Emily had cried the whole plane ride home. JJ and Morgan had both asked her, several times, what was wrong, but she just shrugged them off and stared out the window.

It was only a couple minutes till landing when Rossi sat next to her on the couch. She looked up when he laid a hand on her knee, and shook her head. "Don't ask what's wrong. I'm fine."

Rossi nodded, letting his hand slowly come off her knee. "You know someone once told me that the word 'fine' meant fucked up."

He smiled when she let out a throaty chuckle, and turned back to him. "It's just… Danny called me last night, and he had a nightmare like he usually does. I asked if he wanted to talk about it, but he said he just wanted to sleep next to me."

Rossi moved a little closer to Emily and put his arm around her shoulders, seeing her begin to choke up. "And then, he said I lied to him and he hated me." Emily shook her head as she wiped the tears falling down her cheeks. "I never heard him say anything like that before, and I cried all night because of it."

She turned her head to see Rossi nodding, and he pressed a small kiss to her cheek. "He's a kid Em, he'll probably great you with a big hug when he sees you."

Hotch waited with Danny and Jack outside their SUV, standing on the tar mat where the BAU plane had just landed. He looked down to see Jack smiling at everyone exiting the plane, Emily not yet seen. He then looked to Danny. He was holding his bear, but it was dangling by his side. He didn't have a smile on his face. He looked as if he was just staring straight past the plane.

When Emily walked off the plane, her go bag on her shoulder, Hotch smiled as Jack ran to her. Emily looked up from her feet and ran towards her son, falling to her knees before bringing him into a hug.

"I missed you mommy!"

Emily pulled back from her son's hug and smiled wide before kissing his forehead. "I missed you too sweetheart." She looked over his shoulder to see her husband and Danny.

Danny was just staring at her, nothing in his expression give away his feelings.

Emily picked up Jack and leveled him on her hip. "Ready to go home?"

"Yeah! Daddy said we could get pizza!"

Emily smiled as they walked over to the SUV, Jack hanging onto Emily's neck. When they made it to the door, Hotch gave Emily a kiss and a hug, before taking Jack and putting him in the car. She looked down at Danny, who was still staring at her.

She knelt down in front of him, smiling softly. "Hey baby."

Danny looked at his mother's face before waving at her slightly. He didn't say a word.

"Are you not going to talk to me?"

Danny nodded, Ralphie still hanging from his hand.

Emily gave him a watery smile before nodding. "I understand. But, can I talk to you? And give you a hug?"

Danny stood there for a moment before slowly walking to Emily, putting his arms around her shoulders. Emily smiled gratefully into his hair as she took his small body into her arms, her tears threatening to fall.

When she pulled back, Danny had the faintest of smiles on his face. She gave him a kiss on his forehead before smiling at him. "You ready to go home and have dinner, baby?"

Danny nodded, before Emily lifted him into her arms.
