    Summary

    "I got you this," she says, sliding the mini apple pie onto the table. "Because you ate the whole plate and you deserve it."

    Jack shakes his head. Emily tugs at the edge of the china, her finger tracing the curve.

    "No dessert?" she asks, and she knows the answer before he even looks up.

    "I want my mom."

    Makes sense. Emily can't even remember if she ever saw Jack not latched onto Haley's hand, glued to her side. But now, right now, Jack's a singular thing.

    "You want your mom," Emily repeats, not a question.

    There's his aunt Jess near the door, giving a polite goodbye to a trio of strangers. But she can't see his mom.

    She nods, then. "Okay. We'll find your mom."

    Summary

    "Are you okay Hotch?"

    "I'm alright."

    "How did you get here? Are you cleared to drive yet?"

    "Haley's sister dropped me off."

    "Oh. That's nice of her. Morgan gave me a ride. He's in the parking lot now, I'm sure he'll be inside in a minute. Hey isn't that his sweatshirt?" He can't believe he just blurted that out, he hadn't meant to. Lucky for him, Hotch never has to answer.

    Summary

    “I didn’t say I don’t want to get married,” he says, “I didn’t say no.”

    She laughs disbelievingly, “You didn’t say anything, Aaron,” she grumbles, “You just stood there and said nothing,” she lifts her head to shake it before it thunks back against the door, “I think it’s the longest anyone has ever been silent in the history of the world.” 

    In which Emily proposes to Aaron, and she isn't sure which one of them is more surprised by it.

    Summary

    The smell of home and Emily’s shampoo, two things that have gone hand in hand for years, is replaced by the smell of sweat and blood. His scars ache, his skin pulling and burning like they are new again. He feels the sticky warmth of blood he knows isn’t real, but he tries to stop it anyway, his hands pressed against scars that had healed years ago.

    Summary

    She could have been happy here, but no amount of office tours or meetings across an ocean that absolutely could have been an email would make her wish she’d traded what she had now for this. 

    Emily is torn from a glimpse at a life she could have had by a call from home.
