Present Day
Kaitlin's POV
The team broke up. They all quit the next morning, after JJ had told them Emily was alive.
Derek moved to Chicago to live with his mom. He opened up a youth center for troubled kids, and it's doing great. He is still single, and has not dated anyone seriously since his departure from the BAU.
Rossi retired to Florida, where he is taking it easy, on the beach, even though he is still haunted by all he had seen in his many years of profiling.
Spence moved to Las Vegas to be with his mom. He has been doing a lot of research on schizophrenia and how much genetics plays into it and has been teaching about it. He also wrote a book about being a child prodigy, and a book about what it was like in the FBI.
Penelope moved to Boston. She opened her own center to help council grieving parents that had lost children. She also repairs computers, which is how she pays to keep the center open.
Hotch and his son stayed in their house. Hotch and another local lawyer opened a small lawfirm. Hotch gets to spend a lot of time, however, with Jack, and he assistant coaches his highschool lacrosse team. Jack, who was 4 when I first met him, is now 15, a sophomore, in highschool, and he is doing really well with good grades.
Ashley was moved to a profiling team in LA. She reports to SSA Sam Cooper and she is now a skilled profiler. She has a husband, who also works for the FBI, and is 2 months pregnant with her first child.
JJ now has a desk job as the head of communications in a large company in DC. Henry, is 10 and in 4th grade. He is doing great in school. Will still works for DCPD. JJ and Will's relationship is still good and they are still happily married and living in DC.2
As for me, I am 25, I have a boyfriend, and I'm a music teacher in Elkton, MD. I"m 8 months pregnant with a girl. My boyfriend and I have talked about names. I want her name to be Emily. Emily Jennifer. In honor of Emily and JJ, to of the most important women in my life. I knew them more then I knew my real mom. I thought of my brother. If I had son, I would name him Jason, in honor of my poor brother, who didn't live to see his 10th birthday…who never got to experience middle school, who never got to drive, have a girlfriend, go to college, have his own family. Everything I do, I do in memory of what he couldn't do.
My boyfriend notices my..glitches. I have horrific flash backs of my past, horrible dreams, and there are just some things that remind me of my old family….or families. I haven't told him everything that I've done, and that's happened yet, but he told me that when I'm ready, he'll be here to listen.
I'm sorry that the team broke up. I loved them all. They were my family. I miss them and it hurts to think about them. I have a boy friend who loves me, and a daughter on the way. It hurts to know that my dad won't be walking me down then aisle, and that I can't call the man who was just like a father to me. At my wedding, will be my boyfriend's family, and my friends. I have no relatives, and I cannot, I just cannot call them…It wouldn't be right.
I think about how my daughter will not know her grandparents, or her Uncle Jason. How she will not know an "Auntie Emily', 'Auntie JJ", "Auntie Penelope", "Uncle Derek", "Uncle Spence", "Rossi", "Uncle Hotch", 'Auntie Ashley…" She will never know them. Who they are. How amazing they are. How much I loved them.
I think about how I will never let my daughter hurt. I will never let her get hurt the way i did. I will never let her be a profiler. To get wrapped up in that side of life. And I will protect her.
I have accepted these things. I can't go back in time to change what has happened, I can only go back to tell the story. That's my story and now all I can do is live day by day. I have a boyfriend who loves me and a daughter on the way. This is what I'll hold on to. This is all I've got to hold on to.
