I thank the stupid snow storm that hit our state for inspiring this piece. I used to enjoy when the snow came, but now after the 4th day stuck inside I don't like it anymore. I want to hit it in the face, but unfortunately it does not have one. I know I've been gone for a while, and I hope you guys aren't mad with me. A lot of crazy shit has happened over these past few weeks. A lot of things have changed. Anyways, enough of my babbling on, ENJOY!

This does not belong to me, and Strauss didn't die. JLH isn't apart of the team yet, and Blake has left.

"12 inches of snow is predicted for the State of Virginia, and into the DC area. We urge everybody to stay indoors as much as possible, and please stay as warm as you can. Temperatures are at a record breaking low tonight."

Derek looked outside the window of the BAU, and cursed. The snow had already started to fall, and the roads weren't looking too well. He rolled his neck, and stood to go sit back in his chair. Might as well do paperwork. He thought with a grimace. Not like I have anything to go home to anyways. He thinks with a frown. It'd been two weeks since Savannah left him. He hadn't told anybody. How could he? It was so sudden, and he really didn't want to talk about it. He turns his head and smiles at the picture on his desk. A team photo. Emily crouching in front of him, their hands touching. He closed his eyes and memories came flooding back.

"Derek, you're seeing somebody. Doesn't that matter to you at all? What about her? What about her feelings? I can't do this. I...I'm happy, and I'm with someone. He works in a different department, and he's a really nice guy..."

That day hurt a lot. One night was all it took to ruin a friendship and cause months of not talking. It was the night after they got JJ back. He still remembers the way her lips tasted, and how soft her hair felt in between his fingers.

"Do you think anybody's here?" Emily asked JJ as they walked through the halls of the FBI.

"I don't know. At least we're warm." JJ says holding a sleeping Henry in her arms. "I can't believe the snow knocked out my power. This is insane. I hear the whole town is starting to go powerless." The girls walked into the BAU to be met with the lovely sight of Reid and Derek sitting on desks talking.

"Emily! I didn't know you were in town!" Reid says walking up to her, and earning a shushing from JJ. He wraps his arms around Emily, and hugs her tightly.

"Yeah, just for a couple days. I was gonna surprise you guys tomorrow, but..." She let the circumstances speak for themselves.

"What are you guys doing here?" JJ asks.

"Well, I wanted to pick up some paperwork so I could work on it at home, but the snow seems to be getting bad." Reid says.

"I was already here working on some stuff." Derek says. Emily bites her lip, and looks at him nervously. "Hey..." He didn't know what to call her. He didn't know if he should hug her, he didn't know what to do. He walked up to her, and she did everything for him. She wrapped both arms around him and hugged him quickly.

"I missed you." She whispers.

"I missed you too princess." He responded using an old nickname. He was glad that she wasn't mad at him anymore, or maybe she was and this was some cover. He didn't care though. Having her in his arms again was the best feeling he'd ever felt. He still had it bad for her, and there was no denying it.

"Hey! Garcia just texted me back, and said that she's on her way here." JJ says quietly while tucking Henry in a sleeping bag on the floor.

"I thought her apartment building has a back up generator?" Reid says.

"I told her everybody was here and then she got all excited and texted 'sleepover' in all caps. Hotch, Beth, and Jack are on their way too. They took a trip to New York and they're on their way back. He's worried he might not be able to make to the house, so here was faster. Guess it really is a sleepover." JJ says with a smirk.

"Guess so." Derek says still staring at Emily.
