(Friday)

It was a little passed 8 when Emily's phone started ringing. She woke up with a jump to find JJ calling.
"Hello?" She said sounding sleepy.
"Oh did I wake you?" JJ asked feeling guilty.
"No it's fine" Emily said. "Is everything okay?" She asked.
"Yeah. I just wanted to let you know we're going to be on the plane in around 30 minutes so I thought we could maybe hang out, you, Bella, Garcia and I, when we get back" she said.
"Sure. I think Bella would love that" Emily said.
"Okay so I see you soon" JJ said.
They hang up.

Emily got up and went to the bathroom and then went to check on Bella who was still fast asleep. She decided to cook breakfast before going to wake Bella. She made scrambled eggs and fresh orange juice and then went up to wake Bella. When she got to Isabella's bedroom the bed was empty.
"Bella?" She called heading to the bathroom to check. No sound was heard. She headed to her bedroom.
"Bella?" She said as she opened the door. She found Bella all curled up on her bed, with her face in the middle of the two pillows.

Isabella had woken up from a nightmare again and went to Emily's bed but Emily wasn't there. Bella didn't want to go looking for her mom while she was crying so she decided to just lay down on her bed and wait till the horrible feeling was gone.
"Hey. What's wrong?" Emily asked worried walking over to the bed. Isabella didn't answer.
"Hey I made you scrambled eggs and some juice... hunm? Would you like some?" She asked running her hand on Bella's back.
"Yes" Bella said sitting up.
Emily could see she had been crying. Emily wiped her face and said "What happened?"
"I just woke up not feeling very good. That's all. Can we go eat now?" Bella said fast and avoiding eye contact.
"Bella. What did we talk about? You need to tell me so I can help" Emily said pulling Bella's chin up in order to make her look at her.
"You can help by giving me breakfast" Bella said serious not wanting to talk about what happened.
"Alright, come on" Emily said with a sad smile and they went downstairs.

After eating they sat to watch some tv. Emily pulled Bella to her lap and let her down like a baby.
"Can you stay like this for a little while?" Emily asked.
"Sure" Bella said confused.
"I could hold you like this forever, you know" Emily said.
"I could stay like this forever too mom" Isabella said smiling and hugging Emily tight. They just hugged and watched tv. It wasn't long till Bella was out. Emily was impressed that she actually fell asleep because she knew the kid slept pretty much the entire night.
Emily stayed there holding her girl till around 11:30 when Isabella jumped awake.
"Hey it's alright I'm here" Emily said as fast as Bella woke up and hugged her. "I'm here. I'm here. It's okay" she said as her daughter cried.

Isabella started wiping the tears with anger.
"Hey don't" Emily said running her thumb softly on Bella's cheek to wipe the tears. Isabella just let her mom do that and stayed there quiet.
"So... do you want to talk about it now?" Emily asked, of course hoping for a yes.
"Can we talk before bed? I don't really want to do that right now" Bella said. Emily was surprise about the 'before bed'.
"Alright. Before bed then" she said wiping another tear that feel down on Bella's face. "So how about you shower now? You kinda stink" she said smiling.
"No i do not" Isabella said smiling embarrassed.
"Yeah you don't but go shower before you start to" Emily smiled and started to tickle Bella on the ribs.
"Oh no no mom please stop" Bella giggled. "Stoooooop" she begged and Emily pulled her into a hug stopping.
"I love you" Emily said.
"I love you too" Bella replied.
"Now go stinky face" Emily said kissing Bella's cheek and Bella got up and ran upstairs.

Isabella took a shower while Emily cooked some spaghetti. They had lunch and then sat to watch tv.
"JJ is coming over later today. I think Penelope might come too" Emily said.

"Cool" Bella smiled.

"We could maybe see if the team wants to go somewhere for dinner." Emily said.

"okay" Bella said not looking very excited.

"it's alright if you don't want to." Emily said.

"its fine mom" Bella said and gave her mom a sweet smile.

"Can I invite them to go out then?" Emily asked excited.

"Sure you can" Bella smiled.

Emily then texted JJ who said the team would love to do that, so they scheduled for 7:30. Emily and Isabella spent the afternoon watching tv and reading.

