A/N: Shout out to criminalmindsrocks and fishtrek for reviewing chapter 25

This is the last chapter that takes place four years and four months after Serilda, Kalina, and Xander were born and I hope that everyone approves the reason why Emily didn't work for seven months between Coda and Proof.


Four years and four months later

Spencer looked at his wife of nearly five years as they got ready for bed so they would be well-rested for JJ's and Will's wedding, "When I heard Clyde offer you that job on speakerphone, I want you to take it," said Spencer.

"What about you and the kids? Would we take turns flying across the pond every other weekend off and every holiday so I can see the kids?" asked Emily.

Spencer shook his head, "When it comes to my stress-related migraines, Dr. Arthur Malcolm escaping prison before murdered my parents before committing suicide last year on February 22nd, you being diagnosed with breast cancer two days after the funeral causing you to take seven months off of work for treatment and building your strength back up for the field, a tornado almost killing me when we were on a case in Oklahoma last November, you getting shot in the arm, and you almost being blown up twice today I felt like working for the F.B.I. isn't for me anymore."

"Then why didn't you resign after your parents died?" asked Emily.

"After taking 14-weeks off so I could spend 14-weeks with the kids during their summer vacation and you were finishing off treatment, kids told me to return to the B.A.U. when you got the all-clear to work again," said Spencer as he took his wife's hand and gave Emily his famous puppy-dog eye look, "If you accept the promotion that Clyde Easter offered you, I'll work at the Imperial College and be a consultant at Interpol when I'm not teaching."

"Did Clyde talk you into talking me into working for Interpol after I went back to help with the hostage situation?" asked Emily.

Spencer nodded, "He offered to pull strings to get me to teach at any college I want as long as I consult for Interpol too."

Emily shook her head as she thought about the lecture she would be giving Clyde about manipulating her husband into manipulating her, "You would sacrifice your life here for me?" asked Emily.

"We'll be married for five years next week Friday, and we vowed to each other that we would be there for each other whenever good or bad events comes into our life," said Spencer before taking his wife's hand, "I'm willing to sacrifice my happiness here so you can work your dream job at Interpol since you sacrificed your life when Benjamin Cyrus held us captive."

"Then let's move to London and hopefully the kids won't be too angry," said Emily.

Spencer laughed as he ran a hand through his wife's hair that was growing back quickly during the past eight months since Emily was told that she was in remission, "I think they'll like the idea of us moving to London because of how much fun they had during the trip to London we went on to celebrate you being in remission."

At that moment there were four different types of knocks sounding on their bedroom door.

"I bet you a stripping show that Declan, Serilda, Kalina, and Xander have been listening outside our bedroom door," whispered Spencer.

Emily laughed, "Come on in, guys."

A few seconds later 11-year-old Declan, and four-year-old triplets Serilda, Kalina, and Xander entered their parents' bedroom.

"Were you four listening to your father's and my conversation?" asked Emily sternly.

Declan nodded, "We did since we were worried about the hostage situation you two just helped out with today."

"Either way, it wasn't polite to eavesdrop," said Emily.

"I know. I'm sorry mom. I'm sorry dad," said Declan.

Serilda who looked like a female version of her father gave her parents her puppy-dog eyes, "I'm sorry, daddy. I'm sorry, mommy."

Kalina who looked like a replica of her mother looked at her parents, "I'm sorry."

Xander who was a replica of his father gave his parents his best puppy-dog eyes as he pushed up his glasses, "I'm sorry, mommy. I'm sorry, daddy."

Declan looked at his adoptive parents, "Are we going to move to London?" asked Declan.

"Would you four be OK if we move to London so I can work at Interpol while your father works at the Imperial College?" asked Emily.

"Even though I'll miss my friends here, I like the idea of playing lacrosse in London while I get to explore parts we didn't see when we vacationed there," said Declan.

Spencer looked at Serilda, Kalina, and Xander who all enjoyed attending Nysmith School for the Gifted in Herndon, Virginia, "Even though you three would have to leave Nysmith School for the Gifted in Herndon, Virginia what do you three think about the six of us moving to London?" asked Spencer.

Kalina thought about one of the books she read about education in London, "Even though British kids our age will start reception in September, would we still get to be challenged like we are at the Nysmith school?" asked Kalina.

"I know, but your father and I would send you three and Declan to the American School in London where they'll make sure to challenge you three," said Emily.

Kalina who is already an avid swimmer and loves to horseback ride grinned, "Then I'm in on moving to London especially since we'll get to see the Summer Olympics."

Serilda who loved science liked her father and enjoyed her trip to the Science Museum in London grinned, "I like the idea of moving to London because we'll get to visit The Science Museum more often."

"Which we will," said Spencer before looking at his biological son, "What do you think about moving to London, Xander?" asked Spencer.

Xander nervously moved his glasses up the bridge of his nose, "I like the idea of getting to see the places that deal with Sherlock Holmes and King Arthur."

"Then we'll be moving to London on May 31st so I can start my new job on June 4th," said Emily.

Declan, Serilda, Kalina, and Xander cheered.


Two weeks later Spencer was doing physics magic in the bullpen as a send-off for him and Emily before he, Emily, Declan, Serilda, Kalina, and Xander bid their farewells to Hotch, Rossi, Gideon, Morgan, JJ, and Garcia so they could catch their flight to London on the private jet that Interpol arranged for them.

~The End~


A/N: I'll be writing a non-chronological series that explores the first four years and four months of Spencer's and Emily's life with Declan, Serilda, Kalina, and Xander since I need to include various moments from the first four years and four months of Serilda's, Kalina's, and Xander's lives.
