I DO NOT OWN CRIMINAL MINDS OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS! I do own Matt though!

Who was she kidding? Emily said, "Yes. Yes I'll marry you."

Hotch smiled and got up and slipped the ring on her finger and then gave her a small delicate, but passionate, kiss.

The next morning the trio headed out to the notary, all wanting to the paperwork done as soon as possible so they could all get past the awkwardness.

They headed into the building where David Rossi's lawyers and private notaries worked. Leave it to Dave to have a law firm.

All three stepped into the building to find a young brunette women sitting in the front desk. "Can I help you, all?" She asked

"Yeah, David Rossi told us we could come here. We need to see a notary." Hotch said

The women typed something and quickly nodded and said, "Of course. Just walk all the way down and make a turn to the right."

All three nodded and walked the way she said in silence. Once they got there they all felt their heads spinning.

John couldn't stop wondering if it was the best thing. But he knew that it was the best. He knew that Matthew would off approved of what they were doing.

Emily felt shaky, what was happing a few days ago she received the son of her friend the only person that had been there when she needed someone. And know here she was changing the little boy's life once again. She felt bad for changing the little boy's parents like he were a toy or a play thing when he wasn't he was a little boy and innocent little boy.

Hotch was nervous he loved Emily and in the little time he spent with the little boy, and all Jack shattered on about him, he knew he cared about the little guy. But he was worried he felt that Emily was tense and even if she was wearing the ring he felt his stomach doing cartwheels, what if she changed her mind? Was all he could ask himself.

Once the notary walked in he took a seat and looked at all three of them for a while. He was a short chubby man. White, brown eyes and obviously was wearing a hair piece.

"So Ms. Prentiss you…" he began

"Agent Prentiss." Hotch corrected him

The man nodded and stared at Hotch for a while and then said, "Sorry. Agent Prentiss you would like to give your son's rights to… you sir, Aaron Hotchner?" He said looking at Hotch

Emily nodded and said, "Yes."

"Okay, for that you are asking John Cooley to give up the rights, correct?" He asked again

"Yes." Emily said,

"Okay. Mr. Cooley are you willing to give up the rights to your son? I will tell you this; no court will grand you custody after this. You wouldn't have the rights. Are you sure about this?" he said

John swallowed hard and opened his mouth to say anything but nothing would come out. He felt both Emily and Hotch's stair on him but he still could say anything.

"John?" Emily asked

"I understand." John said looking back at the notary.

The notary shook his head as if in disappointment but then looked back at Emily and said, "If you sign here, here, here and there. Mr. Cooley will be able to sign below you."

Emily nodded and reached over to the desk and signed the paper with a shaky hand and then passed it to John. John held the paper but also lowered to sign it. Then he handed the paper back to the notary.

The notary took them then grabbed a new file and said."Mr. Cooley you are free to go. You no longer have rights over your own son." He said it with disappointment and anger.

John couldn't trust his voice so he simply nodded and walked out. He couldn't stay in that room any longer.

Emily sighed it felt so much better not to have John in the same room as him.

The notary shook his head slightly which earned him a glare form Hotch. The notary then turned to Emily and said, "Are you sure you want to give the rights to your son over to… him. I mean you could keep them. You don't need to give them over to some stranger."

"Yes I'm sure. And he is no stranger. He is my fiancé." Emily defended Hotch who was trying to hold his anger in for Emily

"Fine." He said handing the papers to Emily and saying, "Sign in all the Xs. Then you… sir, sign below hers."

Emily sign as fast as she could then handed them to Hotch who too signed. Then Hotch basically tossed them at the notary.

"Thank you… sir." The notary said with disappointed towards Emily.

Once both Emily and Hotch got up to exit Emily turned back and said, "He is going to be a better father 'Mr. Cooley' ever would be. And I will be talking to David Rossi about your attitude." Then Emily slammed the door.

Once they were outside in the parking lot. John was standing next to his car and looking much better. As he saw them he walked up to them and he said, "I'm leaving. My plane leaves in about three hours but airports want you there early, for commercial flights. Bye Em. Bye Agent Hotchner. Em, take care of him and if he asks tell him I'll try to make it for Christmas… Well if that's okay with you?"

Emily quickly nodded and John continued, "Then Christmas it is. I can't say bye to him in person. It would kill me to say bye. Just tell him I'll see him and if you don't mind I'll call. Well I'm off." He said hugging Emily and then shaking hands with Hotch who simply nodded and then he said, "Well congratulations." He said motioning towards the ring.

Once Emily blushed he smiled and said, "It's good. Be happy. I'll see you."

"Bye. Thank you." Emily called out as he got on his car.

Once John was nowhere in sight Hotch leaned down and kissed Emily and then said, "What about, we head to work the take the afternoon off and have a day with the boys?"

Emily smiled, this was the ending to one sad story but it was the begging of a new happy life with Aaron Hotchner.
