"The winters mar the Earth
It's floored with frozen glass
You slip into my arms
And you quickly correct yourself
Your freezing speech bubbles
Seem to hold your words aloft
I want the smoky clouds of laughter
To swim about me forever more"
"I cannot believe you, Emily," Elizabeth Prentiss complained as she paced around the bedroom as her daughter brushed her hair, trying to ignore her mother. "First you decide to get married here, and now I find out you didn't invite all the people I told you to invite! I'm going to have to explain this to people, Emily."
Emily rolled her eyes and groaned. "I told you that we wanted a small wedding, mom. Just friends and family."
"You mean your friends and JJ's family. What about your cousins and aunts and uncles, huh? What am I going to tell them?"
"I don't know, mother!" Emily muttered under her breath. "Just tell them we eloped. I don't care. I don't even know them."
"And what are people going to say when they hear that David Rossi walked you down the aisle, not a family member?" Elizabeth asked as she sat down on the bed.
Emily brushed her hair out of her face and turned to her mother, her dress making a loud noise when she moved. "Why did you come? If all you were going to do was complain, why did you come to my wedding? You didn't want anything to do with me when JJ and I started to date two years ago. Why now do you care?"
The ambassador looked away from her daughter. She coughed and stood up. "You're still my daughter, Emily. It would be unconventional for me to not attend your wedding. I'm going to go check on the flowers. And see if this house is still intact. God knows why you decided to get married in this old lake house."
The profiler was happy when her mother left. She finally felt peaceful on the happiest day of her life. She was marrying Jennifer Jareau. What else could be better?
She jumped when there was a knock and the door opened. She was squealed when she saw someone she hadn't seen in years. "Oh my god, Remi!"
"Emily!" Remi cheered as she hugged her old girlfriend. "It's so good to see you! I'm so sorry that we couldn't get here until now!"
"That's okay!" Emily told her as she let go of the familiar woman. "I'm just glad you got here. I haven't seen you in what, two years? I would have gone to see you if you didn't elope."
"I know, I know!" Remi said as she and Emily sat down on the bed. "But we just wanted to get it over with. And we really wanted kids."
Emily grinned at her friend. "When's Jordan due again?"
"Three months," Remi told her. "We're super excited. We are settling down in Toronto, can you believe it?"
The agent pretended to gasp. "You? Settling down? Living in one place? I can't even imagine it!"
"Ha, ha. But, I know. It feels all so surreal. I wish you could have been there for the wedding. You introduced us, we owe everything to you."
Emily shrugged as if it was no big deal. "It was you guys who fell in love. I only introduced you guys. You did all the rest."
"Thank you," Remi said as she gave her another quick hug. "And... I told you so! I told you that JJ wasn't straight!"
The profiler glared at her playfully. "Oh, shut it. But thank you. Without you, I don't think that I would have been able to do this. Have a healthy relationship... let her in. All of it."
