A/N: Hey guys. Sorry for the delay on the update. Thank you for all the reviews and the PM that I received. The next update won't take soon long. Here is the team's night out. It's a little short but the next will be longer and will be their return to work.

Chapter 19

At Friday night Hotch and Emily were getting ready to go out with the team. They had decided that Hotch would leave first and Emily would go later and pick up JJ on her way. When Hotch was almost leaving his phone rang. "Hotchner".

"Aaron, where are you?" Dave's voice came through the phone.

"I'm just leaving to the bar. Why?"

"Leaving from where exactly?" He asked.

Uh oh. He widened his eyes to Emily who just frowned at him. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that I am at your apartment right now and you're not here, of course, and honestly this place looks like no one had been here for several weeks". He said. Oh shit. "So, where are you spending your off time?"

He looked at Emily with a questioning look and she just shrugged, indicating for him to put it on speaker. "I honestly thought that we'd have more time before you found out Dave, but of course it wouldn't be you otherwise". She said through the phone and he just chuckled.

"Oh Bella, so good to hear your voice. So you finally get your head out of your ass and found what was right in front of you Aaron?" He asked.

"You could put it that way". He chuckled.

"And you two are living together already? Do I hear wedding bells? Babies crying?" He teased, making Emily choke with the water she was drinking.

"Whoa. Slow down buddy…" She started to say just to be cut by Hotch.

"Yes, were living together and the other two, not yet but God how much I want it". He answered sincerely.

"Good for you my friend. So now we have to take your head out of your ass right Em?" He asked making Hotch chuckle.

"Hey!" She protested.

"Okay Dave, we'll see you at the bar. And look, we decided to keep this to ourselves for a little bit so, zip your mouth okay?" Hotch said.

"Well, I think that you won't be able to hide it for too long but okay. As your wish. Oh, and if you're worry about Strauss I have some cards on my sleeve that may be helpful".

"Thanks Dave, when time comes we'll talk. See you". He said and hung up the phone, turning to look at Emily again. Seeing that she was still looking at him apprehensively he approached her and took her hand in his. "I'm sorry if I frightened you. But I already said to you that I love you. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to put a ring on your finger. I want to see you walking on the aisle with a beautiful white dress. I want to cry with you when we hear our baby's cry for the first time. I want to grow old with you. I'm making everything clear from the beginning. I'm in this for the long way. But I respect you and we'll take this by your speed. Right now, the fact that you agreed to be with me is more than enough".

She looked at him dumbfounded for a few minutes, her mouth opening and closing with letting any sound out. "I think I'm dreaming…" She finally whispered.

"No, you're not. I'm here and I'll always be here". He said leaning to kiss her. "Okay. I'm going. See you there?" He said taking his wallet and keys.

"Yeah. Love you".

"Love you more. Be careful, sweetheart. Don't take so long". He said and left, letting her at the middle of her living room with a wide smile on her face.

Forty minutes later most of the team was already on the bar, aside from JJ and Emily who texted Garcia saying that they were on their way. All of them were on the table talking and drinking when the brunette and the blonde agents approached the table. "Sweetcheeks, I missed you!" Garcia squealed putting Emily into a crushing hug.

"I missed you too Penelope". She chuckled. Going to the table she was greeted by the rest of the team. "Hey guys".

"Princess, how nice is to see your gorgeous self. And must I add" He said taking a double look on her outfit "you're even more gorgeous, damn!"

"Thank you Morgan". She chuckled giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Hey Dave". She said eyeing the older man with a smile.

"Hello bellísima". He said getting up to greet her. "I think you just gave our friend a stroke with your wardrobe choice". He whispered on her ear.

"Good. That's the point". She said and they both chuckle. "Hey Reid, I can't believe I'm saying that but I miss your ramble every day".

He blushed when she kissed his cheek. "I missed you too Emily. The bullpen is empty without you".

"Good thing I'm coming back then right". She winked at him. "Hey Hotch". She said with a smile taking the vacating sit beside him.

"Prentiss. Good to see you". He smiled at her. Inside he was glaring at her. This wasn't the outfit she was wearing when he left. She was wearing a simple jeans and a navy t-shirt. Now she was wearing a black pencil skirt and a very tight and low-cut red t-shirt with black stilettos that were making this very uncomfortable on his pants. He continued his conversation with Rossi, taking a sip of his beer when he felt a hand sneaking on his thigh, making him choke. Suddenly there was a hand patting his back.

"Are you okay Hotch?" He turned to see Prentiss look at him with worried eyes. The little minx.

He glared at her while wiping his mouth with a tissue. "Yes, I'm fine Prentiss. The beer just went the wrong way". He gave her a look that said that she was going to pay him later for that and saw her smiling wickedly before look away. Turning back to Dave he saw the man smirking at him.

"You, my friend, are screwed". He said chuckling.

"Don't I know it". He said shaking his head.

An hour later and several rounds of beers, they were all on the table when a bartender came with a drink and put it in front of Emily. "With the compliments of the gentleman on the bar". He said pointing to a blond, tall and handsome man that was smiling and waving at her.

"Ohh, princess is on fire tonight!" Morgan teased.

She chuckled and took the drink, giving back to the bartender. "You can thank the gentleman for me but please say that I'm not interested". He nodded and went back to the bar with the drink.

"Scratch that, princess it's picky tonight!" Morgan chuckled.

"Not picky Derek. Just… not interested". She shrugged. At the corner of her eye she could see her boyfriend smiling slightly and then she felt a hand on her thigh and a squeeze.

"That's because of that little friend of yours, Sugarplum?" Garcia asked.

"Little friend? What little friend?" JJ asked curiously.

"Oh, I called her yesterday and then I heard a man's chuckle and then I heard a moan and then she hung up the phone very quickly and breathlessly and it wasn't so difficult to guess what she was going to do, if you know what I mean".

"You go Em!" JJ joked and everyone laughed.

Emily blushed deeply. "Okay, can we stop to talk about my private life?"

"You are no fun Emily! Tell us how he is?!" Garcia asked.

"Yeah, princess, he's handsome like your favorite chocolate piece of cake here?" Morgan asked raising his eyebrows suggestively.

She snorted. "Oh honey. Believe me; you can't hold a candle to him".

"Uhhhhh. Tell us more, tell us more!" Garcia squealed.

"Pleaseeee". She groaned. "Can I just say that he makes me happy? Happier than I've ever been? I'm not ready yet to introduce him but you'll all know who he is soon because I know I will spend the rest of my life with him". She said seriously.

There was a silence on the table until JJ spoke up. "You're really in love, aren't you?"

She smiled and eyed her friends, her eyes lingering a second longer on the object of her love. "I didn't know what love was before I met him".

"Then let's make a toast! To Emily, to her happiness! And God help that poor guy if he ever hurt you because I will destroy him". Morgan said.

"I wouldn't have any different". She said raising her beer. "Cheers!"

"Cheers!" Everyone said and clicked their drinks. When she clicked her beer with Hotch he looked at her and blinked lightly giving her a smile. She was right. He didn't know what love was before her, at least not in this way. And he would spend the rest of his life with her. That much he knew.
