Meanwhile in JJ office JJ was in her office trying to work but couldn't focus for the past 3 months she could help but think something was missing. She couldn't help but think that something in her marriage was off, there was no love left in it. Will was great at first helping her recover and being a gentlemen but it couldn't help cover the fact that she felt nothing to him. JJ gave up on the file she was reading, she walked over to the couch in her office hoping a few minutes away from the work could help. Looking around her office JJ spotted something partly lying under her desk. Moving to get it she believed it was just another case paper. Picking it she realized it was a photo, but what the photo was of shocked her. It was of her and Emily, Emily was holding JJ from behind and kissing her cheek, JJ looked at her own face seeing that it has the biggest smile on it ever, she couldn't remember a smile that big scene the day Henry was born. Not even on her wedding day. She turned the photo over to see if anything was writing on the back and there was what looked to be a note from Emily "My beautiful Jennifer, this is my favorite picture of us. We look so natural together, that was the night I knew you where it for me. The way your smile started getting bigger and bigger, the way you weren't scared of my wall. You have always been beautiful but I swear in that moment you were perfect. Love Em" JJ could not get to PG office faster after reading what Emily had written.
"Pen what is this?" JJ panicked handing PG the picture "Was I in a relationship with her? Was I really engaged to Will when I was in the hospital? Is this why I feel like something is always missing from my life? Is it her? Is this why she'll talk to you guys but not me, why she'll only come near me is if we have to work together and even then it's tense? I'm so confuse Pen!" JJ was basically in tears pacing back and forth in the techs small room.
"JJ calm down sweet cheeks" PG tried "one question at a time, my blonde blue-eyed fairly."
"What is that?" JJ asked point at the picture
"That would be a picture of you and my pregnant profiler" PG stated vaguely
"Was I in engaged to Will when I was in the hospital?"
"JJ you could remember everyone and everything but her, where you?" JJ pondered the question for a good 5 minutes
"N-no I wasn't, we divorced…" JJ said looking PG to see if she was right PG nodded "Is the something missing from my life her?" PG looked to the ground
"You'll have to ask her that sugarplum"
"I'm asking you Garcia"
"And you will have to ask her." That's when it hit JJ like a brick everything she couldn't remember all came flooding back well bits and pieces about the brunette profiler, her girlfriend, the love of her life… It was so overwhelming that JJ started crying.
Back in the bullpen Emily was finishing the last of her case files, not ready to leave yet so she took some of the geniuses' case files. After finishing those off she got up and walked to Hotch's office she knocked then poked her head through
"Hey Hotch I'm heading out, I finished the last of the cases I had." Emily said
"It was nice working with you Prentiss, keep in touch. I expect a phone call one a week." Hotch said giving one of his rare smiles
"We will, I'll make sure to call. Hey if you ever need someone to watch Jack now when you're on a case I'll do it" Emily joked
"I might just have to take you up on that offer Prentiss" Hotch said "Good luck now, if you ever need help with your kid just call, bye"
"I will Hotch, bye" Emily left his office and though about the time her and JJ help Hotch find a Christmas present for Jack, a faint smile found its way on her lips.
*Flash Back*
Emily had just finished all her paper work for the day and couldn't wait to get home to see her beautiful, wonderful, most perfect girlfriend ever and her handsome son who Emily thought of as her own, Christmas was just around the corner only two more weeks and Santa would be visiting the Jareau-Prentiss household the two women planed on spending that holiday with Henry and there BAU family later in the day. Moving towards JJ office Emily was stopped by Hotch
"Prentiss" Hotch said, Emily groaned inwards hoping they didn't have a case
"Yes boss?" Emily asked
"I need a favor" Hotch said simply
"Okay, what kind of favor?" Emily asked quick and to the point
"Could you and JJ help me find presents for Jack, Haley would usually do it but…" Hotch trailed off it hand only been a few months since Haley Hotchner had passed taking pity on the older man Emily agreed to help, moving to her girlfriends office
"Hello, Emmy" JJ said still looking at a case file, Emily stood there wide eyed shaking her head
"How do you do that?" Emily questioned JJ looked up to see Emily standing next to her desk with her arms crossed
"Because everyone else knows I would shot them" JJ said in pure innocences
"But you would never shot me, would you baby?" Emily asked hoping the answer is a no
"I love you too much to do that" JJ said standing up and raping her arms around Emily
"So… What are the chances you would help me help Hotch?"
