The meaning…

This is how it began…

Somehow he found himself thinking about her.

He found himself thinking about her long, black hair.

The way it bounces and how beautiful she looked in the morning with those natural curls.

Those big, brown eyes that lights up when she smiles

And leaves him heartbroken when another case leaves her sad and crying for his comfort.

That smile that pushes away all the sadness he feels when he is away from his son.

And her warmth that comforts him even in the coldest day.

He wasn't supposed to fall in love with her.

He wasn't supposed to care so much for her.

But he really can't imagine a day without her in his life.

He can't imagine ever waking up without her next to him.

He would never want to see the day he wouldn't hear her say, "I love you."

Or feel her kisses. Her touch.

This is the life he had always dreamed of.

His son Jack, with him and the woman who had captured his heart and his soul.

In his eyes, she had never looked more beautiful, her stomach swollen with their daughter inside her.

This is his second chance at happiness and he will hold on to it and treasure it because a life without his son, his soon to be born daughter and Emily Prentiss, isn't a life with meaning.
