumped in the air with a pleasant squeal. "Where's Reid" Hotch asked quickly realizing he forgot someone.
"Getting more coffee, the kid seriously needs it" Morgan answered giving Heather a 'your beautiful' wink. Which she just shrugged off. "Lake, follow me" her boss added turning a doorknob and striding into another room. Heather followed into a room which looks a bit like a kitchen. Over near the coffee machine was a man that Heather could tell was at most 29.
"Reid, this is Special Agent Heather Lake, Lake this is Dr. Spencer Reid" Hotch introduced. The moment Reid turned around and their eyes met. They were trapped in each other. It was like fireworks going off each other's head. They were taken aback by each other's beauty. "N-Nice to meet you Miss. Lake" Reid started and did a slight wave. He was however still staring into her captivating grey eyes.
"Nice to meet you as well Reid and you can just call me Heather or Lake" she responded waving back still staring. "Well I'll show you your desk" Hotch added stepping in front of Heather. "Of course" the replied at the same time.
♦️♦️♦️
The rest of the day was filled with Heather and Reid giving each other glances every 10 minutes or so. She got very friendly with her whole team. Even Hotch was convinced that she was amazing.

The birch door to Heather and Emma's apartment swung open. "How was work and please be quiet Daniel is sleeping" Emma whispered wearing her midnight blue sundress and flats. "Great" Heather responded giving her sister a hug.
♦️♦️♦️
Heather could not get to sleep that night. The clock struck midnight and she was finally able to fall into a restless and light sleep. Her dreams consisted of the glorious Spencer Reid. Heather simply convinced herself that is was a simple school girl crush and would pass. Little did she know that he was having the same problem and was thinking the same thing about her.
