Criminal Minds: This one-shot takes places after Emily 'dies' in season 6.
Twenty-seven year old Brielle Stevens has been part of the BAU team for a year. They have become like family to her. One day when everyone is at work, but not working on a case because Aaron, David, and Jennifer are in a meeting, everyone else, except Derek, who took some personal time, is gathered in the main desk area. Penelope, Spencer, and Brielle are taking and laughing when a man burst in through the BAU doors.
"Karina!" The man yelled in a gruff, angry voice as he practically marched over to her and the two other agents.
Brielle jumped and turned to the familiar voice of her husband. She stared at him in shock, "Hunter." Fear consumed her body. Her worst nightmare had come true. Her husband had found her.
"Who's Karina?" Spencer muttered
Brielle glanced over at him, "It's me. I'm Karina." She shifted backwards nervous and scared.
"You left me and took my children from me." Hunter shouted at her as he lunged forward. The vein on his forehead protruded. He was angry.
"Our children." Brielle corrected him as she moved backwards "And I took them because you were going to hit our son. I had to leave to protect them, and guess what you will never see my son or daughter ever again."
Hunter continued towards Brielle with his fists raised, "You will regret that. I will make you pay. I will take you to court and make sure you never see my children again." His fist was inches away from Brielle's face.
"No!" Spencer yelled as he jumped in front of Brielle and grabbed the man's fists "If you want to hurt Brielle, you'll have to go through me."
Hunter chuckled as he flicked his wrists out of Spencer's grasps, "You don't even know her real name, string bean. Her name isn't Brielle, it's Karina."
"Brielle is the name I know her by." Spencer replied "And it's the only name that matters."
"Karina, I didn't come here to fight with you. I want your forgiveness. I want us to be a family again." Hunter explained "You, me, Kasper, and Hollis."
Brielle shook her head, "Not going to happen. Not after everything you put me through." With Spencer a little bit in-front of her, she had a newfound confidence.
"I still love you, Karina. Please take me back." Hunter pleaded "I love you and our children. I just want us to be a family again."
"I'm sorry, Hunter. I can't." Brielle told him as she backed away further behind Spencer.
Hunter became enraged, "Didn't you hear me?! I love you."
"You love her? That's funny, because the bruises that Brielle had on her face when she joined the team tell me otherwise." Penelope told him "Love doesn't hurt."
"Love is expressed in different ways." Hunter responded "Who are you to tell me how to love my wife?"
Brielle looked up, "They're my family." She looked at Penelope and Spencer and smiled.
Hunter huffed, "Huh? Family? I'm your family. Kasper and Hollis are your family. These two are nothing to you."
"I want you to leave, Hunter. I want you to go far away and never return." Brielle instructed
"You should really reconsider taking me back." Hunter responded "Because otherwise, I will take away all that you love."
Brielle shook her head, "You've taken enough from me already."
"Fine. Have it your way, but you'll be hearing from my lawyers. I suggest you get one too, because trust me when I say you're days with my children are numbered." Hunter said before turning around and leaving.
Brielle breathed out a breath as she sat down and started to cry.
Penelope hugged Brielle, "Don't cry. Don't cry." She rubbed the younger woman's back
"It's okay. We won't let him get your children, Brielle." Spencer tried to console his friend
Brielle sniffled, "He's gonna win. I'm going lose my babies."
"No, you won't. We're going to make sure that you don't." Penelope assured Brielle
