Unforgettable Nights, Unforgivable Mistakes

Chapter 28: My Love, My Life and My Soul

A/N First of all I want to apologize for the long delay on posting to this story of to any of the other stories. It has definitely been a rough path for me the last couple of weeks. It is officially my last semester before graduation so I am busier than I ever been, also my mom is here finally after ten years so a lot of my time if being going to her lately. I also had a family loss at the beginning of the month so its been a super hard month. I will try to write as time allows it. I have not forgotten about the stories and I do plan on finishing this stories, it just takes me time due to everything going on.

Emily work up from her peaceful slumber and was so comfortable she tried to remember what had woken her up. Her entire mind was in a fog, and she was very tired; in fact, she was exhausted, but she didn't know why. As her mind became clearer, the images of the previous night became more lucid as well.

It was then she felt the heavy arm snaked around her naked frame, the intoxicating manly smell filled her nostrils, and she fully remembered what had happened last night. Aaron had come over to her house to speak with her about Bay, and they had an intense fight, followed by a declaration of love. He had told her that he still loved her, even after everything that had happened. Aaron had told her that she has the love of his life and he wanted nothing more than to be with her for the rest of his life. He even asked for forgiveness for all the pain he had caused her. She then remembered his mouth assaulting her passionately, they undressed each other in a rush and they let passion overtake them with very rough and passionate love making (several times).

They talked a lot in between…he had never said so many sweet words to her, he had never been so gentle and so loving. She was still having trouble taking in everything he had said the night before, because it was, of course, difficult to picture the man who had supposedly loved her for the past seven years to open himself up to her like this. For him to tell her she was the most amazing and divine creature that had happened to him in life was truly unbelievable. She loved this side of Aaron, though…the sweet and passionate man who acted as if she was the most stunning and beautiful woman on earth. Her entire body was still sore from their love making, but a small smile spread across her face. She felt his breath become steadier, which meant he was awake, and he gently tightened his hold on her and pulled her closer to him, nuzzling his face and lips against her neck and trailing wet kisses against her bare skin. He knew she was awake; he smiled and wrapped his arms around her even tighter, remembering the night before…remembering their love making, the way her lips felt against his skin, the way she whispered his name while he was making love to her, the way she arched her back moaning his name over and over while her orgasm overtook her. He had never enjoyed intimacy so much with any other woman on earth, Emily was simply the woman of his dreams, the woman he would love for the rest of his life no matter what.

Aaron kept trailing wet kisses against her neck and nibbling on her skin, and she finally chuckled and grasped his hands in hers.

"Good morning, beautiful." He whispered against her ear gently.

"Morning." Emily replied turning in his arms so she was facing him and looking at him with sleepy eyes.

He captured her mouth in a long and passionate kiss, wrapping his arms around her waist and flipping them on the bed so she was beneath him. He continued his assault on her mouth, until she pulled away gently.

"Aaron, wait…" She replied, pulling away to stop him from beginning another round.

"Aaron, stop…wait, please…" She said again, more firmly. He stopped what he was doing, looking at her confused.

"What's wrong?" He asked in a soft tone, looking at her intensely.

"Don't you think we should talk?" Emily said hesitantly.

"I thought we did last night." Aaron replied, putting a strand of her messy hair behind her ear gently.

"We mostly made love, Aaron." She said, looking at him seriously.

"Oh, wait, so you are complaining? You know you sounded very happy last night." He teased. Emily blushed lightly and laughed as she gently slapped his chest playfully.

"I'm serious." She said, more firmly.

"Okay, fine, what do you want to talk about?" He asked in a firm tone.

"About how I love you so much that I can barely function anymore? About how I'm willing to do anything it takes to win your forgiveness? About how sorry I am for every single minute I lost being with you because I was being a fool. And not having you in my arms? About how you are absolutely the most beautiful woman on earth and the love of my life?" He said, with sentiment pouring from his eyes firmly onto her.

"Why now, Aaron? Why all of this now after everything that's happened?" She hesitated, she hated to sound so unsecure, but she couldn't stop herself.

"Because I couldn't stop myself any longer, Em…because I love you so much it hurts; because I realized no matter what happens, I'll never stop loving you, and because I don't want to waste any more seconds away from you. Because Bay made me realize you only get one chance in life, and this is my last chance to win you back, to win Bay back."

"What about work, what about Strauss? I mean, these are things we need to discuss." She cut him off again.

