Chapter 1

Standing in the elevator Emily couldn't help but think about the choices that lead her back here. She was torn from her thoughts by the little boy pulling on her arm

" You okay mamma?" he asked in his sweet voice.

"Mammas fine baby we're just going to meet some of mommy's friends and I'm a little nervous". Emily looked at her son , 'just five years old and he's already seen so much' she thought to herself. "Mom everything going to be fine" Emily looked from her youngest to her oldest. After Emily chose to go to London and run Interpol she decided to adopt Declan she loved him like her own child to begin with and it wasn't his fault who his father was. All she could do was nod 'Everything's going to be fine' she thought 'I hope'.

Finally after what felt like an entirety the elevator dinged and the doors opened to the B.A.U.. Taking a deep she subconsciously rubbed her six month pregnant belly where her first and only daughter currently resided. 'Lets do this' she thought to herself holding her sons hand the group of three made there way into the B.A.U. Looking for her friends and former team members Emily couldn't help but feel like a scared little girl 'What if they judge me?' she thought 'What if they hate me?' pushing the bad thoughts from her head she noticed that the team were all in the conference room.

She could hear Penelope and Morgan flirting , JJ and Rossi teasing Reid and Hotch trying to regain control of the group. She smiled it felt good knowing somethings never changed. Emily didn't quite know how to approach the situation , she was thankful when Garcia noticed her

. "Oh my God you're here! Why are you here? Not that we're not happy to see you but you never just visit. Why are you here? Whats wrong?" Penelope asked in a rush.

"I'm here because I didn't know where else to go" Emily confessed feeling five pairs of eyes resting on her.

"Declan" she turned to her son "Here is $30 theres an arcade a couple blocks south why don't you take your brother to go play some games for a little while".

The teams eyes all went to her children who were just now being noticed. Sensing his moms nervousness Declan took the money and promised he'd have his cell phone on him. Once her children were gone it took everything in Emily not to start crying right then and there. "I know you have questions and I can explain"she said waiting for the interrogation to begin. It was Rossi who spoke first

"Who are they Em?".

"They're my children. obviously you guys know Declan , after I moved to London and got used to Interpol I adopted him. The little boy is Matthew David Prentiss he just turned five and this" she gestured to her baby bump "Is Adeyln Rose Prentiss due in three months" She finished waiting for someone else to speak up.

"David?" Rossi asked with a faint smile on his face. ''Yep after the two men who've helped me the most" she replied thinking back to when she told Rossi about her teen years.

Morgan spoke next. "Are you married" he asked with concern in his voice.

This is what Emily was worried about. She didn't want to tell them but she knew she needed help."Technically yes. I met Charles not long after I left and we got married when I got pregnant with Mattie".

"You said Matthews last name is Prentiss" Hotch asked confused if 'She were married surly her children would have there fathers last name right?'

"It never felt right giving them his last name." Emily took a deep breath trying to calm herself down. "I left him , we're getting divorced and hopefully I won't ever have to see him again."

She looked around the room everyone was stunned trying to comprehend what could've happened in their friends life that she dropped everything and flew across the Atlantic.Unsurprisingly it was Reid who figured it out.

"How long has he been hurting you Emily?"
