She told him to keep his old phone for emergencies. She also knows how paranoid he is. Emily called the number that the agent working for witness protection gave her. She waits with baited breath as she hears it ring once… twice… After the third ring, she hears,
"Hello?" It's him, cool and collected as always.
"Aaron," Emily paused for a moment. "We got him."
"Are you sure?" He's hesitant to accept this news.
"Check your texts," she waits as he does.
She hears him let out a sigh of relief, "It's over?"
She blinks back tears, saying, "Yes, Aaron. You can come home."
Aaron starts crying and calls for Jack. Jack hugs his dad and asks, "What's wrong, dad?"
"We're going home, buddy." Jack is heard cheering in the background. Aaron comes back to the phone.
"I'll call you when we land in Dulles,"
Four hours later, Emily is sitting in the lobby of the airport. Jessica and Sean are both with her. They are going to take Jack for the night and Emily will be taking Aaron to surprise the team at Rossi's house.
A scream pulls Emily out of her daydream.
"Emmy!" Jack screams and runs to her. She hugs him while Aaron hugs his brother and sister-in-law. After a minute, Jack lets go to hug Jessica and Sean while Aaron talks to Emily.
"Aaron," Emily starts, "Welcome home."
She hands him a small white box. He opens it and gasps.
"Really? Are you sure?" He says this as he drops the box on the ground.
Emily nods as she is lifted off the ground. Aaron spins her around and kisses her gently. As he sets her down on the floor, he picks up the sonogram and box. He then gets down on one knee and asks,
"Emily Prentiss, will you marry me?"
"Absolutely yes! I love you, Aaron Hotchner!"
They kiss as Aaron places the beautiful diamond ring on Emily's finger. They hug one more time before Emily pulls away.
"Aaron, I know that you want to celebrate, but I feel like the team needs to know first."
"Well, let's go tell them." Aaron leads his family out of the airport. Emily leads Aaron to their car while Jack goes with Sean and Jessica.
As Aaron drives up to Rossi's house and parks, he is only thinking about one thing:
"I'm home."
THE END!
