FBI Headquaters
Quantico, Virginia
BAU Bullpen
Adrienne sat at her desk doing paper work. The roses still there and still very much in bloom. Her morning coffee next to the vase, still untouched. Her stomach just wasn't up for coffee at the moment. And the half empty package of Peanut Butter Oreos opened next to that. She didn't notice everyone starting to gather around the center of the bullpen. She didn't notice that there was someone standing behind her. A gentle hand came down on her shoulder. She jumped a little, and spun the chair around quickly. "Jesus Christ, Hotch."
"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you."
She looked around at the whole of the BAU standing around her desk. "Okay guys, what's going on?" Everyone just stood around and grinned. "Seriously guys this isn't funny… What the hell is going on?"
"You'll find out. I'll be back in a moment. Don't let anything happen," Hotch said as he climbed the steps back to his office.
Sean sat on the leather chair in his brother's office staring at the box in his hand.
"Hey, Sean, you gonna do this?"
"What if she says no?"
"You seriously think she would" Come on, before she freaks out."
Hotch emerged from his office, and began back down the steps. "Ade, you need to close your eyes."
"Hotch, I hate surprises." She closed her eyes. "This is really cheesy. Come on guys couldn't you just tell me what's going on? This isn't funny!"
"It's not meant to be funny," a voice whispered in her ear.
She opened her eyes. "Sean…" She looked him over. "Look at you…. Slacks, dress shirt, no tie of course. So why so dressy? What's the occasion?"
"Well, uhm, this." He paused and took a deep breath. "Adrienne, I love you. I'm pretty sure I have since the day I met you. You make me laugh like fool, and forget how to breath sometimes. You're the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning, and the last thing before I fall asleep every night, and I know I've asked you this question before, and you're answer was yes last time. Please let it be yes again." He knelt down in front of her and opened the small box in his hand. "I love you. Please Adrienne, marry me?"
She stared at him for a moment. "Get up. Get up off the goddamn floor, you idiot." She watched as he stood up. She cradled is face and stared at him teary eyed, and nodded. "Yes. Yes, yes, yes. A thousand times over yes!"
Sean slid the ring on her finger, then turned around and looked at his brother, who was smiling. "I'm getting married!...Dude, are you smiling?"
"Yeah, Sean, I'm actually smiling. I'm for the two of you. You're made for each other."
"Thanks for letting me have her. I'll take good care of her."
"You always have, Sean, and you're gonna make a great father."
"Hotch," Adrienne interjected, "Thank You. Now can I have your brother back for like five seconds."
"What for?" Sean asked with a smirk.
"So I can do this." She leaned up and cupped his face and kissed him passionately. He lifted his hand and ran his fingers through her hair and returned the kiss.
The whole team clapped and cheered.
