A/N: Hello! Before anything I'd like to apologize but I need to answer some reviews that had been posted on my fics, not just here, but the person doesn't have an account so I can't send a PM. I don't know what your problem is with me, honestly. If you have so much trouble reading my writing why do you keep reading? Just stop it. When I read something that I don't like it just stop wasting my time with it. If you can't understand a word of my stories, don't read it. I take constructive criticism but your reviews aren't it. I know my English isn't perfect and I appreciate when someone sends me a review pointing that I wrote a word wrong or that I should change something in my wiriting. That's why I use quotations now, even if I'm not used with them. But you saying that my English is awful and that ANYONE can understand my stories is a lie because even though I know it isn't perfect I know that if it was so bad I wouldn't have so many views, so many reviews and followers and favorites. If it was that bad I would get lots of bad reviews and I don't have it. So if you keep insulting me with your comments I will keep deleting them because it's my right to not want someone denigrating my fics. And also, can you stop accusing me of copying from other authors? The ONLY fic I used another one as an INSPIRATION was Oblivion and I asked for kbrewster permission before I even started. But this one and Prince Aaron? And my other fics? Please send me the link of the stories you THINK I'm copying because I would like very much to read them. Stop making false accusations. I can't even say that I'll report you for it because you don't even put a name on your reviews. To finish, just saying again. I don't force anyone to read my fics. I started to write because I wanted to improve my English and I know I'm succeding. And I won't stop writing just because you don't like it. It is pratice that improves, so I'll keep praticing. If it bothers you so much, don't read it. If you send a review with suggestions or really constructive criticism I'll be happy to atend you. Also, you don't need to write dozens of reviews saying the same thing. I understood you on the first one. My English isn't that bad.

Anyway, here is another chapter, and it's pure fluffy. The next one will come next week and I will wrap this in just three more chapters. I have another ideas, MY ideas for other fics and I want to finish this and Oblivion before starting something new.

Disclaimer: Don't own them.

Chapter 24

On Wednesday afternoon the team was finishing the briefing and Emily was eager to go. Her father was going to pick her at the office and they were going straight to the airport. Just as Hotch finished the briefing she started to grab her things. "So, that's it? Can I go?" She asked excitedly and he chuckled.

"I don't know, I think I need to see some things with you about your last report". When she huffed and glared at him he chuckled again. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Go ahead, have fun. See you Monday".

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are the best boss ever, just the best!" She said smiling at him and hurried out of the room.

"She got two days off? Why?" Morgan whined.

"Because she asked me. It was a good reason". Hotch answered shrugging. "That's it for today. See everyone tomorrow…" He said taking his briefcase and leaving the room. He had asked Haley if he could come over tonight to see Jack. He also wanted to talk to her about his plans with Emily. He wanted to take Jack on Saturday to choose a ring.

He parked in front of his old house and went to the front door, knocking it. Haley answered smiling and invited him in, saying that Jack was upstairs on the bathroom. "Where's Emily?" She asked.

"Probably catching her flight. She's going to the French Alps with her father until Sunday afternoon. They're going to visit her grandfather". He answered following her to the kitchen.

"Oh… so what are your plans for the weekend?" She asked while taking care of the dinner.

"Actually that was one of the reasons I asked if I could come over today". He started. "Tomorrow and Friday I'll have to work but if you let me I'd like to take Jack for the day on Saturday".

"Of course, Aaron…" She said nodding.

"Well… I'd like to take him to help me to choose a ring". He said and saw her look up at him with wide eyes.

"Are you going to propose?" She asked shocked.

He looked at her a little apprehensive and nodded. "Yes… I had lunch with her father yesterday and asked his blessing and I'm already planning something to do when we come clean with the Bureau. I know we're not together so long but I really love her… and I honestly don't see why I have to wait when I know what I want right now. We're living together already and I want to make it permanent…"

"Wow… I really didn't see that coming…" She said chuckling. "Well, I knew you two would get married but I didn't think it would be so fast".

"What do you think?" He asked her seriously.

"What do you mean what do I think?" She asked frowning.

"What do you think about me marrying Emily? She'll be Jack's step-mother, you have every right to have an opinion".

She looked at him smiling and shook her head. "I think it's great". She started and saw the shock on his features. "I can see how much she makes you happy Aaron. Why would I have a problem with that? I think you both deserve this and I think you couldn't have picked someone better to be Jack's step-mom".

He let out a breath and smiled. "Thank God. I was hoping you would be supportive but actually hearing it's really good".

She chuckled. "I really want you to be happy Aaron. I'm also meeting someone and it would be really mean if I tried to impose you on something like that".

