A/N~ Warning for rather explicit mentions of suicide. If you are sensitive to this topic, please skip this chapter.

It was about a week later when Reid didn't show up to work. The entire team was worried as they gathered in the conference room, but Hotch assured them that nothing was wrong.

"Reid called in earlier, said he needed to take a personal day. Since he has so much vacation time saved up, I saw no problem with it." Hotch explained.

JJ shrugged, before proceeding to present the case. "Three women in San Diego have been sexually assaulted and then strangled over the past four months…"

Ariel came out of their bedroom that morning without even bothering to get showered or anything. Spencer should already have been at work, and this was the one day of the year where she allowed herself to be a lazy and depressed little girl.

"Morning."

Ariel jumped a bit before she realized it was just her husband. "Spence!" she scolded. "You scared me."

"Sorry." he said. "Coffee?"

"Yes please." she said, and Spencer handed her a cup of perfectly prepared coffee. "You

are forgiven for scaring me."

"Oh, well thank you for that." he responded sarcastically.

"I thought you had a case." Ariel said after taking a sip of her coffee.

"I did." he admitted. "But I stayed home because of today."

"Oh yeah?" Ariel asked her husband, trying to play innocent. "What's today?"

Spencer just gave her a look. "You know what today is." he chided gently.

Ariel's P.O.V.

I gave up the act quickly, putting down my mug to go and be comforted by my husband. It had been six years to the day now. Spencer was with me that night when I had come home to find Amelia's body. My sister had committed suicide that night by slitting her wrists.

I had never really been able to forgive myself for not paying enough attention to have seen what was going on.

"Ariel," Spencer said gently as he wrapped his arms around me. "There was nothing you could have done."

I spun to face him. "How can you say that?" I asked him. "Of course I could have done something!"

"No you couldn't have. Amy had depression, Ari." he said gently. "Only half of Americans that know that they are having a major depressive episode get treatment, and even then they don't really get better, they only learn how to manage it. And Amy didn't know - or if she did know she never told anyone."

"So what am I supposed to do?" I yelled. "Just ignore it? Go on with my life and pretend that she never existed?"

"Of course not." Spencer said as he grabbed my wrists, pulling me to him. "You're supposed to write."

I stopped, confused. "What?"

"I know you, Ariel." Spencer said gently. "Better than anyone - except maybe Kat. That's what you do when you don't know how to deal with the world anymore. You write until it makes sense again."

Then he gently guided me to the table, where he had already set up a notebook and pencils for me, and he pushed me into a seat. "So go ahead and do what you do, okay?" he said. "I'm going to go to the store - we're almost out of milk. And… if you want, when I get home… we can talk."

I smiled up at my husband, trying not to cry. "Yeah." I said softly. "That sounds good."

Reid's P.O.V.

It took me about two hours to finish shopping - we needed a lot more than just milk - and by the time that I got back to our apartment, almost three hours had passed.

But as I got out of the elevator on our floor, I felt happier than I had all week. Because already I could hear the faint sounds of guitar chords coming from our apartment.

I unlocked the door - and then unlocked it again, since I had accidentally locked it - and went inside, trying to make as little noise as possible so I didn't end up accidentally interrupting Ari.

"And you will always be perfect

You'll always be beautiful

Our hearts, will never forget you

You didn't belong here

And it's become so clear why heaven called your name

And it just doesn't seem right, was it really your time?

Are we dreaming?

We'll never let go of you

Wish you were here, but it's becoming clear

That Earth's just not the place for an angel like you

And now we, must let you move forward

Our love lies with you

Our souls fly with you, Amelia"

She finished by letting the guitar chords just trail off, and when she looked up I noticed that she had been crying a lot. I still pretended not to notice, though, because Ariel always hated to appear weak.

"You've been thinking that one up for awhile, haven't you?" I asked her as I put the groceries away.

She didn't respond, and I just kept putting things away until I felt arms wrap around my waist, making me jump.

"Yeah." Ariel said, laying her head in between my shoulder blades. "I have."

"It sounds great, Ari. Amy would have loved it." I told her honestly, spinning around so that I could hold her properly. As I took in the sight of my wife, I thought back to the other night when Morgan had come over for dinner. I remembered how confused he had looked when he first met Ariel - and then even more confused when he met all of our friends. I could see why he was confused, honestly.

I tended to try and stay far away from the spotlight at work, but with my friends I tended to get right in the thick of things. And then there was just the obvious differences in interests, which were noticeable even just by looking at our clothing. But we made it work, and I was so happy that Morgan had seemed to accept it with little to no problems.

Hopefully the rest of my team would be as understanding… but just in case, I decided to try and keep the two parts of my life from intersecting for as long as possible.

With that figured out, I turned my attention back to what I had planned for the day - keeping my wife from wallowing in guilt and grief for as long as possible.

A/N~ So the song in this chapter is called "Amelia," by Tonight Alive. I do not own the song, or anything else except for the plot and the members of Undiscovered Nemesis. Thank you to ahowell1993 ( I figured someone on the team had to have known about her), ripon (thanks so much for the idea), jorvau5982 (She is definitely gifted, but she's not as much of a book-smarts person. But Ariel does have her own gifts, of course), KirkSauber, , tannerose5, opukata (what makes you think that Ariel has a secret? XD), and vampire and inuyasha lover 13 for their reviews! You guys are all so amazing!
