Epilogue
Ordinary Day
Just a day,
Just an ordinary day.
Just trying to get by.
-Vanessa Carlton
Two weeks later Emily was back at the BAU, after she found a daycare to send Elizabeth to and having gotten over Jetlag, of course she was now in the desk next to Reid. When he asked what daycare they sent Elizabeth to and he then followed up his question with every daycare related murder spree in the country. As if it wasn't bad enough that she spent every waking moment worrying about Lizi.
"Reid, could you please stop it?" Emily finally asked.
"Stop what?" Reid frowned.
"With the daycare related homicide, I'm worried enough about her, there are fifteen other children in the nursery after all, this is the last thing I need." She pleaded.
"Oh, sorry. I just thought you should know what to look out for." He frowned and bent over his pile of paperwork.
"No, I really don't want to know what to look out for because then I'll start seeing it everywhere." She sighed and rolled her chocolate eyes.
"Leave her alone, Spence." JJ said, sitting at the desk across from Emily. "I know how annoying that can be. The day I put Henry in daycare I got that lecture, too."
"Does he ever stop?" She asked.
"Nope, just wait until you hear the one on preschool shootings." JJ shook her head. "I don't know where he gets this from because a few of them are from before he was born."
"I know; I've heard them all." Emily shuddered, getting up to go get some coffee.
She walked into the break room and found Derek talking to Garcia; the two stopped talking when she walked in. She froze. "What?"
"Nothing, nothing." Garcia said.
"O-okay then." She turned and left, walking back to her desk, she sat down and sighed.
"Everything okay?" JJ asked.
"Derek and Garcia stopped talking when I got to the break room." She frowned.
"Oh, well I'm sure it's nothing." JJ dismissed.
"Well? Are you going to propose to her?" Garcia pushed, Derek sighed.
"Yes I am but I can't do that until we find someone to watch Elizabeth." He sighed.
"I'll do it, tonight at seven, JJ and I already made you two reservations." She said.
"You what?" He asked.
"Oh my God! How could you not notice? JJ and I have been trying to set you two up for six years, and now it's finally working! I'll see you at seven." She turned and stalked off.
"Penelope!" He called but it was too late she was gone.
That night at seven he could tell Emily was stressed out. She'd typed twenty pages of detailed instructions on what to do in the event of an emergency and another ten on the bedtime routine. He was starting to worry that Emily was going to be one of those helicopter moms who never let their kid do anything.
By the time they had ordered their food Emily was nervously checking her phone and picking at her nails. "Emily, babe, calm down she's fine."
"B-but what if she's crying o-or she wants me to cuddle with her." Emily whimpered looking at him and biting her lip. "Or –"
"Marry me." He cut her off.
She froze. "I-I'm sorry?"
"Emily Prentiss, I want you to marry me." He said with an air of confidence in his voice which failed to be on the inside.
"Is that a request?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Only if you say yes." He smirked.
"Well then I guess you're my fiancé." Derek smiled and leaned over the table to kiss her, but stopped short and frowned when she placed a finger to his lips.
"But we have to leave now. It's eight and my baby needs me." She smiled a she led her out the door.
Okay so you can thank RealMe07 for the kissing the end, she's awesome with this story.
