Guest(Derek and Emily not knowing much about each other): They do know a lot about each other, but it's stuff best friends would know not really couples so much. He knows the basics of things. Her favorite color, meal, wine, movies, etc. He doesn't know things like why her and her mother had such a bad relationship in the beginning. He doesn't know anything about her father, or any family besides her mother. She knows nothing about his past and has only met his family once. He hasn't really told her much about his time before coming to the BAU. They are both SUPER private people, and they know the basic things about each other but they haven't really gone below the surface. Being a couple will change that privacy.
ENJOY!
"Emily? Baby?" he says walking through the door to the old house. He was worried when there was no response until he heard giggling coming from upstairs. He walked to the top floor, and saw two tall brunettes.
"Mom! Look you have to hold it still!" Emily says with a smile. Elizabeth smiles too. Emily was handing a drill, and Elizabeth was holding the wood to a board. Emily drills it in. Derek stands on the side. Emily get's the nail in and he looks at the built wall.
"Wow...when you said you'd have the wall built by tonight you weren't joking. Good work baby." Derek says with a smile. It was late, really, really, really late. Emily turned around, and saw Derek. Elizabeth laughed when Derek blushed at her. Him and Emily walk toward each other, and kiss quickly. He holds onto her. "It's a tough one." he whispers in her ear.
"Well, we can go home and you can hold me if it helps." Emily says. He nods.
"Which place is home?" he asks. She smiles.
"Whichever place that has you in it tonight." she says. Elizabeth grin at the adorable scene, and laughs. Derek let's go, and nods toward Elizabeth. She smiles and waves a bit.
"Nice to see you again Derek." she says. He nods, and then he looks at the clothes she's wearing and laughs.
"You too ambassador. I don't think I've ever seen you in anything but formal clothes." he says with a chuckle. She shrugs.
"Emily talked me into coming here, and eating a horribly-delicious giant burger, and then I built a wall with my daughter. It's been an odd day." Liz says. "Emily, I was wondering if I could stay with you for a few days. Especially since you don't have a job anymore. I...I could be good company. I'm not...doing anything for a few days." Liz says. Emily nods.
"I could make the guest room up. That's fine. What about work?" Emily asks her. Her whole life her mother couldn't spend the days with her because she had to work.
"I want to spend time with my daughter. Work can wait. Plus, you need some help with this house if it's going to be made by the time you guys want to start a family." Liz says with a smile. Emily chuckles. They all head out and get in the car. That night Derek and Emily curled up on the couch.
"Wanna tell me about it?" Emily asks tracing his chest through his shirt. Focusing on the way his shirt folds up against her finger.
"It's...kids." he says. He bites his lip, and he pulls her closer. "You know how cases with kids are." he says softly.
"I know. How young?" she asks. He doesn't want to answer.
"They're just babies Em. 5 at most." he says shaking his head. He always got sick in his stomach when thinking about this. He didn't want to see their little faces. It hurt too much.
"I'm sorry baby." she says. "I know how it is..." she says looking up at him. He smirks.
"I know you do baby." he says. He leans down to kiss her. She kisses him back. "You make my life...so much better." he whispers into her mouth.
"I love you." she says closing her eyes and deepening the kiss. In between kisses he replies.
"I love you too baby." he says. He lifts her up, and she straddles his lap. They continue to make out until he grabs the inside of her thigh and tickles her. She shoots up and laughs out loud. He gets on top of her and she starts to giggle. She grabs his hand, and moves quickly. She flips him over and pins him down.
"And you doubted my skillz!" she says. He laughs and flips her over. Elizabeth laugh's at the two "kids" rolling around on the floor wrestling. They giggle until they can't breathe. She shakes her head. It's nice to see Emily so happy.
"No...no..." Emily starts to whimper in her sleep. "No...please don't." she whimpers thrashing about. She forgot to take her meds between Derek spending the night, and her mother being here. Another loud whimper turned into a cry. She moves harshly against Derek. "Stop!" she yells out. Derek's eyes flash open, and he goes to wake her up immediately. "STOP! PLEASE DON'T! I'M NOT YOU LAUREN GO AWAY!" she screams. She won't stop moving. Elizabeth run's in and watches her daughter's boyfriend try to wake her. Tears fall down Emily's face.
