Chapter 10

Emily moved just in time to avoid getting knocked out but not in time to avoid the blow completely She grunted as a hard object struck the top of her head. Mari started screaming again and Emily was on the floor seeing stars. Sean was about to strike again when something very hard struck him from behind and knocked him unconscious. Emily and Mari were relieved to see Clyde with a metal pipe in his hand.

"Emily Prentiss! Have you gone completely off your rocker? You know you were supposed to wait for backup!"

"Believe me, I learned my lesson on that. I need to get Mari out of here before everything goes down. I don't want her in the middle of things when we go after O'Connell ."

"O'Connell was bound to have heard the racket wherever he is so we have to move fast."

Clyde grabbed Doyle,threw him over his shoulder, and ran out with him. Emily was about to run out with Mari when they heard someone coming. Emily put Mari back on the floor and signaled her to pretend to be asleep. Emily hid.

Reggie came out and looked around and saw that Mari was fast asleep. Annoyed about the interruption, he returned to Nat. As soon as he was gone, Emily grabbed Mari and ran for the door. This time they got out.

By this time, The others were just arriving. As soon as Reid saw his daughter in Emily's arms, He ran over and took his little girl into his arms, tears streaming down his face.

"Rosebud, Rosebud, are you okay? Did those men hurt you?"

"I'm ok, daddy but they took Nat away from me and I don't know where they took her."

"Hotch, I need to go in there after her. I need her to be safe too."

"Reid, stay with your little girl. Emily and Clyde just told me they got Sean Doyle so it won't take Many of us to capture only O'Connell" Reid nodded and just hugged his daughter again and they rocked back and forth. Emily gave the orders.

"Hotch, you and Morgan block the front door. Rossi you and Blake block the back exit. search the area and Clyde and I and and Jackson and Smithe will guard the side exits"

JJ and Grimes entered the building and suddenly heard a scream. They ran toward it and found that it was coming from the other side of a locked door. Grimes was about as big as Morgan and he kicked the door down and found Reggie on top of Nat who was struggling as hard as she could to get was too strong for her to handle alone though. Grimes and JJ grabbed Reggie and Nat got up. Reggie Jerked away from JJ and Grimes and ran down the hall. Nat, JJ and Grimes ran after him. Reggie saw that all the exit were blocked except for the back exit. At least that is what it looked like to him. He found out how wrong he was when as he ran out the door he was struck on the head from two sides and fell to the ground unconscious. Reggie was a very big man so it took Morgan, Grimes, Hotch and Rossi to carry his dead wait to the SUV. Reid looked up in Relief to see Nat walking towards him with JJ when they got to him, JJ quickly grabbed Mari as Nat fell in to Reid's arms. she had tried to remain strong for Mari for the last two days and the stress and fear had finally taken its toll on her. Reid just held her while she cried out all the tears she had been holding inside for all this time.

"It's ok. It's ok. I'm here. You're safe. Reggie can't hurt you anymore." When Nat's tears had subsided, Reid pulled back and looked in her eyes, then he kissed her gently. After that he asked,

"Did.. did they hurt you at all?" Nat knew what he wasn't saying and she answered him.

"No. Not like that." After a pause, she said,

"He would have though if JJ and Grimes hadn't come in when they did." Reid looked at her horrified and then pulled her back into his arms and hugged her again tightly."

Emily and Clyde came over then and Emily pulled Nat into a big hug.

"I'm so glad you are ok."

"I'm so glad you guys found us when you did. Emily, What happened to your head?!"

"It's fine. Just had a little run in with sean but Mari warned me soon enough that he Wasn't able to give me a full blow."

"You should still get it checked on though, Emily." Said Clyde.

Hotch came up and said, We are taking all three of you to get checked out."

Nat and Emily both started to protest but Clyde said. "No arguments. You know it's protocol. You're going and that's final."

Nat and Emily grumbled but agreed. When they got to the hospital, they were met by Garcia and Amy. Garcia gave Emily and Nat each a big hug!

"I was soo worried about you guys. Where's my little Angel-cake? Is she ok?"

"Relax, PG. She's fine. They drugged her but the didn't even give her enough to keep her asleep for more than a couple hours."

"Thank God. But where is she."

"Here I am, Aunt Penelope!" Called a little voice from right behind Morgan.

"Reid put Mari down and let her run to Garcia who picked her up and smothered her with kisses. Mari giggled and screeched,

"Stop that, Aunt Pen!" Garcia put her down and asked "

"Where's Hotch?"

"He and Clyde Easter took Sean Doyle and Reggie O'Connell to Scotland yard to turn them over. They'll meet us here after they finish." Rossi told her.

When Hotch and Clyde got back, The doctors were already finished with Emily. Hotch was just walking through the doors when She came out of the ER. He gave her a kiss and they sat down in a corner of the waiting room away from the others.

