PART V

Emily entered the bullpen on Tuesday morning with a smile on her face. She had spent the whole weekend and Monday at Hotch's apartment, going home just this morning to change for work. They had made it up for the lost time over and over, but they also spent a lot of time just cuddling on the couch, watching old movies and a marathon of Law and Order. They cooked together and ate at the dinner table with candles and red wine, saying it was like their first date.

They talked a lot about how their new relationship would affect their job and decided to just come clean to the Bureau and the team. They weren't young anymore and they had gone through so much on the past few years that it was just not worth it to keep sneaking around like a couple of teenagers. They wanted to be able to live their lives without worries, without having to take care to not get caught or being seen by anyone. They were grown up, house-owing, independent adults and they had the right to live their love without restrictions.

Also, they had Jack to consider. Jessica brought him home by Sunday evening and the boy had been delighted at the brunette's presence. Hotch had a talk with his sister-in-law while Emily played with the boy in his room and was surprised when she said that it was about time for him to do something about his feelings. She knew he liked the brunette more than a boss should like his subordinate. And she said that she was happy for him, that he deserved to be happy and she knew that her sister would want for him to find love again because that had been her last wish, for him to teach their son how to love.

Emily was in pure bliss. She had spent so much time trying to find the one. That man who would make everything be worth it. That man who would make her feel loved and wanted. That man with whom she would want to spend the rest of her life with. That man who would make her think about babies and a house with a white fence and a little dog. That man who would make her finally understand all those silly love songs. That man who would cause butterflies on her belly. That man who would make her feel alive.

She couldn't believe that she had finally found it. She had finally found the happiness she had always wanted. She had found the man of her dreams.

She tried to wipe off the stupid smile she had on her lips when she approached her desk but she couldn't. Looking up she saw that his office was closed and the lights were off. He had scheduled a meeting with Strauss first thing in the morning to communicate her about their situation. She asked if he was certain of that and he had said that he had waited nineteen years and he couldn't wait any other minute to tell the world she was his. And he was hers.

She cried.

She wasn't used to this type of things. She'd never dated a good man. She'd never dated a gentleman. She'd never dated a man who put her in first.

She couldn't contain the happiness she was feeling.

When she looked at her desk she let out a gasp followed by a laugh. "You can't be this interested in my personal life. You just can't". She said at the whole team that was gathered around her desk.

"C'mon, Sugarplum". Garcia said grinning, taking her hand.

"Where are we going?" She asked when she saw the team following them.

"To my sanctuary! It's the only room without cameras". Garcia said and she laughed. The team entered her office and she locked the door. "Okay peaches, spit out. How it was?"

She rolled her eyes. "What makes you think that I will tell you anything?"

"Because I will bug you until you spit out the beans. Now save us some time and tell us everything!" She said excitedly.

"Why you didn't go question Aaron? He got here way before me…" She asked trying to avoid the subject.

"Aaron?" JJ teased and everyone laughed. She rolled her eyes and looked down to hide her blush. Before anyone could tease her further there was a knock on the door.

"Garcia?" The deep voice of their Unit Chief came through the door. Morgan opened the door and gestured for him to get inside. He eyed everyone and fought against the smile that was threatening to leave his lips. "Care to tell me why my entire team is hidden here while we're full of paperwork and consults to do?"

"We are just talking Aaron. We're curious to know how your weekend was…" Dave said smiling.

"It was fantastic, thank you very much". He said bluntly and looked at his girlfriend. "We need to talk."

"Uh oh. This phrase isn't good princess…" Morgan said smirking to Emily's wide eyes.

She ignored everyone else in the room and focused on the man in front of her. "What did she say? She's angry, right? She fired you? No, she fired me? Do I have to look for a transfer? Are you breaking up with me…" She rambled nervous and he cut her off with a kiss.

"Could you shut up?" He asked pulling back. The couple completely forgot about the rest of the team who was watching the interaction attentively.

"What did she say Aaron?" She urged him.

"She's not happy. She said it was unprofessional and I should know better than get involved with a subordinate but I said to her that we don't choose these things. I offered to step down as Unit Chief to leave us as just colleagues…"

"No, Aaron, you can't!" She cut him off and tried to disentangle of his arms but he held her tighter.

"Listen to me, woman!" He pleaded her. "I'm not stepping down. She refused. But I would Emily, in a heartbeat. I already let this job to be over my marriage with Haley and I'm not making the same mistakes here. You and Jack are my first priority. With everything we passed through I learned that life is too short to let a job take the leads of what we can or cannot do. Especially when is nothing wrong, when is something that makes me so happy".

She smiled at him and leaned up on her tiptoes to kiss him. "So, what she decided?"

"Dave will do your evaluations from now on. She will keep a close eye on us on the next few weeks and on a case that she'll decide she'll accompany us on the field and see how I deal with things concerned to you". He answered her and saw her smile grew wider.

"So, we're okay?"

"We're okay".

"And no one is fired?"

"No one is fired".

"And we can be together?"

"For as long as we want which I hope will be forever…"

She grinned at him and linked her arms around his neck. "I love you!" She whispered before taking his lips with hers in a fierce kiss. The whole team watched dumbfounded at the new' couple exchange and smiled.

"I really thought it was just sex". Morgan said and the two dark-haired profilers parted laughing to look at the team.

"It was always more than sex". Hotch said.

"Exactly. And that's why we never did anything. If it was just sex it would be simple". Emily complemented.

"Oh my God, you two are so cute!" Garcia squealed clapping her hands. Suddenly she gasped with wide eyes. "Ohmygosh, imagine their babies! They'll be so gorgeous!"

"Whoa, power down Garcia!" Emily said quickly.

"Imagine a little Emily…" Hotch said ignoring her.

"Aaron!"

"What?" He asked innocently. "I want one".

"You'll have to put a ring on my finger first, buddy". She said pointing a finger to him.

"Old fashioned, aren't we?" He smiled, taking her finger and pressing a kiss on the tip. "You'll have your ring, sweetheart. Don't worry".

"Oh God, it'll be the wedding of the century!" Garcia said excitedly and the gang laughed.

Dave approached the couple and patted Hotch's back. "Congratulations man. I hope you know how lucky you are".

Hotch looked at Emily and smiled lovingly. "I know Dave. I know". She smiled back at him and kissed his jaw. "I love you, sweetheart". He whispered just for her to hear.

"I love you too, babe".
