Hey Guys. This is the sequel to Love Never Dies. If you haven't read that one, I suggest you read it before reading this one so this one will make sense. This takes place four years from where I left off in Love Never Dies. I do not own any of these characters except Mari and anyone you may not recognize in later chapters. The Criminal Minds Characters are owned by CBS. I hope you enjoy this story. Please Review! Thankyou to my friend Billie for helping me by coming up with the title for this story!

Love- Manage Stories's Second Chance

Chapter one

Emily Prentiss stood at the baggage claim in the airport in London and waited anxiously for her family's plane to land and for them to make their way to her! All of a sudden, she felt something plow into her legs with a powerful force. She looked down and broke into a big grin.

"Hey Sweetheart!", She said. Hugging her around the legs was 5 year old Marianna Rose Reid.

"Auntie Em!" Said the little girl excitedly as Emily scooped her up. Another voice spoke up.

"Rosebud, You were supposed to wait for Daddy! Hi Emily I hope she didn't hurt you plowing into you like that!"

Emily chuckled. "Not a bit!" Emily pulled Reid into a hug, before adding, "It's great to see you guys!" The rest of the team had joined them by now along with family members. Emily hugged her friends and Jack and Henry then they all made their way to get their bags.

Emily was on vacation for two weeks and so was the A team of the BAU so she had invited the whole team and their families to spend the Vacation in London at her Mother's huge England estate. Her mother would be out of the country during this time so it would work out perfectly.

After everyone had gathered their luggage, Emily led them out to the cars. Emily would be driving hers and her mother had lent them her car and driver for the week as well. Reid, Mari, Morgan and Garcia got into Emily's SUV and the rest of the crew piled into the estate limo with the driver.

When they got back to the Estate, The room assignments were given.

"Mom," Said 9 -year- old Henry, "can Jack stay in my room with me?"

"No way, young man." said JJ ,sternly, "This is going to be a busy two weeks and you both need your rest at night to have the energy for running around in the day. That won't happen if you guys are in the same room. You would be up all night!"

"Aww, man!" Said 12- year- old Jack. Henry gave a little pout.

It was decided that each family or couple in the group would have a suite together and Morgan and Rossi would share a suite as would Emily and Garcia.

"Emily, thanks for including me and Alex in this vacation." Said Alex's Husband, James Blake,"I know you have gotten to know Alex when you've come back to Virginia for visits over the years but you have only met me a couple of times."

Emily smiled. " No problem, James. I've been looking forward to this. I know we'll all have a great time together."

"I'm hungry!" announced Mari rather loudly.

Reid admonished her about her manners but everyone agreed that they were hungry too. Emily suggested they all get ready and go out to eat. She knew several good restaurants. They all dressed up a little nicer and then headed out.

When they got back, it was getting late and Mari was getting cranky.

"Ok, Rosebud," Said Reid, "bedtime."

"I don't wanna!" said Mari with a pout.

" Mari -Rose," said JJ, "How about you get ready for bed and I'll time you. Show me how fast you can get your jammies on."

Mari was intrigued. She watched JJ set her watch and then took off running. Reid went with her since she didn't actually know where her jammies were. She put them on with very little help and ran back to JJ.

"How did I do," She asked.

"4 minutes and 45 seconds. Not bad, little one. Now can you show me how fast you can get in there and brush your teeth and wash your face?"

Mari nodded and ran off in the direction of the bathroom in the suite she was staying in. Reid helped her brush her teeth and then gave her a rag to wash her face with. After she was finished, she ran back to JJ.

"6 minutes." Said JJ, smiling at her, "Very good for doing two things."

Mari beamed and then went over to her Godfather. "Uncle Derek, would you read me a story?"

Morgan smiled at her. "Sure, Princess. Tell everyone here goodnight and pick out a story and I'll be up in a sec." Mari went to do as she was told,hugging each of her "aunts" and "uncles" and "cousins" in turn, and then ran to her room to find her books.

A few minutes later Morgan came in, and Mari handed him "Froggy goes to camp". He read it to her and also "Madeline goes to London". Emily had given her that one for her last birthday and Reid had packed it for her since they were in London for vacation. After he read that one, he kissed Mari goodnight and traded places with Reid who sang her "My Wild Irish Rose". After he finished singing,he looked down and realized his daughter was already asleep. He leaned over and kissed her head and said, "Daddy loves you, little Rosebud." He then left the room and went back to join the rest of the group.

When he got back, everyone was discussing the plans for this vacation. The women were going shopping the next day and Rossi and Hotch were going on a tour of Scotland Yard. Morgan and Will were going to take Jack and Henry to see Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guards and James was going to go with them.

" Spencer, ya wanna bring Mari and come with us," asked Will.

"Sure." said Reid with a smile, "She'd like that and I think I would find it enjoyable too."

The boys eventually went to bed and after that the adults stayed up a little longer talking before they too decided to hit the hay. They all fell asleep dreaming about all they would do the next two weeks in London. None of them could know then that the agenda would include danger.