When the clock hit 4:37 Emily's phone rang. It was Isabella's friend Cameron.
"Hello?" Cameron said.
"Hi" Emily said.
"Well I'm at the door." Cameron said.
"You are?" Emily asked surprised because she was meant to pick Cam up at the airport.
"Yeah I wanted to surprise you two" she said.
"Alright" Emily said laughing. "I'm coming". She hung up. "Bella can you get the door for me?" She asked.
"Who is it?" Bella asked.
"Morgan" Emily said wanting Bella to believe it was just Derek Morgan.
Bella walked to the door and opened it.

When she saw Cameron she said "cam" and jumped and hugged her. Cam let her backpack drop and just picked Bella up.
"I missed you so much" Cameron said.
"Me too" Bella said crying.
"Why are you crying?" Cameron asked.
"I don't know" Bella smiled. "How long are you staying?" She asked.
"I have to go back tomorrow morning" Cameron said with a rather sad face.
"I thought you would leave on Sunday" Emily said.
"I wish but I'm changing houses now and it's chaotic there. I already changed the ticket too" Cameron said.
"Wait. You knew she was coming?" Bella asked confused.
"Your mom sent me the ticket" Cameron said.
"Really?" Bella asked smiling and making Emily smile even more.
"I promised you, didn't I?" Emily said smiling. Isabella went and hugged her.
"Thank you mom" she said.

They had a great time chatting and watching tv. Cameron was happy about Isabella's new school and she could also see Bella was a little nervous but also happy about it.
Around 6 they went to get ready. The drive to the restaurant was quiet. Emily and Cameron could tell Bella was a bit nervous.
"let's go," Emily said with a smile, as the three made their way out of the vehicle and into the restaurant. When they entered Emily could see the team sitting at a table in the corner, all chatting, clearly grateful to be finished with the case.

Emily steered Bella towards the table, a hand on her back, drawing Morgan's attention from the conversation as he saw them approaching.
"Hey, there they are," Morgan said with a big smile on his face.
"Hey guys sorry we're late," Emily said.
"Hi," Isabella said giving a small wave.
"Hi" Cameron said before taking a seat next to JJ, Isabella sat next to her and Emily took the seat on Bella's other side.
Rossi handed them menus. "I've been to one of these in Seattle. Have you even been there?" He asked Bella about the restaurant 'Levan'
"Oh ya, lots of times," Isabella answered, taking her menu, but leaving it unopened in front of her.
"What are you going to get?" Cameron asked looking over at Isabella who was fiddling with her silverware.
"steak and fires?" Bella answered.
"Oh that sounds good!" Emily said looking at her menu again.
There was a few minutes of silence as everyone made their choices.
The conversation remained light for the rest of the meal, everyone chatting and having a great time. Isabella was embarrassed when they brought up the school subject but she liked that everyone was super proud of her. Reid was all smiles when Emily thanked him for the hundredth time and said they both loved the school.
As the night continued on, Emily noticed Isabella looking more and more tired, finally deciding that it would probably be best to go back home.
"Well I think we better call it a night," Emily announced.
"Do you mind if I ride back with you guys?" JJ asked.
"Of course," Emily replied with a smile. "You ready kid?"
"Yup" Isabella said, standing from her seat and Cameron followed.
The team all said goodnight.
They made their way to the car in the parking lot, all four getting in and settling down in silence as Emily started the vehicle and pulled out of the parking lot. The four remained quiet, enjoying the comfortable silence before Bella called out from her seat in the back of the car, looking almost asleep.
"Mom?"
"Yes" Emily said.
"Can we go to the park tomorrow?" She asked shyly. She was feeling a bit overwhelmed. Like it was hitting her that the next day was already Saturday and the weekend would fly by and soon she would be at school and her mom would be working. She thought the park could help calm her a bit. She loved that place and somehow just sitting on that bench looking at the lake made her feel good.
"Of course we can" Emily said. "And you are welcome to join JJ, and bring little Henry"
"Sure, if that's okay for the little one" JJ smiled and looked over at Bella who smiled back.
"Of course it's okay. I want to meet Henry" Bella said. Henry was JJ's son, who was 3.
"Alright. So I can pick you up on our way there" Emily said. "What time do you want to go Bella?" She asked.
"I don't know" Bella said.
"How about 11? We can drive Cam to the airport and then pick them up." Emily said.
"We could walk around and then have lunch?" JJ said.
"Sure" Bella smiled resting her head on the window.
"Alright. I'll pick you up around 11 then" Emily told JJ.
"Okay." JJ smiled. "Is it alright to tell Garcia, right? She'll be upset if we don't include her in this" she laughed.
"Of course. I was going to tell Bella to do that" Emily said looking at Bella from the mirror. "Well I guess it's best if you do. I have a feeling she'll be out soon" Emily whispered to JJ noticing Bella was fighting her sleep. JJ smiled and then there was silence again. Isabella just stared out the window for a little while fighting against her eyes that wanted to close and wondering how it would be like at school and staying with Penelope when Emily was away. She fell asleep about 2 minutes later. Emily dropped JJ off and headed home.
When she got there she woke Bella up and they went to the apartment. Emily and Cameron went to the kitchen to get some water and Isabella went straight to bed, she didn't even change, she was just so tired. When Emily went upstairs to tuck Bella in she found the girl fast asleep still with her shoes on. Emily took them off and covered Bella up, kissed her forehead and went to take a shower.
As she was walking out Cameron got to the top of the stairs.
"Is she asleep already?" She asked.
"Yeah" Emily let out a laugh.
"Has she been sleeping okay?" Cameron asked.
"Not really but she sleeps" Emily said.
"She'll be alright eventually" Cameron said. "When my dad died I couldn't sleep either" she said. She felt weird telling Emily that but she knew Emily was probably scared about what was going on with Bella.
"It gets better eventually" she said.
Emily smiled. "Well. You can share the bed with her and anything just go get me" Emily said.
"Okay" Cameron agreed. "Where's the bathroom?" She asked. She had pajamas in her hands and wanted to take a shower.
"It's in there. Make yourself at home" Emily said.
"Thanks" Cameron said.
Emily smiled and said "I'm going to take a shower too" and headed to her bathroom.

