Another morning Bailee entered the BAU floor looking at her surroundings. Being extra paranoid about who was nearby. The other co-workers were staring at her questionable and confused. Mostly likely why she was behaving the way she was. It was simple really; she was hiding from someone. It was a week later since Bailee's and Donovan's second date.

From then they both had been on four more dates. The couple had gone ice skating for the third date Bailee found it amusing watching Donovan fall over more times than she did, surprising herself that she was able to skate so easily.

On the fourth date, they went to the zoo, Donovan had planned for Bailee and him to be able to feed a sloth. Causing Bailee to burst out crying as she held the baby Sloth. In the end, she decided that the sloth needed a name after ten minutes of arguing about which name was better the couple agreed on calling him Seth.

On the fifth date, Bailee and Donovan took a tour around a museum. Her excitement grew when she saw the dinosaur exhibition. Obviously, she remembered the conversation she had with Aaron about Dinosaurs, smiling smugly at Donovan who was looking at her with an unreadable expression, she calls Hotch telling him that he was wrong. Aaron was surprised by the call from his daughter but was glad at the progress the pair was making, even if it was to tell him that he was wrong.

The sixth date had happened last night, Donovan had driven them to the same Beach where they went on their first date. Again, just like last time, they sat on the same rocks looking at the waves crashing as the sun sets, watching the moon and stars appear in silence. This time though Donovan was prepared and brought a blanket for them to place on their legs.

The night finished as the couple look towards each other, Donovan was the first to make a move, his face inching closer and closer towards Bailees. Resting his forehead on her, he takes a Shaking breath in before speaking.

"Bailee, I know you like the silence, listening to the waves, and watching the stars. But I have two questions to ask you." His face showed his nervousness.

Bailee slowly nods her head hypnotized by how close he was to her to verbally respond. Donovan grabs her hands in his bring them to his lips, kissing her knuckles before looking back at her.

"My butterfly, I've known you, for nearly a month now, giving you my number at that club that night was the best decision I could have made. I understand you haven't had an easy life, I promise I will always be here for you, for your good days and the bad ones. So, Bailee, my first question is will you be my girlfriend?"

At first Bailee did panic when she heard his words, she hasn't had the best few months or best life and was a little scared to add a boyfriend into her life. All these what if's started popping up in her mind. What if he got bored? What if he is lying? What if this is another trick?. But seeing Dovovan's nervous expression she new he was being honest and he does care for her. She knew she had a lot of negatives in her life, but Donovan was a positive that always made the negatives disappear so with that thought in her mind she says.

"Yes"

Donovan's face lights up at her answer and he moves closer to her. He looks down at her lips and then back up to her eyes. "Now my second question. Can I kiss you?"

Bailee's eyes widen but still nods her head before their lips touch, she mumbles "This is my first kiss"

Donovan could tell she was a little scared and gives her reassurance smiles "Mine too" and just like that his lips are on hers.

"BAILEE MAE HOTCHNER"

Bailee winces at the raised voice of the person she was trying to avoid. After she had gotten back to her and Derek's apartment, she had called Spencer to tell him everything that happened. She knew he would tell her his blunt honest opinion. But what Spencer didn't know what that he was the only one who she had told about the date.

Bailee knew straight away that Spencer had told the team what had happened and was going to get in trouble off Penelope for not telling her first.

Seeing Garcia walk towards her she runs toward the conference room, slamming the door shut and closing her eyes. Hearing someone clearing their throat she covers her eyes with her hands.

"We can still see you" Derek states amused.

"Nope. I can't see you so you can't see me" Bailee mutters shaking her head.

"uh oh. I can hear her heels, what did you do?" Prentiss questions hearing how loud Garcia's steps were.

"WHERE ARE YOU"

Bailee sighs slowly moving her hands from her face. Noticing everyone but Hotch was sitting at the round table she smile sheepishly. Spencer awkwardly rubs the back of his neck knowing it was kind of his fault that Garcia was chasing Bailee. The others look confused whereas Derek is smirking with one eyebrow raised.

"What did you do this time? I haven't heard her this mad since you threaten her unicorns." Derek says chuckling.

"No reason" Bailee quickly replies.

"NOT TELLING ME YOU HAD YOU'RE FIRST KISS IS NOT NO REASON" Garcia enters the doors slightly glaring at Bailee.

"What?"

"First kiss?"

"When?"

"I knew it."

At the last comment made by Derek, Bailee swings her head around to him grinning back at her.

"You knew?"

Derek laughs "When you got back you kept mumbling 'I can't believe he kissed me' then when I asked how the date went you turned bright red and ran to, you're room"

"OH...FRECK" Bailee groans as the others laugh.

"You also told Reid who can never keep secrets." He adds.

"Hey!" Reid whines. "Sorry, they ganged up on me."

Prentiss rolls her eyes "No we didn't."

"You literally gave away that something was wrong the minute you walked in. Fiddling with your hair, asking if Bailee was in, asking if she asked told anyone about her date." Rossi states.

"Big giveaway," JJ says.

"Guys! She didn't tell me!" Garcia stresses with a pout.

"Well, you can be the first time to know he asked me to be his girlfriend" Bailee mumbles.

"My little hacker is all grown up" Garcia dramatically wipes a fake tear.

"Very true, tomorrow I will be an adult" Bailee had never celebrated her birthday before, and she didn't really want to remember the day she was born if she was honest. Thinking about her birthday will make her think about all the terrible things that had happened since Hailey left her that night at the park.

Hotch still hadn't told her the truth about what happened that night. But she wasn't going to be the one to bring it up. She understood the reasons why he could just blurt out the truth. but it was still another secret he hasn't told her which made her feel uneasy if there were other secrets he has.

As Garica open's her mouth to reply to the sound of a phone ringing is heard. Bailee groans in frustration when she realizes it's her phone.

"Again?" Derek asks a little concerned. Bailee had told him about the missed calls from the private numbers. She was either at work or asleep when the calls had come through so she was never able to answer.

"Again what?" JJ asks.

"I'm not sure," Bailee mutters.

Closing her eyes she answers her phone "Hello?"

"Hello, Is this Bailee?" A soft women's voice speaks through the phone.

Bailee furrows her eyebrows "Yes. Who is this?"

"This is Emma, I am the receptionist calling from Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Centre....."
