7 Years Later
Hotch and Emily are sitting in the swing in the back yard watching their children playing, they now have 5 kids, Jack age 13, twins Anna and Hannah almost 7 years old and then there is Zachary age 5 and then the little surprise another little girl Sophie who is 3 1/2. The boys all look like their dad and the little girls all look like their momma.
Emily smiles as she sees Jack pushing Sohpie on the swings, she intertwines fingers with Hotch and says. "Jack is such an amazing big brother, all of his brothers and sisters want to be just like him". Hotch kisses her temple and says, "we do have an awesome family don't we Em"?, she grinned and said, "we sure do honey".
Hotch looks at his watch and says, ""what time is everybody suppose to be here"?, she smiled and says, "about noon sweetie", he kisses her lips gently and gets up and says, "Jack can you help me move the grill please, it is almost time for everybody to start arriving". Jack helps Sophie down from the swing and laughs as he watches her run over to Emily.
Sophie claps her hands and Emily wraps her arms around her waist and starts swinging them back and forth, Anna, Hannah and Zachary are all playing dodge ball and waiting on the rest of the kids to show up. Anna looks up when she sees JJ and her family walking through the gate, she runs over to JJ and says, "auntie JJ, auntie JJ where are Henry, Anthony and Bella"?, JJ smiles and says, they are helping their daddy carry the food inside".
Sohpie claps her hands and starts screaming, "aunie J, aunie J", JJ reaches over and picks up the little girl and says, "how are you my little angel girl"?, Emily smiled and said, "she just woke up from her nap a few minutes ago and she is ready for the fun". Hotch and Will came into the back yard a few minutes followed by their kids, all of which headed quickly towards the swings.
JJ looked at Emily and said, "are Reid and Desiree gonna be able to make it"?, Emily kissed the top of Sophies head and said, "yeah, Reid called about half an hour ago and said that they would definitely be here". JJ smiled and said, "I can't believe that they have been married for 6 years and have 3 kids".
Hotch laughed across the yard as he and Will were putting the food on the grill, JJ looked at Emily and said, "watch out big boys play over there Em",
she laughed and said, "yeah I don't think they are ever gonna grow up". Henry looked up and saw Reid walking through the gate and ran over to him and said, "uncle Reid, uncle Reid".
Reid kissed the top of his head and said, "how are you Henry"?, he laughed and said,"I'm doing good, are you still gonna help me with my science project this weekend"?, he laughed and said, "of course I am". Desiree walked through the gate with her 3 daughters right behind her, Reid looked up and said,
"Heather can you and Haley help your mom with Angel"?, Heather nodded her head and said, "yeah daddy".
Desi finally made her way over to the other ladies with Angel in her arms, Emily smiled and said, "come to auntie Em Angel", Emily held out her arms and Angel instantly started leaning over for Emily to get her. Desi smiled and said, "we were afraid that she wasn't gonna get to come but she kept saying,
"me go bye bye".
JJ laughed and said, "they are so sweet at that age", Emily smiled and said, "they sure are, but they grow up sooooooooo fast", Desiree smiled and said,
"don't I know that it doesn't seem like Heather should be 5 and Haley almost 4. JJ smiled and said, "exactly, it seems like yesterday that Bella was crawling across the floor now look at her".
Desiree looked at JJ and said, "I can't believe that we beat Derek and Pen here today", Emily smiled and said, "I think they are having a hard time getting started with Thomas". JJ smiled and said, "awwwwwww he is soooooooo adorable and I just want to kiss his little face all over", Emily laughed and said, "sounds like you and Will need to have another baby", she shook her head and said, "ohhhhhhhhh nooooooooo, I would much rather spoil all of my neices and nephews, thank you very much".
Derek and Penelope finally pull up in Hotchs driveway and as they are getting Thomas out Rossi and Strauss show up, Rossi kisses Penelopes cheek and says, "let me help you with him kitten". Penelope smiles and says, "thanks my italian stallion", Erin smiled and said, "here let me help you carry that stuff Penelope", she smiles and says, "thanks Erin".
Derek opens the door and 4 of their 5 children jump out and head to the back yard, Derek looks up at their oldest and says, "Amelia can you Josh watch over Ethan and Eva please until we can get this food unloaded"?, Amelia says, "sure dad". Rossi smiles and says, your babies are growing up on you huh Morgan"?, he laughed and said, "yeah even this little monster here".
Thomas cackles in Rossis arms and pulls on his beard and says, "Nonnooooooooooo", Rossi smiles and says, "that's right kiddo it's me", Thomas laid his head on Rossis chest and puts his thumb in his mouth. Erin looks at Penelope and says, "how is everything going"?, she laughed and said, "everything is great, the kids couldn't wait to get here today so that they could play with their cousins".
Derek, Rossi, Penelope, Erin and baby Thomas make their way into the back yard and laugh as they see all of the kids playing together, Derek wrapped his arms around her waist and says, "this cookout was a great idea baby girl". She turned her head and kissed his cheek and said, "we don't get together like we use to and I really miss everybody".
Derek smiled and said, "yeah me to goddess", Penelope intertwined fingers with her husband as they made it over to the ladies, Hotch says, "hey Morgan why don't you come over and help us with the grill". He kisses Penelope on the lips and says, "I'm gonna go play baby girl", she laughed and said, "play nice handsome, or you are sooooooooo gonna get spanked later", he laughed and said, "promises promises goddess", she grinned as she watched him walk across the yard.
The day flew by as the adults laughed and talked and as the kids all played, it was now almost dark and the adults were sitting around the picnic table talking about old times when Derek said, "I would like to propose a toast", everybody held up their glasses and Derek took a deep breath and looked at everybody before he spoke.
He said, "you all are more than my friends, you are my family and love each and every one of you, we have been through our share of bad times and our share of good times but now we are having the best times". Everybody raised their glasses and said, "to family", they then took a drink of their wine before looking over at their children.
As the torches flickered late into the night the children one by one made their way to their parents and all of the little ones ended up falling asleep in the arms of their daddys. Penelope, JJ, Emily, Desi and Erin smiled as they watched their wonderful husbands sitting around rocking their sleeping children, Rossi smiled as he kissed the head of Hotchs 5 year old Zachary as he fell asleep as he rocked him in his loving arms.
They all knew that they would be bonded together forever as more than friends but as a family
