Thanks for your reviews and adding me to your alerts. If I haven't said this before this is an AU story.

I don't own anything but the story line, Rebbecca and any other characters that you won't see in the show.

^9*

In the week that passed with Rebbecca in the house my worries hadn't eased. I knew from her letters that she wasn't generally a quite child but she hadn't spoken much more than good mornings and how was your days. She didn't leave the house except to take walks with muggie around the land.

I knew she wasn't completely withdrawing from the shock from the accident because every time we came home beautiful music could be heard from the music room but she stopped every time she realized someone was home. Every night she played a game of chess which Reid which he complained about profusely everyday at work because he hadn't won one game since they started playing. And Hotch had informed me that he had seen her in the middle of the night on the kitchen counter.

Thats why when I walked into the kitchen Saturday morning I had to double take to make sure I wasn't finally going crazy. She was standing with a cup of coffee by the sliding glass doors looking out at the back yard garden which was at its peak summer bloom.

For a moment I stood at the entry of the kitchen and just watched her still not believing that my five month old little baby girl had grown into this mysterious young lady.

"Morning Nightingale." Startled she almost dropped her coffee mug she cast her eyes down before scurrying over the the sink rinsed out her mug and placed it in the dishwasher.

"I'm sorry I didn't think anyone will be up at this hour I'll get out of your way." I grabbed her arm gently as she skirted passed me.

"Rebbecca your not in anyones way. One this house is two big for anyone to be in anyones way. And Two we want you here especially me. So please stop hiding and come have breakfast with me." She was hesitant at first but then she gave in. Smiling I led her over to breakfast table.

"What would you like to eat?"

"It anything is fine. I normally just grab some coffee and run."

"Sounds familiar." I laughed as I started a large batter of pancakes after starting up the coffee maker. The others would be down soon.

"What's your normal Sunday routine?" She seemed to have spaced out again but recovered quickly.

"I don't have one."

"That can't be true everyone has one. Emily for instants likes to spend her Sundays reading on a good day like today she'll do it out in the garden. JJ and Penelope like to go shopping. I don't know why but they do. Reid will go to a museum, book signing, or Sunday lecture if its a nice day if not He'll spend the day watching PPS and Discovery."

That made her laugh I assumed she could picture it. Just than Morgen walked into the room and straight for the coffee with out so much as a word.

"As you can guess from the gym close thats were Morgen will spend most of his day before coming home and crashing on the couch to bug the hell out of poor Reid."

"The second half of my day is what I enjoy the most." Morgen laughed after gulping down some of his coffee and taking a seat with Rebbecca.

"Hotch sadly will spend most of his day working. I swear to god the man will die over and FBI file."

"I'd like to think I'd have the prescience of mind to go to the hospital if I'm having a heart attack."

Hotch commented as he walked in I pointed with a spatula at the file he was carrying and said no more. Morgen on the other hand couldn't help himself.

"Thats because you'll bring a file or two with you. Its only eight and your already at it." Hotch said nothing while he pored himself coffee and sat with them.

"And I reserve my Sundays to work in the study writing my latest book. So I ask again what is your Sunday routine."

Rebbecca hesitated for a moment before a ghost of a smile appeared on her face. "Breakfast. Every Sunday morning my step-dad and I would go out for breakfast. Then sometimes we would just wander around the city. But most times we would just go home and spend the day in his study while we both worked."

Now I felt bad for asking. Non of us said anything for a moment and we didn't have to when the girls came down chattering up a storm Reid not far behind.

For a long while there was a buzz of activity as coffee was served and conversations started. That was until someone started to ring the door bell and knock franticly.

"I'll get it." Reid jumped up trying to get away from Penelope and Morgen who were teasing him about something. I hadn't caught what but the boy hated craziness so it wouldn't matter if there was an ax murder at the door at least he could handle that.

The knocking and ringing stopped "Hey!" we heard Reid yell before someone stormed into the kitchen in a blur of movement like he owned the place.

"You must have finally snapped!"