"Aaron, I was thinking." said Emily

"About what?" asked Hotch

"Well, My Mother arrives back here tomorrow and You guys have to fly back to Quantico on Wednesday. I would really love for us to get married before you guys head back and while my Mother is here in London. What would you think about having our wedding in the garden of the villa on Tuesday. We could even fly Jessica out here for it." Emily said

"I think that is a great idea. We never wanted a big wedding and your Matron of Honor and my Best Man are here already. The flower girl is too, and a ring bearer. My brother,Sean can even easily come because he is in Ireland on Business. Lets tell the others about this tonight after everyone has gotten some sleep. You can call your mother and I will call sean and Jessica to work out those details. Emily, you are brilliant. Have I told you lately how much I love you?" Hotch said.

Emily smiled, "Yes but I'd still like to hear it again."

Hotch pulled her in for a kiss and said ,"I love you Emily Prentiss."

"I love you too, Aaron Hotchner."

After Nat and Mari were checked out and pronounced "In tip-top shape" They all headed back to Interpol where they were met by the limo, and taken back to the Villa. Nat was going to stay at the villa for a couple of days so she wouldn't have to be alone after what had happened. She would room with Emily and Garcia.

As soon as the got inside, They were bombarded by questions coming from four different directions.

"Did you get them back?" asked Jack.

"How is everyone?" asked James.

"Where's Mari?" asked Henry.

"Did you bring those bozos down?" asked Will

"Woah. One question at a time!" laughed Emily, "Yes we got them back. They are fine. We got there just in time. Henry, Reid is bringing Mari in. They're right behind us. And yes, Will, "those bozos" are now at Scotland Yard where they belong!"

As she was finishing her report, Reid came in carrying a sleeping Mari. She didn't stay asleep for long though. She woke up as soon as they entered the living room and looked around.

"Henry, Jackie!" Her dad let her down and she ran to her cousins. Jack lifted her up and swung her around in a hug. Then Henry picked her up and gave her a tight hug.

"I think everyone here, at least those of us that worked this case and were a part of it, need some sleep. lets all go take naps and then we can see about something to eat." said Rossi. Everyone agreed and even the four that had stayed at home took naps. They slept for less time though than the victims and crimefighters did.

Four hours later, everyone was up and they all decided to go out to eat. They went to a place called The Red Lion &Sun. Nat suggested that one because it was kid friendly and the food was great. She was right. Everyone, including the kids, had a great time and the food was amazing.

When they got back, Emily told them about the plan for her and Hotch's wedding to be on Tuesday. JJ was thrilled to be chosed as the Matron of Honor and Jack was beyond excited to be best man. Henry and Mari were pleased with their roles in the wedding too. Emily had called her mother who, said she would call her favorite caterers to come out to the villa. She also put her self in charge of getting the orchestra for the reception. That was fine with Emily. She knew she couldn't do everything by herself in two days. Hotch had called Sean and Jessica and They would both be there. Jessica was flying in the next day so she could enjoy London for a little bit before she went home with the team on Wednesday. Sean was taking a train in Tuesday afternoon.

When Jessica got in on Monday, Hotch went to meet the plane while Emily stayed at the villa to greet her mother. Tuesday afternoon, While Hotch met sean's train, and then took Jack and Henry shopping for wedding suits for the boys and himself, Emily and Mari and JJ went shopping for dresses for the wedding. Garcia and Alex and Jessica went shopping for dresses in a different store since they weren't in the wedding. The other men had to get nicer outfits for the wedding too, since no one had known to bring anything more formal. Then The ladies took Jessica on a tour of the town. They went to Buckingham Palace and Abbey Road. They took a bus tour and saw London Bridge and Big Ben. Then it was almost time to get ready for the wedding so they headed back.

The ladies and Mari all got ready together. Emily's dress was beautiful. It was off-white and just above her knees. it had pearl beads sewn all over it and was short sleeved. her shoes were off-white heals that matched the dress perfectly. JJ's dress was sleeveless and the same length as Emily's . it was Chiffon material and a beautiful lavender. On her feet she wore sandals that matched the dress. Mari's dress was the same color as her Godmother's. It was tea-length and she had matching mary-jane shoes.

After everyone had gotten dressed,and Garcia had done Emily's hair , she, Nat, Jessica, and Alex went out to find seats, leaving Emily, JJ, and Mari alone in the room. JJ fixed Mari's hair and her own while Emily touched up her makeup. JJ turned and looked at her friend.

"You look Beautiful."

"Thanks." Emily said softly. Her mother came in at that moment and said it was time to start. JJ handed Mari her basket and sent her with Emily's mother to the garden to take her place. She and Emily started to walk out with her.

"Are you ready?" JJ asked her friend.

"I've never felt more ready for anything in my life." Emily replied. They hugged quickly, then headed out to the garden's where Emily's new life with Hotch and Jack was about to begin.
