Hey everyone :) I decided I would make a sequel to It's Only a Dream because a lot of people seemed to like it. I would like to thank Kezi , Nix1978, Lexis4MorganPrentiss (love the name by the way) , MH96, and rmpcmfan for the comments. All the views on It's Only a Dream really meant a lot to me , so thank you again.


Derek and Emily had tried their hand at a long distance relationship for six months . Not only were Derek and Emily happy , both BAU and INTERPOL teams were ecstatic as well. Like all relationships , Emily and Derek had disagreements and there were ups and downs . Emily and Derek were glad that they didn't have to hide behind their feelings anymore. As strong as their relationship was , both of them still were stubborn , and that brought many arguments.


On an early morning in Virginia , and a late afternoon in London ; Derek and Emily were having a heated argument over video chat.

" I don't understand why you can't come back to Virginia." Derek stated with his frustration level rising

" I don't understand why you don't want me to be happy." Emily stated back in a loud voice.

Derek rubbed his head and gave out an over dramatic sigh.

"Wouldn't you be happy with me ? No , oh yeah I forgot you tend to leave when something gets too difficult, and the fact that you are never happy , with anything." Derek yelled

"I can't believe you would even bring me leaving up. Come on ,you know I had no choice . You're just angry because you thought I should have told you." Emily practically screamed , with her brown orbs bubbling with anger.

" No , you never have any choice , do you? Why can't you understand that there are two people in a relationship , Emily ? It's not always just you." Derek stated with annoyance in his voice.

" You just can't face the fact that I'm not always by your side, Derek. I hate to be the one to break it to you babe , but you don't own me. Never have , and you never will." Emily yelled back

" Own you ? I never said anything about owning you. I'm just worried about you. Can you blame me , you're over three thousand miles away. I just miss you, a lot . " Derek said , his voice was softer than before.

" What can I do , Derek? You know I can't just get up and leave. I don't think this is a good conversation to have over a video chat. I will try to come for a visit soon. Bye." Emily said before ending the call.


Derek was worried by the way Emily hung up so quickly. They always had said I love you , even if they had gotten in a fight because they knew that with their jobs they might not get the chance to say it again. Was Emily considering breaking up with him? He prayed to God that she wasn't because she meant so much to him. Derek grabbed his go bag and headed out the door to go to work. The thirty minute car ride gave him time to think. He wanted to show Emily that it was a great idea to come back home to Virginia. Home, it was where she belonged. She didn't belong in London no matter how great she was at running the office. She belonged at home , with him , the team , even Clooney. Clooney had been down ever since she left for London again. Derek wished his relationship with Emily hadn't been so rocky the past few months. There had been times when even he had doubted the strength of their long distance relationship.

He pulled into the parking lot and headed to the elevators. Somehow he was going to convince Emily to come back home. Even if he couldn't find a way , he knew who could. JJ and Penelope missed Emily almost as much as him. They would definitely help him , he was sure of it. It was time to initiate operation bring Emily back home. It was going to work, it had too.


Emily hated the way she had hung up on Derek , and she knew it probably had worried him. She felt bad, but he had to know she was still upset with him. They had gotten into a lot of fights in the past month over her staying in London. She didn't find it fair that he was asking her to move , when he hadn't even suggested moving himself. He wouldn't want to leave Virginia because he loved it there , and she didn't want to leave London because she felt at peace. She couldn't even believe he had brought up Doyle. She had wanted to tell him everything , but she cared about him too much to risk him getting hurt. She wanted to live with Derek , even in Virginia but she didn't want to feel afraid again. It wasn't easy for her to admit she was afraid , especially being the strong-willed Prentiss she is.

Somewhere in her heart Emily knew she would end up going back to Virginia. The road wouldn't be easy , especially if Derek and Emily kept up their arguing. The road to getting over Doyle wasn't finished yet. Emily knew that she would find the end of that road soon, and happiness would be waiting for her at the end. The only thing Emily was worried about was how to get there , and what cost she would have to pay.