After about 6 minutes Isabella jumped awake from a nightmare. She managed not to let her tears fall. She tried to go back to sleep but she couldn't, so she got up and went to her mom's bedroom. Emily and Cameron were still in the shower.
Isabella laid on Emily's bed, smelling the sweet scent of her mother from the pillows, she felt safe like that, and it wasn't long till she fell back asleep. Emily got out of the bathroom to find Bella on her bed. She let out a laugh and laid next to her daughter who didn't even move a bit. After a while, Cameron got out of the bathroom and was surprised to not find Bella there. She was embarrassed to walk around the apartment but she had to make sure Bella was okay. She checked under Isabella's pillow for the blanket and it wasn't there so she figured she went to her mom's bed. Cameron walked to Emily's bedroom and the door was almost closed. She knocked quietly.
"Come on in" Emily said and Bella didn't even move. The kid was out. Cameron opened the door and smiled at the sight.
"I just wanted to see where she went" Cameron said. "Goodnight"
"Goodnight Cam" Emily smiled as the girl closed the door.
Emily just stared at her sleeping baby till her eyes closed and she fell asleep too.

(Saturday)

Emily woke up and Bella was snuggling her. She could feel the tight grip of the girl's hand on her shirt. She smiled at the sight.
It's was almost 8:30. She decided to stay in bed for a little while longer. The plans for the day were to drop Cam, go to the park, have lunch and then she wanted to take Bella to the library for as long as the kid wanted.
Emily just stayed there till Bella woke up around 9.
"Hi" she whispered as soon as Bella's eyes opened.
"Good morning" Bella whispered.
"Did you sleep okay?" Emily asked and Bella nodded yes.
"So after lunch what do you think about heading to the library?" Emily asked.
"Sure" Bella said and hugged Emily closing her eyes again. Emily smiled.
"Alright so we need to get ready it's 9" Emily said. "Come on" she said sitting up and taking Bella with her.
"Just 5 more minutes?" Bella asked.
"Alright." Emily said laying back down.

.

After a couple of minutes she said "alright, now we have to go" and they got up. Bella went to shower and Emily went to make coffee.
"Good morning" Bella said heading to hug Cameron who was sitting combing her hair in front of the mirror.
"Did you have a nice night?" Cameron asked and Bella nodded yes.
"I'm gonna shower" Bella said.

