Hey! Hi! Hello!

Now that Emily wasn't going to be waking up anytime soon, Richard told himself to get out of the house, it was a bad idea considering that as soon as someone knew he had escaped, a huge search to catch him would start, the only thing he had on mind was his family, his baby girl cries finally got him out of the room, Emily looked so peaceful and quiet laying there, he now had to take care of his little girl.

''Mamma!''Grace was screaming from her crib, very loud, very afraid.

''Hey...The big loud noise scared you?''He said trying to console the daughter he had just met for the first time today.

''Mamma!''She kept squealing and crying, fighting against his biological father's hold.

''She is okay, she is sleeping, let's go to her, she is okay.''He kept holding his baby and rubbing her hair as he brought her into the room he had just been in.

''Look she is asleep.''Gracie calmed down when placed on the bed, she went to hold her mother's back and play with her hair immediately.

''Night night?''Gracie asked her sleeping mother confused.

''she is taking a nap.''Richard had sat down in bed, Grace was in the middle, This was he had fantasized about for the longest time, this is what a normal family would look like in a lazy afternoon. Gracie kissed her mother goodnight even thought light was coming through the window.

''Tuck me in, pwease!.''Gracie babbled. Richard's heart grew big for a second, his daughter had called him dad, but from what he heard before she called everyone dad, still there grew a feeling inside his heart it made him smile.

''Take care of your mom, while I'm gone little one, it won't be long until we are all together like this.''He said to her daughter, who wouldn't stop spooning her unconscious mother, Richard felt proud that his daughter was growing to be a beautiful girl just like her mother, he wanted her to have everything, he would spend the rest of his life making sure his daughter grew up to be strong and powerful he just had to make Emily see it, he would make her learn that he could be a good father, have more children once Emily gets used to their new life. Right now he had to work on resources to get them there, he had to do this quick, he had prepared everything before even going to jail his ultimate plan was to isolate her from the beginning he just had a few things to do, if it hadn't been for his impulses, no one would have even know about them, she would have been a missing person and there wouldn't be any clues, but it was impossible for him to wait he had to have her. After a few minutes of caressing Emily's hair he decided it was time for him to leave.

''Garcia, is Hotch, track Emily's phone, Richard has escaped, he used a cop's ID to get his way out, we don't know where he is, I need you to call JJ, so they can release his face on every TV screen, a special retail will be called on her house, I'm headed to her house right now, to make sure she is okay, I'll let you know in a few minutes.'' Hotch left a message on Penelope's phone, the line was busy, he'd imagine she was talking to JJ or Emily hopefully. He was afraid about what he might find when he reaches her house, sudden thoughts about haley came into his head, he prayed to not find Emily like he had found Haley.

''Emily!'' Hotch said knocking her door, the door bell ring wasn't working, that was already a warning sign, he waited a minute, he could hear another car approaching, and it was Morgan this time who had showed up.

''Garcia called me. She thought you may need some help if there was trouble inside. James is on his way too.'' Hotch nodded his approval.

''She is not answering the door.'' Hotch tried the knob and it opened, that was another alarming warning sign.

''There's no power.'' Derek noticed while stepping in, everything seemed quiet.

''She was making breakfast. they might not be here.''he said noticing the mess in the kitchen.

''Emily!''Derek shouted.

''Dadda!'' it was faint but it was enough for them to sprint to the second floor, gun still on hand they entered the room where Gracie's voice came from.

''Hey baby girl, you're having a sleepover here.'' Derek said somewhat relieved that they were on bed, it was strange that Emily hadn't woken up since she was a light sleeper, that was until he saw the shattered pieces of wood and her cellphone on her nightstand, he feared his friend was dead. Hotch seemed to notice too, so he quickly picked Gracie up to avoid her eyes from seeing something a kid should not see.

''Emily, hey, wake up...''Hotch tried to move her hair away from her face and realized that they were bruises on her pretty face.

''He was here.''He said and the big room felt small, there was a cloth in the floor, he picked it up.

''It's chloroform.''

''He didn't use strong drugs this time.''Derek included.

''He probably didn't have time to...'' Hotch ran to the bathroom and took a towel and ran the towel under water to make it damp.

''She is going to be okay?'' Derek asked concerned, still holding Grace, her face looking to the other side while he rocked her to sleep.

''Yes, we still have to take her to the hospital, when she wakes up.'' Hotch said while pressing the damp towel on her forehead. A few minutes passed and a slight moan could be heard coming from Emily, Derek's phone had ringed at the same time.

''It's Penelope, Hey baby girl, they're okay. Gordon was here, but they seem to be okay, will take Emily to a hospital just to make sure she is okay''

''Oh God! thank God, The search is on, they are looking for him.''Garcia said through the phone.''Call me when you have more news''.

