Hey guys sorry for the delay. I'm back at school now so I don't have as much time to write. Just to let you know I've based Ellie, Molly and Charley on my own friends so I hope you like them. Thanks again for all the reviews and I hope you enjoy:)

chapter 11: Husband and Wife

After I cleaned myself up dad and I went out to brunch. An hour and a half later we were back in the car headed home absolutely full to our stomachs. I had arranged to meet my friends in an hour at my house, just in case I lost it again. Dad didn't mind them coming round, he knew them all and he knew how close we all were.
"I thought we could stop off at the store before your friends arrive, I thought we should stock up on food." Dad joked.
"Yeah, that's probably a good idea, we eat a lot." I laughed.
"Yeah, I know. I have been to your birthdays and I have to admit I've never seen girls eat that much in my entire life. Your mum and I always had to go to the store to re-stock the cupboards." Dad smiled, though I could see that he was hiding his pain.
"Well what can I say. I love food." I said as lightly as I could, trying to cheer him up a bit.
"Well I'm happy to hear that." Dad laughed, snapping out of his sad state. "That reminds me you've been invited to a birthday."
"Who's? Its not like I know anyone." I said completely confused.
"Its no one big, just Morgan. Every year he holds a big party at his house. He's got a pool and everything, it is quite good fun." Dad said with a smile
"How come this is the first I've ever heard of it?" I asked. Dad visited me every year for my birthday, which was in July, and Christmas. Hotch used to give him time off from cases for my birthday, but only him, so Derek and Emily couldn't make it every year. But when they could they still caught me up on everything major that happened.
"Derek felt bad because you were missing out. He said that he was going to throw it even bigger this year because you're here, but I decided to give you a heads up because I know how much you hate surprises." Dad said calmly.
"Well at least now I have time to prepare myself." I smiled, dad was right, I absolutely hated surprises the thing I hated the most about them had to be the unknowing part. I hated people keeping secrets from me especially if I was the only person who wasn't allowed to know. Dad knows this from first hand experience. When I was five mum and him had both planned to get me a kitten to keep me company. Everyone knew but me and I got myself in such a state that they ended up telling me. I obviously was happy to get a kitten and I ended up calling her crookshanks, like in Harry Potter, but I had completely ruined the surprise. When I left for Quantico I left Charley to look after her.
"I know how you deal with surprises, even good ones." dad laughed. I smacked him again. "I still need to get Morgan back for teaching you this violence."
"Oh yeah, please tell me when you plan on doing that, I really don't want to miss it." I laughed. We pulled up at the local store and got out the car. Dad and I grabbed a basket each and filled it with the essentials.
"So what do you want to eat tonight?" Dad asked.
"More like what do you want so I can cook it." I laughed.
"Sorry I'm such a bad cook stel, maybe I should get Rossi to teach me a few things." dad said guilty.
"Dad, I'm kidding, I really don't mind cooking. How's Spaghetti?" I asked, I felt bad for making him feel guilty. I really didn't mind cooking, mum had taught me the basics.
"Thanks Stel, and Spaghetti's good. You might be cooking for Morgan and Emily so make sure you have enough ingredients." Dad warned.
"No problem. Right I'll go get my stuff, you go get yours." I said to dad, turning off in the other direction. For the last couple of days this had been a habit dad and I had every time we went to the store. Dad would never question what I'd bought as long as it was at a reasonable price. First I decided to go and get the ingredients for tonight. You didn't need a great deal so it was easy. I then got some nice nibbles for Emily and Derek because I knew Dads hosting skills wouldn't be great. After I got all the boring stuff, I made my way over to the sweets isle. I stuffed the basket with things I knew they'd like and made my way to the checkout. Dad was already waiting for me with one of the oddest baskets I'd ever seen. He had two bottles of wine, coffee, bread, butter, milk, bacon and the weirdest item of all was a HELLO magazine.
"What's the wine for and why do you have a magazine?" I asked confused.
"I thought you might like it, I saw you reading some on the plane. The wines for tonight, its Morgan and Emily, there obviously going to want some, especially after the flight." Dad smiled. I was chuffed up to see how hard he was trying and it instantly brought a smile to my face.
"I love you Dad." I said ruffling his hair. It meant a lot to see how hard he was trying to know my interests.

