Lacy here with the final Aaron and Emily story until the new season. Wow, that actually hurt to write. I promise the series is not ending. I would never do that to you guys. I have one major thing to say about the episode. I hate the words TO BE CONTINUED. I checked, this is the first time in CM history that those words have popped up on our screens. Damn writers. Oh but anyone else notice Hotch watching Emily during the episode? And who besides myself, Katie and Crys squealed at Hotch and Emily riding together in the SUV? Yeah thought so. Got no real summary for ya so have...nope not working.

One more thing, who can never watch Tim Curry again after this?

Bethany is 21 weeks. Just over five months.

Disclaimer: I'm evil, I have a warped mind but damn I'm no where near as bad as the writers.

Austin leaned against the wall outside the bullpen and took a deep breath.

"You ok Austin?" JJ asked.

Austin nodded. "Yeah, just drank my coffee on an empty stomach."

JJ winced. "Yup, been there. Drink some water when we get in the conference room, that should help."

Austin pushed off the wall. "Thanks JJ."

The two headed into the bullpen and up to the conference room.

Emily and Hotch watched Morgan lead the detective out of the room.

"So this is just to get to Detective Spicer?" Austin commented. "That's just,"

Emily let out a sigh as Austin stopped herself and looked at Hotch. It was twisted, as Austin was about to say but they knew unsubs did it. Foyet was their prime example.

Hotch looked at Austin. "Don't worry Austin, you don't have to avoid saying Foyet's name."

Austin smiled slightly. "Sorry Hotch."

Hotch nodded and Emily placed her hand on his leg as Austin suddenly quickly left the room.

Emily frowned. "That's the third time she's darted out of here."

Hotch followed where Austin had gone. He'd noticed her rapid disappearances as well.

"This is all still pretty new to her." Hotch said. "That could be it."

Emily nodded but her frown stayed in place.

Emily dropped her cell as she lost service. "Now what?"

"Now we find the fastest way out of this." Hotch said, glancing at the traffic. "If there is one."

Emily leaned her head back against the seat. "And I thought D.C. had bad traffic."

Hotch chuckled lightly and nodded.

Reid leaned against the wall outside the ladies room, waiting for Austin. She'd darted in there again for the fifth time that day and he was getting concerned. He thought back over the last few days. It had been at least four days since the constant runs to the bathroom had started and she'd been more tired then normal. Reid's eyes widened as Austin stepped out of the bathroom.

"Austin," Reid said. Austin spun to face him. "is there something you need to tell me?"

Austin's face paled as her hands fell to her stomach.

NO KILLING ME! This is the last A&E story until the new season and because of how the episode ended the snapshots are on hold as well. Sorry! Not long, I know but I wasn't aiming for it to be. Let me know what you think, flame policy stands and thanks for reading.
