Thank you for your reviews I am glad you are happy that Emily is coming back, I hope you like this chapter.
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing.
The day had come when Emily had to go back to London and he was happy that it would be the last time he had to say goodbye to her, but it also meant he wouldn't get to see her for roughly six months. He was going to miss her so much but the end result would be his happy ending.
Emily didn't want to go back but she knew she owed it to Clyde. She was so glad that this was the last goodbye because every past one had killed a little part of her. She had told Derek that it would be probably six months before she could come back but in reality it would probably be about three, and she wasn't going to tell him that, she wanted it to be a surprise.
The announcement rang out that her plane was ready to be boarded, Derek hugged her tight.
"Text me when you land baby"
"I will, I'll see you soon ok?"
"Yes you will princess, the quicker you go the quicker I get you back."
He squeezes a little tighter, and their lips meet.
No more words are needed, she turns around away from him and making her last journey to London. Three months and I'll be back she thinks to herself, Derek thinking almost the same, waits till she disappears before he begins the walk back to his car. Glancing at his watch he notices he's already going to be late, not that he cares today.
Arriving at work half an hour late he notices that the team are already in the briefing room, he dumps his bag in his office and quickly makes his way up to the room.
"Sorry I'm late Hotch, I was dropping Emily off at the airport."
Hotch just shoots his famous glare, and Derek knows not to push it. They end up flying out on a case twenty minutes later.
Getting out of the taxi and making her way up to the apartment she notices someone standing at her door, at first she doesn't recognise who it is but then as soon as he opens his mouth she knows exactly who it is.
"How was America Darling?"
"Clyde, what do you want?"
She trudges past him to open her door, leaving the door open for him to follow.
"Well that was a lovely greeting Emily. You arranged this meeting and now you are wondering why I am here"
"I arranged the meeting for tomorrow at work if you were listening, not for when I've spent far too long on a cramped seat."
"Well, ok I might have the date wrong, never mind I am here now might as well tell me now, although I have an inkling what it is."
She makes her way into the kitchen needing a much needed coffee, she pulls two mugs out of the cupboard knowing he will want one too. She doesn't answer him until she has finished making their drinks. She hands him his and makes herself comfortable at the breakfast bar.
"I want to go back home, and I know what you're thinking, but I mean it Clyde, I should of never came here, I was running away again and I am sick of it, what I wanted was in DC the whole time I was just to pig-headed to do anything about it or to even see it."
"Are you quite finished darling?"
She just looks at him with an annoyed look on her face.
"Like I said a second ago I was pretty sure this was what you wanted when you requested this meeting and I am pretty sure you don't know what I'm thinking because if you did you wouldn't have had to give me your much rehearsed speech. Emily I was actually surprised you accepted this offer and I knew you would eventually realise you had made a mistake, which is why during these two weeks you have been away I have found a job for you if you want it back in DC."
That was not what she was expecting. It takes her a while to actually comprehend what he had just said.
"What kind of job?"
"I give you that big speech and the only thing you pick up on is the job" she gives him a little smile.
"Well, the guy who ran the DC office has just retired and they were looking for his replacement when I had a feeling you wanted to be back there, so I called them and talked to them and it turns out you were at the top of their list anyway, so if you want it it's yours."
For once she is stuck for words not believing what he had actually just said.
"Are you serious?"
"Deadly"
"They do realise that I can't start straight away, I need to train my replacement?"
"Yes Emily they know all this, we've already decided on a person for your job and really it shouldn't take more than a few weeks. So you will be back in DC in just over a month."
Before she can reply his phone rings, "I need to go darling, I will see you tomorrow at work and we will introduce you to your replacement"
She doesn't even get a chance to reply before he has left. She takes herself through to the living room to think things over. That happened really fast, it's what I want, stop over thinking things and enjoy it, you are going home. Her mind was racing but the last thought stuck out, she was going home. A lot quicker than she thought but this just made her smile more.
She pulls out her phone, remembering that she hadn't texted Derek Got back safe, call me when you get back from work I love you.
She makes her way upstairs to go to bed knowing the next few weeks are going to be extremely busy.
I love reviews so let me know what you think, ive got like 2 more chapters planned, then I will probably do a sequel of sorts if you want one.
