Penelope couldn't believe what she was seeing. She closed her eyes and then opened them again because she was so sure that her eyes were playing tricks on her. After all she didn't understand how her dead friend could be standing not even ten feet away from her. When she looked at the spot where she had saw Emily her eyes widened in shock as she realized that Emily really really was standing there.

As she looked Emily up and down she could tell that her one time friend had changed in the last couple of months. As she stared into Emily's eyes she saw all of Emily's feeling in them. She saw the fear, the pain, the sorrow and the shadows and she knew then that no matter how she felt about being lied to that she would do whatever she could to take that look out of Emily's eyes.

She knew without being told that the reason Emily let her and the rest of the team think she was dead was because it was her way of protecting them. Without saying a word she walked over to Emily and pulled her into her arms and gave her a tight hug. She could feel that Emily was shaking and she rubbed her hand up and down Emily's back even as tears filled her own eyes. She turned her head to look at everyone else and saw that everyone but Hotch and JJ were shocked at seeing Emily alive. Her eyes narrowed but she decided that she would late til later to voice her suspicions. Right now she wanted no she needed to hug Emily so that she knew for sure that Emily was really alive and that it wasn't a figment of her imagination.

Spencer raised his head up when he heard Penelope's exclamation and his head turned and he gasped when he saw Emily. He couldn't believe that she was here and that she was real. He had felt so lost since she had died months ago because he never got the chance to say goodbye to her. As he looked at her he took in a breath and realized that for once it didn't hurt to breathe.

He studied Emily as she just stood rooted to her spot and saw everything that he had never hoped to see. He saw that she had lost a lot of weight and that she hasn't been sleeping. He saw that she was pale and she looked like she could just pass out at any second. His eyes also took in the bruises around her throat and he felt rage boil inside of him. He wanted to know who dared to touch the woman who was like a sister but more of a mother to him. He wanted to know what had put that look of fear in her eyes.

When he saw Penelope hug Emily he realized that while he was standing there staring at her that Emily had begun crying. He wanted to know why Emily had left as she had but he knew that he could guess why. He had no doubt that she had thought she was protecting him and everyone else by leaving and letting them think that she died. He vowed to himself that he would do whatever he could and had to in order to make her see that while he had been hurt that she let him think she was dead that he still loved her and he would be there for her.

Without even thinking about it he walked over to where Penelope was still hugging Emily and he walked up and placed his arms around Emily from behind and pressed a kiss to her head. When he felt her shake he knew that she was crying even more. He kept one arm around her and brought the other one up and rubbed it up and down her arm. He was happier than he had been since her ''death'' and he wanted to make sure that she knew without a doubt that he still loved her and was happy to see her again. He couldn't help but wonder what had brought her back. He silently promised himself that if she needed help he would help her do whatever it is she needed.

Derek's eyes were opened wide and his mouth was dropped open in shock. Standing in front of him was his Princess and he couldn't believe it. He had been so sure that he would never see her again since he saw her last. Even though he had been told that she was dead he had known that she wasn't. He only knew that because Emily had called him before she disappeared because she didn't want him blaming himself for her dying.

He had felt rage because there was nothing he could do or say that would change her mind about leaving but he also knew that Emily had to do it. When he saw his Baby Girl and Spencer both hugging Emily he couldn't help but smile. He had seen all the bruises on Emily and he figured that she had come here because things with Doyle were heating up. He was just glad that she chose to come to him and the rest of the team for help because it was clear that Doyle was catching up to her.

When he looked at Hotch he gave a nod of his head and then walked over to where the small group was and placed an arm around Penelope and one hand on Emily's shoulder and squeezed it lovingly. He bent his head a pressed a kiss to her forehead and murmured in her ear sweet things to try to calm her down. He wanted to know what had happened to her but he also knew that she wouldn't be in a fit state to talk until she got all of the tears out of her system.

JJ felt as if her heart was in her throat as she stared at the woman she had always hoped she would see again. She took in Emily's appearance and saw that her old friend was barely surviving from the looks of it. She felt her heart break when she saw the pain in Emily's face and then the tears that fell down her face when she was enveloped into a hug by Penelope.

She wanted to shout her joy at seeing Emily again but she knew that now wasn't the time. She watched as both Spencer and Penelope tried comforting Emily and she felt her heart break even more as tears fell faster down Emily's face. She saw the look that Derek gave Hotch and she knew then and there that Derek had known all along that Emily was alive. She wondered why that was but she figured she would find out later.

With tears in her own eyes she walked over to the group and was soon pulled in to the impromptu group hug.

Dave had always suspected that Emily was alive and not dead as they were all told but he figured that he would keep his suspicions to himself because if they were told she was dead there was a reason for it. As his heart swelled with love he realized just how much he had missed Emily. He admitted to himself that he had loved Emily like a daughter and when he lost her he felt as if he lost part of himself.

He looked over at Aaron and smiled slightly at the look in his best friend's eyes. He knew then that everything would be okay because what he saw in Aaron's eyes reassured him that the other man wouldn't let Emily up and leave again. He patted Aaron's shoulder and then walked over and wrapped one arm around JJ and his other arm around Emily's waist even as he brushed a kiss upon her cheek.

He smiled slightly as he realized that their family was complete once more. The smile on his face was genuine as was the hard look in his eyes when he got a good look at Emily. He knew then that this thing with Doyle wasn't over yet but he also knew that he would do what he could to protect Emily from getting hurt even further.

Hotch felt as if his heart had just been pieced back together as he stared at Emily. He caught her eye when she looked over Penelope's shoulder at him and he couldn't help but smile at her. For the last couple of months he had been looking for ways to be able to help her with Doyle and now that she was here he could help her and he would help her.

Before she had been surrounded by their family he had seen all the bruises on her and the rage boiled up in him. He wasn't going to let Doyle or anyone get away with hurting the woman he has been in love with for several years even if he never told her. He closed his eyes as he felt tears burning his eyes and then he opened them up once he was sure they were gone. He wasn't going to cry just yet. He wasn't going to cry until he had Emily in his arms and only his arms.

He was glad that she was still alive. He was glad that she was here. As he looked at her surrounded by Penelope, Spencer, JJ, Dave and Derek he smiled because their family was finally complete once more. Now the team could finally heal completely. Now the team could finally do everything and anything they could in order to make sure Emily never left them again.

He slowly walked forward and then around to where Spencer was. He gently pushed Spencer to the side a little and slipped his arms around Emily's waist and kissed her on the top of her head. He breathed out a sigh of relief at the light feeling in his heart now that he had the woman he loved back where she belonged. He looked at each of his team members and gave them smiles as he realized just how happy they all were to see Emily alive.