"Emily it's me! Derek! Come on baby, wake up!" he says to her. Her eyes pop open and she sees Derek above her. Her arms fly around him, and she holds onto him so tight. He wraps her in his arms, and rocks her making shushing sounds. He kisses her forehead, and glances at Elizabeth. She's just standing there with a sad horrified look on her face. She remembers when Emily was little and would cling to her like that. "I can make her some food if you want to stay with her. She needs to eat with her pills...I guess we both just...forgot." he says angry at himself. Elizabeth just nods. She sit's down, and she put's a hand on Emily's shoulder.
"Come here baby." she says trying not to cry. Emily goes to her mom, and Liz takes her daughter into her arms. Emily cries and she runs her fingers through her daughter's hair. Her baby girls hair. She bites her lip, and she's taken back to when Emily was just tiny. Shakily through her tears she starts to sing softly. "Well...I've been afraid of changing cause I've built my life around you. But time makes you bolder. Children get older. Yeah well time makes you bolder. I'm get-getting older too." she sings to her daughter. Emily smiles when she hears the soothing voice. She wiped her mom's tears away with her thumb.
"Don't cry. I'll be okay." Emily says. Liz just nods.
"I know sweety, but...I missed you so much." she says breathing through tears. Elizabeth holds her tighter than she ever has.
"I missed you too mommy. I'm sorry for everything I ever said to you. I'm sorry I told you I hated you." Emily says. Liz nods.
"I know you are honey. I know. I'm sorry for always being gone I never got...the last time I saw you we fought, and I can never have that again." she says holding onto her. They rock together, and Derek comes back with a PB&J. He waits till they stop crying a bit, and when he walks in he sees the ambassador to wipe away her tears quickly. "I'm...I'm sorry." she says quickly. "This about Emily I..." Elizabeth blushes. Emily reaches and takes her food from Derek. She eat's quickly. She takes her pills and says goodnight to her mother. Her and Derek get back in bed, and cuddle up close. Elizabeth takes one more glance and sighs. How could she miss so much of her daughter's life?
Thursday came too soon, and Emily found herself sitting in a light green painted waiting room. The clock on the wall was ticking and she squirmed in her seat. Her nails were in her mouth. She hated therapists. She watches a nervous, twitching kid walk out of the office along with a tall red head. The woman had glasses and was very bookish looking. She had a soft smile though, and a motherly feeling. The kid had to either be on drugs, or schizophrenic. She didn't guess. The woman at the front desk wrote him a prescription and left. The tall woman that she is guessing is Evelyn Graves turns to her. "Emily Prentiss?" she asks with a large smile. She looks to be the same age as David and her mother. Emily nods and stands. She walks into the office and takes a seat on a leather couch. "Wow. Emily Prentiss in my office. David told me something happened, and that you wanted to see someone about it." Evelyn says. Emily nods.
"I'm going to tell the truth...I hate talking to people. I'm not good at opening up." Emily says. Evelyn smiles.
"Like mother like daughter. Did David tell you who I am?" she says with a smile. Emily shakes her head no. Evelyn smiles. "I'm David's ex-wife. You're mother, David, and I go way back." she says. "So, I since you are bad at this, do you mind telling me about this...mission?" Evelyn says. Emily nods.
"It was a mission to take down a terrorist named Ian Doyle. My cover was a woman named Lauren Reynolds. She is a arms dealer. Ian Doyle was my target. I met him, and we developed a relationship, as it was part of the mission." Emily says. Evelyn just nods and writes things down.
"Was it a sexual relationship?" asks. Emily nods.
"Well, I was with him for two years." Emily says. "He...he loved me, or he said he loved me. He's a psychopath...that was the profile." Emily says softly. Evelyn nods. Emily recited what happened with Doyle and Evelyn listened patiently. After the session she sighs.
"So...I have one more question, what made you want to get help?" Evelyn asked. Emily shrugged. She was not going to tell her about Lauren just yet...not yet.
"I, I was in a bad place. A few months prior I...my boyfriend I guess broke up with me. He was...he was who I leaned on." Emily says. "I guess he didn't really break up with me, he just...it's hard to explain. We had a sexual relationship before everything happened. In fact it had been going on about five years when Doyle happened." Emily says blushing a bit.