"Emily" JJ wined "I thought we were going to headed home and have some cuddles and watch Henry be adorable" JJ finished with a pouty face
"But it's to help Hotch" Before JJ could comment Emily continued "Just some shopping to get a few toy for Jack, we all know Haley use to do that before…" Emily trailed off.
"Fine" JJ said "But only for Jake the poor boy misses his mother like crazy, but I will get Emily and JJ time after this right?" Emily nodded
"Of course baby, all we have to get is some soccer things and some Legos." Emily said
"Yay! I love soccer" JJ grinned at the idea plus some Emily and JJ time, JJ packed up all her belongings that she would need at home, said there good byes and made way towards the car.
*FLASH BACK OVER*
She moved to Rossi office knocking on his door she enters not even waiting for an answer
"Hi Rossi"
"Hello Bella" Emily smirked at the familiar nickname "I just wanted to say I'm leaving" Emily gave a sad smile
"Come here Bella" Rossi said getting out of his seat and opening his arms for a hug, Emily gladly accepted. Everyone knew that Rossi and Emily had a father daughter relationship, one that ran deep then they really knew. Emily was like the child Rossi left always proud of her, and Rossi was like the dad Emily never had. They shared a special connection; he was the first to know of Emily's abortion and the first to know of Emily and JJ's relationship. No one quiet knew how deep their relationship ran, not even them. After the countless nights Rossi found Emily crying over JJ he would help her always.
"You better call me at least twice a week, expect random drop in's and I better have pictures of my grandchild" Rossi said pulling away from the embrace Emily smiled at him nodding. Rossi kisses her forehead before he placed on her almost nonexistent baby bump.
"This is not a goodbye but simply a see you later" Rossi said
"See you later Rossi" Emily smiled walking out of his office. She next found Reid filling his tea in the break room
"Hey, I'm leaving Reid" He looked up from his tea with a frown
"Why?" Was all he asked
"You know why."
"Do I, I mean really Emily, I tend not to do good with social situation"' Emily gave him a pointed look
"You know why, it's not like I'm leaving the country you will know where I live, and you better stop by to see the little one" Emily gave him a small smile, he had a sad smile
"Okay, I mean you're not leaving yet you did say you were leaving though to a different country and I…." Reid started to ramble
"Reid if I go anywhere you will know, okay?" Emily tried to calm him down "it's not going to be like Doyle situation, that was 3 years ago okay? If I move I will tell you do you understand?" Reid nodded before moving in hugging Emily they hug for a couple of minutes before pulling a part and say a goodbye. Moving away Emily thought of time her and JJ walked in on Reid and Henry talking naps on each other. Walking to the bullpen she finds Morgan her partner for the past 4 years
"You leaving Mama Bear?" Morgan joked
"Dammit Morgan" Emily laughed "everyone else it sweet but then you go and say Mama Bear, do you not understand my dislike for that name" Morgan chuckled
"Well you have to put up with it, either way I'll be seeing you later." Morgan said
"Will you now?" Emily said giving him a playful look
"I will Mama Bear if you think I'll let you move and decorate that nursery by yourself then you are wrong." Morgan face had gone from playful to serious
"I know, I'll see you later than I should go see Garcia because who knows what I'll get from her" Emily smiled at Morgan had a short hug, Emily picked up her bag and walked towards Garcia's office
"Hey Garcia..." Emily said opening the door, the words died on her lips when she saw a crying JJ. She looked around and saw the pictures she gave to JJ a year ago, Emily felt something break in her when she saw this she quickly left before either could explain. Not looking back Emily left the building climbed in to her car, and left. 'God what was that! She's going to hate me! She was crying over that photo in disguise' Emily thought she turned on the radio hoping to help distract her till 'All In My Head' came on by Tori Kelly, Emily couldn't change but she did realize this was going to be a long 5 months. Pulling in to her apartment building Emily sighed, she was only going to be living her a little longer. Then she will be off rising the child that is now in her stomach.
