One week later

"Emily, are you sure you're going to be okay? I can always come home early," Reid said as he passed Beatrix to Emily. Emily kissed Beatrix's nose playfully before turning to Reid.

"Spencer, things will be fine. Go and talk with Gideon. Stay at his house as long as you want, I know how long you two can talk for. I remember walking past your motel room years ago and hearing you two at three in the morning. It will be good for you to go and talk with him. Beatrix and I are going to have a nice little evening before her bedtime," Emily said before turning to Beatrix and smiling. "Yes, we will."

Beatrix let out a small baby giggle before laying against Emily's shoulder. Reid stepped forward and kissed Beatrix on the forehead before moving up and giving Emily a loving kiss. "I'll be back later. Love you."

"Love you too," Emily grinned before kissing him back.

A few hours later

"Your chess game has certainly improved," Gideon chuckled as he moved his bishop to defend his King. Reid stared at the board and let out a small grin. He moved one of his pieces causing a frown to appear on Gideon's face.

"Checkmate," Reid said before leaning back in his chair.

"How did I not see that?" Gideon said as a small tugged at his lips.

"Old age may have finally caught up with you," Reid smirked.

"Spencer, I may be older but my mind is still sharp," Gideon said. "Remember, respect your elders. How is Beatrix?"

"She's fine, she is spending some quality time with Emily," Reid said as he leaned back in his chair and picked up his tea. "Emily couldn't wait to get me out of the house. She loves spending time with Beatrix. She keeps buying her all these clothes and toys, I'm running out of space to put them all."

Gideon was about to speak when Reid's phone began to ring. Searching his pocket, he found his phone and answered it.

"Spencer speaking."

Gideon watched as Reid's face fell into one of horror.

Emily - Fifteen minutes later

Emily felt something tug at her as she slept, something that tugged her from her peaceful sleep. Her heart began to beat faster as she heard a voice come from the baby monitor, a female voice that she recognised all too well.

'There is my little girl.'

Emily threw away the covers and raced to the nursery as silently as she could, she arrived at the door to find Callie leaning over Beatrix's crib. Racing forward, she quickly grabbed the back on Callie's jacket and pulled her away from the crib, she pulled on the jacket and threw her out of nursery. Callie collided against a nearby bookshelf but Callie quickly regained her composure. Emily cursed herself for not having her gun. She didn't keep it near her when she was around the baby.

"Stay away from her!" Emily said angrily as she stood in front of the door of the nursery. "Stay away from my daughter."

"Don't tell me what to do!" Callie spat back. "SHE ISN'T YOUR DAUGHTER, SHE'S MINE!"

"No, she isn't! You are just some sadistic bitch who has no place in her life," she said. "She has a good home here. I won't let you take her."

"Try and stop me," Callie smiled. "I'm going to enjoy killing you. Spencer wouldn't come back to me because of you. He's mine. I cared for him those two years. He was soft when I touched him. I loved running my hands over his body. I'm getting my daughter back and then I'm getting him back. We'll be happy together. We are soul mates, you are nothing but his whore."

"I love him and he loves me. He has a good life now. I won't let you take him and her away," Emily said as she readied herself to fight.

"Elena is my baby, I'm going to teach her how to be a good girl," Callie smirked. "After I kill you, I'm going to bring her in here to see your bloody corpse."

"Her name is Beatrix!" Emily shouted at her.

Callie brought out her blade and charged forward, Emily dodged the blade as Callie attacked. Grabbing Callie's arm up, she twisted it till Callie dropped the blade. Emily let out a small yelp of pain as Callie backhanded her across the face. Quickly releasing Callie's arm, she grabbed her hair and shirt and threw her into the coffee table, a loud crash filling the room as it broke. Callie moaned as she felt glass enter her skin. Emily crashed to the floor as Callie kicked her in the knee. She hissed as she fell next to Callie, small sharp pieces of glass hitting her skin. Emily felt Callie climb on top of her and wrap her hands around her throat. Smashing her elbows in Callie's arms, she thrust her head into her nose.

"Bitch!" Callie screamed as she felt her nose break, blood poured down from it. Emily brought her fist into Callie's stomach causing her to fall back. Crawling forward, Emily grabbed the knife before turning around to face Callie. She screamed as she felt something sharp enter her stomach. Callie smiled as she pushed the shard of glass into Emily's stomach. Summoning her strength, Emily brought the knife up and plunged it into Callie's chest. Falling away, pulling the glass out of Emily's stomach as she did, blood began to pour out of Callie's mouth.

Emily watched as Callie fell to the floor, the eyes of the woman who had abused Reid became still and dead. She brought her hand to her stomach and found it covered in blood. Beatrix's cry pierced the air causing Emily to focus again, she climbed to her feet unsteadily and tried to walk to the nursery but fell to the floor. She brought her hand away from her stomach to find it covered in blood. She jumped as the front door to the apartment opened.

Reid

Reid rushed forward as he saw Emily on the floor while Gideon rushed into the nursery and picked up Beatrix. Reid brought Emily onto his lap as he sat down next to her, he ripped off his jacket and pressed it to her stomach causing her to moan in pain. He didn't look at Callie, he couldn't.

"Gideon, call an ambulance!" Reid shouted. Gideon called back that he already was.

"H-heard her on the baby monitor," Emily breathed.

"I should have been here," Reid panicked as he held Emily.

"D-Don't s-start with that," she warned him. "I h-had to protect her. I protected her from Callie. I wasn't g-going to let her h-hurt my daughter. She wanted you, wanted to hurt you."

"You protected Beatrix," Reid nodded as he struggled to control his worry. He brought away the jacket and found that blood had soaked into it. "Where is the damn ambulance?!"

Six hours later

Emily awoke, she felt groggy and tired but she pushed past it. She felt something in between her arm and side, it was moving. Opening her eyes, she smiled as she saw Beatrix nestled by her side, her arm placed around her protectively. "Hey, little one."

"She wouldn't settle until I put her next to you," Reid said as he moved his chair further up the bed. He leaned up and kissed Emily on the forehead. "I'm so happy you are okay."

"How long have I been out for?" she asked.

"About six hours. Try not to move too much. You lost a large amount of blood when she stabbed you. I haven't let Beatrix out of my sight since Gideon gave her to me. Thank you so much for protecting her," Reid said as he looked at Beatrix. Emily ignored the pain in her stomach and brought Beatrix onto her chest and held her close.

"I'll never let anyone hurt her," Emily said before she kissed Beatrix's hair. Beatrix cooed happily as she was held. "I love you, little peanut."

"Callie can't ever hurt her, all thanks to you. You did what any mother would have done."

"Spencer, I love her and I think of her as my daughter. I just hope you are okay with that," Emily said. "I don't want to push my boundaries."

"Emily, she is your daughter as far as I'm concerned and you are her mother. You protected her today and took away the biggest threat to her. I don't want to think about what Callie could have done if she had taken Beatrix. My skin crawls just knowing that she was in the nursery. JJ called me and told me that Callie had escaped, someone had helped her get out. They hadn't known for hours, not until they checked her cell. I just raced for the apartment. Emily, thank you so much for protecting my daughter. Our daughter," he smiled.

"I like calling her little peanut," Emily laughed gently. "Callie is gone now. We can all move on.

She enjoyed laughing. She knew her face had bruises on it and her skin had been cut, the wound to her stomach would scar and she would need a few days to recover but she didn't care about that. All she cared about was the little girl in her arms. Her little peanut.
