Emily Prentiss walked through the glass doors of the BAU extra early on a Monday morning and walked towards her desk. On her way she looked up at Hotch's office and smiled. It didn't matter how early she got to work he was always there before her.

She quickly got settled at her desk, taking out some of the neglected files she had brought home that weekend but didn't bother to do. By the time the other members of the team began arriving Emily was busy working away.

Rossi arrived first and said hello as he passed her desk on the way to his office.

Ten minutes later Emily heard Morgan and Spencer arrive together. As they approached their desks next to hers she discovered that they were talking about some sports game. They said hello to her and continued on to the break room to get some coffee.

JJ came in ten minutes late, quickly walking past Emily's desk on the way to Hotch's office saying something about Henry being sick from too much birthday cake. Before Emily could respond she was gone.

She nervously surveyed the office around her. Everyone was busy talking to other coworkers and getting ready to start their day. No one seemed to notice anything different about her.

She let of a sigh of relief. She didn't know why she was so nervous all of the sudden. She had been doing this for almost four months and nobody suspected a thing. The best profilers in the world had no idea what was going on so why would they suddenly all know?

Maybe it was because of her strange behavior and Henry's 1st birthday party. Emily knew she wasn't acting like herself but she couldn't help it, it was him.

He made her melt into a puddle by his feet. He could make her do anything he wanted and his voice made her weak in the knees.

On Friday JJ had told her teammates that she was having a party for Henry on Saturday and they were all invited. The next day Emily had finished her Saturday errands early so she decided to go to JJ's house early. When she arrived there were a few of JJ's family members and most of the team already there. Guess she wasn't as early as she thought.

She put down the present she brought and placed it on the table next to the others before she grabbed a beer from the fridge and walked outside to see everyone.

She surveyed the back yard. Hotch had brought Jack over early so him and Henry could play longer. Haley was talking with Garcia and JJ near the kids. Will was talking to JJ's mother and Hotch, Derek and Spencer were sitting down with a few beers watching the kids from a distance. Emily couldn't see Rossi but she knew he wasn't far.

When everyone saw her Emily heard lots of hi's and hellos coming from all directions. JJ walked over to her and hugged her.

"I'm glad you came." JJ said smiling at her best friend.

"Of course I came! Why wouldn't I?" Emily asked.

"I know things have been a little weird between you and –" JJ started before Emily cut her off by saying.

"JJ lets not talk about that right now. Today isn't about me." She said smiling at JJ.

"Ok." JJ said giving up on trying to get any information out of Emily. "Come over with me and talk to the girls."

"I'll be over in a minute I just want to say hi to the team and your mother first."

JJ nodded as they went their separate ways.

Emily went over to the boys and said hi and easily fell into the conversation. They talked about meaningless things and soon Will and JJ's mother approached them. Emily hugged JJ's mother and smiled at Will and the group continued to talk.

After a while Emily excused herself to get another beer.

As she walked away she could feel his eyes on her and it made her legs feel like jello.

When she got to the kitchen she could hear quick footsteps approaching her. She turned towards the footsteps and saw him in the doorway staring at her. Her heart started to beat a little faster as he slowly walked towards her.

When he got close enough he pulled her to him by the waist into a passionate kiss. Heat ran threw Emily's body quickly, completely overwhelming her. She moaned into the kiss and leaned on the counter, not trusting her legs to keep her up.

Emily broke the kiss and looked into his eyes. His deep breathing matched hers and she could see nothing but lust in his eyes.

"We need to talk." He said in his deep voice that always seemed to make her melt. "Now."

Emily nodded quickly still trying to recover from the kiss. He grabbed her arm and pulled her upstairs and into one of the dark guest rooms.

He closed the door and grabbed Emily by the waist again and pressed her against him. She moaned when she felt his hardness against her. This seemed to get him going because he pushed her hard against the nearest wall causing her to gasp as he started kissing her neck frantically.

She moaned and started grinding herself on him, desperately needing some friction. They both forgot where they were.

Emily started unbuttoning his pants and he did the same to her. His pants fell around his ankles and Emily's hand immediately went to stroke him through his boxers causing him to moan loudly.

It wasn't until they heard footsteps that they stopped what they were doing.

They stayed perfectly still, Emily's hand still on his covered erection and his still on the button of her dark jeans. They tried to control their breathing as best they could and both let out a sigh of relief when they heard the bathroom door close and lock.

"What the hell are we doing?" Emily whispered still trying to catch her breath.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen, I really do need to talk to you but I got distracted because you're so damn sexy." He whispered looking at her with lust in his eyes.

He kissed her quickly before moving away slightly so he could pull up his pants and button them again. Emily buttoned her pants again and waited for him to say something.

Finally he said "I don't think I can do this anymore." Even though the room was dark Emily could see the sadness in his eyes.

"What?" She asked him surprised. "Was it something I did?"

"No, no don't ever think that baby. You're perfect like always."

Emily was glad it was dark as she blushed. "Then what's wrong? I thought things between us were going good."

"Things between us are great it's my family that's the problem. My wife is starting to notice that I'm staying late at work and not coming home and it's starting to affect our marriage. It wouldn't matter if we got divorced before but now we have a son."

"I know." Emily agreed sadly.

"Even people at work are noticing. You and I work around some very smart people and I'm impressed we got away with this for so long but I think we need to end it before someone finds out."

"I knew this day would come. Do you really think we can just stop?" Emily asked.

"I don't know but we have to try." He took her hands and looked into her eyes. "Emily I can't lose my family, I almost did and I never want to go through that again. Please understand."

"Of course I understand but that doesn't mean I like it. But I also don't want to break up a family for my own selfish reasons." Emily sighed. "It was nice while it lasted." She said offering him a sad smile.

"It was awesome. You're fucking hot." He said laughing breathlessly.

"You're so romantic it hurts sometimes." She sighed looking up at him.

"We better get back to the party before someone notices we're gone."

Emily nodded. "Goodbye." She whispered kissing him quickly before leaving.

She knew it wasn't really goodbye because she would be seeing him downstairs at the party in a few minutes but it was goodbye to four months of passion between them. She knew it was time to end things but it still sucked.

Emily returned to the backyard and went over to talk with JJ and her mother as if nothing happened. A few minutes later out of the corner of her eye she saw him come from the house and go over to the guys.

The party ended a few hours later and everyone had a good time especially the kids. There was a sea of presents and a huge cake that JJ and Garcia had made after work the day before.

People left slowly and soon it was just Garcia and Emily left. The three girls cleaned up a bit and then sat around the kitchen table with a glass of wine each.

"That was a great party. I think Henry had fun today." Emily said as they sat down.

"Did you see how much cake he ate?" Garcia laughed causing JJ and Emily to laugh to.

"I hope he doesn't get sick and hopefully he's not to high on sugar to sleep tonight. Will and I both need to sleep." JJ said.

"Yeah it's been a long day for both of you. But enough about Henry, lets get to the gossiping." Garcia said excitedly.

The three women smiled at each other and started to gossip like a bunch of teenagers.
