Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds but I do own Allie, Ethan, and Lena
Hey guys! So funny story, when I first added Lena I had no clue where I got her name, but when I walked into my physics class it hit me. You see my Physics teacher named the doorstop Lena, and we'd been making jokes about it all the previous week. It made me laugh at how that happened, my Physics teacher found it funny as well. Well, any who, here is the next installment.
"Emily! Are you awake yet?" Elizabeth yelled, it was pushing close to 10 in the morning on the day of the Easter Ball.
"Yes, Mother." Emily yelled back, she rolled over stretching her body.
"Well, get moving. The guest will be arriving in two hours, and I haven't even seen what you are wearing yet." Emily mumbled swears at her mother before finally answering
"Of course, Mother." Emily slowly moved out of her bed, and went to the nursery. The nursery was a door down from Emily's room. It held a crib that Emily once slept in, the room was now painted a royal blue compared to its once purple color. The room had toys from top to bottom, anything that would bring a child joy. Lucky Lena was already watching the children.
"Good morning, Lena." Emily yawned as she picked up Ethan, "Good morning, my prince, how are you?" Emily cooed, tickling under his chin. Emily looked around the room and found Allie playing with a set of dolls from her childhood. Upon seeing this Emily felt an unknown joy in her chest.
"Good morning, Emily." Lena said placing a kiss on Emily's forehead. Nothing in the world could stop Lena from feeling a motherly love over Emily. Lena fell in love with Emily the moment she saw her, even if Emily didn't love her back at first.
"Morning, Mama!" Allie yelled in excitement
"Good morning, my princess." Emily smiled "Are you ready for today?" Allie nodded vigorously bouncing the morning curls in her hair, and showing off her dimples. "Well, then let's start to get ready princess, we have guest to meet soon." Allie jumped with joy; to her it was just playing princess. And she couldn't love it more.
Emily checked her phone, it was 11:55, she made it with 5 minutes to spare. Allie was dresses in a light pink 'princess' gown as she put it. It had a sheer top with a princess shirt, and a pink ribbon wrapped around the waist with a bow in the back. Emily curled Allie's lushes brown locks that fell to mid back. She wouldn't stop twirling, leaving Emily laughing as she walked down to the foyer. Emily was dress in a skin tight red gown. The gown had a respectful V-neck with a long sheer sleeves and fell down to her feet. She wore black pumps, easily covered by her dress. She applied light make up, with a red lip stick that matched her dress, her hair feel in lose curls much like Allie's. Emily dressed Ethan in a black suit with a red shirt. She figured she'd have him the whole night and made the joke with Lena that her and her date should match.
"Emily, dear, nice of you to join us today with your children." Elizabeth commented
"Hello to you to, Mother." Emily replied, joining her mother next to the door with Allie next to her and Ethan in her arms.
"Hi, Grandma." Allie said to Elizabeth
"Allie, it is Grandmother. Please don't be so informal." Elizabeth criticized Allie's smiled immediately turned into a pout.
"Mother" Emily hissed "She is 5"
"Age is but a number, Emily. You should of raised her better." Emily took a deep breath and crouched down to be eye level with her daughter.
"It's okay, Allie," Emily comforted her "Grandmother is just cranky today." Allie started laugh, a melody Emily wish she never stopped hearing
"Emily, stand up, and stop this instant guest are arriving." Elizabeth quickly scolded her daughter; she wouldn't stand for Emily embarrassing her any more than she already does. Elizabeth always hated that Emily's two children are bastard children. Nothing would ever cause her greeter embracement, nor could she understand how Emily could do such a thing. It ruined Elizabeth's imagine, she could only imagine what the other politicians say. Bastard grandchild; how embarrassing.
After two hours of greeting people Allie beginning getting restless, complaining about her feet hurting and being bored, of course she only would whisper these into Emily's ear, scared that Elizabeth would yell at her if she ever heard Allie them. With a break in the oncoming guest Emily pulled her mother aside
"Mother, Allie is getting restless and bored, along with Ethan. Please let Lena take them, Mother." Emily asked
"That is not my problem, Emily." Elizabeth flattens out her dress, giving her daughter a look of distaste "If you would have stayed here Allie would be use to this now. That being said Ethan needs to start getting use to it."
"Mother, we live in London not here. And to be honest I don't think they should have to do this, they only ever attend balls when you are forcing us too. They are children; everyone else's children are having fun, but mine. It is not fair mother." Emily retorted
"Life isn't fair, Emily. You should know this better than anyone else." Elizabeth stated. "Now come along, more guests are arriving." Emily let out a frustrated sigh.
"Lena!" Emily called
"Emily, what are you doing?" Elizabeth asked outraged
"Yes, Emily?" Lena rushed over to Emily
"Would you mind watching Allie and Ethan for a bit, while Mother and I greet the guest?" Emily asked, Lena smirked
"Of course not, Emily. Let me see the little munchkin." Lena said, taking a now smiling Ethan from Emily. "Come along Allie, let's go play." Elizabeth glared at Emily, and if it wasn't for the guests that were now coming, she would have yelled at Emily. It was another hour of greeting before Emily finally decided to go check on her kids. Emily left her mother in search of Lena. Emily looked around the Easter themed Ball, the adults were dressed in gowns and suit dancing to the orchestra that was playing. While children ran around outside try to find all the Easter eggs, and having fun. She paused for a moment watching some of the parent's nannies trying to keep the child under control. As much as Emily loved Lena and was glad that her children didn't have to keep greeting people, she didn't want a nanny to watch her children. They were hers, and no one else's. She wanted to be the only one to watch them, be the only one they loved like mother. More than anything, she didn't want her children and her self's relationship to become like the one between herself and her mother. She wanted her child to know that she loves them, and that she would do anything for them. Tearing her eyes away from the children Emily starts to go back to looking for Lena. At least until she runs into somebody, literal.
"Oh my god," She said as she fell to the floor, "I'm so sorry!" Emily started to get up but not before a set of hands came down to offer her help.
"Please, let me help you." Emily's head snapped up at the deep voice, a voice she would recognize anywhere. That voice belonged to a man with dark hair, darker eyes, and a dimpled smile. Looking up, their eyes meet for the first time in 15 months.
"Aaron…" She breathed
How was it? I might update again before next week, but that is just because it is spring pause.