It wasn't long till Isabella went to the kitchen dressed in black leggings, a white The Wizard of Oz t-shirt and black wellies. Her wet hair down with a towel around her shoulder. They had breakfast and then Emily went to get ready, leaving Cameron and Bella in the living room. Isabella was combing her hair.
Emily put on jeans and a blue shirt, just her simple regular clothes, and headed back downstairs.
"Mom? Can you help me?" Bella asked trying to put her hair up on a ponytail.
"Sure but I don't think you can do that yet" Emily said smiling and Cameron laughed. "How about half up like mine?" Cameron asked.
"Sure. Whatever. Just please get this thing off my face" Bella begged taking some hair off her face. Emily laughed and walked to her to help. She did the half up and put a little clip on Isabella bangs, which could have gone behind her ears but she didn't want the wind to mess it up so Emily put a clip on and then they left.
Bella hugged Cameron the entire ride and they promised to talk every day. At the airport Isabella cried a little bit but Cameron promised to go visit and Bella stopped crying. Cameron walked into the security check area and Bella and Emily headed to the car.
"She'll come back" Emily said noticing Bella was fighting her tears.
"I know, I just miss her already" she said sad. Emily hugged her and they went inside the car.
They stopped in front of JJ's house and Penelope was the first out of the door holding a car seat in one hand and Henry's hand on the other, carefully leading the boy down the steps. JJ followed behind with a basket. JJ got into the car while Penelope put the car seat in.
"Well I thought we could have lunch there" JJ said smiling laying the big basket on her lap.
"We're having a picnic?" Bella asked excited.
"Yeah" JJ said also excited giving Bella a big smile. Penelope placed Henry in the car seat and jumped in.
"All done here" she said.
"So Bella this is my son Henry and Henry this is Bella. She's Aunt Emily's daughter. Can you say hi to her?" JJ said.
"Hi" the little boy said a little shy.
"Hi" Bella said shyly too. She thought about how cute he was and she couldn't help but smile about JJ calling Emily aunt.

The car ride was fun.
Penelope said how excited she was for the picnic and all of that and Bella played with Henry with a car he had with him and soon they made it to the park. The picnic consisted in lots of laughter and fun. Henry was completely in love with Bella and wanted to play with her all the time, Penelope went to take him to playground and he said he wanted Bella to go.
"I think I lost my godson" Penelope said to Emily and JJ who were sitting down while Bella ran to the playground with Henry.
Penelope wasn't really sad, she was smiling big at the sight of the little boy giggling with Isabella.
"Well, he definitely has a new best friend" JJ said and the women smiled.

They played for a while and then JJ said Henry needed a little nap so they decided to go home. Emily dropped them off at JJ's. Henry asked if Bella could go play inside and JJ said Isabella would go there another time and then Emily headed to the library with Bella. They looked for books for quite a while. Now and then Bella would sit down with one to read a bit to see if she liked it. They left with 3 books. One for Emily and 2 for Bella.
"So did you have a good day?" Emily asked Bella as they drove out of the parking lot.
"Yeah. It was really fun, mom" Bella smiled.
"Henry is in love with you, you know" Emily smiled.
Bella laughed. "He's adorable"
"He is." Emily agreed. "So... I'm going to stop at Walmart to grab some frozen lasagna for dinner, okay?"
"Sure" Bella said and they headed to Walmart. They bought what they needed and headed home. Both went straight to the shower.
After getting ready they watched some tv and just hung out. Later at night they had the lasagna which both liked, even though Isabella left a bit on her plate. After dinner they watched a movie and then went to bed. Emily went to tuck Bella in. Which even though she liked it, Isabella always thought it was weird because her dad had stopped doing that a long time ago.
"Anything go get me, okay?" Emily said kissing Bella's forehead. The girl nodded yes and Emily left.
Isabella just laid there thinking about everything. She liked the fact that she had a little buddy to hang out and just make her laugh. She always loved little kids and Henry was simply adorable and funny. She liked to spend time with her mother and her team. She was happy Penelope would be there but she was also scared her mother wouldn't.

In the other room Emily was also going over everything in her head. She was glad she could trust her team and she knew Penelope would take good care of Isabella. It took a while for them to sleep but they did eventually and it was a peaceful night.

