A few weeks later
Emily is in her office frantically looking for something when she hears someone enter.
Emily(irritated): Rossi. I'm fine. Just a little nauseous. But I'm not in the mood for-(she looks up to see it's not Rossi) Spence!
(They embrace)
Emily: How are you? What are you doing here?
Reid: Good. I'm good. (Sees Emily is crying and immediately becomes concerned)How are you?
Emily: Fine. I'm just a hormonal mess right now.
Reid: Hormones? Emily are you pregnant?
Internally Emily winces-this is the 3rd time this week someone has asked that. Externally though she just scoffs-chuckles and points to her grey hair.
Emily: No. That's impossible. I'm just going through menopause and it's kicking my ass.
Reid: Right. (Briefly pauses) Although, you know it's not impossible to conceive during menopause. About 5 in 100 women over age 50 still get pregnant naturally. Until you are post menopausal, pregnancy is still a possibility. Also, many people particularly those with vitamin and mineral deficiencies can experience premature grey hair even in their early 20s. So going grey is in a no way a factor in-
Emily is quick to jump off this conversation train.
Emily: You never told me why you're here.
Reid: Oh, I wanted to invite you to a conference I'll be speaking at next month. The topic I'm speaking on is one I think would be beneficial to the BAU as a whole, but particularly in your case being the chief. And I missed you all. Thought I'd come in say hi and ask you in person.
Emily: I think I can speak for all of us when I say we have missed you too. And I will try my best to come. Now. Have you visited anyone else?
Reid shakes his head no
Reid: I came here first.
Emily: Would you like an escort to see Garcia?
Reid: That would be great.
