"Is that Anthony?" Emily asks as we enter the hotel, pointing towards the reception.

"Yeah, i think it is. But if he's here that means Thea is here and the twins"

"He had twins? I thought he only had one daughter, with that Leslie girl"

"Her? She has her own daughter now and Leslie is dating Mitchell"

"Wait, so Leslie Swan went on to date her baby daddy's brother. Damn and i thought you complicated the family gatherings"

"So i did, but they moved to Atlanta when i was gone and then we moved. So imagine the last mental state he saw me in?" they all make an 'oh' sound at the realisation as they are also the three that knows about that.

"Who's that?" Jack answers as he points towards Anthony. I take down his hand as it's rude to point.

"That's my oldest brother Jack, Anthony"

"Well, go in. If we stand here much longer they'll think you're scared" Aaron says, knowing how to push my buttons.

"I'm not scared, i'm just... nevermind. Let's get checked in and take a look at the restaurant" i say, continuing to walk, knowing damn well that i'm scared. Thea didn't have much liking to me either, probably gonna make a comment about my mental state. Jack comes running up next to me.

"Aunt y/n" both Gabriella and Harrier yell as they run up to me, bringing the attention to me whether i like it or not. Glad to know that they don't have anything against me. As i hug them back i see Anthony turned towards me and Thea looking at me from a few feet away. And to think that they're both nineteen now, but it makes me feel younger. Considering that Anthony is the oldest, it's not weird that he's got the oldest children.

"Gabby, Ria" i great them and as i let go i realise that Aaron, Penelope, Emily and Jack are behind me watching. Thea gets up beside my brother, looking disapproving at me but i couldn't even care less. This is my chance to show that i can stand on my own, even though i'm not alone. "Hey Tony, Thea. Long time so see"

"Yeah, you seem to be a little better" Thea says and even though most wouldn't see it, it's an insult.

"Mom" Harriet says to her mothers comment but i just give her a loving smile that says it's okay.

"Yea i am, thanks" i love getting on her nerves. "This is my friend Penelope while i hope you remember Aaron and Emily"

"Prentiss and Hotchner, right?" Anthony asks, extending his hand in a greeting, which they accept.

"Anthony is my oldest brother, this is his lovely wife Thea and their daughters Harriet and Gabriella" i introduce them as they didn't seem to have any intention to. "Well it was lovely to see you and we'll see you at James's tomorrow?"

"We'll see you there" and with that they're on their way to their own rooms.

"I thought you said your family hates you?" Penleope asks and i don't blame her for believing in that show.

"Some doesn't, but others like Thea do. Others, like Anthony, just don't care"

"So she did really comment on your mental status or did i imagine that?" Aaron asks and i'm glad i just wasn't imagining that. I don't like her either so maybe i could have.

"Oh no, you didn't imagine that. If her daughters weren't there her comment would have been worse"

"I don't like her, she was mean to you" Jack says and i can't help but smile at the boy.

"I don't like her either but i just love to pretend i don't care to get on her nerves"

"Wouldn't your brother stop her?" Emily asks.

"Nope, but come on. Let's get checked in, i'm starving" even though i would rather throw up everything i ate on the plane. And that's what we do, where i notice that, since Emily booked us, we have one king size and a two. Penelope and Aaron were busy getting our luggage that they didn't even notice.

"Em, what were you thinking?"

"That i could get a romantic weekend with my boyfriend while Jack sleeps in your room. And maybe that it would make you admit the truth" she says, not even realising how serious this is.

"I'm engaged Emily Prentiss, i can't go off and share a bed with the one person my fiance is actually jealous of"

"I wonder why she's jealous if, as you say, there is nothing going on between you two" i don't get to say something to that as the two others get back so i come up with an excuse.

"There was a mixup so instead of three singles and a double, we get a double and a king size" and before Penelope can say anything as she doesn't know that they are a they yet. "So let's bunk up, Aaron are you okay with sharing a room with Emily while me, Penelope and Jack take the other" i ask him and i can even see the lust in his eyes that are on Emily.

"Yeah sure shouldn't be a problem right" now he looks at me with the same gaze Emily had a few seconds earlier about me and Penny.

"Right, lets go then" we all go to out hotel rooms where Penelope doesn't even question that it should have been divided into girls and boys.

We go out for dinner and i choose to fill the silence by going through everyone who's gonna be there, at least who should and can be there, and they listen closely. I even say it in order, oldest to youngest.

Anthony and his wife Thea Queen, their daughters Gabriella and Harriet Queen-Sloan. Mitchell and his wife Leslie Swan whom he now shares last name with. Leslie already has a daughter with Anthony called Ella Sloan who actually has a daughter of her own called Moa Sloan. Susana Shannon who is married to the late Thomas, they share a son who was born a girl named William. Fredrick married Gael Nolan and went on to adopt a daughter named Mandy Nolan. Mark is currently dating Lexie Grey. James, that Emily used to date, is engaged to Isabella which is who we're here to celebrate. Robert has a daughter with his ex Miranda Sherman named Hallie Sherman, later went on to date Jane King whom he adopted a girl named Emily and later gave birth to a girl they named Amelia.

My late mothers sister Hallie Kingsley and her husband George have a son named Lucas who is the same age as me. Lucas married Felicia and had four kids named Christina, Molly, Amanda and Henry. My father's mother is my only grandparent but the chance of her coming, as she's in a nursing home back in New York, is slim.

I'm close with Geal, Jane as well as Lexie. Me and Susana have a strained friendship after Thomas. And my brother's daughter Ella sees me like a big sister since i was only 15 when she was born and i've got a great relationship with her and her daughter. Mario (my dad), Fredrick, Mitchell and Robert are still mad at me and kind of hate me. But Leslie has nothing against me because of my relationship with her daughter and granddaughter. The rest i don't have a clue if they just hate me or can't even be bothered. So to conclude, i've got a better relationship with half of my brothers and some wifes/girlfriends and the children also.

A\N am I the only one who feels like this is moving to slow? No? Okay but I'm gonna speed things up anyways because even though I am the writer, I can't wait to find out what happens.
