"How many?"

"We found another body today. This women really thinks she's doing what's right by dumping the bodies. Our unsub, it's like he brainwashed her."

"She believes she's satisfying her soulmate." "Exactly."

"You sound tired."

"Long day."

"You should get some sleep."

"I know. How are you two doing?"

"We're okay, miss you."

"I miss you both too. I should be home in 2 days. I call you tomorrow and check in."

"Be safe."

"Promise. I love you."

"I love you too."

Reid was in his bedroom, just hanging up the phone when he saw a figure from the corner of his eye, he looked up to see little Emma clutching her pillow and looking up at him with big tired eyes.

"All set for bed?" He asked her as he stood up from the bed.

He received a small nod before they both walked to Emma's room. He picked her up and placed her in bed, tucking her snuggly into bed.

"Daddy?" She asked

He looked up with a questioning expression on his face,"What's a soulmate?"

She must've heard his conversation with JJ. He thought before answering.

"Well...a soulmate is like a best friend but more. They're the one person your meant to spend your whole life with and love no matter what."

"Do you have a soulmate, daddy?" She asked curiously.

He smiled,"I do."

"Who is it?"

"It's your mom."

"You love mommy?"

"I do, very much. I love both of you very much." He smoothed down her dark curls. He leaned up and kissed her head,"Goodnight sweetie."

"Goodnight daddy."

I know it's extremely short. I'm thinking about making a time jump to when Emma's a lot older. Like a teen. I feel like that'll be the start to ending this trilogy. How do you feel about the time jump? Let me know. Also do you guys actually like this? I mean do you enjoy reading it? I feel like it sucks.