(Sunday)

Isabella woke up and grabbed one of the books she got the day before at the library. She just sat there on her bed reading it.

Emily woke up a couple of minutes after Bella, she checked the time and grabbed the book she picked up. She just read for a while and then got up to wake up Bella. When she got to Isabella's bedroom she laughed at the scene of her daughter doing the exact same thing she was doing a couple seconds before.
"What are you laughing about?" Bella asked smiling.
"Nothing." Emily smiled. "Let's have breakfast" she said.
"Okay" Bella said. She put the book down and got up, ran to her mom and hugged her. "Good morning mom" she said softly hugging Emily.
"Good morning, Bells" Emily said running her hands on Isabella's back.
"Let's go" Bella said letting go of the hug and they went downstairs. They had some cereal.
"Do you wanna watch a movie now?" Isabella said putting her half full bowl on the sink. Emily pretended she didn't see that.
"Sure. I pick" Emily said running to the DVDs. Isabella followed her and sat on the couch. Emily chose 'The Others' and sat down next to Bella. 15 minutes into the film Bella went in close to Emily and hugged her.

"this is creepy mom" Bella said.

"do you want to change it?" Emily asked.

"no. its okay" Bella said smiling. The movie was in fact a little creepy but she wasn't scared.

They just stayed hugging like that till the movie was over. Isabella was thinking how Monday would go with her at a new school and her mom at work. She felt sick just thinking about it.

When the movie was over Isabella went upstairs to read. Later on Emily called for lunch and she went down to eat.
"So since you didn't eat all your breakfast the rule here is no leftovers at lunch time, alright?" Emily said serious handing Bella her plate already made by Emily.
"Sure" bella said a little irritated about it and sat down. She just wasn't feeling like eating.
They ate and barely talked at lunch. Isabella ate everything on her plate but she felt like she was about to throw up all the time. After she finished she said "I'm gonna take a shower, okay?"
"Alright" Emily agreed. Isabella headed up and Emily cleaned the table. Emily could see she was upset and she felt bad too but the kid needed food.

30 minutes later Isabella went back downstairs wearing black legging, a plaid blue and grey blouse and white chucks . She had her hair wet and down and she was holding a book in her hands.
"Mom?" She called at the bottom of the stairs. Emily looked at her surprised with the clothes. "Can I go read by the pool?" Isabella asked. They had a pool in the building on the last floor, also a party area, a game room and a gym.
"Sure" Emily said excited with the fact that Bella wanted to get out of the apartment a little. "But be safe" Emily said. She knew the building was safe but she just wanted to make sure Bella knew she had to be careful while out alone.
"I will" Isabella assured Emily and then she went out.

When she got up at the "family area", what it was called, she saw they were having a party. "Oh great" she thought sarcastically in her head. Her idea of a sunny and calm day of reading was ruined. She thought about going back down to the apartment but she noticed there were a couple of tables by the pool, more on the back, that were not occupied so she decided to sit there. She walked there embarrassed and not looking at anyone. She sat and began reading.