"Emily, I don't give a damn about Strauss, or the BAU rules, I wasted almost a decade of my life running away from my feelings, pushing away what I felt for you because of the stupid rules and what I thought was right. I don't care anymore, I can quit and find another job…all I know is I want you, and I'll do whatever it takes to win your heart again. You are it for me, Em. You are the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. You and Bay, and I will give everything I have and everything that I am to win you back." When he was finished talking, she had tears in her eyes.

"I don't know what to say…so much has happened." She answered honestly.

"Em, I'm not saying everything is going to be perfect from now on; I'm not saying that everything that happened in the past is erased now. All I'm saying is give me a chance. I know we both have a lot of issues to work out still; we both need to heal and learn to trust each other fully. I'm not stupid, and I know it will take awhile before we get to a good place again, but I don't want to miss another day without you." When he finished talking, he gently leaned forward and captured her mouth in a sweet kiss.

"Give me a chance to fix all the mistakes I made...give me a chance to win your heart back and prove to you that I love you more than anything in this world...give me a chance to make you happy." Emily smiled as a single tear rolled down her cheek, and Aaron gently wiped it away with his thumb.

"All I know is that I want you and my daughter, and I'll give my life for both of you…to repair it all."

"I love you, Em, I'm so sorry for being such a coward and not admitting it sooner, I love you…I love you more than life itself."

"I love you, too." She said, as more tears rolled down her cheeks. Aaron leaned forward again and captured her mouth in a kiss.

They kissed lazily for a while until their kisses became heated and passionate. He was right about something, things still needed to be worked out, but she couldn't hide her love from him anymore, and to be honest, she was tired of not being happy anymore and of this stupid fight; she wanted to be happy again, she wanted her little fairy tale again.

His hand reached between her thighs, stroking her sensitive parts and sliding his fingers around and into her wet core. Emily whimpered in his mouth and stroked his erection and felt it become harder than steel while placing him at her entrance. He slowly slid inside her, as she arched her back and moaned when his hard as steel erection filled her she could feel him touching every part of her inside. They made passionate love a few more times before they got out of bed and showered together, then finally got dressed and headed back to the hospital to see their daughter.

By the time they arrived at the hospital it was about ten in the morning. Elizabeth had already helped Bay take a shower and fed her breakfast. When Emily and Aaron walked into the room together, the Ambassador did not need to be a profiler to know what had happened between them, she knew her daughter better than anyone in this world. Elizabeth still hated Aaron Hotchner more than anything in the world especially for all the pain and suffering he had caused Emily, but she also knew that it was Emily's decision what to do with him and her life, and she could see in her eyes how much Emily loved him, and whatever happened last night had obviously changed her mind completely. The spark in her eyes was evident, and her eyes were glowing.

Bay immediately squealed when she saw both of her parents walking in.

"Mommy…" "Daddy…" "I thought you forgot about me." Bay said, pouting.

Emily laughed and picked her up from the bed, hugging her tightly to her; she really did not like leaving Bay alone for the night especially in the hospital, and while she trusted her mom with her life, it really wasn't the same.

"Oh, good morning, my little angel, I missed you tons." Emily said, filling her little girl's face with kisses and tickling her. After a few minutes, she finally let Aaron take her from her arms so he could say good morning to her as well.

"Good morning, my little princess." Aaron said, smiling widely and hugging Bay close to him.

"I'm sorry we took so long, Mom, we had to take care of a few things." Emily said, blushing lightly.

"It's okay, dear, I hope you got everything worked out. If it's okay with you, I'm going home to shower and make some calls, but I'll come back later."

"It's okay, mom, you don't need to come back. I'm staying here the rest of the day. Thank you for everything."

"I really don't want you to be alone, Emily."

"She won't be alone, Ambassador, I'm staying with her until Bay is released." Aaron said firmly.

'Thank you, Agent Hotchner." The ambassador said firmly, glaring at Hotch.

"You don't have to thank me, Bay is my daughter and Emily is the love of my life. I'm just doing my job." He said, walking closer to Emily with Bay still in his arms and wrapping his free arm around Emily's waist. Emily tensed a little, the last thing she wanted to do was have a confrontation between Aaron and her mom.

"Aaron, please." Emily warned softly.

"Please what, Emily, I'm not afraid to tell anyone how I feel about you, and although I made mistakes, I'm willing to do anything to fix those mistakes, but I'm not hiding what I feel for you any longer." He said firmly, and Emily smiled internally.

"That is very laudable, Agent Hotchner, I admire a man that can stand up for his mistakes and own up to them." She walked up to Bay giving her a kiss as she said goodbye to them and walked out of the room.

"Aaron." Emily turned to him, she knew he was trying, but she also wanted to make sure things were handled carefully.

