A/N I wanted to publish this at the same time as Twice upon a time, but my friend is coming any minute now so I would have to wait until Monday to post. Didn't want that^^

I would just like to tell you that so far nr 3 of my ideas are winning... It's the human trafficking story!

And here's the chapter you've all been waiting for!:D


Chapter 7

When Emily woke up after a goodnight's sleep her head was throbbing. She knew she had a major hangover, which was expected after a night with heavy drinking. Morgan had been waiting up for her when she got home and he was slightly mad at her for getting herself that drunk after everything that had happened. Emily knew he was just too overprotecting, but she still got mad for smothering her. She regretted it now, though, and was disappointed to see that he'd left for work already when she managed to get up. Her morning started with, besides for the horrible headache, getting the twins something to eat. She had started given them real food two weeks ago when they got 4 months old. The girls were awake when she entered their room and she was met by two pairs of big eyes looking up at her. They were smiling at the sight of their mommy and she smiled too. Sometimes Emily had a hard time knowing who to pick up first and was always left guilty over which she picked. Most of all she wanted to carry both of them at the same time, but she just couldn't. Today she picked up Hope first and got her dressed in a yellow t-shirt and dark jeans, before dressing Morgan in a pink t-shirt with matching pink jeans. They both looked so cute by the end of it and she could happily carry them both down to the kitchen, although she had to run two times. Morgan had recently bought them a high chair each and they could finally sit with Emily by the table. They seemed to love it too, getting to sit at the big table and feel big. She made them some apple flavored porridge that actually tasted quite good, Emily had to admit.

Emily made herself a sandwich with cheese and ham on. It stayed down just like the food yesterday and Emily was quite happy about it.

After breakfast she placed her babies on the mat in the living room where all their toys were. Emily sat down on the sofa and put on the TV. She flipped through the channels, but nothing worth watching was on. Turning of the TV again, she decided that she could settle for watching the kids play. Normally she could enjoy this for a whole day, but today she just felt bored. When she felt her pocket buzz, she looked at the caller ID and was happy to see Carson's name. Finally someone would save her from her boredom.

"Hey, Kay!" she answered happily. "What's up?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't come for lunch today. I have a date."

Though Emily was disappointed that her friend couldn't entertain her, she was happy to learn that said friend had found a guy.

"It's alright. Good luck on your date!"

"Thanks, Em! And make sure you eat something!"

"I will." Emily laughed before they both hung up. She was left smiling on the couch, liking how much Carson cared about her.

The smile didn't last long, though, since she once again was met with that restless feeling. It was in times like these she had to admit that she actually missed her old friends. Maybe Emily had been a little too harsh on them and she should probably apologize for that. They had even stopped visiting her because of the cold shoulder she'd given them and at that time Emily was glad that they stopped coming, but now... God she missed them. Also the way she had been treating Morgan. The person that had stood by her side this whole time and who'd really showed that he cared so much about her daughters. He had bought everything they'd needed and he'd even gotten up some nights when they'd woken up so that Emily wouldn't have to. So what if he had slept with Carson one night, he had still showed her that he loved both her and the kids, and to be honest... She felt the exact same thing. Carson had told her that there wasn't anything between them so she wouldn't feel bad for going for it. But the question is if he would still want her after last night, she still felt guilty for kissing that guy, and with the way she'd been acting before that. A tear slipped down her cheek and she wiped it away quickly. She didn't want to cry over things like this, but realizing how bad she had treated her friends lately she just hated herself.

Now she had a plan for the day! Morgan had bought one of those carriages for twins and if she went by bus she would be there in no time!


It was all paperwork today and now that it was after lunch JJ hoped it would remain that way. That way she would be home to Henry by six and she wanted nothing more. Going away on cases wasn't quite the same without Emily and to be totally honest JJ missed her a lot. It had been a few weeks since they last talked. JJ had stopped going over to her place when she'd made it clear that she didn't want JJ there. Emily hadn't said it with her own words, but she hadn't said anything else either. She didn't even come out of her room. It was obvious Emily held some kind of grudge against them all, but who could blame her. The girl had been to hell and back and it was a lot to deal with coming back to the real world.

JJ sighed, looking over the bullpen where everybody was caught up in their own paperwork. It was almost like they weren't as happy anymore. They were all still worried about their old colleague and when someone asked Morgan he would only say that she was struggling or something like that. Now that JJ came to think of it, Morgan had walked into the bullpen much happier than he'd been before, even though there was a hint of worry there. She had gone out to lunch with him and Reid, but he hadn't told them any good news. Maybe she should just head out there and ask him. Even if she couldn't say she was good friends with Emily, she still needed to know as soon as she got better. JJ decided to follow her guts and walked out to the bullpen. She kept thinking of a way to start a conversation, to not make things as quiet as their lunch, and when she saw that one of the desks were empty she found her topic.

