I own nothing.
They got back from the case a couple of days later and having spoken to Emily on the phone is mom had left before he got back. They had just got back to the BAU and Derek was just going to collect his things and head straight home to Emily. Derek had spoken to Hotch on the jet home and he had agreed to Derek having the rest of the time Emily was here off. Which he was extremely happy about.
He was making his way to the elevator when Garcia shouted out to him.
"You going home hot stuff?"
"Yeah baby girl, you heading out too?"
"No I've some things to do first, say hi to Em for me please."
"Will do mama" and with that he was off not wanting to spend a moment extra away from Emily.
Emily was cozied up on the couch waiting for Derek to come back, she had spent yesterday alone. Fran having gone home the day before, and for once she wasn't lonely or sad, she felt like she was home. For the first time in a long time she felt perfectly happy and now she is wondering if this is what the missing piece was all along. She doesn't get a chance to think any more on that matter because there is a knock on the door, she gets up and answers the door, to see the man that has consumed her thoughts for most of the day.
"Forgot my keys"
He steps inside and before she has a chance to answer he has her embraced in a tight hug.
"I have missed you baby"
"I've missed you too Derek"
He lets go of her to drop his bag in the hall and makes his way into the kitchen dragging Emily with him.
"Have you ate?"
"No I was waiting for you, what do you fancy?"
"Chinese"
"Ok baby ill phone up and get them to deliver."
"Oh I spoke to Hotch, got the rest of the time off with you"
"You didn't have to do that you know"
"I know I wanted to."
She walks up to him and kisses him "I love you"
"Love you too princess, call for dinner, then you can tell me all about what you and mama got up to while I was away."
Later on when dinner was finished and Derek had been informed of the girls day out that had taken place, they were cuddled up on the couch. After a couple of hours he looked at Emily and saw that she had fallen asleep, she looked so peaceful. He didn't want to wake her so got himself up and picked her up and carried her to bed.
She woke up when she had been put in bed.
"Derek?"
"I'm here princess" he says while getting into bed.
"How long was I sleeping?"
"I'm not sure baby not that long I don't think"
She moves herself closer to him wanting to be in his arms.
"Derek"
"Yeah"
"I think I want to come home"
He turns to look at her, more for to check she had actually said what he thought he heard.
"Really" she hears the smile he has on his face through just one word.
"Yeah, yesterday when I was here myself I realised that this is where I want to be and that London, the job that wasn't the missing piece. The missing piece was in front of me the whole time, it only took me moving for us to realise it I guess. I won't be able to come back now though, I will have to go back and talk to Clyde and train someone else, but I can't live there anymore."
"Baby you have no idea how happy I am to hear that, I wanted to ask you to come home, hell that night at JJ's wedding I wanted to ask you to stay but I thought this was what you needed."
"I think it maybe was, even if it was just to make us realise what we really wanted."
He pulls her in even closer to him just holding her, hearing her say those words has made him the happiest man alive and he doesn't mind that it won't happen straight away, that doesn't matter because she is coming home.
This isn't the ending I'm working on a couple more chapters now, I think maybe 3 or 4 more chapters and that will probably be me finished. Thank you for the reviews on the last chapter. I love you all J
