A/N: I am glad that you all are liking this story. Okay now I am going to go back to my original style of writing and write in POV's. LOL. I confused myself with the last chapter. Even though this is a H/P story I will also be focusing on Gibbs/Abby, DiNozzo/Ziva, Rossi/JJ, James/Strauss, Andrew/Elizabeth, M/G, and Re/Jessica. I will be having OC's for Vance and McGee. I can not leave them without having someone for themselves but that will not be until later on the story.

The Buffet after the Auction and Revelations

(HPOV)

After the auction we all left the ballroom and headed over to where they had the buffet set up at. I still could not believe that I had walked up onto the stage and carried Emily off of it. Although I am very happy that I did. Maybe now I will be able to tell her how I felt. If I would not have did what I did someone else could have stepped in and took away the one woman that I love more than my own life.

When we entered the banquet room I looked for a table and found one that would seat us all. I put my hand on Emily's lower back and guided her to it. Everyone else followed us. I pulled out a chair for Emily and helped her sit and then I took the chair next to her. Jessica sat on the left side of Emily with Reid on her other side. Across from us sat Andrew , Elizabeth, Strauss, and then James. And then in the rest of the seats were Gibbs, Abby, Ziva, Tony, McGee, Vance who sat on the other side of Strauss, Morgan, Garcia, Dave, and JJ.

I looked up and then said "Well girls' why did you not tell us that you would be put up for auction tonight?"

Emily laughed and said "Hell Hotch we did not even know you guys would be here until my mom told us as Jess, JJ, Pen and I were going to get ready. We did not tell you guys because we did not know how you would react for one and the other reason is we did not want you guys to know and feel like you had to bid on us."

I looked at Emily and said "Since when have I ever done something because I had to Emily? If I would have known about you being put up for auction I would have come to bid on you not because I felt like I had to but because honestly Emily I could not stand to see another man bid on you and win."

Emily blushed and ducked her head while everyone else laughed. I put my arm around her shoulders and leaned over and kissed her on the head. I was happy that I did come to the fun raiser tonight. If I hadn't then I don't know what I would have done when I found out that Emily had been bought by a guy that none of us knew.

"So Jess I take it you and Emily went shopping together since you two are wearing the same dress?" I asked.

Jess laughed and said "Yes, we did."

Reid said "Well Jessica I think that you look beautiful."

Jess blushed and said "Thank you Spencer."

Dr. Simmons came over to the table and said "I have got to thank you all for the donations. We did really good and the hospital will be able to get a lot of what they need. Also I have to say that the way some of you acted really made me laugh and de-stress and I really needed too."

Andrew laughed and said "You are welcome. Although we really were not trying to be funny but once we learned that our women were on the auction block there was no way that we were going to let other men win them."

Dr. Simmons nodded and walked away to sit down. All of us got up and went to the buffet table and got some food. It was fun watching everyone laugh and talk while we ate.

I looked up as I heard Andrew laugh and I laughed at what I saw. Gibbs was feeding Abby a piece of meat and ended up dropping it down her dress. Emily started laughing as she saw Gibbs try to get the piece of meat out of Abby's dress.

I leaned over and whispered in Emily's ear "They look good together don't they?"

Emily smiled and nodded and said "Everyone that is paired up with someone looks good together. I am glad that my dad bought my mom."

I nodded and said "Strauss and James look like they are enjoying themselves. And Rossi, DiNozzo, Morgan, and Reid can barely keep their eyes off of their women. Not that I blame them because I am having a hard time keeping my eyes off of you."

Emily laughed and said "Well thank you."

Elizabeth spoke up and said "Ladies are we still on for later tonight?"

As one Emily, JJ, Jessica, Abby, Garcia, Ziva, and Strauss said "YES!"

Gibbs looked up and said "And just what is it you think you ladies are doing later tonight without us men?"

Strauss said "It is not what we think we are doing but what we know we are doing Gibbs."

The women laughed and James said "Well alright what are you women doing later tonight then?"

Ziva laughed and said "Elizabeth was nice enough to rent a suite for all of us so we are going to have a girls' night after the dancing tonight."

Tony looked up and said "Why can you not go home with me Ziva?"

Ziva looked back at Tony and said "Because you only bought me for a date, Tony."

At this Vance started laughing and said "The women are going to play hard to get Gentlemen. I think they are going to make you prove that you like or love them and it is going to take a while. This is going to be interesting to watch."

Elizabeth looked at Vance and said "Your time will come Leon. Just wait and see."

After she said that she stood up and said "I have to go to the ladies room. Anyone want to join me?"

All of the women stood up and followed Elizabeth out of the banquet room.

"Why is it that women can not go to the bathroom by themselves?" Gibbs asked.

Andrew laughed and said "They all went together so that they can talk about us men, Gibbs."

Reid said "Why do they have to talk about us?"

Morgan chuckled and said "Kid you have a lot to learn about women. They like to talk about us and make comparisons on who they think the better man is."

I outright laughed at this and said "Morgan that is the truth. But they also like talking about what they think of what we did. My guess is that they are going to laugh because of how we handled ourselves tonight. I still can not believe I walked up onto the stage and carried Emily off of it and out the back door and then back in."

Andrew grinned and said "But Aaron you got her attention that way. You are a profiler but you are blind. My pumpkin has been in love with you for the last two years."

Gibbs laughed and said "Hell even I knew that Emily was in love with you Hotch. Then again I figured that out on the one and only date I ever took her on about a year and a half ago. I kissed her good night and she called me by your name."

I looked at Gibbs in shock and said "You took her out on a date?!?!?!?"

Everyone laughed and Andrew said "I remembered that night. Gibbs went with her because she was going to some kind of function and she did not want to go alone. She needed a man to go with her because some guy was not following her and would not leave her alone."

Gibbs nodded and said "Actually Andrew you may want to talk to Emily. The guy is still stalking her but the local police can not do anything about it because according to them until he does something like breaking and entering or touches her they can't do anything about it. I had to go over to her house just two nights ago because the guy was outside on the sidewalk."

"What the hell? Why hasn't she told any of us that some guy was stalking her?" Morgan demanded.

At this point Dave, Reid, James, Andrew, DiNozzo, McGee, Vance, Morgan and I were all leaning forward.

Gibbs shrugged his shoulders and said "Probably because she figured one of you or all of you would try to take over her life. Hell don't get me wrong I love Em but I let her make the decisions instead of telling her what she is going to do."

I growled "She damn well better tell us about it soon or I will say something. I will not have my woman living in fear."

Everyone nodded but quieted down because the women were coming back in. I looked at Emily and saw that she was pale and I saw that the other women we trying to act like nothing happened.

I looked around at the guys and said quickly "Something happened while they went to the ladies room. Look how pale Emily is. See if any of you can find out."

Once again the guys nodded and stood up and headed towards the women. I followed closely behind. Once I got up close to Emily I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and pulled her into my side.

"Are you alright Emily?" I asked.

Emily tried to smile and said "Everything is fine Hotch."

I looked at her and nodded even though I did not believe her. I looked at the men and saw that they were all looking at Emily and I and were shaking there heads no. I decided that for now I would let it go but here soon she I would get her to tell me what is wrong.

"May I have your attention please? Since everyone is done eating lets all move back over to the ballroom for the dancing part of our fundraiser. Once again I want to thank all of you for coming out." Dr. Simmons said.

I grabbed Emily's hand in mine and led the way back to the ballroom with everyone following us. I smiled as I looked back and saw that in a way all of us guys even with our women were surrounding Emily and making sure that she is alright.
