Morgan was stood in the kitchen, making coffee for Fleur and himself.
"Morning." Fleur walked through to the kitchen.
"You sleep alright?" He turned to her.
"Kind of." Fleur sighed,"I don't know how to feel, Derek.. Emily's alive."
"I understand." Morgan shook his head,"I know it was for her safety.. But she lied to us. All of us."
"I'm just glad we didn't lose her forever, but seven months was enough."
"I just don't know if i can trust her, you know?"
"I understand." Fleur sighed.
Morgan held out the coffee to her,"Here, figured you'd like one."
"I don't usually take coffee but I think I will today." Fleur took it.
Morgan kissed her cheek,"We'll.. We'll figure it out."
"What lies in store for us today?" Fleur hummed.
"Hopefully nothing too bad." He shook his head.
"We never know."
"We've got enough to deal with."
"We better head." Fleur nodded, petting Beau.
"We'll see you when we get home." Morgan hummed as Marie rubbed against his legs.
"At least they're fed and happy."
"That's all that really matters."
"We love you both." Fleur hummed.

Elijah was sat on the couch, looking down at his arms.
"Love?" Reid walked downstairs.
"Hm?" Elijah looked up at him.
"Everything okay?"
"I'm fine."
"You're staring again."
Elijah sighed,"I know."
"What's wrong." He sat down.
"Everything- All of it."
Reid sighed and leaned against Elijah,"I know."
"I shouldn't have.. I should've said- I tried to stop until you got back from JJ's." Elijah looked away.
"What?" Reid looked at him.
"Just- I'm sorry."
"Elijah." Reid sighed.
"I tried. I promise, I tried." Elijah told him.
"It's..It's okay."
"It's not okay."
"It is. We'll get through it together."
Elijah leaned into Reid, reaching up to play with his hair.
"You're stuck with me so get used to this." Reid hummed.
"I really don't know what I'd do without you." Elijah sighed.
"You'd probably be living with twenty cats."
"That doesn't sound half bad actually."
"Hey." Reid chuckled.
"I'm kidding." Elijah leaned against Reid's shoulder,"I'd never give you up, not for anything."
"I'm glad to hear that."
Elijah smiled softly, taking Reid's hand and squeezing it,"I love you."
"And I love you." Reid smiled.