''Wil do.''Derek said hanging up the phone and concentrated on his friend that was finally waking up.

''Hotch?''Prentiss asked confused.

''yes, how do you feel?''

''My head hurts, where is...'' She said as she grabbed her head from the pounding headache, she became calm whe Grace appeared on her sight, on Derek's shoulder.

''Mama woke up.'' Derek returned the baby to her mother, and she held her baby right away.

''I though he had taken her.''Emily let a few tears go down her face, relief to see her daughter was still there, that both of them were still there.

''Mama don't cry!. Sad'' Gracie said kissing her mother's left cheek something that her mother would do if she was crying.

''I'm okay, Hug mommy'' Emily kissed her daughter and sat down with her on her bed.

''Are you okay?''Derek asked concerned.

''He took the power out, said he didn't have time and he had to gather some stuff so he could leave.'' She breathed throughout her sentence.

''Are you okay?''He asked again.

''Yeah I am.''

''Did he hurt you?'' Hotch said pointing to the bruises on her face he had noticed earlier. she wouldn't look to either of them.

''I tried to fight against him once Grace was out of his reach, my phone was ringing so he shot the cellphone and Grace started crying, I don't remember much

after that, he drugged me.''

''what else did he said to you?''Hotch looked at her, but she was still avoiding his gaze.

''He wants to hurt James...If James had been here, he would have shot him dead.''Emily continued to avoid looking at them.

''James is on his way by the way, he found out Gordon had stolen an ID from one of the jail officers.''Morgan commented

''He used chloroform to dose you off, you could be fine, but I think is best if we take you to the hospital.'' Hotch said trying to be as gentle as possible

''ok...''

''Babe!, thank GOD you are here, are you ok?''James came running into the room , embracing Emily in a tight hug, Emily let herself melt into his embrace, and started crying.

''Yes...He didn't hurt Gracie, we are ok.''

''What Happened...?''With that Hotch and Morgan left the two of them so they could talk. Police was called in, the search for Richard Gordon, news were all over,

this was not going to be easy on any of them.

A few hours later and Emily and Gracie were free to go, Emily was still on shock. they were driving to quantico to talk about strategics now, it was too dangerous to go back to their place, and Emily needed a new phone now that her old one was completely shattered that way she wouldn't have to have someone at her side all the time. James was riding in another SUV, Emily told him she wanted to think about what they were going to but she was just tired of not only him but they guys smothering over her like she was some type of delicate glass. She needed to be alone to recollect herself again, that why she decided to go alone with Rossi, She and Gracie hanging in the back seat, Rossi may be noisy and would like to ask a million questions but he knows when she is not up to it, and respects that besides Gracie needed to be in a calm environment and not be int he middle of the heated conversation that Hotch and Morgan were having about what to do next. Rossi was eyeing Prentiss, she seemed to be in deep thought, he was so angry at the man who was putting her under all of this stress, after all she was a daughter to him, there is nothing he wishes more than for Emily to be happy.

''I don't want to go away, again.''she said. Rossi was about to open his mouth when she interrupted

''But I'll have to, for her.''

''we believe it would be safe, yes.''

''He will come after you, all of you, how...how are we going to do this?''

''The bullpen is the most secure for all of us right now, Strauss...She is not sure about us taking the case and I understand that, because I pretty much want that son of a...'' He stopped after he remembered that Gracie was

in the backseat,'' Well to never see the light again.''Rossi could hear Emily sniffling.

''I love her so much, she is not his daughter, I can't acknowledge that, I'm so scared... I don't want her to know.'' Rossi wasn't expecting this to happen to her to open up.

''She is all you, she is so beautiful, you are a great mother, you know how kids start showing their personalities at a young age and you can tell from wich parent they got theirs?''Emily nodded.

''Well, if I had to guess I would say she is Derek's, you have to stop Derek from babysitting her.'' That made Emily laugh. That's what Rossi was after, a watery smile from her, he would try everything to take her pain away.

''He better stop because Penelope will be jealous...''

''I don't think she will, she is just as over excited as Derek is, Gracie is the only girl the BAU squad...and''

''I can't believe you said squad''Rossi was happy now that he got her to stop crying, not the baby, but the baby mother.

''I'm trying be hip, Jack and Henry are almost teenagers, I need to learn.''

After a long 4 hours of planning on what would have to be done next, Emily would not be sent far away, just to a safe house where at least three guards would be securing the did have their cellphones to be updated on the outside world, but the wonderful goddess of technology made sure that they were untraceable, they did agreed on being updated every 2 days, they knew it wasn't going to be easy, and they were not going to find Richard who is now an ex convict which happens to have FBI training and is smart.

two weeks later and things were heating up at the safe house, the three guards were no longer needed, that left only one, and all Emily wanted to do was to get out of the safe hose and catch this were no leads as to where Richard could be, no contact has been made either. James was at least calming her down, Gracie was more than happy to be next to her mother all day long, That was one thing Emily did not regret about this messed up situation.

