"What the - ?" Gary burst into the room and stared at the scene in front of him. "You're not going to marry him, are you? He's old enough to be your father!"
"Watch your mouth, young man!" Rossi roared at him.
"He is not!" Emma protested. "Maybe my mother's much younger brother who was a wonderful, unexpected, late in life surprise for my grandparents - But definitely not my father!"
"But, but - that," Garry pointed at the engagement ring on the hand Rossi was still holding.
"Gary, I am so, so sorry!" Emma burst out. "But, you see – " She looked over at Reid. "It's Spencer."
"Mother was worried about you," Gary declared. "She heard that there was a shooting out at the Masters' house and she thought you might be there. She says that what you do is not a job for a woman and I agree. I want to marry you so you won't have to do that any more."
"Gary," Emma said sadly. "I'm sorry - It doesn't work that way – I don't work that way."
"I have a ring," he continued as if he hadn't heard her. "Mother helped me pick out something appropriate."
"It's not like that, though," he added lamely as he pulled a ring box out of his pocket.
"Tell your mother it's too little, too late," Emma told him apologetically as she freed her hand from Rossi's grasp and reached over to join hands with Reid.
Morgan walked over to the disappointed suitor and put his arm around Gary's drooping shoulders. "Man, let me tell you something about women - and mothers - and rings – " he began as he turned the man around and casually guided him out the door while JJ, following in their wake, discretely collected bills from many of the officers who were still gathered in the room.
Rossi turned to Detective Wade, "I believe you owe me - ?" he began with a smirk.
"Yeah – Yeah - Right!" the detective dug out his wallet.
"Don't worry," Hotch told the detective as he glared at Rossi. "I'll see to it that they get a very nice wedding present."