"Oh," she says. "And...do you mind if I ask who this is?" she asks. Emily blushes again.
"Derek Morgan...from my team." she says. Evelyn smirks.
"What happened the night you were in a bad place?" she asked. Emily sighs.
"I...I...I was drinking a lot. I had a voice in my head telling me...I was going to end my life. I called Derek because he was the last person I wanted to hear before I died. He knew, he came, he saved me. We've been...we've been together since that day." Emily says. "We're fixing up a house, we've been so...so happy. It's been nice." Emily says.
Time had passed quickly, and Emily was enjoying having her mother there with her. Friday came, and she had a smile on her face. They had gotten closer over the few days that Elizabeth had been visiting. It was her final night here, and her mother was getting ready in the bathroom. When Elizabeth walked out she looked beautiful. Her hair was done up pretty, and she had a tad more make up on than usual. A red dress that made her skin and dark hair stand out. Emily looks at her surprised. "Where are you going?" Emily asks smirking a bit. Elizabeth blushes.
"No where special. I'm going to David's house for dinner. We have a dinner every time I visit." Elizabeth said biting her lip like Emily does when she gets caught doing something she shouldn't.
"Oh you do now? And do you always dress so nice when you go to these...dinners at Dave's house?" Emily asks with wit in her voice. Elizabeth gives her a 'I'm not gonna deal with you right now' look.
"It's just dinner between old friends..." Elizabeth says. "I probably won't be home tonight though so don't stay up. I love you daughter. Night." she says kissing Emily's cheek and walking out before Emily can say anything to her about not coming home.
"I love you too!" Emily yells with a laugh. Sergio jumps on her lap and starts to purr. It should be an hour or so when Derek get's home. She takes out some ice cream and turns on her tv. She finds Sex and the City and eat's away. At about 10 her cell phone rings. She looks at the caller ID and is shocked as too what she sees. "Clyde?" she asks. She hears a chuckle.
"It's me darling...do you mind if I come over and talk to you about something?" he asks. Her jaw drops.
"What? You're in the states?" she asks.
"Yes, I am. Now can I come over? We have something to talk about." Clyde says. She get's nervous.
"I hate when you do this. Yes, you may come over." Emily says. Fifteen minutes later Emily is in jeans instead of jammies, and the ice cream is away. The knock on the door happens and she opens it too reveal Clyde. He walks in and smiles. He looks at the tv.
"Sex and the City? Really Emily?" he says. She turns her tv off quickly, and looks at Clyde.
"What do you want?" she asks. He smiles.
"What? I can't come visit, and old...friend." he says checking her ass out as she walks into her kitchen to get the wine out. "You've always had the best arse." he says. She turns around and glares at him.
"I'm in a committed relationship." she replies to his comment. "What do you want from me?" she asks. He sighs sadly.
"Pour that before I ask." he says. She pours the wine, and he sighs again. "Donny, from..." he started but she interrupts him quickly.
"I know who Donny is. What happened?" she asks concerned now.
"He was shot down three nights ago by a small time guy that we've both been acquainted with." Clyde says. She stops in her tracks.
"Who?" she asks. "Who is it?" she asks a bit more forcefully. Donny was a few years younger than her, but he was good. He was tough. He was a newly wed when she first met him. They had become friends quickly, and he saved her ass more times than she could count on one hand. Donny was angry when she went under cover. He was always looking out for her. "What happened?" she asked now upset about her friend. The kid she tried to teach, and mentor. She was nice to him when the other's were rude, and mean to him most of the time. She drinks her wine.
"Aleksandr Shchegelsky. He was out of the loop, and ever since Doyle's death their were rumors that the reason he died was because of a fight with an FBI agent. Their are also rumors that Lauren Reynolds isn't dead, but that she turned against Doyle and went state." he says. "I know what you went through, but I need to get this guy. I need to get him for Donny's kids Emily. I..." Clyde takes a minute, but controls his emotions quickly. "I need to make sure he is away forever." Clyde finishes. Emily takes a breath.
"What do you need me to do?" she asks. He gives her a look then says it in a lower voice.
