Summary: Two months after saving JJ and returning to London, Emily decides that it is time to come back to the BAU. She can't fight against her feelings anymore.

That was it. She felt the urge to come back to her very comfortable bed and sleep, leave those damn bags she just started packing and sleep for several hours and forget about the world. But she knew she couldn't. She had already made her decision. She sighed. Why it had to be so hard to come home? Was that still home anyway?

She knew why it was being so hard to pack up and go to the airport. Not because she would miss London; she would but not so intentionally. She had made some friends there for sure, and even had some lovers but nothing that would make her stay.

But she knew that the moment she entered in that plane everything would change. She would be returning to her old life, her old friends and all those endlessly cases and stuff. But, above all, she would have to see the reason that made her go the last time.

Jennifer Jareau. The beautiful blue-eyed blonde media liaison. The girl that have been in her dreams since the first time she saw her. She knew it from the start that she couldn't have her but she would do it all to protect her and the people she cared about, which meant also her husband.

Husband. Emily took a time to remember that day. The day that JJ had married Will. She was right there pretending to be happy for her friend when all she really wanted to do was cry the entire night and drink all she could; to forget what just had happened.

That was definitely the reason that made her choose London over Virginia. Interpol over BAU. She needed to leave that place. She couldn't be there anymore. She knew that it would hurt so bad to leave her friends and JJ but she just couldn't be there and pretend anymore. So she went to London and started a new life.

She had an amazing job, she had her own team and even a couple of friends that really made her laugh and feel ok but nothing compared as the way her old friends made her feel.

She slept with girls. Beautiful blonde girls but none of them could make she feel what JJ used to do with only a look directed to her.

Then she received a call from Hotch and discovered that JJ had been kidnapped. She just dropped everything and went back to Virginia to save her friend. She couldn't even think straight. She needed to save JJ.

And she did.

Just to leave her again. They were at a bar drinking some beers some hours later before she go and there was him. Will LaMontagne. Holding the girl that she has saved. JJ met her gaze and she stopped breathing for seconds before turn her head away.

JJ was so happy to see her friend there. She couldn't believe that Emily went back to Virginia to save her. All she really wanted was be alone with Emily so they could talk and she could hug her friend properly and refuse to let her go.

But Emily is gone and things went back to how they used to be.

Emily sat on the waiting area of the airport holding her passport and her cell phone. She had to call someone before she goes.

"Hotchner," Aaron Hotchner picked up the phone without even bothering to check who was calling him.

"Hey," Emily said softly. "Just called to say I'm on my way"

Hotch rose from his chair to close the door of his office to give him some privacy. He was expecting this call from Emily, but never thought it would be so fast. "So you're really coming back," it wasn't a question. He just wanted to put that thing inside his head.

"If you don't mind, yes," she said humorously. She could feel his rare smile showing up.

"Well…" he tried to joke. She laughed. "Of course I do not mind, Emily. I'm honestly happy to know that you're coming back to us and hopefully to stay for real this time."

Emily sighed.

"I will, I promise." She said after a briefly pause. "Just make sure that anyone knows a thing about me coming back ok?"

"Not even JJ?" He asked casually because he knew the two women were very close friends. Unfortunately he didn't know that, since the last time they saw each other, they haven't spoke. Emily tried to avoid JJ with all the ways she could. She stopped to pick up her calls and even the Online Scrabble wasn't their thing anymore. She tried so hard to forget about JJ but that was ridiculous and she knew it.

"Not even JJ." She confirmed just to know that her flight was ready to leave.

They said their good-byes and Emily headed to the airplane.

Now it was for sure.

It was 9pm when JJ made her way to the parking lot to get her car and head home. She was so tired; there were just a lot going on with all those cases she'd had to read and still, she needed to be ok because there were a little boy waiting for her in home.

When she entered in her house she found Henry's nanny in the living room watching something on Discovered Chanel. She smiled when she saw JJ and gestured to Henry's bedroom.

JJ returned the smile e and left her bag on the floor, putting her badge on the table and her gun on the safe spot. She headed to Henry's room to find the little boy sleeping peacefully on his bed. She sat down and leaned to kiss his forehead. The boy grabbed his mommy's hand and squeezed.

"Mommy?" he asked still sleepy. JJ smile and gave the boy another softy kiss.

"Yes baby, come back to sleep." She said stroking the boy's hair.

Henry yawned and slowly opened his eyes.

"Can I see daddy tomorrow?" He asked innocently looking at his mom with those deep blue eyes.

JJ struggled when she heard the boy mentioning Will. 2 months since the divorce and Henry was still confused with everything, which was totally understandable. It was hard for JJ to see Will because she knew he would try to apologize about everything and try to get back together.

But that was not going to happen. She actually couldn't believe that they were finally divorced. She was feeling so good. She was feeling free. But there was Henry.

"I'm sorry sweetie, but you know that your daddy is too far away from here now but you can see him on the weekend ok?" she suggested still stroking Henry's blonde hair.

The boy nodded and left another yawn escape from his mouth. He turned his head so he could go back to sleep. JJ gave him one last kiss and went to the kitchen to find her something to eat.

Emily slept for so long that she thought she went straight to a coma stage. She woke up at 8am and stood up so she could take a shower. She had finally arrived in her condo and she had definitely missed that place.

She tried to keep her mind wrapped on random things even though she was failing miserable. She was just about to go to the BAU. She would be doing a little surprise to the team as Hotch had proposed.

As she parked her car on the parking lot she just leaned her head so her forehead was touching the wheel. What the hell are you doing, Prentiss? She sighed. She will be there. Oh my God. She will be there.

She got out of the car and headed to the elevators. She was obviously nervous. She couldn't even try to hide it. She just couldn't stop thinking about JJ and how close they were now. What should she say?