''Em?..'' James said out loud from their temporary bedroom, Emily was downstairs helping Gracie color a little book.

''Downstairs, what's up?''After that James quickly went downstairs.

''My Grandmother is sick up in Canada, I have to go.'' James said with a serious face.

''I thought she was dead.''Emily said

''We all have two grandmothers Em.'' He said looking distressed, Emily remembers James saying that his two grandmothers were not living in this world anymore, That took her to believe that James was done with being isolated, maybe he needed time out, He never said anything about being Isolated thought, he has always been calmed, that was one thing she really appreciated on the relationship, he would never think on raising his voice, he would be the one to say that this little break as bad as the situation was, was a blessing for him to spend more time with both of them, maybe he did have a sick grandmother, and the situation was jut getting to her.

''How serious is it?''Emily decided to go along but deep down she felt like he was lying to her to get away.

''It's bad bad serious, it's up in Canada so it's safe, you don't have to worry about me babe, ok?'' She nodded as response. She picked up Gracie, decided it was shower time.

''Ok, just be safe''She said kissing his left cheek, James let air come out of his lungs as if this was some type of wanting to have permission from her, he must be really worried about going out.

''Are you going upstairs?''James asked.

''Yep, going to run a bath for this stinky ladybug.''She said throwing kisses at Gracie and the little one started to laugh in her mother's embrace.

While running the water into the bathtub she also prepared to be wet by Gracie splashing water all over so she decided to wear a robe and take a shower after Gracie takes a nap, she usually naps after having a bath, those aromatics thingy thangs that one places on the bathtub would work like magic, it had not been more than 5 minutes since Gracie started playing in the water, she heard a cellphone go off. it startled her and it seemed to startle James as well, he was on the other side of the bedroom now packing up.

''Shit, Emily can you open the door, I think I left my cellphone there.''

''The door is...'' open, it was open, but it all made sense now.

''Allow me a second, I will open the door...''A big sigh came out of her mouth, and she took a look at the caller's ID and it Read... yep, man are so hard to find this days, they are all pigs, and James was not exception, it was his very ex with hearts around her name 3 missing calls, and texts saying I miss you.

''Emily?'' James called out.

''Emily?'' James called out once more.

''I told you to wait a second.''She said looking back at Gracie, she couldn't believe she let this man into their life, Just like her mother, bringing man that would only tear them apart. So she opened the door, with cellphone on hand she gave it to James with a very sad look on her eyes. he knew she knew now.

''Look Emily...''He started

''So this is your grandmother?'' She asked

''Emily, I love you... and I love Gracie, I don't want to..''

''This is not love, I know I'm a lot but still that does not mean you can go ahead and do that''

''I didn't sleep with her!, she came up to me about a month ago and kissed me, I didn't want her to, I will block her and tell her to fuck off, I love you.''

''Well you were about to sleep with her, so don't let me ruin that for you, why don't you leave?''

''Emily!, Please...is just this situation... I will stay here, I love you.'' James tried to reason with her.

''Go, this is over, go have fun.'' Emily kept her calm demeanor, she didn't want to put up with it, Gracie started laughing from the bathtub she was sitting, Emily made sure to leave the door open so she could check her.

''I love Gracie, I don't want to be apart from her, She is a daughter to me, we have been together for almost a year now, I've watched her grow!.''

''She won't remember you, and stop saying you love us when you don't, Just go!''

''Emily, Please...you don't love me?, I told you I haven't even touch her, my mind is just clouded.'' He sat on the bed with his hands on his head and Emily just sighed.

''I don't have time for your little show, get up and go, your time was appreciated.'' with tears on his eyes James stood up and approached Emily

''You can't say you don't love me?''

''I have already stop loving you, I got over you that quickly, now Go!''Emily was having enough.''You already packed, don't even bother saying goodbye.''

''We can fix this...we just need time together.''

''Time? ok, see, it took 1 second to know that this isn't worth it.'' James bowed his head down, then tried to reach to her.

''You touch me, I will break your nose.''

''Okay, I will leave, I won't sleep with her, I realized how stupid I was, it is you I want to spend the next 20 years with, I want to see Gracie grow up, Know that I care about you a lot.''

''Are you done?, put the keys on the counter when you leave'' She went back to Gracie, before slamming the door closed she said one last thing to him.

''Oh and James?''She said with concern on her voice.

''Yes?'' James watched her every move.

''I really do mean it when I said I appreciated your time, thank you and be safe.'' James nodded at her last words to him.

''I love you'' he said taking his suitcase out the door. Emily just closed the door and continued to bath Gracie.

''It's okay, we girls don't need any man, we will have each other.''Emily kissed his daughter and continued to bath her.