"I need Lauren Reynolds to do her thing, and get him to give up information." he says. She looks at him, and she can feel Lauren smiling inside of her.
For Donny...Emily. Lauren whispers parts of her voice are caring...the rest is evil. Clyde didn't know how dangerous letting Lauren out would be.
"I can't do that." she says. "I can't be Lauren Reynolds again." Emily says. She takes a deep breath, and bites her lip. Emily, I will be good. Lauren says. "I can't." she says. Clyde sighs audibly.
"It's for Donny! Damn it Emily please. We have no leads, no evidence...Emily we have nothing. I can't look at the faces of his children anymore, Emily." Clyde raises his voice, and Emily can see the emotion written on his face. Emily walks up to him, and he runs his hands through his hair. "I'm really sick of losing people and not getting justice." Clyde says. She puts her hands on Clyde's forearms to calm him down.
"Okay. I'll...I'll think about it...I need to discuss it with my boyfriend. He won't like this." Emily says. Clyde sighs.
"Then don't tell him I need you on this with me. You are my last, and only shot." Clyde says staring in Emily's eyes.
"I...I'll think about it." Emily says. "He should be coming here soon. It's Friday. David is off work that means Derek should be coming through the door any minute. I...it was nice seeing you Clyde I'll call." she says. He sighs.
"Can't we just...talk? Like old friends. You were always my favorite destraction." he says with a breathy chuckle. He downs the drink she pours him, and smiles at her. She's smirking.
"Sure. Come sit." she says. They sit down, and they start to talk. She let's out a loud laugh as the door unlocks and opens.
"Emily?" Derek asks. He hears a man's laughing. He walks more into the room, and sees Emily laughing as Clyde puts a hand up to her face. He was telling a story, and Emily was cracking up. She takes another drink of her wine, and smiles when she sees Derek. "Em...Clyde." he says kind of bitterly. She sighs when she hears his tone. Derek goes up the stairs, and waits until Clyde is gone to come back down.
"You should go Clyde...I'll call you when I have an answer." Emily says to him. Clyde raises his glass quickly.
"To Donny..." Clyde says a bit sadly. Emily nods, and they clink glasses.
"To Donny..." she repeats. They down their drinks. They both stand and she hands him his phone from the table. He smiles, and kisses her on her cheek.
"I really hope you help us. Donny loved you Em." he says. Emily nods.
"Yeah...it was the same for me." she says softly. She takes a deep breath. He walks out the door, and Emily shuts it with a sad smile. She bites her lip as she thinks about her friend, and his family. His poor kids. Derek trots downstairs, and gives her a look. She knows he wasn't very happy to find her and Clyde sitting there talking. Sitting closely on her couch. His hand on her face. Her giggling like an idiot. He won't be mean though. She knows that, but it still makes her angry at how jealous he can get. He's always hated Clyde. Mostly because Clyde was the reason Lauren existed.
"So, Clyde was here." he says biting his words. She sighs. Her friend was dead, and she didn't feel like arguing.
"Yeah. He was. I have a lot to think about, and a lot on my mind." Derek sighs. "So please stop...I don't need this right now. We've been so happy. Don't do this." Emily says. His voice softens, but he doesn't detect the sadness in her tone.
"I'm sorry Em, what am I supposed to think though? Clyde was here. Touching you..." Derek says. "I just...don't trust that guy." Derek says shuffling through the fridge.
"He was telling a story about something Donny did once while we were undercover together." Emily says, her voice cracking when she says Donny. Derek turns around quickly. He runs to her when he sees her crying.
"What? Emily, what happened? Why was he here?" he asks her sitting down next to her.
"Donny's dead, and they need my help to catch him." she says softly. "His...he has kids, and a wife...he...saved my ass so many times." Emily says. She wipes her tears away quickly. "I'm going to do something Derek, and you can't change my mind...Clyde needs me to go UC...to catch Donny's killer. I need too...I'm going to become Lauren again." she says looking at him waiting for his reply. Anger fills his face, and he let's out a harsh breath.
"Hell. No." Derek says.
OH NO! Trouble in paradise! It was too happy for a bit. I needed a change up...don't worry, I have faith they'll be fine. Hope you enjoyed! REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!(:
