Derek: "I couldn't have dreamed you into existence because I didn't even know I needed you. You must have been sent to me." Kamand Kojouri

One year and two months later

"You two have fun!" Penelope sang out as Emily and Aaron walked out of the bullpen. "Send me lots of pictures from New York!"

"We will!" Emily said and walked into the elevator with Aaron in her hand. The two waving at Penelope as the elevator doors closed.

"Oh, thank heavens," Penelope said as she walked into the bullpen. Derek chuckled as he saw Penelope plop herself down at Emily's desk.

"What's going on with you? You look five years younger when you sat down," Derek said and leaned over his desk. Penelope looked over at him as Spencer and JJ walked into the bullpen.

"Now that Emily and Hotch are officially gone for their trip to New York, I can finally spill the beans. I think Hotch is up to something," Penelope said and glanced back and forth between the three agents.

"Up to something?" Spencer asked and raised his eyebrows. "I thought they were just going up to New York just to see Sean?"

"I smell something else in the air," Penelope said and crossed her legs as she sat back.

"Like a proposal?" JJ asked in disbelief. The rest of them all glanced up at her. Penelope knew that look. That look wasn't good. JJ was getting into her head about something.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

JJ grabbed her phone and saw the contact. "Hey."

"Hey, you on your way home? I made some spicy chicken pasta. Henry is already asking for you," Will said and chuckled. JJ bit her lip as she turned her back to the agents.

"Yeah, uh, I'll be home in a bit. Thanks for making dinner," JJ said before hanging up the phone. She turned back around and joined mid-conversation.

"And he came into my office asking if he should get silver or gold jewelry for Emily. Now, I know Emily doesn't like silver jewelry. The only silver jewelry she wears daily is the charm bracelet JJ got her for her birthday last year. But it sounded pretty fishy," Penelope said and put her hands up in surrender. She chuckled and looked over at JJ. "You going to head out?"

"Yeah, uh, mom duty calls. Will is already getting anxious that I'm not home," JJ said and pursed her lips. She grabbed her bag and sighed. "I'll see you guys later."

JJ found herself mindlessly heading towards the garage. She got into her car and sat back in her seat—the woman taking a deep breath before starting the car. JJ didn't remember pulling out of the parking lot or going into the main road she takes home.

Emily getting married?

"You are quite a romancer, JJ," Emily said and smiled widely. The blonde woman shrugged and watched Emily set the rose down gently next to her. "This almost feels like a date."