He smiled and nodded at her. Everything was going out perfectly. His next step would have to wait until Saturday and he could barely wait.

Saturday afternoon came and Hotch was with Jack looking for Emily's ring. He had explained to his son what he pretended to do and he was thrilled with the idea of his father marrying Miss Emily. Hotch couldn't be more grateful that his son had taken his girlfriend so well. They were on the fifth jewelry and still hadn't found the perfect ring.

They were either too flashy or too simple. He wanted the perfect ring. He wanted something simple but sparkling, something that would fit perfectly on her beautiful finger, something unique, graceful, beautiful, just like her.

They were almost leaving the store when Jack spotted something on the end of the vitrine. "Daddy, look!" He said pointing.

Hotch looked at the ring and smiled. It was a simple princess-cut diamond on a silver band and in each side there were little rubies incrusted. It was perfect, simple and beautiful. And he knew she loved red. And he loved red on her.

He looked at Jack and nodded. "I think it's perfect, buddy. It's just perfect".

Sunday evening came and Hotch was going insane. Emily called every night to speak with him but wasn't enough. The bed was empty and cold and he couldn't close his eyes without thinking about her, without wanting her, without craving for her. She had called that morning and said that she would be arriving by seven and he didn't have to pick her because her dad was taking her home. He looked at the clock. Seven-fifteen. Where was she? He was slowly going insane.

He heard the key on the lock and jumped from the couch just as she was stepping in. She closed the door and placed her bag by the wall, looking up at him with a bright smile on her face. He froze. Looking at her, so pretty, her cheeks flushed from the cold and her smile so big and shining, he just froze. He'd never seen such an exquisite creature and he asked himself how he had lived all these years without her.

"Are you going to just look or are you going to kiss me?" She asked lightly and his heart melted, his eyes watering and he knew, not that he didn't know before, but in that particular moment, he knew he couldn't live without her anymore.

He took her in his arms and kissed her thoroughly, savoring her taste after so many days and enjoying the little mewls and whimpers she was making. He kissed her until he couldn't breathe anymore and then he pulled apart, taking the sight of her swollen mouth and fluttered eyes and smiled. "I love you".

She opened her eyes and looked at him, smiling brightly. "I love you too, so much". She whispered and leaned in to kiss him again. During the kiss he thought about his plan. He would to take her out for dinner in a great restaurant next weekend and then he would take her for a walk, stopping on the perfect place on the park, right under the moon light, and would knelt on one knee and ask her to marry him.

And suddenly, his plan didn't make any sense. Why he would wait until next weekend, praying that they wouldn't be called on a case, when she was there, beautiful, magnificent, right where he kissed her for the first time, where they passed so many good moments, where they professed their love for each other so many times. He thanked God that he had hidden the velvet box on the small cabinet on the living room because he didn't want to go to their bedroom and spoil the moment.

So he pulled back from the kiss before she could start to raise his shirt over his head and cupped her face with his hands. "I missed you so much… these days without you here were so lonely and so cold… it made me realize how empty my life is without you…"

"I missed you too…" She started but he interrupted her, shaking his head.

"These two months we've been together made me realize that my life doesn't make any sense without you in it. It made me realize that I don't want to live without you, not even a day, let alone the rest of my life. You taught me to live again Emily. You taught me how to make plans again, how to wish new things, better things for my life. You taught me that even if my first marriage didn't work it I can wish to make something new. I can wish to build something better. And I want to do that. And I want to do that with you".

He pulled apart just to pick the ring on the cabinet and saw her beautiful face change from confused to shock and then a bright smile starting the playing on her lips. He knelt down in from of her and grinned at the little gasp she emitted. "I know we've been together for only two months and I know it can seem too early but I know what I want and I know it from the first day, when I kissed you right here, in this room. I knew from that moment that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you like I never thought I could love someone and you make me the happiest I've ever been. And if you let me, I will spend the rest of my days trying to make you feel the same way". He opened the box to reveal the ring and smiled at her. "Emily Ann Prentiss, please, will you marry me?" He asked and she let out a sob.

Her mind was overwhelmed and she couldn't form words properly so she just nodded her head eagerly and sobbed when he put the ring on her finger and kissed it lovingly. He stood up and caressed her cheeks, wiping her tears with his thumb and smiling at her. "I love you" She managed to choke and when he kissed her she was sure she had never felt so happy.

A/N: Please let a review :)

The next chapter will be angst, drama and hurt/confort. And maybe the team will find out about them. I'm sorry for any errors and I'm sorry again for my outburst my I have my right of reply.
