Here's a quick chapter, sorry for all the jumping between the time lines, hope you'll like it any way..
Emily's two weeks in DC flew by fast and before she knew it, she stood at the airport, waiting on her plane back to London.
"I miss you already." Derek said and held her tight. Emily leaned into his embrace, holding him tighter too.
"I know, but it won't be forever. We'll see soon." She said slowly. Derek sighed, he knew they would see each other again, as soon as possible. But those weeks had gone so fast, it felt like she just had arrived. The truth was that he had got so used to have her here, waking up beside her, see her smile, hearing her wonderful laugh, just have her close. That it would be really hard to not having her with him. And Derek felt like a part of him went with her.
A sound of a speaker voice interrupted his thoughts. Emily looked at him, gave him a sad smile.
"That's my plane. I need to go..." She said. He leaned down and kissed her, both of them could feel the emotional feelings and unspoken words in it.
"I love you." Emily breathed against his lips.
"I love you too." He kissed her again.
"Text when you've landed?" He asked and Emily nodded.
"I will." She answered and gave him quick last kiss on the lips. They have each other a last look, before Emily walked away, towards the gate.

It was dark outside when Emily unlocked the door to her apartment. It felt weird to be in London time again, she had got used to the DC time. She walked in, dumped her bags on the floor. Locked the door and dotted in the code on the alarm system. She slowly walked towards her kitchen, she was tired from the flight and her lack of sleep from last night, since she and Derek had been busy with saying goodbye. Emily lit the lamp in the kitchen and took a look into the fridge, which was pretty much empty, except from a half packet with sour milk. Great, now she needed to go food shopping too, which she definitely wasn't going to do at 11 o'clock at night. She looked through her record, a few bills and some advertising. Then she saw something black in the corner of her eye, she jumped backwards and her hand automatically moved towards her waist, where her holster normally used to be. Then she heard a soft 'meow'.
"Oh god Sergio, you scared me!" Emily muttered and lifted up her black cat. She gently scratched him behind his ear, which she knew he loved.
"Missed me, buddy?" she said and stroked his soft fur. After a while Sergio got enough of cuddling and jumped down, he went out to Emily's living room, probably to take a nap on the couch. Emily just shook her head at her cat, he was very independent sometimes and he behaved as he own the whole world.
Emily dragged herself towards the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for the night.
After her shower Emily got to sleep, she dug around in her bag before she found what she was looking for. She took up Derek's Chicago PD T-shirt, which she had snatched without Derek noticed. She let the let the fabric fall over her body and went to bed. The shirt had a light smell of Derek and his cologne and it helped at bit towards the missing of him. As Sergio jumped up on her bed and settled beside her, Emily grabbed her phone from her nightstand. She got to her and Derek's iMessage conversation and wrote in a message.
The flight went well, guessed you wanted to know, about to go to sleep now. But it's empty without you. Xx Em. It didn't take many minutes before she got an answer back.
Glad the flight went well. We just got a case, in Denver, some dude who's killing teenage girls.. But I hope you'll sleep well, figure you need it after last night and the jet lag ;) And I miss you, sleep well baby and we'll talk when I get back xx D.
Emily smiled at the message, which just made her miss him even more. She'd always been used to her own space, but with Derek she never felt uncomfortable, he understood her like nobody ever had. Of course he had done that in years, ever since they had found out about their shared loved for Kurt Vonnegut.
"Good night Serg." Emily yawned and looked at the sleeping cat beside her. She turned off the light and it didn't take long before she drifted off to sleep.

Emily walked into the high Interpol building, she got into the elevator and went up to the floor where her office was. She walked out, she saw her colleagues, or the members in her team actually.
"Welcome back ma'am." A blond-haired man agent said.
"Thank you Brian. Hope you've had a good time, because now it's back to business." Emily said and went into her office. Emily had a ton of paper files and paper work at her desk, which wasn't a shock, it was the only thing you could expect when you went on a vacation for two weeks. Emily sighed, it was the pesky thing with being the unit chief. It was a lot of paperwork, sure Emily had done a lot of paper work during her time at the BAU too, but not this much. She could just imagine how much paperwork Hotch had been doing over the years and Derek too, when he had been temporary unit chief.
The day went by slow, but Emily had finished most of the files when she got home for the nigh. Before she got home to her apartment, she did a stop at the grocery store, buying some food and other consumables. She cooked some food, but she had to admit that Derek's cooking was much better.

The weeks went by and Emily got home after a long day at work, she was tired and felt dizzy. Probably because she almost hadn't eaten anything in the whole day, her stomach had felt up and down when she waked up that morning. She looked at the clock on the wall, she didn't fancy any food, so she just ate a bowl of yoghurt. She sat at the kitchen table, when Sergio jumped up.
"No Serg, get down. You know you're not allowed to be on the table." Emily said and tried to put him down. But the harder Emily tried to put the cat away, the more he kept jumping back.
"Sergio, why, do you have to be so annoying? I'm trying to eat here." Emily sighed. The cat stared at her. Then she remembered.
"Oh gosh, I've forgotten to give you food." Emily got up and went over to the cabinet where she kept Sergio's cat foot. Then her cell phone rang out, Emily quickly scooped it up from her pocket and looked at the caller Id. She smiled and answered.
"Hi" Emily said as she clamped the cell phone between her ear and shoulder and at the same way tried to reach Sergio's food.
"Hey Princess." Derek said in the other end of the line, god it was wonderful to hear his voice. They hadn't had the possibility talked much lately, because both of them had been very busy at work.
"How have you been?" Derek asked softly. Emily smiled and poured up the cat food to Sergio, who happily ate.
"I've been good, what about you?" She definitely wasn't going to tell him about her not-feeling-so-well-day, he was just going to get worried. And it was nothing to worry about, maybe just a head cold or some stomach bug.
"I'm great, just a lot of work you know, that's why I haven't called." He sighed, he really missed her and the busy weeks with a lot of works and several cases had been so much harder without talking to her.
"Yeah, I've been busy too…" Emily yawed, but then a thought showed up in her head…
"Emily…" Derek said with a clear voice. "What's up? You sound a bit off..." he said and Emily could hear the worrying in his voice. She sighed, he didn't even talk to her face to face, but he knew something wasn't hundred percent right.
"I'm fine, just tired, I've had a lot of doing this week." Emily answered, which actually wasn't a lie.
"Okay… Then I think you should go to sleep now, because I know it's late in your time." He said gently.
"I probably should… I miss you." Emily said sofly, she didn't wanted to end this call in the wrong way.
"I miss you too honey. We need to meet soon, I maybe can come next weekend? If we don't get a case, that's it." Derek said.
"Yeah, that would be great." Emily yawned again. Derek chuckled.
"I better let you go to sleep. I love you." He said.
"I love you too, take care." Emily answered.
"You too." Derek said before the hung up. Emily put her cellphone on the kitchen table, walked out in the hallway, grabbed her coat and car keys and walked out of her apartment.
Even though it was late at night, one of the small stores was open, Emily parked her car and hurried inside, trying to not get too wet from the rain. She walked as in trans through the store, picked up the box and went to the cashier to pay. Then she drew home, it was almost empty at the streets and the street light was on. She hurried up to her apartment and went straight into the bathroom. Well in there, she read the manual at the backside of the box, before she pulled out the stick. Since she had to wait three minutes she put the stick on the sink and looked at the clock...
One minute passed by… two… … … and then finally three. It felt like the longest three minutes in the world to Emily, she carefully took the stick, her hands was shaking of nervousness. She took a deep breath…
"Here we go..." Emily mumbled and looked down at the test and saw the…
