Thank you for your reviews on that last chapter. This chapter says goodbye to Agent Hunter. I love hearing your opinions and they really do make me want to update quicker. :)
The day had finally arrived and she was more than excited about seeing him again, two whole weeks of being back home. They had both decided prior to this visit that they would tell the team they were together, it had been just over six months since they had got together. So it was about time they told other people, they wanted to show everyone that they are together instead of hiding it.
She had told him that he didn't have to come and pick her up but as soon as she came through customs she saw him just sitting there patiently waiting.
"Hey, I thought I'd told you I would get a cab"
"Nonsense, come here"
He grasps her in a tight embrace and he feels whole again, the exact same feeling is spreading through Emily as soon as she is in his arms.
"I missed you princess"
"I missed you too baby"
He lets go of her just to grab her bags and walk towards the exit so they can go home.
"You still ok for meeting up with the team tonight?"
"Yeah, I am excited to see everyone, I've missed them."
"They've missed you too Em."
They arrive at Derek's house and as soon as they are through the door Clooney comes bounding up wanting some attention.
Emily leans down to give him some of the attention he wants. "Hey buddy"
"He's missed you too Em."
"Aw Clooney come here boy."
Later that night
Derek and Emily are making their way up to Rossi's front door where the rest of the team are waiting.
"You ok baby?"
"Yeah I'm just nervous"
"Don't be princess it's just the guys."
After knocking on the door it only takes a few seconds for Rossi to open the door.
"Bella it's so good to see you, come in come in"
As he ushers them through to the room where everyone is waiting Derek spots Agent Hunter, he has no idea why she is here, she doesn't know Emily. He decides to just ignore it, the night isn't about her it's about telling the team.
After all the hugs and greetings are over with they all make their way onto the couch to have a good catch up.
Derek coughs to get everyone's attention "Guys listen up a minute"
Everyone stops what they are doing and looks to Derek, he meets Emily's eye and she knows it's time to tell them.
"Well as much as I like hanging with you guys there was an actual reason for this meet up, as you all probably know every holiday I've taken this year I've been in London." JJ and Garcia share a knowing look, not missed by Emily and she knows then that they all already know. Emily jumps In before Derek has time to finish.
"By the look you guys just gave I'm assuming you already know that Derek and I are together"
After saying that Derek and Emily notice that they start handing over money to Rossi.
"Guys what are you doing?"
Garcia looks sheepish and replies "Well we kind of had a bet that this get together was for this announcement"
"Thanks to you guys I am now a hundred dollars richer"
This makes the group erupt in laughter, but Emily notices that the trainee agent is the only one not joining in on the laughter. She decides to let it go for now.
After all the congratulations and the took you long enough they all relax back and enjoy each other's company. Emily gets up to go get another drink and without anyone else noticing Hunter follows her.
"You do know it won't last, I mean you don't even live in the same country, you really think Derek will stay faithful"
Emily is shocked at the audacity of this woman. "Excuse me"
"You heard me"
"Oh don't worry I heard you loud and clear, I was just giving you the chance to back track."
"No I stand by what I said, you are not anybody special, and I don't even know you and I can tell that you obviously have some hold over Derek."
Back In the Living Room
The group realise that it's taking Emily a little bit too long to get a drink and that's when they realise that hunter isn't there.
Derek is the first one to speak up "I'm just going to go check"
"I'll come too" JJ replies.
Before they get there they catch the tail end of what hunter has just said to Emily, JJ makes herself known before it goes any further, making Derek stand out of sight.
Hunter notices JJ and her whole demeanour changes into what it was before she followed Emily.
"Hi JJ was just getting to know Emily some more"
Emily just stares at Hunter and JJ can tell that if looks could kill hunter would be dead.
"Is that right, it sure didn't sound like that to me, in fact it sounded like you pretty much threatening Emily."
The rest of the group move into the kitchen and they can feel the tension in the air.
"What's going on here?" Hotch demands.
"Nothing sir, I was just getting to know Emily"
"Stop lying, I heard what you said" JJ growls out.
Hunters face turns to stone knowing she has been caught. "I was just telling Emily what she already knew nothing wrong with that"
"Agent Hunter I think it would be best you left, and I want you in my office first thing Monday morning, I don't think the BAU is the best place for you to do your training"
"What why, because I told some stuck up bitch the truth"
Hearing this makes Derek's blood boil "Do not speak to her like that now don't lose more dignity and just leave"
"I'm going and Derek, if you ever want someone better you know where to find me" she saunters past Derek and out of the house.
Derek looks over at Emily to see she is laughing which starts the whole group of in hysterical laughter.
"Well no one can say team nights are boring" Garcia muses aloud.
They all make their way back through to the living room to enjoy the rest of the night with each other, agent hunter never mentioned again.
