A/N I'm back with another chapter I hope you guys enjoy!!!

The team had been called away on a case about a week later. It was a welcome distraction from the drama happening amongst the team.

The team all boarded in an awkward uncomfortable manner. Dave, Spencer, and Derek sitting a lot closer to each other.

Even talking case facts was strained. Everyone's replies were short and hurried. Spencer hadn't even spouted off any facts yet.

Hotch looked at Dave who had not been a party to any of the drama thus far. When asked why he hadn't thrown his two cents in his reply was short and to the point, "No use fighting a losing battle."

Even now Hotch didn't understand what he meant.

He was shaken from his thoughts upon hearing the beep indicating Penelope was coming through.

"What have you got baby girl?" Morgan asked.

Penelope smiled at him, "I dug into all the victims backgrounds and found that they all went to the same college and frequented most the same hangout spots. Not much but more than we knew."

"You are a goddess woman," Derek smiled

"So I've been told, love you Spencer..Garcie out," She said.

As soon as she logged off any semblance of normalcy was sucked from the room.

Hotch cleared his throat, "Ok when we land Morgan and Prentiss head to the latest crime scene see if anything was missed, Reid and Dave go meet with the ME, JJ and I will go set up shop."

The only noticeable change was Derek cutting his eyes at Emily. Good he wouldn't even look at her before.

He quickly turned away from her as if she was dirty to look at.

Spoke too soon.

Morgan And Prentiss

The car ride to the scene was eerily quiet except for Emily's soft sighs.

She finally spoke, "You may not believe me but I am so sorry. I never wanted nor expected any of this to happen."

When Derek didn't answer she looked away from him thinking that was the end of the one sided conversation.

Her heart gave an unexpected thump when she heard his voice.

"I'm not as upset with you as I am with JJ and Hotch. I can't hold you accountable for something that happened while you were not supposed to be in contact with any of us. No, I'm upset that they sat by and watched my bestfriend become severely depressed and lose her baby yet do nothing. I'm upset that they still haven't had the balls to talk to her. I'm hurt Emily...I'm hurt," he admitted.

"I will do everything in my power to make this better Derek," Emily promised.

Derek sighed, "I don't think you can Emily."

Dave And Reid

The pair had arrived early, as per usual, and were currently waiting for the M.E to arrive.

Being as though Rossi was one of the only two people on the team Spencer was really speaking with made him feel at ease.

"So how have you been kid?" Rossi asked

Spencer sighed and gave an honest answer, "Not good. I'm staying strong but seeing Emily is really unsettling. You know Penelope and I aren't really even mad at her. It's JJ and Hotch we're furious with. I'm not stupid either I know Hotch made Emily go with Derek to force them to talk, I saw it in his face. The only reason he didn't send me with JJ was because he honestly needed her at the station."

Rossi stared at him a minute taking in everything he'd just said. Maybe he did need to give a little input.

"Well you're all adults so I won't lecture you, but I will say to keep in mind that your wife is pregnant again. I think it would be wise to not stress out to much if possible," Rossi said with real concern.

Spencer shook his head yes even though he'd already taken that into consideration. Pen and the baby were his number one concern. This time would be better. He wasn't letting anyone get in the way of their happiness.

He looked at Rossi and decided he needed to be honest with him.

"Pen and I have been talking since Emily got back, Derek's on board with it and I think you have the right to know..."

Spencer was cut off as the M.E walked into the room.

"We'll talk later," Spencer spoke quickly.

Dave just stared wondering what could possibly be going on.

A/N ooooohhhhh this ominous ending
