Emily Prentiss One Shots

I Get It part two

Stepping into the pre sinc this morning, something felt wrong. You had a sinking feeling in your stomach and your skin crawled. You're assistant met you at your office door and had a look on her face that said it all. "Another one?" She nodded slowly.  A loud groan was heard from across the station. Plopping down at your desk you sighed, "Let me see the file." She handed it to you and immediately recognized the markings. An unsolved case from 2015 at the BAU. "I'm calling the BAU, this is their case."

"Prentiss." You swallowed the lump in your throat and spoke, "Hey." Prentiss' eyes flew open. "Y/n?" The pit in your stomach grew. "Hey Emily, we need help. Remember the case from 2015 where the unsub would carve a cross with an eye onto the stomachs?" You shoved down your undying love for Emily as you switched into professional mode. She heard the switch in tone and her heart ached. She missed hearing your voice, not your work voice but your real voice. "Uh- yeah, why is he in your area?" Her voice was shaky and full of fear. "Yeah he's gotten 2 now, I waited till it was serial." The tension was high, a mix of anger, and unrequited love. Words left unsaid, "Y/n I-" "No, don't. You've had 2 years to call me, text me, write me and I got nothing. No apology nothing. Now, I've moved on, I'm sure you and Jay are fine. I want this case to be professional, it's my first serial case as captain." Emily was dumbfounded by the hiss in your voice. "I- I uh complain agree, also um, JJ and I broke up shortly after you left." Your heart rate sped up. "She could tell I wasn't in it 100% so she broke it off. She wasn't angry or anything, she understood once I explained it to her and I wish you would let me do the same." Your heart sank due to the pain and crack in her voice. You did that to her, "We'll talk when you get here, wheels up." She smiled at the last two words. "Wheels up."

"Hey guys I'm Officer Carter, Captain is in her office," A young man greeted the agents at the doors, "she'll join y'all soon. We have you set up in here." He pointed to a small conference with glass walls. With a small nod and quick introductions the team started to work, Spencer pulled out a stack of files from his bag, "What are those?" Carter obviously wasn't aware of the BAU's previous case. "We actually had this case a couple of years ago, it went cold until now." Spender awkwardly nodded as he explained. "Oh." Carter nodded slowly, "Uh I'm gonna find Cap." He left silently.

"Okay so, Reid work on geological profile, Rossi and JJ go talk to the victim's family, Alvez and Lewis go see the ME. Matt and I will start looking through the crime scene photos for any change in signature." Emily gave orders, "ME is downstairs first door on the left." You announced as you leaned against the door, a large smile on your face. It warmed your heart to see all of them again. "Y/n!" Reid practically screamed as he launched himself at you. You wrapped your arms around him and breathed in his scent. He has always smelled like pine and old books. Cologne always made his skin break out. When he finally pulled away similar moments were had with the rest of the team before Emily interjected, "We need to get to work guys." She seemed happy and upset at the same time. Reid sat at the table and you stepped towards Em, "What are thinking so far?"

A few hours later, the team was on to something and Alvez and Reid went to check out a lead. You popped your head in the conference just to get an update before you heading to get a cup of coffee. The small break room looked a lot better than you first got there but you couldn't help but make a mental list of things that need work every time you went in there. "This couch has Y/L/N all over it." You looked at Emily who had apparently followed you. "Yeah, it's-" "Oh my God! This is the couch from your place in DC." She ran her hand on the armrest and the same memory flew into both your minds.

The snow was only falling harder as you sat and watched a bad Christmas movie. A knock on the door startled you. Slipping your slippers on you padded to the door, surprised when Emily was there. "Hey, can I uh, come in?" You nodded and moved out of her way. She walked in and sat on the couch, her coat lying on the coffee table. "What's up?" You sat beside her noticing how the snow stuck to her hair and eyelashes. Her cheeks a rosy color. "I like you. A lot. Hotch won't like it but-" You shut her up by smashing your lips onto her cold ones. Laying almost on top of her.

"I thought the officers deserved a nice place to relax in between calls. I swear Lousiana is, a shit show to say the least." She chuckled and sat down, you following suit. "Y/n, I am so truly sorry. I was so eaten up by you leaving and, I still can't forgive myself for," She paused tapping her bottom lip with her tongue, and took a calming breath. "For what I did to you. I was young and stupid. I thought that if I could come out with JJ, it would be easier with someone I actually loved. It makes no sense to me now or anyone else. I'm so sorry." Tears threatened to spring from both your eyes as her phone started to ring. Secretly you were grateful for it, scared of telling her that you have missed her every day since that night at the bar. "Prentiss, okay, fall back, we're on the way." She shot up, "Get your guys, it's go time" You walked out the break room announcing names, "If your name was called, get your gear and let's roll. The BAU has the lead on this." Walking into your office you got your own gear following the SVU's in your patrol car.

By the time the unsub was on the bus to prison, you had made up your mind to tell Emily how you were feeling. Rossi could see your anxiety rising, 'What's going on in there? We got him, you can go back to drunken arguments and robberies." You both chuckled, You leaned against a desk and sighed, "I miss the BAU. A lot. I just don't know, everything with Emily." Rossi took a deep breath, "Well they might need you. I'm stepping down from my position as sergeant. I'm still gonna be at the BAU." A face of shock took over your face. "Prentiss is gonna need someone to fill my spot, and I know the team misses you." You peered over at them packing up files and joking with each other, the mood much lighter now. "Just think about it.' With that he went to help, Prentiss approaching you. "Can I ask you something?" She scrunched her eyebrows, "I hesitate to say yes, but yes." She stood directly in front of you, "Did you still move into that apartment?" She slowly nodded, knowing that was leading to another question. "Is there still room for me and Ham?" Happiness flooded her veins, you were asking to come back to the BAU and be with her again. Emily couldn't form a word so she just leaned into you and softly kissed you instead. The team and officers whooping, "Cap getting some!" You smiled and Emily flashed her famous, showstopping smile.

Two months later you and your french bulldog were moved into the apartment and you were moved into your office in the BAU. Rossi insisted that he take an office down the hall and you take his. Sitting in your desk chair you could hear JJ, Garcia, and Morgan teasing Reid. A knock at the door made you smile, "Come in." Prentiss walked in holding a vase of flowers, "Congratulations on your own office in the FBI." You stood up taking the flowers from her, setting them on the desk, and turning around to press a breath-taking kiss on her lips. She wrapped her arms around you waist, "What was that for?" You smiled, "I'm just happy to be back, and that JJ doesn't hate my guts." Emily swatted your hand, "Don't say that, she could never, plus I think she slept with that Officer La-Mon-Goose." You cackled, "LaMontagne honey." You felt as though everything was right in the world. You finally got it.