"I'll get it." I said running to the door. We'd only just got back from the store and we hadn't even unpacked the food yet. I paused for a moment before I answered it, I was anxious how they were going to react. Finally realizing that these people were my friends, I opened the door.
"Stella." they all cheered walking in one by one and giving me a hug.
"I've missed you guys so much." I said with a big grin.
"I know, how have you been?" Molly asked, subtly.
"I've been fine, its nice in quantico, all you guys need to visit."
"We will." Molly said smiling.
"Come to my room, I've got so much to tell you." I said bringing them out the doorway.
"Hey Spencer." Ellie called out to dad.
"Hey Ellie, I haven't seen you in ages, how have you been?" Dad asked. He knew Ellie the best out of all of them.
"I've been good thanks, mum sends her love."
"Well tell her thank you." Dad replied. We quickly ran upstairs to my bedroom and shut the door so dad couldn't listen in.
"So how have you really been?" Charley asked.
"Alright, well, considering. Dads team have all been so nice and they've all been treating me so much." I said, I didn't want to go into to much detail.
"So you got to Quantico alright, you have no idea how much I was panicking stel." Ellie said quickly.
"Yeah, it was all fine El." I replied reassuringly.
"How did you even get in that place." Charley asked amazed.
"It wasn't that hard, I had some help from Henry." I laughed. The voices Charley put on always cracked me up.
"Back up a sec. Who's Henry?" Molly asked, with a cheeky look on her face. I thought about it before I answered this question but in the end I told them everything about him. I trusted each of them so I knew they wouldn't tell anyone.
"You like him." Ellie said with a smile.
"I don't, we're just friends." I said, I could feel my cheeks burning up.
"You do or else you wouldn't be blushing." Molly laughed.
"Do you have his number? can we ring him?" Charley said excited. I didn't want them to do anything embarrassing but I did promise to ring Henry when I got here.
"We can only ring him on one condition." I said sternly. "You all have to be quiet."
"Fine by me."
"And me."
"Just ring the boy." Charley shouted. Stubbornly, I dialled his number and put him on loud speaker.
"Stella, I was getting worried for a sec, I take it your got there alright." Came Henry's voice. All my friends began ahhing and I swiftly hushed them.
"Yeah I'm fine. How are you? Are you and your dad alright?" I asked, not wanting to go any further on the matter.
"Yeah, he took the news a hell of a lot better than mum did. Thanks again Stella it really meant a lot." Henry said softly.
"It's fine Henry any time." I replied.
"Well if you need anyone to watch Tangled with or any other film, I'm here." He said.
"Thanks Henry, it means a lot." I said, so happy he couldn't see me blush. Unfortunately for me my friends could though and they were all nearly in fits of laughter.
"So what are you doing now?" He asked.
"Just with a few Alaska friends." I said as coolly as possible. "What about you?"
"I'm just at the BAU bored and that's nice tell them that I said hi." Henry said, I could tell he was smiling.
"Hi." They all cheered.
"Who you smiling to. Has someone got a girlfriend." Came Rossi's voice from the other end of the phone.
"Shut up Rossi, it's just Stella and she can hear you." Henry said, clearly embarrassed.
"Same thing really, you and Stella are like an item now." Rossi laughed.
"Leave now. I don't hit old men but I'm about to." Henry said in a flat tone.
"Ooh someone needs a hug." Rossi chuckled.
"What is up with you and hugs. Your hugs aren't even that's good." Henry moaned. I couldn't help but laugh. henry had known the team for his whole life so they were basically family to him.
"Well you really know how to hurt someone. I least I don't Leave my girlfriend waiting on the phone."Rossi joked
"Sorry Stel, Rossi was being a prat." Henry said embarrassed.
"I heard, alright Rossi, by the way you are totally right me and Henry are a couple now. Darn profilers know everything. We were planning to run away to Vegas to get married but I guess we cant now. Oh well." I joked.
"How romantic of you Henry, I've got to say your very classy choosing Vegas."Rossi said, going along with it.
"What can I say we are just so desperately in love we couldn't wait." Henry laughed.
"Well I hope the best for the both of you, my mansion is up for hire, I could offer it to you for a venue, your parents got married there." Rossi said still deadly serious.
"That would be amazing Rossi, now if you don't mind I have some wedding planning to get to." I said, it was true I had to go, it cost a lot to call from Alaska.
"Any time, ring me so we can arrange a date." Rossi said.
"Nice one stel,he's gone. You don't really have to go do you." Henry asked, slightly embarrassed.
"Sorry hubby but Alaska costs." I said laughing.
"Well have a nice time and no going off with other men. Bye, love you wifey." Henry said before he quickly hung up. He just told me he loved me.
"What the hell was that." Charley said extremely confused.
"Why did he just tell you that he loved you?" Molly said, shocked.
"It was a joke, one of the team said we were going out so I thought I'd play along. Guys he didn't mean it." I said, though deep down I was really hoping that he did mean it.
"I'm not to sure about that stel." Ellie said unsure.
"Trust me, we're just friends. We were joking it's Rossi, he even knows that." I said, trying to get them to believe me.
"You like him."
"And he likes you too."
"I don't and nor does he." I said getting defensive.
"Come on stel, what's wrong if you do a little he sounds a nice guy." Molly said.
"Just admit it and we will leave you alone." Charley said in an odd accent.
"Nope, I won't." I said shaking my head.
"Just do it, come on, do it, do it." Ellie started off and Molly and Charley joined in. They started to get louder and it was giving me a headache.
"Fine! I like Henry." I snapped.
"See that wasn't that hard." Molly said making us all burst into a fit of laughter.
