This whole idea came to me this weekend and I just couldn't rid of it, so I decided to write it down, even though I don't have time for writing fanfiction, especially not a multi-chaptered story, but I felt that I had to give it a shot, otherwise I would never get the idea out of my head.
Also, I wrote this on my crappy home laptop, that doesn't have a real writing program to write in, which means that it doesn't check the grammar or spelling etc, so if there is any mistakes, I apologize.

Disclaimer: I don't own Criminal Minds or any of its characters.

October 2014

Two years, it had been almost two years since she'd been here, standing in this very backyard. Two years, in some ways it felt like it was a whole eternity ago, while in others, it felt like it was just yesterday. It had been a beautiful night, just like it was now, and it had been a beautiful wedding. Just like tonight's wedding was most likely going to be.

The yard was still quiet and blissful, though all the guests hadn't arrived yet, and those who had were still inside. Emily had just gone outside to get some fresh air, and to collect her thoughts. She was happy to see her old team again, because they were more like a family after all, though Emily had worried that they wouldn't feel like a family anymore, but she hadn't needed to worry, all of them had been happy to have her back. Espceially Penelope Garcia, but of course, she was the bride and she wanted to have all of her friends' at her wedding...

Suddenly she heard steps behind her...

"You ok?" A familiar voice asked and a pair of strong arms sneaked around her waist. Emily sighed and turned around to face her wedding date.

"Yeah... I just wanted some fresh air." He nodded and looked up at the clear sky.

"It's a clear sky." He said with the British accent. Emily shrugged.

"We should probably get back inside..." She said and started to walk towards the house, she didn't need to turn around to see that he was following her.

Emily stepped into the house just in time to see a man and a woman walk through the front door. The woman had mocha colored skin and long dark hair and a curvy figure, though it was nothing familiar about her. The man though, she recognized at first sight. She would probably recognize him anywhere, at anytime. But how could she not? She had spent five years with him, five years trusting him in the field and having his back and that's not just something you forget, no matter how far away you are from each other.

"Emily..."

She looked up and met his eyes, his darkbrown eyes that she recognized so well. She forced a smile.

"Hi..."

"I dind't know you would be here." he said slowly.

"Well... I got an invitation so..." He just nodded slowly and an awkward silence laid between them, which made Emily uncomfortable and frankly it seemded to make him uncomfortable as well. Then a low throath cleraing could be heard.

"Oh... this is Savannah." Derek finally presented the woman beside him. Emily swallowed and forced a smile.

"Emily Prentiss. Derek and I used to work together..." she said and shook hand with the woman.

"Oh... That's what I thought..." she said slowly, smiling at Emily, who just nodded. Then she felt how someone appeared beside her and she could feel Dereks eyes on her, and she could see that he definitley recognized the man beside her.

"Ah, Agent Morgan, right?" Mick said and held out a hand. Derek thre one last glance at Emily before he shook Mick's hand.

"That's right. And you are Mick, right?" Mick nodded and flashed a smile. Then Derek presentaded him for Savannah, and before they knew it, all the other guests' had arrived and the wedding began for real.

The ceremony was beautiful, and it made Emily focus on something else than the one and only Derek Morgan, and the thoughts on their rather complicated past. The past that didn't involve the BAU, the past that no one but them knew about, the past that she had tried to forget about, but it was a task that she had failed miserably with.

The nigth moved on, from the ceremony, to the food and the cake and speeches from different people. Everyone had smiles on theri faces and everyone laughed and enjoyed themselves.

Emily sat at the table in the huge backyard and looked out over the dance floor, she saw how Kevin and Garcia danced closley and Emily couldn't help but smile at how in love they looked, they only had eyes for each ohter. But she guessed that was how it felt to be in love with someone. She saw how all the other couples danced too, Will & JJ, Hotch & Beth and Rossi & Strauss, altough that was a strange sight to see. And then it was the couple that she hadn't let go of with her eyes the whole night. She saw how Derek swung Savannah around and how she laughed and turned around to kiss him.

The sight of it made Emily's heart broke, she couldn't help it adn she hated it and crused herself for it. Because she had no right to be jealous, yet she was. And she hated it, because she wasn't the kind of woman who wept over men, not even Derek Morgan. Still she had been sitting here all night weeping and brooding over the past, instead of celebrating and enjoying the night with her friends.

"Hey, you okay?" Mick asked and sat down beside her, which pulled Emily out of her thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm fine." she muttered, wondering why he just couldn't leave her alone, beacuse you invited him with you, smart-head, she thought for herself.

"Yeah? It doesn't look like that. You've been staring at Morgan and his girlfriend all night." he muttered harshly. Emily stared at him.

"I haven't been..." she tried to deny it, but deep down she knew he was right.

"Don't you dare lie to me Emily Prentiss. I know what I see." Emily swallowed.

"I got a call from Cooper, he needs me for something, it couldn't wait." Mick said with a hard voice.

"Okay..." was all Emilly could answer. Mick raised his eyebrowns.

"Okay? That's all you have to say? Okay?" he almost shouted.

"I..." Emily started, but he interrupted her and shook his head.

"Forget it Emily. I have been trying to give you time, these last months, thougth you were still just adjusting to your life in London, but that's not what it is, is it? You obviously can't move on and stop living in the past." he stared her right into her eyes and she could see that she confirmed everything he said, just with ehr eyes.

"Mick..." she tried again, she wanted to fix it, she wanted to tell him that it wasn't true, but she knew he wouldn't believe her, beacuse he knew it was all lies and even if she din't want to admit it, she knew it too, somewhere deep down, she knew she was just lying to herself.

"Don't. I'll just go and maybe when I get back you have fixed whatever is going on." he said before he walked away. Emily just stared after him. Then she sighed.

"Hey... You okay? I saw that Rawson left... He didn't hurt you, did he?"

Emily looked up and shook her head. It was almost pathetic, Mick ran away and seconds after the man she had tried to avoid all night showed up.

"I'm fine. Where's Savannah? Shouldn't you be with her instead of worrying over me?" Emily muttered, she knew sha was being unfair, Derek hadn't did anything wron, but right now she just didn't feel like even seeing him, or anyone else for that matter.

"She got a call from the hospital, an emergency. And Emily, you're my friend, I care and worry about you, that's what friends do." he said, looking at her.

"Yeah I know... And I'm sorry. I'm tired, it has just been a long night." she half smiled at him.

"Too bad, I had been hoping to get you out on the dance floor." He said and grined. Emily chuckled.

"Well... I guess I can stay awake for one dance... Otherwise you'll have to carry med to bed." she joked. He laughed and EMily realized just how much she had missed that laugh.

"Oh don't worry Princess, I've strong arms." I know, Emily thought.

"May I?" he askd and held out his hand. Emily nodded and grasped his hand and they moved out on the dance floor.

Derek slowly opened his eyes and groadned as he felt the hangover taking over his head adn body, he didn't want to move. But he let his eyes roam over the female body beside him, seeing her naked form, her raven hair curled out on the pillow. Then the memories from last night washed over him and he realized who was laying in the bed next to him.

"Oh crap." he muttered.

I'm sorry if it was a bit messy, but the second chapter will be better, I hope.