"Hey, where's Carson?" JJ asked and both of the agents sitting in the bullpen looked up at the blonde. After being sick this past week Carson had come back this morning, but right now she was gone.

"I think she's at lunch, but she should be back any moment now." Reid said.

"Good." JJ said and thought hard about how to make Morgan talk about what had him so happy. Finally she decided to just spit it out and ask. "I noticed that you look a little happier today, Morgan. Have anything special happened?"

"Well, yeah... Sort of... Emily's doing much better now. She ate what I cooked yesterday and it stayed down."

"Wow! That's amazing!" JJ beamed, but with an ounce of sadness because she wanted to be there for her friend through these big steps. Then she noted that Morgan, too, had some sadness written over his face. "But that's not all there is?"

"No." Morgan sighed. "Yesterday she went out with a friend. I've never heard of a friend and I definitely didn't think that she was ready to go out... and I wanted be the one to take her."

"You're in love with her." Reid stated.

"How did it get so bad?" Morgan asked, his head buried in his hands. "I was so mad yesterday when she got home drunk and wouldn't..."

He stopped when he saw Carson walking in through the glass doors. That person would not get to hear about Morgan's problems with Emily; she wouldn't get to hear about any of his problems. Hotch had spoken to him about how he'd been treating Carson and Morgan had agreed on being nicer, but that didn't mean he had to confide in her.

"Who died?" Carson asked, sitting down at her desk, Emily's old one.

"No one." Morgan said shortly and got back to his paperwork. JJ took this as a cue for leaving.

JJ also thought it was strange for Emily to meet up with a friend at a bar all of a sudden and even if JJ had barely spoken to the woman she sure as hell couldn't remember Emily having other friends.

Then the most amazing and unexpected thing happened. JJ was just about to enter her office when the glass doors opened. They did several times a day and JJ would by reflex, like every time a door opened, glance over to them. What she saw made her jaw drop, but she was happy too and just wanted to run up and hug her. She didn't, though, since she didn't know where she had her anymore. But that didn't matter. The only thing that mattered was that she was here, Emily was here, and in front of her she had her beautiful girls that had grown so much since the last time she saw them. JJ walked down to the other agents that seemed just as surprised as she did.

"What are you doing her, Emily?" Morgan asked as their friend approached them. She did look a lot healthier.

"I... I just got so bored spending the day at home, alone." she said truthfully. "And I wanted to apologize for the way I've been treating you all. I realized that it wasn't fair at all."

"We're sorry too, for giving up on you and thinking that you were dead." JJ said, sincerely.

"I don't blame you anymore. It was a hard situation and now... I've just missed you guys so much" Emily said with a few tears running down her cheeks, matching JJ's own. "Can we just hug and make up now? Please!"

JJ chuckled before wrapping her arms around Emily's thin frame and soon JJ switched with Reid, who hugged her just as tightly. It was good having her back.

"So how have things been?" Emily asked, wiping away her tears after pulling away from Reid.

"Definitely empty without you." JJ stated, even if Carson was in the room. She didn't think Carson would feel bad over it because she knew how good friends they had been with Emily.

JJ then kneeled down to the twins to say hello while Emily was having some kind of conversation with Reid. JJ didn't hear much since she was busy with the cuteness of the girls and their small hands that just loved to grab JJ's hair. The only time she managed to look up was when Emily said her name because she wanted to ask her something.

"Ask away!" JJ said with a big smile.

"I just realized today that my daughters don't have any godparents so I was wondering if you two would like to be Morgan's godparents." Emily asked, addressing to both JJ and Reid.

"I would love to." JJ said happily and hugged Emily once more.

"Yeah, Em... Me too!" Reid agreed and he also received one more hug.

This would probably have to be the happiest news JJ could have hoped for. Not only did she get her friend back, but she also got the most beautiful goddaughter in the world.

"Now I just have to get Hope a couple of godparents." Emily said, a big smile on her face, before turning to Morgan. "Hey, can I speak with you alone?"


A/N There you have it! They have finally made up! But she still has Rossi, Hotch and Garcia left, which we'll handle next chapter.

Wonder what Emily wants with Morgan! I know, but do you have any ideas? I might change mine;P

And please let me know if there is a certain POV you want to read from next! I have some POVs in line, but if you have any requests...

Also, if you have any requests about who can be Hope's godparents... I'm having a hard time picking between Rossi, Hotch, Garcia and (believe it or not) Carson!:)

Review and let me know what you think! About everything:)
