The way I see it, the BAU is like a family. Jason was the dad, Strauss is the annoying step-mom, Hotch is the oldest son who's WAY over protective of his brothers and sisters, JJ is the fun sister, Elle was the sister that felt like she couldnot live up to par, Derek was the boy next door, Reid was the awkward baby brother that got the short end of the stick, Emily is the step-kid that was never fully welcomed into the family.over a year ago
