6 Hours

"Emily, how much longer do we have you?" Hotch asks, a rare smile on his face. The dark haired agent looks at her watch.

"Uh, six hours." She says regrettably. She missed the team terribly and the team missed her right back. Skype just wasn't the same and Emily was finding it hard to leave. She just wanted to stay and enjoy their company forever, but that wouldn't pay the bills so in six hours she would be heading to the airport, but until then she'd enjoy the time with her family. They started at the bar but decided to head over to JJ and Wills so she could also see Henry and Hotch picked up Jack. They sat around talking about any and everything they could think of and when it came time for her to head back to her hotel, Derek offered to give her a ride and they all went their separate ways.

"Do you need a ride to the airport?" He asks as they pull into the parking lot of the hotel.

"Oh no, I can just call a cab." She frees herself from the seat-belt.

"I can take you, it's no problem." He can see her thinking about as she bites the inside of her cheek.

"Are you sure?" He nods. "Okay, I'll be quick." She says hoping out of the car and heading to her hotel room. She grabs her bags and checks out before heading back to Derek's truck. When Derek sees her coming he gets out to help her. He rushes over and takes one of the large bags thrown over her shoulder. "Thanks." Emily smiles and they walk to Derek's truck. They throw the bags into the back before they each get it.

"You should visit more." Derek says once he starts the car. "We miss you." Emily felt bad, she could hear the hurt in his voice.

"I miss you guys too, but it's hard to get away, especially right now since I'm just starting out. Maybe when I get some credibility under my belt I can take a few days off." The majority of the drive is silent, a comfortable silent, but there is the occasional conversation, or one shares a memory, but the closer they got to the airport, the more spaced out their words became, neither of them wanting to have to say goodbye. When Derek pulls up to the terminal Emily sighs. "So how much do I owe you?" She jokes and Derek chuckles. They both get out and Derek walks to the passenger side to help Emily lift the bags out of the truck. He hands the last one two her and she sets it on the ground next to her feet. "Thanks for the ride." She says before embracing him in a hug. He wraps his arms around her and pulls her close.

"You're welcome." He wants to hold her forever, but he knows he can't so he lets her go and before he can get even an inch away from her, she pulls him in again when they part for the second time their eyes meet. Emily questions for a split second if she should kiss him or just get on the plane, but her thoughts are interrupted when Derek presses his lips against hers. Emily is kissing him back within seconds and when they both finally run out of air, they part. They both realized they had feelings for each other after Emily's 'death' but decided that they didn't want to jeopardize their friendship for a little crush, but in those moments that was all forgotten.

"I still have to go." Emily whispers picking up one of her bags and tossing it over her shoulder.

"I know." Derek bends down and picks up the other bag. "Maybe I could visit sometime." He suggests. "I've got some vacation time."

"Yeah, I'd like that." She smiles. They stand their looking at each other for a couple of minutes, neither wanting to be the first to say goodbye, but Derek finally speaks up.

"You should probably go; you don't want to miss your flight." It pained him to say goodbye to her.

"Right." She nods. "Well I'll see you, uh, soon?' She's not sure what to say, goodbyes were never her strong suit, and saying goodbye to him was tough.

"Soon." He reinforces with a nod. They hug one last time and he watches Emily walk into the airport before getting in his truck and driving back home.
