Chapter Seven

Moran woke up by the alarm. It's time to head out to work, she thought. She had just gotten up from the bed her phone began to ring. "Great."

"Moran." She answered, "Hotch, don't tell me it's a new case! I just couldn't concentrate!"

"Relax, we aren't going to accept one till after the funeral."

"Good. Did you need anything?"

"Not me but Ashley. She'll need someone to enter her house with her. She doesn't want to go alone. Morgan has to come and fill out the report, Emily is staying home with the kids. JJ staying home with her kids while Will had to report to work."

"I get it Hotch. I'll call her and make plans with her."

"Thank you."

She got into the shower got ready and dialed Ashley's phone hoping she was awake already.

"Hello Ashley! Hotch told me that you needed help."

"Yes. I don't want to enter the house alone and I don't want to take the kids."

"I'm ready when you are. I just hope I didn't wake you up."

"Don't worry! You didn't I actually couldn't sleep more than an hour had this horrific nightmares. But how do you want to do it?"

"Whatever you want is okay with me!"

"What about picking you me up?"

"Yeah I'll leave soon and call you when I get near."

After waking Adrian and letting him know about helping Ashley she went straight to the kitchen and make a pot of coffee and grab cereal and then left. She was almost at Emily's and Derek's home she called Ashley.

"Hey thank you for helping me." Ashley said as soon as she got on the van and gave a quick hug and kiss to Kathryn.

"What's family for? Besides, Rossi was my mentor and the one who brought me to this amazing family."

"Yeah, that's David." Ashley said, "No that was him can't get used to idea of him not here!"

"I don't know what I would do if anything happened to Adrian! But tell me about your dream!"

"Well, I'm outside my house calling for David and he answers but I can't pinpoint from where and as I enter the house he's already dead and the unsub has Chiara. She says that she wanted to help her Daddy and she wants to go with him and then he kills her. That's when I woke up."

Just then they arrived at Ashley's house and they both get down and Moran gives her a hug, "I don't know what to tell you but I'm here for you."

"Thank you!"

Ashley's phone rang.

"It's Hotch." She said looking at the screen. "Hey Hotch."

"Ashley, they called me from the funeral home. They said that they need some papers sign from you and of course the clothes."

"I can get the clothes I'm already here but Hotch, I can't."

"I can do it but I'll need your paper sign by you giving me authorization for doing the paper work."

"Thank you! I'll see what I can do!"

Moran noticed how tensed Ashley was, "if you need me to drive you somewhere else just tell me."

"Thank you for right now get some clothes for the kids and me."

Ashley opened the door and both of them entered the house. Moran knew that if it was painful for her just thinking where the body of Rossi had been she couldn't imagine how Ashley was taking it.

Few minutes later Ashley came back with different bags with clothes for the kids and her and she noticed that she was carrying a small backpack but she didn't ask questions.

As they were putting the duffel bags on the back seats Ashley began to cry.

"I just can't imagine my life without him!"

"Hey girl, you've got your kids!"

"I know but it's still hurts! Can you take me to the BAU? I need to talk with Hotch."

"I can take you."

Moran had been trying to control her tears but as soon as they got at the BAU and told Ashley that she would wait for her in the car and Ashley got down to meet with Hotch she started crying.

"Hey Moran what happened?" Morgan asked walking towards his own truck when he spotted her.

"I just brought Ashley actually I had been trying to be strong for her but seeing how broken she is makes me think how would I do it if I were in her shoes? I miss him he was the father I wished I had!"
