I got a request for an epilogue, and I enjoyed writing it! I hope you all enjoy!
Epilogue
The next nine months were short before Emily delivered a beautiful baby boy named Darren. The day he was born Jack was sitting next to Emily looking at his new brother and Hotch was standing next to them, looking down at this beautiful family that had came together by fate. It was there with his two sons and Emily that he asked her for her hand in marriage, giving her a Leo Diamond, Princess cut ring with Darren's birthstone on one side and Jacks on the other. They were a family and that's how they would stay.
Emily and Hotch continued working with the BAU, staying extremely busy, but on their days off and in the evenings they made the most of their time, spending it as a family. They would have sunny days at the park and rainy movie days inside. Sergio was a big hit with the kids and Hotch would eventually get use to him sleeping on their bed. There also was another new addition to the family, a small minature dashund they named Gigi. Gigi stayed in Jack's room. Haley's sister continued watching Darren and Jack when work called Emily and Hotch away from their kids.
The team grew even closer once Adam was born. They all spent many days together in the park, cooking out, birthday parties and game night. Rossi's was a popular place to meet considering he lived in a huge mansion and he could make the best Italian food for miles and the kids loved his pizzas.
They were a family, all of them. Nothing could break the bonds that held these people together.
"When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching - they are your family. "
