Song: This Women's Work by Greg Lawswell

The team was on there way home and Spencer was in the back of the jet reading. Emily came and sat down next to him. "You're still up?" Emily asked. "Can't sleep." Spencer said. Emily looked at Spencer with a confused look. "I can't sleep because every time I do I dream of Emma and it makes me miss her." Spencer admitted. Emily just looked at Spencer as he put his head down in shame. "What does she do in your dreams?" Emily asked. "We're walking around New York and when we go to Central Park she shows me all the trees then she comments on how she loves the cherry blossom trees the best because there's a lot of history behind them and why they're there." Spencer started to smile. "Then she starts singing this song and I can't get it out of my head." "What song was it?" "La Vie en Rose by Louis Armstrong." Spencer smirked. "We would always hear that song everywhere we went in New York." "That's a classic jazz song." Emily commented. Spencer smiled and nodded. "Reid, I think this dream that you keep having is Emma trying to say goodbye to you for the last time so let her." Spencer just looked at Emily. "Think about it." Emily said then walked away. Spencer stared out the window for a little bit then leaned back and closed his eyes.

"Hi." Emma said."Hi." Said Spencer. "So, where should we go today?" Emma asked.
"Anywhere you want to go." Spencer smiled.
"Alright, Central Park it is." When they got there they walked around for a bit. "Aren't these trees beautiful?" Emma asked. "Yeah."
"I like the cherry blossoms the most." Emma smiled. "Why is that?" Spencer asked. "Because they're the ones with the most history behind them." Spencer gave Emma a confused look. "Japan delivered them to New York over 100 years ago to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Henry Hudson's voyage." Emma explained. Spencer just smiled at her.
"What?" Emma asked with a smile.
"Nothing." Spencer said. Emma rolled her eyes. Spencer looked around for awhile then finally spoke. "I miss you." Emma smiled. "I miss you too." They both smiled at each other. "But remember I'm always right here." Emma put her hand on Spencer's heart. "Whenever you need me." Spencer smiled. Emma smiled back. "Kiss me." Emma said. Spencer hesitated at first but then he did kiss Emma and then they started to hug each other tighter and tighter.
