For a moment Emily stood a little confused outside the airport. She knew she should go straight to the BAU and Hotch would tell everyone from there but was that really fair on Reid? Didn't he deserve something more after the months of grief she'd put him through?

But then she thought about how Reid would react to his dead girlfriend turning up on his doorstep pregnant with his child. He'd think his genetic disposition to schizophrenia had finally caught up with him; he'd probably call the nearest institution himself.

She got a taxi to the BAU and met Hotch at the back exit where the stewardess had told her he'd be waiting.

"It's good to see you again" Hotch said in his monotone voice as Emily walked closer, she caught sight of the beard and relaxed clothes he was sporting and couldn't help but smile.

There was a small pause then Emily cleared her throat. "How's Reid?"

"He's better" Hotch replied seriously.

There was another small pause and it became obvious to Emily that Hotch didn't feel like talking. "You don't seem surprised about me being pregnant" Emily said with a little laugh as she looked down at her belly.

"Someone from witness protection told me, off the records, a few months ago" Hotch explained.

Another pause. "I need to talk to Reid first" Emily stated.

"JJ and I decided it would be best to tell the whole team together" Hotch replied as he took a step towards the door that led to the stairs.

"Hotch… I can'ttell him with everyone else… I've put him through hell over the last seven months, not to mention how weird I was to him before I disappeared. You had to go through every bit of our relationship and he had to let you. Please, Hotch. He deserves at least some privacy.

Hotch took a deep breath then sighed. "I'll take you up to my office, the rest of the team are waiting in the briefing room so no one should see you" Hotch said as he walked ahead of her and pulled open the door.

"Then you'll get Reid?" Emily asked as she followed him up the stairs.

"If that's what you want" Hotch replied without looking round as he climbed the stairs.

Reid leant back against his chair and took a deep breath; Doyle's death had reopened all the wounds Emily's death had created and that Reid thought had healed. Morgan sat beside him and faked a smile at Garcia who was sitting opposite him across the table. JJ was on the other side of Reid and next to her was Rossi; they all looked affected by Doyle's death, although all in different ways.

"Reid, meet me in my office" Hotch said as he opened the door slightly then closed it once he'd said what he needed to.

Morgan and Rossi exchanged looks as Reid silently got up and walked out of the room. Reid paused for a moment outside Hotch's door, took a deep breath then walked inside. He blinked a few times as he saw a woman with her back to him looking out of the window that showed a view of most of the city.

Reid softly cleared his throat as he looked over to the strangely familiar figure. If he didn't know what he knew he could have sworn it was Emily.

As the woman slowly turned around some of her dark hair fell off of her shoulder and into her face like Emily's did. Her chocolate brown eyes locked onto Reid's and his mouth dropped just the slightest bit before he swallowed and took a deep breath.

"Emily?" He whispered, he wanted to say so much more but his tongue felt thick and the lump in his throat was growing bigger and bigger by the moment.

"It's me, Reid" Emily whispered and took a step forward.

"No" He said and shook his head, wiping a tear of his cheek. "You aren't real… I… I buried you?" He added, his voice barely audible.

Emily laughed a little despite the tears trailing down her cheeks. "I'm real, Reid" She whispered and softly placed her hand on his cheek. He flinched slightly and sucked a breath in as she touched him then released the breath and slowly closed his eyes. "I'm right here, ok?" She said as his soft crying turned into sobbing and she pulled him into a hug.

"I… y- you…" He searched for the right words as Emily rubbed his back and soothed him with soft kisses on his forehead. "You left" He mumbled into her shoulder as he tried to steady his breathing.

"I'm sorry, Spencer" She whispered as she fought with the tears threatening to spill out of her eyes. "I'll never leave you again"

He slowly calmed himself down enough and gently let go of her. "Promise" He whispered, he knew it was childish but he couldn't lose her again, not after what he'd gone through the first time.

"I promise" She said with a little laugh as a happy tear spilled onto her cheek which Reid quickly wiped away for her with a big grin on his face. "Notice anything different about me?" Emily said as she took a step back for Reid to see her better.

His eyes looked her up and down then settled on her belly, how hadn't he noticed that before? "You're… Pregnant?" He said, the second word barely a whisper as he stared at her.

"Come here" She said as she gently took his hand and rested it on her belly. "That's your baby, Reid" She said with a little smile as his hand explored her belly with amazement painted across his face.

"You were pregnant when you left?" He asked.

"Yeah… But I didn't know until I was in hospital… I would have never left if I'd known…" Emily began but trailed off toward the end.

"That's my baby" Reid whispered to himself as a happy tear slipped from his eye to his cheek. This time it was Emily's turn to wipe the tear away which followed with her placing her lips onto his. And God had Reid missed those lips.

Hotch softly knocked on then opened the door. "Are you two ready to talk to the team now?"

"What?" Reid asked, mystified at the lack of reaction at seeing Emily alive.

"Yeah, we'll be over in a minute" Emily answered for him and Hotch quickly left.

"What was that about?" Reid asked as his eyes fixed on the spot where Hotch had been standing before he left.

"I need to tell the team about me being, well, alive" Emily answered with a little nervous laugh.

"No, I know that. How come Hotch just saw you alive and didn't seem surprised? He didn't even flinch… Did he know?" Reid asked angrily as he took a step toward the door.

"When I was in hospital they couldn't tell you all about my condition… Hotch and JJ had to keep it a secret to protect you" Emily explained in a rush of words as she reached for Reid's hand.

"JJ knew too?" Reid asked as he backed even closer to the door.

"Reid, I was under witness protection. They could only trust a few people and-" Emily began but Reid cut her off.

"And they couldn't trust me?" He said, his voice full of anger as he restrained from shouting.

"Where are you going?" Emily asked as he burst out of Hotch's office.

"I'm gonna tell them team exactly what they've been lying about" Reid replied before he burst into the briefing room.

"What's up, Reid?" Morgan asked as he turned to see him.

"You knew" Reid spat at JJ.

"What's this about, Spence?" JJ asked, calm yet confused, as she stood and walked closer to him.

"You know what this about" Reid replied with a steely glance to her. "But they don't, do they?" Reid asked and motioned to the rest of the team.

"What's going on?" Morgan asked with much more concern in his voice than before as he stood.

"Emily isn't dead. In fact, she's in Hotch's office right now" Reid replied with a sarcastic smile. "JJ and Hotch both knew she wasn't dead and they still didn't tell us" Reid added as shock wrote itself against the entire team's face.

"Just calm down a bit and we can talk about this" JJ said as she tried to calm him down.

"What's there to talk about? You let us all believe Emily was dead even though you knew damn well she wasn't!" Reid yelled at her.

"Reid" Emily said as she hurried into the briefing room, with one hand on her pregnant belly from the strain.

"She lied" Reid continued as tears threatened his eyes.

"Stop it" Emily said quietly as she took his hand in hers and entwined their fingers.

"Emily?" Morgan asked as all the team's eyes settled onto the woman they'd thought was dead.

"She lied" Reid whispered as his eyes fell to the floor and a tear spilled out of his eye.

Emily's back! This was pretty bitter sweet to write but I just wanted to put across how I think Reid would've reacted in that kind of situation. Feel free to disagree, everyone's got an opinion after all, but I think Reid would've confronted JJ a lot earlier than in the episode if the relationship between him and Emily was different. Anyway, I hoped you like the chapter, the next chapter should be up tomorrow and it'll most likely be another long one unless I get a request that'll fit in nicely with the storyline so far. Happy Friday :)
