Aaron Hotchner never thought this day would come.

He had just closed on a 5 bedroom house right outside of Quantico Virginia.

His entire team had offered to move Aaron and Jack from their small condo into a home fit for Emily, Jack and Aaron.

Hotch spent most of the family dinner that Fran had prepared dropping hints that it was time to move in together and be a real family.

Hotch had taken Reid, Rossi, and Morgan with him to pick out a unique engagement ring,

After the team had emptied the apartment out, and sent Jack to spend the night with Penelope and Derek. Hotch now knelt before Emily with an emerald and diamond engagement ring.

At first Emily was shocked into silence. She knew she loved Aaron Hotchner more than just a rational love.

She craved him. She loved everything from his timid smile to the way he smelled after taking a shower in his favorite soap.

Emily wasn't stupid she knew Aaron Hotchner was made for her.

Now Aaron was in front of her with a gorgeous engagement ring, and the.

Before he could even ask the question, Emily had swooped down and mumbled yes before capturing his lips.

The gorgeuous brownstone Hotch found was perfect for his newly formed family.

Aaron slid the ring on her finger and Emily stared at it.

Emily was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't notice the team standing behind her.

Penelope nudged Hotch and said, "Thank God she said yes, or this cake would have been all kinds of embarrassing."

Hotch chuckled and said, "So true."

Derek said, "Alright we got the fired up ready to go."

Penelope snatched the spatula away from Derek and said, "No. No going caveman. We ladies will handle the food, and you boys will keep an eye on the kids."

Derek rolled his eyes but conceded to his fiancé. Emily slid her hand into Aaron's and gave it a squeeze.

They shared a hug, then Emily went over to Jack and said, "Jack you know you are very important to me. So I want to know how you feel about being a big brother, and us living all together."

Jack who was sitting on the floor with Henry pushing his toy dump truck around looked at Emily and said, "I like it when you put me to bed. You read me extra stories when daddy won't."

Emily smiled sheepishly at Aaron.

Aaron gave Emily an all knowing smirk. His son had stolen Emily's heart, and she always had a hard time telling him no.

Jack placed his hand on Emily stomach.

Jack's eyes widen as he excitedly yelled, "The baby kicked my hand." Jack ran his hand along Emily's stomach and said, "Hey baby. My name's Jack and I'm gonna be the best big brother ever."

Emily stilled Jack's hand and said, "Wait just a second."

Jack felt the baby kick again and giggled. Henry walked over to JJ and said, "Baby?"

Will chuckled and said, "Son that is all on your mama."

JJ laughed and smacked Will on the arm.

Will circled his arms around JJ and said, "I know chere you want to wait until your friends have their babies before we try again."

JJ nodded and said, "Thank you for understanding."

Will chuckled and said, "As long as I get to practice all I want, you will hear no complaints from me."

Penelope looked at Will and said, "Pratiquer peut être amusant." (Practicing can be fun)

Will laughed and shot back, "J'ai entendu des histoires sur vous Mme Garcia." (I have heard stories about you Ms. Garcia)

Emily then said, "Certains d'entre nous apprennent vite." (Some of us are fast leaners.)

Derek looked from Hotch, to Reid to Rossi.

Rossi said, "Vite francese. Parlo del vero linguaggio dell'amore." (Screw French. Italian is the true language of love.)

Derek chuckled and said, "Look let's not argue over language. Besides: Qualunque ottiene bambina in vena è che cosa parlo." (Whatever gets baby girl in the mood is what I speak."

Rossi gaped at Derek and asked, "Son how long have you been speaking Italian?"

Derek replied, "Since I was stationed in Italy."

Penelope had to catch herself from going weak kneed. She hoped her hot stuff ate his Wheaties because when they get home, he is going to have a long night.

Fran came in from the backyard. She said, "Okay kids time to have some fun." Fran beamed when she saw the ring on Emily's finger.

Fran said, "Well I see that another one of my daughter's is getting married."

Emily looked at Fran and felt a lump form in her throat.

Emily knew she was hormonal, and at Fran's words she felt tears well in her eyes.

Fran immediately went to Emily and placed a comforting arm around her. Emily in turn embraced Fran in a fierce hug.

Emily whispered thank you.

Fran said, "Oh sweetheart I consider all of you to be my family now. Hey now dry your eyes."

Emily muttered, "Stupid hormones."

Rossi cleared his throat. He could see the emotional moment between the two women sweep over the entire room.

Rossi said, "Okay how about we all head outside."

Everyone followed except for Fran and Emily.

Fran tugged Emily's arm to keep her inside.

Fran said, "Honey talk to me."

Emily sighed and sat on the couch that she knew was from her apartment. Fran took a seat next to her and said, "Emily if I was out of line, I'm sorry."

Emily sniffled and said, "No. not at all. What you said was perfect."

Fran asked, "Than baby what is it?"

Emily fiddled with her hands in her lap and said, "See me and my mother aren't that close. I hear Derek or Penelope call you Ma, and you don't get upset. I have only called my mom mother. She was gone more often than not, and the crazy part is I have seen you more in the past six months than I have seen my mother in my entire life."

Fran pulled Emily into her arms and said, "Oh sweetie."

Emily sobbed and inwardly cursed herself. She chanted, in her mind, "This is Morgan's mom. Not yours."

Fran felt Emily tense up and said, "Emily Prentiss you stop that now. Yes I am Derek's mom, but from the first time I met you when you fought for my son's freedom, I considered you like family. Do you hear me?"

Emily sniffled and said, "Yes ma'am."

Fran huffed and said, "Excuse me young lady."

Emily smiled and said, "Yes Fran."

Fran smiled and said, "That's better."

Fran took a deep breath and said, "Emily let me tell you something. You may not be that close to your mom, but I know she is proud of you, and if she isn't she is crazy. You are strong, and brave. And don't think for one moment that I don't see how you have helped heal Aaron, and you are an additional support system to Jack."

Emily looked and Fran and said, "But-"

Fran shrugged and asked, "But what?"

Emily said, "I don't know how to be a mom, hell I don't even know how my dishwasher works."

Fran said, "Emily I think Aaron knows that. He's not marrying a maid, he is marrying the woman he loves. Look I know things because sometimes I am my son's sounding board. Derek tries to protect me from what he has to see on a nearly daily basis, but I still get the gist of the horror you face."

Emily asked, "How do you know?"

Fran laughed and said, "Honey I worked as an ER nurse. I saw things sticking out of people that would make your hair stand up on your head, and your stomach roll. So if you need someone, who is not on your team to talk to, you better call me. Because if I find you doubting yourself again I will sic Penelope on you."

Emily laughed and said, "Please don't. I think I have suffered enough."

Fran nodded and said, "Exactly. Now you need to go out there with your man and your soon to be step son and enjoy today, and every other day that comes. Do you hear me?"

Emily smiled and said, "Yes ma'am."

Fran replied, "Good. Now if you call me ma'am again I will tell Aaron to spank you."

Emily chuckled and said, "Pretty sure that isn't a punishment."

Fran rolled her eyes and said, "God you are worse than Derek."

Emily and Fran both stood up. Fran said, "Come on let's get some food in you."

Emily sighed happily and said, "Anything for you Mama Morgan."

As always read and review!

I took both French and Italian in some point in high school. I'm still rusty.
