Thank you so much for reading!


The flawless skin of her face was filled of tears rolling down her cheeks. This feeling was destroying her. It felt awful inside.

She was lying on her hotel room's bed, still wearing that beautiful beige dress which she had wore at the wedding.

Aaron and Beth's wedding…

'I do' He answered smiling at his bride.

Those torturing words were haunting her, killing her slowly and painfully.

Emily rolled over her side and she bent her knees, like looking for comfort… she felt so alone and small.

She cleaned up the tears with the soft back of her hand over and over, but it was useless, they came back as soon as they were gone.

The woman closed her eyes and let her mind fly away to that night… that very night which she had shared with him, the man of her dreams, with Aaron.

Of course it didn't mean too much for him, he had discussed with Beth and he had gone to see Emily, his best friend… they drank some alcohol and well, happened things that shouldn't have.

On the other hand, Emily was pretty grateful for that night, it had been the most perfect night of her life, even though it had been a mistake, she would never regret about it, ever.

That had happened two months ago now, and after that night, she had decided to accept Clyde's offer to head Interpol's office, that was the opportunity she had been waiting for to run away from those feelings that she shouldn't have for her boss, and friend.

So she had left, trying to leave behind all the love, the pain, and the memories. Kind of difficult and impossible, but that was her last chance for a new beginning.

However, despite of all that effort, it had failed when she found out that… she was pregnant. She wasn't pretty sure whether that was good or a bad news, due to the child's father was getting married soon and its mother was living kilometers away from him.

It sucked, honestly.

But… that's was how things were. And at least, she was happy because she had this gift from that night she would always remember… Furthermore, being a mother had always been her dream.

Emily was sure she could make it work by herself; she was totally capable. And even though she was madly in love with him, and going against all her principles, she couldn't tell him anything about this situation. This baby would destroy his life, his happy life, and that was the only thing she didn't want to. So she would keep the secret to herself and pretend that nothing was going on. Moreover, she wasn't coming back, and maybe she would never see him again.

But of course it didn't happen. They were best friends and she absolutely had to come back to Virginia to attend his wedding, which meant to face him and the fact of losing him forever.

But wait, she wasn't losing him. How could she lose somebody that never had been hers? That was the ugly truth.

As she sat on the bed, Emily took a tissue from the packet that was onto the nightstand and blew her nose. She felt terrible, she wasn't only suffering because of Aaron's marriage, but also she was pregnant and had a cold. Life wasn't pretty nice for her at those times.

She sighed. She needed to feel better in some way, she wanted a cigarette, even though she didn't smoke usually, however, she wanted one right now and also a glass of wine to relax herself… but there was no way she would damage her baby. Of course she would never do that.

She smiled sadly and went to get a glass of water from the fridge.

As she drank the water, she heard the knock on her room's door.

Emily didn't want to see anybody at that very moment, didn't want questions, interrogations, nor giving explanations.

But what the hell. She left the glass over the small fitment and went to open the door.

"JJ" she whispered to the blond in front of her.

"Emily, are you okay?" she asked as she saw how she looked

Emily nodded.

"May I come in?" Jennifer asked frowning

"Of course" Said Emily with resignation. She stepped back and let her friend to come in into her room.

"Why did you leave the wedding reception that soon? Are you alright? And why were you crying, Em?" she asked as Emily closed the door.

The brunette scratched softly her neck. That was exactly what she didn't want; the questions… and the answers.

"I'm a little tired" she answered shrugging.

"Well… I've been a profiler since long time ago and you are not fooling me, you know?" JJ assured.

Prentiss bit her lip and walked to the bed to sit down on it. Jennifer followed her, and then held her hand in hers as she sat beside the brunette.

"Emily, you can tell me anything" she said honestly

"I know" Prentiss replied.

Emily had kind of a debate inside. She wasn't sure about telling anybody about her pregnancy, even though sooner or later it would be discovered in case somebody decided to visit her to London, and that was something very likely to happen.

However, being pregnant wasn't the problem. The child's father's issue did was. And that was the fact she had to omit and hide from very body, even from her best friend.

"I have a cold" she told her. JJ raised an eyebrow "And well, I'm pregnant" added Emily. This time JJ raised both of her eyebrows completely.

"What did you just say?" she asked confused

"I said that I'm pregnant and that I have a cold"

"Aye you pregnant?!" she repeated

The brunette sighed in resignation.

"Yes, I'm"

"May I ask who's the father?"

Prentiss shook her head as she heard the question.

"No, you can't"

"Why not? Do I know him?" she questioned shocked

"I don't think so… is some guy I knew in London you know… a one-night stand and…" She lied, shrugging.

That left JJ totally speechless. What the hell? Emily was pregnant with an unknown subject? No way, it could not be truth. Could it?

Jennifer knew her friend… and no, it couldn't be truth due to Emily was responsible enough to let something like that happen, she was a smart woman.

The blond woman scratched roughly her nape.

Emily looked at her hoping with all her heart for her to believe that twisted lie she had told her.

"Uh… well, Ok. Now, I want the truth" she said slowly, looking at her seriously

Emily rolled her eyes; she had no intention of retracting herself at all. So she insisted.

"I'm sorry I'm disappointing you, but that is the truth, sweetie"

"Are you fucking kidding me, Emily?" Jereau shuttered in disbelief.

Before answering, Emily took a deep breath; this wasn't going as easy as she would have liked it.

"No, JJ. I'm not kidding. That is the truth, I'm pregnant to somebody I have no idea who is, and that's all I can say to you" she whispered irritated.

"Are you having the child?"

"Ok. What the hell, JJ? Of course I'm! This could be my last chance, I'm getting old, you know? I'm not having an abortion as I did when I was 15, I already know how it feels… it's just…" she stopped talking as she felt a lump in her throat. She wanted everything but not crying again.

"I'm sorry, it's ok. I'm sorry I asked that" she apologized.

Emily shook her head slowly. She didn't want to keep talking.

"You should go back to the wedding reception"- she suggested softly.

She only wanted to be alone, sleep and then tomorrow go back to her daily life in London, in order to forget about Aaron, this situation and his wedding.

JJ understood what Emily was really saying. She wanted to be alone…

She sighed, she was getting quite worried for her friend… but for now she wouldn't do anything, she would leave her alone as she asked her to do and later they could talk better.

"Aaron asked me what was wrong with you and why did you leave all of a sudden" she said while she was making her way to the door, being followed by the brunette. "What do I tell to him?"

"Tell him that I wasn't feeling exactly as right as rain, that I have a cold, which is true, and that I'm really sorry for not saying good bye to him" she answered feeling guilty and miserable.

"Ok, I'll let him know" she told as she opened the door.

"JJ, may I ask something to you" Emily said, grabbing her arm to stop her

"Of course you can, Emily"

"Just… don't tell anybody about this… yet"

Jereau bit her lip. That wouldn't be an easy task to be done.

"Count on me" she said winking at her

"Thanks" she said smiling a little

JJ nodded and left, she wasn't able to say anything else… she was stunned. And of course, she was pretty sure that Emily was not telling her the whole truth, and she was determinate to find out what was really going on with her friend.
