Hey guys, I'm back. So in this chapter, Emily meets the 'team'. Enjoy and please, please, please review. Thanks in advance! By the way, if you like Elle, then I suggest you don't read this.

I tried to hold my breath until CBS gave me Criminal Minds, but I only lasted 15 seconds.

"Emily! Emily, I'm back," Aaron called as he arrived back to her apartment.

"Did you see anything that you liked?" Emily asked referring to the houses that they would soon be looking at.

"A few. Hey, remember how you said you wanted to meet my team?" He said changing subjects. "Well, one of them is organizing a barbeque at their house. Actually, remember Dave? You met him at the restaurant that we went to for lunch…"Aaron said trying to jog her memory.

"Oh, yeah! Of course. That Dave. Yeah, why?"

"Well it's actually his mansion that the barbeque is being held at. He invited everyone on the team and their significant others. Will you be my date?" He teased.

"Of course, sweetie. It is casual right?"

"Why wouldn't it be darling? It's a barbeque that will be held in my oldest friend's back yard."

"Just checking," Emily answered defensively.

Later that week, the whole of Aaron's team gathered in Dave's back yard for the barbeque.

"Guys, I'd like you to meet my fiancée. Emily, this is the team. Agents Derek Morgan, Jennifer Jureau, Dr. Spencer Reid, Jason Gideon, Elle Greenaway, our technical analyst Penelope Garcia, and of course you know, David Rossi. Guys, this is Emily," Aaron introduced.

"Damn, Hotch. You've got a fine looking fiancée there," Derek Morgan whistled.

Right away, Emily knew that she didn't like this Elle Greenaway. She needed to learn how to keep her eyes off someone else's man. She was obviously stripping Emily's fiancé in her mind and Emily didn't like that at all. She made a mental note to have a talk with the young agent.

"Pleasure to meet you Ms…"

"Prentiss, but please, call me Emily."

"Emily Prentiss. As in the ambassador's daughter?" Someone asked.

"That would be me."

"Pleasure to meet you Emily. Please, call me JJ," Jennifer said. "That's what everyone calls me.

"Oh and you can call Derek, Morgan, Spencer, Reid, Jason, Gideon, Dave, either Dave or Rossi, Elle, just call her Elle, and then there's me. Just call me Garcia, Pen or PG," Penelope whispered into Emily's ears.

"Welcome to the 'family', Emily" Rossi declared and flipped a burger.

"So, is 'Hotch' some sort of nick name that you call Aaron?" Emily asked Morgan.

He laughed: "Well because most people here go by their last names, 'Hotchner' is a really long last name to say so we shortened it to 'Hotch'."

"Makes sense."

About half an hour later, the team plus Emily were sitting around Rossi's hot tub with their feet dangling in the water while eating their burgers and hotdogs. The nine of them ate and laughed and talked and Emily got on really well with everyone. Well, almost everyone.

In the kitchen, Emily confronted Elle. "Elle. Hi, I'm Emily," she started out with the nice card hoping it would work. "Mind if I talk to you for a sec?"

"No problem Emily. So what's it like to date Hotch?" She asked eagerly.

"That's not what I had in mind. Do you think you can keep your eyes off my boyfriend? It's kind of making me uncomfortable."

"And if I don't?" Elle questioned.

Emily couldn't believe it. "Listen here, bitch. You need to keep your roaming eyes off my fiancé. He's off limits. No I don't think it's cute that you have a little crush on him, and I'm pretty sure that everyone else on the team knows and I'm pretty sure they don't like it either. So either you back off or, I'll make sure that your life is a living hell," Emily looked at her stunned face. "Do I make myself clear?" Emily finished.

Elle nodded and scurried away like a little hamster and went back to the hot tub.

Once Elle finished her veggie dog, she checked her watch and gasped. "Guys I'm so sorry but I have to go."

There was a chorus of 'Bye's.

Then, there was Morgan. "Got a date?" He played. Elle laughed, turned around and left.

Later that night, Emily and Aaron arrived back at Aaron's apartment. As soon as they walked in the door, there was a phone call. Emily answered: "Hello," then paused and listened to what the person on the other line had to say. "Yes, here he is," she said and passed the phone to her fiancé.

"Yes, this is Agent Hotchner… She's been what… Thank you very much ma'am. I'm on my way," and he hung up the phone.

The look on her fiancé's face got Emily worried. "What's going on?" She asked grabbing her jacket and the keys.

"Elle Greenaway has been shot. It doesn't look like she's going to make it."

"But didn't Gideon… Oh. My. Gosh. Poor Gideon. Didn't he have deep feelings for her?"

"Yes," he deadpanned walking swiftly to the car. "If we lose Elle, then we loose Gideon too."

They pulled up to the hospital and all the team members came running out. "She's going to make it but they doubt she'll ever be able to return to the BAU. She was shot in the head but they managed to get her to the hospital in time," JJ said in one breath. She took another deep breath and continued. "Gideon said that if Elle doesn't return to the BAU, he's going to retire and take care of Elle. So, in other words, we are down two agents."

"How do all of you feel about not having Elle return?" Hotch asked taking the lead because the leader of the team was most likely non-functional at that moment.

First was Morgan to speak up. "She's a good person, but she's too naïve to handle the things we deal with on a daily basis."

Next was Garcia. "She had the hot's for you and she kind of creeps me out. She is nice, but I don't think that I would be visiting her anytime soon. Plus, she kept trying to backstab Jayje."

"JJ? How do you feel?"

'To be honest, I'd be glad if she didn't return, the things that she called me behind my back makes me feel like she's a bitch."

"I know how you feel JJ. When I tried to get her to keep her eyes off Aaron, she was giving me a crap load of attitude and was like: "What if I don't?""

"Alright, that settles it. Everyone, go home, get some sleep and tend to your families." He added the last part and directed it at Morgan. His sisters were in town. "I'll go talk to Jason and see what he wants to do. This has been quite the Friday and I don't want to see any of you until Monday, with the exception of Emily," Aaron added quickly after getting a look from his fiancée.

"Jason," Aaron said softly.

Cliffhanger! It's kind of a lame cliffy but I couldn't figure out how to end it without overlapping into the next chapter. For now, it's up to your imagination to figure out what happens. Until next time!