"What Em? I've already told you I'm not going to hide how I feel for you any longer, no matter what anyone thinks. I'll do anything it takes to fix my mistakes, Em, anything, is that clear?" He asked firmly, but sweetly. Emily smiled and nodded and Aaron leaned down and captured her mouth in a sweet passionate kiss, until they were interrupted by their little girl squealing again.

"Ewwww…that is so disgusting." Bay said, scrunching her face. They both laughed and Aaron turned to her smiling.

"Can you do Daddy a favor and think that way for the next thirty years?" He asked with pleading eyes.

Emily laughed and leaned down to kiss Bay on the cheek again with a big grin on her face.

They spent most of the morning watching films and playing games with Bay; it had been a very long time since Aaron was this happy and laughing. Every minute, he fell more in love more with Bay, with her sweet innocent face, with her cuteness and how smart she was. They even played a children's version of monopoly, a game he found at the gift shop. Once again, he was mesmerized at Bay's intelligence and her ability to win every single game on the road but also to trick both Emily and Aaron and getting away with winning each time. He had a great time though, it was his first real family time with the woman he loved and his daughter, and they laughed so much; every now and then, he leaned down capturing Emily's lips in a kiss. Later that afternoon they ordered lunch from the cafeteria and ate together as a family. He was so happy and most importantly, he loved to see Emily and Bay smiling the way they did. It was such a joyful feeling for him.

Around six o'clock that evening, Dr. Bergman walked into the room and smiled at the sight of the happy family, for more than anyone, he had witnessed how much agony the family had been through.

"Good evening." He said, smiling.

"Good Evening, Dr. Bergman." Emily said, smiling at him. Aaron turned to greet him.

"How is everyone doing today?" He asked everyone in a cheerful tone.

"Everything is great, Bay has been doing very well." Emily replied happily, looking at her daughter who had now recovered her alabaster but blushed pink skin, and who looked happier than Emily had ever seen her.

"Is that right, Bay? How are you feeling, sweetie?" Dr. Bergman asked, walking towards Bay and gently sitting next to her on the bed.

"I'm okay, do you think I can eat chocolate ice cream soon? My tummy doesn't feel achy anymore?" Bay asked, eliciting giggles from everyone in the room.

"Well, I'm sure we can work around that, I just need to do a quick check up on you, alright?" Bay nodded gently, and stood very quietly and firmly while Dr. Bergman performed his check up on her, surprising both Emily and Aaron how well-behaved she was being in front of the doctors.

"It looks like everything is very good with you, Bay, so I think it's okay if you have some chocolate ice cream." He said, smiling widely as Bay clapped and screamed happily in the bed.

Then, he turned to Emily and Aaron with the best news a parent could receive about their sick child.

"Bay looks in excellent condition; her results for the test on the blood count were turned in this morning her blood levels are back to normal." He smiled widely.

"What does that mean?" Emily asked, feeling a knot in her stomach; she had a little idea what it meant but she wanted to be sure.

"It means her blood levels are right where they should be, and Bay has been put in remission and you can take her home tomorrow." He said. Emily gasped and brought her hands to her mouth, unable to utter anymore words. Aaron pulled her into a hug, smiling widely and wiping her happiness tears.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Bergman, for everything you did for Bay. I'll never be able to pay you enough for saving my daughter's life." Emily said, tears pouring down her face.

Dr. Bergman approached her and grabbed her hand gently.

"Miss Prentiss, you don't have to thank me, I'm just doing my job; besides. I'm not the one who saved her, you should thank him." He said, looking at Aaron warmly.

After the doctor said goodbye to all of them and he had left, Emily stood there crying pulling Aaron to her for a hug.

"Thank you so much, Aaron, I'll never be able to pay you for saving my daughter, thank you." She said as she cried and let all her pent up motions out, and he pulled her closer to him.

"She is my daughter, too, well she is our daughter, and it was the least I could do for you guy." Aaron said, wiping her eyes and kissing her passionately.

"Now what?" Emily asked, looking at him with teary eyes.

"Now, we go home with our daughter and try to recover the time we spent away from each other, and we try to do anything in our ability to make her happy; it's not everyday we get a second chance in life." Aaron said, smiling widely and taking her face in his hands. Emily leaned down and kissed him passionately, that was, until they were interrupted again.

"Ewwwww, can you stop…kissing is gross, and get my chocolate ice cream, please." Bay protested from the bed and they both laughed loudly.

Aaron smiled and pulled both his girls into his arms, he couldn't be luckier. Bay was completely healed, Emily had forgiven him and while there was still to work to do on their relationship, they were finally together and Aaron had vowed to do whatever it took to make them happy. For now, he was on a chocolate ice cream mission.