About 20 minutes in a lady came over to her. She looked about 40 something, had a pretty long and very blonde hair, blue eyes and was wearing a super flowery dress.
"Hi" the lady said. "You just moved in, right?" the woman said but Bella just stared not knowing exactly what to do. "Well... My name is Hilary Moore. My daughter Millie is turning 5" she said and Bella smiled. "Would you like to join us?" She asked with a big warm smile. Isabella smiled back embarrassed not really knowing what to say. She didn't know anyone there and it just felt weird.
"Well I have another daughter. She's older. Do you mind me asking how old you are?" Hilary said.
"I'm 8" Bella said.
"Oh perfect. My daughter Chloe turned 9 a few weeks ago" Hilary said. "She's inside with her best friend called iPhone and you two could maybe talk a bit" she said and Bella smiled shyly.
"I don't know" Bella said.
"Silly me! I didn't even ask you your name" Hilary laughed.
"It's Bella" she said and they lady smiled "well it's actually Isabella" she corrected herself.
"That's a pretty name." Hilary said. "Come on Bella it's going to be fun. I've seen you a couple of times with your mom, right? You live on the floor above us I think. You can go get your mom if you want" Hilary said.
"Well I don't know if children's parties is really my mom's thing" Bella smiled.
"Let me introduce you to Chloe. Come on" Hilary said grabbing Bella's hand and pulling her. She followed the lady. She was really embarrassed. Everyone seemed nice but she just really wanted to sit down and read her book.
Hilary pulled Bella through the tables in the party room till she got to one in the corner where a young girl was sitting with an iPhone in front of her. She was reading something on it. She had long blonde hair like her mother's but darker, also had blue eyes, her clothes though we're nothing like her mother's. She had jeans on and an 'American Authors' t-shirt, and had the exact same chucks as Bella.
"So this is Chloe" Hilary said stopping by the table. "Chloe this is Bella. She lives in the building too."
Chloe smiled and shyly said "hi"
"Well she was reading outside and I thought you two could make each other company" Hilary said "so yeah" she said smiling and walked away leaving Bella standing there not knowing exactly what to do.
"sit down" Chloe said. Isabella sat and placed her book down on the table.
"Nice shirt" Isabella said shyly. Chloe said "thanks" then she stared at the book.
"Sense and Sensibility" Chloe read. "So you like Jane Austen?"
"I guess. I only read Pride and Prejudice before this one but I think I like her style" Isabella said sounding nerdier than she wanted to. At that moment she just thought "great I suck at making friends" but for her surprise Chloe said:
"I read Emma first. It's really good. Then I read Pride and Prejudice but I saw the movie first so it kinda ruined it but I liked it. The other day I went to Barnes and Noble and almost bought that one but I wasn't sure if I would like it so I bought something else"
"So you like reading?" Isabella asked. She had never met anyone around her age that liked reading like her. The kids she knew always read "silly" children's books.
"Yeah. I was reading 'The Fault In Our Stars' right now" Chloe said.
"That's a good book" Isabella smiled. She was so relieved that Chloe liked reading too.
They talked a bit more about some books they liked, about the party and the food and then about their mothers.

Isabella found out that Hilary had been divorced for 3 years and the ex-husband lived in Australia. She was surprised to found that Hilary was American and the girls were Australians and that they moved to America 2 years after the divorce. Bella didn't tell Chloe what happened to her dad. She just said she had moved in with her mother and that was it.

They ate some food and went to the game room to play some games. Isabella actually did have fun. Chloe introduced Bella to her sister Millie, who loved Bella's dark hair since pretty much everyone in her family was blonde, and then they went back to the table.
Hilary just watched from afar, happy that her daughter was making friends. The truth was that Chloe was very closed up, just like Bella. Chloe had always been a shy kid and was never really good at making friends. Back in Australia she had 3 best friends who she grew up with and she was heartbroken to leave them. Hilary felt really bad but she had to take the job she was offered in DC in order to start a good new life with her kids. She saw little Bella by herself quietly traveling with a book in her hands and she could see her daughter in Bella so she went for it and apparently they were a lot alike.

The party went on till 5.
Around 4 Emily started to get a little worried so she texted Bella who said everything was fine, but didn't mention the party. They sang happy birthday and then Bella turned to Chloe and said:
"Well I think I should go. My mom is probably worried"
"Alright" Chloe said slightly embarrassed. "Well let me know if the book's good"
"Okay" Bella smiled.
"If it's good I might get it" Chloe said and Bella smiled. "Come on take some cake to your mom" Chloe said grabbing Bella's hand and walking towards her mother.
"Mom, Bella's going home" she said.
"Already?" Hilary asked.
"Yeah I have to" Bella said shyly.
"Alright let me cut you some cake" Hilary said cutting a big piece and putting on a plate. "Make sure you give your mom some, okay?" She said. "And I would love to meet her sometime"
"Sure. I'm sure she'd like that too" Isabella said taking the plate. "So... I see you sometime?" Bella said.
"Yeah" Chloe said and they awkwardly hugged. Hilary laughed.
"Well we're in 206. Feel free to stop by anytime" Hilary said giving Bella a hug.
"Okay. Thank you. Bye" Bella said shyly and headed out. She felt weird about everything that happened but she actually liked them. She thought Chloe was really nice and seemed to like a lot of things that she liked.
At the elevator she got nervous all the sudden when the thought of making friends at the new school came into her head.
But she smiled at the thought that maybe she had already made a friend in DC and that was sounding good for her.
