(River p.o.v)

I've been back now for a month and a half and I am so mad. I was doing some work at my desk at the BAU since Lance, Hotch and Rossi think it's a good way to slowly ease me back in before I start doing field work again. But everyone were giving me side glances and walking on egg shells around me. Which has lead to my breaking point.

"Ok that's it! Everyone in the round table room now!" I shouted making them quickly rush there.
I went to Hotchs office to collect him and Rossi since they weren't with the others.
"Is there a new case?" Hotch asked
"No I'm just telling the whole team while I was at Hawaii for four months since they are practically walking on eggshells around me like I'm gonna run again."
"You sure?"
"If that doesn't work I'll hit them."
"How I have missed you River." Rossi told as they stood and walked ahead of me.
Once everyone was seated and the doors were shut I stood in front of the tv.
"Ok now I don't need anyone running to hug me while I tell you guys this and do not give me sympathetic looks cause Imma hit ya. Got it?" I asked and they all nodded.
"You sure your ready for them to know?" Spencer asked
"Might as well cause I can tell they are walking on eggshells around me and I don't need that. Now the reason I ran was because I had to take a four month holiday that only Hotch knew the reason for. The first day I was with my brother I thought about killing myself because of what happened and being a hostage brought me back to my 8-9 year old mind. I am fine. I didn't hurt myself in any way and I only thought it for a split second till I remembered I have you guys and I knew you would find me. I told Hotch and we agreed I will take the time off to go to meetings and make sure I'm perfectly fine. We agreed Hawaii since Nik can't get onto planes or he will be caught. It was the safest option for me while I got help. We didn't tell you guys because I knew you would walk on eggshells and be way over protective of me especially after what I went through. I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys but it was the only way. Spencer was told while you guys were working on that case and that's why he came with me when the alarm on my phone went off, since he knew it was a meeting."
"So Sweets?" Emily asked
"Hotch said I couldn't come back fully if I didn't see someone for a bit when I got back. Thankfully he is taking a year off at the fbi base and agreed to help me as well as update me on Sniper and the other way around if it's possible."
"Why do you need updates on your cousin?" Penelope asked
"Oh cause the fucker agreed to go back and enlist again but this time he's training soldiers in Afghanistan. Fucken dumb cunt left his kid in Washington with the mother and I'm like why the absolute fuck would you do that?!"
"I have no idea if she's mad at her cousin or just everything." Derek told
"She's mad that he went to Afghanistan." J stated
"Fuck the government and its wars honestly."
"What?" They all asked
"River doesn't agree with going to war." J stated
"I thought it runs in your family though?" Rossi asked
"Not going to war.... kinda. On my mother's side many of the decedents because of one ancestors decision have gone into some force of sorts. Most notably they serve in wars."
"So Hank is....." Penelope began
"My grandfather."
"I thought that would work."
"Hank is her mother's father." J told
"Why you gotta snitch?"
"How does she know?"
"I told J ages ago."
"So this whole time..." Derek began before I cut in.
"I've just been trying to get better, so I can come back to work here. We didn't want any relapses or for me to rush back in when I wasn't fully ready. I'm ok now, and Lance is only here for another month and a half, not even since they all agree I'm making great strides."
"It's true." Hotch stated.
"What about Rossi?" Emily asked.
"Oh he worked out I was in Hawaii and why I was there. My dad smort."
"That's my Il mio piccolo genio." He told.
I could sense what people wanted to do making me give a sigh.
"Yes you can now all hug me." I told making them rush up and join into a group hug.
'I'm glad I've got them.'
