Just once! Just one time, Emily thought. Her and Derek had gone out for drinks after a tough case. Both of them wound up drunk. And all the years of built up sexual tension finally got released that night as they somehow ended up at Emily's apartment where they had a night full of passionate sex.

That fateful night was 7 weeks ago and as Emily sat in her bathroom, she knew she was in deep shit.

She was scared and she didn't know who she could talk to. It was against regulations to date someone on your team but they weren't dating. It was a stupid mistake between two friends but was it really a mistake? Emily knew she should have told JJ or Garcia but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. So she did what Emily Prentiss knew how to do best, she ran.

At The Office:

By 10:00 am the team was starting to worry when Emily still hadn't come in. It was unusual for Emily to be late let alone, 2 and a half hours late,

"Has anyone tried to call her?" Hotch asked with a stern look on his face.

"I'll try." JJ responded, reaching to grab her phone to call her best friend. "She not answering." she said after the call went to voicemail.

"JJ, you and Morgan go to her house. Call me once you get there." they both nodded at their boss before they went on their way.

Arriving at Emily's house they both got out and stood in front of her door for a second until JJ finally reached out to knock on the door. After about a minute of waiting with no reply, she knocked again. Still not receiving a reply JJ reached for the spare key she knew Emily hid in the soil of the flower pot behind the bush on the side of her door.

"Emily?" JJ called out after letting Morgan and herself into the house

"Emily?!" Derek called out this time.

"She's not here." the blonde said having looked around the entire house. Nothing was out of place. Everything was neatly kept so a break in/ kidnap was out of the question. But the one thing JJ noticed when she looked in the bedroom was that most of Emily's clothes and personal belongings were gone.

"JJ," Derek said as she descended the main staircase to walk into the kitchen. The hurt evident in his voice as he spoke. "She's gone." he said as he held up the note he found on the kitchen counter. It simply said "I'm sorry." In Emily's neat handwriting.

As JJ looked down at the note, she saw something on the kitchen counter that made her heart stop. Emily's badge and gun.

"Hotch, she's gone." JJ told her boss as blue glossy eyes met brown ones.

Emily knew by the time the team realized she wasn't going to be at work that she would be long gone. Emily also knew her friends, she knew that if she used her real name to do anything, Garcia would find her. She knew she had to use one of her aliases. As she bought her plane ticket she knew that as of that moment, Emily Prentiss no longer existed. She was now Amy Leclercq. France is where she decided she was going stay for now.

She knew running wasn't right. But she justing couldn't bring herself to tell Derek that she was pregnant with his child. She knew that if she told him he would be there. To anyone that didn't know him, he seemed like a player and well, he was. But she knew that if she just told him he would have been there for her. He would take care of his kid, of her. But she was just too scared to tell him.

Derek had the right to know that he was going to be a dad. Or was he? She quickly shook away those thoughts because she already loved this baby more than anything. After all those years of regretting that choice she made when she was younger, she knew she couldn't do that again. And the thought of giving their baby up was unbearable. Their baby. Her's and Derek's baby. A baby that was made out of love. But was it really love or was it just drunk sex? Emily knew the answer to that questions deep in her heart but she would never admit it to anyone or to herself for that matter. "God, what am I doing?" She said out loud to herself.

Protection. Why didn't they use protection?! That was one thing she couldn't stop thinking about. How could they have been so stupid? But if we did use protection she wouldn't have this little life growing inside of her right now. It was no secret that Emily wanted to be a mom more than anything. Derek had just given her that chance so in her mind were they really being stupid? She was pregnant by a nice guy granted he was her colleague but he was sweet, kind, caring and he would be there for her no matter what. What more could she ask for?

Sitting on the couch of the condo she had rented, her phone rang for what felt like the hundredth time that day. The team had been trying to call her all day and as she looked at the caller ID she saw that it was Garcia. "Shit." she muttered out loud. It had just hit her that Garcia could track her phone. She knew that she should answer it to let her know that she was okay but she didn't. Instead she sent a quick text to the person she knew was worrying the most right now, Derek. "I'm fine. Please don't come looking for me." after she sent the text she turned her phone off and threw it away. She would get a new one tomorrow.
